This probably me being ridiculously feelzes, but something about the whole Rafe/Hannah thing and Amber is really off. Not normal level AL fucked-up off, but darker.
Firstly, she's done EXACTLY what she did before - blundered in and taken over. I'm sure she'd say "they asked me" if you cornered her on why she was there for their anniversary, but did it occur to her to say "no." Of course it bloody didn't. Everyone knows invitations are nuanced; sometimes they are polite with the expectation of decline, sometimes they are "offered" because the person offering feels they have no choice and is hoping like hell for a decline...there's loads of interpretation involved. Not to Fat Al tho, all that matters is what SHE wants. Despite the fact the aggro last time was essentially triggered by her imposing on then completely obliterating a settled group of friends - with her usual mindset that it's incumbent on everyone to love her and everything about her and god help them if they don't - she's done the exact same thing. Classy, Amber.

@Rotogravure I'm still giving Rafe the benefit of the doubt because she's in a shitty situation. Hannah has depression, they are isolated, Becky is, for some unfathomable reason, important to them - all that is down to Rafe to juggle and get right so kissing Big Fat Al's crusty arse is really her only safe choice. She doesn't want to hurt Hannah so what the hell is she supposed to do? She knows damn well Amber is manipulative and toxic, she knows that Hannah felt left out and insecure last time round but if she doesn't emit a warm glow of benevolence at the Hambeast continuously, she knows what the end result will be. All her choices are lousy - give Amber the endless attention and positive reinforcement she needs which will upset Hannah, or don't....which will upset Hannah when AL manipulates the next drama and Becky flounces off again.
And what ABOUT Becky in all this? We're blasting Rafe (maybe rightly. Perhaps she is just an attention whore who sees $$$ glowing around Amber and you're all bang on. I'm not saying anyone is wrong for thinking that) and Al is being her usual wank self, but why didn't the Chinless Wonder support her friends instead of cutting them off because of Al's poor widdle feelzes? That's not how it works; the person who introduces a noob to an established group is the one who has to smooth the waters. Great friend, Becky. Top loyalty.
Rafe sounded really low and she said Hannah was. They don't need a manipulative, grasping tub of lard with god knows how many agendas stirring the pot and just loving the power. She sits there smugly in her aura of pi whilst letting Rafe grovel and its just painful to watch. She ignores enough questions but lasered in on anything that meant Rafe had to prostrate herself a bit more. I hope Rafe IS using her because, right now, she's like a massive dirty bomb bang in the middle of their life. The best scenario is that they are all as bad as each other, but right now AL has all the cards and is being anything but gracious in victory.
Bleh. Feelz. I know, soz. But something about recent events makes me all fzzzzzzt. AL, you rancid lump of lard, you've inveigled your way into Big Brother Asylum House; go home and blow that up. Leave Rafe and Hannah alone you selfish grotesque. Or are you not going "home" until your slaves have lugged all your gnarly cheap tat and arranged it to your liking? Oh....and you did tell them about the stress incontinence which is inevitable at 500lbs, didn't you? THAT is what happened to the "old" (two years!) couch. Gonna be difficult to blame it on the pets now...
Meh. Feelzes over. Back to bitchin
