6- Tarik. He's an idiot. He got called out hard which was incredibly satisfying. He apologized and re-proposed. I don't have much hope for their relationship but I'm rooting for them.
5- Zied. Kinda feel bad for him that Rebecca is not understanding of his religion, like at all. But for fucks sake get off the Xbox, either help to plan the wedding or figure out where you are going to live during Ramadan. Just do something. Anything. Learn English, that also would help since your conversations are very minimal and vague. It's hard, I know, but just try.
4- Jovi. STAHP DRINKINK!!! I am worried for Yara that she'll wind up with an alcoholic husband. I get it, it was a bachelor party, but she's pregnant, fell on her back and you all were flying to get married. There's always going to be an excuse with Jovi until he hits rock bottom and loses everything.
3- Harris. What a fucking psycho serial killer. But Stephanie actually bothers me more here. She thinks he's the "one" when she's slept with him twice, each time after dramatically dumping his cousin. Stephanie is white trash, plain and simple. She's also a delusional idiot. I hope she stops seeing that psychic and gets a psychiatrist.
2- Mike. We all knew you were going to dump her the last day of her visa because you are a selfish jackass who strung along a woman you never had any intention of marrying. For 3 months this chick slowly became a shell of herself in your cold, tin house in the woods, an hour's walk from the nearest gas station. You constantly out her down and smirked knowingly as you intimated to the audience that she was wacko, but honestly you came out covered in mud in this one buddy. The day before the wedding, during a pandemic, 3 days before her visa expires, her country's borders are closed --- at least when Amira got detained she wasn't also completely heartbroken.
1- Andrew. The single most satisfying moment of this show was when Amira didn't get on the plane. Literally every single manipulation technique deployed by sociopaths onto their victims, Andrew used them. He kept deliberately trying to mold reality in a way that would preserve his ego and gain brownie both directly to Amira to make her feel unable to perceive reality without his help, but then also to his mom to get her preemptively hating Amira. A narc is nothing without his flying monkeys. And you know what? His hygiene is incredibly lacking, he's obese, and he look like he could use some moisturizer.
Andrew if you're

This has not been a good week for men. First we had Jeffrey Toobin getting caught engaging in some... er, extracurricular activities, shall we say... on a Zoom call. Then we had Rudy Giuliani getting caught reaching into his pants while getting pranked in the new Borat movie.
WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL THAT? In Toobin's case, I say, "Dude, there's a time and a place. Was it really so urgent that you couldn't wait until you were a little less busy?" And in Giuliani's case... I realize the woman was an actress deliberately sent in to create that situation, but wouldn't that have made him suspicious instead? I sure would have been.
Maybe sexual attraction isn't such a great thing to have after all...
Market Notes:
Memorial Day and the July 4th holiday weekends proved to be a critical weekend where American's stopped social distancing and spread COVID-19 like wildfire.
We're heading into the Labor Day long holiday weekend which will likely be another pivotal moment in the spread of the virus and recovering the US economy.
Yesterday's selloff was a signal the market is not confident American's will do the right thing this weekend.
Watching job numbers this morning, futures are higher but markets could fall again quickly. I'll be using tight stops and locking in profits quickly today.

Red Dwarf, on the other hand, is transcendently hilarious.
Falling into a Wikipedia hole today, I was given reason to watch the opening credits to ALF (remember, ALF?!). Anyway, something seemed very familiar and then I realised: the Men Behaving Badly titles are a piss-take of this! From Tony filming himself in the mirror, to Gary looking pissed off from work, to Dorothy telling him to get stuffed, to Deborah being seen when a door opens and trying not to be too annoyed, ending with the camera being set up in the garden for the final shot.
Did anyone else not know this?
When master Muzhou heard Yunmen coming he closed the door to his room. Yunmen knocked on the door.
Muzhou said, "Who is it?"
Yunmen said, "Itβs me."
Muzhou said, "What do you want?"
Yunmen said, "Iβm not clear about my life. Iβd like the master to give me some instruction."
Muzhou then opened the door and, taking a look at Yunmen, closed it again.
Yunmen knocked on the door in this manner three days in a row. On the third day when Muzhou opened the door, Yunmen stuck his foot in the doorway.
Muzhou grabbed Yunmen and yelled, "Speak! Speak!"
When Yunmen began to speak, Muzhou gave him a shove and said, "Too late!"
Muzhou then slammed the door, catching and breaking Yunmenβs foot. At that moment, Yunmen experienced enlightenment.
Yunmen Wenyan [Zen master, 864-949]

The Gateless Gate: Gutei Raises a Finger [3rd Case]
Whenever Gutei OshΓ΅ was asked about Zen, he simply raised his finger.
Once a visitor asked Gutei's boy attendant, "What does your master teach?" The boy too raised his finger.
Hearing of this, Gutei cut off the boy's finger with a knife. The boy, screaming with pain, began to run away.
Gutei called to him, and when he turned around, Gutei raised his finger.
The boy suddenly became enlightened.
When Gutei was about to pass away, he said to his assembled monks, "I obtained one-finger Zen from TenryΓ» and used it all my life but still did not exhaust it."
When he had finished saying this, he entered into eternal Nirvana.

Huangbo once attended an assembly at the Bureau of the Imperial Salt Commissioners at which the Emperor Tβai Chung was also present as a Εramanera (or taker of the ten precepts of Buddhism).
The Εramanera noticed Huangbo enter the hall of worship and make a triple prostration to the Buddha, whereupon he asked: "If we are to seek nothing from the Buddha, Dharma or Sangha, what does Your Reverence seek by such prostrations?"
"Though I seek not from the Buddha," replied Huangbo, "or from the Dharma, or from the Sangha, it is my custom to show respect in this way."
"But what purpose does it serve?" insisted the Εramanera, whereupon he suddenly received a slap.
"Oh," he exclaimed. "How uncouth you are!"
"What is this?" cried Huangbo. "Im

First of all, I am terrible with timeframes so it might not be entirely accurate.
I remember one episode about a girl who kept picking her nose. I don't actually remember her punishment entirely but it was either her finger got stuck in her nose, or she just could not stop picking it and kept picking out bigger and bigger boogers. There might have been someone with some type of blaster gun to shoot her to give her the punishment (but I could be remembering wrong).
The format was similar to Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids but this animation was a lot more new, bright and colorful.
I'm sorry for the muddy details but it is all I remember.
