Top Episodes Quotes
- “Okay, so we're still at the hotel at this point. But I mean, I mean, I don't think I need to say a lot for people to be able to draw their conclusions to what happened. It's like, pretty much what was written in the stone from, like, day four. Like, what anyone could have guessed happened.“ by Micah Lussier
- “I think anyone in that situation would have reacted poorly, because at this point, she's like, oh, my gosh, like, I have this hot boyfriend. It's like her big day, like, everything's going great, and then you have someone come in and say something so aggressively in front of everyone. I think it was just really hard for her to keep year at that point.“ by Micah Lussier
