That's Catherine The Old Dog Lady. TH says she's 26 but yeah, she looks 40+ easy. She'll be easy to pick out of a crowd though since her lips extend into the stratosphere. And her dress is HID-E-OUS! I usually don't care about clothes, including sequins, but that is one nasty dress.

Women, learn to JUST SAY NO! Someone needs to toss Catherine in the pool. "Oops! Sorry about that. Heh heh."

She looks and sounds like Camille Grammer, who is fifty years old.  And she's a bitch for traumatizing her old dog like this.

How is there an egg ceremony for gender reveal, when we're told ultrasounds aren't allowed for the Amish?  I know Mennonites have ultrasounds, so maybe they borrowed the ceremony?

Loved Joy's snapback at McCain being a bitch as per usual.

If you're referring to Meghan's crack that Joy keeps those 3 million votes under her pillow, I agree.  But, I was pleasantly shocked how well Meghan took Joy's clap back about Paul Ryan.

Shut up Megan! you know nothing about the Democratic party.  

Can you somebody explain why Whoopie was blasting Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez?  I am really tired of people trashing the young lady.  Megan doing it is expected, she is a blind follower of her team with no independent  thought of her own, but, I expect better from Whoopie, Joy and Sunny to not be so quick to believe whatever nonsensical defamatory story that Megan's team peddles about AOC.

Unless AOC said something truly offensive, this "schooling" was way over the top.  The way Whoopi's lip curled with bizarre anger and Meghan clapped and giggled, I thought I was watching Fox News.

When NutMeg was ragging on Ocasia-Cortez, Sunny noted that she was just elected a Congresswoman, suggesting she is doing something right, and NutMeg without looking at Sunny or pausing to take a breath said, I am still speaking.

I missed that, but Sunny and Meghan both avoid eye contact when they disagree.  It's like a table of children.

I love Ana on the show, but I remember the Ana I didn't like on Bill Maher's show.  If Ana starts strongly pushing Romney, I may start disliking her again.  I kinda sorta liked Meghan and Abby pushing back on the Romney love.  Having said that, I find Abby disingenuous in her attacks on Romney without mentioning her own father has personal beef with Romney regarding the Utah Olympics, and his endorsement of McCain over Romney in their presidential bid.  She's biased in her opinion, very much like Meghan is always biased in her own.

Your dog could lift its leg on an audience member, leap onto the table and drink from Sunny's mug followed by nipping Joy on the cheek, and still be a more considerate and welcoming panel member.

It is funny how Megan was decrying homophobia when it comes to Kevin Hart when she made a crack about San Francisco, yesterday.  She was also a bitch to Sunny. What an unpleasant person! there is no joy or humor in her.  She is too young to be so bitter.  Megan used a new word today in her word salad: vociferous.

The right wants to take down Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez so bad, it is actually very pathetic how it backfires on them every single time.  She is also not afraid to take them on  and she likes to throw barbs at the trolls online and Megan's former employers are the worst offenders.  

Too young, too privileged, too rich, too coasting on her family name, too employed in jobs she didn't earn, too blessed that her father lived to a ripe old age, too lucky that she still has her mother and all of her siblings.  From the outside, Meghan has lived a very charmed life.  Imagine if she were a minority with non-famous parents and no money.  Meghan is the very definition of snowflake.

The panel pissed me off with their moral outrage over that Democratic congresswoman using bad language. Why do Democrats always have to be nice, what the hell has that gotten us?  Joy was actually rolling her eyes at the snowflakes, I was doing the same.. I am really tired of the hypocrisy and double standards.. 

Definite hypocrisy.  If you watched/read Game Change, you know "fuck" was one of John McCain's favorite words.  Hopefully I haven't violated the rule.  The topic was a politician who cursed, so it feels right.

Does Megan know that there are Veterans who are Democrats. She has this narrow view of the world. 

I'm willing to bet that she ignores the existence of Max Cleland (lost three limbs) and Tammy Duckworth (lost two limbs) and their losses in combat, or somehow discounts them.   She's extremely selective in her military worship.

Yup, she's due in July. In the E News article I read, it mentioned that Sandra is 1 and Alec is 2 so she's got a stride going here. In the article she said that her and her husband are terrified but excited and that they feel like they've just figured out how to manage their 2 kids and will need to readjust once again. Didn't at all sound to me like a planned pregnancy. Were her comments after Alec or Sandra? She did suffer from depression after Alec, add to that she was very honest about how insecure she felt as a mother and feeling like she knew nothing but then realizing by the time she was pregnant with Sandra that no parent really knows what they're doing...they're all just trying to figure it out.

It was after Sandra.  It by no means meant she didn't love her kids, she always made that clear.  She just wasn't one of those people who adored babies.  I found it refreshing how clear she made it that babies are exhausting, hard work, and not a lot of fun.  So many celebrities like to portray perfection in new motherhood.

Two things:

I don't need your advice or scolding on what a feminist should or shouldn't do or feel, Miss Huntsman.

Meghan, it's easy to make faces and spit out you married for love and not money when you're a trust fund baby.

Both of these women irritated the fuck out of me today.  Oh, Tucker Carlson was a perfect gentleman to me.  Of course he was ladies, you are Republican white women with powerful Republican fathers.  Give me a break!  And one said he just loved immigrants?  Did they miss the part where he said they were dirty and dangerous?  Both are privileged twits living in their sparkling little bubbles.

If we have a 2008 kind of turnout, the rustbelt voters won't matter.  I'm so tired of hearing about them, I'm tired of hearing that we must respect them and figure out how to move them...like, what about EVERYONE ELSE?  Do we not matter?  

Ugh MM gives me a headache. 

I think the rustbelt voters are given so much import for the same reason Florida/Ohio/Pennsylvania are - the candidate who wins the majority wins the presidency.  Many rustbelt voters lack party loyalty, which makes them a particular group to cater to.  It is what it is.

I googled it as well...love Sara and super happy for her but the article I read it mentioned that Abby Huntsman was scheduled to be her replacement while on leave and now she's pregnant so now they've gotta figure out what to do. I didn't realize that Abby was potentially leaving.

Sara's pregnant again??  I love Sara, but she maybe it very clear that she does not enjoy the baby stage and struggles to get through it because she wants the family the babies grow into.  I really respected her for this brutal honesty, and I'm surprised she's doing it again.  Isn't Sandra still a baby?

So there's a lovely map of the new House, and Abby is explaining how wonderful it is to see so many women, and women of color.  Meghan has to interrupt to "shout out" for Dan Crenshaw.  I was so glad that they all ignored her.  There are 435 people there, Megs, and the topic was women!  But sure, let's call out a Republican male by name and attempt to hijack the topic.

For some reason, people like Meghan revel in surrounding themselves with innocent creatures they have killed.  You'd think they won in hand to hand combat, rather than assault rifles, while hiding in camouflage twenty feet up in the air.  It's pathetic how powerful it makes them feel.

I like Curtis and Drew's friendship, they're finally in a scene together, and then it got interrupted...great, like we couldn't have watched the news at 5:00 to see that.  And I checked the other stations--only ABC broke in, so I watched DOOL for awhile (didn't know Jack was back!).

It was nice to see the tribute to Gayle; wonder what's in her will?

I was personally delighted at today's news, but I've long noticed ABC does all of their break ins during GH, and have even speculated it's their way of destroying the show - besides the writing, of course.  ABC has proven they have no respect for their soap viewers.  It's just so interesting that the constant break ins continue even though the show went from 3EST to 2EST.

How did Hank know Drew with his new face? He called him Drew the minute he stepped out of the elevator. I like Billy Miller but he looks totally bored. You know he wants to work with Kelly Monaco but unless he has dirt on the writers or FV he’s gonna be stuck moping over stupid Oscar and “dating” Kim. Talk about dull. Also, the Hank guy has a great look for a random short term character. He’s only been on three times and I’m more into him then Drew. Hopefully, he’ll take his shirt off soon so an honest review of him can be given. LOL!!!!

Agreed.  We all have our preferred co-workers, but we don't get away with lethargic disinterest in our work, and I'm sure most of us don't make nearly his salary.  I really warmed to him when he became Drew, but that has all but gone.  Actors in the past have given convincing, passionate, romantic performances with scene partners they despise and who treat them disrespectfully.  See An Officer and a Gentleman.  Pouting that you are no longer in a story with your IRL lover is unacceptable.

Jovani!!! Haha

I don’t think Jackie’s article insulted Jennifer’s parenting or inferred anything about her kids being spoiled. She clearly described Jennifer’s kids as being sweet children. I also don’t see this as Jackie transgressing any boundaries of trust by writing a blog that was inspired by a visit to Jennifer’s house. She didn’t name Jennifer or her kids, she didn’t implicate the location of her home. She didn’t even share any details that weren’t shared in front of the RHONJ cameras. Hell, with the information she shared about Jennifer in the blog, I could have written that article as well because it was everything that was shown on TV. There was ONE shady line in that article and that’s when Jackie ended the article by saying that she hoped her new friend (Jennifer) heeded the advice provided in the article. Isn’t it advice that Jackie (who admits in the article also spoils her kids?) and for all parents to heed? Given that she’s a writer, she probably wasn’t trying to be shady but rather trying to come full circle with the article by making ending it with reference to the anecdote she used to open the article with. So Jennifer admits that her kids are spoiled but her issue is that someone else would say her kids are spoiled even though no one actually said her kids are spoiled. Just because someone references your children doesn’t mean you can suspend all sense and think it’s okay to accuse them of saying something they didn’t say just because your own bias negatively interpreted what they said.

Not surprising that Teresa would take the opportunity to let all of the women know about the article and using Jennifer’s summary of the article when her dead ass didn’t even read it and probably doesn’t even read the newspaper anyway.

I’m seeing a pattern with Jackie and I’m going to call her out on it (though I do still like her so far). Jackie doesn’t seem like a malicious or ill intended person. I don’t think she meant any harm to Teresa or Jennifer. But Jackie’s issue is that she gets defensive really quickly. She’s always talking about not backing down and that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean that in an altercation that there is no room for you to assume some kind of responsibility even if the issue is a result of miscommunication. If you said or did something that someone took in a negative way and that wasn’t your intent, explain yourself before you defend yourself and buckle down with defiance. I understand that Teresa went off the rails real quick on her but had she said ‘I was trying to make an analogy that I thought you would be able to relate to and admittedly, I don’t know all the details and so I never thought it would trigger you like that and it wasn’t my intention to do that either because I was not trying to insult you or hurt your feelings. I’m happy to talk it out and own up to that but I won’t engage with you right now if you’re going to yell and curse at me right now’. She could of owned up to perhaps the wrong use of words without even saying ‘sorry’. So far, Jackie has this much to Melissa and Dolores and Margaret but has yet to say it to Teresa. Maybe it won’t make any damn difference but at least she can say that she has nothing else to own up to. When Jennifer accused her of calling her kids spoiled, Jackie’s first reaction was ‘what did I say that was a lie’? Jennifer was being unreasonable but Jackie knew that from the moment Jennifer went in on her…why would you think the best first reaction would be to say something that dismissive? She still handled it better than the whole Teresa incident but in both cases, I understand Jackie’s position that whatever she said didn’t justify the reactions she got out of Teresa and Jennifer…and in Jennifer’s case, her reaction is based on things that Jackie didn’t actually say.

Jackie's first mistake was assuming Tre knew what an analogy was.

I actually can't fault her. She has communicated to her parents that she doesn't like filming. She is a minor. Her parents could refuse to give permission to have her filmed. They have not. The poor girl is left to her own devices. If that's hiding her face or ducking behind an object or a person, I'm sympathetic. She has limited resources and tools. Gabriella has grown up around cameras and still doesn't like them around. Perhaps her parents could be a little bit more mindful of that. At about Gabriella's same age, Aimee Osbourne moved out of her parents house because she didn't want to be on The Osbournes. Gabriella's only other options are applying to a boarding school to get the hell out of there or moving in Juicy's family. And that's really fucked up if those are the steps she has to take to keep herself off the camera.

Aimee was born in 1983 and The Osbournes premiered in 2002 - making Aimee 18 or 19 at the time.  But I agree with your greater point that while Tre seems to get scores of accolades for respecting Gabriella's dislike of being on camera, Gabriella continues to be filmed for this show.
