[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

Chance makes a shocking confession; Tayler's discovery leads to an explosive blowup; Derek is torn between Monique and his sisters; Shawn tries to heat things up, but Sara keeps a secret; Blaine's past jeopardizes his future with Lindsey.

Chance's story seems too convenient.  While I'm no fan of his at all, and he clearly sucks with money, that's too many pins lined up neatly not to call out shenanigans. 

[renatae]

Mike's friend is mighty possessive. He wants the ring off? Weird...he's a real case of arrested development.

Mike has a real surprise for his sister. After driving several hours and barely getting in the door, he thinks she will have fun looking for an engagement ring for his love.

RayTel, or whatever her name is, has a blast burning Chance's most valuable possessions, including his hangers. How will he live without them?

She was burning plastic hangers and about a dozen bottles of supplements(???) in their plastic bottles—then breathing in the fumes while pregnant! Ma’am, this poor baby is already going to have challenges what with Chance’s genetics, let’s step back from the toxic fumes.

So, did I hear correctly that TayLER QUIT HER JOB?  I mean, we knew about stupid Justine quitting hers, but I (foolishly) thought TayLER was more cautious than that. She really deserves whatever happens to her (but not her kids 😢).

Sue me, I really like Blaine and Lindsay.

I sure hope Chance doesn’t use an aerosol deodorant.  I think people have been killed burning trash that included aerosol cans.

A guy named Chance with a gambling problem.  Who writes this stuff?

Did Cameron call a pelican a stork?

Shawn’s hot tub looked like an oversized kiddie pool.  I wonder if he was smart enough to use a hose or carried endless pitchers of water over.

Sara is too tired to have sex but was mortally offended when Shawn was not in the mood for the sex swing.  

Nice to have a break from Puppy and Amber but as punishment we get those Vegas morons who will do or say anything to get a paycheck next week.

I think he is technically Mike's promoter/rep and thinks that Mike will be more popular as a rapper if he isn't obviously attached.

Fairly certain most of the so-called lawyers we have seen on this show would take that case.

I covet Lindsay's hair. It's gorgeous and she hasn't bleached or colored it until it reaches a straw-like texture. I think that Blaine and Lindsay just sort of work. They kind of bring out the best in each other? And I almost thought I heard a little insight from Lindsay when she talked us through her trajectory through the drug life.

The answer to "is Shawn smart enough" is always going to be "no." Did he buy that thing and is he planning to leave it permanently in the living room?

If they are renting it might not even be permitted.  I know when waterbeds were a thing they weren’t allowed in many rentals.

[Drogo]

I don’t know about all y’all but when I have a bunch of babies/toddlers around I personally love to put a huge drowning hazard sex vat in the living room.

Do you work in marketing, Drogo?

Does that make Sara a Sex Vat Woman?

In addition to possible water damage from leaks, etc., waterbeds and hot tubs weigh a lot. The floor might not be able to handle the weight.

[Jeanne222]

Oh who cares about permits and landlords when you have a rubber hot tub in your living room with rose petals, champagne and a camera man!

Lordy. Where did the little girl go during this love fest?  Was she allowed to watch?  Kids are curious little buggers. 

Note to show;  please get Shawn to a tanning bed before he’s shown semi naked again. Uggg. 
 

So Mike’s a rapper. Who knew. He seems to always have $$$. Where’s it coming from if he’s not rapping in PA?

Seven kids and another on the way…have mercy. 

Chance has a million stories in the Naked City and now casinos are one of them!

 I forget his name but the one talking to his wife’s friend on the beach.  Is he selling naked pictures on the net?  Who’d pay to see more of that???

All that hot tub needs is the blow up engagement ring from last season…

[Uncle JUICE]

The hot tub was the absolute unquestioned star of this episode. Once I saw it, I didn't want to see anyone else for the rest of the episode. The whole episode should have been dedicated to this simpleton and his bumbling with this insane prop. I want to see him thinking of this idea. THen realizing he can't get an actual hot tub. Then picking out this weird contraption. Then his struggle setting it up, which DEFINITELY started with pitchers of water, then a bucket, then finally a hose, then realizing it would never get warm enough before filming, then having to film in it anyway, and THEN him both trying to empty it (because you know that shit was a disaster), and him trying to return it, AND I want to see him talking to the contractor who has to fix the floor and water damage ceiling in the basement and explaining the whole thing. 

Tell me that's not a better episode than anything featuring Monique or that tiny Tampa rapper or some nonsense that Chance is somehow now a gambler with such a problem.

I would watch that.  It would be more fun than watching that pitiful 'bonfire' that Tayler made to burn toxic plastic hangers etc in her backyard.  It's like her heart wasn't really in it at all and she didn't want to make too much of an impact.

As for the hot tub, and I apologize if this offends anyone, but does anyone else think that the red roses, rose petal trail, red and pink valentine-y crap just comes off kind of tacky at this point?  Honestly if I was with a man who used those things to romance me I'd have serious questions about his taste level. For me it would have the opposite effect and just kill the mood entirely. It is definitely a romantic theme with this show though. We've seen it again and again. But then again we are watching people who think sex swings and blow up living room hot tubs are sexy stuff so...I guess consider the source. It seems like a Sharp thing at this point.

ETA:  Red roses alone are cool, it's the rest of it in addition that kills it for me. Like those Poconos honeymoon suites with the fiberglass heart shaped tubs in the bedrooms. Just, no.

Ahem. 

Sir or madame, they were champagne glass shaped fiber glass tubs, at (sing it now) beautiful mount airy lodge...please!

Also eta that ypu forgot the detail that the sex swing was supposedly installed by her mom. If THAT doesn't get the old sausage plumping, not sure what will!

also spot on about the rose petals. As a man I'd never do that because someone has to clean all that up.

Shawn happily went from Kelly to Destineeee to Sara.  Is his taste level still being questioned?

To be fair her mom does resemble a construction worker.

You gotta hand it to the Primetimer gang for single-handedly solving the the sex accoutrement disparity putting a wedge in Sarah and Shawn’s marriage. You need to take the high-balancing act of Sarah’s sex swings and meld it with Sean’s hot, bubbling water and get yourself a genuine Mt Airy Lodge champagne glass hot tub! Genius! Guys, we could be sex therapists.

Oh, it’s tacky as hell. That’s why you need all those smiley face balloons to really class it up and get those juices flowing!

Honestly I question their taste levels even more than I question Shawn's. Except maybe Destinee as she was looking for a mark and Shawn was a good one. Kelly and Sara appear to genuinely like Shawn.

Thanks so much, because now I can't get a fictional sex tape with these two hapless morons out of my brain. First of all, no way he has the coordination to figure out the sex swing without hurting both himself and whatever this woman's name is. And you're wrong about the bolded. That water was like soup made an hour and a half ago and left on the stove, and probably smelled like BO when he got out of the tub. So gross!!!

Shawn works long days commando in that Midas jumpsuit so things get kinda musky.
