This RW is the best one as of late-I couldn't even watch the Philadelphia one. I actually enjoy everyone from this cast.

I am kind of sick of Danny and his on and off attitude about Melinda. She has done nothing but be very caring and very supportive of him all season and he still is waffling about whether he wants to be with her or not? I was so glad when she walked out of the bar and left him the other night, but I would have preferred it if she had refused to have anything to do with him. But he did act very caring toward her while she was getting sick.

He shouldn't have pushed for the relationship if he wasn't willing to make the commitment...he was the one that encouraged her to break up with her old boyfriend and then the minute she did he started the "well, I'm not sure about making the commitment" thing. I realize he's had a tough time but he is really unfair toward her, IMO.

And she shouldn't be such a doormat!

roxip, I think he's pushing her away because he's still grieving and he really didn't know what she was doing while he was gone (and before he left, didn't he find out she kissed Wes?)... trust has to be an issue right now, plus confused emotions since so much is changing in his life.

starting a new relationship seems too much to think about, I'd bet. Maybe he had time to think about if she really is his type (originally she wasn't because he said he liked more conservative girls).

I also think Mel would have broken up with the boyfriend on her own anyway without anyone's suggestions since she was flirting with others and didn't really seem to want to be committed to that boyfriend since the beginning of the show.

I don't think she's being a doormat and I don't think he's purposely being mean to her. she should consider what he's going through and give him some time and then pursue the relationship later if she's still interested in him.

I realize that, but he was doing this yes/no stuff before the death of his mother (remember he couldn't wait to go out with Wes the minute he was able to after his eye surgery?). I just find it irritating.

I think both of them jumped into this relationship too soon, but then again I'm 47, been through the relationship wars and probably have a lot different perspective on it...you think?

Man oh man what the heck is wrong with Rachel? Seems like she's the only one who can't handle Nehemiah... it was a weird argument since we really didn't get to see what led up to her outburst but boy oh boy was she upset... granted he shouldn't call her a even jokingly but she has to control herself, he obviously was messing around or even if he wasn't, just laugh him off... watching her try to think of insults was funny, hoping he gets shot and killed on the street, what a classy chick!

What the heck is wrong with Wes? Now he doesn't want Johanna but this Wren girl and what kind of name is that? lol... He's obviously fickle and only wants the girls he can't get...

The other roommate made a comment which I didn't understand, she said Johanna is so far out of Wes' league... I didn't know if she meant Johanna was to good for him or not good enough... anyone?

Is it just me or did it seem like, for most of Rachel's tirade, she looked like she was trying REAL hard not to laugh?

If she really was that angry, I think it might be because some of what Nehemiah said hit a little too close to home. She wants to play around, but wants to be perceived as being faithful to her boyfriend, too. He called her out on it and she got pissed. Boo hoo.

I don't care for Wes. I'm not sure why. But when he was saying that he's really not a nice guy, I was agreeing with him.

I think the out of Wes' league comment was an indication that what's-her-name thinks Johanna is a lot better looking than Wes is and that IRL, she probably wouldn't give Wes the time of day.

Everything Max just said. Also, Wes said that when he goes into a bar he looks for the best looking girl to hit on---- it sounds like it is just a game to him. At this point in his life his interaction with the opposite sex is pretty superficial.

"At this point in his life his interaction with the opposite sex is pretty superficial."

Which is actually fine with me. What I don't get, though, is why he thinks he's such a prize? He's not all that much to look at. Danny is a LOT cuter. And personality-wise, he's not that hot as far as I can see, either. In Austin, I'm sure the cameras and a chance for getting next to some "fame" would lure some girls, but beyond that, I'm clueless.

I totally agree that Jo is out of Wes' league. She has so much more class and is better looking. Just in the way she handled her relationship with Leo. She got to know him sober before really starting anything and then decided that she wasn't interested. If it was Wes, he would only be interested if the sex was good, and would never be sober around the girl.
I don't think that Wes and Wren will last since she didn't like the 'guy's night out' and it seems that is the high light of his weeks.
Personally I think Wes is going to get real hurt "making out" with Jo. She thinks its all fun and games but once him and Wren are over he is going to want more since he thinks he can have it.
I have to say that I appreciate Wes losing his bet with Lacy.
I think it is great that Danny took Rachel aside and talked to her. For a person having been through PTSD The only real solution is to talk about what happened.

One last thing. I am glad they lost focus on Danny and Mel for an episode. It was getting a little old. But where was mel during the Rachel and Nehemiah?

I got the impression Wren was mad at Wes about something else and he completely had no clue. Did you hear her tone when he asked her where she was going? She was like, "Where I always go," and said it really snotty. This goes over his head and he mentions where he is going, and her response is "well wherever it is, it won't be with ME" and she hangs up! He must have done something pretty bad. Wish we knew.

Nehemiah rubs me the wrong way. When you know that you have upset someone, it is really disrespectful to laugh in their face. He is an instigator and never takes responsibility for anything. He really messes with Danny and Wes's heads also. I would so not have anything to do with him!

I don't agree at all Alisons. Did you see how amazing Nehemiah was after Danny found out about his mom's death? Rachel was acting like a lunatic and of course he's gonna laugh, it's either that or argue back with a nutcase, I think he chose a good route. I don't see him messing with the guys' heads. If anything I would say that about Wes.

I certainly hope that Nehemiah's mom has gotten her act together. She sure sounded like it when she was on the phone with him. She gave him some very wise advice.

That was some scene re: Nehemiah getting mad and Wes is a great friend, letting Nehemiah push him and just seeing past it... Nehemiah has things to work through, just makes me feel for him, it can't be easy being a black man hanging in a mostly white crowd and being filmed and being taunted like they do, add alcohol and not a nice scene...

But I love Nehemiah and thought Danny's portrait of him was amazing. I see a strong man who will only get stronger. His mom sounds like she's very strong and completely there for him, seems like what happened in the past can be healed.

Is it me or is Rachel getting fatter? She's such a cute girl, 15 pounds lighter she'd probably be gorgeous...

Not much of Jo yesterday or Mel..

Lindsey is a bit nuts re: the music...

I wonder where their trip will be and when it'll come up...

I know I said earlier that I was glad they took the focus off Danny and Mel, But now I feel like we are left out of the loop. The last we saw of them was the day Danny came back and he was unsure of his intentions in persuing the relationship... Does anyone know what is going on.. Are there any other sites that have information on these two??

I saw somewhere online that Danny and Mel are engaged.

Nehemiah tells Rachel she is a and then laughs when she gets upset? You are so right, he is just a victim of racism, and so nonjudgemental of everyone else. Poor thing. And so classy to point out a weight gain in a young girl! You are on a roll!

I thought it was interesting that Mel is everyone's confidante in the house. Whenever you see someone talking over a situation they are usually talking to Mel...kind of a role reversal to what I thought of her originally in the house.

I don't like the fact that Nehemiah gets his jollies from pushing Rachel's buttons. He seems to enjoy the fact that he can make her lose control...not a very mature thing to do. She does need to control herself and come to terms with her issues but he shouldn't try and cause her to do so.

I was impressed by Wes and his actions with Nehemiah in that episode. He truly was a good friend to get Nehemiah away from the situation and not let his attitude get to him.

Alisons, I'm not saying he was nice to say that to her, but her reaction consisting of flipping out, screaming, ranting, telling him he should be shot or die of an aneurism to me was over the top and if I were him I would've laughed in her face too.

I think Rachel is very pretty but she needs to watch her weight... precisely the fact that she's young, she should try to do something now before it gets harder as she gets older. I wasn't trying to pick on her, this is a message board and it was just an observation.

Oh well, guess they'll be more to talk about after tonight's episode...

Okay now Danny really is pissing me off! Mel is completely right to feel the way she does. He wants his cake and to eat it too... If I didn't know they're now living together I'd bet they broke up.

Pretty uninteresting show last night... wish they'd take a real trip already or spotlight more of them at work...

Danny doesn't know what he wants. One minute, he needs to go out and have fun while he can, which I totally understand, but then at the same time (his favorite phrase) he doesn't want to lose Mel. Well, we know that they are together now so I guess this is all moot. And gossip Lacy! Danny wasn't saying he had spurs, that was Wes.

My opinion - it is a lot more fun to imagine the fun you would have going out when you already have someone than it is to actually go out when you are not seeing anyone.

When is this show ever going to end?Of course I may be getting bored with it, they seem to do the same thing every week.
Jo is drunk and acting up.
Lacey has to gossip about everyone.
Wes thinks he's god's gift to women.
Rachel & Nehemiah argue.
Mel and Danny ..blah, blah, blah.
I want to kick Danny, if we wants to sleep around then do it but don't string Mel along. Men!

Yes, I know I don't have to watch it but my daughter and I have watched every RW the past few years and will watch the next RW if they have one.

IA Willsfan... this season has been very competetive and starting to seem long... I imagine they'll take a trip somewhere cool but when? they don't focus on their jobs much and I wish they would...
