00:03Previously on The Valley.
00:05I'm like a you, dude. You're like a me.
00:08My girlfriend doesn't kiss anybody,
00:10and she's like, I'm so down if you doesn't.
00:12You kiss her tonight, I will kiss somebody else another night.
00:16Oh, my God. I can't do it. I'm such a pussy.
00:18How Kristen behaved at your house was gross.
00:22Like, to walk into a party and have somebody be like,
00:24why is she here? She doesn't deserve to be here.
00:26And then, like, two seconds later, you were gone.
00:27I left in tears.
00:30And I'm not gonna continue just showing up places
00:32where I'm getting yelled at.
00:34I just don't feel like you actually give a how I feel.
00:37I feel like you don't respect me or care how I feel.
00:39You either shut down and say, I'm so tired,
00:41I'm gonna go to bed.
00:42You know what, because I don't you?
00:45I've tried to talk to you numerous times.
00:46I'm not allowed to have a hard time.
00:48It's only allowed to be hard for you.
00:58Everything is alright.
01:01Everything is alright.
01:03Everything is alright.
01:06I'm alright.
01:13Can you please?
01:17Out of the winds
01:24Stop.
01:25Is this my hat now or are you ever going to pick it up?
01:28Are you trolling me?
01:29I feel personally attacked.
01:33Upgrading everything over here
01:35Out of the winds
01:37Have you looked into any schools for him
01:40in addition to the one we've looked at already?
01:41I don't really think he needs private elementary school.
01:44We've got to figure out if we're moving
01:47if we're having another baby.
01:49Yeah.
01:50We came so far
01:52Look at our new car
01:55Okay, let's go, let's go.
01:57Hi, hello.
01:59Are you excited, Asher?
02:00Welcome.
02:02What do we have here?
02:03We have Isabella.
02:04Hi, Isabella.
02:05And Asher.
02:07We're going to put our shoes over here.
02:08Come here, Asher.
02:11Come on, little choo-choo train.
02:13Have you ever done a cartwheel?
02:14Girl.
02:15A cartwheel.
02:15I was in cheerleading and all I could do was like
02:18a cartwheel.
02:19That's a basic one for you.
02:20Let me see.
02:21A cartwheel?
02:21Yeah.
02:23Oh, what is that called?
02:25Round off.
02:26Oh, round off.
02:26That's what I could do in cheerleading.
02:28Okay, so bear walk on the bars.
02:30Very nice.
02:31Isabella just started gymnastics about three months ago.
02:34It's always been my idea because I was a gymnast.
02:37I didn't have a life growing up.
02:39My life was gymnastics.
02:40So when people make fun of me not knowing things like fast food and games and pop culture,
02:46it's because I cared and only cared about gymnastics.
02:53Woo!
02:54That was fun.
02:55You got it.
02:56Now do it on the floor.
03:02Oh, my gosh.
03:04Yeah, girl.
03:05Keep going straight.
03:06How long have you done gymnastics?
03:07I did it forever.
03:08I started when I was five.
03:10Okay.
03:11And I remember when I was four, my dad brought me into the gym and he's like,
03:14is this something you want to do?
03:15I'm like, yes.
03:16He's like, okay, I'm going to put you in and you're going to go to the Olympics.
03:20I didn't even know what that was.
03:21I'm like, okay.
03:22So from day one, I was like, I'm going to the Olympics.
03:25Yeah.
03:25And so I was just hardcore from like the very beginning.
03:29I knew that gymnastics, I didn't know it was like your life.
03:32Gymnastics forced me to have a very disciplined life and I had a very strict schedule growing up and I
03:39enjoyed it.
03:40This is why I'm very strong today.
03:42Life has thrown me so many curveballs, but I always just look forward.
03:47So when did you stop doing gymnastics?
03:50Yeah, I stopped at like 15 when my parents divorced.
03:55My dad had a mental illness.
03:58So he didn't leave my mom because like they fell out of love.
04:01He just left because in his mind, he was trying to protect us.
04:08I'm sorry.
04:10It's okay.
04:10So I think I don't talk about it because I have a lot of memories with my dad about it.
04:15Yeah.
04:16My dad has never been diagnosed, but in his mind, he thought that there was people after us.
04:24And so he thought people wanted him.
04:26So he thought it would be safe for us if he just left and we were home alone.
04:31He had asked if it's okay if he left my mom and I.
04:35He asked you?
04:36Yeah.
04:37And I said, yes.
04:40Like I understand.
04:41Yeah.
04:42I didn't understand, but I kind of did.
04:44And my dad's still in LA?
04:45He's still in LA.
04:46Yeah.
04:46So when they separated, was it just they like didn't talk again for a while?
04:52Or like what was that whole situation?
04:53He just kind of disappeared for years.
04:55Yeah.
04:55But they always had love for each other.
04:58At my mom's funeral, like my dad went.
05:01And it was really sweet because he, we like went out and got coffee and he was like, oh,
05:05my wife just passed away.
05:07Like even after all those years that they were divorced, like I could just still feel the
05:12love.
05:12They still had so much love.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Hands down and roll like a ball.
05:18Beautiful.
05:19By the way, last night I started inviting people and I want to invite you.
05:23Uh-huh.
05:24We're going to do a little San Diego trip.
05:26I feel like we could use like a little, like a little getaway, like a little like energy
05:31reset or something.
05:32You know, I'd love to go to San Diego.
05:34It's the best.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Tom and I, we connected and we realized he's like, I love San Diego so much.
05:39And I'm like, I basically grew up there.
05:41Yeah.
05:41So he's like, let's do a trip.
05:43So we found a house.
05:45Hey, baby.
05:45Want me to carry you?
05:46Um, I invited Lala, Brittany, Zach, everybody, Kristen, Janet.
05:54What's the sleeping arrangements like in this place that where everybody's invited?
05:59Because obviously I want Janet to be my roommate.
06:00That's why I'm asking.
06:01No, it's one huge house.
06:04There is like a different structure if somebody needs to stay somewhere else.
06:10When it comes to like the group dynamic, I feel like I'm good with just coexisting in the
06:16same space as Janet and Jason.
06:17I don't need to have a plan or strategy to avoid Janet.
06:20It just comes naturally to me.
06:24Go.
06:25Over.
06:26Oh, where's that foot go?
06:28Where's that foot go?
06:39Hi.
06:40You checking in?
06:41Yes.
06:42Kristen Doty.
06:43Kristen.
06:43Perfect.
06:43You're here for sugaring and a spray tan, right?
06:46Yes.
06:47Amazing.
06:48Morning.
06:49How are you?
06:49Morning.
06:50If you just want to hang out, your tan will be right up with you.
06:52Perfect.
06:53Of course.
06:54What's up, girl?
06:55Hi, y'all.
06:56Hi.
06:57Of course, it never rains and it's raining on our spray tan.
06:59I know.
07:00For real.
07:00I hope they have umbrellas here because I forgot one.
07:03Of course, you know, the pool party, there's a chance of rain.
07:06And I'm like, are you kidding?
07:07I am so excited about my pool party, but my last pool party was an absolute disaster.
07:13Oh, my gosh.
07:13I'm first.
07:14I'm terrified.
07:16I'd let Kristen know that Janet was going to be at the pool party, but as soon as Janet
07:20walked in, Kristen started yelling.
07:21She doesn't deserve to be here.
07:23So after about two minutes, Janet walked out and left.
07:27So fingers crossed.
07:28We won't have any yelling this time, but oh, my gosh, this group freaks me out.
07:33Have you done a Brazilian before?
07:34I have, but I was very pregnant.
07:37Are we ready?
07:37Yes, we are ready.
07:39I just need Kristen in here for emotional support.
07:41She was with me the only time I've ever had it done.
07:44Do you want to take everything?
07:45Do you want to leave a landing strip?
07:46No?
07:47No.
07:47Never take it all.
07:48Maybe bald as a biscuit.
07:50Awesome.
07:51I don't think my butthole's hairy.
07:55They're going to love this.
07:59Yes, of course.
08:01Ready?
08:01One, two, three.
08:03Yeah!
08:07I feel like a warrior goddess.
08:09Not literally.
08:10Ready?
08:10One, two, three.
08:16Like, ah!
08:19Breathe up.
08:21Beauty's pain, huh?
08:22Beauty, I swear to God.
08:25Pain and weird, and then you love beauty.
08:28One, two, three.
08:29Yeah!
08:32Sorry that y'all had to hear that.
08:35Is it Kristen's test?
08:36Hello?
08:38Hello?
08:39Oh my God, why?
08:41Why?
08:43Is that the first one you've ever seen?
08:45No, I've seen yours a thousand times, too.
08:47Yeah, he's seen both of ours just past this ankle.
08:50Full flaps, flapjacks, all in my face.
08:54I think I saw your uterus.
08:55Jesus Christ.
08:57I laughed so hard.
08:59Oh my God.
09:01So, how was your all's date night?
09:03It was just like...
09:04From what Luke was telling me, it was, like, good that you guys are talking about anything
09:09that's going on.
09:10Yeah, because we just don't talk about things in front of Kaya.
09:13Like, even though she can't understand us and she won't really remember, it's the energy.
09:17But it's like the point of, I feel like he's not listening to me and he doesn't respect
09:22me.
09:23Like, he doesn't respect what I want.
09:25Right.
09:25But it's like, he wants to, like, have sex and wants our relationship to be better.
09:28And I'm like, I don't feel close to you when it's like I wake up with the baby at four
09:32or five o'clock in the morning.
09:34Baby's crying, this and the dogs, whatever.
09:36And he's just kind of like, do you want me to take her?
09:39I guess what I told him is I don't know how to be heard on those things that bother me.
09:44And he's got to stop bringing up how much he hates L.A. all the time.
09:48Hearing about it too often, just too often, it's so frustrating because I'm like, how can
09:54they make you happier then?
09:55Long before Kaya was ever in the picture, we had an agreement that once she was, like,
10:02before school age, we would move and we would be closer to family.
10:06We would have more land.
10:08But for right now, this is where we live.
10:11And so to hear that on an almost daily basis, how miserable he is and how much he hates
10:17it here, it is so frustrating.
10:20It's not easy on relationships.
10:22Like, whoever thinks that having a baby fixes everything, like, having a new baby is
10:26hard.
10:27Yeah.
10:27But I do feel like there are some elements of, like, that past trauma from having such
10:34exes.
10:35Yeah.
10:35That, like, sometimes when you guys get in a fight, he go for the jugular sometimes.
10:39And he's not used to that.
10:41And I think that it makes it hard.
10:43That's why I'm like, couples counseling or something, just so that you guys can have
10:47neutral people, you know, giving it in Kristen language to you and Luke language to him and,
10:53like, kind of coming to a combined language together.
10:57My defense mechanism when it gets really bad is I'm like, just leave them.
11:01And he hates that.
11:02It's good that you're talking about it.
11:03You need to say what's bothering you.
11:05After I had Cruz, I was all about Cruz, 100%.
11:09And Jax made me feel like I just did not matter after I had a baby with him.
11:14I'm glad that Luke is trying, but I also want him to, like, understand a little bit more
11:20about how she's feeling.
11:21Because what Kristen's going through is only what Kristen is going through.
11:25Also, like, postpartum is a bitch.
11:28Like, the hormones, the emotions, everything.
11:32And hopefully, like, Luke understands, like, you're also going through a lot as well.
11:35He does. He really does.
11:36Right.
11:37But when you have these arguments.
11:43Coming up.
11:44I got rid of a lot of jeeps.
11:46I hoard, too.
11:48You do.
11:48And the end of the world, go back.
11:52You need to say it's not.
11:53It's a private thing.
11:54Is this, like, a bomb-proof shelter?
11:56I don't think it's nuke-proof.
11:57It's doomsday light.
11:59Oh, okay.
12:13Keep your heels elevated.
12:16Don't think that we're going to forget those pulses.
12:21And this last one, take it out and hold.
12:24This is the yummiest part of class.
12:27Thank you for showing up at Drenched today.
12:31Oh.
12:31My ass is so sweaty.
12:34You guys, nice job.
12:38Okay.
12:39That was good.
12:42I feel like I haven't seen you forever.
12:44I know.
12:45I know.
12:45I felt like that, too.
12:46It's only been, like, two or three days, but I feel like it's been, you guys have had a busy
12:50week.
12:51How do you feel, like, how do you feel when you see pictures of all of us getting together?
12:56For a second, like, a little bit, like, bummed out, but I wouldn't want to be invited because in, like,
13:04especially, like, for something, like, with Danny and Nia, because it doesn't feel like things are good.
13:08I think, Zach, I think you guys need to go out and get a little drunk together.
13:13Have a Jell-O shop together.
13:14Zach and I have been through some, you know, dark and crazy stuff.
13:18I have truly forgiven him for it.
13:20Like, Zach and I got to a good place last summer.
13:23I genuinely want to move on.
13:26Perfect.
13:26Let's move forward.
13:28Kumbaya, my lord.
13:30Let's have a good night.
13:32Hugs.
13:32Hey.
13:35And he's, as far as I know, the reason that he blocked me and did all that is because of
13:41Danny and Nia.
13:42You're saying that he has touched other women's butts?
13:45He's been inappropriate and made women uncomfortable multiple times.
13:49You're making it sound like he is going out and grabbing women all over when he drinks, and that's wrong.
13:56You know, if there's something I've said or done, I'm not above apologizing for it.
14:00I do agree he would be the first step.
14:03I'm going to do a game night.
14:05It feels like there's been a lot of heavy conversations, and I feel like this is a way to just
14:10lighten the mood.
14:11Lighten it up.
14:11Have a fun time.
14:13I invited Jasmine and Melissa.
14:15Okay.
14:16And I was thinking about inviting Zach and Benji.
14:20Obviously, I have not seen Nia or Danny.
14:23It feels like not the time to, like, invite them or hash it out because it doesn't feel like things
14:32are good.
14:32Is it bad if I say, why don't you just invite them, knowing they're not going to come, but at
14:37least you invited them?
14:38All you're trying to get to is, like, being cordial.
14:42I think I should talk it over with Jason.
14:44Maybe that is the right time to extend an olive branch.
14:47I love that.
14:48Love a game plan.
14:49Lady like to grab you by the throat.
14:51Wrap around your body like a serpent one.
14:54He said, thank me.
14:56Nobody havin'.
14:57You can have them taste, but know your place.
14:59Hey, girls.
15:00Hi.
15:01There's five.
15:02Do you want to say hi?
15:03Yeah.
15:05Hello.
15:06Oh, my goodness.
15:08How you doing today?
15:10Good.
15:10She'll do the berry bowl.
15:12Amazing.
15:12May I please get an iced matcha latte?
15:14I'd be glad I started that out for you.
15:15And then I am going to try a power bowl.
15:20Anytime.
15:21Isabella, come sit.
15:24Come sit.
15:25No.
15:25Hey, do the phonics dance.
15:28No, do the phonics dance for Lacey.
15:30I know.
15:31I actually don't want you to force her to do anything for me because she is not a clown at
15:35the circus,
15:35and she doesn't have to perform.
15:38Everyone says you're the beta in this relationship, right?
15:40Yeah, yeah, the beta.
15:42She is certainly an alpha, hates my storytelling.
15:46She's straight to the point.
15:48Can I give you unsolicited, failed parent criticism?
15:52She should read Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
15:55You're just not supposed to teach your kids secrets.
15:57I mean, there's no bullsh**.
15:59The exciting news is that we have another month or two left, and you'll be divorced officially.
16:06That's good.
16:06Does it feel any different when it's official?
16:09No.
16:10At least we can have normal conversations now with regards to Isabella.
16:15So Lacey's going to organize your room, and she said we have to figure out what stuffies can go where.
16:23In Malibu's toys.
16:24Oh, you picked out two for baby Kaya.
16:26I did.
16:26I have so many of Malibu's toys in a bag in the garage.
16:29How long has the trash bag been in the garage?
16:34Just tell me, is it more than six months?
16:39I got rid of a lot of jeets.
16:41I hoard two.
16:43You do.
16:44And the end of the world goat bag.
16:47You need to say it's not, it's a private thing.
16:49Wait, that's a private thing?
16:50I don't want anyone to, like, come to my doomsday bunker if I have to use it.
16:54I don't want anyone to know.
16:55During, like, COVID, my TikTok algorithm was, like, doomsday bunkery.
17:00And one night, I, like, went down the rabbit hole of doomsday things you would need.
17:06Like, the acid tabs if the water is bad and generators.
17:10And I was like, I just need to buy all this stuff because what if I've been giving it so
17:15much thought
17:16and then doomsday does come and I'm just, like, kicking myself that I didn't buy all this stuff?
17:20Is this, like, a bomb-proof shelter or, like, what is this?
17:23Yeah, it's not at my house.
17:25So, like, you'd have to find it.
17:26It's off the grid.
17:27Okay.
17:28But it's not, like, underground.
17:29I don't think it's nuke-proof.
17:31It's doomsday light.
17:34Oh, okay.
17:35It's at the world's ending.
17:36They'll come to you.
17:38My fear is always, like, I have a bunch of, like, the zero-to-one-year-old toys in a
17:43container.
17:44I think you have a five-year-old.
17:46There could be another one coming soon and then you want all those zero-to-one books.
17:52Are you having a child with someone?
17:55Coming up.
17:56Every single conversation I have shouldn't be about, Jana and Zach, let me, like, enjoy my life.
18:05I don't want to get into nothing too deep.
18:08I just want to have some fun, now.
18:10I'm going to need a night out on the town, now.
18:12Hey, how you doing?
18:15This is an old, tired girl pie.
18:16I love first place.
18:17It's so good for game night.
18:18It's a masculine.
18:19It's kind of like Dave & Buster vibes a little bit.
18:21Hi.
18:21Hi.
18:22Are you Jana?
18:22Yes.
18:23Okay, we put this section here and this is for you.
18:25Perfect.
18:26Thank you so much.
18:27I'm so excited for this game night.
18:28This is my Dave & Buster's fanny pack.
18:3125,000 tickets.
18:32That's the goal.
18:33Let's go.
18:36We wanted to channel more of, like, a Richard Dawson 70s family feud vibe for this.
18:41Originally, we were talking about how Jared should kiss everybody on the lips like Richard
18:44Dawson used to do as he went down the line, but we thought that might be a little bit
18:48appropriate, especially given how I've called people out for stuff, so.
18:52I mean, so I invited Nia, Danny, Kristen, and Luke.
18:56Kind of didn't expect them to come.
18:57They said no.
18:58Jasmine and Melissa said no, and I was kind of surprised because it kind of bombed because
19:03they're, like, game night people.
19:03Game night people.
19:04So I think they would have had fun.
19:09I love game night.
19:10I feel like it brings everybody together.
19:16I think that's normal.
19:17When you give this group, like, a task or something to do to concentrate on, it's just,
19:27like, a moment to really escape life and just have a fun, fun night.
19:31Uh, do you guys know the questions?
19:33No.
19:34Yeah, I think that Jane and I know the answers.
19:36What am I to do, invite you all here and trample you?
19:38Yes.
19:38Yes.
19:39Yeah, because you want to win.
19:42I'll be awful at all the subjects, especially ones that involve numbers.
19:46What are the subjects you think you'll do well at?
19:48Designer labels and Bravo shows.
19:52I would crush.
19:53Ask me a question about the housewives.
19:55I'm going to know every single thing.
19:57You got the whole world looking like the sun and kind of magic.
20:00All right, here we go.
20:01Yellow and blue makes what color?
20:04Green.
20:05Correct.
20:07I knew that she can't beat me to it.
20:09I'm sorry, guys.
20:09You let your wife win.
20:11I would never.
20:12Winning.
20:13What piece of land is both a continent and a country?
20:16Mexico.
20:17That is incorrect.
20:18Here we go.
20:20Oh, I'm not even going to try this.
20:23Wait.
20:2410 times 3, 22 or 20?
20:2620.
20:27Oh.
20:28Okay, got it.
20:29No, we all have different numbers.
20:3116.
20:31Correct.
20:32Lala, what year did man land on the moon?
20:411967, that is incorrect.
20:43And we've got a winning team.
20:46Congratulations.
20:49You guys, thank you for coming.
20:50This is so much fun.
20:51You know, this is like my ideal night.
20:54I forget how competitive you are.
20:56Only in games.
20:57Never in games.
20:59You should have given me props for even trying.
21:01You know, I do give you props for trying.
21:03Okay, so everyone's coming to your house Friday.
21:05Everybody is coming.
21:07I wanted everybody because we're going to San Diego.
21:10I feel like we should at least be together.
21:13Yeah, that's great.
21:14I mean, I would like to be, I feel like there's a lot of people I've tried having conversations
21:18with and stuff that has not gone well.
21:21I wanted to apologize again for speaking on stuff that I wasn't involved in.
21:25This friendship is dead.
21:27It's done.
21:27Like, I had a funeral for you in my brain.
21:31If there's anything you want to say or, like, get off your chest, I'm happy to listen.
21:40I mean, what are you sensing?
21:41You think this could go even further south than it already is?
21:44I mean, no, I hope not.
21:47But also with certain people, it's like, if you don't, if you can't tell me specifically
21:51what I've done wrong, how am I supposed to apologize?
21:53Well, so I texted Zach yesterday to see if he was coming tonight.
21:57But he called me today and it was like giving me a timeline since before the pandemic of
22:03like things that he feels that you've done.
22:06I'm not nervous to have a conversation with Zach.
22:08And I know Zach and I need to have a serious conversation.
22:11All I want is peace.
22:12But I also know he's not going to drop any giant bombshells.
22:15I know it's all going to be little bull things that he's just nitpicking.
22:18Can he not move on past bull ?
22:20I guess I don't want it to be a have-man.
22:22It is that, though.
22:23It's 10 against 1.
22:25You guys also have to understand these people, especially Danny and Nia, have posted, liked,
22:33commented on some bull about Jason and I.
22:37Danny likes stuff, saying that Jason likes to see me have sex with other men in front of him.
22:43Why is that okay?
22:45But I'm not okay.
22:46It's not about what he's done.
22:47Why are you like-
22:49No, no, this is not me.
22:50I'm not mad at you guys.
22:52I'm yelling about them.
22:54I'm yelling about them.
22:55I'm not mad at you guys.
22:56Come on.
22:56It's like this person talks about it, this person, and I have to like be the one that's like,
23:00well, let's see, let's see.
23:02Every single conversation I have shouldn't be about Janet and Zach or Janet and, like,
23:07like, it should not be about that.
23:08Like, let me, like, enjoy my life.
23:12I'm in a very strange part of my life right now because I am still going through a divorce.
23:17I am trying to establish myself as a single mom.
23:20I can't always try to make everything right for Zach, Janet, Kristen, and my friends constantly
23:27are putting me in the middle.
23:28So it seems like majority of the time I can just never make anybody happy, and that's
23:32really hard on me.
23:34Janet, Janet, sometimes whenever you have talked to them, like, they'll get up and walk away.
23:38You need to just sit down and talk at my pool party.
23:41So I want you to-
23:42I'm sorry.
23:43I'm-
23:43No, I'm not.
23:44I'm not.
23:44I don't want you guys to be in the middle of this anymore.
23:47No, I know.
23:48I'm sorry.
23:48I love it.
23:49No, I don't.
23:49I just, I just, like, it's a lot for me.
23:52Seeing Brittany so upset puts it into perspective, like, I really do need to make an effort here
23:57and try to make things more peaceful in the group, but I'm just so frustrated by this
24:01whole thing.
24:02I don't want any of this.
24:03I want peace.
24:05I'm afraid I'm going to lose you guys over this shit.
24:20Let me order pizza, though.
24:21So, okay, let me see if you guys agree.
24:23A cheese, a vegetable, a jalapeno pepperoni, and Hawaiian.
24:28Um, half your party's on a GLP-1, so yeah, I think it's-
24:32I think it's going to be enough pizzas, babe.
24:35Gifts can come.
24:36Come on, let's get you out of the car seat.
24:39What is this?
24:40What's what?
24:41Do you want a knee tan line?
24:43Is that what you're going for?
24:45Ooh, those socks.
24:47Maybe that's the reason you're not getting laid.
24:49Cheers.
24:49Cheers, cheers, cheers.
24:50To a great day.
24:57You guys can start having fun now because I'm here.
25:00Stop being so gorgeous.
25:05Hey.
25:06Hi.
25:07How are you?
25:07Good, how are you?
25:08Oh, my God, I like this.
25:09Those jeans are going to weigh you down in the pool.
25:11I know, pool party in jeans.
25:13That's what we're hoping.
25:16Oh, thank God there's shade over here today.
25:19Hi, everyone.
25:20Hi.
25:20Hi, Bowen.
25:21Hi, Bow.
25:22Hello.
25:26Oh.
25:26Oh.
25:27You look cute.
25:27Everybody looks cute.
25:28I'm just cute.
25:29Aw.
25:30I was just going to say I got some text messages this morning and wanted to make sure you're okay.
25:33Yeah, sure.
25:35I'm the same as I was then.
25:36Okay.
25:36I'm very, like, neutral.
25:38And to her, that means I'm miserable.
25:39Just let her.
25:40She's going to go through these emotions.
25:42She just had a baby.
25:42You just keep doing what you're doing.
25:44Where's Brittany?
25:44All right, let's go.
25:45She's still getting ready.
25:46They're playing beer pong outside.
25:47She's still getting ready.
25:48Oh.
25:48Hey, guys.
25:49Hey, Smurzy.
25:50Oh, my God.
25:51It's queer from Belmont.
25:52We need to talk about it.
25:53No.
25:54Yeah, we do.
25:55Hey, guys.
25:56You went out with two of your potential girlfriends.
25:58I want to hear all about it.
25:59We've got two potential girlfriends.
26:01Can I have, like, a drink first?
26:02Hey.
26:03What's up?
26:04How are you?
26:04They tried to make me date people.
26:05Wait.
26:05Really?
26:06Yeah.
26:06What'd you do?
26:07I packed.
26:08I like your voice, by the way.
26:09Stop it.
26:10I'm serious.
26:11I should do voiceover work.
26:13I'm flirting.
26:14You should do voiceover work?
26:16Help me.
26:17My kid.
26:18Help me with my kid.
26:20But it's like, I kind of dig somebody.
26:21And it's like, when I dig somebody,
26:23everyone else just kind of disappears.
26:24You just know.
26:25Yeah.
26:25That's how it was when I first met her.
26:27It doesn't matter how beautiful they are.
26:28Who was your life?
26:29And she was gorgeous.
26:30You know when it's sweet.
26:31Hi, guys.
26:33Yay.
26:33How are you?
26:34So good to see you.
26:35Okay, let's get her upstairs so we can enjoy.
26:38Yes.
26:38Like, Natalie was, like, so cute.
26:41And ready, like, even just to make out.
26:43They somehow were, like, nerds together.
26:45And I don't know what you guys were talking about.
26:47No, we bonded.
26:48Yeah, it was sweet.
26:48No, Dane.
26:50Wait, was it just for you?
26:52Him?
26:52We all went out for single night.
26:53No, Schwartz and Michelle are dating.
26:55Shut up.
26:56Aren't you guys sharing?
26:58Aren't you planning a trip to San Diego?
26:59He said you guys are planning a trip to San Diego.
27:02We're not dating.
27:03And you did a salt scrub together.
27:04That doesn't mean we're dating.
27:05And you went out on singles night.
27:07I thought.
27:08Yeah.
27:08So this looks like a love match to me.
27:11Yes.
27:12She is just looking right at me and smiling.
27:14I'm your friend, Brittany.
27:15Oh, wait, wait, wait.
27:16If you guys need anything, let me know.
27:18What?
27:19Wow.
27:21What's up, buddy?
27:22I have a serious question to ask you.
27:23Please.
27:24Do you have undies on today?
27:25I don't.
27:29Who does something like that?
27:31I would be pissed too.
27:32Let's just have a no pants party then.
27:34No pants party.
27:35We can do that.
27:37Brittany, thank you for doing this for all of us.
27:39Yeah, thank you.
27:40What is that?
27:41That's a buffalo chicken dip.
27:42Oh, that's the famous Brittany buffalo chicken dip.
27:44Well, all the girls are here and there's no boys inside.
27:47Michelle and I were talking about San Diego.
27:49Yes.
27:50And we wanted to do something really fun.
27:51Yeah.
27:51So we're all going to dress up a boy.
27:54And we're going to do like kind of like a pageant thing.
27:57And so we're going to dress up like wigs and heels.
27:59And have a contest to like see who wins.
28:01And we think it would be really funny if they wore heels
28:03and like won the runway.
28:05I'm going to do Jesse because I told him that he dresses douchey
28:09and he's really holding on to it.
28:10You should definitely do Jesse.
28:12We already know what Tom looks like.
28:14Tom's so good looking, but he was the ugliest woman
28:16I've ever seen in my life.
28:18It was the worst.
28:18Woo!
28:21Woo!
28:21Woo!
28:21Woo!
28:22I'm down 1,000%.
28:28Is Sharana here?
28:30Not yet.
28:31Is she coming?
28:31Last time she left after five minutes.
28:34Yeah, because I said she shouldn't be here.
28:35So that's why she left.
28:36But why don't she just own her space?
28:38Hey!
28:38Be nice, Kristin.
28:39How you doing?
28:40She asked?
28:41Be your sweet, lovable self.
28:42For your love of Britney, because it stresses Britney out.
28:46It really does.
28:47She should tell that to her.
28:48I'm telling it to you, though.
28:51Brandon has a very tiny lane in Britney's life
28:54and he needs to stay in it.
28:56Like, mind your business, bro.
28:57In that moment, had Janet walked to the back
29:00and gotten in the pool with her son or done her thing,
29:02I just would have stayed away from her
29:03and ignored her like I always do.
29:06Is Janet not coming?
29:07I don't know.
29:08I haven't talked to her since your party.
29:10You want to text her?
29:11Since Sosa's party?
29:12Yeah.
29:13Oh, wait, how was it again?
29:13I didn't go.
29:14Why didn't you go?
29:15I just feel like, for me, I didn't feel comfortable
29:18going to her event after the last things we just talked about.
29:21Okay, can I ask you a question?
29:23What I'm gathering is we have a group of people
29:26who all are making the same decision.
29:30There seems to be, as Britney called it, a hive mentality.
29:34It doesn't seem like you guys are, and this is not an insult,
29:37but thinking for yourselves.
29:40Lala, you have not been around.
29:42All she has is Janet in her ear.
29:43So, of course, she's going to think we're taking a stand
29:46and we're all going to come together.
29:48No, no, no, no, baby.
29:49I beat at my own drum.
29:50I text Janet.
29:52I text her wide.
29:53I'm going to go.
29:53Oh, you did?
29:54It was very nice.
29:54And I said, hey, like, thank you so much for reaching out.
29:57But right now, I think we're just going to sit this one out.
29:59Can't wait to see you at Britney's party.
30:00At this point, I feel like I'm one of the only people who, like,
30:04doesn't have beef with Janet.
30:06And if I did, I certainly wouldn't be passive aggressive.
30:09I'd just be aggressive.
30:10Like, ovary up and say what the you want to say
30:13and have a productive conversation.
30:15I mean, should we see if she's coming?
30:18Text her.
30:18I don't have my phone.
30:20Because I am worried.
30:21She did, like, a fertility appointment today
30:22and she wasn't feeling well.
30:24Oh, text her.
30:25End this game.
30:27You guys were two girls ten cups.
30:30And now you're two girls one cup.
30:33These don't have alcohol in them, right?
30:35Right?
30:36I don't think so.
30:37I don't think that one does.
30:37Lala was asking me about how me and Jen are.
30:40From her perspective, she felt that you and Nia were, like,
30:44conspiring.
30:45Conspiring.
30:46She didn't say conspiring.
30:47See, I don't want people to say the right word.
30:49But, like, you guys are the ringleader.
30:51Do you make decisions for yourself?
30:52Do you make decisions for yourself?
30:55Yes.
30:55Do you make decisions for yourself, Melissa?
30:57Mm-hmm.
30:57Yeah.
30:58All right.
31:01I'm tired of talking with Janet.
31:04She's not even here.
31:06Why are we talking?
31:07Exactly.
31:08We're giving her what she wants, y'all.
31:09Everybody take a breath.
31:11I think what's happening, if some people are wondering,
31:13if you guys are, like, talking, like, we should all hate Janet.
31:16And I think that is not the case.
31:17Absolutely not.
31:18But that's what's happening.
31:19Hey, bud.
31:20This is another situation where Janet can twist everything in.
31:24Janet, you're not here.
31:24I'm a victim.
31:26It doesn't matter.
31:27I'm saying it's still twi-
31:28Chill.
31:29Calm.
31:29Hello.
31:31Calm.
31:33I think we've all talked about this for about a year.
31:36Calm the down.
31:37How's it going, man?
31:38Jason.
31:41Jason.
31:41Hi, buddy.
31:43They asked my dietary restrictions.
31:45And I said, it's a really a toxic thing for me to have a Caperna around me.
31:51And I just saw two Caperna's come in.
31:54How are you?
31:56How's it going, man?
31:56Jason.
31:57Nice to meet you.
31:58Way to meet you.
31:59Yeah, seriously.
32:00Oh, God.
32:00I don't even know how I wanted...
32:01I was like, now I wanted to go get a drink.
32:03And now I can't because...
32:04Why?
32:05Guess who just walked in?
32:07Caperna's.
32:08I like the way you said it.
32:10You look so cute!
32:12I just have to read and work out twice a day.
32:14That's the problem.
32:15I could cut beer out of my diet.
32:17I wouldn't.
32:17I know.
32:17But instead of a beer, I'll have a White Claw.
32:20Because...
32:21My least favorite thing in the world.
32:22I know.
32:22They hurt my stomach.
32:23They used to hurt my stomach, too, for some reason.
32:25You evolved.
32:26But I evolved.
32:27I did.
32:28I just want to check in with you.
32:30If you'll go over here with me.
32:31Let's just have a little heart-to-heart.
32:33We brought some wine, obviously.
32:35Wait, where's Brandon?
32:36Okay, smile.
32:38Sorry, I'm interrupting conversation for a selfie.
32:40We'll have to capture every...
32:41Is there anything that you're not looking forward to
32:44at the party today, like seeing Janet and Jason?
32:46Who?
32:50Come on!
32:51Come on!
32:52I just want to see how you are,
32:54because Kristen texted me this morning
32:56and was saying that all of a sudden
32:58you were in a bad mood,
32:59and that you were like,
33:01I want to fish and do all this stuff
33:03and I'm sacrificing or whatever,
33:04and she's like,
33:05wait, what?
33:06Like, you can go fish,
33:07and then you said it was too far.
33:08I don't know.
33:09That was none of the conversation.
33:11That's what I'm saying as far as what the words I say...
33:13I know, that's what I'm asking.
33:13That's what I'm asking you.
33:14...and what she hears is the problem
33:15with our communication.
33:16I know.
33:16That's why I said you need a third party there.
33:19I know.
33:20Take a deep breath.
33:21But it's also like one of those things...
33:23I kind of want to hash out all the little things.
33:24It's like it's a bigger thing
33:25than anything that happened today.
33:27It's a communication issue that we need to work out.
33:30Having Kristen hear it from a trained medical professional,
33:35even if it's what we've said a thousand times,
33:37I feel like it does sink in better.
33:40Kristen would say we shouldn't need counseling.
33:43We shouldn't need a therapist.
33:44We should just be able to talk to each other.
33:46But, I mean, from my perspective, I try a lot.
33:49And it turns south pretty quick.
33:52There are some issues that we need to work out,
33:54and we aren't able to talk to each other on a level
33:57where we can solve them on our own.
33:58There are times I feel like I'm fighting for us,
34:00and she's fighting to show me that I'm wrong.
34:02I feel like anything I do is heavily scrutinized
34:05on a regular basis,
34:06and the only time I bring up any criticism to Kristen
34:08is about how she talks to me or responds to things.
34:12I'm not criticizing anything she's doing,
34:13how she's doing anything.
34:14And it turns into this pissing match that I don't want,
34:16and that's...
34:17Honestly, how many times have I heard both of you
34:20say something where I'm like,
34:22you need to, like, talk to the other person,
34:24or, like, and I've even told you,
34:26if you want me to sit there and mediate
34:27to try to, you know, translate between you two,
34:31I will.
34:32But, like, again, it's not really healthy
34:35for you all to have me do that,
34:36nor is it healthy for me.
34:37And I think it's better with a third party.
34:39But I think, actually I know,
34:41you guys are great together.
34:42It's just you guys need a little help,
34:45and that's never a bad thing.
34:47Look, I've never had a kid before.
34:49I don't know.
34:50I've never been with a woman
34:52through her pregnancy, birth, postpartum.
34:55This is all new to me,
34:56and I know that this is a version of Kristen
34:58that hopefully won't last.
35:01It doesn't make it any easier for me.
35:03But overall, like, I'm not a quitter.
35:06What do they say?
35:07Smooth seas never made a skillful sailor.
35:10So these aren't smooth seas.
35:12The fact that you guys are willing to work through it,
35:15that's all that matters.
35:16And I think that it will get better.
35:21Hi.
35:22Hi.
35:22How are you?
35:23Good to see you.
35:24Good to see you.
35:25Okay, let's join the fun.
35:27Okay.
35:27We'll go one, two, one for a last re-rec.
35:29I have to use the restroom.
35:31I'll be right back.
35:31I'm a great ping-ponger.
35:34What is this called?
35:36Beer pong.
35:37It's called beer pong.
35:37Let me show you how great I am.
35:39Nope.
35:40Just walk away.
35:41No, I got this.
35:42I got this, baby.
35:44It's almost tied.
35:46So how are you doing?
35:48I'm fine.
35:48With, like, kind of letting go a little bit?
35:50Oh, it's really hard.
35:51The nanny goes upstairs with Kaya.
35:53I told Brittany.
35:55She doesn't let go at all.
35:55When she told me about her, I was like,
35:57I feel like Kristen's gonna have the hardest time
35:59just, like, letting go.
36:01I mean, when I know I have to do things,
36:03like work things, I'm like,
36:06thank God we have someone.
36:08But then I literally asked Luke.
36:10Luke, what did I ask you?
36:12What?
36:13I said, do you think Kaya?
36:14No.
36:14Because now that she's with Elondra,
36:17I said, do you think she remembers me?
36:19You did say that.
36:21She doesn't.
36:21She forgot your home.
36:22Oh, God.
36:22Don't say that.
36:24Oh, my God.
36:25I can't say that.
36:28Coming up.
36:29When you take things to a certain level,
36:31you want destruction.
36:32That's what I don't like.
36:33You know what?
36:34Sorry.
36:34We're going to other people.
36:35How do you feel about me and Danny right now?
36:37Do you think that you?
36:38Nope, you are.
36:38I'm not gonna sit here and talk to you about others.
36:39Well, yes, you are.
36:45She's looking tired, but we really should be leaving
36:48in, like, 20 to 25 minutes.
36:50And I want to keep her awake so she sleeps in the car,
36:53but look at this.
36:53Her eyes are so tired.
36:55I feel like this is just one of those moments
36:56where I'm gonna ask you, or should I just do it?
36:59I'm just gonna go talk to her.
37:00I'm fine.
37:01I'm fine.
37:02Why do you have mosquitoes and I don't?
37:03I don't know, because I'm sprayed.
37:05Hi, how are you?
37:06Hey, how are you?
37:07You look great.
37:09So do you.
37:10I feel like let's just...
37:12Yeah, you want to talk?
37:13I would love if Janet and I weren't beefing with each other,
37:16and it probably would make things a lot easier.
37:18But in every situation, Janet is just always trying
37:22to make herself the victim.
37:23But, hey, once again, I'm gonna give her one more opportunity.
37:27I feel like you're, like, very glowing and very, like...
37:30I'm pretty happy.
37:32Oh, .
37:33I feel like every year is a lesson.
37:35And my lesson, I feel like, from last year was, like,
37:36shut the up and listen a little bit more.
37:38And this is the thing I'm working on on my own,
37:41like, separately from whatever issues it creates.
37:43I feel like this is a hard conversation for me to even start
37:47because I don't want to do this again.
37:50Maybe it's a thing where, like, you and I coexist in a way
37:52that, like, I would like to have fun,
37:54whatever that feels like for you.
37:56I want us to get over this bullshit I guess.
37:58Let me...
37:58Okay, you know what?
37:59I'm gonna go back to...
38:00Okay, then...
38:00Let me just start with the thing about pool day.
38:04You were like,
38:05oh, no, Kristen kicked me out of the house,
38:07and you made it seem like it was this huge thing.
38:10The language you use and what you say to other people...
38:13I should be more careful,
38:13and I should only use specific facts
38:16of exactly what happened
38:17and never paraphrase how I felt in that situation.
38:19Okay, you know what?
38:20Sorry, we're going to other people.
38:21How do you feel about me and Danny right now?
38:23Do you think that you...
38:24I don't.
38:24Nope, you are.
38:25I'm not gonna sit here and talk to you about other people.
38:26Well, yes, you are.
38:27He's very detail-oriented.
38:29I can't stand that.
38:30I couldn't keep up.
38:31Zach's receipts on Janet
38:32are longer than the receipts you get at CVS.
38:36They're longer than this.
38:38You're wearing a blue shirt at 5 p.m. on this day,
38:42and this is what you said.
38:43Do you remember?
38:44I'm like, no.
38:45When you take things to a certain level,
38:47you want destruction.
38:48You want to destroy the other person,
38:51and then you'll accept them back.
38:52You are so right,
38:53but you're on a pedestal,
38:55and you are like...
38:56I don't want to be on a pedestal.
38:57I don't.
38:58At all.
38:59I mean, here I am showing through my actions
39:01that I'm moving differently.
39:04I'm speaking differently.
39:06Isn't that what they're asking of me?
39:07I am ready to apologize
39:09as long as we can end this conversation.
39:11I wish I would have never used the words I used.
39:13Okay, perfect.
39:13I actually wish that I would have...
39:15Because you are friends with Danny, Nia,
39:17and Jasmine, and Melissa,
39:18the way you handled everything last year,
39:20I actually admire.
39:22You acknowledged what happened
39:25without involving yourself
39:26while being supportive to both friends.
39:28That was something I did not do right.
39:30Have you said this to either?
39:32No, I have not.
39:33But, Janet...
39:34I've said this to Jasmine.
39:35I've said this to Nina.
39:36Wait, hold on.
39:36Why are you not doing...
39:37This is the Janet...
39:38I haven't had the opportunity to.
39:39I haven't had the opportunity to.
39:40No, but you did.
39:42You don't have to actually say...
39:44but I've moved on.
39:45But right now, coming at me,
39:47you're smiling.
39:48And it really hurts.
39:49It's like...
39:49I want to smile at you
39:50because I want happiness
39:52and to move forward.
39:53I'm sorry that what I said hurt you.
39:56That came from me being like,
39:58you know what?
39:58I always have to be right,
39:59which is something I'm personally grappling with.
40:03This is what I wanted to hear from you.
40:04And I love this.
40:06I just want Zach to be a fun person
40:08that's around,
40:09that when we're together,
40:09we can laugh and have a good time.
40:11Like, hopefully,
40:12he's gonna follow me on Instagram.
40:14You guys have been talking for 45 minutes.
40:16Let's go in the pool.
40:17It's a pool party.
40:18Come on.
40:19Come on.
40:20Let's go in the pool.
40:20Please.
40:21Yes.
40:23I hate straight people so much.
40:25I know.
40:25Do you get embarrassed easily?
40:28About sexual stuff?
40:29Yeah.
40:29But other than that, no.
40:30So, like, if you cleaved or something,
40:31you'd get embarrassed?
40:38Am I allowed to laugh?
40:39I'm leaving.
40:40No way.
40:41Don't leave.
40:42Do one of you guys have a weed pen?
40:44I didn't bring one here.
40:45I'm gonna order one.
40:46She has weed in the cupboard.
40:49Janet wanted to smoke,
40:50and I was like,
40:51that's a really great idea right now.
40:53This girl,
40:54that's your wife.
40:58Woo!
40:59Okay.
41:00This is not an olive branch.
41:02This is not a piece of pipe.
41:03This feels like a little reminiscent
41:05of our friendship in old times,
41:06and I'll take it.
41:08It's not that deep.
41:10I wanna go pee in the pool,
41:11and then I'm ready to go.
41:13Jess, are you here?
41:14Bye-bye.
41:15Bye, I love you.
41:16Mwah!
41:17I'm exhausted.
41:19I'm gonna go drink my feelings in a pool.
41:21Who's gonna kiss?
41:22Melissa, who's gonna kiss?
41:24They said no.
41:24The fact that they're, like,
41:25begging somebody to kiss somebody's hilarious.
41:27Swartz and Michelle!
41:27Swartz and Michelle!
41:28They're not kissing.
41:29Jessie said you could do it.
41:31Do it!
41:32Do it!
41:32As if I need his permission.
41:33Jessie's not even here.
41:35This is called peer pressure, people.
41:37Kiss it.
41:38You got a kiss.
41:39Let's kiss.
41:44This pool party was a tremendous success.
41:49The thing is, is every time we have a splendid day,
41:53it's always the calm before the storm.
41:57This is Zach's nightmare.
41:59Don't gaslight me.
42:00It's not all good.
42:01This is what I'm talking about.
42:03Well, I guess you guys just don't mean much to me.
42:06But if I was married to you, I'd cheat on you, too.
42:09you.
42:10The way you're talking to her.
42:11This is making me feel very uncomfortable.
42:14She's triggered!
42:15There's only so much I can empathize with.
42:18If maybe this is a big deal, it's making me so uncomfortable.
42:21knock it off, dog.
42:23I'm not with you right now.
42:25I'm actually pissed right now.
42:27I pushed him through a window.
42:29Jessie.
42:29Yeah, she did.
42:31Stop!
