1:27Ben Mandelker: It's when there's so much that happens. Hello and welcome to Watch Your Crappens, a podcast about all that crap on Bravo that we just love to talk about. This is part two of the recap. If you missed part one, go check out your podcast feed. It's right there. And without further ado, let's get right back into the recap. You know what? A secret about me for as much as I talk about big business and soap dish, I low-key love Jerry Maguire. Yes, I haven't seen it in years, but I love it. Yeah.

1:56Ronnie Karam: I mean, that was a good one. That was like a good straight guy movie. That was definitely a straight guy movie.

2:02Ben Mandelker: But there was Bonnie Hunt. That's true. I always remember.

2:07Ronnie Karam: But you know, Bonnie Hunt, I've always felt like, because everyone's like, you guys, Bonnie Hunt is the most brilliant comedian and blah, blah, blah. She's like the most underrated comic actor. And I've always really liked Bonnie Hunt. I'm not about to shit talk her. So calm down, everybody. But I've just always felt like you don't catch on because you're not like, I need more camp. you know she's dry midwestern yeah she's too she's too like i need more camp like if you're going to be like a gay icon i need more from you well she's got those bangs here's the thing with

2:38Ben Mandelker: bonnie hunt back in 2006 um i was getting signed i was fledgling young hope hope to be take over a Hollywood by storm screenwriter and I got signed by an agency and I went to the agency to have my meeting to meet with them. And I rode the elevator up with Bonnie Hunt and she was very Midwestern folksy. And she started asking me questions like, Oh, hi, how's it going? What's your name? You here? Well, you, what are you here for? I was like, well, I'm about to, I'm about to meet with these agents and I'm hoping that I signed with them. And I don't know why suddenly started opening up to Bonnie Hunt.

3:14Ben Mandelker: It's a very long elevator ride, apparently. And then we both were in the lobby, and I think her agent was like Ari Emanuel himself. And I could be wrong. I could be elevating the story. But he came out to get her, and she's like, oh, by the way, this is Ben Mandelker. He's a lovely young screenwriter, and he's going to be a huge success in Hollywood. So take good care of him. I mean, is Bonnie Hunt not an angel or what? Okay?

3:40Ronnie Karam: Okay, I like Bonnie Hunt more now. That's cute.

3:43Ben Mandelker: She didn't even know who I was, but she advocated for me with, in my mind, Ari Emanuel, but it could have been just someone else. But either way, she advocated for me with Barack Obama. Can you even believe it?

3:54Ronnie Karam: And that's when I was asked to come into the White House in the future. Well, you know, that's pretty cute. So I take it all back.

4:01Ben Mandelker: Well, there's, you were not.

4:03Ronnie Karam: But that's like the best performance I've seen of Bonnie Hunt was in that elevator. No, that is actually really sweet. And you do love a good celebrity elevator story. and like you'll see somebody on an elevator or an escalator like i'm not going to discount the escalators but you will see somebody at a target and then you'll love them forever because you saw them on an escalator and that's just how it's like you're like i saw them they were on an elevator and now i'm going to go to the mat for that person but this one added this one was also very

4:31Ben Mandelker: supportive yeah well i had a good elevator ride with emilu harris once that was a good one i talked with her but i also had one with mark walberg in the um elevator at target and uh

4:43Ronnie Karam: i'm looking at you huge still huge mark walberg fan have a poster and we didn't have an interaction so i can't go to bat for him for that that worked out well he turned out to be a real great person

4:56Ben Mandelker: mark walberg yeah real real wonderful i think that's the end of my elevator really healthy for the gays.

5:01Ronnie Karam: Really good to the gays. Okay, so Wes is talking to Ben. What?

5:07Ben Mandelker: I once rode an elevator with... It was Carly

5:10Ronnie Karam: Rose. This is what happened. You say elevator, and then it's like your autobiography comes out. You should write an autobiography on people you've been in an elevator with.

5:20Ben Mandelker: Writing in elevators with boys.

5:23Ronnie Karam: The Ben-evators. People, stories about Ben being on the elevator with people. you do have a lot of them oh yes all right so people who aren't elevating these are two people who are like lying on chairs and it's west and ben so west is like um can i say something like if me and siara together and like sabrina's there you know could you like tell her to like calm down like maybe just like tell her not to like not tell us to like date in the moment because like we're like two steps away from that point and i just want you to like chill you know what i mean like she's just such a lover but like i don't want to give sierra the wrong impression you know like i mean we've liked each other but you know i know what happened she can't she can't have she can't handle like dating casually i just don't want her to get i want to give her the wrong impression which is why i'm gonna go stare into her eyes uh in a couple's fire in just a minute make out with her you fucking douchebag west you fucking this is typical west like he's gonna sit down and he's gonna tell america i'm clearly not into sierra look how not into sierra i am everybody and then he's gonna go with his action show how completely into sierra she is so he can mind fuck her and then make her look crazy to the rest of us you fuck you're not that smart west okay we can tell because you've never gotten your haircut right once okay it's been three years when he's like

6:51Ben Mandelker: um you know it's like really hard like it's pretty clear that our baseline is like really like being close and flirty and like we have really good sexual tension and everything. And like, all I want to do is like be like around her and everything. But like, I'm also not like trying to portray that. I'm like a boyfriend. That's like not what I'm doing, but like, why not? Like you have this great, you just listed everything. Reason why, like, why wouldn't you be a boyfriend to this? Like this, this, this amazing person, like, like Sierra is like drop dead gorgeous, but I shouldn't even leave with the fact that she's dropped dead gorgeous.

7:21Ben Mandelker: Just how about we leave the fact that she seems like a really interesting, cool, good person. She's building a house. She's saving this relic of her family down in North Carolina to rehabilitate it because generational wealth is very important. And she's doing all these great things. She's thinking beyond and above herself. I don't have to go down on a resume of why Sierra is a catch and why he's not a catch. Why would you not want to portray yourself as a boyfriend? But the thing is, we also know this is bullshit because here he is saying, I'm not trying to portray that I'm a boyfriend. While at this moment, he is the one who has released a joint statement with Amanda saying we're giving our relationship a real shot.

8:00Ben Mandelker: And he's in a committed relationship with Amanda. So you are able to portray that you're a boyfriend, but you just don't want to do it with Sierra, which has all sorts of layers of problematic stuff attached to it.

8:12Ronnie Karam: well i mean even if you don't want to be in a relate like that's fine if you don't want to be in a relationship with sierra i don't care like i mean i think you're an idiot but i don't care but it's the fact that you're leading her on to think that you do and don't say that you're not be just because you have little scenes like this because you totally do and we all know the reason you're not doing it is because you have an ass pass sponsored by bravo which you have as long as you're on television and you're going to use that ass pass to his fullest and i don't think he's in a relationship with amanda either i think he's cheating all over the place with her too i mean apparently we find out on the reunion that he's had a girlfriend this whole summer west how about that so like this guy's just full of shit and i don't want to hear it anymore from

8:54Ben Mandelker: him i'm so sick of this fucking guy he's not he's not motivated by friendship or the potential of a relationship with cr he's motivated uh by getting out of the doghouse with america he's very he's very conscious of his public image. That's what I sincerely believe. That being said, by the way, I do think it's probably fair that he was like, can you tell Sabrina to stop trying to be like, you guys should be together, you guys should be together. Because I imagine Sabrina's like that. She's like, oh my god, you guys should totally date. She is like that.

9:24Ronnie Karam: We see her like that on TV. Like, are we going on a doubles date now? You guys made up? Oh my god. Can you tell Sabrina to chill?

9:30Ben Mandelker: I think that's actually even from West, I think it's a fair request.

9:36Ronnie Karam: Yeah. one of the few it's not the request that's making me crazy it's the fact that he's saying this and then in about 10 minutes he's going to end up at a fire after hours while ben and sabrina cuddle on one couch and then he and sierra cuddle staring at each other's eyes on the other couch and then make out you know it's like well what is it because it looks like it's about to be a foursome in 10 minutes so he's like please stop giving everybody the wrong impression you're giving

10:02Ben Mandelker: everybody the wrong impression yeah i really just i just i hate this hedging that he's doing because that's what it is he's just hedging he's like okay i'm out of the doghouse but now that i'm here i kind of like the chase is over so now it's like whoa whoa whoa i don't want to be tied down and it's just it's such bullshit it's so immature it's just it's a waste of all of our time too we spent all this time watching this whether we're rooting or not we dedicated time to have this guy now be like, oh, but I don't want to be portrayed as a boyfriend because I just don't want to break her heart like that.

10:39I was like, oh, get over yourself.

10:43Ronnie Karam: Yeah, agreed. So fuck this guy. So now Amanda's like, Carl, I have one request tonight. I think we bring back what we used to do and we all jump in the pool. And Carl's like, I thought we were going to talk. He's like, can we talk? I'm like, no, I'm going to go to the pool. So now in the DJ room Bailey's looking for Levi Because that's her real love

11:07Ben Mandelker: Bailey says the thing that America was saying A few weeks ago Where'd Levi go? Where'd Levi just go? Where's Levi?

11:16Ronnie Karam: So she's looking for her And then a girl's talking to Jesse And she's like oh my god you don't have a jacket? But it's a ski party

11:26Ben Mandelker: He's like no for you anything I'm really glad I could keep it warm And he takes off his faux fur jacket And then people are eating pizza And there's like hugs And Kyle's like hey Lindsay How was your igloo chat? I mean it was good I knew I made that igloo for something Yeah I mean after watching you build it I was like that's where I knew I wanted to talk to Carl In a small geodesic dome That he would be trapped in

11:52Ronnie Karam: I just wanted to get your house some TV time He's like I love you Lindsay So then Sierra and Amanda come in And they're just eating It's still a party scene So it's like woohoo And so Kyle's asking He's like dude can we just have a moment Amanda Can we just have a moment And she just walks past him And Lindsay's like um you want to talk to her And he's like well I mean not I guess Okay but what if she doesn't want to talk I mean I think you should try to talk to her And see if she wants to talk to you But if she doesn't don't Okay

12:26Ben Mandelker: I just, okay, America, look at me. I'm going to cry. I just ruined the last weekend of the summer. It's not the greatest feeling in the world. And I'm kind of scared of what she's going to say. I mean, like, yeah, what are we going to do? Like have like another conversation about how to recover from this? No, I just feel like I just gave her everything she needed to kind of like walk out the door, you know? As long as she doesn't take my speakers, I'll be happy.

12:49Ronnie Karam: Yeah, you did give her everything she needs to walk out the door. Now help her walk out the door is what I say. so um people are doing shots on the luge yvonne's checking with carl and he's like oh my night's been transformational it was good i learned a lot you know i needed to have some conversations that i haven't had in a long time it was one little step in the right direction today uh you know one small step for man but a huge step for lindsey kind it was huge so it was big big deal

13:19Ben Mandelker: brick and mortar one soft step for man one really soft step for mankind well i'm really happy to hear that carl thanks a lot so then uh sierra's enjoying some chicken wings and um amanda says i'm gonna do something crazy and this actually by the way i thought this would be a little alarming Amanda puts the chicken wing she dips it into the dip into the ranch and then she like puts the chicken wing in her mouth and she like licks the ranch off of it like it's a lollipop but doesn't eat the chicken wing and I was like first of all that's a waste of a wing you basically just put your mouth all over this wing without even eating it which I don't approve of but also like this pings on my unauthorized unlicensed radar of like Like, is this how we should be eating food?

14:12Ben Mandelker: I don't. I didn't love this for her.

14:16Ronnie Karam: I was like a little concerned, honestly. Yeah. And they're like, that was weird. Amanda. She's like, well, I'm being silly because I don't want to acknowledge the reality of the situation with Kyle. I will not eat. Sorry, it's Lindsay. I will not eat a chicken wing until I resolve things with Kyle. So Sabrina is talking to you. Yeah. By the way, this is Amanda's version of silly. Licking chicken wings.

14:41Ben Mandelker: Wasting chicken wings that someone else could have eaten. Thanks.

14:44Ronnie Karam: So Sabrina checks in with Kyle. He's not doing well. He's like, I haven't seen my wife. And so they're like, oh my God, go talk to her. Go talk to her. So then Amanda is still talking to the girls. And she's like, well, I'm sad about Kyle, but I'm really so grateful for the both of you, you guys. Because you guys say what I think and you speak it out loud. And like, you know, you're never saying anything that like I don't actually feel. Oh my God, can we have one fucking night that's not about you crying? For fuck's sake. It's like the finale party. Leave them alone.

15:16Ben Mandelker: Sierra's like, I like, you know what? I think I really like Wes. I'd like to have a relationship with him. Oh my God, you did it again. Thank you, Sierra. Just.

15:27Ben Mandelker: I think I'm going to fuck Wes. Oh my God. It's like you just keep saying the things that's on my mind. Yeah. Sierra's like, I just want you to be happy, Amanda. And she's like, I know. I don't know. I've said this before, but I fear that I'm not enough for anyone else. And they're like, oh, stop it. That's not true. Well, you know who else feels like that?

15:47Ronnie Karam: That chicken wing. How you made it feel all used and now it can't be eaten by anybody else just sitting there. Am I even good enough? What am I doing here?

15:59Ben Mandelker: Coding of saliva. Thanks a lot. So Amanda's like, guys, it's not your job to boost me up. But we love you. We love doing this. I'm just so tired of you guys having to always console me. I'm like, yeah, look at how much you are. You're absorbing all of their energy, and you're going to turn around and do what you do, Amanda.

16:18Ronnie Karam: You're a spiritual vampire, you know? I'm so sad. Like, I feel so bad. Like, you guys are always having to worry about me, which is why I'm bringing it up again right now. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial.

16:35Ben Mandelker: Ronnie, do you remember my patio before the Worlds of Wayfair? It was just a desolate, dusty, dirty, sad space where you'd sit down and be like, oh God, I ruined my pants and my shorts with all the dirt on this grimy furniture. It was awful, awful, awful, awful.

16:54Ronnie Karam: It was just a tumbleweed blowing through there.

16:56Ben Mandelker: But then Wayfair came along and now I've got really cool stuff out there. I got cool chairs. You know what I love? I got some Acapulco chairs. They're those chairs that are sort of like, they look egg-shaped with like the cables and you sit in them and you're like, this isn't going to support me. And it does.

20:21Ronnie Karam: Whatever.

20:23Ben Mandelker: So then Ben puts his pizza down on the chair. He goes, fuck the pizza. It's like, this is the grave that I dug. And then we see Sierra saying, you are still so fucking young. If you want to divorce Kyle and move on to someone else, you can, Amanda. And because you need to start taking care of yourself before anyone else can. And then back to Kyle and Ben and Sabrina. And they're hugging him. and he's like, dude, I thought I was going to have a chance to talk to Amanda tonight, but I don't think you want to talk to me now, if I can be honest.

20:54Ronnie Karam: Sabrina's like, go get her. That's your girl. It doesn't matter what she's doing. Do what I do with Sierra. Just say, I love you. Don't be afraid. Let the fear out. Find your true person.

21:08Ben Mandelker: Go after her. Get her. So Kyle goes towards Amanda and Mia's like, Amanda, it's time to put your big girl pants on. and go do it, go do it. Enough, it's enough. Time's up. You gotta just go do something with your life here. And Sierra's like, honestly, I think living alone would be really great. Move out, move out, move out. So Kyle walks up and they're like, oh, hey Kyle. Hi.

21:32Ronnie Karam: And he's just standing there like, oh, oh, oh, I just wanted to say hi. Okay. Okay, cool. She's like, okay, let's go jump in the pool.

21:47Ben Mandelker: So I guess this break Is a break up Kyle we already did Jerry Maguire Okay So then they're like Okay time to do the pool Thing let's go jump in the pool So they Kyle comes up and Tries to hug Amanda and he's like Can I hug you? No

22:06Ronnie Karam: We can talk tomorrow He's like what's the dealio

22:11Ben Mandelker: Well you apologize For something completely irrelevant what i so i apologize for like spinning sick beats on the stereo system i mean if i can't apologize for that what can i apologize for how could you apologize and then still say dilly oh

23:15Ronnie Karam: And he started sobbing. And I was like, okay, close the laptop. Close the laptop. Wow.

23:21Ben Mandelker: Wow. Yeah, he is definitely a crier. It's funny that he's suddenly having a moment of restraint. He's like, it's been 10 years. I feel like the severity of my actions have just compounded and thrown a wrench in things and could possibly lead to us not coming back as a couple. So now everyone is like, okay, everyone, let's jump in. They jump in the pool joylessly. And Kyle's like, it's just a lot of memories. I don't know. I've just been weighing down on me because I don't want what we have here to just all of a sudden disappear. And the thought we might come back not as a couple. This house makes me realize that I could have actually had all these years not as a couple and had so much more fun.

23:59Ben Mandelker: I waste so much time. Oh my God, I just can't stop by crying.

24:02Ronnie Karam: I think about it. Now I'm going to show you. I'm so sad about not being good with Amanda that I'm going to go out now without her. Oh, Kyle. So everybody is going to bed. The party's over. Some people are going out. Some people are not going out. Sabrina and Ben are making out in bed. Yvonne's in bed with Lindsay chatting, talking about making fun, you know, making fun of the fact that they're sleeping where Carl and Lindsay had their last sleep together. And then Carl's talking to Matt, who's Katie's husband, in his room. and he's like oh i didn't realize the flow you guys had you got yeah you've got some really nice color there bro and he's like um yeah i'm a surfer man he's like yeah you are looks good uh well is that a timeline oh my god oh my god i'm feeling things i never felt before

And well, actually they're just not in their beds, but they come back at like five 30 in the morning.

30:04Ben Mandelker: I'm Jake Stouck, co-founder and CEO of Serval. We built Serval to automate the IT work that slows companies down. Onboarding, password resets, access to applications, my laptop stopped working. While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. IT desperately wants to automate this work, and that's why they need Serval. You just tell Serval what you want to automate in plain English, and it's built. No drag-and-drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked, and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Serval, IT becomes the AI engine powering the entire company.

31:07Ben Mandelker: so he like reaches over to kiss her and she's like nope he's like uh it's like jesus i feel like i tried to talk to you multiple times yesterday and you were just like not having it it's like yeah because you woke up and didn't acknowledge anything in the morning like what about your day and he's like well i just thought we'd have a chance to talk about the bigger picture. So, Amanda's like, no. No, not until the very, very end when we can have our own scene. So, now Lindsay's cleaning with Yvonne and KJ and Dara are hanging out and talking about his mustache. And now Jesse's in West Room. This is where Jesse jumps on Wes in the bed and he's like, he's just on top of him.

31:49Ben Mandelker: And Wes is like, well, it's been your favorite summer in order. Probably this one. yeah me too number one yeah so then mia and sierra are talking in bed and mia's like what time did

32:04Ronnie Karam: you come to bed and she says six she goes six who are you with she's like west we might have kissed

32:10Ben Mandelker: she's like god god damn it hey west i was shock yadoed when you guys were noodling in the corner I was so shocky-on-o'd when you guys were connoodle-acious in the corner, Rudy am I right, guys?

32:30Ben Mandelker: I can't help it by the way I have to admit I do enjoy Jesse's slang he does a lot of slang and I want to hate on it but as a ardent fan of the TV show Happy Endings, I reluctantly must admit i do love this slang

32:53Ronnie Karam: shocky i don't i was shocky i don't uh so west is like well you're just like trying to get your bearing straight and there's like people making out all over the place so i was like oh did you even see or even have a conversation what do you mean no what the freaking crappy auto

33:15Ben Mandelker: what the crappuccino is that wow that's

33:23Ben Mandelker: what sort of i'm really ran out of coffee drinks huh after macchiato and cappuccino it really just goes down to flat white there's nothing left after that well what a crap espresso not as fun you didn't even have one conversation

33:39Ronnie Karam: that is cold bruyato bro

33:45Ben Mandelker: so in me and Sierra's room Sierra's like obviously there has to be some type of conversation cause like it's fun but we're like not trying to end up in the same fucking boat and predicament you know as the last time and then it cuts over to Bailey telling Levi that she looked really good last night again she's just talking to a plant at this point and then um Lindsay and Yvonne are finished cleaning the kitchen and Yvonne's like wow we did really good in this kitchen and she's like yes but it's still vain is guessing i'm getting out of here hey back up to here with us so you're gonna hit her up and hang out in the folioso what are you thinking is it automarita time for you too

34:22Ronnie Karam: it's like i don't know i'm just a boy i really don't know what to do he's like well you can only do it if you're like a hundred and ten percent in bro game it's like you are so correct yeah you are

34:34Ben Mandelker: like so correct but like this here's what's here's what's like frustrating about this is that west is claiming that like yeah he likes sierra but he doesn't want her to think that like we're gonna get back together because he doesn't want to be in a position where like if he's with her that um he will get some sort of cold feet or he doesn't want to break her heart he doesn't want to put her in a position where he may break her heart a second time but then the thing that's causing him to potentially break her heart is him being concerned about breaking her heart so like it's it's just like it's so maddening how stupid this all is yeah it's stupid because her thing is

35:17Ronnie Karam: i don't want him to just do this for tv and then we go back to the fall and he pretends i don't exist which is what he's planning to do and his thing is like oh well we're gonna if anything happens she's gonna think we're boyfriend and girlfriend and i just want to casually date and she can't take that which means he still wants to fuck everybody he can and still have her for the publicity you know so yeah uh so then uh mia is talking to sierra she's like yeah i remember what it was like when you and west broke up i mean you i was coming over and you were crying and just being a shell of yourself and she's like well goddamn she goes well yeah but it's true and sierra says well rarely have i made the same mistake twice so i only twice only twice it's

35:58Ben Mandelker: Usually four times. Yeah. So Mia's like, I knew I was going to get along with him and I hate that for me. I absolutely hate that for me. I tried so hard. I'm like, ugh. But like, I get why Sierra likes West. He's a really good guy. He's cool. He's funny. He's charming. I just hate what he did to my friends. So Mrs. Doubtfire, better behave with karma, okay? Like, oh, Mia, you're going to regret that entire little monologue.

36:27Ronnie Karam: Yeah, so Sierra opens the window and sees Wes down there. And she's like, oh, my God, he's still fucking got his ski hat on. Hello. He's like, good morning. See you at breakfast. Yeah. So then Amanda is struggling to open the front door because it's the front door, but also it's Amanda. So it's like, who's at fault here? And then in the kitchen, she comes in with her bags. And everybody's just getting ready to go. Wes is in another great outfit, fur vest with no shirt underneath and ski goggles. on his head. It's very West. He's like, guys, I'm like a wacky boy.

37:02Ben Mandelker: Yeah, he is a wacky boy, you know? And Amanda struggles to open the front door. The front door is back. Something bad is about to happen. It is swelling.

37:12Ronnie Karam: So they all gather for breakfast, and Lindsay gives the speech. She's like, does anybody want to give a speech? Because it's like the end. And everyone's like, not really. So she does. And she's like, okay, I'll talk. Fuck it. No, I have nothing prepared. So she pulls out a stack of stickies. Um, I had a great summer with everyone here. That's one. Jesse, you can have that one. I've loved meeting all the new people. Um, that's for you. I loved hanging out with all of my old friends. That's for you. Carl is still a raging idiot who should never have divorced me. Okay, that one is for you. And we've had a couple of relationships for him.

37:45Ronnie Karam: We've got KJ and Tara, Ben and Sabrina, Wes and Sierra. Oh my God, did I just say that?

37:53Ben Mandelker: And so everyone's like clapping at her speech and everything. And she also says, girl, I had a talk last night. Yeah. And by the way, if he could, I was thinking we could just do one big group hug. He's like, the hugs. He loves the hugs. Oh, my God. Nothing could be harder than a big group hug. Wow. My dreams have come true. Ten different people hugging me at once. Oh, yeah. Hub house hug. Oh, yeah.

38:21Ronnie Karam: Yeah, when she announces West and Sierra as a couple, Amanda's just like, she cuts to Amanda's face. So everybody says, one, two, three, family. And that's cute. I remember when we did that at Applebee's. No one still speaks to each other from then. Can you believe it? Can you believe it? It's always believed at waiting tables when you're like, we're family. No, we're not. We're waiters.

38:47Ben Mandelker: Well, Ronna, you were the bad apple, remember? That's true. I was a bad apple. They're probably all still hanging out.

38:52Ronnie Karam: Because I refuse to dust license plates on walls. And I stand by that all these years later.

38:59Ben Mandelker: Yeah. Well, you know what? It's important to have boundaries. So everyone's packing up and Bailey is talking to Carl. She's like, hey, text me and let's do something cool in the city. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, I definitely, definitely want to text you. I'm definitely attracted to you. Yeah. Because I'm really dead zeros. Yeah, I would love to. You know, before we hang out, have you considered putting maybe just your leg into a tanning bed? Just need a tan line.

39:24Ronnie Karam: That's all I need from you right now. But when you do that, be sure to tie ribbons around parts of your legs. You have lots of tan lines. It's like, well, I may have been unlucky in love this summer in the traditional sense, in that I'm not in a relationship. Is that what this show is? Like, I don't like that this show is like you're supposed to come in and find a relationship. I don't like that. Just go have fun and fuck off in the summer. She's like, but I made so many friends. I have sweet Carl who's just restored my faith in men, and it means the entire world to me. I mean, just being around someone who's just good is invaluable in my healing process.

40:00Ronnie Karam: Thank you. That was my ending monologue. Thank you, everybody. Thank you for coming. It girl.

40:05Ben Mandelker: All right, Levi, let's get out of here. It's like you are pulling the microwave out of the kitchen. so Kyle Kyle is everyone's still packing and Amanda's like Kyle's always so slow because everyone's done but Kyle still needs to pack up all the DJ equipment and everything and Lindsay's like have you guys talked yet? I mean no not fully I mean you guys should talk because this is the last scene of the entire season and then we have to go into a spinoff

40:33Ronnie Karam: so probably should do it right now I tried to make Carl cry and have a fan, but he didn't do it, so somebody has to pick up the slack. Thanks.

40:43Ben Mandelker: And so then West is like, bye. Are you crying, you little pussy boy? I was in ROTC. He's like, I'm about to, because I'm a little boy. And so then West hugs Amanda, and he gives her a long hug, and then Sierra walks up, and Lynn's like, Oh my God, you're like crying. Oh, Sierra, oh my God, you're crying too? You guys all need to go to military camp. What's going on here?

41:04Ronnie Karam: So Sierra takes Amanda, and she's like, I love you. I love you a lot. It's like, yeah, see you later. It was nice working with you. And she shakes her hand.

41:14Ben Mandelker: Woof. That was actually a sad moment for me because it was really like, yeah, it was nice working with you. And now this is it. And they're like saying, I love you so much. And Sierra's saying, I'm so proud of you and you're special and beautiful and you're important and your voice matters. And Amanda's like, I have very good friends. You remind me of that every day. And we're like, no, no. um so now lindsey goes to kyle's room and she's like are you crying also god what's going on in this house every single person is crying how many people do i have to drag into the igloo god damn

41:45Ronnie Karam: it so out front west and sierra have another long hug they just hug and hug and sierra's like i love you and he says love you too i mean oh we're not in the same car that's crazy right god you guys exchanged I love you's so then West hugs Mia and she's like take care of my girl he's like I know she goes I'll kill you if you don't I know no I really will I know I'll fuck her over in a week sucker

42:19Ben Mandelker: yep so everyone gets in the car to leave and Amanda's like you wanna talk now normally what happens is that on Summer House at the end of the season they shut off all the cameras like it's the end of a season of 24 but this time they shut off all the cameras except for one. And it's on Amanda and Kyle. So they go out to the front steps and Amanda's like, how are you doing? And it's like, I mean, I literally feel sick to my stomach. Like on the beach, Sarah and I had a chat and she more or less implied that you guys had talked about us needing time apart. And like in the back of my mind, I'm just like, it's been lurking all weekend.

42:55Ben Mandelker: It like got the best of me the other night. I'm like, well, if it's any consolation, you guys taking time apart is also the same as you guys being in your current relationship.

43:02Ronnie Karam: don't spend time with you that's true and it's hard for me to feel for kyle when he's like yeah it's just been killing me all week and i really wanted to work on things which is why i went out last night till six in the morning yeah seriously and said fuck you to you yeah so man is like i know she brought it up to me too and i had no intentions like i heard what she was saying and i was like yeah maybe one day but we're in a good place right now and like things are moving in the right direction but then i see you snap on saturday night and like the way that you look doesn't mean it just said fuck you and then almost fought Carl like that's the shit that scares me Kyle and I just feel like it pushes us back to square one where it's like what is forever gonna look like for us

43:44Ben Mandelker: well I just feel like I've let everyone down like you, me the people at the club in the Hamptons I wish I could have played my remix of Mr. Mr. for them I had like such high hopes for this summer and like i don't know it didn't work out yeah and i feel like yeah

44:03Ronnie Karam: i feel like leaving this weekend i want to like close this chapter and start another chapter he's like well i don't know what to do me too that's why something has to be different like i've we need time apart right now and i'm gonna stay a couple of nights in a hotel because something is fundamentally wrong in our relationship and two nights in a hotel is gonna fix it

44:29Ben Mandelker: uh okay well fine we need to figure it out like what's going on with us well i haven't been able to find the words wait hold on i got the words fuck you oh damn i don't know why i keep on doing that but i just feel like everything i put my heart and soul into is just like i don't know like our relationship everything just feels like it's crumbling it's just like it's the worst feeling i know and like all i want to do is be here for you and support you and protect you and help you and i'm gonna do that by having sex with west and right now our relationship is like not is like what it just needs to be nurtured and protected and helped and i can't be like looking out for you anymore i need space okay and i'll see you in therapy on wednesday on a

45:14Ronnie Karam: different tv show and he's like all right well i'm gonna throw up you were also out drinking till six in the morning so it's like yeah part like which part and he's like i just never thought in my right mind you would have thought i'd be dry or i never thought i'd be driving out of here by myself it's like yeah kyle that's what it comes down to you have to drive your own hundred thousand

45:35Ben Mandelker: dollar car home he's like do you have that cool brush i bought off of amazon before just want to nap before i drive off by myself need to sweep off i need dust oh kyle and then we go into the city
