So we're still more than a year away from a present timeline. I'm glad we're seeing all of this, but they could hurry it along more. I know that's not Puddle Monkey's style, but they have to evolve with the times man. Watching Meri and Janelle was painful. They are both still blocked up. They are both still defensive and attempting to play nice. Even in regards to Kody and Robyn where the writing has been on the wall for an excruciatingly long time. I would think that it would feel so liberating to let it all out. It doesn't have to be the ex wives club! Meri really has a difficult time with self awareness and reflection. She is still sore that Christine was trying to protect herself when she left Kody and couldn't commit in that moment to have a relationship with Meri. Meri ALWAYS was siding with K&R, why would Christine feel safe with her?? It's really too bad. At the party when they were hugging, I felt so happy that they had a moment where they just leaned into it and let their guard down and expressed their love for each other. I thought that was lovely and I think they could absolutely have a wonderful friendship. I think once they are done with the financial stuff with K&R, they can all get to a place where Kody never has to be a topic of conversation and the three can just be friends. I can see it happening. I hope Meri comes around. I really didn't like Gwen's interactions with David. What kind of adult acts like that? Next week's preview is sad. Ysabel shouldn't look at David as someone who could come in between her and Kody, she should look squarely at Kody if she doesn't have a relationship with him. It is 100% on Kody.

I see now why Tamra's daughter agreed to film with her. She is an aspiring music producer/performer. This whole season I couldn't figure out why she was there, her mood, her demeanor, was always like eyerolly and "get me outta here". Now it makes sense. She needed exposure. Meh. I will always bat for Shannon, I can't help myself. I know she is an absolute MESS, but I find it annoyingly endearing. I hope she finds health and happiness. Tamra is a snake and always has been. I don't think she has ever been selfless or genuine. She yells so much and is rude, mean and punches below the belt. I struggle with Heather because while I appreciate her relationships and support of her kids, I find her tone to be exhausting. I think over the years the money keeps her wildly out of touch and judgmental. I don't think she's real. And that sucks because years and years ago there was a cast trip and everyone else got all made up with impractical attire and she was dressed down and casual and it struck me that she wasn't about to put on for the cameras. But here we are now and I think that is all she does. Also her obsession with thinness has cost her her youthful appearance. Gina's nose in her one talking head (the red/orange dress) looks THIN. Like really distractingly thin. Bad contouring? I love Emily. She too, like Shannon, is quite a mess. But I think that's fun. I just really love her big personality and I love that she gives Alexis SHIT. I've never enjoyed Alexis on the OC. I think she is so fake and so performative. Bleh. I find Jenn to be sad. I'm rooting for her, but I think she is just meek and sad. I hope things improve. I don't mind Katie much. Her "proof" about the Heather paparazzi photos was unimpressive. But I like her trying to go toe to toe with Heather. I hope she keeps it up. The thing that drives me crazy is her kid's name. BANDON? IDGI

Kody's love is conditional. And that is very gross. Robyn's kids kiss his ass (maybe not Dayton as much), that's what he sees as "respect". This whole episode was VILE. He kept ranting and railing against his own children. And HE kept bringing up the fact that he doesn't love their mothers.

In the NY/NJ area you should always make reservations. You never know when a place will be crowded. You can't even really go by time of day anymore. I've been burned too many times not to have something on the books. It also helps the establishments too. I lived in DC for almost 20 years as well, and wouldn't think of going somewhere without a resy. YMMV When Teresa started reading about what a high moral compass she has vs everyone else, that's when my eyes rolled back. Narcissists always think they are taking the higher ground. Also laughable that she had to forgive God for her going to prison for fraud. What planet does she exist on?

Robyn is a FREAKING LIAR! And she was caught. Horrible woman.

The primary can save it with that hushed talk about her "Cult Gaia" dress. Whispering that they won't give Jaimee their dresses anyone because they're expensive. Natural, quality fabric dresses do not melt. That dress is 100% polyester and that's the sin of it all. She probably paid a few hundred bucks for it. Which is not nothing, but she was acting like it was silk. Jaimee did her a favor. Also, I really root for Chef, but she just has zero self confidence and it shows. The onion volcano would be the easiest thing she could do for the Teppanyaki!

Yup! That little detail always gets me. Such a good episode though. Most (if not all) of the Friends Thanksgiving episodes were pretty great.

I just watched The One Where Ross Got High and it's definitely in my top 10 Friends episodes. It's almost perfect! But one little detail always bugged me SO MUCH: When Rachel and Ross come back in from the hallway, the trifle is not only already divided up onto dessert plates, but there isn't a serving for Rachel! She doesn't even get a taste. (She attempts to take a taste of Ross's but he slams it down so she can't.) And I understand WHY they couldn't have her eat it. But it always takes me out. I wish they found a different way to handle that. So many tiny details like that become attention grabbing to me since I watch Friends as my background noise everyday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, he came over when they had like 22 minutes until they needed to leave. Team Ross.

This was one of those stories I watched and couldn't help but hope that my brain was wrong and they make it after all. The outright audacity of Lucas to not even admit that he was wrong. He was WRONG to let the launch go. Because the shuttle blew up and they all died. He DIDN'T make a good decision based on the information he had. It was the absolute wrong decision. Just say you're sorry and be done with it. Take responsibility like a decent human.

Scheana is absolutely ridiculous. But FUCK Adam.
