Didn’t the movie clearly acknowledge the weight of both of them fully on it put it underwater? I was sure it did. When Jack is in the water hanging on it he’s putting a small fraction of his weight on it.

but what do you eat then

After listening to the Season 1 follow ups this week, I kinda feel like this woman, Asia McClain, is the perfect witness, completely unflappable, and not biased in one way or the other.

She confuses me. The only movie I’ve seen (all the way through) with her in it was American Hustle. Everyone kept telling how great she was in that, and I just felt like I was taking crazy pills...

Actually, the overwhelmingly positive response to that movie still has me baffled. I’m starting to wonder if I walked into…

I would LOVE an Eli spin-off and his daughter, Marissa, needs to be the second lead. Also, Jackie needs to show up here and there just to piss him off. Eli flummoxed by Jackie is always hilarious.

I could watch 44 minutes of him sputtering indignantly.

“This is me, Candy Carson, and some chick I used to work with”

Clearly we’re living in a post-racial America

I mentioned it up thread, she reminds me of Kelsey Poe in her motivations and delusions of “fate” and love.

The door was a metaphor for their relationship, guys! Rose was always going to be able to go places that Jack couldn’t follow. They were trapped in two different worlds! Also doors have handles and Rose couldn’t have handled the judgment of society had she chosen him. Also doors are made of wood and while the sex was…

Ben is very insecure. He needs reassurance from these girls so much. Kind of offputting, tbh.

What I found really frustrating was that I think she was trying to say she didn’t want to hold his hand because she knows how hurt she is when someone does that in front of her and was trying to be mindful of other girls’ feelings. And then he made it entirely about his own fragile feelings. Plus he’s so damn naive. I…

last night when he finally pulled her aside and then pouted "Jubilee, I just tried to hold your hand and you pulled it away, how is that supposed to make me feel??”, my boyfriend was like “uhhh, dude, you don't own these women!!!” at the tv. #keeper

Yep- this is exactly what my bf said last night. She was very uncomfortable in a very-uncomfortable-by-nature situation, which makes her a human. A beautiful, smart, genuine human who served our country and is a veteran at the age of 24. She will end up with someone with way more to offer her than 48 conversations…

I think Caila is insane.

It’s so funny, because from the jump I would’ve guessed that jubilee’s adoptive parents were white. Just because of that crippling insecurity around white women. IME, white people when they adopt these black kids especially black girls, are so well meaning and think that love is enough. And they don’t understand the…

This might just be projecting, since these shows are so heavily edited, but I got the sense that Ben really, REALLY likes Lauren B. He also seems to need a lot of reassurance and validation, and he doesn’t want to feel hesitation from his dates. (When the other girls were praising his handling of various situations,…

I was honestly hoping that Jubilee would not be the next Bachelorette. Not only is she too good for Ben, she is way too good for this entire franchise. There are real, non-reality tv types out there that would love to have someone as amazing as her in their life. If she stays away from this tv nonsense, I believe she…

I loved Jubilee, she seemed like the most actually sincere person of the cast and the most real. I don’t like how the women seemed to have ganged up on her because of this. Ben is too stupid to appreciate someone with her qualities. She deserves much better than Ben could ever provide.

I want Kris to get two granddaughters from them that look just like Chyna.
