S05.E08: Week 5: Part 1

[Amy Beth]

Eric is being a big jerk. However, “all in” is not a relationship status.

[Armchair Critic]

Angela be glad you dodged a bullet, let Eric go if he wants to be a player

[CindyBee]

Eric's whole online persona is this good guy, motivational speaker so this gaslighting of Angela is NOT a good look for him

[Ms Blue Jay]

I'm really, really respecting Cassandra right now. Of course, there are 45 hours left in this episode, so who knows what will happen next?  Also respecting Angela for being forthright and not getting upset with her the way others might have.

[marynotjane]

I think they're all auditioning. All the time. The camera does that.

[Caseysgirl]

 When Eric says “all in” he means he wants to get laid and not wait any longer.

[atlanticslide]

So Colton is either working hard for the Bachelor nod, or he's asexual and hasn't realized it yet. It's either one or the other.

[Ms Blue Jay]

"All in"... your guts tonight.... Hahhahahahahahah sorry!

Maybe Colton just doesn't like Tia?  LOL.  I find that extremely believable so I don't get what the big shock is.

Eric at once said they didn’t establish they were “all in” and simultaneously turned it around that HE’S “all in” but she’s not “all in” so now he’s “halfway in(??)” keeping his options open with Cassandra. But then Angela runs to Cassandra and tells her she and Eric are “all in.” Except didn’t he just say he’s no longer “all in”? I followed the cheese analogy better than this “all in” logic.

"But Eric, what changed in eight hours?"

"Well, you had the rose last night, and I wanted to make sure I stayed.  When I woke up, it was my week to have the rose. That's what changed."

Eric: Well, Angela wants to take it slow.

My translation: Angela did not want to put out. Maybe I'll have better luck with Cassandra.

 

ETA: Caseysgirl, I just saw your post. Great minds think alike. :-)

I'm fangirling over Cassandra right now and I don't want her to ruin it.

[Jax7917]

Wow that all in expression has been beaten to death because of this show . I think Angela is the prettiest girl on the show this season .. Eric just seems like a typical skeezy guy that calls women " his queen " to get in their pants . Anyone who says that expression and over compliments a person gets side eye from me . 

[leighdear]

Liar, Liar pants on fire!!!  Eric, you are BUSTED! 

[CindyBee]

Did Eric hang out too much with Leo when he was there?! 

Damn he's ruining his good guy edit big time.   Another one that should have never picked up the phone to come to paradise

[Armchair Critic]

"She (Angela) took it out of context"... keep spinning Eric

[dizzyd]

I don't remember Cassandra at all but I really like her here.

[CindyBee]

Cassandra for Bachelorette!   She did such a great job putting Eric in his place

[Amy Beth]

Good for Cassandra. But if Angela accepts a rose from Eric, I will be as annoyed with her as with him.

[ECM1231]

What gibberish is Eric spouting? He is way more in than Angela? Her all in is tiny compared to his? Complete with hand gestures. So he thinks it was a good idea to have a date with Cassndra? Maybe Angela would not do the horizontal mambo and Eric was getting antsy?  

[leighdear]

Very sweetly done, Cassandra!  No bridges burned and more importantly, no panties around your ankles while Eric once again explains how "all in" he is....*LOL*

[Caseysgirl]

Cassandra has really got my attention for not falling for the bullshit that Eric was giving her just because he has a rose. However, there’s still another 2 hours for her to disappoint me.

[JenE4]

Astrid and Kevin are falling in love. He asks her if she wants to go to bed and asks if they can eat ice cream...presumably in the same bed?? Where are all the night-vision cameras and the zooming up to windows with over-dubbing train whistles and baboons in heat?!?

Edited September 4, 2018 by JenE4
Because Annaliese and Astrid are two different people, apparently

[ECM1231]

Scallop fingers!!

[Armchair Critic]

Scallop Fingers... I have a feeling she is going to bomb again. She was on The Proposal too and didn't get chosen.

[JenE4]

Scallop fingers is back!!!

[leighdear]

Kristen looks like a random Kardashian.

[Ms Blue Jay]

If I had to guess I would say that Christen has had a LOT of work done

[TiredMe]

I would not show my face on television again if someone named me Scallop fingers. Why is she here? 

Edited September 4, 2018 by TiredMe

[Armchair Critic]

I am already cringing for Scallop Fingers. They set her up to fail bringing her in so late in the game when there are already more women than men.

Well she was F2 on The Proposal. Wasn't she also a virgin on whichever season of TB she was on? Maybe she ought to apply for Colton's season.

[Ms Blue Jay]

I think Christen is half Asian like John is.  I wanted to like her , but it wasn't meant to be I guess.

I liked her on BIP last year. She was a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the Mean Girls. And she's probably there because she was asked 1. she likes the money 2. and the tv face time 3. and it's a free if somewhat sweaty vacation 4.

[Armchair Critic]

Annaliese is going to lose another man

Isn’t she “scallop fingers” just because all the other girls were clicky mean girls? I seem to remember Amanda laughing about her behind her back like an asshole. She kind of deserves a redemption arc but doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen :(

[Ms Blue Jay]

I love how Annalise talks like she had all the choices in the world but decided on (Kamil?) because she just loves him so much.  I've met some delusional women but she bakes the cake and then takes it

[CindyBee]

Watching Annaleise meltdown over a relationship that is 2 days old is a train wreck I can't look away from.

[ECM1231]

Did Shushanah just say she was Armenian? I thought she was Russian.

[Armchair Critic]

Jordan is being nice to Annaliese, I think he has been trolling us with his idiot act.

And the best part is that it happens EVERY episode! It’s like BIP’s version of “What you talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?”

Yes to all that.

[Ms Blue Jay]

I'm glad Christen found someone to say yes, at least.   Small steps.  John is every nerd in high school who makes it to college and finally meets women who dig a smart guy.  

Oh my god, I used to like (Wade? Wes) so much back in the day.  He's dating the Modern Family woman and he thinks he's hot shit and unfortunately they told him to tell the Scallop Story. Poor Christen.

Edited:  His name is Wells I think

[Mu Shu]

If i hear I’m all in or I’m in my head one more fucking time. 

[dizzyd]

Wow Kamil! Now that's how it's done, Eric!

Didnt Annalise feel so strongly about someone else a couple episodes back? I've already forgotten who.

Eta: autocorrect made Annalise into Anal lice ?

Edited September 4, 2018 by dizzyd

[leighdear]

Oh, Analiese is lying!  She's been listening to Eric too much!

Of COURSE John is going on a date with Kristen.  

[Armchair Critic]

John is quirky too, maybe he and Christen will be a good match? Although John seems to have become a bit of a player this season. Oh shut up Wells you gossip queen.

I think Tia  is as well. It boggled my mind that she just could not fathom that Colton shouldn't be crazy about her just b/c she was crazy about him.

[Ms Blue Jay]

You guys told me they film this season is like 9-10 days right?  And yet Annalise is saying it's been so long since she's had feelings for someone.  My god, she is so funny.

So this season, the Mean Girls will attack Shu for being a witch, I guess?

A big YES to this. I can't stand Wells, he's the worst Mean Girl of all of them. Plus that person's shoulder DID NOT smell "like scallops."

[CindyBee]

Analiese's delusion/desperation would make for a great psychology paper
