Yeah, it was a weird and abrupt transition. But from a few translations I've seen (and the phone calls Gina had with a Spanish boy at the start of her stay) I'd say that it's highly unlikely that she has a husband/daughter in Barcelona or that she's somehow been Lola's close friend for the last 4 years. Anyway, more important things to watch now.

I'm pretty sure those were two separate stories that Lola told back-to-back (she's wasted). She was talking about Gina being harassed on the beach and then she started talking about her married friend who she visited in Barcelona 4 years ago and how that friend met her husband on a dating app. I'm pretty sure that Lola and Gina didn't know each other before this RLC stint.

If you're talking about the orange bluetooth speaker, that has been in the apartment forever. It's not anyone's in particular.

I doubt they have any policy about it. I think apartments closing after on-camera cheating (and I can only think of one example of that happening but maybe I'm forgetting some) is the result of the couple breaking up, not RLC enforcing some sort of morality clause. Most relationships are pretty much over when they get to the point where one party is willing to cheat on the other in an apartment filled with cameras.

What was the last interesting thing to happen in B1? I guess Gina masturbating for a few minutes on her potato of a night vision cam. I certainly don't need to see constant nudity to be entertained (in fact, constant nudity can get boring pretty quickly) but it would be nice if something/anything actually happened in this apartment. I think it's just an unfortunate mix of residents at the moment. Polya and Gina just want to go out, Lola can't find any takers for her brand of party, and Violetta seems very, very reserved so far. Hopefully something changes for the better soon.

It's a bad place to put a pull knob though. You have to apply a lot more torque to open a door from the middle than you do from the end.

My memories of my 1L Crim Law class are a little fuzzy at this point, but I'm pretty sure the things I saw myself qualify as sexual assault in plenty of places. And I never said that whatever happened tonight was sexual assault, I didn't see it so I have no way of knowing. But thanks for the advice.

I don't plan on it. But the "you're all just a bunch of prudes" argument you were making is pretty weak when the complaint is that there's potential sexual assault happening. I'm all for a party house with lots of sex and drugs. I just want to know that the sex is consensual. I'm pretty sure that doesn't make me a prude.

If you go back a few pages you can find a bunch of people complaining about it.

Well, I didn't see it so I can't argue with you, but "girls are very emotional when drunk" isn't all that convincing of an argument. What I have seen in this apartment is a guy who got rejected by a girl wait until she was asleep/passed out and then grope her and rub her pussy. I've also seen multiple guys get into bed with a drunk girl and grope her until she finally protested enough to get them to stop. Maybe they all have some understanding that this sort of thing is ok, but without knowing that for sure I still don't feel great about watching any of it.

I'm all for the partying, the booze, the drugs and the sex. But there's a level of sexual aggression from the guys in this apartment that makes me uncomfortable whenever I watch it. When you combine that aggression with a bunch of drunk girls, I think you're asking for trouble. I didn't see what happened tonight, but it sounds like someone pressured a very drunk girl into sex and then she cried about it afterward? That doesn't sound at all ok, and it's definitely not the sort of thing that I want to pay to watch.

Her body-clock is completely fucked at this point. She can't seem to stay asleep for any extended period of time. I think that's probably a big part of why she seems so ragged/sick.

Rose and Belle both looked pretty faded to me. It's 10 in the morning, I wouldn't expect them to still be stumbling drunk.

Rose fell asleep pretty much instantly when she got in the bed.

I'm heartbroken.

She had a tampon in dude, but please share more of your brilliant insights with us...

The wall for that room is shared with the neighbor who has complained about noise before.

It's definitely the same girl.

I certainly enjoyed parts of that (and lol at 'baked', I assume you meant naked but baked may also have been accurate). But I probably don't put quite as high a value on naked dancing from Belle as you do, and there have been plenty of nothing days before that, and a few after. I'll be as bummed as anyone if Jasmin snuffs the fun out of Rose and Belle, but Rose seems like a firestarter to me and she and Jasmin are obviously close, so I'll cross my fingers and hope it goes the other way.

Not to worry, Jasmin will wrap her in plastic and have her doing wind sprints in no time. I'm happy to see both of the 'new' girls. Jasmin's a goddamn knockout so I think it's worth a second try. Hopefully she ditched her boyfriend and is ready to have actual fun with her friends. She seemed miserable last time and maybe the fact that she's chosen to come back and she's with Rose will make the difference this time. There's obvious potential downside but it's not like B2 has been out-of-this-world amazing anyway. Polya and Lola were always a good combination. As long as they stay in the apartment some I think we'll see some fun. 5 girls is still too much for B1 though. It makes staying out of the apartment more appealing and reduces the chances that anyone will bring someone home.

B1 didn't go anywhere last night, did they?

Right, but I was explaining why I often find the girls apartments more interesting than the couples apartments despite not being fixated on any particular girl in them and despite wishing the girls would have sex with guys more often. But I may have misunderstood your interest. If you mainly want to understand why people become attached to particular girls and are upset at the thought of them hooking up with guys, then I am not the person to answer that question.

I think you're describing a very specific subset of the people who enjoy the Barcelona apartments. I'm totally fine with guys in the apartment and don't feel any strong emotional attachment to the various residents. Not that I dislike them or anything, I just don't think I'm capable of forming a very strong opinion of a person based on the limited bits of them that I see on camera. What I like, or liked in the past anyway, about these apartments was that they were unpredictable. I like couples apartments on voyeur sites, but I find that they usually fall into very set rhythms and I get bored after a month or two. There have been a few exceptions to this. For example, I really enjoyed the Alina apartment on RLC. There was usually something interesting happening and their relationship was fiery enough (in a loving way) that it didn't feel totally predictable even after watching for a long time. The advantage of the Barcelona apartments is that they are constantly changing residents so there's always some new dynamic to watch. That comes with plenty of disadvantages of course. They're a lot more artificial than most of the couples apartments and you run the risk that you'll get a bad mixture of participants and nothing will happen for a month or two.

At least when Nicole was out there was a decent chance you'd see something great when she came back (but yes, her real problem was an inability to get along with other girls). The problem with all the current going out is that it never results in anything interesting coming back to the apartment. That's exacerbated by the fact that everyone is going out a lot. With other groups of girls, there have been individuals who were gone frequently (Polya, Nicole) but there were usually plenty of other girls in the apartments. Now it's not at all uncommon to have both apartments completely empty for hours on end (or the only occupants are sleeping off their previous night's fun). And no, the lame group 'parties' (conveniently scheduled for Monday nights, I've noticed) don't do anything to improve the situation. I don't know what the best solution is, but I hope RLC hasn't guaranteed anyone a 3 month stay. To my mind, if you're going to just use the apartment as a glorified crash pad then fine, but you should be gone at the end of your first month and you probably shouldn't be invited back.

That's true. But I also think that if this was a 'normal' beachfront flat in Barcelona with three party girls on vacation, a lot more of the party would end up being brought back to the apartment. From a viewers perspective, this apartment is delivering the bad part of normal (going out to party all the time) and also the bad part of RLC (avoiding sexual activity on cam, hidden or no masturbation). B1 seems like more standard RLC fare (with a little more going out and no big highlights since Irma left).
