S9.E2: The Steaks Are High

[ZettaK]

A whole season of two not-awkward awkward broken relationships? 🤯😵‍💫 🙄

West to me looks like if Robin Williams and Phil Collins had a baby.  

Jesse Soloman is such a goofball.  I just can't take him seriously.  Watch out Lexi.  He seems like the hit it and quit it type to me.  Sort of like West. 

I'm actually liking the pregnant Lindsay.  Maybe because I'm always soft on pregnant women.  I was one 4 times. 😊

Paige is really telegraphing her desire to be single.  Her comments about not being the same person she was when she and Craig started their relationship and how Lindsay's being pregnant makes her know she doesn't want to be says a lot to me. She was already ready to split with Craig at that point if you ask me.

Omg, I totally thought of Robin Williams when he was sitting at the dinner, and especially in his interviews. If I was talking to someone I was involved with and he kept eating, I’d be FURIOUS. Show SOME emotion for goodness sake!

I  think Lindsay's  pregnancy  hormones  are helping her feel more caring, I just want Carl to have a really good summer. I was tired of him walking  on eggshells  last summer. BTW,  If he does get friendly  with another  girl, I don't  see Lindsay's  hormones helping her then. 

Carl , I looked at those steaks and the Flintstones tune ran through  my head..good heavens..lol.

I loved seeing  Craig, but he has no idea what's going  on with Paige. I still think Ciara is beautiful,  but is she over West.?  That's really  awkward. 

Lexi reminds me of some of the girls on the bachelor, like, after every word like.

I really don't like West. He's one of those people who presents himself as a good guy when he's really an asshole. I'd much rather deal with an self aware fu^kboi like Jessi, who doesn't pretend to be deep. Plus, West is nowhere near attractive enough to be that douchy, put the puffy man nipples away please. 

Kyle & Amanda seem much lighter this Summer. Happy the therapy & drugs are working. Amanda looks so much healthier. Her swimwear line just launched too https://www.southmoonunder.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorNotMulWI1fCI_rlzYTBvmZ-fv8-FUXKmCUZXPlbm-mEtICI8E

Eh, I don't see it. The catty comments to Gabby about Carl's teeth & her confessional complaining about him showed otherwise. Lindsey is always happiest when she feels like she's the queen bee so she was just riding the high from all the extra attention her pregnancy announcement brought.

Kyle eavesdropping is why I don’t want him to ever leave and Lindsay calling Kyle out for eavesdropping is why I don’t want her to ever leave.

And Carl is really looking like he’s about to pull up in a horse drawn buggy wearing a straw hat, white shirt, blank pants and suspenders.

I half expect him to be on my box of oats.

Duh on me, I thought  that was Gabby talking  about his teeth,not Lindsay. I take back what I posted.

Thank you, I thought  it was her.

I watched this show at the very start.  I fell off before the Wirkuses did, but I recall that my impression of Carl was that he was a reasonably normal guy with many family responsibilities and my solid impression of Lindsay was that she was a card carrying psychopath.

I dipped back when I heard that these two unlikely folks had agreed to marry but wouldn't.  (Ok)

of course, he was nervous and she wasn't .  She is totally nuts.

[ZettaK]

I wonder if Lexi likes Jessi because it's her chance for becoming a permanent cast member. She can't like him that much, that fast. She does appear to be ditzy. 

Lindsay and Carl: that was awkward. 

Ciara and West: that was awkward too, but they had to have a conversation.

I'm rethinking my opinion on West.

I used to think that his quiet, fumbling was just weaponized incompetence.

Now I think he just might be an idiot.
