‘Jesse’s girl’ or girlie, does seem like a ditz, when she tells him it’s ‘so crazy’ that there’s a bug in her drink “but I’m stilllll drinking it!” He mocks her.
So again he’s on brand for what he actually seems to go for, not what he wishes he went for. Remember when he asked Lexi if she thought she was ditzy?
Since Amanda is hooking up with West, I guess Ben gives up on swooping in, so he’s decided to get back with this chick he was with prior to filming.
He’s bringing her up again and thinking of inviting her
So this conversation with Amanda and Ciara is interesting, and I have to admit I didn’t clock this myself.
Before I get into that, I chuckled at Ciara trying to convey Kyle’s business troubles to the Lindsay and Mia. She couldn’t be more out of her element.
But she tries. Just say he’s really in the hole. She tries to repeat what she heard all the guys saying earlier, and they didn’t even know what they were talking about either.
“He’s personally on the line for like three millionnnnndollarrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.”
Well yeah that’s how that works when you take out loans in your name and can’t pay them. She pulls ‘3 mill’ out of her ass. That was never said. Ben said ‘millions.’
I think it’s actually two. None of these people are very smart.
A lot of viewers who apparently have more time on their hands are rewatching the episodes, and catching a lot of telltale intricate comments and expressions, since it really does seem like Amanda and West had been in some sort of relationship behind Kyle’s back during filming.
If ‘relationship’ is what you want to call banging your husband’s friend. I’m not even getting into the Ciara of it all, because 1, I don’t even think she and Amanda are actual friends, and 2, they were not together and haven’t been for some time.
When Ciara addresses Amanda to discuss Kyle’s business issues, (which she should definitely be aware of, but she’s not) Amanda looks deer in headlights and quite panicked. She even says “you’re making me nervous” since Lindsay asks her if she knows what they found out today. I swear to God she thought Ciara found out about West.
Why do they keep saying he’s ‘personally’ responsible. We don’t need the ‘personally.’ It’s HIS fucking company. Who else would be responsible?
He doesn’t even have partners I don’t think.
Amanda in her yap sounding oblivious as usual. She thinks because he ‘went to business school’ that means he’s not capable of making bad decisions, such as taking out at 2 million dollar loan when Loverboy was already in trouble.
Ciara reminds her that lashing out and name calling is inexcusable. It’s kind of insane they’re well into the next day and he hasn’t said anything to her about it.
Well, that sounds great on paper, but one problem: She was fucking ‘one of the guys.’ Don’t think the side piece is going to say ‘hey go hang with your husband.’
Ciara suggests to Amanda a break or trial separation.
Be careful what you wish for.
As that is happening, West confronts Kyle to defend his girlfriend’s honor. He asks him if he recalls anything.
I think it’s funny how Kyle tells him that he doesn’t know what triggered him, yet told Carl the next morning he did know, so that’s kind of a cue that he was pissed that Amanda was practically sitting on West’s lap. I think this would have been a good opportunity to address that with West, but he decides not to.
Kyle promises the guys he will apologize and not make excuses.
But in his yap, wah wah wah, he wishes that they would have suggested to her that she stop flirting with them, and pay attention to her husband.
Schwartz, I mean Jesse, is part of this conversation as well.
Kyle admits that he gets frustrated when she likes to have fun with other people (guys) and not with him.
I did catch this look on West’s face when Kyle said that. Looks a little sketchy. Looks a little guilty.

The commoners get sent home at 9pm. Jesse dismisses the ditzy chick, who you know has NO history of being into ditzy chicks. According to him.
Ciara loves so much kicking them out. It makes her feel important.
Jesse brags to Amanda on her boyfriend’s behalf, how he let Kyle have it in her defense.
Amanda lovingly takes Kyle’s old man makeup off for him. Her boyfriend goes with the guys. Kyle stays behind.
He starts drunkenly mumbling to her about how much he wishes she would pay attention to him. He says the same fucking shit year after year.
I hate that I feel sorry for him. I think in their real life, she does resent him and therefore is a bitch to him. I kind of also think they haven’t had sex in like three years.
As I said before they are in a vicious cycle of tit for tat.
‘I’m an ass because you don’t pay attention to me’ and ‘I don’t pay attention to you because you’re an ass’ (and a DJ.)
Sounds very familiar.
You know the married guys that are getting laid? The ones that treat their wives with respect.
He does apologize, and Amanda, instead of accepting it decides to grill him on what took so long.
This is the man you married. Just like he should accept you for the way you are. A depressed boring introvert.

Dara and KJ are so cute! I love that she loves to cook and is mad he doesn’t salt nor season his eggs. Who doesn’t salt fucking eggs?? Jesus, they have like zero taste.
Lindsay announces at breakfast she’s having ‘a housewarming.’ Should you have a housewarming when you’re renting an apartment? It’s called HOUSEwarming. I kind of think no, but I guess that’s nit picking.
Ben announces he’s bringing this chick he now has decided he likes since Amanda is fucking West. I could be wrong about that but I think I’m not.
I think it’s super cool how Ciara purchased her grandparents’ house. Her grandfather built it? Shut up! This is a big deal! I pick on Ciara for being kind of dumb, but this was very smart. Who gave her this idea? Just kidding.
I had a house like that in my family, but sadly, yeah long story. (‘The Crick’)
Ciara is proud of herself for paying taxes.
The millennial generation are just very different people. No offense. I just never thought to point out that I pay taxes.
Ben really wants to bring this Sabrina to Lindsay’s ‘housewarming.’ That doesn’t stop Ciara from dragging him into her room and lying on her bed with him. I have no words. Even her pajamas are not entire shirts.
******
Amanda can’t even hug Kyle without bitching at him.
Something has always bugged me about her, other than the laziness, and now I think I see it. She’s an opportunist and a shyster. She’s a wolf dressed in sheep’s attire.
They decide to torture us by having their typical fucking tit for tat conversation.
Now we know why Amanda was so checked out the entire time. She has a fucking boyfriend.
I feel like instead of making excuses, he could have pointed out how she was sitting on West’s lap and talking about sex with Ben. They’re both very valid reasons for being upset.
Does his delivery blow? Yes. He was drunk.
I just don’t think Amanda hears Kyle when he complains about how distant and detached she is. She acts like she does, but she doesn’t.
At the same time I get how he’s very needy, and it’s annoying and a lot of pressure when she just wants to live her life.
Also at the same time, her bragging about ‘sticking by him’ – was she really sticking by him, or was it more like she needs supported by him so she deals with it. I say the latter.
I see she has nothing to say when he says it just doesn’t seem like she cares. Because she doesn’t and she knows that.
He wants to feel loved. So does she. OMG. STOP.

Lindsay’s apartment is huge. Wow T-Mobile must pay pretty well.
Now she can have people make sandwiches for HER.
Ciara and Mia are the first to arrive. Ciara acting a little like she’s never been in elegant surroundings.
Some people clean their space, Ciara.
Nothing said about Carl and Jesse twinning in the exact same shirt?
Why is Carl always so awkward trying to talk to Lindsay? He’s the one that dumped HER! He has the upper hand. Can’t he at least preplan and practice what he’s going to say to her? Presenting a gift for the baby shouldn’t have been so weird. Like what was with the “born in New York, and the whole thing..”
Where else would she have been born?
Bailey arrives and charges in as if she owns the place leaving her friend behind. She mumbles ‘sorry’ to her I think. She has an agenda, it’s clear.
That was weird.
Is she trying a little too hard to be messy? Is she a little too excited for her second ‘moment?’ Maybe. She’s determined not to be called boring.
If she’s invited back, production needs to teach her how to ‘act natural’ when entering a room. Because that was NOT it. You don’t go barreling towards the person you’re not supposed to know is confronting you.
Dara approaches her right away about saying that she was in Ben’s room for an extensive time ‘changing.’
Girls, this is NOT riveting. In the least. Especially now. We don’t care if she gave KJ six blow jobs in an hour. And is there any reason why we don’t ask Ben? Am I being too reasonable?
Whatever. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.
