Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort season 3, episode 10

Time for puppets and a hot tub.  "Which puppets are you feeling inspired by?" is a wild question Ah so now because John was represented in the puppet show, he is coming But it also seems like the therapist was implying he'd already been invited (which is probably the case) Oh I didn't know Guillermo lost a brother to alcoholism... Is Shekinah just sleeping? This moment between Kara and Guillermo does make me want to hope they'll work it out "The power of the puppets!" is a wild quote I don't know how two people who have known each other for years can go on a date pretending they've just met Well Shekinah probably is right that this isn't a safe space for her Sarper is doing stand up with puppets Shekinah made a good point that the topic had switched off of them and Sarper should be allowed to sit But, Shekinah, I cannot emphasize enough that you haven't apologized for telling Thais to "go back to her country" Zied does seem so s...

Anna locking in immediately on counting the rice Ify telling Catherine to always listen to the songs Sam sings Catherine discovering room 4 Ify immediately figuring out what Catherine has figured out Ify discovering the Grant room (5) The Grants deciding on their own to shuffle around Jiavani pouring the rice in her drink and drinking it Demi (and others) trying various ways to not describe what they see Demi being the first one (we see) to actually ask differences between what he's supposed to notice Demi asserting that there weren't twins in the office rooms, but rather just one guy Catherine not getting that it's Spaghetti Man Ify indicating he can identify Grant just by the back of his head Demi being so pumped to count the rice once he knows the win condition For the final counting of the rice using both the earthquake and Elaine The Grant conga line (Prompt by Dante Gonzalez) Thumbnail of "The First 14 Minutes of G...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 12, episode 13

Time for some finalities? Catie is going to a funeral-themed bar for her bachelorette because it's the death to her hoe life Honestly, I'm glad Catie has more friends than the men she's made out with That said, I'm not sure these friends are good friends since they don't seem to see that Catie's behavior is destructive CATIE! YOU. ARE. ON. CAMERA. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH Also, have you told Josh what you want sexually? Marissa, you were supposed to be sure before applying for the visa I get Edward's frustration WE DON'T NEED TO SEE SHEA AND ANABELLE MAKEOUT NAKED IN THE SHOWER Oof, I'm sorry for Allison, but she does need to seek therapy now That said, I understand Allison a lot more now Ashia, the dance Maxwell's mom is mentioning is not a strip dance Rod...don't bring alcohol to a dry wedding Like, yeah, car salesmen have a sleazy reputation, but also, Rod, what else is Maxwell supposed to do other than try and reassure you? What els...

15 worst first lines for imaginary novels

What opening line could make you bail right away? Also, these are parodies of famous opening lines. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife solely to make his mother happy."—Man Austen, Pride, Prejudice, and Parentage "It was the best of times, it was the tops of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of acumen, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of true understanding, it was the season of light, it was the season of sunshine, it was the spring of hope, it was the summer of wishes."—Charles Tritens, A Tale of One City "As Gregory Sampson awoke one morning from unremarkable dreams, he found himself untransformed."—Frank Coughka, The Stagnation "Many years later, as he faced the firing manager, Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to play solitaire."—Gabriel Garsolo Márquez, One Hundred Cards of Solitaire ...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort season 3, episode 9

Honestly, I hope it's time for puppets.  Jenny, you gotta say something! Aw Pao kinda seemed into Russ for him rappelling At first I thought Patrick was jealous, but lol no, he was warning Thais that Shekinah would be Sumit, Jenny wanting you to tell her about taking out $20k loans is not her keeping you on a tight leash Thais, I do agree with Patrick's confusion as to how you didn't realize you could bring deodorant Uh oh, this build up is telling me Russ did not get Pao anything for their anniversary Thais, were you joking about Patrick taking the pregnancy test instead of you? I was pretty sure Thais wasn't pregnant because she has not recently had a child (but she could've been pregnant and the pregnancy could have sadly not resulted in another child) AHHHH PUPPETS! Rebecca, you don't have to criticize Shekinah's outfit... Archery is a fun date, I'll give Russ that I mean, honestly, I know we're teasing Russ for Pao doing better, but I would'...
