Highs

Jon's Protectiveness Over Trinity's Wrestling Gear

When it was suggested in Mexico (by Nattie I believe) that the girls do sexy photoshoots on the beach to show off their bodies to their men, Trinity was against it due to the fact that Jon had a problem with her racy wrestling gear previously. Cautious, she decided to sit out of the photoshoot because she didn't want to upset Jon. I think it's kinda sweet how Jon doesn't want Trinity to reveal too much of herself to everyone as he wants to be the only one to see it. Old fashioned, but I like it.

Divas Fun at The Beach

The chemistry between the girls (minus Eva Marie who wasn't there) is clear to see as this episode was spent with them having fun in Mexico. It looked like genuine fun when the girls were laughing and joking around and throwing each other into the pool, before running around on the beach, grappling and pushing each other without a care in the world. What a life to live.

Nikki's/Bryan's Node to Brie That Life is Too Short

Brie has a difficult relationship with her Father which causes her to have little to no contact with him. However, both Nikki and Daniel Bryan expressed to Brie one way or another how life is too short. As Bryan said, there may come a day when he is no longer here. It is a little reminder to appreciate loved ones before it is too late.

Girls Spent All Episode Together

Minus Eva Marie, the rest of the Divas cast spent this episode in Mexico relaxing and having fun together as they took a break from their hectic work schedule. It was nice to see all the girls together where their chemistry shone as in previous episodes the Divas have been seen doing their own thing. More than that, all the girls seem to get on really well with one another which can be a rare feat for a group of (especially attractive) women.

Paige's Convo with TJ

Fed up of Nattie's constant talk of husband TJ and tag team partner Cesaro's bromance, Paige decided to wind Nattie up by suggesting that TJ was gay. The funniest part of this came from Paige's talk with TJ when Nattie called him up to tell him of what Paige had said. Paige asked TJ about his relationship with Cesaro and his response didn't exactly help matters. He started commenting about how strong Cesaro was and how much he can bench press (or something like that), cracking Paige and the girls up. Funny.


Lows

Alicia Fox Posts Video of Trinity Twerking On Instagram

The girls spent an evening at a bar drinking cocktails and twerking (my kind of night, minus the twerking). Trinity was unaware that Alicia Fox had filmed her twerking and posted it up on her instagram page. Trinity wasn't happy with this as she was afraid that Jon would see and disapprove and she didn't want to let him down. She told Alicia Fox that if she knew she had been filmed then she wouldn't have done it. It is a reminder of how easily something can end up on social media to be imprinted on the internet forever (or for as long as it stays online).

Divas Find Out Dusty Rhodes Passed Away

It was sad watching the Diva's reaction after they found out about WWE Legend Dusty Rhodes passing away. Nattie broke down into tears and Paige teared up as she talked about what Dusty meant to her. R.I.P to the legend that is Dusty Rhodes.

Notable Quotes

"Someday he might not be here," - Daniel Bryan

Highs

Trinity Suggests Jon Does Stand Up Comedy

The majority of the highs from this episode stem from Jon/Jimmy Uso and his stand up comedy as this took centre fold. It all started when Trinity suggested that Jon pursued stand up comedy as another career prospect. Yes! Jon has made me laugh in practically every appearance he has made in Total Divas. He's funny, goofy and lighthearted, making him a great character for the show.

Jon Tests His Material In Front Of Trinity and Her Father

Trinity and her Father wanted Jon to test out his material to see whether or not Jon could make them laugh. Trinity got into her underwear to put Jon at ease (because of that thing about picturing the audience in their underwear if they're feeling nervous). Jon decided to make all of his material about his wife, such as her going to the jacuzzi with a shower cap on and having stinky breath in the morning. It was funnier than put on paper and I cracked up as I usually do with Jon. Trinity's Father also thought the whole thing was funny, bursting out into laughter but Trinity wasn't too pleased about being mocked understandably. To add salt to the wounds, Trinity's Father continued to mock his daughter, jokingly walking out of the room with a shower cap on. Funny.

Jon Takes the Mick Out Of Dolph Ziggler

I enjoyed the presence of Dolph Ziggler this episode, who seems to have just as much of a goofy and funny personality as Jon. It was also interesting to hear that he does stand up comedy on the side, giving Jon a gig at the 'Laugh Factory'. After Trinity expressed her dislike of Jon's material being about her, Jon attempted new material which consisted of really bad knock knock jokes. However, all ended well on the night of the Laugh Factory as Jon took to making fun of Dolph Ziggler and his beach boy looks instead.

Paige's Boyfriend Proposes With Tattoo On Arm

After snooping through boyfriend Kevin's belongings, Paige and WWE Diva Emma discovered a wedding ring in Kevin's jacket, so a lot of this episode was spent with Paige trying to avoid getting Kevin to propose. She knew it was coming, but Kevin proposed in the sweetest way. As he was going to get a new tattoo, he had a tattoo tested on his arm which read 'will you marry me' in fancy writing before he got down on one knee with the ring in his hand. Paige obviously couldn't say no to him after that! Props to Kevin.

Lows

Paige and Emma Snoops Around Kevin's Stuff

First this girl uses a decoy to test if her boyfriend would stray and now this. To be fair, it was Emma that thought to look through his stuff. This was after Paige had mentioned her and Kevin's trip to the jewellery store and the suspicious questions he asked her while they were there. 

WWE Doesn't Clear Daniel Bryan To Wrestle

I feel bad for Daniel Bryan, who seems to be having problems with his health and with the injuries he has suffered. Although he was cleared by his doctors, he wasn't quite cleared by the WWE as they were afraid about him getting back into the ring after his neck injury. Daniel Bryan's wife Brie shared the same concern, fearing she would be taking care of him in his fifties if he continued to wrestle and put his health on the line.

Notable Quotes

"It's not about our next 2 years, it's about our next 20," - Brie Bella

"You're health is more important than money," - Brie Bella

Highs

Jon/Jimmy Uso's Presence

As perhaps my favourite recurring star on this show, I was more than happy for him to be given quite a bit of screen time. This was due to a trip Trinity planned for Trinity and Jon's family, where she planned to use an RV to travel to location. I have made it more than clear of my love for Jon/Jimmy Uso, who has a lighthearted, goofy and fun persona. In one of his first appearances this episode he displayed this side of him, joking that everyone was too big to stay in an RV together amongst other things.

Trinity Plans Trip for Family in RV

It was a nice gesture on Trinity's behalf to suggest a mini vacation for the family, where we were given a genuine insight into what it would be like hanging out with the Trinity/Jon crew. Apart from a few mishaps, the trip looked like a bunch of fun overall and I have to admit that I would have loved to be a part of it.

Brie Bella, Nikki Bella and Renee Young Go on Mini Vacation

Again, we were given an insight into another mini vacation. This time it was on the half of the Bella Twins and WWE Commentator Renee Young, to help Nikki Bella take her mind off of all the stress and anxiety she had been going through as of late. I am just a tad envious of the place and location these girls got to spend time in. Beautiful.

Lows

Nikki Bella is Affected by Stress and Anxiety 

It was interesting to witness the anxiety and stress that Nikki had been going through due to the extra responsibility placed upon her as Diva's Champion. It goes to show that even the ones who seem to have it all feel the same emotions as us little people.

Jonathan Coyle

I like Jonathan and he seems like a great support for Eva Marie who has been given a lot of work opportunities as of late. It would be nice to learn of what Jonathan does though, since we are given a little background of what the other Diva's partners do for work (we even know of what Paige's partner does who is not a wrestler).

No Paige/Alicia Fox/Rosa Mendes

I have become quite accustomed to this threesome who bring a lot of fun and craziness to the show and their absence missed felt this episode.

Notable Quotes

"You have to put a smile on your face and leave all of this in the car because that is our job," - Brie Bella

"My time is now and Jonathan needs to just buckle up and enjoy the ride with me," - Eva Marie

"Go big or go home," - Eva Marie

Highs

Brie Wears Sensible Shoes at Construction Site

As a lover of flat shoes and comfort over fashion, I like how Brie is not afraid to dress down in contrast to her sister who always likes to look her best. Nothing wrong with that of course, but Nikki was wearing louboutins while walking through a construction site while Brie being sensible opted for flat shoes. My girl.

Trinity Over Treats Jon/Jimmy's Children

It's never a good thing to over spoil children, but Trinity wanted to treat Jon's kids who were coming over to stay with them. That meant getting a bouncy castle (or a bounce house, as they call it), hiring a small alligator/lizard thing and pony and taking them go karting. It was a very sweet and grand gesture on Trinity's behalf.

Eva Marie Blows Off Alicia Fox's comments

Alicia Fox had something to say about videos Eva Marie posted of her training. Let's just say she wasn't impressed by Eva suddenly showing an interest in wrestling and improving. The comments Alicia made got back to Eva via Ariane and she did the only thing she could do. Shrug them off.

Lows

Brie and Nikki's Differences

It's always nice when the two sisters get along, but this week their differences came to light about the business they wanted to set up together (barre fitness?). Nikki inadvertently got their Mother and brother involved even though Brie wanted the business to be between just them two. Nikki was upset at Brie for being cold towards their brother for wanting to get involved. Not only that, but a little spat ensued between the two sisters after Nikki expressed her ideas for their business to Brie. They made up in the end of course so it was all well and good.

Notable Quotes

"It's nobodies birthday," - Jimmy Uso's son when Trinity surprises Jimmy's kids with a bouncy castle.

"It's not personal. No, this is business," - Brie Bella

Highs

Nikki and Daniel Bryan

I like the dynamic between these two. Nikki Bella is quite a materialistic character and Daniel Bryan likes to tease her about this, as well as about not being too smart. At times, I think he perhaps took things too far (like when he said that he thought Nikki was going to a corner when commenting on her outfit), but it seems to be all in good fun as part of Daniel Bryan's personality.

Road Trip

A great little insight into the car journey's between the Diva's and Superstars they have to make when they're on the road and it looked like a lot of fun. I particularly enjoyed Trinity and Jon's convo Trinity told Jon she loved him to the moon and back and Jon told her he loved to the stop sign. Ensue a debate about Jon's love being temporary. Jon's response? "You know you ain't gonna make it to the moon, but I can make it to that stop sign." Jon cracks me up!

Jon/Jimmy Uso

As I've already said, Jon cracks me up. I was literally laughing out loud when Jon started recording the argument between Paige and Foxy with a big grin on his face, taking the whole thing as a joke. He's a very lighthearted character who doesn't take things too seriously and I like that.


Lows

Brie Bella doesn't stick up for Nikki

Considering the little digs Daniel kept making to Nikki Bella upset her, I was surprised that Brie didn't stick up for her sister and instead just went along with it. During their car journey, Brie told Nikki that she should just put up with it because it was his personality. She seemed to never take her sister's side during the whole thing. I think she came across as a little insensitive and cold to Nikki's feelings at this point.

Nattie Can't Say No

First, Nattie agreed to take on 19 cats from her local shelter and then she let Titus and co take a road trip with her and TJ. Both decisions left her husband unsatisfied because she seemed to do these things without consulting TJ first. I feel sorry for TJ in these situations who lives for a peaceful life.

Alicia Fox's Jealousy

Alicia made the bad move of showing up Paige and her new boyfriend. She did this by talking about Paige's ex and the reason they split in front of housewarming guests. This was all because Paige decided to move in with her boyfriend instead of Alicia and she was not too happy about this. However, we learnt towards the end of this episode that Alicia was just jealous of Paige's happiness because she was still in love with her ex boyfriend Wade Barrett.

Notable Quotes From This Episode

"I thought she was going to a corner," - Daniel Bryan

"If he wants to be my husband, this is the stuff he will have to put up with," - Natalya

"You know I love you, but that's a lot of cats," - Nattie's Mother

"You know you ain't gonna make it to the moon, but I can make it to that stop sign," - Jon (Jimmy Uso)
