I keep following Shane back and forth. We see him taking a shower at the beginning of the episode, but… wait. Is that Shane’s butt? Let’s rewind. Hmm. perhaps. Let’s rewind again. There is definitely a side butt, but no complete crack. Are you sure? Let’s rewind again. Yeah, I can almost see his butt and I’m like Wayne and Garth in bed next to Madonna. I then learned that he had a dog named Jar Jar. It’s a nod to Jar Jar Binks, arguably the most hated character in Star Wars history, and I want to keep this dog off our TV screens as much as possible. Then I saw him take off his shirt and show his date his scars, and I thought, “Hmm, maybe I should keep this Shane on hand.” Then I watch literally everything he does in the rest of the episode and I can’t erase the memory of his hotness fast enough.

What happened to the two dates at his house? First, Kristen, who we just started dating. He gives her strawberries and red wine in a screw-top bottle, but the bottle is so cheap that the fabric of the SUR uniform looks expensive. As I approached her on the couch, I received a text from Karina, my next date, asking me to wait in her car. sorry? If my date asked me to wait in the car, I would wait in the car…I drove back to my house to completely get away from him. Also, didn’t Karina see Kristen leave the house? How far away did she park? And why would the man tell her to wait in the car unless he was already entertaining another woman? He then takes her upstairs to watch a movie since he has a great VHS collection. Oh my god, does he think he’s a screenwriter? He gave a no to Quentin Tarantino.

This episode is once again about guys behaving badly. So Marcus decides to give DJing a try and puts on his indoor sunglasses, but it’s so exciting that he wants to have a brief moment of brilliance and DJ James Kennedy come back and yell, “Pumptinis!” From behind the laptop. Also, why would he try to take a job from McKenna, a female DJ who already has a job? Does Lisa Vanderpump love promoting mediocre men so much that she does things that smear women? It was a rhetorical question because the answer is yes. Marcus almost interrupts Venus and Kim’s conversation, which is a very stupid conversation because Venus wants to be friends with Kim even though Venus and Marcus have said they don’t want to talk to each other. Sorry, but friendship is not like that. She can’t be friends with Venus because her useless boyfriend says no. I wish Vesta, Venus’ sister, the goddess of the hearth, would tell them that Marcus is worse than a Kleenex full of toxic snot and that they should just be friends and put that guy in a toxic waste bin and have his own place.

However, most of the bad deeds are due to cousins ​​Chris and Jason. No, not even that. It’s mostly Jason’s. In the final episode, Jason invited Angelica to meet him at TomTom after work and a girls’ night out. She shouldn’t have accepted, but she did. And he wasn’t even there when she arrived. sorry. This guy took her to a bar where he flirted with another guy in front of her, desecrated a future UNESCO World Heritage Site by yelling at her in an alley in South Africa, then invited her somewhere else and didn’t even bother showing her his overly manicured bangs? If he did that to me, I would take his picture to every bar and club in WeHo and tell them to never let him in again. I would absolutely ruin his life. What does Angelica do? She goes out on another date with him! I get it, Joan Crawford’s eyebrows are sexy, but this one looks like she’s on her 17th strike. He’s already out in his next at-bat.

He takes her to a jiu-jitsu studio and finds out she was cranking it out on Ryu in Street Fighter II, so they throw each other a little bit. I understand that Angelica is interested in this since she does Taekwondo, but can’t she go to a Taekwondo studio? Couldn’t he have told her something? I’m not even straight, and I know that the surest way to turn a woman on is to follow her expertise. He tells her that while he was holding her down, he was talking to a girl who was very important to him, but that he has since broken things off with her. what? Why would he do this? He told her many times that he would not see anyone. You have already finished this tangle. To be honest, it’s too late to score. Why bring it up? What did he want to achieve here? And right after he admits that he was just really down with Pomona’s scum (don’t say that, but she was a very nice, wholesome girl who probably came from a more decent place), he tries to kiss Angelica and she taekwondoes her way out of it.

When Audrey goes to see her the next day, she says that not only was she injured in martial arts, but she doesn’t want anything to do with Jason. Two other things come up in the conversation that require explanation and elaboration. The first is Audrey telling Angelica about her cousin’s OnlyFans account. This was brought up earlier when Natalie, who has a H and is not the manic demon nightmare girl and co-owner of SUR, told Lisa that Chris had an OnlyFans account, but she had never heard of the site. Well, yes, she has. She heard about it 15 minutes ago, when Lisa, whose producer’s hands were too heavy to lift above her knees, told Natalie to bring the OnlyFans in front of the camera and let them all talk about it.

Please know that about 8 weeks ago, I signed up for both Jason and Chris’ OnlyFans to do some research. I did it for journalism. I did it for you. Both accounts are free, but clips, videos, photos, etc. cost extra. I’ll let you all know once I can get Daddy Moneybags Vulture III to approve the cost to purchase this.

In the episode, the boys talk about how they were struggling with money when they first moved to Los Angeles, so they started scraping together money on OnlyFans, and they don’t seem to be ashamed of it at all. Nor should it be. Sex work is work, and as a lover of the arts, it would be the biggest hypocrite to say you shouldn’t do it. This seems like a new level of comfort Bravo has with adult content. Sure, Larsa Pippen and Denise Richards have been selling photos of their breasts and feet for years, but this is the first time people with pre-established hardcore content have appeared on the show. I’m here for that! I’m glad I have it! This is the way it should be and there is no shame in the game. I wonder if it would have been such a big deal to have been cast if they had been women.

Speaking of no big deal, now we have to talk about penis pumps. Audrey says that after a surfing date with Chris, she stayed at his house. (She claims to keep it PG-13, but are you really going to share a bed with a fine man like Chris and sample his products? Come on.) In the morning, she goes to take a shower and finds a penis pump in the shower, but Chris tells her it’s not his bathroom, it’s Jason’s.

Audrey explains that penis pumps are a treatment for erectile dysfunction, which may help, but misses the point. I experimented with penis pumps in an article that would never have been published in Vice when it was still cool, and it wasn’t exactly a pyramid scheme. What I learned is that the tissue of the penis is very porous, which allows it to fill with blood, expand, and become erect. The idea behind penis pumps is that the pressure causes the pores to dilate, making erections harder and bigger and expanding to a larger size. Many pumps use water and water pressure to accomplish this, which explains why they are used in showers. Regardless, the idea is that if you express milk regularly, your penis will eventually grow in size, both flaccid and erect. My research hasn’t been done long enough to determine if this is true, but that’s the idea. It makes sense that someone who creates content that says it’s better for business to have more horny members would keep a penis pump in the bathroom. Finding it in the shower may be surprising, but it’s not a big embarrassment or reason to be ashamed.

Wow, who would have thought that my knowledge of porn and penises would come in handy when watching Vanderpump Rules? And since we’re talking about porn and dicks, now’s the perfect time to get back to Shane. The entire cast heads to The Abbey, a straight gay-themed bar, but it appears they were the only ones partying there on Tuesday night, just like they were on this season’s RHOC. Shane and Angelica are both there, even though Angelica says she can’t move because Jason realigned her spine with jiu-jitsu. She told Jason that not only did he hurt her, but that they would stop having about 15 conversations about cheating and dating after one so-called date and that they would be better as friends.

Shane took a chance and slipped in next to Angelica, and the flirting quickly reached eleven. Jason and Chris are both angry at Angelica, and Chris accuses her of playing games. Well, she told Jason she just wanted to be friends and then started flirting with another guy. It doesn’t seem like a game. It seems very obvious and easy to me. They should be more pissed off at Shane, who danced with a knife on Instagram and moved on to Angelica faster than Britney Spears. By the end of the night, they had already kissed, proving that Shane could get farther with three girls in one episode than Jason could with one girl in three episodes.

As the two embrace on an empty dance floor with swirling lights, Katie Maloney Schwartz Maloney leaves Something About Her in sweatpants and Uggs with a bag full of the month’s receipts. I carry an indexer with me — no, not the binder of receipts I bring to the reunion, which includes sales, inventory, expenses, and the hard numbers that go into running a tough business. She peeks into the club, sees the children, the cameras, the lights, and sees the harsh reality of her past being reenacted with the other players. She recalls tequila shots and nasty fights, terrible boyfriends and new employees she had to avoid, uncertainty and working hard for a paycheck. It’s almost a spell, but completely illusionary. She limped to the corner and called Waymo. I was glad that the driverless car arrived almost immediately. Because she wanted to go home absolutely quietly.
