Lea was so likable on the first episode. She started going downhill being friends with Sydney. Now she’s being a mean girl by telling Madina how she should act. Madina and Maria squashed the beef so idk why the other two want to continue the drama.

I have to say my favorite line came from Sydney when she said that she was going home to her cats 😂😂😂 Sydney could be a new Cat Woman 🦹 villain

The beginning with the clip of an older Sydney, aka Karen, is sooooo funny! I can't stop watching it! "Dobermannnnnn" LOL! OMG! 😂😂😂

The planes trains and automobiles reference 😂 I swear I keep getting impressed at all these references!

Lea bullying Madina for not being mean enough to Maria: "I hold myself and my friends to a higher standard than you do." Oh, snap. In the next episode, however, after spending the day obsessing about Maria only for the latter to continue growing closer to Joey and be (group date rose) rewarded for it, Lea suddenly has a moment of fleeting clarity, recognizing what's been long obvious to others: "my heart is in my ass," she says. I'm more surprised by the self-awareness than by her racing to fill Sydney's shoes as the house's tone gestapo. People impressed by her burning the steal-a-date advantage in ep.1 must have failed to cringe over how clumsily and with what protracted reluctance she did so. She could have told Joey how lucky and honoured she felt at even being offered such a gimmick, could have noted apologetically what an affront to him such frivolous shenanegans represented -- day 1 and already his future wishes have been blatantly disrespected, treated like a game. In her shoes I'd be saying 'dude... I'm so sorry production isn't taking you more seriously'. But I'm sure they're not allowed, or comments like that get edited out. But she might have assured him that she really wanted to get to know him & hopefully develop a connection they'd both want to build on, could have ripped the card in front of him or told him, with a laugh, that she'll keep it in case the day comes when after their 1st 1 on 1 he wants another such, could have then spent a few minutes actually focusing on getting to know him. But instead she wallowed in her insecurity and angst, crying to Joey about the unearned steal-a-date card as if it were a serious option, got an easy pity-rose, and yet even after their talk, she continued to clutch onto the card like a life preserver, still crying and deliberating over it, before finally figuring out that using it would mean frustrating Joey's intentions, and the clear path to taking advantage of such a huge gift (by now barely still available to her) was obviously taking the high road. Which she FINALLY did, with minimal warmth and interaction with Joey himself, giving a little speech more for the benefit of viewers or perhaps for the other girls, making it all very introspective. It never seemed to cross her mind for a moment to even question her entitlement, or to apologize for how such manipulations might make Joey feel. It smacked of narcissism. A woman with interest in Joey might have shyly offered him the card with the playful idea that maybe he'd give it back to her someday: conveying interest, humility, intelligence and integrity. Instead, she threw away that opportunity and reduced the card's value to a mere integrity signifier. Pretty damn easy integrity test given the sheer obtuseness required of the alternative -- and barely, just barely passed. I suspect this sort casting is a producer plant -- not that emotionally immature young fame chasers are hard to find, but when someone's chances are slim and/or they aren't interested in a rush engagement to a virtual stranger anyway, it can't be too difficult to purchase some well-timed catty drama, and I'm sure in exchange for rings, wardrobe and other perks, a show lead can be induced to keep someone around until at least hometowns.

Sydney HAS to be a producer plant... Sydney is besties with Ashley Iaconetti who was on the Bachelor competing for Chris Soules on S19.. She apparently pulled strings to get her on the show. The producers probably told her to pick a fight with someone, ANYONE. Then her cheerleading "talent" was so over the top that no one could take it seriously. They told her to stir sh*t up. It's so obvious 💀

Love your recaps🥰🥰🤩

lea if you had to deal with what maria has had to deal with you would be crying to or extremely annoyed

Yeah that part where Maria attacked Sydney was crazy. When she body slammed her into the pool and had her in a choke hold…… damn that poor baby

Sidney is hilarious. I know they are out there, in real life, but she overdid it so much that I just 😂😂😂😂. Completely like the Doberman woman LOL.

What the heck are we missing yall!? All the grls on Syds side like Maria did do something or say something that we didn't see. Im so lost

That Karen clip is hilarious, her screaming “dobermannn!” At that dog that is clearly not a Doberman sent me

Lea getting involved might’ve been her last ditch effort to get to BIP 😂

I'm glad you mentioned the salmon jacket! When I saw that, I was like IT HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆 Brotherhood of the traveling salmon jacket 🤣

Sydney is a psycho. She’s so unlikeable. I love Maria! She’s got a fun personality and she’s putting up with these mean girls. I feel for her. Go Maria!!! ❤

I wish poor Maria wasn't getting this edit tbh, I really like her and Joey and it seems that she's really there to get to know him and build a relationship and she's so sweet with the other girls. To think she'll get eliminated all bc of unnessecary drama is so dumb.

I was rooting for Lea but she’s down at the bottom where Sydney is. Heck I thought I wouldn’t like Jess the whole season but she’s improved since the first episode thanks to the mean girls overpowering her

To me, it seemed like Jess was "team Sydney" when she was talking to Lea. There were a few others, too. I don't get it.

I relate to this so much

Omg the priest thing was vile!!

I cannot wait for the women tell all where Sydney has to watch where Maria did literally nothing

Honestly I am so frustrated with this drama. Maria really hasn't done anything. The worst you could say is she should have kept her thoughts about Medinas worries to herself. I feel so bad for her. I know we don't see everything and it's possible she's causing trouble that's been edited out. I can only judge what I can see.
