And what I find enjoyable sometimes is car wrecks. you know, like I am the person that's watching the car wreck unfold and I'm like You Like Some people I think found Sunday Night's episode a bit cringe. I found it crringe in the best way poss I find it cringe the most kind of magical way possible and the most Fantastic way possible And I was gonna usually I don't chat until like Wednesday, but I was like, I can't really wait to talk about this.

I rented a kilt So you will see me with a bagpipe, you will see me. Wait, actually I wonder if there will be bagpipes at the wedding. I just thought about this. I don't think I've ever like Have I heard a bagpipe like IRL I don't know. We'll see. but I will be kilted you know, I don't know if I'm gonna go Commando. I I'll probably wear just like a little panty That's a brand because I wear like very little underwear because I like to feel just like Like I wish there was underwire for men. Like I want to feel like plumped Pulled and So I don't know if I'll be going Cando because also like the idea of going Cando One, I mean, first of all, there's just a lot of like, Th and I don't I don't like when things are just thining cllip that I don't like when things are thinking And I'm not looking to say a thing when I'm thinking So I'll wear some underwear. It's kind of shocking to me that some of those because you know, I mean You know. Those Scottish lads are bush out under there Bush out We have We've had a lot of bush talk recently because we we also had Ridgewood busush If you miss the next jin and my C recap, I have to say that I think Georgia and her boyfriend Pz rock full Ridgewood Bush That was that's going to wrap up our busush segment for today. Moving on, I will be while I'm away, I've already scheduled out episodes to be released because I'm a professional. And they are recaps of Summer House Season number five, the COVID season.

And if you want a YouTube, if you want a video, excuse me version of this, check out the YouTube at YouTube d. com slash dumpster dive pod Dumpster divos, let's go ahead and jump into some loveve Island So First, episode twenty seven We'll kind of fly through this one because this one was long and kind of stupid. So We have recoupling and, you know Biggest note on both this episode and the next one is, did we minen and black the house Did we minen and black the house? spepecifically, did we minen and black Mel and make her forget about all the shit that went down at Movie Night Episode twenty seven is a little we're still coming off movie night. Episode twenty nine, the karaoke episode, baby, It's as if we have Movie N Iight never happened What No Girl, get up. And but I do think that part of it is like, well first s, Mel, I just gott to say it again, we are rooting for you. We love you. You deserve so much better sincere. I've been stalking Coreory on Instagram and he is fine Go chase after that man when you get out of the house. And also maybe chase after Caleb. Caleb was on Aftersign after he gets eliminated, spoiler alert. and it's like, yeah I wanted mil. and sincere got in the way of that. So there's plenty of men out here for you Mel Ride with sincere if you need to to wrap up this show and then ditches ass. I hope that's why you're pretending that everything's okay But I'm nervous So there's a recoupling, it's a boyss recoupling. so they get to choose who they're going to be with. And the fuckive thing about all this is Jen gets dumped essentially because she brought Gal to the villa. Now. Galgado, let's talk about Galgado for a second. He, you know, I said this on threads, but he is so orange wine, Mzcal Mcroni, green point coded to me And you can some people have smello vision, kind of like Georgia and her boyfriend on nextxt genen You know there's something You know, he's you know he smells like outside You know there is an outside smell, and y'all know what that is, because it's a smell that is really not defined by anything else. It's just like, oh, you've been running around in some grass That's kind of just the vibe he gives And It's so annoying. Jen, there were I don't feel I guess I don't feel that bad because you could have taken some of the finest men I've ever seen and you ditched them and you brought Gal to the villa. Gal Gadot came to the villa with you and now he is the sole reason that you got dumb So The couples go as follows. We have Bryce choosing Trinity, of course, we have Zach choosing Kada Corbin and Permida, Dylan and Kenzie Carl and Anaya, Casey, Tierra sincere and meel. Caleb and Jaden and Gal had to choose between Amora. and Jen, and he chose Amora, which was kind of weird to be honest with you because They keep saying they had a friendship. I leave their ass without had a friendship I don't believe they had a friendship So that means Jin's dumped. Jin's pecing out and you know, Kenzie's trying to y'all, Kenzie Everyone is Kenzy's best friend Which means no one is Kzy's best friend I mean, really When people are like, you m m say. You know, my best friend. And then you hear them say, you know, my best friend to someone else. That means you they're saying it to. if they have two best friends, they have ten Easy And this is just Kenzy girl. you got to go She's like, Jen, you're gonna be my friend outside of the villa and And I'm like Was Jen not shoewing her out just a couple episodes ago?

This summer serve up the cookout cllassics, Heinz Ketchup and Kraft singles. Every good burger needs a layer of perfectly melty cheese and thick rich ketchup. We all know it's not a cookout without Heinz and Kraft So I thought But you know, Jen leaves and Kenzie gives a tearful goodbye And then Ariana's like, hey, so like one more thing. It's not over yet N over yet We're going to We're going to kind of kick some more people out Thank God, honestly, because there's too many people. And so what they do is they have each couple pick the two least compatible compatible And so u Everyone votes with these little hearts and that ends up sending Gal and Amora make sense because they don't have a relationship at all And then Caleb and Jaden, which is sad. But you know who almost went home? two couples that almost went home, Sincere and Mel and Corbin and Parmita. Now, Corbin and Parmita First of all, Kenzie can't get over And I'm like, Corbyin and you were not. together they feel like they were together for a long time in the confines of the show. They haven't been together for a minute. If we're going off if we're going off the timeline of like the show and how every episode feels like forever, there's been probably as many episodes of them not together as there have been them together. So she should have time to kind of be over this But somehow she picks Corbinn and Parermita as like the least compatible. and And I'm like Say what you want about Corbin and Permeda and we will get to them because I have I rode hard, rode hard for Corborn and Permeda for you know approximately three hours It was a really beautiful three hours we had together and I really loved them for three hours. And then I had to set them free and, um, We'll get there we'll get there and it's a little emotional but They Kensey does choose them as the least compatible. And I'm like, you just don't like them The prompt was least compatible. Noight Not u who do you hate And so Last compatible, sincere and Malg got well deserved votes because They're not compatible. Their love language right now is arguing and fighting. which is not compatibility And I'll also need to talk about this, but Caleb and Jayen had this like weird blowu where I honestly didn't really follow it honestly, why they were fighting, but All of this ends up sending a more agalgated and Caleb home. Like I said before, they peace and now we've had five people leave the villa. thank God. Remaining couples are Trinity Bryce, Anaya Carl, Kidzach Melanody sincere Kenzie Dylan, Corbin Parmita and Kasey N TT I'm Ti Moving on to episode number twenty nine Y'all s try. Episode twenty nine This u This is a high point This is a high point for my U career as a podcaster. Sometimes you watch things and you're like Hmm I need to I need to go to work And sometimes I watch things and I'm like, I have to go to work Most of this season has been I have to go to work But this was I get to go to work Y'all, karaoke night, what does it mean? Why is it here? Who knows? I guess this is a thing in the UK I remember this on the UK seasons that I've watched but I also could have blacked out. There's like five thousand seasons. Reardless I am gonna need this kind of like all the time. when they said karaoke Night, I understood they would be singing But I kind of thought I'm so used to drag race where everything is just kind of like thrown into an autoune machine. So there's just a little bit of sheen on it I didn't realize we were getting raw vocals. I mean, it literally, the whole episode was the ny meme of her Lucina Kims O CXing. and she's like I mean, that that was that was me But while y'all were going like this, I was leaning in Be I was because a bitch I was living. I was living. So before we get to karaoke, let's talk about a couple things U They are all doing their like chats and this was the morning this this whole morning after that dumping was what really pissed me off about. The Mel and meel and sincere of it all. they just feel so normal again. And it is beyond upsetting to me. Also Trinity Trinity threw a bag Trinity threw it back for Bri. She looked back at it in that bad, because you know that's the only way you can have sex on Love Island is like this So she said And she said was pretty good Be you know, Bryce, we learned that Bryce is big Dick daddy Before he was old man Bryce when we started, but now's Bryce, dick d d bigig dick daddy So bigig Dick Daddy throws it down and I'm happy to see it. I would love to see Big Dick Daddy Big dick daddy Big dick, daddy Bryice. What is Bryce' last name Let's see if we can get some more names going for him Bryce Lve Island. Bryice, love Island. Oh, Alaci. is that how you say that Alak A L A ye, there's nothing here. I was trying to I was trying to get like a big dick Daddy pun with his last name, but we're not we're not really landing anywhere Uh, well He's popping on Instagram. I always forget, honestly because I know him as big dick daddy, old manan Bryce I forgot that he was like a model and I'm kind of key IG famous And he has a jaw that does not quit That jaw do not quit It's It's like Shout out Shut up, I see. Okay, anyways, let me move on. I'm just staring at, you know, o my God maring at myself now. I just pulled up my screen U you know, Bryce, I hope he throws it down forortunity. She seemed to like it and I'm proud of them for finally, you know making it happen. I hope they get to go to the hideaway. I think we should get one more hideaway opening for someone. and I hope it's them because they deserve it. They deserve some privacy evenven though we'll be watching and to get Big Dick Daddy down U let's see what else happened D we just get it, you know, more of Oh, we got it Pm Parmida is wearing K kind of a naked outfit, which really sent me for a spin. She was just Some of these girls have some of these girls wear these like bikini bottoms that This is she I mean, they're just covering like Labia because you see everything else around you You see all up and down the sides of it. You just don't see stuff that matters You know what, we're getting a little sexual. I'm gonna kind of take a hard left turn off of genital talk. Let's get to karaoke night. So someone gets a text. I think it's Corbyin. I got a text Did y allall like my Kata impression last I don't know I don't know Ian to know, when she's Zack, Zack, I got a text Zack, what song are we gonna sing, Zack So it is karaoke Night. They all have to perform a song. Now, I'm sure producers gave them a list of songs I got to choose between them And they're singing this shit live like you're at karaoke room in Korea town on twenty ninth and fifth in New York City If you need Kaytown is so fun down there and the The karaoakeke places are a blast. So if you need a spot to go, hit me up, I have some spots that are actually really fun And it's a blast. But they're doing it like that. like minimal backing vocals and they aren't singing live Live So We have this really cute setup. The whole thing is sponsored by Sarah B. Shout out Survey allegedly you know, I'm not even to bring it up, but Look Google Saravy, they're going through some some laawsuits right now. And I'm kind of nervous because like I don't use them anymore, but I used to be a die hardard Sah V person and I'm like 's happening my skin. Regardless. karaoke, karaoke time Arianna shows up in a kind of sluty workplace outfit. Lo to see this. I loved her in glasses. looked really cute And up first we have um roal Parmita and Corbin, y'all Yes is one of the great moments on television in twenty twenty six Parermmita and Corbin singing Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Roland inspired. I don't know if they picked this like from a list of songs or if the producers picked this for them If they picked it for themselves, they deserve Emmys. if the producers picked it, they deserve Emmyss. It is one of the greatest things I've ever seen First of all, she has one of the warbliest voices I've ever heard. She's like, Ni haa. N Ah. D you. N hu? Love you. You canid't h Y'all, I was I was a little tw I wasn't twisted, but I was high and had a glass of wine and I was crying Let's see Yeahes, so no matter what I do, I want to get to the Gorbin first I met this chicken shee move right up from the block I can't do this whole thing. I can't do that. That is going to be humiliating, but I'm happy to do Parermita just doing Na. Love you N too I was crying, laughing. They're just like not in their bodies either. and it's just really fun to see some hot people get taken down a little bit. Knock down a peg. L God in the end is fair God, whoever she is, is fair You know, there are things that I have, that others don't and there are things that I don't have that I wish I had you know, I You know, I will never have a six pack, but others kind of innately have that But what do I have I have a podcast Mike C clip that, clip that. People keep saying that they think Corbin and sincere and Kasey are going to start a podcast. They just have podcasts bro Eergy and y'all If any sincere could run a cult He has He has Nick Vial like cold energy in him where he can just He can just galvanize a group of people and to all, you know be part of is movement And so please we don't want that. But yeah, Permian and Corb ando looking online, everyone was like, I can't stand these two and y'all Once again, a couple hours. for a couple hours I was like, give them the crowd They are the most enjoyable couple here. They are hilarious. They say the dumbest shit they actually like each other. Crazy What a wild concept. Now, I'm not a Trinity and Bryce truther where I think that like they Or conspiracy a conspiracy Cider it This I'm not saying they word correctly, regardless. I think that Trinity Bryce really have something. A lot of people in mine think that they're making this up for the show. I believe in them, but I still in this moment, just am having so much fun with Permitia and Corbin that I'm like Crown him Crown him Up nextxt we have Kasey and Ti, Kasey and D Casey and TT do a't no mountain high enough This tough. This one is tough. Casey sounded pretty good TT was doing her thing. Um, and then Zach and Kada have endless love. Now Endless loveve is a good one, but Zack I'm worried. I mean, I've been worried about Zach for a multitude of reasons Zach? has a little Jesse Solomon in him where I think he thinks he eats And and Jesie Jesse is Jesse can s Zach thinks he can sing And he has the confidence of like, the one straight guy in your A capeelella group. Like he is the one straight guy that was like Eaten Punani all up and down choir rehearsals because like he was the one straight guy there And the rest that were straight were actually just like, I'm by That was me. By the way Um 'cause Zach, Zach was like, it's time. Like he's like I'm ready to make history. I'm ready to make history. And he thought this is going to be his episode. And Kita, you know, bless her. She can't sing And she sounds like she talked. She's like, endless love Next we have Mel and Sincere. You're the one that I want Are you Also, here's my thing My biggest beef with Greease always is that Women, you do not need to change for a man. If anything, a man needs to change for you. And if you have to make a man change, he's probably not the right man for you, but you are not the one that should be changing. And I don't like the lesson here that Sandy had to get all, you know Lather leather daddy sluty to made Cool enough to date Danny Zuko. I'm sorry You were perfect in your little circle skirt, in your hoop skirt Okay. And I don't know, when they started singing this, Hearing Mel say I've got chills, they're multiplying I had chills. I had chills to in a bad way. Like the chills you get when VOM is coming, like that's the chill I have But I did love and it felt very fitting when Mel goes, You better shaake up do do because I need a man because he does need to better he better shape up and he won't. But this't anything, if you have to tell a man to shape up You shouldn't be with the man You need a man that has been shaped up Projects are never worth it Never worth a as someone who used to invest in projects Next you have Carl and Anaya poor things. And well, actually Carl has an okay voice. Anaya is also Okay to bad And they do Signorita. Maby when you come signorita This was kind of fine. This wasn't great. They to be honest with you Seeing them do this. I was like, okay, maybe they don't have sexual chemistry I don't know. I just I started to think to myself like Is there something there because They are not in our I mean, granted They have known each other for approximately like a week at this point They shouldn be so hard on them, but It was okay Bryce and Trinity You did no air. I thought this was an inspired choice. I love this song if Chris Brown weren't a part of it But I do love this song How the hell am I supposed to b withough? . I was in high school when this came out and baby The senior prom went off when this when this came on. I don't think y'all understand the power of Jordan Sparks as like a child being like, I voted for that woman. I voted for her to be a star and she's a star You know, I love to see it. And then lastly, we have Dylan and Kenzie Doing Don't goo Break in my heart Now We have to give it to them. They did a good job Dylan has the energy, you know how Zach had the energy of the straight guy in the in the jazz group or the choir that, you know, ate Punani, like it was his homework Dylan was terrorizing the ensembles of community theater. L I know his ass was curntly in Oklahoma and I know his ass was flirting with like the understudies for everyone, the like Laorie ballet Lauri. L I just know he was all up and down that ensemble And Kenzy bless her heart. I mean, she needed one more opportunity to do the splits. If there was a time to do the splits, it was now And so after everyone goes, they do a ranking where they all get to do like, if you watch drag race, they essentially did like a Raid a quQeen situation where they picked who they thought was the best to the worst. Last place was Medivas My absolute Tiva dolls My My loves, my winners My singers her meeting I'm going I'm going call it rigged. I'm going call it we need to get rid of mail and voting. No I'm kidding. We need to keep mail and voting because there's everything legal about mail and voting. okay But this this was a rigged election. This election was rigged. this one was because for me, dilemma was number one And then we had a tie for, I think fourth or third, Kasey fourth, Kasey and TT and Zack and Kada. that wrecked Zack. Zack was like, okay, but I'm a diva So I'm a diva and you're putting me for And then we had Melon Sincere and Carl and Ana and then Bryce and Trinity, I think were second, I think was what it was. And then it doesn't matter because Dylan Mc Kenzie got first No Ariana is literally like, okay, byye, seeee you later. And she's like, oh wait One more thing Someone's going home. wait notot someone Two people are going home No, it was one It was one It was two people would be vulnerable And so They reveal that Dylan M Kenzie are the winners once again, and that that is going to be what saves them It's essentially an immunity immunity necklace in survivor. And so Bryce and Trinity, Carl and Anaya, Mellon Sincere, Casey and Titi are all safe Dylan Kenzie, Zack, Kata, Parmita and Corbin are vulnerable. So they got the lowest votes from America on mostost compatible And Dylan and Kenzie save themselves from the block by being the winners of the karaoke challenge, leaving Zach and Kita, Parita and Corbin up for elimination Islanders had to pick which couple they want to keep This episode is brought to you by State Farm.
