Any way you slice it or dice it, Danielle’s scream into the pillow thing was for sure an odd reaction.
And they keep playing the scene of her telling Lindsay that she’s allowed to be in shock, and she’s allowed to feel weird about it. Why is she saying such strange things. It seems more about her than about Lindsay. I’m not sure what ‘s going on. After her pillow scream, she proceeds to lecture Carl, “it hasn’t even been a year yet.” Okay, again, it’s been almost a year that they’ve been together. Why is she so threatened and jealous? It’s getting so strange. It’s like an obsession. It is an obsession.
“There’s not an ounce of me that doesn’t like you two as a couple.” Well you just literally SCREAMED when told he’s looking at engagement rings, screamed. So there are maybe several ounces of you that has a problem with them as a couple. This makes Carl feel better for whatever reason, when clearly she is lying her ass off. She calls it ‘laughable’ that anyone would think that she has feelings for Carl, she says in her yap. “It is INSANE” she claims. Sounds like a little – one of my fave words for the Bravolebs – overcompensating. Meaning, she does have feelings, or thinks she does, for Carl.
Carl says he wants to get back to the “four of them doing things together.” And immediately Danielle whines that – “why does it have to be the four of us?” Why can’t we go back to the Amigos?”
I think it’s really really strange that Danielle wants to hang around the two of them constantly, as a third wheel. Most people do not want to pal around with a couple. I guess because she’s not single, it’s okay, so she doesn’t feel like a third wheel, when she is. And most couples do not want to hang around a friend, it’s awkward and weird. Anyone else think it’s strange? I think it’s normal that they want to do things together as a couple, and don’t want to involve Danielle. What’s wrong with t his chick? For real – what’s wrong with this chick?
She refers to them as “doing this really serious relationship thing.” Okay? What? Serious relationship ‘thing?’
“I have a different relationship.” You mean the one where your dude doesn’t really want to be around you? So you’re jealous and sabotaging your best friend’s relationship? Cool.
She whines about Lindsay not checking in with her, or calling or texting her. And I can kind of understand that, but with her strange rhetoric, I don’t think that’s the issue.
I thought perhaps Carl was placating Danielle, but maybe not. (In his yap he says ‘hunkydory’ – LOL)
Perhaps he had real concerns that Danielle thought he was bad for Lindsay. If anything, the opposite is true. Danielle assures him “that’s not it at all.”
Than what the fuck is it Danielle? Because it seems more than just you miss not spending as much time with her. I can’t believe I’m defending Lindsay, but maybe she doesn’t want to be around her because all she does is ooze negativity and snarky comments about her and Carl. Who would want to be around that?
The convo ends with – “I just wanted to be heard in the friendship.” We hear ya Danielle, we hear YA. Loud and clear. You are jealous. They hug.
******
Meanwhile Lindsay is busy out getting completely shitfaced, which is not recommended, I would think, when you’re boyfriend is a recovering addict. You would think THAT would be Danielle’s concern, not “why are we not the amigos anymore??” Shows you where her concern actually lies. For herself. Danielle is a shit head.
Looks like Lindsay almost started drunkenly making out with Sam and Cory when they were out.
Sam calls the crew that opted to stay home and make pizzas with Carl, to see if they wanted to come out. She specifically addresses Kyle, and tells him “you’re not lame.” What IS her obsession with Kyle? She acts like he’s some type of celeb or something.
Lindsay wants to talk to Carl on the phone, and drills Kyle as to his whereabouts in the house.
Danielle wants to hug on Carl, since she has reassured him she has no issue with him. Oh Thank God. Because we all should give a thousand fucks what jealous judgy Danielle Whatever thinks. She lingered a while with that hug.
The going out crew arrives home, and Lindsay is LIT. I don’t get why Carl is so concerned about what she thinks. Surely he sees things are a little off with her. And why does he even have to get involved anyway? It’s between Danielle and Lindsay.
Lindsay starts getting all extra Lindsay, and offended that Danielle is okay with him, when I think what he’s really trying to say is that he’s glad she’s okay with them as a couple.
He does say something like “she’s okay with me in the relationship with you” but I guess that goes over her drunk head. (and again WHO CARES whatta fuck fucking Danielle thinks! She’s a moron.) But drunk Lindsay, which is sober Lindsay on crack, gets all cranked up and starts saying things like – “Oh I’m glad YOU’RE okay, I thought you would have an opinion” and blah blah whatever she said. He actually did state his opinion. He asked her to back off the fucking negativity and nicely said, he’s okay double-dating with her and Robert, but not really including her hanging out with him and Lindsay. And why would he want her around constantly? I think it would be kind of disturbing if he did.
She crawls off his lap, where he was holding her like a baby, because we know she loves that. Carl repeats “me and you” and Lindsay just keeps saying “it’s all about you, and you don’t care she has an issue with ME.” It’s like arguing with stone cold sober Teresa Guidice.
Am I smoking crack or is Danielle Lindsay’s friend, not Carl’s, so why is this Carl’s issue? Lindsay is also irritated that he didn’t defend her… again.
Not to mention that Danielle lied her ass off, because she clearly does have a problem with them together. But the problems are not looking out for her friends, they’re about her feeling excluded and jealous.
Well this goes on much too long. Carl needed to have disengaged when he saw how drunk she is.
He does try, but Lindsay follows him and keeps repeating her nonsense.
Danielle is walking around stalking and eavesdropping, because this girl has many many issues. Almost as many as Lindsay. I think she’s secretly happy they’re arguing, honestly.
Why the hell is Carl wearing this velour shorts set thing??
They go to bed and Lindsay keeps hammering away at him, and can’t let it go. I’m not sure how Carl had the patience to deal with this shit.
Paige and Amanda eavesdrop.
Lindsay says “why can’t you have a normal conversation?” Seriously?
And just when you thinks it’s going to be over, she keeps yelling at him, and blaming him for a dispute between her and HER friend, which honestly, I’m not even sure why he’s getting involved in two chicks arguing.
This is all ridiculous. Kinda feel bad for Carl, but kinda not, because he is choosing to be with this girl.
And typically Lindsay style, she starts going with below the belt insults and accuses Carl of it always being all about HIM, when that’s really the opposite of what’s happening here. Its actually all about her, and her stupid friendship with weirdo Danielle.
He leaves the bed, comes back in a few, he was probably hoping she would be passed out, but she’s still going strong and won’t let it go.
And then, you knew it was coming at least I did, she was so NOT okay with her birthday being glazed over, not really celebrated, and replaced with the housewarming event, and mourning of Carl’s dead brother. This is the true Lindsay. She’s drunk and putting it all out there. We all wanted to believe she changed and would be good for Carl, but yeah, NO. Not even close. She’s such a fucking bitch.
Looks like Danielle was out with the guys of course, probably trying to hit on drunk Kyle.
She recaps her convo with Carl to Sam and Gabby in the morning.
She seemed really excited about the hug. I don’t think Robert wants to have sex with her at all, so she has to take what she can get. Lindsay enters the scene and Danielle storms off and mumbles she needs a morning cocktail. I guess Danielle feels weird that she’s trying to hit on her boyfriend.
Now evil Danielle is miffed that Carl and Lindsay are not at odds in the morning. She wanted them to continue fighting about her I guess. I think Carl is smart enough to realize that she was drunk, and there’s no point in continuing the argument, especially here. He should, however, be concerned about some of her behavior and hurtful things she said to him. Continuing the fight in front of Danielle is just not smart.
She smirks at them as she’s drinking her OJ.
Paige, Amanda, Ciara and Gabby go shopping. Again, horny Danielle would rather hang with the dudes. Lindsay and Sam stay back to be with their guys. Danielle stays back to be with everyone else’s guys.
Chris hosts a Marine Corps style (sort of not really) competition that I sincerely doubt any of the other guys will be able to handle.
I don’t know why Amanda is wearing an ugly baggy nude sweater in August on a hot afternoon.
She seems determined to look like a thirteen year old this summer, not sure why.
Ciara, Amanda and Paige look at the results of their fertility tests, which seemed like kind of a dumb thing to do, given Amanda’s issues are extreme weight loss and lack of a cycle, so this doesn’t seem to be what she should be focused on right now. There could be something else going on. I think Ciara just wants to remind us she’s a nurse, even though she hasn’t held a nurse position for like four years.
Ciara’s results indicate that she may have fertility issues. Amanda’s indicate her fertility is fine, but she also shares that this probably wasn’t very helpful given her no period situation. Duh.
Kyle and Carl talk to Danielle outside, alone. Danielle with the guys again. She bitches about Lindsay again, who you know has NO PROBLEM with their relationship, as her voice goes up ten octaves. Shew always has a lot to say to everyone else, but when confronted, she gets all screechy “No I don’t have a problem…”
We again have to revisit this fucking conversation she had with Carl. Danielle goes on to whine and bitch that Lindsay doesn’t need her anymore, and she actually could be right. Lindsay is very selfish.
But, did it not occur to Danielle that Lindsay might one day have a boyfriend that lasts more than five minutes? And they wouldn’t have all of their drunken nights out??
Lindsay joins and here we go again. Round and round in circles, again. “I am supportive of your relationship”
Lindsay points out she’s never in the city therefore it’s harder to hang out. It is strange that Lindsay keeps repeating “it’s all put on me.” What does she even mean by that?
Now the water works. Lindsay points out that she’s walking around shit talking her and Carl being together. Which she absolutely is. She is. “They’re moving hella fast, they’re always together, they shouldn’t get engaged because they’re not at official one year mark of dating…”
Like she doesn’t shut up. It’s like deja vu of last season, except it was about Kyle and Amanda. She storms off having another dramatic screaming tantrum.
Paige pretends to be concerned, when she just wants to shit talk Lindsay.
They flash on the disturbing scene of her telling Lindsay she’s in shock and “feels weird about it.”
She can sit here and claim she’s so supportive all she wants, clearly she’s not. I’m so tired of talking about it. Can we please have another dilemma next week? How about a good old fashioned Kyle and Amanda argument. I’m so sick of them being so sweet and respectful to each other. Losers.
Lindsay points out that it was an odd thing to say, (it was) and then two days later to claim she’s all down with it, and just misses her friend, IS contradictory. Lindsay is right. I hate to say it, but she is. Carl looks like he wants stab himself in the eye.
******
Little bonfire action and Kyle brags that he is drinking a cosmo in a champagne glass. Why? Just why?
Danielle HATES when Carl compliments Lindsay. You always see her looking smirky and disgusted.
She is now inside dancing with the dudes. This being with the dudes is a thing for her, and it’s strange. I wish Robert would fuck her already.
******
Ciara seems to have an extreme blonde moment when she doesn’t realize August is before September when discussing the OJ expiration date. She goes on and on about how expiration dates work while Paige and Danielle sit and laugh at her in disbelief.
Not missing Mya, I think she should go to CNN and get a job there. I hate the way she spoke to Sam earlier in the season, after her stupid ‘pity me I’m black’ hissy last season over nothing. But it was perfectly fine to speak to Sam like horribly, who did nothing wrong except talk too much for her liking. What a twat.
Carl picks up Lindsay’s ring at the jeweler. Danielle is going to loser her fucking mind. Even though, you know, she’s FINE WITH IT !!!
