There, its out there.
Theres no taking it back.
Was he a dick to his fiancee Amanda in the past?
Can he be a thoughtless tool?
But still my love for him knows no bounds.
Kyle is just in it for the good times.
There is a guilelessness to Kyle that I find incredibly appealing.
I want Kyle to do things to my body that I usually onlyimagine Tom Sandoval doing to Tom Schwartz.
Kyle even got me the closest to crying I have been at a Bravo show since Bobby Zarins funeral.
Great words of wisdom.
Thats not what made me cry, though.
All I want is for us to be successful.
When youre firing on all cylinders youre unstoppable, he tells Carl out on the balcony.
Kyle ends the interaction by saying, Im always here for you.
And he means it.
He even got her to go along with a three-minute boning session in the closet.
Amanda on the other hand.
Hoo-boy, did she have a season.
Her irrational hatred of Luke continues apace and continues to sink her.
When she gets home, she asks everyone how their night was.
It was great, Luke says.
She quickly dismisses him as never adding to the conversation.
When she asks why the tarot-card reader made the boys cry he says, Thats between us.
He might always shut down her conversations, but its not like he does that to everyone.
He seems to do it exclusively to Amanda, who greets him with nothing but hostility and resentment.
Why would he want to talk to someone who treats him so shabbily?
What the hell was that thing?
Is this, like cornhole and closet-case Republicans, some kind of Midwest fraternity culture thing that I missed?
The next day, Amanda apologizes, and Luke accepts it but knows that she barely means it.
My favorite resentments are like the best Bolognese, left to simmer for a very, very long time.
Then its time for everyone to dress up for their rave-themed Labor Day party.
Everyone has on these iridescent, space-age looks that wouldnt be out of place at Burning Man.
While watching the episode, my husband said, Hey, thats your shirt!
The next morning, when he opened Instagram, there was a targeted ad for that exact shirt.
How did they know?
Facebook, get out of my living room and stop listening to me when I watch Bravo shows.
Ugh, this asshole.)
While hes dressed well at the party, Carl is behaving badly.
Naturally, Jules doesnt love hearing this.
After everyone else has been kicked out, theyre making out in a chair in front of everyone.
And so, at the end of the summer, everyone has changed but also stayed the same.
Kyle and Amanda are still volatile, but at least they picked a wedding date.
Danielle is still hanging around and no one knows why.
Because, like the sun rising and herpes flaring up just before a first date, summer always arrives.
Even if the houses they will be trapped in will be their own, summer always arrives.
