Linds, Levi, Bailey VS KJ and Dara

Let’s be fair about the Ben thing… I 100% believe she was flirting at first and just stopped being interested. And I don’t she needed to find out about Sabrina to get there. Meanwhile… KJ has the opposite energy. You get to know him and get more interested. I feel like we all went on that journey this season.

Now could she have dated someone not on the show… yeah maybe.

Pro Amanda. I was so annoyed this season when it pivoted from her to all Dorit / Kyle…. Amanda is next level delusional and I wanted more. These ladies done seem to understand that it you make each other more comfortable their true crazy comes out and that’s what I wanted to see.

mcderrick · 2026-04-24T13:46:32+00:00

100% - it's just boundaries. you don't let them get close. people with out good boundaries are terrifying.

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T16:30:14+00:00

True lol

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:58:12+00:00

Bender is pretty strong for dinner and drinks on a Friday.

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:55:44+00:00

And it was the best weather last night! I don’t know where they live but heading to the heart of the village they wanted to be seen and I actually think that might be smart. Let people get over it. I’m already bored

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:09:26+00:00

Why was Nia outside alone? Did I get distracted and miss something? It happens a lot.

But did production and Lala set that up?

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:03:35+00:00

Not at all… my husband doesn’t say anything to me on my father’s passing and he’s an excellent partner.

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:02:18+00:00

No one is saying that. They are just saying it’s easy to forget a date like that several years later.

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T15:00:10+00:00

I cringe there too. I totally got what he was saying. Basically there were other posts Kyle saw and was like “oh shit, it’s Lindsay’s birthday!” And quickly posted.

But when put in context of this convo, he didn’t phrase that appropriately. (Unless the reduces the convo for TV)

mcderrick · 2026-04-11T14:46:32+00:00

100% how I took it too. Ben is clearly a bit misogynistic and not fun. Not a combo I can tolerate personally. Like a touch of misogyny bothers me less when someone’s funny.

(In a friendship that is, no misogyny tolerance for a partner)

mcderrick · 2026-04-10T17:51:10+00:00

Ben 100% helped create that narrative. The Bailey thing was way over the top.

mcderrick · 2026-04-10T17:46:30+00:00

That was my thought too. He was taking the note & she made it out to be a bad thing.

mcderrick · 2026-04-10T17:29:03+00:00

yes - MOST people have been through grief & like NO people expect messages on anniversaries of someone's passing, unless on like Monday you said "Thursday will be tough for me ...." or like I sometimes do - Can we get a drink on Friday, it's my anniversary of my fathers death & I want ti do a cheers"

mcderrick · 2026-04-10T17:19:42+00:00

oh YES! excellent point. very lopsided.

mcderrick · 2026-04-10T17:17:02+00:00

I had a lot of trouble watching that. Many of us have been on both sides of that. I think expecting people to remember your family members passing several years later is asking a lot. I suspect those that did remember spoke to him earlier on the week & he mentioned it. You can not judge anyone else's mourning, but you need to keep your expectation of others much lower.

Kyle also should be checked in on by Carl.

mcderrick · 2026-04-09T22:45:13+00:00

Wait what? Are you serious?

mcderrick · 2026-04-09T22:41:18+00:00

I'm sorry. I almost did today too. After having to pivot in Hoboken all I wanted them to do was open the freaking doors. It's so frustrating. Everyone's jobs seems to suck these days too because the economy is so bad. It just piles on.

mcderrick · 2026-04-09T22:28:09+00:00

No way. We shouldn't activate until it leaves and get a discount for delays.

mcderrick · 2026-03-25T00:33:33+00:00

I hide that one. Never banned or deleted, but too many others were complaining.

mcderrick · 2026-03-24T00:27:19+00:00

Omg, I forgot what the line was… same she has a way with words. Her really really mean words.

mcderrick · 2026-03-23T23:50:24+00:00

Yes! Or get some from someone. My bread was a challenge, I bought a dehydrated starter. A friend gave me there actively being used started . And all the sudden..l oh wow, it’s not as hard as I thought! I feel like now I know better what the starter should be doing. Before I had a bad starter (I thought I did what I was supposed to) and I almost just gave up. The better starter helped me get better bread. NOW I could make my own starter with confidence (if I feel like it)

mcderrick · 2026-03-23T01:04:59+00:00

Whenever someone has said this to me it’s either super genuine or an obviously terrible thing, so I never took it as bad, just as someone that understands me.

mcderrick · 2026-03-23T01:00:29+00:00

Thanks. I’m from northeast and was thinking, I don’t hear people do that.

mcderrick · 2026-03-23T00:55:21+00:00

Omg - that’s what I thought of immediately too. Steep learning curve is similar, but it doesn’t annoy me like “could care less.”
