[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big was that tip Belinda received?[/quote]  That's another thing, I was hoping we'd see Belinda off somewhere doing something great, living her best life. But instead you see her (along with the pregnant woman from the first episode, btw) waving from the shore greeting the new set of guests.  There were all these small and intersting nuances that went nowhere. [/quote]

[b]But isn’t that the point of the show? The cycle of exploitation continues. The rich people just continue on their merry ways.[/b]  Shane leaves the resort with a handshake after stabbing the manager. Paula leaves Kai to face whatever his fate is. Jennifer Coolidge leaves Belinda after getting her hopes up. Etc etc. [/quote]

This.

Are our main characters changed? Sure, a little. [/quote]

I actually thought Shane was changed. He looked genuinely stricken after he inadvertently killed Armond then hopeful and genuinely loving when he saw Rachel again. Maybe it won't last but there was something there. The daughter was genuinely sweet and protective to her friend after her major assholery to the people who had been nothing but generous to her. And the Mossbachers, who didn't seem like bad people, got out of their own @sses and managed to connect with one another (minus Quinn, who found more meaning in the beauty of nature). Belinda was disappointed but received a massive tip for a few days' annoyance and then stood up for herself. And the psychically tormented Jennifer Coolidge seemed to find a bit of peace and happiness, and some wisdom about her bad emotional habits. I thought there was a quiet beauty to it. With the exception of Paula's and Armond's dark arcs.[/quote]

My HBO got confused the other day, and when I clicked on episode 6, episode 1 started to play. I mistakenly thought the last episode started exactly the same as the first, so I watched several minutes until I figured it out.

Anyway, in the beginning scene at the airport, Shane looks out the window and sees the human remains getting rolled onto the plane. He does this puffed up, hands in pockets sigh as he watches. And then I knew that Armand was dead and that Shane felt pleased about it. [b]His “thank god” at seeing his wife was not so much love but the relief that he won’t have to tell his mom/friends that his marriage lasted 1 week.[/b]

I don’t think anyone is a better, more moral person after the vacation, except maybe Quinn. If anything, they’re more extreme versions of their old selves. [/quote]

This. Shane didn't want to have to tell the world that his wife figured out he was an a$$ within 48 hours.[/quote]
