Imagine that on your kitchen counter there are two identical sandwiches.

One is labeled Shit Sandwich, and the other one is labeled BLT.

Which one of these sandwiches is better?

Which one would you rather eat?

It was bad, but I did it.

Shannon, when confronted, accuses the other person of lying.

She couldnt possibly be that horrible.

She was just misunderstood.

Why are you trying to hurt her?

This is all coming out now because Tamra and Shannon are on a path toward mutually assured destruction.

The shit sandwich metaphor is also apt because this whole episode is fixated on poop.

Between the jet lag and the terrible English food, everyone is stopped up.

Katie says her GI doctor gave her some pills that will sort them out right quick.

She gives one to Emily and tells her that it will start unclogging the pipes in about six hours.

Shannon has it even worse.

She decides she needs an enema and Katie goes to get one for her.

Heres the thing about all of the stories we learn about this episode: Tamra and Shannon did themtogether.

Well, both of them reek.

They were equally active in smearing and digging up dirt on everyone in the cast.

I dont like this whole storyline.

Should we even be talking about this?

I dont know, but this is all icky.

Oh, guess what?

Tamra also tells Emily about this when theyre in Windsor avoiding the king and his nasty sausage fingers.

Its terrible that all these arguments had to ruin a delightful traditional English Sunday roast.

Its honestly the best meal they do.

Im with Heather, Shannon being upset is kind of bullshitty.

Shannon told heron camera,so she knew this was going to get out.

So Shannon is mad that Heather shared a story that Shannon was sharing all over town.

I dont get it, but Heather apologizes and we move on.

What happens inside isnt so much a fight as a work meeting.

Its as if someone called HR and now we all need to talk about a toxic workplace situation.

Tamras plan totally backfires.

It was both of them.

Neither of them ever stopped each other, which to my mind makes them both culpable.

Finally, the BLT is possibly calling itself a shit sandwich.

This shit has to stop here.

I am not going to take this from anyone here ever again.

Its nasty and its enough.

Stand up for yourself and let both of these baddies know that theyre rotten to the core.

She says that her walking out of that door is growth.

Isnt that how she has treated every conflict thats ever happened on this here reality television program?

Its beautiful, its sweet, its totally brown.

Its the one thing in this episode that wasnt totally shitty, and it looks absolutely delicious.
