Seems like both parties could have handled themselves better. Belinda thinking this stranger would bankroll her dreams does smack of fantasy. Then again, I don’t think Tanya had any real intention of giving Belinda startup money. She should not have gotten her hopes up, even if she was only being polite.

I think because even though Belinda did want financial support, she really needed somebody to believe in her: to motivate and encourage her enough so that she would create her plans for her own wellness spa. She wanted more than just money, she thought she found a partner who genuinely believed in her talents and who w…

Agree with all of this. But I think Quinn was the only one to actually have an awakening/change out of the group. Now whether that awakening is exploitative or not is up for debate (he was invited, he didn’t force himself into it) but I think in terms of story, he’s meant to be the one person who is now in a “better”…

This is...oddly specific.

I read all of your post, salivating, but then at the end...

I like how you think and now I really want a hollandaise jellybean.

Well then it’s a good thing I typed this out on a Zune, then, isn’t it? I didn’t know any dinosaurs were still around and using the phrase “virtue signaling”, didn’t y’all switch over to “cucked” and “cancel culture”?

my first thought was “this headline is missing a ‘man,’ man.”

Did anyone else think that this headline meant there was going to be a White Russian flavor?

I think there’s a greater conversation to be had about sharing things like this. Why did the homeowner decide she needed to post this online?

Ambrosia missed a golden chance to just reply, “Ma’am, I’m sorry you were Tiggered.”

I guess this snowflake Karen needs a Tigger warning for house flags.

Not me. I saw what unfolded, *boom* almost everyone gone, and now we need to reset and buckle in again for another story restart??! What the what? WOW! My energy level jumped and remained there throughout. I’m glad a few made it past the slaughter but, hell, let’s go in another direction (tone and character). I am…

near-childlike wonder and excitement for an iPad, albeit 10-11 years too late

You put it better than I ever could. Something like Olivia being driven by having secret feelings for her friend would add an extra layer to her and help us understand her better, but wouldn’t necessarily get us to sympathize with her.

I’m very much hoping that the opening scene didn’t imply that she’s the one who dies! And that it does imply that she dumps Shane!

Its about time she got a vehicle of her own

Are we supposed to feel sympathy for them, though? Olivia and Paula both suck, Nicole and Mark are equally if not more awful (only because they’re old enough to not be assholes) - only Quinn seems at all sympathetic in that family and he spends all of his time fapping.

I am loving how specific these characters are - like, yes, they are heightened caricatures in some ways, but never once do they do something that feels like it was shoehorned in just for a laugh/plot device, as you see in weaker shows.

“why did she make that desperate, “cool”-filled pass at Kai?”
