Resident therapist here to chime in with a pet peeve! School psychologists do NOT do counseling in schools. They do testing and assessments for students who need IEPs. It is typical for there to be only one for an entire district. They are still overworked, but their job is not to do therapy with 3000 students. School COUNSLEORS, however, are Master's level counselors who have been trained in counseling. They are the people you would want to send your kid to after something like this. They are also overworked and have huge caseloads, but they do counseling. The unfortunate stereotype is that all they do is scheduling and are inept at everything. I went to graduate school for school counseling, and I also have my professional license and I work in a private practice. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I love Kim and Penn and I am not ashamed to say it! They worked in media before they gained social media fame, so the foley task seemed right up their alley. I was nervous when they were on the race because I really like them and sometimes you see a bad side of people on these shows, but they really do have a great partnership. They clearly love each other and they LIKE each other. Having been married so long they know how to communicate with each other and how to handle each other when they get emotional. It was so nice to see a partnership like that on this show. Actually, all three of the final teams were this way. I didn't really like Dusty (not generally a fan of the dude bro type) but Ryan knew exactly what to do with him during the rock task when he called him up to take in the view. And the girls were also so supportive of each other, never getting snippy or catty. This was one of the best final three I think I've seen, and the order of finishing was exactly what I wanted.

Why did no one call him out on this crazy talk? At least one of those other guys had to have thought this was over the top and scary, right?

I agree. Thi would be a different question if they were in their early 20s and moved right from their parents house to marriage, but I tried really hard to understand the sentiment behind his idiotic words.

Here's what I optimistically think O is trying to say: I want a partner who has life skills and can be independent as well as be a partner. Here's what O is coming across as saying: I'm a giant chauvanist and need a woman who cooks and cleans and you, Katina, are a baby who knows nothing about the world and I have to parent you.

I thought about this too. I was surprised when he didn't say that actually. Calling a Black man angry can lead to some serious consequences that just don't happen when you call a white man angry.

I must have missed it. I just think they way people are horrified and keep emphasizing "three bottles of wine" in all caps seem like it is understood that she put away 3 full size bottles, when it was more like 3-4 glasses of wine. That might be a lot, but she was on a plane on the way to her honeymoon. Why not?

I think that some people are missing the fact that airplane bottles of wine are not the same as bottles of wine you would buy at the store. 3 bottles of 187 mL does not equal 3 bottles of 750 mL.

I watched the first few episodes of the Secrets of Playboy on A&E and who shows up on my screen in defense of Hef and his bad behavior? Jonathan the wife pusher, of Jonathan and Victoria fame. Of course he's a Hef defender. Ew.

Dusty thought he knew how to make cheese better than the actual directions. Just follow the instructions dude. Emmy nomination: the greeter at the mat. His interaction with the girls when Dusty and Ryan started taking their lifejackets off was perfect. Apparently 6 pack abs translate to any language.

I was just thinking the same thing! My husband and I talk about things that happened in our day, other people we know and what is going on with them (not gossip, just news), and things we read or see. Even before he was incarcerated, these people did nothing other than be together and stay very insular. How long can you talk about the Bible?

I know, it makes me so sad. I am a therapist and would LOVE to see what would happen if she were able to get some real help. It would be a long road for an incredibly patient therapist, but she and those kids would benefit so much from someone outside of their world to help them understand and work through these things. There are legitimate Christian counselors out there who would work with them from that perspective. There are also a lot of "Christian Counselors" out there. I would love them to find one of the former types to help them.

This can only last for so long before she completely loses it. I honestly wish her a really good nervous breakdown where she can go somewhere and get the help and deprogramming that she needs. She needs to express some emotion and get some therapy. Let's take her to a Rage Room and then a fancy long term rehab.

The glassess...oh yes. I agree that they shouldn't have ever had him back, even though I am glad to see him and his story. I know they have had other people back who have had violent or out of control reactions but that one was probably one of the scariest things I have seen on TV, you could tell by CTs eyes that he just wasn't there anymore. People have also been banned and never to be seen again for things less violent.

I did not watch the Paris season, but his early Challenge seasons when he was just seething with anger at the world (for some arguably good reasons) didn't curry any favor with me. I remember after the horrible fight with Adam thinking that this guy has a Problem and needs some real help. And now I adore him. His personal growth is so admirable. And I need to give credit where credit is due, Devin was impressive with his memory skills. I liked hearing his story about how he got so good at these mental games. Coming up with that 20 digit number all on his own, on the first try, while physically and mentally exhausted is an impressive feat. I found myself not hating him a lot this season, which surprised me.

I'd love a recent update too. I was shocked she stayed sober, honestly. She seemed so out of it and didn't really care that she was sober. I didn't see that much of a different in her speech patterns, or over all presentation.

He was so unenthusiastic about going to treatment, I had a feeling it wouldn't last. He seemed pretty self aware once he got in the van, saying he was a jerk, and I LOVED the interventionist agreeing with him. I usually have lukewarm feelings about that woman, but that was hilarious. What motivation does he have to get clean? He's got so many enablers in his life and he can't see anything else for himself. I'm sad to say that I don't think he'll be with us much longer.

I knew mom wouldn't get any help. I wonder if there are drugs involved with her too. Her speech was so pressured. I was concerned when it said that he went back to Vegas for the memorial, but I'm glad to see he went back to Arizona. There's nothing for him in Vegas.

I thought their reaction when she "confessed" during the pre-intervention was awfully mild if they really didn't know about it. Could have been editing magic, but I think they knew.

That firefighter from the camps he went to was I think what turned him and helped him the most in going to treatment. I don't even know these people and I got emotional with that letter, way more so than the mom and siblings. Also, I freaking adore Sylvia. I think she gave him the gentle mothering attitude that he needed and was the perfect interventionist for him. I really hope he can be successful.

Can anyone source Brett's Decision Day dress? I have nowhere to wear anything like that, but it was really pretty.

Bao...that was an amazing performance. Looking all touched and even putting her hand on Johnny's leg as he was saying he wanted to see where it goes without the cameras and then turning around and saying she wants a divorce. I loved it. Way to mic drop that cocky ass. Can someone explain Michaela's boots to me? Were they boots? Were the a stiletto with some sort of weird leather leg warmer? I was so confused. That lipstick color was really working for her though. I'm whiter than snow and could never in a million years pull that off but she looked great with it. I loved Brett's dress. I know there has been some things that have come out that she is not quite the innocent one in this relationshiop demise either, but I loved her confidence and her attitude throughout the entire conversation with the experts. Good for you for not taking any shit. I feel like I could be friends with her.

Can I join this club?

My guess would be some sort of disability or social security, but I don't know how much she could possibly make with that.

They left treatment after 4 days. Went back to treatment after a while and then left early again. Currently Jesse is living on the streets again. The chyron said that mom says she is holding her bottom line, but I get the feeling that she won't hold it forever. I really liked Jesse. So much trauma, and had it been handled differently earlier on in his life, things might have been different. This was one of the most likeable addicts this show has profiled. I was really saddened to see the update at the end, I had hope for this one.
