Naomi’s time to glow!

Maryse and Eva, already in bathing suits for their photo shoot, are packing the car with equipment during a flashback to them talking about the photo shoot. Maryse is friends with the photographer so she’s getting “like half-off” the normal price. I don’t know the running total of a Baywatch-themed shoot, but half off anything seems like a pretty good deal.
I did notice the girls packed the car with enough stuff to fill an airplane hangar, so maybe the dude was knocking off labour costs. When the photographer and hair/makeup crew are on location, Maryse immediately throws a tantrum about being hungry because all she’s had to eat for 5 days is juice.
Even Eva is like “This is not fun, and stupid. I’m going to where other cameras probably are. Bye.” Eva Marie is the voice of reason, and hell got central air for a minute. After eating a burger like a toddler, Maryse is back to her regular self and the super necessary photo shoot is back on!
Dean Ambrose has the audacity to say Renee is “high maintenance,” and that she’s spending too much time with the Bellas. One of those things is true. Renee just wants to go out for a nice meal once in awhile, because dammit, she deserves it.
So she takes Dean to get an outfit that doesn’t make him look like he lives with Frank Reynolds and Charlie Kelly. At fancy dinner, Dean learns how to eat like an adult, and tries wine for the first time because they don’t have whiskey.
Dean is showing happiness. This isn’t fooling Renee, though, who is now coming to terms with the fact that he’s a complex fellow, one who is unlikely to take a wife.
Nikki is still giving Brie crap for being retired and spending time with her husband, trying to have a baby, instead of being retired and taking conference calls. They should really think about getting their own show.
My favourite part of the episode, by a landslide, is when Dean and Renee go to a dive bar. Renee explains that she took him to a fancy restaurant to inject some romance into the relationship.
Dean is having none of that, reiterating what his clothing already screams, saying you don’t need fancy stuff to be romantic. Renee counters with “But girls like romance like that, like when they share spaghetti in Lady and the Tramp!” at which point I sprang to my feet, pointed at Dean and said out loud “SAY IT.”
“That scene in took place in an alley.”
He said it. Dean Ambrose, hobo Valentino.
The show ends with Naomi finally getting to try out her new entrance. It goes pretty well, I think. If she puts in the effort, maybe this glow dance thing might make it to air, some day.
I love Naomi because she makes this show tolerable. Naomi is very self-aware, which is incredibly refreshing on this show. Like, she understands what her job is and what it entails and where she sits on the totem pole, and how to get closer to the top. And, Naomi’s real name is Trinity, which is 100% more pro wrestling sounding than her fake name.
That is soooo baller. That’s the equivalent of tying one arm behind your back before a bar fight. It'd be like wearing blue during your faction’s entrance when everyone else is wearing black. It’d be like a stripper named Giant Boobs choosing the stage name “Jenn Stern.” It makes no sense, seems counter-productive, and totally works.
Also, anyone seen Paige and Alicia?
Song that was in my head this whole time: Transistor Sister by Gaunt
