Guys, I think Salley fooled me.

You know, the ones with the old-school players.

The episode kicks off with the most anticlimactic summit in the history of Bravo.

I apologized, but I promise you I never use that word.

Everyone around Miss Pat knows that Craig has a … how can we put this?

… loose relationship with the facts.

They might understand that JT didnt use that exact word.

The problem here is that everyone seems predisposed to not like JT, and I totally understand why.

First of all, JT called him for a meeting, so its not like it was Craigs idea.

The same thing is true when Austen finds out that Craig and Shep are going fishing with JT.

He says, I could never even imagine caring what one of my friends is doing.

Thats exactly the problem that everyone has with him right now.

This episode seems to insinuate something that Im not sure what to do with, especiallyconsidering recent events.

What are you holding onto?

Would you still be friends if you didnt have this contractual obligation?

You should start a podcast on your own calledCraig and Friends.

You never stop talking.

I think this is terrible advice.

Also, Craig needs someone to keep him honest, and I think Austen does that.

If Craig wasnt stuck believing in this old version of Austen, maybe he could find more common ground.

When Craig and Austen sit down to talk about this at Salleys party, I hate Craigs tone.

How much would I have to give you to sign papers saying Craig ownsPillows and Beerright now?

he asks as if hes Business Bro Ken and his only function is business, bro.

(I love every single thing about Molly, but still find her superfluous to the show.)

I bet Paige picked those out too.

Because they both slept with her and Taylor.

The moment was small, but it was very telling.

Salley mentions the phone call she got from Gaston that she told everyone aboutlast episodeat Craigs house.

Taylor says, But you called him.

Salley then replies, get this, We had a phone conversation.

Not, No I didnt.

She says, We had a phone conversation.

She basically admitted to it.

Dont make me like Taylor, sad, boring, insignificant Taylor.

Shes still living in a house with jellyfish art on the walls.

(But then again, so is Austen.)

Okay, we dont hate Salley, but it always stings a little to be fooled.
