  1. Personally, I saw no difference between the way Eboni was acting and the way Ramona, Luann and Leah were acting. In fact, of all of them, Eboni probably stayed the most calm - Leah literally stormed away screaming at everyone, Ramona was banging her hands on the table at one point and Luann was very quick to defensively infer things that were not actually said (ie insisting that Eboni was saying that she was uneducated). And I think that's the point here - Eboni was being held to a different standard than the other women, and, in that different standard, she was specifically being called "angry" when no one else was being described as such. And even though there may in fact be people who have no idea about the angry black woman stereotype, there are also many, many people who are familiar with it (myself included - I'm white, btw), which means it is a real thing that exists for many women of color. As such, I don't think Eboni did anything wrong here and that it would behoove women like Luann and Ramona to listen to what Eboni has to say about it.
  2. Literally the letter "s" lol - and they repeatedly said the username, so it was clearly named. Not sure why they blurred it out but didn't bleep it. In other news, I totally called that it was going to be a vengeful person from Michael's past the second that it was revealed that the Catfish randomly texted him out of nowhere. It definitely seemed like Michael was leading the ex-boyfriend along a bit, but it also bothered me that neither Nev nor Kamie impressed upon the Catfish that it was wrong to be so deceptive. I felt like they gave him a lot of leeway and slack for his hurt feelings. It's, like, no, dude, there is no justification for this kind of crazy behavior.
  3. Most people in Hollywood have money managers who manage and pay their bills for them. I worked as a personal assistant to a Hollywood couple and any question regarding bills, credit card charges, frequent flyer miles etc went straight to the money manager. Considering both Garcelle's career and also her marriage to a high-powered agent, I would be seriously surprised if she sat down at her desk each week and wrote checks. Same goes for Kyle, Rinna, Erika or any of them. It's how certain corrupt financial advisors are able to steal easily from clients. Anyhow, I've seen no other evidence from Garcelle that she would make up lies about this sort of thing so I am taking her at her word.
  4. Except that's not what Garcelle said. She explained clearly why being accused of "stiffing a bill" plays into a stereotype she has experienced around black people being cheap or not paying what's owed. And apparently she was taken aback by the accusation at the reunion because she hadn't realized that the donation hadn't been made - that is a big difference from someone who is simply trying to slink out of responsibility for an intentional shitty thing they did.
  5. I miss Max so much. His response to the lamb skin dildo was everything.
  6. I came here to find out this very thing. I just couldn't help but feel that Chris was transgendered - or, now that you say it, a lesbian - who was pretending to have a hormonal imbalance. He didn't even mention the name of the condition. How awful for him that he has to go to such extremes to hide himself.
  7. Apparently there are three "newbies" on the show.
  8. Yeah, I can imagine if D'Andra initially offered him half, and then the stepmom came for all the money, how she would be reticent to make any sort of deal or compromise with that side of the family afterward. It's pretty vicious and aggressive to try and leave D'Andra with nothing. I'm sure the court battle soured things for D'Andra in a major way. It would be hard for me to be generous to a family that essentially tried to come after me.
  9. Because she made him sandwiches!
  10. Because she lives for being a victim! It's such an energy suck. Don't leave Margaret's horrible decor out of this!
  11. She's literally been doing this since last season. If you go back and watch, all that drama between Paige/Amanda and Lindsay originated from Hannah running between the two parties, reporting what they said to one another, and then backing away like she had nothing to do with it. It's her MO.
  12. Eh, I felt like the subtext of that conversation for Hannah was basically, "All our problems are Kyle's fault - and btw, do you see how mature I am for acknowledging the tough spot you're in?" Hannah has to be one of the most passive-aggressive, self-serving people I've ever seen on a reality show.
  13. They're both awful. And, yes, he did play games with her. But she also hung around for seven freakin' months somehow hoping things would change - all the while judging Amanda for putting up with Kyle's "bad" treatment (he actually seems like a very devoted fiancee these days). Um, Hannah, you don't really have a leg to stand on when you let yourself be dragged along by Luke and his "sexy" motorcycle. Kyle was right when he said that Hannah needs to go find a real relationship - then maybe she can talk.
  14. I kind of saw both of their sides. As a homebody, it would be a major inconvenience if my roommate suddenly decided to bring their gaggle of interns into the apartment (especially if she was typically self-involved). On the other hand, Lindsay was in an emergency situation and was literally asking for one day with the interns at the apartment - Christina could have been a bit more flexible/forgiving.
  15. I've never forgotten how Luke said he does absolutely no personal grooming down there, which - and I know mileage varies on this - but for me that is a major no-go with a guy!
  16. I did love his logic that movers are apparently so hard to schedule that you simply have to leap when they're available - ha! On what planet do you book your move around the movers' schedule and not your own? Especially in the middle of a pandemic when I imagine not a ton of people are moving?
  17. Yes, he genuinely cares about people. And I've never forgotten when he's been on the right side of "Summer House" history - his indignation at Kristina slut-shaming Carl's guests in Season 1, for example. And, honestly, he's grown over the course of the series. He's a much better partner to Amanda now than he was in the past. Kyle may be simple in a lot of ways, but his heart seems genuinely good, and we've never seen the vitriol in him that we've seen from, say, Carl or Luke or Jordan or...
  18. Yes, I cannot help but love him! He's my true reality TV guilty pleasure.
  19. It's the one thing I can't stand about Kyle!
  20. Hannah is the absolute worst. She demands people be "direct" with her while she has carte blanche to run around talking shit about everyone all the time. She gets the whole house wound up. They seriously need to put her in time out.
  21. I thought the way they treated Ramona at the reunion re: COVID was disgusting. The women didn't care about Ramona's COVID protocol, and they wouldn't have taken the same issue if it had been, like, Sonja on the beach in Miami - they simply didn't like Ramona and were using COVID as a way to criticize her. I say this all as someone who takes COVID seriously and abides by the generally accepted precautions. Even still, I acknowledge we all have freedom of choice, we're all making the decisions that feel right to us, and the way they went after Ramona felt like virtue signaling at its worst. Go after her for her behavior on the show, not for how she handles a pandemic.
  22. I'm speechless. Is the season over?
  23. None of them! That was part of the huge problem with this season - it's a cast full of supporting players with no star. That said, I find Gina the most likable so I would have rather her make the final toast.
  24. Kelly seemed like a lunatic yelling at Braunwyn about moving to Laguna. Who cares? And why is Kelly even mad at Braunwyn anyway? Did I miss where Braunwyn did something to her personally? Oh, right, I guess they disagreed about BLM. Did I hear Braunwyn right that she's on her 9th step already? And she's six months sober? That's awful fast. It's interesting to me that she's in a new relationship, on her 9th step and starting drug counselor classes all within six months of getting sober. Is her sponsor not talking to her about slowing down? It just seems like Braunwyn is replacing her alcohol addiction with frenetic "recovery." She's going to crash and burn soon if she's not careful. Emily giving the final toast - sorry, Emily is not an anchor of this show. She never will be.
