Episode 5

I’m pretty sure you guys knew this one was going to be a beast to recap. I’ve mentioned before that when watching, I make notes of where my .GIFs will be. I usually have 15-20 in my notes and end up whittling it down to around a dozen or so. (15+ for a finale.) To give you perspective on how much I wanted to unpack, I had 41 .GIFs in my notes for this episode (my record, without contest) and ended up with 16.

I loved this episode. I’m gathering the general consensus is people either loved it or felt ‘meh’ about it. But I have a good feeling you guys were in my boat; it really shone a light on a lot of things I analyze here. I’m REALLY looking forward to your thoughts this week!

“I’m not going to say everybody loved me, but I’ve never, like, had people speak poorly of me. So openly.”
—Hannah, succinctly describing one of the most characteristic elements of the contestant experience.
This sentence is deceptively simple. This sentence is why I write these recaps!

LAST WEEK, CONT’D

Episode 5 begins with Episode 4’s cliffhanger, where Hannah sits both Lukes down and instructs them to talk things out with each other. Things get nowhere fast, causing Hannah to leave the room, and Luke P to promptly say…

Luke P has an interesting social crutch where he, in order to appeal to the person with whom he’s speaking at that moment, methodically curries favor with them by agreeing with them. Whether or not he agrees with them. (I mean, I don’t THINK he agrees with them—it’s hard to know what he’s thinking because his thoughts and feelings are constantly morphing.) He does this EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (He did it when he told Garrett and the other guys that he would go tell Hannah the truth.) I find this fascinating to watch because it’s all about making himself as likable as possible, when it’s honesty and authenticity that would make him likable. In other words, he’s not disliked for not trying to be liked. He’s disliked for trying to be liked all wrong.

As the guys all talk about not being able to stand Luke P, I laughed out loud when Mike said, with a stern face…

I’m not saying cursing people out never works, but I don’t think it’s unique to Luke P that being on the receiving end of a curse-out isn’t conducive to being “gotten through to.”
