I’m glad to hear she is safe, but knowing that friends of friends lost EVERYTHING in the Camp Fire and that 600 plus people are still unaccounted for, the fact that multiple of her cars were saved doesn’t exactly make me swoon. I know this is a little apples and oranges—and normally I don’t like the Grief Olympics—but given that the enormity of what’s happening to the little people up north (and down south) it just serves to make me sadder. Sorry. The fact that I’m literally choking on the air here in the Bay Area isn’t helping matters, either.

Double InDUMBnity: The Coto Insurance Story

I see what you did there, Bronzedog. Good thing you didn’t throw in a turd third poop word...

It wouldn’t be so bad if they showed them doing something besides griping about the “grannies.”

I think the enema party is more fun than Gina’s belabored sequin dinner.

WTF how do you have life insurance on an ex???

And the Not So Real Fortune Tellers... I mean, who DOESN’T know a “SH”? And who here thinks she wasn’t fed that stuff to begin with? Reminds me of the fortune teller lady on Mama’s Family, who got all her intel from Vint on their rides to Mama’s house.

I know Mike is immature, but it’s a little much to call him a baby! ;)

I thought Episode 6 was ok—if not an episode of this series. Kind of an interesting story, but the Romanov connection was thread-thin (and apparently wrong, anyway). I’ll keep watching, because I’m in a rhythm of watching, but at this point my hopes are dwindling.

Kind of warming up to her. I found her totally annoying on People’s Couch, and a little annoying last season, but pretty ok this season.

I’m pretty sure that all that light powder on MJ was “baking.” It’s pretty popular among YouTube and Instagram “makeup artists” and it’s designed to set your makeup and make the finish more smooth. The irony is, a lot of people think it doesn’t really benefit anyone much past their 20s and it actually makes your lines show up more.

Me too. Aside from that super long wait for MJ, it’s really personal and kind of fun. I thought it was cute that she was stopping as she went down the aisle.

I love how much Tommy loves MJ.

Vida is a whole lot of something. “You ignored me from the second I walked in the door!” Like duh. I don’t love MJ’s makeup but I wouldn’t put my face in Vida’s hands either. That illusion neckline on her dress is driving me batty. But I love her hair and tiara. The name embroidered on the veil was a beautiful touch. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Hoo, boy. I was looking forward to episode 5 when I saw Ron Livingston was in it. (I’ve had a crush on him since Swingers. and yes, that crush survived Berger and the post-it note.) But... boy. This episode fell like a thud for me. I thought it might turn out as Mad Men Bob Part II—nice, accommodating gay man that turns out to be shady!—or maybe a really terrible Highsmith knockoff—but once I read this Rolling Stone review of the episode (spoilers if you haven’t seen the episode), it actually troubled me even more. The acting itself is good. The house it takes place in is AMAZING. But if you were already contemplating skipping this episode, don’t feel guilty if you actually do.

Of course I am going to watch this season :) But... is it me, or did the trailer seem less dramatic than in years past? The real tragedy, however, is that Brittney is actually getting married to Jax (wouldn’t wish that on anyone, but hey, then again, she should realize what she’s getting into). Also: Oh yay, more Raquel.

I liked what I saw of Welcome to Waverly. A friend posted an article calling it the “Anti-Bravo Bravo reality show” and that left me intrigued. What happened to the Jerry O’Connell show? Did Andy figure out how boring it was and pull the plug?

You’ll get there, @bosawks! I have faith!

At least squirrels remember where they store their nuts.

I like Ashton more than I thought I would. He has a good sense of humor and he seems to work pretty hard. I must be forgetting something...

Ha. They should have put her on this season’s Below Deck boat. The bosun’s name is Chandler. He deserves someone obnoxiously following him around yelling his name. Does Gina own stock in Blue Eyeshadowz R Us?

Yeah the lady was like “oh yeah, we TOTALLY have skinny margaritas.”

Gina: If you’re tired of talking about Shannon, STOP TALKING ABOUT SHANNON when you aren’t necessarily contractually obliged to do so.

Geez, Kelly’s TH shirt is getting more and more open each segment. It is a lovely color on her—but sheesh.

Shannon, I love ya, but you have NOT been “nothing but fun” on this trip.
