Matt brings NOTHING. Again, I have zero issues with those who follow their religion, but living in to the point of feeling above others and using it as a way to avoid accepting someone? Nope. That isn't for me.

Julie, darling, YOU'RE MARRIED! It's clear you're not happy with it, because you want to talk about hooking up with your male roommates, and it's uncomfortable. Lord... her husband shows up and all she wants to talk about is Jamie this and Jamie that.

I did crack up at Matt telling Julie they never would have had a relationship and shutting her down.

The Julie/Jamie stuff is so cringey and awkward I wondered if the show edited it to make it seem worse.  Not defending Julie, but I couldn't believe how much she was talking about Jamie to her husband and then her husband got furious over a spotify playlist?  I honestly am not understanding this situation at all.  I mean, Jamie is a good looking guy.............but he's not exactly the hottie he was in 2000 lol.

I am sure Kelly is a lovely person and someone who is delightful to spend time with in real life, but she is such a downer on the show and I think she is bringing even less than Matt.   Everything makes her uncomfortable and she has one foot out the door.  It looks like she may be getting more focus soon, but at this point she's a snooze.

Honestly, I'd go for Jamie now in comparison to 2000; much more like type now than then. I think Jamie's actions act up when he's drinking, and TPTB are trying to glaze over that fact to see a narrative. But yeah, that phone call was over a damn playlist? SMFH.

Oh, see, I don't get that from Kelley. I just think she's over Julie's bullsh!t, and has been since that night she and Melissa overheard her in the hot tub. I think that tuned her out of a experience a bit. I think she's enjoyed reconnecting with her roommates, but being around Julie has drained her (and, admittedly, I'd be drained, too).

This week's episode seemed so forced from Jamie and Julie's fake chemistry garbage to Matt and Danny and Kelley wanting to leave.

[carolineg]

Yeah, it doesn't seem like Jamie's into most of the time, but then him and Julie are hanging out and being weird.  It might be due to drinking on his part.  

With Julie's husband reacting that severely to a playlist leads me to believe her talking about Jamie 24/7 to him was edited a bit.  I assumed she talked about him quite a bit, but also spoke about the other roommates and MTV just edited that out.

As far as Kelley-she was one of my faves in the OG season.  She may be over it, but she doesn't partake in a lot of the activities and she might as well go home.  It seems like she is almost too into her image and how she's being seen to act real.

Melissa is done with the housemates and the shenanigans, LOL.

Darling... if my husband/spouse/partner ever told me I had a hall pass I would be questioning their dynamic and their perspective. Because, if I'm with you, I do not need nor want no Goddamn hall pass.

IF YOU STEAL MY SUNSHINE! SUNSHINNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Come on be my baby, tonight! Iconic. A true moment. I didn't even watched the original season, and it is still something I know.

Poor Kelley going through what she's gone through. But damn... Julie gotta push boundaries.

I think it's clear Kelley is bouncing next episode ahead of the final day together. It's sad. But I think she just has anxiety and is reminded of her first season.

I still haven't watched this week. Julie's husband giving her permission to cheat?

Jule is 100% playing a character and her husband came to support her playing that role. 

[carolineg]

I don't even understand what Julie is trying to do.  She just looks like an insane person.  The husband stuff is weird. 

I still don't really understand why Kelley is having such bad anxiety.  I get Julie is a lot, but when they played back the clips it looked like the other roommates were engaging in the conversation with Julie about porn or whatever and weren't offended.  Kelley has the absolute right to say those conversations cross her boundaries and the appropriate response from Julie would have been to respect those boundaries, but I don't understand why Kelley is freaking out so bad.  It's only a week.  She was on reality tv, she did an MTV challenge and her husband's an actor.  I understand anxiety is very serious, but (unless we are not getting the full story) Kelley has skipped out on numerous cast events, nights out, etc and picks and chooses what she wants to do.  If we are being honest, Kelley didn't bring much to the table in her OG season and I don't think I would have missed her on this if she just passed on coming back.  I remember Kelley being my favorite in her OG season, but now I am not sure why lol. 

I feel bad ragging on Kelley, but I don't really understand what her problem is or why it's so severe she can't stay an extra day.  I guess it might be an editing problem, but even with Julie being an absolute nut it seems like the cast is chilling and getting along 95% off the time.  I mean was MTV planning to spring the ex Peter on her or something?

Julie flat-out admitted in that hot tub she's doing things to CREATE a television series. That is her motive. Nothing more and nothing less. She's not authentic at all.

Editing. Kelly came out and said she left bc Julie harassed her. Julie made the experience unbearable

"This was a pattern of menacing behavior that seemed to be escalating," says Wolf, describing an incident where a female cast member allegedly "screamed" in her face and other "gross and uncomfortable" situations.

[Soapsuds]

Wow! I'm two episodes behind. 

So they cleverly edited this show. It just made no sense why Kelly was leaving but now it does and why she didn't participate in a lot of group activities.

[alwaysAMC]

Julie is straight up crazy.  This was her audition for the Challenge and to be some relevant crazy reality star and it completely took away from the point of this reunion for me.  

[carolineg]

Thanks!  This paints a very different picture.  I think this is footage they needed to show.  As a viewer who really liked Kelley, I was thinking she was freaking out about something that wasn't that big of a deal-and that the other castmates didn't seem to mind regarding Julie.  And I thought Kelley was picking and choosing what excursions she went on when she was actually gone and it looked like she just left a day early lol.

I would put Julie on a challenge honestly.  To me she's more suited for that show than this reunion. 

[Soapsuds]

Why did TRW do such a horrible job editing this mess? Why edited it too? Why did they make Kelly look bad with their editing? They should've shown what actually happened.
