Lakeyn or however the fuck you spell it, her face is incredibly distracting. I finally figured out what it is. She looks like one of those drawings my kids do but come to life. Her eyes, nose, mouth are all a little off in size and or placement. 

Moira can leave. Let someone pick Laurel. Bye to Keirstan too. I thought she said she did want Bennett to pick her in the talk with the girls and then the opposite in her chat with him. Did I hear wrong?

I want Caleb to counsel me through life. 

Not sure what chat you’re referring to, but it was funny last night that Bennett said he chose Laurel to make Kierstan jealous, then it cuts to Kierstan telling the girls she was glad he didn’t pick her. Lol. I do feel kind of bad for Bennett because now he thinks he screwed up and did something wrong. Not saying that trying to make her jealous was a good move, but clearly Kierstan didn’t care by that point so her feigning indignity was a bit much. Like I said previously, I think she’s now acting cool and aloof then blaming it on “not being over Carrington.” But clearly she’s over Carrington. She seems to be Laurel’s best support in there. Bring in a 45-year-old Russian billionaire with a yacht and jet and we’ll see Kierstan’s eyes light up.

She said with the girls 'it made me realize something... that I didn't want him to pick me'.

Stupid me for thinking Bennett chose Laurel as a eff you to Carrington, good guy move, when he was just wanting Kiersten to be jealous. I should have known better.

[mertensia]

The guys doing that stupid scavenger hunt thing with Cely definitely gave off a "this is so utterly stupid I can feel my IQ slipping into the negative digits" vibe.

Layken has an oddly plump face.

Can someone please explain why so many of these women want Carrington? I just do not get it.

There is no HEAT between any of these couples. Just chaste little kisses. WTH?

I wonder if social media and chasing fame and “likes” from strangers has made these people asexual? Pretty soon we’ll have adults who grew up addicted to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, whatever. As they chase the small dopamine hits for online popularity they lose that urge for real life human interaction

I think Faith said he was one of the more warm and welcoming guys at CA. Maybe I’m wrong on that. I imagine if you’re coming into this situation (in your underwear no less) and not sure what to do/expect/feeling nervous and one guy is friendly to you and everyone else is standoffish then you’ll probably gravitate toward the friendly guy. Regardless of why he’s being friendly. 
 

Another thing they’re missing this season, at least it feels like it. They used to do a better job of introducing new people to the villa while sequestering the same sex group. I thought they were going to give Julia and Laekyn time to talk to the guys without the other girls around, but they immediately came down and claimed their men. At least give new people a chance to talk to whoever they want and find out if there’s a shot with certain people. 

[Wandering Snark]

As for the lack of 'heat' with the couples this year, I agree completely. Whenever Justine is kissing Caleb I keep waiting for a director to call out 'CUT!! Okay, now this time at least pretend like you two actually WANT to kiss each other!" I also think all these 'challenges' that have you make out with someone you barely know don't help, they just reinforce the 'kissing means nothing' thing leading to passionless kissing.

Random observation, why does a guy like Carrington have a grim reaper tattoo?? It is also in an odd place on his arm.

Noah didn't even get the "he had to leave for personal reasons" explanation of him not being on the show anymore.    Guess CBS figures most won't even remember him.

I hope Laurel does chat up BSB as Carrington needs to sweat a little bit.

 

I am behind. Why did Noah leave?

I don't think the twitter challenge has ever changed the course of what's happening more than this one--now we have Laurel giving BSB a chance.  That is soooo random!

Wish someone would give Bennie a makeover.  

I'm out of the loop. Is BSB Calvin? What does it stand for. I can barely keep up with the shows let alone the posts here.

They didn’t say. The announcer briefly said that Noah left last night, and he wasn’t mentioned again by anyone. Internet sleuths found his gay porn career, so presumably that’s why the show pulled him when that came out.

Last night was a pretty good episode in terms of action, romance, and heartbreak. Granted, the show’s been a little slow, so my standards are pretty low. The most WTF moment was Calvin pulling out Cely’s underwear as a “clue” and then putting them back in his pocket. Really, Calvin, you’re holding onto those?!

Connor was the worst, but why is this entire cast awful at talking? How did BSB phrase things last night? “Johnny has some words that he’d like to express to you tonight that I’m going to speak now”? Or something awful like that.

I was watching the whole thing on high speed FF but I instantly thought "Oh, how romantic to really speak truth from your heart to the 'girl' you 'love' while reading from your phone." I mean I understand the other guys reading their 'parts' but Johnny could have at least memorized what he was going to say so he wasn't reading from his phone.

Right?! That was a definite WTF when he pulled them out and put them back in his pocket and Cely was laughing and giggling like that was so cute!! I kept thinking I would be like... dude don’t pull out my panties as a meaningful romantic gesture and then keep them in your pocket! So cringe! I would die and be like “hold up, time out, this is adorable but let’s keep my undies and their little trip in the suitcase to Casa Amor and all that went on there out of it. Gimme those back. Ok, continue with the poem” 😬😂🙈

[Jadzia]

There was some talk in the thread earlier about the women's bodies so I am going to make a shallow observation. I noticed that Moira always wears these weird high-waisted leggings and bikini bottoms. I am not sure if she is trying to cover up a gut or if they just have a weird effect of making her look like she has more of a gut than she really does. Something about the clothes she wears are really unflattering and remind me of "mom jeans".

Thank you!  I've been trying to figure out all season why these women are swooning over him.  He's immature, self-centered, arrogant . . .  what's to like?!  😲

[Stan39]

This interview with Mackenzie is up. I don’t have the energy or stomach to watch so I’m hoping someone on here will watch and summarize for us. Lol. 
 

 

[Canadian Girl]

Do you think they'll bring family members in to meet the islanders this season? I'm thinking no because of the pandemic?

He’s good looking. Also, you’re forgetting that these girls are young, so a lot of them might still have that mindset that the more emotionally unavailable the guy is, the more meaningful “our love” is going to be when I’m the one-and-only girl who’s going to break down his barriers and change him. You could see that in the talk between Laurel and Kiersten. Laurel was OBLIVIOUS that Carrington did the EXACT SAME THING to Kiersten WITH her! You’d think that would be enough for them to both realize that this is a pattern with this dude—and, frankly, you’d think Lakeyn would wise up before it inevitably happens to her, too. 
 

But, at least Lakeyn has a “storyline.” I was starting to think the new brunette disappeared under darkness of night like Noah, but they actually had a shot of her brushing her hair, while all the rest of the girls were comforting Laurel (I think it was). That other girl must have no discernible personality and makes Moira seem gregarious in comparison that she’s not engaging with ANYONE whatsoever! I wish I had seen this episode before completing the 30-question poll via the show app yesterday. Moira got most of my negative feedback on the girls’ side, but I would have saved some for Lakeyn, the way she complains how “bored” she is in fro t of people, when she’s not mooning about how strong her connection is-/to the person she’s trying to steal a partner from!

I watched it and Mackenzie is articulate and expresses herself well. It's a good watch/listen.

Main things that stood out to me: 

1. She's an introvert and in her life never hang around with any of her boyfriends in a group setting so she's awkward at it and doesn't quite know what to do with group dynamics. Thus her needing alone time by herself or with only her man. 

2. Johnny's dislike of her: Johnny was miffed that in the baggage challenge she faked him out to kiss Connor instead and since then they weren't on good terms. And when he first came in he had some interest in her. 

3. Carrington is a really good friend and very funny but has a hard time being open with girls romantically.

4. Both Connor and her haven't had many girlfriends or boyfriends and they are both commitment-phobes. So it's kind of a big deal that they will want to be together. 

5. Connor is coming to visit her and meet her family. And Connor is very talkative when they are alone together. 

6. She spoke highly of all the girls.

7. She's on her 2nd boob job (whatever that means) and botox and fillers but her nose is real. 

That's all I can remember off the top of my head. 

ETA: She also thinks once the OG boys came back from the CA to the villa, Jalen started distancing himself from her because he wanted to be in the good books with the boys and Johnny was very against her then.

As a fellow introvert, I am wondering how the heck an introvert would ever go on this show???? I guess to build their brand?

Re Carrington, I have said this before, at least he has a sense of humor!! and seems to know how to have fun.  That may be enough, plus being hot.

I love Elizabeth and Alex, but these interviews go on for too long.  This one was 52 minutes, and I listened to the first 1/4 of it.  There's an old Swedish proverb: "Talk less, say more."

Kierstan made a big deal that Bennett is supposedly her exact physical type, but...... obviously Bennett did something to majorly turn her off, or, as she admits herself, she's just so hung up on Carrington.

Maybe Kierstan wasn't impressed with or didn't want to deal with the aftermath of Bennett's ex.  She certainly did an about-face.

Yes! I thought that too. Ha, whoops. 

I'm not sure what to make of Bennett, but if he did what we thought it would've required a lot of emotional intelligence, which is at odds with going on this show so... that riddle solved. One, to realize that it wouldn't bother Kiersten and two, to realize in that moment that Laurel needed a boost and Carrington was kind of an ass for picking The Lady at the Inn.

I really dislike Carrington, if it wasn't obvious from my posts. But I'll give him props that he actually memorized the words Johnny gave him to read.

And especially because it was Calvin who looks so young, I was getting Sixteen Candles  Anthony Michael Hall vibes... Like he was going to go home and tell his friends he "bagged a babe". 

[Ms Blue Jay]

I never liked Johnny's attitude towards Mack and it seems even worse now.  He was WAYYYYY too invested.  Now I think it's a weird personal thing that actually has nothing to do with protectiveness over Connor.

I've been in those situations where a bunch of women were all interested in the same guy even with a lot of guys to pick from.  There's just always something ABOUT him that is hard to explain to the outside world.  From reading everyone's posts I bet Connor has a certain way of talking to women that young insecure women must eat up with a spoon.

Carrington not only memorized the words but had hand gestures to go along with it - a heart hands and fluttery bird flying. I couldn't stop laughing. I can see why he's a hot commodity. He's very good looking, nice body, nice smile, great sense of humor when it occasionally comes out. Mind you, I'd have no interest in him as an adult, but were I in my early 20s I can see the sort of "bad boy" appeal.

O could be recalling wrong, but didn't Carrington say weeks back that he didn't want a party girl? And now Lakyn? A self proclaimed party girl.  I hope but doubt he picks Laural tonight

The hand motions in his story telling had me lol’ing with the heart and the bird fluttering. He is silly fun and has made me laugh a few times with his personality coming out. He seems accurately described as “deep as a puddle,” yet his silliness makes him seem fun to be around.

[CindyBee]

Since the Bachelor/ette hasn't aired for awhile, Reality Steve has been watching Love Island and his guest for the week is Tre.   

Surprise, surprise, he was cast off of Instagram.  

I'm only half way through so if anything else of interest is said by Tre, I'll post.

[CindyBee]

Can't believe this is the last recoupling of the season.  And Moira made it to the end!

Anyway, Tre's interview with Reality Steve was okay.  No big shock that he thinks Johnny is playing to win and he told RS that Johnny had been joking around about keeping all the money to himself.    He sorta said he was sorry for the tweets that he did in high school about only wanting to date non-blacks.   I think he was kinda shocked that people actually looked that far back into his past!  Someone needs to tell him internet sleuths will find everything.  Noah sure found that out.

Zoned out when they started talking about Ohio State football.

[Stan39]

Missed everything except the recoupling but sounds like I didn’t miss anything.  All I could think while hearing Carrington’s speech was, “What girl would be happy with THAT speech?” Apparently, Laurel. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she probably wasn’t paying attention until she heard her name. 
 

Still don’t buy Kierstan’s “she went big”. I think she got over Carrington pretty quickly but then just used it as an excuse to not try. 
 

Guess I’m done now. Believe it or not but these shows get even more boring once all the couples are set. 

[JenE4]

I’m really surprised that Carrington chose Laurel—and even more surprised that Laurel accepted instead of telling him off! So, they’re back to being a “happy couple” now? Of course Lakeyn is still there, so I’m sure she’ll still go after Carrington. Sad to see Kiersten go, but she managed to be on TV every night for more than a month and is still leaving with her dignity and, I’m assuming, fan support, so good for her.

The spy shenanigans or whatever they called it was pretty cute. But just like “brunch” consists of a cup of granola and one muffin to share and whatever fruit they have laying around, an “Ice cream social” consisted of ice pops! Not even like ice cream popsicles, but the sugar water popsicles! Come on! You have these poor people sweltering on a roof top in a desert for more than a month, and you can’t even spring for a couple of tubs of ice cream and some whipped cream and chocolate sauce?! I think I’m more indignant about this goddamned ice cream social than I’ve been over any “cheating” or recoupling or even Mackenzie gaslighting Connor.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Music tonight:

Big Girls Don't Cry:  Fergie
Power Over Me:  Dermot Kennedy
Surprise Yourself:  Jack Garratt

The "Ice cream" social - what the fuck was that?  Was it just popsicles and freezies?  THAT'S TERRIBLE.

Carrington's reaction to Lakeynn's cuddle.  "I mean I'm about it, but".  LOL hahahahahhahahaa.  

Calvin getting a bunch of water spilled on him was super hot.

Narrator:  "Bennet is curious if she'll take a LAKEYN to him."  HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

To me, Lakeyn is the equivalent of sleeping pills as a person.  Even more boring than Moira.

Bennett :  Says something
Lakeyn: Awwwwwwwwwww
Bennett :  Says something
Lakeyn: Awwwwwwwwwww
Bennett :  Says something

I agree with your entire post and I swear I hadn't even read it before I posted.

So Justine and Caleb are winning, right?

Lake never says anything. Tonight she reminded me of Mr. Potato Head. I assume Bennett picked her so there's still potential drama. 

I'm laughing so hard that Julia got zero acknowledgement during the goodbyes. Not even from the vapid Lake. 

[keke23]

I loved when the narrator said something to the effect of Laurel finding the person with the most hot air to blow up the floatie, and here comes lil Johnny.

[Wandering Snark]

We were shown Carrington and Bennett having that convo about who he's interested in possibly picking. He had one name in mind. So when it comes to it he picks Laythereandactpretty... so that she can stay in the Villa. Leaving Carrington free to continue to 'explore' AND not look like the bad guy when he picks Laurel. Yeah that was definitely planned by the two of them and I call shenanigans. Carrington was just buying time, with a little help from a bro. It changes nothing.

Poor Laurel. Though "If he'll just pick me all is forgiven!" was NOT the right answer! Hate to say it but she kind of deserves what she gets at this point.

Also I'm just glad that Kiersten didn't pop an implant wearing that top.

Yes, yes, YES!  Once again, it was so contrived.  This way Carrington can have his cake and eat it too, as usual.

Is the show winner based on viewer votes through the app or the former contestants voting on which couple they think is most deserving? If it’s within the house, I think the others would vote Cely and Johnny. If it’s viewer’s choice, I’m assuming Twitter/Reddit users are more likely to download the app than Facebook/Instagram users, just because the apps skew younger and more technically savvy. (Says a 46 year old woman who only uses Facebook and is voting for Caleb and Justine, lol.) I think the winner of the Hideway will clue us in on where the viewers are at. Also, I’m assuming the contestants will soon hear the results on yesterday’s big poll?

The winner is picked by the audience, not the other couples like Big Brother.  And since this is governed by FCC prize rules, no matter how much CBS wants No Neck Johnny & Cely to win, if more people download the app and vote for Justine/Caleb, then they will get the cash.

From what I read online last night, the contestants would have found out about 11pm PST who would be heading to the hideaway.   So if that is indeed Justine/Caleb,  could be fun to see how Cely & No Neck react.

I thought Julia seemed pretty nice.  I am sorry she didn't get a chance.   She seemed okay with it, though.  Probably saw the writing on the wall and thought it best to just get the hell out of dodge.

Lakeyn is getting a negative edit, but she also seems kind of terrible, so it's fine. When she and Carrington talk to each other, they're so disdainful of everyone else. Even the way Carrington says that Laurel is sweet comes off sounding like a slam. Lakeyn is also a mush mouth. I can only understand about half of what she says. And she looks like Janice the Muppet. But it looks like she yells at Carrington tonight, so I might end up on her side.

Dang, Julia almost got the Noah edit. At least they let her say something at the end, but what a waste of time that whole thing was for her.

The girls pranking the guys was cute, and Calvin's face when Johnny was blowing up the floatie was so funny.

waaat is happening here?

All my favorite pairings are the BFFs: Kierstan and Laurel, Caleb and Calvin, Justine and Cely. The actual couples are a lot less interesting.

Yes, especially Kierstan and Laurel.  I am sorry to see Kierstan go.  Laurel will probably miss her more  than she'll miss Carrington once she leaves the villa.

Caleb and Calvin are by far my favourite pairing of what you mentioned, but honestly Calvin doesn't even need to be there.  He doesn't do much.

I find Cely pretty annoying.  Her whole personality seems to be "annoying".  I would have murdered her if she felt the need to wake me up.  Day 1.  I love Justine though.

Kierstan and Laurel mehhhhhhhh.  Laurel is way too self involved and naive for me.  And Kierstan, what the hell is she doing?  She should spend more time comforting herself than comforting Laurel!
