What does it say that the best moments of this episode were all about the past?

Girl, that tea is not hot.

Its been sitting on Andy Cohens bedside table for ten years.

Its been there longer than his PReP prescription.

But it seems like this episode was resting on it.

But when it becomes too rote, then it just becomes stale.

Look at the episode.

We get the women going on a trip.

They have to pick rooms and there is drama.

Or maybe two seasons ago.

All chaps are made without an ass.

Thats like saying flightless car or remorseful Danielle Staub.

Its right there in the design.

You dont need to say that they are assless.

Thats not to say there wasnt much fun to unpick in this episode.

Matt was arrested for a domestic-violence incident with Gina that was covered on the show.

She said she wanted her children to see that bad actions have consequences.

She says she is helping him get his record expunged to save his family.

Anyway, the debate is about Jenn and Ryans relationship and just how faithful either of them can be.

Apparently, Ryan is a bit of a playboy who has cheated on every serious partner hes ever had.

Ryan is going to sleep with other women.

That is just a fact.

He is going to do it whether or not Jenn likes it.

(God, Im just as nostalgic as this episode.)

This reminds me of when I was in high school.

First of all, rules like this erroneously assume that everyone is heterosexual.

Secondly, if teens want to fuck, theyre going to fuck.

Theyll fuck in your laundry room while youre making Mac N Cheese in the kitchen.

Theyll fuck in the car.

Theyll fuck in the park.

Theyll fuck in the gym locker room.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

The final fight is one of the pettiest, silliest, and dumbest of fights.

Its one that I would usually love, but it does feel likeMalibu Countrytake two.

Im sorry, but Im with Heather on this one.

They offered her a role, but then they needed to see her work?

Shes too good for them, and then shes not good enough.

This is all bound up in old ideas, old expectations, old feuds and rivalries.
