I have watched every episode. Love this show. I met Smitty a short while back on the street during my run!! It was a great moment.
I loved it but if they put Dani back with Bill I will stop watching. AS a black women, I don’t want to see. This in 2026. The man treated her like a piece of shit.no way should they put them back together.
It was one of their best weeks ever….. I was laughing and at times crying. There’s so much more script that can come from all that happened that week,,,,,I’m a Freelance writer and would love to help the writers out,,,,, that week is the week that can just keep Giving…….
