Poor Molly has a migraine, as I am sure I would after drinking champagne all day. I don’t know how these girls do it.
I wish she would play it cool how she’s into Shep. The second he says she’s into him, will be a complete turn-off. Plus at ten years younger than him, she’s way too old.
Shep models his dinner outfit for her. As if she gives any fucks what he’s wearing.
She does not care if he lives or dies.
These SC dudes are way too into their hair and outfits for my liking. Maybe this is why Paige dumped Craig. Between his sewing and worrying about his outfits, it was getting to be a turn-off. Maybe? But why stay with him for three years and keep reassuring him marriage and a family is on the horizon. We know why.
Apparently Shep and Sienna were having really hot sex in the beginning of their pretend relationship.
I assume that’s what he’s trying to point out when he tells her it was “hot passionate and wonderful” when they first started dating. Or whatever you call it when you’re seeing someone in a whole ass other country.
That was then, this is now, Shep. She’s done with ya. It doesn’t even seem like she wants to be on the show, so not even sure what her ulterior motive is. Maybe just to see what all she can get him to pay for with mommy and daddy’s wallet.
Ultimately when they broke up in December it was over money. Shep was getting sick of her expecting him to pay for all of her trips back and forth.
At this point, they hadn’t even seen each other in a month and a half, and as we noticed, she was in NO HURRY to be with him when they arrived to the Bahamas.
What’s with her weird facial expression throughout this conversation. She kind of looks Jessica Rabbit. She looks like she’s trying to exaggerate these bedroom eyes or whatever. I can’t even describe it, because she looks so strange. It looks cartoonish.
So he professes his love and she looks at him like she wants to sprint out of there.
She reminds him they never put a label on their whatever this is.
I’m shocked he stayed with this chick until December. Did I say that last week?? Well I’m saying it again.
I’m going to copy Craig and say there really is something so off about her ‘aura.’
She seems really sneaky and disingenuous.
They embrace which they only show for like a second but it’s enough to see her cringing and turning her head in the opposite direction so he doesn’t try to kiss her. She is repulsed by this man.
This HAD to be fake story line. I refuse to believe Shep is this naive and willing to embarrass himself for real.
I got some TikTok SC tea today, that HAS to be true if it’s on TikTok, that some of these story lines have been completely contrived.
#1. Molly has/had a boyfriend (not sure if they’re still together I think no since he’s talking) during filming but production wanted her single and pining over Shep.
#2. The JT and Venita thing was not real. Neither even liked the other, and yes JT had a girlfriend (as unbelievable as that sounds.)
I also saw something today that this girlfriend was a stalker and some of the guys had a restraining order against her.
Also this I stumbled across, Ravenel tweeted comparing Whitney to Harvey Weinstein, calling him a predator who has slept with every woman on the cast, past and present.
I’m stayin’ outta that one.
Okay twist my arm, I will say one thing: It’s a little creepy. Shep is 46/47 Whitney is 56/57 and they are constantly preying on these girls in their 20’s. It’s getting a little gross and predator-like. No 20-something would be interested in these two if they didn’t come from generational wealth. And they definitely use that. Don’t tell me they don’t.
They arrive to the restaurant and greet the gang.
Shep is literally acting like he’s on a first date. Like he’s 16 and it’s a first first date. As much as I want to doubt it, this HAS to be for real. If this is all an act, he deserves an Oscar.
He’s trying so hard to impress this girl.
She doesn’t care.
Madison asks her if they’re “actually together” when she stays at the table with the girls, Rodrigo and Craig, and the guys pull Shep aside to get the skinny on their talk.
She tells them they never labeled it, or said they were going to be exclusive.
Shep recounts the convo a little differently to Austen as to what actually happened. She never said she’d love to continue the conversation later and talk about their future.
Pretty sure she said “we’re late for dinner” after he tried to hug her, and she looked like she wanted to puke.
Who says “I’ll see” when you’re asked ‘did you miss me?’ It doesn’t even make any sense.
She’s now constantly making a bunch of TikTok rants ‘defending herself.’ She’s coming off kind of thirsty, desperate and ditzy.
Sienna tells the ladies, Craig and Rodrigo (I guess I can just say ‘the ladies’ lol) that they get along because they’re both non-committal.
Shep seems disturbed and embarrassed about all of it, which is kind of funny.
They head back to the hotel to continue the evening in their suites. Sienna declines, claiming she has a ‘stomach ache.’
Madison informs Shep that she doesn’t like him. He seems to not be receiving any of this.
This is one reason why these guys can’t have successful relationships. I wish they’d just come out already.
Because they are too into each other.
Shep sent Sienna an embarrassing text message that everyone is cringing at.
I thought Shep was so intelligent and articulate. This message sounds like a note I got from a kid in 7th grade. No I think he was in 7th grade, and I was in 8th or 9th. I was like ME go out with a 7th grader?? AS IF.
“I don’t feel this way, almost never.”
Did I mention I can’t believe he embarrassed himself for another six months after this??
******
This Flamingo Yoga is fucking coolest hing I’ve ever seen, not to sound like a dork.
They’re so friendly. And they’re pink. And they’re Flamingos!
They even do the poses!
******
The second wave arrives: Venita Whitney The Goon and this Ryan dude, who has said two sentences all season. I can’t believe I thought Whitney was cool just a few years ago. In my defense he was playing the electric guitar. And I was like you know, he’s kind of a dork, but also kind of cool.
I can’t believe they haven’t even been to the beach yet??
You do have to see the irony in Craig pointing out that Sienna is stringing him along. Yeah she was, but it’s not like Shep had invested a lot of time in this relationship, unlike Craig, three years with someone who was stringing HIM along.
There was a lot of missing of flights with this crew. Guess they don’t follow the ‘arrive two hours before your flight’ guideline.
Madison is still SO PISSED at poor little JT for merely pointing out Brett must’ve been jealous last season because he called him asking if anything happened on the cast trip between the two of them. Perhaps Madison was trying to make him jealous. I can definitely see that.
Is being a mean girl, as she points out she’s definitely NOT, really the hill you want to die on, Madison?
It’s giving such shallow energy.
Today’s events: A fish fry establishment for lunch OR snorkeling.
Sienna had committed to the fish fry even though Shep is going snorkeling, and then promptly cancels because she still has a stomach ache.
Craig points out how weird that is that she has zero interest in seeing him on this trip in which they were supposed to like, see each other. It was kind of the point in coming here.
Shep is not appreciating Craig’s brutal honesty.
Does he have a point? Yes. Does he have any room to talk? No.
I don’t think Craig is kicking him when he’s down, as Austen accuses. He needs to be told this.
Shep’s leg shaking thing is funny. What is wrong with him? Is that ADD? Extreme anxiety? What?
Shep decides to call her. She never responded to his 7th grade text message.
She ditches the group. She calls that message ‘intense’ and tells him they have to talk about it.
I think Craig, because he’s just really sensitive and tends to absorb the feelings of others, is genuinely angry at Sienna for feeling treating Shep like this.
His delivery could be better, but he’s not trying to be a douche.
The snorkeling was drama-free. No one fought. No one got dismembered.
Madison is cracking me up. She’s on vacay in the Bahamas, where it’s okay to walk around half-naked, but she’swearing these long-ass dresses that look so hot, but back home her skirts could not be shorter and she could not be showing more cleavage. Especially when she’s hanging with the dudes, which she always seems to be doing.
*****
At the fish place they discuss Sienna’s ‘bad vibes.’
And Shep’s infatuation with the bad vibes.
Austen is all in his feelings about Craig bitching about her.
To be fair, Shep certainly doesn’t mince words with people when he has a gripe, so is it so bad that Craig is dishing it out, and telling him like it is.
No it’s not. Especially since he’s right.
Shep will be okay, Austen. Also Shep is a big boy and can fight his own fucking battles. Take A seat dude. Jesus.
Madison and Craig who are pretending to be friends, discuss the Austen and Craig strife, and Craig tells her he thinks that Austen hates him. Whatever.
Madison doesn’t care.
It’s hilarious she’s taking on this guidance counselor or confidant role this season.
It’s Madison. She has the depth of a fucking puddle.
