However, much like the image of plantations, the relationships on the show need a lot of repair.

Wait, I take that back.

We dont need to repair the image of plantations.

Even if Blake Lively wantsto have her wedding in one.

The biggest relationship that is fractured is the one between the three main bros of this here reality-television program.

Thats what were calling it now.

What else has he done to help with his alcohol problem?

No wonder Craig and Austen are skeptical.

A bit of therapy, a 12-step meeting or two, subscribing to some sobriety influencers on TikTok.Something.

It makes sense that Craig and Austen both want a bit of clarity from Shep.

So, where exactly is he?

I am so much more on Craig and Austens side in this.

Its exhausting to have a friend who is that much of a mess all the time.

You mean … the pillows?

How is this affecting the pillows?

What other relationships are out of order?

Instead, hes gotten very close to Venita, whom he bonded with last year on the cast trip.

JT is cornier than the worlds busiest arepa stand.

This is so dumb.

JT says, If Austen wants to fuck around, just be up front about it.

Why should he, and why does JT care?

Austen is not dating JTs sister, cousin, or friend.

Hes not dating JT himself.

Then Austen treating people like shit is none of his business.

Let him do it!

Let the women (and the people on the other side of these screens) judge him for it.

While most of the episode was about these fractured relationships, we needed to meet a few new people.

There is Molly OConnell, a Charleston native and former contestant onAmericas Next Top Model.

(She came in second onCycle 16and I definitely watched it and dont remember her at all.)

At least she did us the courtesy of being a brunette.

How did he not realize that would hit differently.
