Gabby’s all concerned about Lindsay’s whereabouts. She took off, sorta. after she managed to squeeze through the gate. Sadly I feel like she is returning.
How did Gabby draw the short straw? Poor girl, I feel bad for her. She’s already whining at having to be her designated counselor and/or cheerleader.
Keep running Lindsay. Keep on going. Don’t come back. Literally no one, not even your fiance would give two fucks.
West tries to be a big tough guy and pick up Ciara, and almost drops her while depositing her back onto the floor. That;s embarrassing.
Carl sits outside by himself, hating his life, I know the feeling, and calls his mom to vent about his satanic fiance.
He’s not really conveying the seriousness of their issues. He probably doesn’t want to alarm her. She’s so sweet, she’s like an ‘everybody’s mom’ kind of mom, and tries to be supportive without bad-mouthing Lindsay.
Speaking of witch, Satan is through with her walk, in all of her lime green tent glory. I was hoping… well never mind. She ALMOST got hit by a mail truck, she shares with the girls. Sorry Carl.
Almost.
I’m kidding. Mostly.
He really does try. With this type of partner, you’re always taking two steps forward, and ten steps back. It’s like the goal post is always moving. Just when you think things are fine, they come up with something else to get pissed off about.
There’s always something wrong. You’re always conspiring against them, they think.

The theme of the evening is camping.
Ohhhkay Lindsay: “who doesn’t fight that’s a normal thing in relationships.”
Says the one that’s usually responsible for the fights. Usually the other one doesn’t agree with that mindset.
These fucking crackpots try to normalize this shit in order to train you to accept it. And it does work. It becomes your normal. You even get addicted to the constant fighting and making up cycle.
What’s funny to me, is like, is any of this seeming familiar to Lindsay? Was it not the exact same scenarios with the other two??? Different arguments about different subjects, but the same fucking thing. She’s never fucking happy.
You know, like – “How many sandwiches have you made for me?”
Gabby hates her life that she has to deal with Lindsay. These people are fucking exhausting. And she knows Lindsay is not interested in the truth.
Camping games have begun, yay. Woo-fucking-hoo. Is it just me or does it seem like it’s been cloudy every weekend?
Amanda made Kyle wear her new jean shorts that I guess she’ll be wearing every single weekend. I don’t know why, I really don’t. Amanda looks like a size 00, so it’s pretty concerning that her shorts fit Kyle.
Lindsay’s getting all tuned up for the camping event. Wardrobe two cents, and yes, I’m picking on Lindsay again, but her pants are way too small. I’d rather see her in the tent dress. She needs to lay off the wine.
She makes small talk with Carl. It seems obvious this is the norm for them.
Ciara seems to be responding well to West. I don’t want to brag but I did call this. I said he’s whiter than white, he’s giving her attention, that checks her boxes.
Jesse has what sounds like a booty call ‘date.’ At 1am.
No one checked the weather before the sleeping outside plan? It starts pouring at 4am.
Amanda’s and Kyle’s convo about this house in Jersey confused me. Sounds like she wants to purchase a home now, while keeping the apartment in the city so she has somewhere to go to ‘get away?’ Am I understanding this??
I think she badly wants to get out of her Loverboy ‘contract.’ Can you even imagine if he agrees to this? He’ll literally like never ever see her again. She’ll go from doing next to nothing for the company and for the household to nothing.
I guess Kyle will be maintaining two households while running a company.
These two are confusing. On one hand I think they’re cute together and on another hand, I think they’re a train wreck together. Kind of the same. They’re both immature and mature at the same time, but in different ways. Maybe they balance each other out??
I thought it was strange the way she introduced the convo and worded it. “I’ve been wanting to move out of the apartment forever.” Like I thought she was leaving him.
I thought the ‘I’ve’ been wanting was interesting. Nothing about ‘us’ or ‘we.’
She clearly just wants to be two minutes away from her mommy and daddy. That’s one immature part of her. She wants her parents to baby her and she wants to lie around all day doing nothing.
He reminds her that they just signed a lease for another year in their bulding.
“I know, that’s why I’m trying to get somewhere else to go.”
Excuse me, what? Is what I would say to my partner. Girl, walk to the park. She wants to move out of their joint residence into her own place is basically what she’s telling him.
Kyle seems annoyed but doesn’t say anything. He’s trying really hard to be patient with her, and does not want to have huge dysfunctional blow-outs on camera like they did the summer before they got married.
Carl and Lindsay reconcile again. He apologizes and she does not.
Why can’t he tell her he got “annoyed and frustrated” because she was drinking so heavily? That’s probably a big part of why he was ready to call it a night. He didn’t want her to continue drinking. She slammed two martini’s at dinner as well as several Rose’s before they even left.
The guys and Ciara go for some soul cycling. Jesse Solomon dives right in and addresses Carl and Lindsay’s fighting. He asks if she apologized for accusing him of doing drugs. She did not.
We needed Jesse. He’s not afraid to speak up like the other guys they tried to add to the cast.
“This is what you’re getting for the rest of your life if this is where you’re at right now.”
Those were words of wisdom from Ciara. I have a feeling Lindsay is probably pretty pissed hearing the things the house was saying to him. Especially Ciara, since they had a huge blow-out and some sort of tiff thing over Austen. Another dude NOT WORTH IT.
I don’t think she was coming from a bad place though.
Carl needs to hear this shit. A lot of times people in abusive relationships don’t have a support system because it’s embarrassing to admit to and talk about.
I feel like at this point Carl knew he was calling the marriage off, but probably just kept procrastinating. He strikes me as a procrastinator.

Craig has to be getting frustrated with Paige’s jerking him around. I think the fact that she wants a bigger apartment to have more space when he visits, shows the move to Charleston isn’t happening anytime soon.
He’s grown up a lot, he doesn’t get all in his feelings anymore at the drop of a hat, and he seems to be rolling with it. Later he even has a talk with Kyle telling him he’s okay if they don’t end up not together. He mentioned that on Southern Charm too. I think it’s his way of letting her know he might see that she just wants to date and be boyfriend and girlfriend, and doesn’t foresee then together long term. That’s what I see anyway.
This is first time West mentions he has no job and got laid off a few months prior.
I love Jesse. His questions are so freaking blunt. He inquiries as to whether or not it’s a good time to be dating someone when he has no job. That’s kind of weird question to ask someone. Speaking of these two, I’m kind of skeptical that they just met in the house. I’m kind of feeling like they were already friends. I didn’t know a bromance could develop so quickly.
Paige and Craig head to The House and discuss what Craig would do if he found out if Paige was a witch.
“Can guys be witches?”
“I don’t know.”
Neither one of them know that a male witch is called a warlock. Sometimes you just want to shake these people.
Okay, so new weekend, new attitudes maybe?? Lindsay refrains from making Carl her whipping boy maybe??
He has decided to wait and come on Saturday since they’ve yet to get through a Friday night without Lindsay telling the world he’s on drugs.
So there’s another theme party, of course. Do they overdo the theme parties, maybe a little bit??
I never knew Lindsay to be into cooking, or Ciara for that matter. But apparently they’re in charge of the evening’s dinner, a Southern-themed meal.
Didn’t know Lindsay was a ‘southern girl.’ Thought they were, like nice there. Anywho, she has her face in a Rose’ and has been in the door for all of five minutes.
This crowd is like all in with the intrusive questions, right? I think when Paige is discussing how she looked at a bigger apartment that was $4,000 more than what she was paying per month now, asking Craig if he would make up the difference is pretty rude and none of anyone’s fucking business. It’s like asking someone point blank how much they make.
Paige is getting kudos all around social media for declining his offer to pay the difference. In all seriousness that would be pretty fucking rude of her to accept it, since it seems evident that she has no intention of sealing the deal with him.
But I know some women would be more than happy to accept another man paying for shit for her when she’s just using him, and even married to someone else that also pays her shit.
(That’s not Paige, that’s some ugly skanky bitch I know of)
That being said, she’s so arrogant about him“making decisions in her apartment.” For one thing, I can’t even foresee him doing that, and for another thing, did he not allow her to decorate his whole entire house? Craig is such a sweet guy and I do fear she’s taking advantage of his kindness and patience.
She’s sounding like such an ungrateful bitch. And they’re a little bit of an older couple to be acting so clueless about adulting. I just can’t see her leaving New York City. When she appeared on Southern Charm, she seems to be frequently complaining and making sarcastic remarks.
Craig discusses his past heavy drinking issues, and how he transitioned into drinking beer and wine only socially, and not overdoing since he realized it was causing issues with him and Paige. He also realized he was past the age of getting shitfaced constantly being cute. Is Kyle paying attention?
Lindsay sort of listens but is trying not to as she pours more wine.
Paige tries to take credit for his laying off of the spirits, and he shoots her down, calling it “my own journey.”
Craig drills Kyle about him and Amanda working together. I love how he asks, “do you think it would be better if she worked for another company?”
Dude, have you met Amanda?? Like no way IN HELL if she stopped working for Loverboy she would she get another job. Pahlease. That’s hilarious. She just told Kyle she wants to buy her own house that she can sit in and do nothing all day.
I honestly think her burning desire to have children is so she never has to have a job for the rest of her life.
This is where Craig does that spiel again that if they don’t ‘end up together’ it’s not the end of the world.
On one hand it does sound kind of insulting to have your boyfriend say that, but on another hand if you pay attention to their dynamic, it makes sense that he’s putting that out into the universe in the event she breaks up with him. Something tells me he’s not going to have much trouble finding someone new, He’s a lot more confident than he used to be, without being arrogant about it.
I think he’s seeing the writing on the wall, that the geography situation is an issue, and she is not planning on changing that anytime soon. What she does work-wise, she could do from anywhere (Bravoleb and influencer.) Craig can’t.
What’s funny about these two talking, as Kyle compares their situation to him and Amanda also having some difference of near-future goals, is that Amanda wants the things that Craig wants, and Paige is happy living in an apartment in NYC for the rest of her life like Kyle is, and not really obsessing over starting a family.
I’m not saying they should switch, I’m just saying. But I have a point, right?
So we’re minus Danielle and Gabby I just realized.
Lindsay is modeling her various dinner look choices for Paige and Amanda.
Again, with the prying personal questions. Paige asks Lindsay point blank how often they have sex. I guess Lindsay did bring it up by referring to him as not very sexual.
She him haws as if she as think about it before she answers. I think she almost even says “we don’t really have sex” but stops herself.
Usually when you’re in a relationship you can answer that off the top of your head. She comes up with once every two weeks.
Paige is right in her yap, she’s probably embellishing that number, and it’s more like once a month or never. She complains that Carl never initiates it.
There always has been murmurings of Carl possibly not being into girls. Again, I’m just saying, kind of repeating what I’ve heard, I’m not saying it’s true.
You do have to take into account what a See You Next Tuesday bitch she is, and that could be affecting his sex drive. You tend to not want to have sex with someone starting a senseless needless idiotic argument every ten minutes.
You do have to appreciate her honesty though.
None of this is shocking.
