    EPISODE 10:

    “You’ve Been Served”

    AWARDS:

    +5 BEST LINE:

    • ZACK!! For this FIRE retort that is setting the Internet ABLAZE:
      • Jax: “it’s my show. My show. My show. My show, not yours.” Zack: “It wasn’t for the past 30 days.”

    +5 MOST UNHINGED:

    • Jax. For the entire fucking episode. But my favorite is that he fucked up the Naked Gun ref on his IG burner.

    +5 TOOK MOST SHIT:

    • Danny. Jax’s scapegoat.

    +5 MVP, FOR DOING THE MOST:

    • Zack! Hero!!!

    +5 LVP, FOR DOING THE LEAST:

    • Michelle. I forgot she was in the ep. Even though Luke and Jasmine got less points, Luke is planning an engagement and Jasmine fucked up the surprise party.

    THOUGHTS:

    This was -by far- the most difficult episode for me to watch twice. Jax is infuriating. I would have docked him 50% of his points for being an abusive piece of shit, but I felt bad for the teams who drafted him and thus only subtracted -5 (the same value as an Award). If this game had thousands of teams playing, trust he would be heavily reduced. It’s shocking how insulated and coddled Jax is by most of the cast, despite his abhorrent behavior. I have lost all respect for Jason, who is stupidly doing Jax’s dirty work by scapegoating Danny as the alcoholic abuser. But, it’s not really all that surprising when you remember that Jason is, in fact, an attorney who defends corporations against workers’ comp claims. So, par for the fucking course. And then there’s Jasmine who tried to convince Zack that, “we need to make sure we are giving him space to show us he has changed”… girl, what? You saw the barrage of abusive rage texts he sent Brittany, AND you are definitely aware of the fact he has been stalking and threatening her, NOT TO MENTION that he got fucked up on cocaine and threw furniture at her… with their child in the house. Jasmine has proved -yet again- that abuse only matters if it gives her a story line. And then there’s Jesse, who is happy to hide his own narcissistic abuse in the darkness of Jax’s shadow. Our VPR alums Schwartz and Kristen are the only ones who get a kind-of-sort-of pass, being that their lives are so intrinsically intertwined, and neither of them are fully allowing him to get away with his shit.

    At least we have Zack – OUR HERO, and winner of two Awards: MVP and BEST LINE. Zack masterfully put this monster in his place after his “my show” tantrum with the line heard round the Internet: “It wasn’t for the past 30 days.” If he hadn’t won for that, he would have won with: “Everyone can unclench their buttholes, Jax Taylor has left the building!” Zack is the overall point winner of the episode and had Brittany’s back in a way that she has never had for him.

    The only other thing I want to mention is the 30 day sober token that Jax kissed when he got in Jesse’s car. What was that about??? Sober FROM WHAT? He went to that “rehab” for his anger issues, which were decidedly NOT cleared up, evident by his wildly abusive behavior while he was there. He immediately claimed that “drugs and alcohol weren’t my problem”, with no plans to quit as of this episode. Oh Frank_Dremon… you crazy fucking liar. I’m honestly getting mad all over again and need to just close this blog out for the night! Sorry this wasn’t more point focused, but you can all read the detailed point values on the home page. xo.

    NOTES:

    None.
