That dinner looked delicious! I wasn’t gonna watch it but darn, that food! I don’t count the chili cheese fries. Lol

Does this cabin come with Roooooooooobbbbb to hang TVs and launch boats and cook eggs?

Wasn’t really trying to quote Lu exactly when I said it , but I appreciate the thoroughness...

“We are now all dumber” —how I feel after watching this show

Shannon’s stuff seems real and not for the cameras. I don’t get why she’s making up with Vicki... But it doesn’t seem phony. MMV...

I don’t love watching people get hammered (TBH) but I do appreciate that they are actually having fun and having a conversation about real things and they don’t seem phony—whereas B is over the top with her dry cries.

I’m not a mom, but even if I were, I’m sure that watching a segment on choosing leggings would not make my top ten moment. I know we sometimes complain about the fights and screeching, but going full Mom Cam ain’t the way to go either. Oh my gosh, another wheelchair. They sure go through a lot to retread storylines on these shows. LOL Shannon. Sexier-ish.

Luann wouldn’t be happy. Don’t eat the street food, don’t drink the street juice! LOL This is far more entertaining than watching Bethenny dry cry.

Well we all know how it turned out with Kim Fields on RHOA! ;) Actually I think Lisa would be an interesting addition.

I caught some faces (on the show) that clearly were not very happy. Some “my ears, lady!” faces when the shots were going down and the screeches coming out!

I Doooo remember! And actually I think it happened in the Beverly Ann years. Let’s see a Real Housewives of Peekskill!!!

I forgot about that! Perfect...

At one point, she flirtatiously giggled at something the chef said. I wanted to barf. I don’t want or need that on Food Network. Incidentally it also makes you lose authority—like you’re not there to be a food show host, you’re there to flirt. Save the tee-hee for off camera.

I thought I was the only one... Anyway. I guess I’m rooting for Manny. To answer a question from above: yes, this show used to be more interesting and had a better mix of professionals and home chefs. And say what you will about Guy Fitti (and yeah, there’s a LOT), he’s probably its prototypical success story. The winners of the first season (Hearty Boys) would probably never make it past the auditions because they’re so normal.

I’m so glad Christian woke up in time to film this episode. I just wish they would have let him change out of his pajamas first.

I would like to think that the constant praise of Kathryn was an effort to appeal to her better angels. By being so vocal, I imagine that they’re trying to encourage her to stay on the right track. Not to say that she’s great... but to reinforce the improvement. They tried to show me ads for rehab, but I said no, no, no...

For some reason he reminds me of Mike Damone (that is, Robert Romanus’ character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High). He’s cute but then you are put off by something. Like maybe you can tell he scalps tickets and dates the girl your little nerdy dude friend has a crush on.

Finally caught this episode last night. I think pretty much everything has been touched on, LOL—except that I DID have a dream that I was on a vacation in some sort of villa, with something antagonistic happening, and it left me with a sense of unease... Yes yes yes to your whole post, but the bolded especially resonated with me, as that scene bugged. No matter who you believe was at fault for the B/C and D/L “discussions,” both Carole and Dorinda had clearly had difficult nights. Carole wasn’t even super focused on her OWN appearance—she was basically fresh out of the pool, not glammed. I think she just wanted to step back and commiserate/let her figurative hair down a bit in a less pressured setting. Defaulting to the “moron” language was unnecessary. I like Dorinda when she’s in a sober frame of mind, so I’m sad that we are seeing more and more of Slurinda.

Yeah, exactly. That reaction was more about Vicki (surprise, surprise)—that she was actually responsible for that conversation between the son and Tamra & Eddie..

Does Vicki have a conscience? I mean, rewatching hat scene with her and Kelly at the end, it’s like she’s incapable of understanding human emotions and honest behavior—and then does her darndest to blame the other person. “Don’t put it on me that I had a party and your ex was there and he met a woman and we’ve hung out several times but I didn’t bother to tell you any of this until you confronted me!!!1!11!!!!”

It’s amazing (ha) to me that she was like NO I have no interest in this Bravo thing because my reputation r whatever—but yeah, sign me up for Dirty Dealing 3D, it’s super classy.

Yeah but he’s got a whole Fauxtalian restaurant chain to compensate! ;) Also reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons episodes...

Dear Vicki: there’s a difference between not telling your friend that her husband is dating, and actually facilitating him getting together with other women and having him at parties that she’s not invited to, and not giving an eff about any of it. So weird, I saw New Housewife 1 go to dinner with her husband and thought, “there’s the next RH divorce....” and then the whole conversation is fraught with tension and divorce talk.

I always bring a typed speech littered with quotes from Deuteronomy to my apology lunches. i need a GIF of Vicki’s reaction to Tamra’s son’s comment. ♥️? Geez she said it again!!

I can’t handle that Kristin Cavallari show. You already HAD a 100% fake show, lady—why should I watch this one? Thanks for the deets on GG! I can’t justify that Prime price. Crazytown.
