I’m sorry, the only thing I got out of this episode is how beautifully Drew’s legs are drawn. Michelangelo could not have done better. Greg reminds us how talented he is by keeping realistic proportions even as those biceps are pushing the limit.
This storyline however, has been drawn out. In a rare twist, I agree with Richard - let him enjoy his virtual relationship. Maybe it’s a cause for concern or pity, though he’s less likely to be hurt physically or emotionally. If men aren’t “drawn” to Richard as he is, and he refuses to makeover more than his hair color, this is where he is. The housemates can either fix Richard up, or leave him be, like we all want to leave this storyline.
.....and I'll ride Frankie's statement.....although I must admit, I was sideswiped by Drew wearing BOXERS more than noticing his Leg definition! ...ha-HAAA!
...BUT, yes....ENOUGH with this Story! ....EIGHT MONTHS, of "Fletch", NO update on Levi, NO mention of Mannis, Jason or Price, ONE Episode with Coach Dennis, NO other storylines, fleeting moments of half naked Guys......well, THAT'S fine...... ; )
....this WOULD'VE been a current topic of discussion (A.I. generated Gay relationships), but it became SO drawn out (ironically enough) that the balance is thrown off from the lack of other plotlines.......
.....I'll ride it out, but it seems "Fletch" is gonna be Our "Man Of The Year", in some ways.......proving Richard RIGHT.........................Chow........
While the topic of AI/ virtual “relationships “ is worthy of exploring, this has become overwrought. Even while I’m not a fan of Richard, he deserves better stories for his character. Maybe he’s caught getting busy in Everhard Woods by Darren, causing embarrassment and dilemma for both. Or maybe Richard could start a long distance relationship- not with Kristian, how about someone in Brooklyn or Queens? Northport is near a city with more gay people than the population of Vermont- maybe there’s a match for him there. Richard could just become a slut (as Price should also do) or go to sex parties or the Meat Rack at Fire Island. In any case, let’s see him doing something for his own life rather than meddle and gossip about everyone else. Richard should also drop the attitude and indignation - if one of the single guys at the B&B were engaging with a chatbot, Richard’s character would be all over it and telling everyone.
....I AGREE, Frankie, that Richard should embrace his 'slutty side', but with a bit more tact that could add to a plausible....yet, SEXY storyline......
...Ive always felt that Greg keeps Rich as an 'asexual Mascot' character, who gossips & give makeovers....when he's more believable (secretly) suckin' off EVERYONE at the B&B! ...some story arcs for Rich.....
1. ...Rich gets involved with the Photog Max Edgeington; believable, as 2 shady Queens working....and SCREWING...each other....
2. ....Rich and PRICE (feeling lonely) have a drunken romp, making Rich the TOP(!), and exploring whether they can make it as a Couple....or, scheme each other, to their DEATHS...
3. ..Rich DOES get involved with a Brooklyn / Queens Guy, and contemplates whether to move there, because that's where the 'action' is........
4. ...Drew contacts KRISTIAN, who calls, & gives Rich a stern talking-to, about "A.I. Love"....and, HIS love, for Richard.....which, is still in the cards......
.....AND you're right about Price re-engaging with his 'Inner Slut'; the strip picked up WILDLY, with the Jason / Price screwing, and THAT'S what needed here......not 8 Months of, "...who is Richard seeing?.."
When did Richard get so weak? He was always clever, resilient, flamboyant and realistic. Now's he's giving gay incel. Would that be gincel? Or maybe queen-cel?
I agree that this story line is starting to enter -"nodding off" territory. Drew is clearly staging a "mini-intervention" because he is worried about Richard. I think the story could have developed some depth if Drew had responded to Richard, "No, I WASN'T always the handsomest Dude around. You've never seen my 7th grade pictures! Yowza!" OR some such comment.
The issue is that everyone is responding in a stereotypical way, as if they are all in stable, well adjusted relationships instead of saying, "Hey, yeah! I've got an "AI" 'boyfriend' for those nights when I'm horny and alone!"
Richard can't be the only one at the B&B who uses unconventional means to get comfort! Is cruising at the rest stop any better or worse than a fake boyfriend?
Re: the artwork - yes, Drew is sex on a stick! I just wish some of the guys were drawn as having disproportionate, bodaciously big chests, arms and lats! As in EXTREME proportions! Just for funsies! To balance out those legs running around!

Richard's story is sad enough.
But if today's kids are so socially unskilled that they avoid others, and seek connections with chatbots, society is headed for the cliff.
