Reza blew $500K on his hair products (without telling Adam first; I'd have divorced him for that), so we know that's half a million less for the house and baby fund. Whatever happened to the hair product line? And the house really, really could have used that money.

Mike can be a cheater all he wants, but Paulina has kids, and that makes it doubly awkward. He should have thought about becoming entangled with them before doing their mother dirty. Destiney looks like she got a lot of work done, but not as much as Leila! Baby Shams is cute. Tommy is still a boor.

Raquel and Muppetface James are engaged.

God, this season is boring. I struggle to stay awake each episode, yet I keep watching. Why? Why? Why do I do this to myself?

Season 9 is in production (with the tidbit that apparently Scheana is in labor).

Sausage's self-righteousness got under my skin because he's a hypocrite. That whole "man of faith" thing? He must enjoy ignoring Leviticus 19:28: don't tattoo yourselves.

Hooray! I can't wait to see all these shady fuckers on my screen again.

Warm bread is the best, really. A good fresh roll is better than dessert for me. Fresh bread and butter won The Snacket this year.

I'm sure Georgia's happy.

Straight from here, the next season will be based in Las Vegas.

Rarely have I been so glad to see the back of some guests. Barrie is a terrible person. I was pretty much done with him after he threatened to send one of the twins to fat camp last episode. I'm having trouble staying awake this season, and last night was particularly boring. I couldn't care a whit about any of these crew members.

With Barrie around, no one else gets to do any talking. I feel terrible for them.

My dad and I are Zoom-watching this weekly, and it is driving him nuts (and driving me equally nuts that he keeps bringing it up!) that both Henry Thomas and Timothy Hutton are playing the dads, rather than Henry Thomas being aged up. Does anyone know why the producers chose to have two different actors for the role? Maybe if I give him an answer, he'll stop talking about it 😄

I was over Gary as a fuckboy during the first episode, and I was over him once he talked about "Oooh, Daisy's so tough!" No. Daisy isn't "like, really a tough one." She was asking you not to make more work for her and her team by using spaces that had already been cleaned. You can respect that and not be a misogynistic jerk about it.

I predict that they'll get tired of each other quickly enough, but the booze will prolong the sexual interest for a while.

I agree! Picard is being given an out from his unfortunate sleeping problems, so why not take it? What's worse: not sleeping at all every night, or bunking with the captain, who seems like a decent guy? Picard seems like an idiot.

This episode upset me a lot, between the open casket and the kittens. Uncle! Uncle!! I haven't even noticed the blue contacts because it's always so dark all of the time 😆

You can preorder Bugsy's book, The Art of Tablescaping (to be released in May 2021)!

Her lack of self-awareness is astounding. She could have handled this so much more gracefully and rebounded like a professional, but... nope.

Captain Lee and Eddie were the highlight of this season. The only new person I'd like to see return is Izzy. She is a delight to watch and a capable rockstar. I think the reunion will be snarktastic.

And verifies Eddie's good choice in choosing her to be lead deckhand.

The boys threatened to report being cut off to their parents. Do we know if they actually did? Any sensible parents (ie, not these chucklefucks) would have sided at once with Aisling and thanked her for looking after the boys.

The best part of the whole episode for me was knowing that Elizabeth has James saved into her phone as Eggplant Parmesan. An eagle-eyed tweeter managed to get a picture of it, if you missed it. That explains a lot about both Elizabeth and James, if you ask me.
