I don't think he had a choice, Olena wouldn't have played the game IMO

I agree, both had made up their mind, both knew it was the end.
I don't see Olena as a princess particularly, just that she knew their situation and didn't pretend otherwise.
Richie's statement about wanting someone who works through difficulties together, echoing her sentiments showed there just wasn't enough love there in the end.

please fill me in.....are we sure the boat date will be Alex's LCD? did they show the shot again?

Lying there in the dark and had a thought!

In Bach NZ Matilda wore navy and Dani wore light pink!

A red dress would clash really badly with a blue suit, not a good sign for Nikki either...

if Olena edit is that horrible in this episode..i can see they are gunning Alex to be the next Ette

PS : i don't think she is that rude. Its just bc of her culture maybe..where being super frankly is common...reminds me of Maksim/Val Chmerkovsky

Richie saying that it wasn't a hard decision at all to let her go is very telling as was the s/caps of that smile. He knew he dodged a massive bullet and rightly so, imo.

It really was just intrigue and not much else going on there as Richie said in the beginning of the episode that is what he wanted to find out for himself and boy oh boy he sure did.

He was totally correct to say that he wants someone who will be a team and compromise together and THAT is realistic to me. That's longterm and realistic expectations for a relationship, imo.

Isn't the flower in his coat pocket red?

I'm glad that Richie saw through it all and I am fully convinced that Olena's "staged" photos of her with guys were "staged" by her.

Osher can spin it how he wants (he said amazing things about Blake and Michael) so unless he tweets that Aubrey is in tears about one of the girls then it's just his paycheck speaking, imo.

Also, no chance that Olena will be Bette either, imo. Not a chance. Not with that episode and those pics of hers with the other guys and her comments in the media.

I don't see Olena to be rude or a princess in away - she's just being real IMO. However, when all there is to contrast her with is two girls falling head over heels in love, of course she'll come across a bit cold. And that whole thing about her being 'traditional' for me was BS. You don't have to be ethnic or traditional or culture-orientated to love and respect the decision of your parents, and if thats the way Olena is, then that's how she is! She didn't fall in love, Richie wasn't for her and thats that. Kudos to her for staying to true to herself.
