I don’t feel sorry for her. If Maggie is going to be this stupid about Kon, I hope he takes every penny she has.

I'm doing my first watch of the show after putting it off. I got through season one and am halfway through season 2. It's picked up a bit but... ...its not very good. The characters aren't vibrant and loveable or compelling. I applaud that ASP is doing something different from Gilmore Girls, but the gap between these shows in terms of appeal is huge. The costumes and sets and extras are all great. That's it. They overuse vintage music every episode, but it can't hide the fact that there is no engine moving things forward. Maisel has a silly quest to become a comedian. I really don't buy that she needs it to be happy. And her comedy sets aren't very funny. She mostly complains needlessly about her almost perfect life as a laugh track plays between remarks. I used to LOL during GG at the great comedic timing and dialogue gags in scene after scene. There was no shortage of funny stuff. Here, not so much. Her father is not landing at all. He seems mean and if I'm supposed to find his career or intensity endearing, I don't. Her mother and rich friends are fine but again, there were one-off characters on GG that made more of an impression than these characters collectively do. Madeline and Louise were hilarious compared to Maisel and her pals. I like her husband/ex-husband, he plays his part well, but he's not funny either. Just believable. Borstein is extremely talented but her character isn't given much to work with besides swear words and a chaste lesbian lifestyle. She's trying her best, but its weird seeing her never land anything through no fault of her own. The plunger is cute....for a second. Then she's back to nothing. And back to Maisel...is it supposed to be funny the way she completely ignores her own kids? I'm not laughing. Seriously, what's wrong with you lady? I'm starting to think this series got a lot of praise to make up for the awards ASP never won for GG. Does it get much better? No spoilers please.

As someone who just made tres leches cake, I'm so confused how Laura had $150 for her dish. Tres leches is a pretty cheap cake to make. I'm guessing its just the added booze? Or she decided to go with really expensive cream and milk? Like there is just no way a tres leches cake should be that expensive.

Why did they even bring Carol in, though? She was only in one episode since she died, and I didn't think it really advanced anything.

They can absolutely pull things back after the cashier has scanned them. We've seen this numerous times when a team has gone over budget, they start removing things until they're under. The cashier just scans it again with a reversal, it's not hard. I'm really disappointed that Manny and Kevin did such simple presentations of beef and then messed them up as well.

I thought she was going to set off the smoke alarm, at the least. And if she burned the divorce papers, how does that help, anyway? If her husband wants to divorce her, burning the paperwork doesn't stop him, does it? I don't really understand the situation, though. If they are married, he doesn't seem to have been living with her. So... that's weird.

I was glad Carol wasn't in this episode. The main cast works so well together she doesn't fit in.

When they first introduced her a few seasons ago, the hospital staff all assumed she was with him only for his money, but it turned that she was more wealthy than him.

Thanks, caitmcg. Sorry, I had the wrong cut of beef, but he still couldn’t cook it properly.

Pretty much describes her every single day. Ridiculous and horribly acted. I have absolutely no idea why voters think she is so great. She makes me want to change the channel as soon as she opens her mouth.

I came to post this exact thought - what on EARTH do the OG Nick wives get out of this arrangement?

I knew I should have checked that before I posted - I was thinking that the extra game was added for the first time last year and I knew that the Packers had 8 homes games in 2022. I was right about the NFL not taking a home game from the Packers until there was the extra home game, I just didn't realize it had already happened! I never trusted those assurances from the league that they wouldn't take a home game from the Pack until I saw each season's schedule. I don't trust anything the league says, especially when they say they have a team's or players' best interests in mind. I had a friend ask me this week what position I thought the Packers would target in the first round. I told him it didn't matter because for every James Lofton or Aaron Rodgers in my lifetime, there have been about 15 Terrell Buckleys or Jamal Reynolds. I always assume the Packers' first round pick will be a bust. I still have PTSD from when they picked Mandarich instead of Barry Sanders and that was 35 years ago!

The Captain leaning on Kaya officially made me hate him. I wonder how she'll handle it. She was hardly in this episode or the one last week.

Lauren's dress looked terrible when she was walking to the couch & Orion's outfit is too casual. Did he get back to normal life living with his mom? Why didn't Kev also ask Austin why he was attracted to Becca??? Especially since that's been in question. 🙄 Did he quit the marriage too early? WHY did he quit??? What's the difference between "the process" & the marriage? Why did he later say he was out Day 2, but tell Lauren that stuff days beyond that?! Strong reaction? Stupid question!!! Why did that change things? Was he out at that moment? "Fully just as himself with nothing in between"?!!!! WTAF answer is that?!!! Still doesn't know how to answer questions I see! Asking WTF that means isn't questioning his morals. 🤨 Throw them both away!!!! WE KNOW THEY TALKED ABOUT IT LATER!!! Did he ask about the circumstances? ANYTHING about it? Did he want to know? Did he truly come back from that? Of course Kev didn't ask about him setting Lauren up with that word. Nor ask her how yelling & saying she wanted a divorce was conducive with a healthy, successful marriage. It's sad to see the smile she had at the very beginning in the wedding has long disappeared. 😢 Those parting words were hilarious though. Wish him nothing more than he deserves indeed. 🤣 COMPLETE WASTE!!!! I still don't know WTF he wanted post divorce. 🙄

Friday's episode will be Season 21, Episode 26, that was originally aired October 9, 2017. Discussion Link: "Phone Fight Ends Friendship" Case titles: 1) A Phoner Fight; 2) Not Giving Anything Back; 3) Being A Drag. Google's case summaries: "Tyler is taken to court by Kayla, for an unpaid loan, and a replacement phone. Then, Paul sues his former landlords for not returning his property or security deposit." Have a good weekend, everyone.

Elliott getting word to the team about Sam and their reactions as they heard brought tears to my eyes. Gosh, I liked Sam. The actor who plays Elliott’s older brother really seems like he could be related — good casting.

“They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord — And Delta women think the world of me…” Bet heaven’s bar is crowded with Delta women tonight! Loved your lyrics; loved your music. Southern Rock 4VR!!! RIP, Dickey B

Same! Even though I had mentioned both Colorado and Connecticut in a phone conversation within the previous hour, as if I suddenly had no idea that any state other than California possibly started with C.

Manny had the tough beef, it was Kévin who vastly undercooked the tenderloin. When it was served to the judges, he said "medium rare," even as they only had to look at it to remark, "still mooing" (and it was apparently pretty much raw, at that).

I enjoyed this episode. Nia is my favorite. Can't stand Michelle. I feel bad for Jesse.

They're all just varying points on an inherently predatory spectrum, a legal loophole where someone adds product and turns an illegal pyramid scheme into a legal (here in the U.S. and other, but not all, countries who regulate such things) MLM. (If most of a particpant's income comes from selling to true customers, that’s a business. If most of it comes from selling to people they'll have to recruit to become sellers themselves, and then they recruit others, and the percentage of their commission is how the money is made, that’s a legal pyramid scheme.) The income gulf between these MLM leaders and their distributors is huge, and it's not the same as looking at the same gap between CEO and worker, because the middle rungs of the corporate ladder are at least made up of salaried employees with benefits. What really gets me is the feminist façade used to prey on low-income women, with promises of autonomy and entrepreneurship; it's design, not coincidence, that these are pitched to women by women. Another disturbing aspect is how MLM leaders use many of the same indoctrination tactics as those used by cult leaders. Bottom line, most don't bring in decent money shilling this stuff; the overwhelming majority of MLM participants make little to no money, and in fact a significant percentage lose money. There are three general reasons for this: 1. The buy-in model. First, the company doesn’t spend a penny on training and marketing – participants pay to do it themselves. Then, obviously the cheaper a seller can buy the product, the more profit they make when they sell it. But to maintain access to those discounts, they have to keep buying; there are levels to attain, badges of honor with greater benefits at each, based on how much is bought. (And there are poor buy-back policies for unsold inventory, so people wind up with garages full of this crap they can't unload.) 2. There’s an inherently limited supply of people to recruit – that’s why the real winners are the person who started the business and the first people recruited. 3. You create your own competitors by recruiting other sellers from your social network, which is how these are structured; it benefits the owner, but not the participants. I think the best thing to do when a friend has been sucked into one of these is to gently present her with the facts, but if she's intent on learning the hard way go to one party, make clear you won't be recruited, and only buy something if you actually want it and think it's a good deal (I have a couple of Pampered Chef products I still use to this day).

Honestly, when I hear the term “ my truth,” it’s like a neon sign flashing “Bullshit Incoming.”

I am confused. Why are they making a Good as Gold music video ten years after Scheana first released the “song”? Can Lala actually play the drums?

I don't remember seeing his wife before, but Dr Abrams is certainly punching above his weight . . . .
