Lmao!!!! at which point it may actually be true.

For the reason it sounds like it should have.   Take the baby, don't take the baby, but she sounded like a complete fucking idiot basing their consideration on whether or not this is his *whole* sibling.   It's his sibling, dumbass.    <-- Ooooh look another statement tee lol

lil Wilder's 17th birthday, this is where she wanted to go.  She and the gaggle absolutely loved it.   My feelings were mixed.  The food was shockingly much better than I had anticipated (but still about a 6.5 outta 10), I liked that the kids were laughing their assess off from the excitement of the joust, but would I go back?  nuh uh.   It's just my personal belief that horse shit, hay, javelins and cornbread don't mix.  I loved GOT on tv, near my plate? I'm good.   Tipped that lady 50% for the indignity of being referred to (by other castledwellers) as a wench.  Yeah yeah yeah, historical accuracy, but she's wearing a name tag and you're holding an iPhone, please call her Joanne.

Not sure how to feel about D'eandra.  Hasn't she known her mama long enough to foresee this position?  Considering that she was asking for more responsibility and decision making power at work and finally got it, is this really (behaviorally) a surprise is what I'm asking.

Did you catch the preview of them on a samlor and somebody is singing what must be an actual song? (because her seat partner joins in) the lyrics of which go something like:  "we're in Thailand, where everybody gets a baby elephant" 

I feel like if Stephanie can deal with Travis' exhausting ass, Kam should cause her no agitation whatsoever. 

Butt sex.  Now, drink! 

I feel alone is this, but I find Travis extremely unappealing.   From his lists that treat his wife as a child or servant, to his constant appeals for "butt sex", including in front of Steph's parents, to his "new money" style of living in ornate, marbled mansions, I just can't like him.  In fact, when they showed the flashback of Travis floating in his dumb bathroom pool, I thought he looked absolutely repugnant.

I also think part of Steph's struggle is the lifestyle of conspicuous consumption, where she doesn't have to trouble her mind for anything other than yet another hundred thou dropped on a party, and how to decorate Travis's mansions.  She trained to be a social worker, which is not a career people go into lightly.  They are dedicated to helping those in need.  How can she not notice the emptiness of her trophy wife status?

I'm looking forward to the Jennifer/Danielle take down. I feel it brewing. Jennifer and her temper could mop the floor with Danielle. 

I'm sure the only reason Teresa is besties with Danielle is because production told her that is what she has to do because Danielle has no other friends. Tre probably hates having to play that game buy hey, she has a new pool to pay for!

Tre does nothing out of her own self-interest.  She's backing Danielle because Danielle is her attack dog.  Tre could care less if there were a friendless person on the show.

I'm sort of glad she hasn't.  At least two of her daughters have inherited her 2-head, and would be made self-conscious if Tre were embarrassed by her own hairline.

Bill Maher said this a few times: "Not all Republicans are racist. But all racists are Republicans." Too bad Her Twatness wasn't on his show when he said that.

Nothing I've read here has made me regret quitting this show. But I may tune in when Ronan Farrow is guest co-host.

I like Bill, but he's a notorious Islamophobe.  He also got in trouble for dropping the N word a couple of years ago.

It was stated up thread that she informed everyone she would be gone the rest of this week from Wednesday on. I didn't watch, so I don't know if she gave any reason.

I haven't seen this question answered, but I'm embarrassed that I only know the vagaries.  It has to do with honoring a Russian's foundation.  Meghan said it should be of interest for all those who hate Putin, so I'm guessing the man was a victim of Putin's.

Whoopi is a very generous person . . . when it involves not spending a penny of her own money or ceding any control of "her" show.

I know people praise Gia but to me, she needs to be knocked down about fifteen notches. Also, I am so beyond over the sucking up to Tre. 

I found Gia to be a bit obnoxious when she was younger, but she was forced to mature when Tre "went away".  I typically like Gia now, but it was very selfish to hog Joe during the phone call, and they didn't even bother calling poor Audriana down so she could at least hear her father's voice.  Why the hell wasn't the call on speaker?

I couldn't agree more. I can't stand Ryan or his nasty mother. I don't know how Eddie puts up with either of them. Tamra's got her orange (unfortunately) so I guess we're stuck with her, but there is no reason we have to be subjected to Ryan at all, much less his therapy sessions. He's an asshole, always has been. I worry about him having alone time with his daughter. His baby mamma, who probably isn't much better, should seriously think about supervised visitation He scares me..

I'll admit I never thought much of Ava's mother, but since said mother fled from a threatening Ryan with her three eldest, leaving baby Ava alone with him, I feel she's trash.  I thought she was a gun nut with dozens of guns, yet she can't properly defend herself or her children when danger presents itself.

Or I don't know, go to the schools themselves and talk to one of their advisors.  I did that shit for almost 15 years.  There are admissions counselors, college advisors (as in L&S, Engineering, College of Creative Studies at my school for example), and major advisors.  None of which will cost a dime.

As long as Shannon doesn't spend half a million to get Sophie on a team for a sport she doesn't play, or bribe someone to get Sophie extra time on her SATs, I don't have a problem with her college prep.  People with money spend unnecessarily all the time.

 So life is in the shits for me and my family as of late...My husband lost his job, and we are looking at having to leave the only city/area we've ever known. I've taken up the habit for the last few weeks of doing that thing where you just get in the car, drive around and cry so you can put a brave face on at home.

All of this over sharing is just to put in perspective how much I was looking forward to Tamra being taken down tonight. I was relishing the thought of her having to reckon with how much of an instigator she is, and how deeply dishonest she is with the rest of the women.

Needless to say, my escapism by way of Bravo was less than satisfying. Off to watch The Great British Bake Off with the last of the Reeses pumpkins.

I went through a very dark time about eight years ago, and I found watching horror films  helped.  It sounds counterintuitive, but it made me feel better.  Best wishes.

Fuck Eddie. Why don't you just  snap out of your A-Fib asshole. Depression is deadly and you don't just snap out of it. If my husband said that about my child I would snap the fuck out of him. Those statements he made were tragic and Tamra should worry about suicide. I spent my career in mental health and his pain is real and he needs more than a life coach.

I can't stand Eddie.  Never could.  I used to give him credit for that amazing pittie, but that was Ryan's dog, not his.

Abby is the definition of white privilege and her Pollyanna views are not contributing much to the conversation as of late.

I'm starting to feel like my circle of friends have no class.  I just realized I've never been to a wedding where I was served a plated dinner.  Ever!

It's all potluck/buffet/finger food from my group!

Sounds like a lot of weddings I attended as a child. Engagement rings didn’t cost a year’s salary, bachelorette parties were not three days out of town, and the honeymoon wasn’t paid for by boldly asking your guests to sponsor it. People saved up money for a house, and you know, the actual marriage.

What will LeeAnne do with herself now that there isn't a TV wedding to occupy her time? What other grifting narcissistic ploy will she turn to? Weirdly, I think she and Rich may last, in a dysfunctional way. They've run out of options to be with anybody else.

As I watched the carefully scripted and timed vows (LeeAnne waiting for her cues), I wondered if LeeAnne and Rich were auditioning for a revival of "The Honeymooners."

What's the attraction to Thailand and VietNam for Stephanie's father-in-law all these years? I know the family business has interests there, but why would a wealthy-but-ailing elderly man spend so much time there? 

Brandi's affect is interesting. She comes alive when she's alone with the women, drinking and carrying on, or in her talking heads. But with her family she's utterly flat and passive, even altering her voice. Weirdly checked out. Medication? Booze? Brandi puts me in mind of "mother's little helper." And their best story line is to bring another baby into this miserable family?

Housewives' jewelry, wine, clothing....every time one of them tries to jam a hastily slapped together product in front of our faces, I think "cheap Christmas trash." (TM the great Tess Harper in "Crimes of the Heart")

I’m in no way implying this about Travis’s father, but Thailand and Vietnam cater to rich men who like underaged girls.

She seemed perfectly normal back then.  I don't know if she shared similar political beliefs as her husband, who was mayor of San Fransisco during most of their marriage.  Maybe they had a Mary Matalin/James Carville or Kelly Ann Conway/George Conway type of relationship.   

On tv, she was what Sunny used to be, a legal analyst.  Her Wikipedia page says she joined Fox News in 2006, so I guess that's where she became more political.

Guilfoyle came to prominence as a prosecutor during the Dog Mauling trial in San Francisco.  Of course, the defense attorney was bat-shit crazy (flailing and crawling on the ground) and this made Guilfoyle look even better.

I think Brandi will adopt/already has adopted Bruin's sibling.  I'm not a huge Brandi fan, but I can't imagine someone being so awful that she'd use a private person (a newborn baby no less) as her main storyline.  There's absolutely no reason that this story had to be made public otherwise.

It does seem they're setting up that story line, and it's a shame since Brandi admitted, on camera, that she's really struggling with the three she already has.  Combined with the fact that they're openly talking of her eldest's behavioral issues and showing this on camera, leads me to believe that these are private adoptions.  The first adoption, sure, you can possibly slide by as portraying yourself on national TV day drinking while caring for your children, and your children mouthing off and disobeying. 

Now we're to believe, if this is the way it's going, that Brandi would be approved for another infant, within a year of the prior, whilst crying on camera talking about not even handling what she currently has?  I just don't see that being approved by the system.  I know there were posters trying to float the belief that redheaded babies are especially hard to adopt out, but I'm telling you, white babies of any hair shade or health condition, are in desperate demand.  That's not it. 

When the Bruin adoption happened, I thought it was probably a teenaged relative of Brandi or Brian, and that's why they look so similar.  I don't really know what to think now.  But I really don't understand why this bio mom is setting up a baby factory of infants she doesn't want.

It happens.  I know of three people who had that exact situation, and they all adopted the second sibling . . .

But where does it stop?  The bio mom seems to have no concept of birth control and is pregnant again less than a year later. Same time next year ... hello Brandi, little Bruin and Banker are getting another sibling. 😬

I just find it hard to believe that there is no financial incentive for this girl to keep having babies and giving them away.

Gina is a slick asshole like Tamra - she's laying the foundation to set Matt up.

I think she's thought this through and with the DUI over her head, the only way she is going to get primary custody of the kids is by getting a restraining order against Matt.

I think she was disgusting when she was "leading" the kids at the barbershop on their "feelings" about Gina/Matt spending time together. Especially - when she was shaking her daughter.

FUCK YOU Gina

I don't really agree with this, at this time.  Why in the world would she set Matt up and cause him to lose such a lucrative job?  There went her child support.  She does not make enough money from the show to decorate half of her house.  I'll see how it all plays out and see what I think in the end.

These pictures are from a few weeks ago. Jeremy's photographer friend posted them on his profile. They are true influencers now. They are taking professional pictures and storing them so they have something to post everyday.

The other day I read a post from a small influencer who said she broke up with her boyfriend but they both held off on telling their followers because they had so many pictures of them together that they still hadn't posted.

The fakeness of the top pic makes me laugh. Both adults are in the middle of step, Babe’s particularly big, and yet tiny Felicity is standing still with feet planted. I wonder how long it took to perfectly choreograph it.

I question the wardrobe department sometimes...why is it some days one person looks like they are going to a cocktail party (eg abby today), one is somewhat business casual (eg joy and maybe sunny) and one is business suits (mm)?  The cocktail attire thing happens a lot it seems with just one person (maybe Abby more often than others?).  Kind of odd.  

Abby's outfit today really confused me, and she seemed uncomfortable in it, repeatedly tugging at the straps of the tank top.  It looked like one of those ridiculous outfits the Brown family wears, which piles unnecessary layers on top of each other to appear "modest".
