Bros & Shows - Earl and Shannon Rekindle Their Love (Love Hotel Full recap)

Episode Date: May 30, 2025

What's up Bros? We love the Love Hotel. After a hell of a cliffhanger last week, we get to read the letter. It turns out Shannon tracked down Earl's long lost stepson and provided him with the contact info. After an emotional scene, it looks like Earl may still be in the running afterall. Luann and James continue to further their relationship (to the point that James is referring to Lu as his girlfriend). Ashley is still torn between Ralph and Wale and even didn't give Wale her key this time. She claims its because shes afraid to fall in love with Wale because they may not want the same things. Gizelle is still somewhat checked out as far as the dating scene goes but can Phil or one of the newbies be enough for her to fall in love?!? This show rocks. Learn more about your ad choices.

I was really hoping that when they said they're bringing somebody back this week to the Love Hotel, that Craig would come back.

I really wanted it to be Craig. I did not want it to be Mark. I didn't need Mark back. I need more Craig. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Bros and Shows. I'm your co-host, Steele Russell, joined as always by the love doctor, Gooder. Damn it.

I had more, and I fumbled. Started off pretty good. I felt good introing it, and then I, yeah, it faded. That's okay. We both agreed last week that the Love Hotel song kind of catchy. Not anymore. Seems kind of fucked up, no. Yeah, I don't like it.

Yep. I don't like it anymore. It's cool around the first time. Don't do it anymore. Well, I think it's how they presented it again in this one. Yeah. And then Mark's shit on it, and I was like, you know what, Mark, you're kind of right. You're actually right, Mark.

Wow. Points for Mark. Who to thunk? Who to thunk? Who to thunk? But I also. Like Aladdin. he did yeah there you go yeah that was it there's a lot of i dream of genie was a good other one

there was a third one in there yeah what was the other one for luancey Jesus Christ Superstar Jesus Christ Superstar yeah that was so there's a lot of a lot of them you could throw in there he's just been there the whole time oh yeah he's been living down there yeah and they just gave him a wardrobe he's not pick it out not the surfer right dude I don't remember I don't think so him and the other one were interchangeable I think this was the guy who lived in New York okay yeah all right but yeah not that it really matters at the end of the day with you bring somebody back and it's like oh yeah all right the funniest part is he almost didn't make it through that would have been so funny if he didn't but i also didn't expect to be cliff hung nearly as hard

as i was cliff hung nor did i expect what was in this letter this was insane why the way we started this off and we thought about what it could have been last week if honestly i think it was it just seemed like a breakup letter that's what i thought I thought it was a let him down easy letter. Even remotely. They are actually not breaking up. They were actually stronger than ever. Because of this, they were kind of cute this episode.

My whole view on them shifted towards the end of this episode. I was fully anticipating seeing Earl in OC this year. Wouldn't that be great? That's the crossover. Earl fucking walks onto the screen. Like, if, could you imagine? All right, let me paint a picture. Shannon and Tamara are getting into it.

And Earl is a part of that. He won't know what to do. No, he won't. That would be fucking awesome. I think he'd be able to stand his ground. I don't think so. No. No, I think you get eaten alive.

I need that. I really need that. I'm really rooting for Earl now. Mark pops back up or fucking next crappy lake. Mark makes a cameo. That would be funny. Let's talk about the letter because she found his stepson. As we know, he had a relationship with his stepson with his ex-wife of a year and a half.

Something like that. And he was really bummed because, you know, he saved his. motorcycle for the kid, and then he hasn't had contact with him since the divorce. It's really sad. Now, Shannon got her attorney to find the stepson and his contact information. Shannon's attorney went the distance. We love it when attorneys go the distance around here. My only hang up, we don't really know a lot about the marriage or the divorce or the

relationship with the kid, and you've just doxxed him. yeah that's my hang up i look i at first my my first instinct was what the fuck is this this is insane yeah not what i thought at all but then i started going down the path of uh this is a bit of like a violation it's a sweet sentiment yeah it's a sweet sentiment but a bit of a violation it just feels like not even on earl a violation on this random kid yeah i don't know it worked by shannon and Bravo being complicit and her attorney. You doxed him. Yeah.

At least they didn't reach out to the kid. Like, what if, what if the kid showed up? Well, I wish Bravo called him and said, hey, man. Not that. I just wish someone contacted him and said, hey, is it cool if we give your info? Like, what if he hates the guy? We don't know. Yeah.

I mean, I don't know. Depends on, did the attorney do the due diligence of reaching out and seeing if the kid even wanted to be contacted? That's what I would like to know. It would make me feel more comfortable with the situation. expect this from this show at all i didn't expect anything that we're getting this whole thing the fact that everybody they all love each other this is one big happy group she's like our everyone's down at the bar waiting for you and they were and they were so excited and they were hugging them and earl cries and everyone's saying like i love you bro he's like i love you two both double hug like they're all

besties chat and her confessional's like this elimination date is going to be so hard later i'm like oh god we're going to send them home like yeah i actually thought that it would have been better and now obviously by the end of the episode it's completely different and they're basically back together but in the beginning i'm like okay this is actually a sweet like sendoff sure hey this isn't working that's what it was we're going to be friends yeah and then it turned into something else which is bizarre let it's shannon you know what are you going to expect from her i thought it was just a sweet send off like this isn't working out we can still be friends we can keep in contact by the way here you go go do that when you get home yeah we're going to send you home right now bye great

that would have worked up fine instead it's like we've still got a really hard decision to make later on the elimination night. I'm like, God, you're going to make him shit around all day and then send him home? I thought that he was still going to go home. I think he can't send him home after that. Then I, like, I don't know. It was a very emotional thing. But of course, Adam, he's in Shannon's here.

He's like, uh, what happened in there? And then he goes to confessional. He's like, there's no competition with Earl. Adam's the worst. Everybody else, and that's why it was such a nice scene where everybody was rooting for Earl and happy for him. Adam is only thinking about himself. He's just trying to figure out what this show's about.

This is about love, sir. We see that later with the new crop, too. Yeah. This is not what this shows about. You do that shit, you're out. As most of them were. As most of them were. But he's just sitting there awkwardly trying to figure out

just how close Earl and Shannon are now. But look, dude, you missed your chance because you're weird and awkward and can't take a hint. Flashback to the scene of you sitting there while she's like trying to get you to kiss her. He didn't want to stay for. Shannon, though. We all wanted to stay for Luann.

Yeah. And he wasn't going to get to Luann. And he had an opportunity to kiss Shannon. He didn't want to. He just wants to hang around. Yep. And you know what? Love Hotel's not for that.

Yeah, buddy. Go home, Matt. Get out of here, Adam. But you get JKB with the whole crew and you get a quick conversation between Luan and Adam. And she's like, hey, it's to be more aggressive, darling. Get in there. Make sure that she knows what you want to do.

Like, what you're about. And he's like, all right. And it's even funnier later. When Giselle's talking to him, tell Shannon you don't want to leave. Cut to Confessional. I don't know how to take their guidance. It can't be more cut and dry, Adam.

Pretty straightforward, dude. I've got two of them telling me completely different things. I don't know how to figure this out. What are they even telling me? There's advice in here. I think I'm just going to figure it out. You know, I think that I'm the number one guy. I think that she's going to keep me.

If she's comfortable with me, why would I have to encourage her about how I feel? He just didn't want to be with Sean. he's an idiot yeah he's just an idiot wasn't willing to go the extra mile to make sure that he could stay on the show by flirting with shannon i don't think that's what it was i don't think he wanted anything i don't i think he did i think he's just awkward and weird and doesn't know how to talk he's no craig how am i supposed to figure out what they're saying they said the same thing go tell her how you feel you fucking idiot but poor jason never really had a chance huh with anybody

no because he walks up the ass she's like hey can i steal you for a second she's like he's like yeah absolutely he walks away and goes and sits down and just waits and she gets sidetracked with walla and smooches you didn't even need to like have the formal go home no should have just left him sitting there yeah he'll get the hint and be like oh yeah jason he actually might not get the hint no he's still there right now waiting for actually to go talk to him we got a quick run in with luann and james and they still have their weird thing that's for some reason working you know she gives him or he gives her a note with like a glass heart that he stole from the trees like you stole my heart so I stole one for you and weirdly it works because it's Luan and she's like this is

great every time that something works with this guy I question it look it's working it's taken away from Luan it's working yeah it's working but let's get to the eliminations jay who's been a stand-up guy this entire time bows out look the love hotel not the friendship hotel everyone's like god you're such a nice guy I'm like right line it is but you got friends zone at the Love Hotel. Well, he could have ridden the wave. He definitely would have gotten the extra key just to, like, hang out. Yeah, he definitely could have.

And I think you even said last week, like, he's just kind of flying into the radar. He could just make it every time. I have a qualm. With Jay? With Jazeel. Ah. Bad casting. She's not buying into this.

She's the only one who's not trying. I said that to Dev this time. And, like, in the beginning, it was funny. It was funny. It's fun. Now it's just not. But the difference is, okay, and how it can. flip is if she does somehow end up with one of these guys then it's all like Bill because then it's the you know she's against this whole thing she's just here to have

fun and all the sudden she gets swept off her feet out of nowhere rom-coms i totally lifetime movies it's a love hotel why wouldn't i actually's playing like a rom-com actually is trying very hard to be a rom-com but yeah i have a problem with it i just she's never she hasn't bought into it the whole time she's done this like song and dance with am i guarded i'm not being guarded i just want to, you know, hang out with somebody who's not going to talk that much. You're incredibly guarded. You're incredibly guarded. You're not buying into this. You're not even trying to, like, act like you are.

Everybody else is like, I don't believe even this shit that happens with Ashley later with Waleigh. I still don't really believe Ashley. I think she's just very... I believe her, but I don't believe her. I believe the sentiment. Yes. I don't believe that it's Wale though. No. Like, I don't think that she's like I could be in love with you specifically.

I think she's playing into the whole thing. She's talking about like her whole idea of dating. I think she just also, also, in the moment does feel that way. But I think when she's removed from it and I can think, she's like, ah, it's a little much. It's incredibly well-balanced. Sure.

The cast is, I just wish that they had another housewife who would have bought into it. Well, my only qualm with this whole thing is like, I don't mind having the person. It's like, oh, it's just fun. But the mocking of the process, I don't love because we're here, right? Even like when she's giving out keys and stuff, it just doesn't seem. It's like, yeah, you can stick around. Yeah, you know what? Why not?

I've had fun with Phil. Yeah, you'll have some more good conversations. It's like, come on. Just buy in a little bit. Just buy in a little bit or act like you're buying it for our sake. I agree.

I think you deserve that. I love how invested Shannon is and everything.

I know. She's like she's the opposite of Giselle. She is like taking it to the nth degree, but... She's like, you will be single for the rest of your life if you don't leave with somebody here. That's kind of the vibe. You will be alone. Yeah. You need an earl. You need... Yeah, where's your earl? Everyone needs an

Earl, according to Shannon. And she is a really hard decision. And look, Adam's kind. We have a lot in common. But I'm connected with Earl and I just got to give him a key. because old earl's back old girl so back old earl is so back oh god

you've known him a week it's probably not even that long it's crazy it's the best i mean we've watched they have gone through ups and downs in a relationship they've broken up they've gotten back together they've gotten involved in each other's lives

it seems like Shannon's kids are going to be coming next week probably so that's going to be very interesting it's gotten so crazy that like I'm just accepting everything I'm in for it When he got selected, I thought that he was going to get his heartbroken.

I did, too, and I was sad. Yeah, she made the right choice at this point in this juncture. Luann's like, I would have picked Adam. It's like, not for nothing, Lou. Not the best track record. No. You know, so maybe go with an Earl. Maybe that's what she can take from this.

Maybe that's what she can take from this. James? Yeah. That guy's a strange cat. Jaze picks Phil, you know, like as a buddy. Luann picks James and Ashley, who is playing a game? We know what she's doing. Yep.

And she goes for, she goes for Ralph, but here's my qualm. I'm using that word a lot, I guess. Earlier in the episode she had talked to Waleigh, and kids came up. He said, like, within, you know, four years, he's not thinking about kids at all. No. Not even remotely. And she, her reaction made it seem like she wanted kids sooner. So he goes, but, you know, within, within four years, it could be 30 days.

He was trying to meet her where she was at. I've gone through this because I think that he's a little overreactive when it comes to certain things that she says But I'm starting to understand where he's coming from Because she is confusing his shit And it's not This isn't Ashley playing games like dating This is her trying to figure out how to play the game

That we're on And also she's confusing his shit So when he gets upset and he's like Stop nitpicking the things that I'm saying She's not intentionally nitpicking what he's saying She was later Later, she definitely was, but in this sense, like, I thought the same thing. When he says, you know, in the next four years, she's like, that's a, that's a huge window.

I'm like, no, it's not. No, it's pretty, at all. That's reasonable. Pretty straightforward. And then, but her reaction made it seem like she wanted it sooner. So then he goes, ah, 30 days. Ha ha. So now when you pick Ralph, you're going to say, well, he wants kids.

That's a problem. I'm like, whoa. No, that's not what went down at all. That's crazy. So luckily there's an extra key. and everybody else is like, well, Walei needs the key. I'm like, yeah, give it to fucking Wally. Shannon was really pushing for Waleigh.

Giselle didn't really care. Luam wanted another option. Yeah, Luan, you know, she just wants to pick somebody. Maybe give it to Adam. We'll see what happened. Yeah, it'll be fun. Who gives a shit? James thing isn't going to last.

I'm glad Walee got picked. He deserves to get picked. I don't know if it's doing anything for his confidence, his mentality. He's in shambles by the end of this thing. We might need to check him with Walee. I see how he is now. I need Walee in another show. Walee's great.

he's great for TV yeah he's he's really going through it but it's playing so well yeah he's doing a great job but we get waleh with ashley and she's now going with like this whole thing's scary for me and i don't know if i want these things but i could love you a lot and he's finally he's starting to figure it out though not i mean to a certain extent but he's still like in enthralled in the ashley verse he used him even more he's like well she's playing playing games and I like that he's like I'm going to bed he's like good night everybody I'm going to bed and we get Ashley like going through the whole thing she's like with Ralph it's just it's sexual it's like we know we know Ralph again decorum yeah you just told Wale you might be in love

with him Ralph said back to my room I'm like that's look you play the game how you want to play the game petition to Bravo and pretty much any reality show please cut the mics during kisses I know right I don't need to hear the wet mouth sounds and no I don't want to watch. I mean, I don't want to watch, so I can turn away. But I don't want to hear it. I don't need to hear wet mouth sounds ever. Rows. Yeah, growling. Too much growling. I'm okay without the gowling. Molly started growling this episode, too. Maybe you heard that Ralph growled and he, she liked it. I bet you he did, actually. He's probably in the bushes while they're making out. Ralph, you know, we should have sold our stock on Ralph a couple episodes. I know. Right before he got involved with Ashley, he was hot, he was cool, he was on the prowl. Now I'm just tired of him.

I know. It's tough. It happens quick. It happens really quick, but they start smooching you know they're up there smooching a little bit and you know ralph's get he's getting into it now he's starting to figure actually out he's like so much i want to say but i don't know if it's appropriate oh yeah like what like i want to make love with you constantly mm-hmm nothing sex here what a let down yep my my boner went away yep i was like ralph that's what you got it's embarrassing man like i want to make love to you constantly i was expecting some dirty shit he got me all hot and bothered maybe like you do the move of take your mic off take her mic off and then say something worried about that but it just didn't

censor yourself it didn't land i don't think that's my point i don't think he did censor himself i think he exposed himself as not being that guy uh-huh and then she goes with the i got my period today and i was like n uh-uh i don't think that's true no i think that's a cop out low and behold later It was. It was a cop out, for sure. Yeah, and she uses the excuse of, uh, he's not a very good kisser. That's what she tells Giselle. And, yeah, she leans, it looks like in, uh, future episodes, she can teach somebody

how to kiss, teach Amanda Fish. Oh, she will? She teaches Ralph the kiss? Apparently. That's what she said. Yeah, the for scenes for next week, yeah. Didn't see that. Yeah.

She's talking about teaching him how to kiss. But either way, I think it was that moment. I think it was when he said he wanted to make love to her constantly. That's his dirty talk. I'm out of here. Yeah, prude. Yeah, get out. Come on.

I'm Thai. Yeah. You even see a scene. That whole 60-year-old man thing is kind of fucked up. Yeah. This isn't that hot anymore. But, yeah, she fake, tired, fake the period, and, uh, I love how that scene actually went on, like, a little bit longer because they cut it right there.

But when we get the cut back, she was laying on the couch, yawning. Like, oh, God. Yeah, tough. That's tough. Tough look. Tough look for Ralph. Again, we should have stole our stock when we could. And we're just sitting here with all this.

Ralph, not hot. He's Ralph Penny stocks. Not hot anymore. Damn it. but then she's talking to Giselle about Waleigh and again the kids come out she's like I just don't know if I want that I was like he doesn't want that

this is the love hotel why are we talking about having kids I don't know but that's her whole thing is like I think she got too into it no she's trying to use it as like I don't want that he does I'm like he never wanted that he thought you did so he changed his story he would have said 10 years but he thought four four's a reasonable somewhere in the middle and you can

go down to 30 days as a joke if you need to that's what happened Don't let Shannon catch wind of this conversation. Oh, God, no. Kids are on the table? Yeah, oh, God. Married? Earl, do you want kids?

Oh, this spiral. But we get the new crop of dudes, and we got three keys to hand out. We brought Mark back. I didn't land how I wanted it to. He was like, someone's coming back. I couldn't imagine who it was before the cut. I mean, I thought it was Craig, just because Craig was funny. Craig would have been funny, but that was just something that we started.

Yeah. I don't think they're listening to. us. No, probably not. Mark coming back, like, ah. Lachluster, anti-climactic, and he's like. There was nobody that you could have brought back that I would have been like, oh, cool. No.

We didn't lose out on anybody. Not Mark either. And he's like, I came back for Luann. John Jansen, that would have been funny. Holy shit. No. Shannon would have just walked into the ocean. He's getting married.

Come on. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Totally. For God. Jesus Christ. That's not going to go south. But Shannon's talking to Theo, who's a dentist.

first conversation, first impression. So tell them about all your dead teeth that you need removed. That's great, great icebreaker. And Luan literally tells Mark to kiss her. And Mark goes, wow! Then she walks away. Oh, am I supposed to do that?

He fucking throws, like, what's going on? Between Mark and Adam, you can't be any more black and white. I don't understand what these guys are not understanding. Le Wynne's like, you kissed me, Mark. He's like, that'd be crazy. Serious? wouldn't that be wild and she's like all right tv show she's insane insane but jazelle seems to be a little intrigued by the new crop of dude she's talking to theo he was married for 20 years he's got two kids full

custody of those kids and he's used to gold diggers he's like look i'm a doctor a lot of people come after me for money i'm not looking for that i'm like all right all right well jazelle's not a gold digger so you might be able to find your person here josell seems somewhat interested but she did this with every new crop of dudes, I feel like. So I don't know if I buy it. Shannon, not in any of them. Nope. She's got nothing.

Eyes for one man and one man only. We watched those conversations, too. She asked the one guy, did you play any sports? Yeah, I played football, D1, you know, whatever. She's like, ugh. You asked him. Nothing in common. You asked him.

You asked him about your dead teeth. No, no. You just told him about your dead teeth, root-cels. Again, on you. Not on anybody else. technically have something in common. He's a dentist, and you need a lot of dental work, apparently. That's a commonality.

Oh, God. She's just too smitten by Earl. Yeah, apparently. But Scott and Ashley are talking, and she likes how Scott's unbothered, and then Calvin steps in to try to steal Ashley away, and then Scott follows along. Those guys are doing too much. I thought Scott was fine, honestly. Scott was no-issue.

Even, like, the move that Calvin made where he just pulled her away, like, you only get one opportunity. Why not go to her? I don't hate it. I'm just saying it didn't work. It didn't work. Which is odd, too, for Ashley, because I feel like that would be a good thing for Ashley, somebody stepping in and being like, hey, come on, let's go. I think it was.

Because she's like, I kind of like that he was doing too much, but it didn't. So I was confused by this whole setup. Okay. If you give someone a key, somebody else has to go home. Isn't that what JKB said in the beginning of this? No. And then they all gave them keys. No, no, no.

No. So the extra key that they had for Waleigh. Right. means they have one less key to give later. Okay. Yeah, so if they didn't use that key, they could have picked four of these gentlemen to come back. I know, I got it.

Okay. I thought this was like, if you pick one of these guys, somebody has to go home. If you give a mouse a cookie kind of thing, that's one of my favorite books going on. There's nothing to do with this, but. Simons,

with emotional complexity, offering a dramatized look as it revisits the wrongful conviction of Amanda Knox for the tragic murder of Meredith Kircher and the relentless media storm that followed. The twisted tale of Amanda Knox is now streaming only on Disney Plus. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything,

like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder any time. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. We're going through who's going to stay. And Mitch, who has, you know, he's an interesting guy.

Again, worldly, which seems to be the number one thing that these women are looking for. Worldly gentlemen, Mitch is interesting. He's all about energy. Luann's got a good energy. I'm a big energy guy. So Mitch gets to stay, Theo gets to stay, and Mark. Mark is a safe, safety, save? Mark's a save.

Shannon saves Mark, because the way it doesn't pick Mark. Correct, yeah. So Mark is back. Calvin's stunned. Calvin can't believe you didn't get picked, but see you later. Moment in the sun. Yeah, sorry, pal, see you later. I like how, like, they secretly did it, though.

They're like, hey, you want a key? Yeah, Shannon, like, found him on the beach. I was like, hey, we really want you. Everybody wants you here. She probably was like, hey, be really embarrassing for you to come back and knock your thing. So here's the last key. But I love when they pan to the other guys because JKB can't even be bothered to go all the way down there. He's got to yell at them from the roof.

And then he goes down and everybody else has kicked out. Was this the easiest hosting job ever? By far. He's only on camera for like two scenes and episode. Like he honestly, he popped his head out from that bar up there. He's like, hey, guys, if you didn't get a key, you got to go home. Yeah, smell you. The guys who didn't get a key didn't even know that there were keys around.

Like, what? What key? Ah, sucker. Going home, great. Loser. But then we get the love hotel song sung to Mark. Mark is, he's not, he's trying to use that against, it's like, that's all this guy's got, just love hotel song.

That's working weirdly. I thought that James played himself out because he's going around saying that Lou Ann's my girlfriend. It's like, that's a fucking strange movie. When we saw that in the trailer, the beginning, I think it was after the first episode, I figured this was going to be a big statement. ticking point for the way, and be like, no, I did too. We're not doing this.

Takes him back to the room. Completely fine with it. And boinks. Yep. New hat collection. And the Love Hotel song was ruined when he sang in front of Mark, but it's really ruined now because he sings it during Quetus. Yeah.

I don't love that. Yeah. That's kind of funny. It's kind of funny. But I don't like it. Well, he was singing about, like, yeah. You know what I don't need to hear, though? He doesn't want to get caught with his pants down.

Zip? Yeah, again, the sound effects. I don't leave it. Nope. We get, we understand what they're doing in there, you know? I get it. Yep. Don't need to hear it.

We saw the towel on the camera. We know what's up. It was such like an exact, yep. And the fucking caption says, zipper undone. Like, all right, guys, they're fucking, we get it. Let's finish up with Waleigh and Ashley. She's like, look, you got to stay. We wanted to make.

She's like, you didn't. Your friends like me. And that's why I'm here. I'm like, that's 100% correct. Correct. And she's like, well, I really hold back with you. And I'm concerned. I'm not in the same place.

you while he's just trying to figure out very gently i might add he's like well what's the worst case scenario she's like well we date for a year or two and then you want kids and i don't want kids he's like well the major issue is kids he's like well it's not a major issue i'm like okay whoa whoa yep nitpick it's because he said the word issue no major issue don't say the word issue that's a negative connotation kids aren't an issue he's like that's not what i'm saying yeah that is what you're saying it's like that's not what i'm saying this gets this is where i think that Ashley's in too deep. Well, she's playing a character.

She's manufacturing problems. Yeah. I think she's got herself completely in a pretzel. I do too. And she doesn't know what the hell's going on. He's manufacturing problems that aren't there. She's picking words to throw back at Wale. He's saying the major issue here between you and I seems to be a kid's timeline.

Don't say kids are an issue. I didn't say that. I love that a kid's timeline is a serious issue on this show. The Love Hotel. The Love Hotel. You've known each other for four days. We don't know that this show needs timelines so bad. Has it been a week?

It's been two weeks. We can't imagine they're there for longer than two weeks. I would think it's a two week maximum. But I don't know. We don't know for sure. They could have been here for six weeks. They could be, they could still be there. Yeah, they could still be there.

Like, I don't know. They're filming season two. Season two, and it's just Earl and Shannon. Oh, God. But all of that being said, I love this show. It's very entertaining. Now, have you got any questions? First up here from Jamie Gibbs.

Did you all notice Earl's shark tooth necklace? Do you think it's from Shep? Yeah, probably. God, I hope so. He bought it off of eBay because Taylor sold hers. Yeah, most likely. From Gray, that's the name. Nice.

Y'all think Ashley is just stringing guys along until she can get back to fake Jack Harlow? Yeah, it seems to be that way. It's, and I appreciate what she's doing. Look, and by the way, Josh seems to be a nice guy, and he keeps getting labeled, like, knockoff Jack Harlow, and I think that's mean. Yeah, I agree. From Lollie Geiger 926, do you think Shannon and Earl are still dating post show, boy do I hope so. Kind of, yeah, I kind of do.

I'm talking myself into it. I need, well, I didn't think about him being on OC. Now I need it. Yeah, exactly. I thought about that as soon as he got the key after the first one, and then they were all like lovey-dovey. Shannon didn't give a key to somebody else. They're cuddling, they're kissing. Still calling each other, honey.

Until you mentioned it, I'd never cross my mind. And now it's all I can think about. And last one here from Max June 3. Should Earl be voted out? No. Absolutely not. What do you hate true love? He continues to make Shannon happy.

We're good. If it gets weird again, then yeah, you can leave. Two strikes are out. But, you know, well, no. It's three. Well, I played professional baseball. But yeah, Max, what do you hate love? Yeah.

Come on, man. Cheerful love on the Love Hotel. That's what we do around here. Like, we're at the Love Hotel. Oh, my God. Can you imagine just being a fly on the wall for all this? No, we should host it. We'd have so much more fun hosting.

I would have so much fun hosting this show. That would be the best. That would be amazing. We probably wouldn't come. We'd just live down at that hotel. I would find myself watching the footage each night, probably. Well, the funniest. Sitting in the trailer, just watching it all so that we know what's going on.

The funniest is with all the downtime that the host seems to have. Yeah. Wrangling you in for the nighttime thing would be a fucking chore. What is he doing? He went paddleboarding? He's sunburnt. He's hammered and we can't find him. And you would stumble in like mid-conversation, be like, hello, who wants a key?

Start throwing keys of people. This place has a casino? Yeah. Have you guys seen the fucking casino? Oh, man. Hey, Bravo. If you're hiring, we're interested. We're in.

We're down. You don't need to pay us that much. You don't even need to pay us that much. It's just free stay. Yeah, free stay. We're in. Yep. What's the worst that could happen?

Come on. Come on. But you got anything else? Nope. That's our show. Bro's got to go. Hey, Michael. Hey, Tom.

You want to tell him? Or you want me to tell him? No, no, no. I got this. People out there. People lean in. Get close. Get close.
