Doh, thanks for that reminder, BabyJaxmom. What does it say about someone who can be easily prompted to act like a mean fool. Another thing why wasn't there more initial outrage over the bed situation?

I caught the episode last night. I think that we all know people like the two who came in last night. They pretty much peaked in high school and would like to relive the experience so they party a bit too much, to put it nicely.

I watched this last night, too. You put it very nicely, Mamie. Nicer than than most would have put it! I also wondered why there wasn't more outrage over the beds being outside. But, it was probably edited out. Ugh and those two guys with their rating system for women. They sound like middle school boys rather than grown men.

Did they ever get their beds back in or did they have to do it themselves? The racist comment and hijinx had to be "encouraged" it was way over the top - but where is their High School? Arizona? I dont know - I went to my 10 year reunion, it was fine, getting back with friends etc - - (I get to go to 3 reunions - I moved in high school - my 1st school I went from K-10th grade, and then DH was in the class behind me! my other school only 2 years, but I went to that reunion too - it was so odd at the20 year reunion - I'll NEVER go to another - the bright spot tho was the "gay table" - all the kids were confident to be "out" - only they became such a strong clique, they wouldnt talk to anyone else - it was odd, because I thought I was close to at least 2 of them! - and knew they were gay back then...) Love the teaser for later this season - what's the big secret? Could it be a "love" child???

Can you believe that they still have not resolved the Dennis situation? Good grief. LOL about the date where Kara (or is it Tara?) talks about Tom too much. We may be on to something about the exes getting back together?

Yeah, I was surprised that they didn't resolve the Dennis saga last night. This episode just seemed really stretched out to fill up the time. There wasn't much content in it at all.

Do you think Dennis should leave? He still has some supporters in the house.

I don't know that I think he should leave. I do think they should address the issues to his face instead of all the whispering and condemning behind the back. He was drunk and obviously has an alcohol problem. The guy who is so adamant about booting Dennis is getting on my nerves. He obviously has issues from 20 years ago and seems to be glad he can now get even with Dennis. I'm definitely not saying I didn't see the hateful things Dennis said. I just know that people with alcohol problems sometimes take on a whole different personality than they have when sober. No excuses for him, but I think he deserves a direct confrontation and a chance to express himself (sober).

I agree that his past issues is the reason he was so adamant about it. Dennis probably should leave because you know he's more than likely going to get drunk again and say some kind of crap.

I think they should give him a chance to give his side of the story. Most seemed willing to forgive if he did. So when they said a classmate leaves in tears - do you really think it is Dennis that leaves or do you think they give him a second chance and the girl who was so upset just leaves?

They really are trying to make us think that someone does leave but they could be messing with us. I have a weird idea that Scott (the clown) leaves. He was really upset with Dennis about the "gay" comments. Wasn't the look on Tom's face priceless when his ex returned from her date?

Yeah, I think Tom and his ex are still in love with each other and I kind of hope they reconnect. Didn't they get divorced 8 years ago? It's funny neither has moved on yet.....

Yup. They definitely are still connected. I thought Tom had said 8 years but when Kara was out on her date with Scott (the loner), I think she said 3 years. I have been going over to TVLand to read some blogs and still have not discovered how long Tom and Kara have been divorced or whether they have children. Still a mystery surrounding those two. Oh, a couple of bloggers mentioned that Tom and Kara were still connected too. It isn't just us seeing that they still care for each other. It must have been a very friendly divorce? Tyrone doesn't want Dennis to leave. Tyrone said that in 30 years, Dennis has not said anything racist to him. Dennis managed to bring both race and gay controversy into the program in one episode. I agree that Dennis shouldn't drink but I would not forgive him just because he was drinking.

I wonder if Dennis drinks and acts like this all the time, or is just doing it because he is back with high school people. I know when a bunch of my college friends got back together for a wedding years after we had graduated, some people fell back into the college drinking thing...and these are all very responsible people who rarely do it now. Especially in that situation people can act like idiots. Not that I think he should be left off the hook, but I felt like having someone he was close to him talk with him (was it Scott who took him on the hall pass...I still can't get the names right) was a good way to handle it. He seemed to get it and was ready to apologize. But some people like drama! It looks like Tom and Kara came there wanting to see each other. Kara made a comment about him not paying attention to her...a common divorce reason. It will be interesting to hear his side. Probably both thought the grass would be greener elsewhere and discovered that there aren't a lot of perfect people out there and funnily enough, we can't divorce ourself so things that we brought into past relationships we often carry into the new ones.

I thought Scott showed a lot of compassion by asking Dennis on the Hall Pass with him. The guy definitely has a problem with alcohol. I think if he shows genuine remorse for his behavior and doesn't drink again while he's there, I'd forgive him. Some people get really crazy when they drink and do things they would never do when sober. I actually felt sorry for him. He needs to stay away from the booze.

I missed this last episode. Dennis is definitely a <76> when hes drinking.What did Dennis say that was racist? I heard him say that the woman who left H.S. early because she was pregnant looked like Buckwheat but I only considered that as a mean thing to say,not racist.Just as if he would have said one of the other girls looked like Pee-Wee Herman or something.Did he say something else?I wish they had captions cause I miss alot on shows like this and Big Brother. Did the loner girl confront the cheerleader about being awful to her in Highschool?Is this show on again before the nxt episode.

Lakecat, one good thing about this show is that it airs over again. It was on over the week-end and I just checked and it will air again late tonight. Perhaps you could record it? Dennis made the first "buckwheat" comment when he saw her photograph. This was before they started drinking. As the evening and drinking continued Dennis actually used the term while talking with Sholanda. The loner and cheerleader thing was only in the previews. (I think lol)

Lakecat, were you able to get caught up? TV Land has some videos of the episodes, including sneak peeks of upcoming episodes. This is what TV Land posted for tonight's 4th episode: "The house is divided as the classmates struggle with the decision to kick out Dennis, the Troublemaker, after his abusive behavior the night before..." I deleted a couple of sentences because they pretty much would have spoiled tonight's episode.

I think the "class clown" sure does act like a wet blanket. First he was upset about Dennis and now he's on the war path to "fix" the cheerleader and wannabe's relationship. He seems to have lost his sense of humor in the 20 years since high school. Give Dennis a break, I say, he apologized. I'm sure most of the others have done stupid things when they drank, too. It's not the end of the world.

Not the most interesting episode for me. I am still not quite sure why the guy left. I almost felt like they were all acting like over-emotional melodramatic high schoolers!

BB Hawaii! LOL They were getting a little overly-dramatic. I was glad that Dennis listened to everyone's reports of his actions without getting defensive and sincerly apologized. He was drunk and out of control. He was sorry. Let it end there and hope the guy takes a serious look at his drinking. He was obviously in a blackout, since he remembered nothing the next day. I can't believe that one guy left because of it. I felt sorry for Lynette when she found out who her "Secret Admirer" was. She obviously was not into him and he doesn't have a clue. She seemed painfully trying to be nice to him, without seeming to encourage his attention. The producers set that situation up knowing there was no way she would be interested in him. Poor guy.

Lynnette looked like she was in pain! I also wonder just how nice she would have been if the cameras weren't rolling. I'm sure if Dennis gets plastered again, the same crap will spew out of his mouth. I cannot stand the ex-cheerleader. She is still the same mean girl she was in school. The whole "you just don't get my sense of humor" crap is so phony. It's sad that she hasn't changed and it's sad that the other girl is so bothered by it still. That shows how much bullying hurts the person being bullied and not the person doing it. There was a girl who used to pick on my daughter in junior high. She was just mean. My daughter met up with her in college and the girl was very friendly. Elizabeth told her that she was very hurt by how she treated her back then. The girl said she didn't remember doing it but she apologized.

Mamie, I think that's common for the bullier to not remember, since they may not have realized how much they were hurting the person they were picking on at the time. The girl who was bullied just needs to let it go. It was 20 years ago and they've all grown up since then. The cheerleader tried to apologize, but if that's not good enough for the girl who was bullied that's just too bad. It's all she's going to get. She needs to just move on and not let it affect her time with her friends. I'm sure if Dennis gets plastered again, the same crap will spew out of his mouth. That's why I think he needs to look at his drinking. He's obviously got a problem with alcohol. Not being able to remember what you said or did the night before is a big warning sign. Like most of the alcoholics I've ever known, he seems like a pretty decent and nice guy when he's not drinking. He just should not drink--at all.

I don't think the ex-cheerleader really apologized. It was "I'm sorry but....you don't get my sense of humor." That's not an apology. I do think the other girl needs to let it go though. She's not going to get what she wants from her and quite frankly, I don't think that even if she got down on her knees, crying and begging her for forgiveness, it would be enough for her. She's carrying some heavy baggage.
