I'm all caught up. Various thoughts.
I want to like Hannah because I think she's quite stunning and I also don't believe that the edit has been kind to her and is favouring shitlids4kids, but she is also clearly a bit of a nightmare. More drama for the house but definitely a partnership that is going precisely nowhere. I do appreciate that she has acknowledged her faults and I think I'd find it wearing if my new pretend husband kept wanting to fuck off and be alone. I think the truth is (for me) that I don't particularly like 4kids I think that maybe he's not quite the great dad he thinks he is and because of that I'm inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. I need to accept that even if he is a dick - and I think he is - that doesn't mean that she isn't a dick, and I think she probably is. A bit.
I wanted to talk about Orson and Richelle but I can't because I've found out something about the couple. I could tell you what I thought when I watched the episode and that my thoughts are still very similar but even that is heading toward a spoiler because we're all human and people will think oh in what way have your thoughts changed. Towards him? Towards her? What's going on. So nowt from me because I don't want to muddy any waters.
Shitlids and Polly's not in-laws day. I really like Polly's friend. He seems like a decent human being who doesn't "tell it like it is" in order to shit stir, but will tell people what he thinks if he thinks it is for their own good/will help them make a decision in a difficult situation. Alas, it seems that Polly has never really listened to him because I think he's right about shitlids. I don't have much of an opinion about his mate who seemed pleasant enough and was right to question why Shitlids wasn't trying to continue with any sort of intimacy, including, of course, all of the sex. Lo and behold, as said above, his mate gives him the go ahead and sex happens again. Sad and inevitable. He's a twat and Polly ... I should feel more sympathy toward her because there was a time in my life when sex meant that a man really liked me because I was desirable and it was how I tried (and ultimately) failed to boost my self-esteem, but she has shown already that she's not a terribly nice person, that she is in fact a shit stirrer and so the fact that this is all going to blow up in her face doesn't bother me even a little bit.
Anyway. I am looking forward to the dinner party. The inevitable not really taking to the newbies because what do they know and we've been here longer, etc and more drama at the dinner table from Holly who is another walking disaster area.
