I really do think Carl should just come out already. That pajama set he was wearing, his demeanor sometimes, his admission of performance issues (that Lindsay also mentioned last season.) It’s just a lot of arrows pointing in that direction.
His trying to come onto Ciara, and claiming to ‘have a crush on her’ was just so out of nowhere and off.

Lindsay probably lost her shit watching that, since it sounded like he’s been into her all along. I think he’s very confused.
Ciara NEEDS to be done with these white white men. She goes for dudes that couldn’t even get a tan to save their life.
She doesn’t just go for white men she goes for REALLY white men. Like I’m surprised she’s fucking around with Jesse, (if you watched WWHL Wednesday, she clearly is, even though she denied it. Also she was stoned and in her underwear) because he’s a little too dark for her.
He’s impressed she was a nurse, (for exactly one year, then quit in 2020, during the covid thing to be on Summer House and ‘work’ for two months out of the entire year.)
Good for her. I guess it’s enough for her to survive in NYC, because I’m not even sure she does anything else. Maybe she’s doing some influencing, but I don’t think so. Her caption is still Nurse/Model.
She uses the excuse for the reason she’s not into him, is to not make waves with Lindsay.
She’s letting him down easy.
It does make me sad that Carl is feeling so shitty about himself after Lindsay. Being in a relationship with a narcissist DOES do that.
It messes with your confidence, and sucks the life right out of you,
I feel like Ciara was flattered, but also can’t wait to get away from him.
Lexi and Schwartz would be cute together. Their outfits totally match.
They need a pic!! That would make Jesse lose his shit, and it would be hilarious.

Six months pregnant Lindsay at this big boozer house party is just so not what I would call anything close to appropriate. And she even holds out until the end.
Jesse confronts Amanda who he’s supposedly annoyed with, for blabbing to Lexi about his ongoing complaints.
Paige points out that he was venting to them, so he has involved them.
I would say to that, to play devil’s advocate, is that he was CONFIDING (reality TV version, in front of cameras and a million people) in them and didn’t count on them running and telling Lexi.
At the end of the day, she is a little clingy and kind of bossy to someone she JUST MET and went on some dates with.
But also he was coming on strong. I do see that.
She’s better suited with someone like Craig or Schwartz as I just pointed out. They’re both a little old for her, but just saying, their personality types.
Jesse’s better suited with absolutely no one. No one. Not ever. Maybe these skanks Imrul’s been dragging back to the house every weekend.
When he asks for specifics as to ‘what he did wrong’ they play the flashes of him hanging all over Ciara that weekend.
Lindsay points out what he said to Ciara, about how he would have liked to have ‘dibs’ on her last summer. Is she for real okay with being talked to like this? Like property?
Then of all things to say to cover his shit, he tells them it was a ‘joke’ and he said it to make her feel better.
Ciara is completely pissed at that, however she seems to have gotten over it, since I think they’re now together, but pretending not to be.

Who would want to be in a relationship with that weirdo?
And you know what? Not that you asked, but I really think that IS what he meant and why he said that to her. He actually thought it would ‘make her feel better.’
It was in the same convo talking about equally as douchey West.
Like what an entitled fucking prick.
She calls him a weirdo and walks away.
He says “No. Come back” with no emotion whatsoever. He very clearly does NOT want her to come back
So back to this Carl and Ciara thing since she’s telling the girls about it, Carl is the second guy in the house to tell her ‘what if things would’ve been different because you’re the one I really liked…’
Sooooo I don’t know, it’s just really strange. Ciara seems to think these are compliments, and I don’t know that they necessarily are.
They both seem kind of full of shit to be honest.
They keep showing Carl dancing as they’re having this convo, and I kind of rest my case about what I said earlier.

So two guys claim they’re into you, one is most likely gay and the other, a big giant douche that we can see gets a kick out of love bombing, as he’s been doing to Lexi. But I guess it’s still a compliment. A flirt’s a flirt.
Lindsay does the ‘everyone get out’ announcement to these very unimportant commoners that are in attendance.
Lindsay at these parties is a lot to take in. She’s not doing anything wrong per se. I’m sure she’s not drinking, which is actually great, less drama and screaming, it’s just a bad look. Trashy is the word that comes to mind.
Where DO they get the random extras for these parties. Do they run an ad or something?
Carl follows Paige upstairs with her entire ass hanging out of her bloomers, as she’s doing her weird slow talking thing. Maybe he’s bi. No judgement, I’m just saying.

“Next. Yearrrrrrr, I neeeeed like a… swinnngingggggg… baaaaaaad.
Okaaaaaaayyyyy Paaaaaaaaaiggggggge.
The Kyle and Schwartz convos are a little awkward and forced. They talk about how they don’t have kids yet, again. Gotta love 42 year-old dudes complaining they don’t have kids, while dressed like an angel and a tree sloth.

They make jokes about taking their non-existent kids out for their 21st birthday in their 60’s. I find it ironic that now suddenly Kyle wants kids and Amanda does not.
I guess there’s never food at these parties? So they’re giving all of these strangers an unlimited amount of alcohol but no food?
They get McDonald’s delivered. Gabby thinks the Uber Eats guy may have helped himself to their nuggets. I mean, I’m sure he did. Like duhhh. That’s what they do.
Lexi vents to her sister about Jesse. Does she NOT realize that he does NOT love her? I don’t even think he likes her at this point. I like how she’s sticking with her lighted up skirt.
I feel like at the very very least, Jesse is looking like he feels like schmuck as he’s eating his filet-a-fish. Not that that’s fucking admirable. He could go up and talk to her. Maybe ask her if she wants anything to eat, as he’s sitting here stuffing his own fucking face. Moron. Such a gentleman. That’s an entire feat to manage to piss off two bitches in one night.

Gabby checks on her, and asks if Jesse is the reason that she’s upset. Wow nothing gets by you Gabby.

This newly nice and sweet Lindsay version joins in the Lexi pity party.
I think Jesse IS making the girls a little apprehensive about her with the things he’s saying. He’s making her seem a little wacko and possessive.
Do I think she should relax a little bit about some of her ‘rules’ especially the social media one? Yes. But other than that I think her expectations for someone new she’s seeing and is being told he loves her and wants to be exclusive, are not insane. Remember she did admit to being the jealous type.
I don’t know wtf ‘Zootopia’ is, but these pansy ass guys are all cuddling on the trampoline bed watching it together.

NO JOKE, what is happening with Lindsay? I’ve never seen any woman pregnant take on a whole entire different (and better) personality.
She does these coffee runs for everyone every morning and even brings Schwartz a coffee in his room? And she’s like so nice to the girls, even Lexi who you know goddamned well she would HATE if she was still desperate bitter single Lindsay.
******
Schwartz comes into Paige and Ciara’s room to say good-bye. He hangs for a little and wishes he still had his ‘happy’ little VPR family.
He says they all hate each other, and I think that’s kind of accurate. Is he even friends with Sandoval anymore? Are any of the girls talking? Maybe Ariana and Katie.
Jesse feigns confusion in the kitchen as he’s making breakfast as to why Ciara is ‘so mad at him.’
Does anybody know? He asks Lindsay and Amanda.
‘DOES ANYBODY KNOW?’
Is he serious. Who doesn’t respect a dude that fucks up with women, knows he fucked up, knows exactly what he did or said, and plays dumb??
I think he just wants them to make him feel better, and tell him he didn’t do anything wrong.
He’s selling that the ‘trying to make her feel better’ comment as a joke.
Lexi enters the chat and tells him to stop talking shit about her.
He kind of was. He denies that, but it’s just fucking semantics. Bitching about her, complaining about her, venting about her, talking shit. It’s all the same fucking thing.
How about talking directly TO her?
She wants to hash it all out in front of the group. I think that’s fair, and make sense since he has involved the group with all of his complains about her. Not ‘talking shit’ though. If she wants to know exactly what was said, it’s the way to do it.
He says ‘he’s happy to talk about it with everyone, but it’s a little extra.’
Is that a Jewish thing? To say you’re ‘happy’ to do something you absolutely do not want to do. I know someone else that always says that. It used to confuse me.
Then I realized ‘oh that’s what he says when he DOESN’T want to do something.’ Makes perfect sense! Maybe it’s just a guy thing.
Why can’t fucking lazy ass Paige and Ciara even sit up in their beds when Schwartz is trying to talk to them?
Everyone in the house is up, but these two lazy mother fuckers.
Lexi is being kind of brutal to Jesse but I think she still stays with him. When she was on WWHL a few weeks ago it seemed that they had just recently broken up.
He’s not liking the criticism too much, but tough titties dumb ass. Suck it up.
The convo is mostly calm. No one is raising their voice and there’s not even name-calling.
Lexi actually seems mature and wanting to discuss like adults.
She brings up to West, Jesse’s pissy little fit about Lexi supposedly flirting with West.
He denies all of it. I wish they would have played the whole thing back.
He’s such a fucking liar.
“For example, West.”
What in THE hell is wrong with this little boy?
Fucking Kyle, who we’ve had to endure him and Amanda screaming at each other for ten fucking years, and countless drunken tantrums, tells Lexi to “pipe down a little.” Dude what? No one is yelling. You shut the fuck up.
If you’re annoyed, leave the room. There’s like twenty fucking room in the house. Jesus.

Of course West takes Jesse’s side when they go up to their room when he was all lippy in his yap about Jesse bringing him into their dysfunction.
Of course Jesse uses her reactions to his idiocy against her, and doubles down on these ‘red flags’ to West.
I love Paige’s low-key dig at Amanda’s ‘leaving outfit.’ Why does she always dress so frumpy? Like it’s summer. Not only should summer be FUN, but summer should be CUTE. It’s not for long ass baggy jeans and a huge baggy ugly shirt.
Everyone leaves. Poor Schwartzy is all alone waiting for his Uber to the airport. No shade, of course, but I still think he’s on the autism spectrum.

A five-six hour flight for the weekend. That’s brutal.
******
Back home, Jesse drops in on Lexi. He claims he doesn’t like to fight. Then stop fucking up dipshit.
This guy is such a dufas. What does she even see in him?

I don’t ever want to hear the words ‘toe sucking’ ever again for the rest of my life.
He apologizes.
She tells him he’s exhausting her. I like that phrasing. It is exhausting being with a dude that’s sucking the life right of your little by little.
Jesse keeps talking about their great ‘connection.’ But is it? Like where?
******
Amanda and Kyle have a lunch date and this whole convo blows me away.
These two can’t get in sync to save their lives. Although, it is nice to not see them yelling at each other.
She calls herself better suited for a lunch date when she’s more ‘alive.’
Why is this chick always so tired? Isn’t she like 32? What the hell is it that she does? She half-works for her husband, doing the most low-key shit ever. She has no kids, and I doubt she does any household fucking chores, at all. Maybe she needs some iron supplements.
So Kyle presents to her the possibility he could have bad swimmers and may not be able to father children, should they decide to do that at some point.
She tells him that wouldn’t be the end of the world, and she’s even wondering if she should have kids. He looks stunned.
It’s funny how he all of a sudden wants a kid, when it was one of their big arguments last year, other than her being lazy, that she was pressuring him to have kids. He was acting like that was the last thing that he wanted.
Now Amanda’s like ‘ehhh whatever, I don’t think I want to take care of anyone, when I can barely take care of myself.’
He seems miffed he never shared this with her.
