It’s in person except for Lala, and Schwartz and Katie. Andy says something about being “safe” or following protocols. Assuming they ‘tested positive.’
Sandoval is wearing nail polish. James is wearing lavender. Brock is…. Brock.
The girls look cute, I’m wondering what Scheana has in her hair. So Cute.
No time to waste – after Andy goes around the room, James and Raquel announce they have broken up.
Lisa keeps asking why? what happened?? ? LVP, I thought you were really smart.
Have you NOT been watching ?? He treats her horribly. He’s like dealing with a toddler.
He is either one extreme or the other – super sweet and loving, or a complete dick! Who needs that shit !!! He’s up, he’s down, he’s pissed, angry, stomping out. Chicks don’t dig that !! If there are any dudes out there reading this, CHICKS DON’T DIG THAT !!!! They reel you in, then when they start acting this way more often, it almost becomes part of your routine, so you think it’s normal. It’s not.
Raquel discloses they haven’t had sex in like two years ? James is not very happy she just revealed that to the world. They back track that to having sex like once a month. I would have not been upset not knowing this.
‘Through covid’ or ‘quarantine’ phrase is getting thrown around. I get confused on what time period constitutes “through covid?” Is that like March 2020 through present ? 2020 only ? 2020 and 2021 ???? who knows. James is using that as an excuse though.
I’m sure your girlfriend saying “I was having nightmares about our wedding day” isn’t exactly what every dude wants to hear.
James is admitting that they were just going through the motions, even when the season started. James says, “we did it, and we did it big.” Yeah no shit. sounds like overcompensating. Tom is literally laughing out loud at that. Andy asks if he’s thinking of the 25k he spent on the proposal event. No, he says he’s not worried, that was worth it. I just don’t get why first of all, he would even propose to begin with, and second of all, make it such an elaborate event. Or why did Raquel say yes?
Andy asks Sandy about Jax, and he says that Jax and him are “at different places.” Ariana points out he wouldn’t come out to Katie’s and Schwartz Christmas party because “he was there.” Who knows what is up Jax’s ass. Who cares.
Back to James and Raquel – Andy asks James if he’s still “Cali sober” and still using pot. James says he’s high right now. Lisa: “no wonder you’re not having sex if you’re stoned all of the time.”
Andy: “Well sex when you’re high is pretty fun” That’s not what Lisa wanted to hear.
Raquel hands the ring over. Charly keeps saying – “Don’t give it back, why are you giving it back??” can someone swat that fly ?? Shut up Charly !! The grown-ups are trying to have a convo here.
Brock asks how long this has been going on for? . James is like “Mate have you been listening ??” Now he’s being all pissy to Brock. Guess that’s not a surprise given the way things ended at the engagement party.
They argue again the same stupid argument – “you haven’t been a friend to me …” James calls him a moocher or user, which I wouldn’t disagree with. James whines something about giving him free shirts and never hearing from him again ?
Don’t think these two are the same size, not sure what that’s all about. Guess Brockie got some free shirts? Brock shuts it down with “your girlfriend just said she’s exhausted from dealing with YOU !!”
Andy starts to move to another topic, and James storms out like a hormonal housewife.
I’m not sure how Raquel expected this would go. Announcing it this way, and handing the ring over in front of the viewers and everyone. It’s clear it wasn’t “mutual” or an agreement, as they’re trying to sell it. Rachel dumped his dumb anger issues ass. James’ precious little ego cannot handle this. I don’t see tomorrow night going well. (I assume it’s on at 8pm before OC.)
Tom goes to comfort him and retrieve him. I do feel like I’m watching Housewives. James tells Tom, about her family not liking him. Which most people could see from the engagement party. Her dad was like – “I didn’t give my blessing, I welcomed him to the family.” Her family thought he was a punk. Which he is. You could tell her sister found him insufferable. I read that Thanksgiving was stressful, because he was arguing with her family, and didn’t want to go through her life like that.
Charly is having her moment – her mind numbing moment – two story ‘items’ (not staying story line) of the entire season are, only eating pbj and pizza, and that dude putting his hand on her at the pool party.
After listening to her mind numbing mouth moving, we move on to the fallen TV. Well this is a small step up. SMALL. Clearly, Brock did that very quickly, for the cameras, and it’s not surprising it fell down that night. He admits that he didn’t even find a ‘stud’ so he was worried. Perhaps with the cameras off, he could have disclosed that to Charly? Scheana and Charly start to argue about how she tweeted that out, instead of just letting her know. It turns into who wants/needs more attention than whom? That is like saying comparing a cat, to another cat. Charly can probably leave now.
Lala defends using a day and night nurse since she didn’t have help from Randall. Lame excuse. A lot of women are single moms, or have husbands not involved as much as we would like, and manage without a “day and night nurse.” She should admit it was a status thing. In every dang scene she was handing the baby off to one of them. It was ridiculous. She is ridiculous.
Baby talk — Ariana talks about freezing her eggs, Scheana talks about using a surrogate due to health issues if she were to have another child. Schwartz and Katie discuss having an abortion 10 years ago, and why they now disclosed it on the show. They wanted to be real, long story short.
Andy questions the Toms about the progress of ‘Schwartz and Sandy’s. It’s to open in the Spring, they say. They play a video of them showing off the new place and how it’s going. All I really noticed is that Schwartz again, with the leopard.
Andy, for some reason asks about their “mission statement” for the bar — Guys – A mission ‘statement’ is not supposed to be an entire paragraph or a short story. That’s why it’s called a mission STATEMENT, not a mission paragraph. Like a sentence. I wish someone would tell them this. They seriously don’t know. They also don’t know what “breaking ground.” means. I do try to give these two the benefit of the doubt. But they’re just not smart guys. Yes I said it.
Andy addresses the issue with Katie wanting to be involved in the bar, and of course bitching about the name. Again we hear that Schwartz hated the name, but Katie bitched about it since he wouldn’t listen to Schwartz.
Sandy says they had a “pact” of some sort, like two years ago, with Tom Tom, that spouses wouldn’t be involved in their business. Schwartz points out that things change and evolve.
Times they are a changin! Desperate times call for desperate measures.
They all start yelling at each other. The comment comes up when Tom told Katie that he is pumping money into their household, no thanks to Schwartz. Ariana defends that comment for some unknown reason. It’s sweet that she defends him, but… she doesn’t need to, always. He does say really dumb arrogant things. It’s okay for her to admit that.
Lala is finding it really entertaining, as she smiles and gloats like the Grinch.
Well Katie starts freaking the EFF out, and screaming that Schwartz is now the one that is doing the bulk of the work, while Sandy sleeps all day. Schwartz literally puts his hands in her face to get her to stop going off. She doesn’t.
The dumbfounded look on Sandoval’s face is sort of priceless. He seems to have NO comeback.
