This week it is a time for a quick three day trip to Turks and Caicos to celebrate Hannah’s birthday. Everyone is going. After twelve minutes of spray tanning and packing, we finally get to Turks & Caicos.
First stop is The Conch Shack. There they run into Robin, Hannah’s friend. Rum punches all around. Lyle was drunk in the morning when he arrived at the airport and has been drinking nonstop since. He made some sort of joke about Hannah being back on her knees in no time. It didn’t land well with anyone. Louis drove all night from Orlando to get to the airport. He did really well at the show generating six figures in revenue. If that is true, that’s amazing. Louis jokes about Hannah wanting the money to go toward her ring. Why is everyone so snarky toward the birthday girl and pretend hostess? Hannah says the theme of the weekend is “Yes.” Lyle and Catherine are already flirting,
I could have missed the conch penis eating scene and been just fine about it.
The house they are staying at is perfect. It’s right on the ocean. You literally step out the back door on to the beach. Brandon was funny trying on all of Catherine’s clothes. Louis is so exhausted he can hardly keep his eyes open. He falls asleep before dinner. Hannah brought supplies for the hurricane relief efforts there. Everyone keeps pestering Louis to get up and go to dinner. Let the poor guy sleep! Hannah is pissed.
At the dinner table, they decide to just air all their grievances about each other. Does know one understand proper dinner conversation anymore? It’s a birthday celebration. Why not say something you like about the birthday girls.
Brandon of all people kicks of the Negative Nancy game by telling Lyle that he thinks he is extremely verbally and mentally abusive toward Catherine. Really Brandon? Hagood says that Lyle is not abusive. Are we really going to have another discussion on abuse on two shows in a row? I agree with Hagood. I think Catherine has the most fault in her relationship with Lyle. Daniel says that any abuse toward Catherine is a reaction of Catherine’s abuse toward Lyle. Lyle just wants the conversation to change so he agrees with Brandon in an effort to move on from this topic. Daniel is irritated that Lyle is taking the blame. We didn’t even get to hear about the special dessert the restaurant has. Ridiculous.
Most of the gang stayed up until six am and Brandon got them all up at ten. Lyle and Catherine go for a walk on the beach. Lyle apologizes to Catherine.
Hannah, her sister Hillary, and Robin go to meet Hannah’s mom for bloody Marys. Hannah tells her mom that Louis wants to get engaged this year. Her mom says Louis seems to be stringing her along. She also points out that they were just “on a break” a few months ago. Then they start talking about Hannah’s parents divorce. Robin has to fly home early.
It’s time for a booze cruise! Brandon goes skinny dipping with the dolphins. Louis and Hannah talk about their relationship. Hannah seems to have been emboldened by her talk with her mother to tell Louis how he is not meeting her expectations. Louis points out that Hannah is asexual. He says she never even touches him and tells her she needs to work on that.
Louis says that he has spoken her love language for five years and it doesn’t make any difference because she never reciprocates. Louis says she needs to go find a guy who likes being told what to do all the time and in not interested in intimacy. I agree. This relationship needs to end.
To be continued…
Next time, Louis seems to leave the island. Daniel tells Lyle he is in love with someone who doesn’t give a crap about him. Hagood’s parents want her to come home. Catherine told Hannah that Louis goes to the casinos to find hookers. Catherine approaches Lyle with a ring box.
How is it possible to be so miserable in the Turks and Caicos? How?
They should play different tempos of Money Can’t Buy You Class all through this show. LuAnn could make some bucks on royalties. Maybe enough to get her dream house. I hope whoever did the casting for this show (Whitney?) gets rid of the couples next season. They are entitled assholes. WHY would someone (Louis) spend five years with a person so sexually incompatible? In the olden day’s, if you hadn’t had sex, when divorce was not an acceptable option, people made the best of it. But TODAY? WTF Louis?
Oh, hell, days, no apostrophe. Hates auto whatever…
Was watching this with my hubby and we were laughing so hard at the final scene with Louis and Hannah. Seemed like they went from Louis saying “Awesome” to Hannah wanting to get back together for real to Louis calling her a frigid bitch in a matter of 10 seconds. It was like the pages of the script they were reading from got stuck together and they missed a page or two in between.
Louis and Hannah do need to break up though. I think both of them could be happy in other relationships if they weren’t just staying together for the show/because of the time already sunk into this relationship.
Lyle and Catherine together need to stay together forever so as not to inflict their crazy on any one but each other. They are truly meant to be.
These are the most boring, unattractive people on planet earth. Brandon is the only interesting person. I fast forward through every scene he is not in, and managage to miss nothing. Yawn!
thank-you! i feel the same way. lol
In that final conversation between Louis and Hannah, things started off so well and then went south so quickly. I feel like there is a lot of backstory here we don’t know. What are the expectations Hannah is willing to let go, and what are the ones she is not? Louis seemed to know which was which, but we don’t. I know she wants Louis to grow up and be mature, but then in this conversation, she seemed annoyed he was spending so much time on his business. And I never understand people who talk about their relationships primarily as something you have to “work on.” If it takes that much “work” (as much work as starting up and running a business, Hannah said), you’re with the wrong person.
YES! if the sex aint good now when they are young???? I hate to tell them it is not going to get any better when they get older, maybe have kids and really get tired. Time to cut bait and find a new fishing hole…5 years? nope…..
Fishing hole. LOL.
This show is better this season but Hannah is worse. FREE LOUIS!!! Her expectations are way too high. It seems as though he is working very hard to get his sock business really going so she needs to back off. What the hell else does he need to do?
If this show makes it back it needs another recast. Keep Hagood, Brandon, and Louis. Recast everyone else.
Apart from wanting to recreate those halcyon days of her childhood which were disrupted when her father left the family, do we even know what Hannah’s expectations are? She is behaving like a petulant child. Louis seems to be working hard trying to get his business off the ground, and hopefullly he will make it. He should move forward with his goals and leave Hannah in the rear view mirror.
I expected him to yell “How the fuck do you expect an engagement rock if I don’t sell my socks?”
If I’m not mistaken Louis had a job with his family’s business (during season one) but she encouraged him to go ahead with the sock business? If she wanted him there all the time then the family job was probably the better career choice IMO.
I think this is the last episode I will watch. It’s just too painful to watch them over act, especially Catherine. If she was anymore animated she would become a cartoon character right before our eyes. Ian’s yet with all the scripted over-produced, overacting, there is not a single story line that rates above boring. Actually, I like Hagood and her family and story, so I changed my mind. 1 halfway decent story line, the rest are dull, boring and unwatchable. Haymaker, do yourself a favor and throw the knock out punch on this show. Put us all out of the misery!
I agree. I don’t think I can watch Savannah anymore, although I love all of the scenery. I hate the overacting, especially how much the “squeal loudly” like everything is the most exciting thing ever. I had to keep adjusting my volume last evening because I couldn’t handle the squeals.
?? Squealing and also, the singing phrases to mimic Kristin Wiig in Bridesmaids. Totally annoying.
Ashley was the only one I liked.
I thought I liked Hannah but I was wrong. She is too controlling and needs to lighten up like her mom said.
First, I was really mad that she was mad that Louis did not come for dinner. The man risked his life to drive through the night to make the flight for your birthday, and you cannot even appreciate or see his sacrifice?
Second, I believe that Hannah is the one who iced Ashley out of the show and refused to film with her over a little squabble over the dress line.
By the way, what is the status of Hannah’s dress line? As if we need another “designer” wannabe.
Joggers…..uh spring…summer…..September…
Oh, yes… I have been anxiously awaiting September because everyone knows I want She by Sheree joggers for my birthday. Nothing else will do!
Yes- that would be the release date of ….never
Didn’t she ice her out over the “strip golfing”? She was not happy about that!!
It makes a little more sense now why she was angry about that if she and Louis are having intimacy problems, with him wanting more sex and touching and her not being that into it. Maybe she is constantly worried that he will cheat on her because he wants more physicality than she can give?
I know I’m in the minority but I don’t think Lyle is any better or worse than Catherine. I do think he’s nasty and abusive to her, just as much as she flip flops with their relationship. I don’t think she’s in love with him but does love him. I think she’s getting pressure from her parents and friends to be with him, and she’s trying, but her heart isn’t into it. She told him she wasn’t ready and wanted to see how they were as a couple after he moved back, but he still asked her to marry him on camera in spite of what she said. So that denial was on him. I agree that Catherine is flighty and very insensitive, Lyle is a douche lord.
Now for the other couple who need to run from each other….Hannah and Louis. I’m getting a vibe from Hannah that is starting to resemble those who have suffered from a sexual assault. It’s very hard for people to become intimate after that. Even with therapy, it could take years to get there. And I understand that people, men and women, need that intimacy for relationships. Louis’ cold delivery of that on Hannah’s birthday trip, and his past behavior, tells me what an asshole he is. I know it’s hard to throw away a long relationship, but sometimes, it’s the best thing you can do for both involved.
Thank God for Brandon. He’s lucky the dolphin didn’t bite his wiener off.
Or play wiener twirling with him like I saw in the SF aquarium once. Everyone was pretending not to watch and when they did it again (through the net separating them), my friend SQUEALED “There it is!” and the pretenders were busted.
Maybe Hannah isn’t ready to open up about true personal feelings and is going with what her perceived feelings from family and friends feed her. Maybe she’s not interested due to some kind of things he does she doesn’t agree with or maybe she isn’t into him or men. Another 5 years or 20 will tell.
Ooh you might be right about Hannah and that is sad.
Excellent comment all around.
It was pretty insensitive of him to tell her she needed to work on her asexuality. If she’s truly asexual, she can’t just “work on it,” and change because someone else wants her to. Just like a gay person can’t “work on” their homosexuality. If she is truly asexual, it’s just who she is. But I find it more likely that he, like many other men, throw out the phrase “you’re asexual!” as more of an insult or a way to make their partner feel guilty about not fulfilling the man’s every sexual whim.
Who makes their fortune in the sock business? Even Robert Kardashian couldn’t sell his socks.
I was really skeptical about this too. But golf socks sold at gold clubs seems like a lucrative idea if you can get them in the club stores.
Bravo. Many try. A few take off. I think it’s the authenticity behind if it’s a real business or not to get a promotion through the show but sustain it and make wise business choices is the person. He seems pretty stable with this business somehow. Bethany made a margarita with less calories. It happens
An entire Hannah episode is like a Meg episode on family guy…..
I hadn’t been watching this, but I felt like I needed to spend all of this past Saturday laying on my couch and I watched all the episodes so far this season back to back.
Wow, Catherine is really unlikeable. Between the faces she makes, that hand signals she flashes around, and the slang/catch phrases she throws around CONSTANTLY, she is trying way too hard. I find her unwatchable.
And Hannah needs to give Louis a break. I have to go to trade shows for my job, and they are EXHAUSTING. So after spending several days at a trade show, one that will likely make or break his business for at least the next year, he gets in his car at 1 am and hauls ass back to Savannah to make the early morning flight to T&C. Then Hannah has the nerve to be upset with him because he is too exhausted to make it out to dinner. Seriously? Come on.
I doubt I will finish watching this season.
By the way did anyone else notice the picture of Catherine and another guy not on the show during the spray tan scene nod to production crew and wink.
That’s her dad.
The dude in the photo is her dad.
Guess I am the only one halfway sympathetic to Hannah this year… I thought it was B.S. louis was too tired to go to her bday dinner. yeah I am sure he is busy working but based on last season and the scenes we have seen of him out with the guys this yeae too I don’t buy that he has cut back much on partying even as he works longer hours.
So what if he goes out w the guys? That has zero to do with the fact that this time he had worked for 3 days, driven all night then stayed awake all the next day. A person needs to rest.
I’m sure I’m the minority but I love this show. Catherine C. and her quirky faces. She is a cute as a button. They all seem to genuinely like each other even tho there are relationship issues. Hannah just wants Louie to balance his time with her. The only person that is pretty dull is Haygood. Where did they get this girl??? Lyle seems like a good guy but he and Catherine are a big ?
I was once called frigid by a boyfriend who was not-at-all sexually appealing to me, I realized (although we had a great time together otherwise.) Prior husband and boyfriends would have been crying in their laughter. I was a SLUT in bed. In kitchen. Beach. Car. Etc…. But to him and his ego? Frigid.
