Whinin' in the mornin'! Whinin' in the evenin'! Whinin' at suppertime! Be my whiny steward, and whine me all the time!

Sorry-- I didn't mean to imply that ivf is somehow less "Christian" of a choice. At all. And I sincerely apologize if anyone took it that way. I'm pointing at Lydia's tendency to pick and choose which issues she seems to be more concerned about in relation to spiritual importance or outcome. I hope that there's more to what Meghan said that makes it a little more redeemable, but maybe there isn't. That's a pretty bracing sound bite. But don't get me started on Vicki's "Christ on the cross" comparison.

In that order. LOL You know, I was initially bugged by the preview clip of Meghan telling Lydia to stop reading the Bible and start trusting her own judgment (or whatever). People have long consulted religious texts, wisdom literature, the work of philosophers, and so on for guidance. But I realized, she’s probably referring to Lydia’s tendency to selectively decide whether or not something is ok or not based on its presence or lack thereof in the Bible... but really, she’s basing it on whether or not she wants to do it (because “ball”-snipping and IVF aren’t there, either). ETA Lydia has also ignored very specific stuff about kindness and not being a snotty jerk. Because I can’t see Meghan pulling that line on Tamra. All hell would break loose. ;)

Those dresses are a “con” on just about anyone ;)

Which is why she should take his advice on hair product! ;)

Archie. Best Supporting Player With a Ball on a Real Housewives Show since Kyle's Bambi on RHOBH.

They’ve been shilling that priv service on nearly every Bravo show this season. So I guess you’re saying this wasn’t a great ad? ;)

REALLY? After all that talk about de-balling her husband, NOW Lydia wants another baby? UGH. Kelly and Shannon could be a cute pair next season. BTW was that Heather McDonald behind Tamra in her "goodbye" scene?

Peggy: "let me interrupt this actually funny moment to tell you, awkwardly, that I am 'sorry.'"

Just in time for the shopping season... Sofia Vergara is back with her Ninja coffee maker and Specialty Bruce!

Peggy. Hair oil. Deep condition. SOMETHING. There has to be SOMETHING she can use to care for that hair that's also post-cancer friendly. She has money! Or just borrow whatever Diko uses. Or ask his advice!

Hmmmmmm. Kelly's moving on from Michael... maybe she should go on RelationShep? Hashtag Awesome Crossover!

I had the exact same thought! Take the 10 to the 405 North and let it dump you out on Mulholland, where you belong!

Maybe we'll be blessed with a version of Southern Charm featuring Brianna!

I always loved the episode when she wore her “sexy” dress, which was basically the same as her normal dresses, but it could “convert” to an off-the-shoulder dress.

Ooh, I think you just Perry Mason-ed this scenario out! Nice job.

I couldn't decide which bothered me more: Jen's laziness and unwillingness to accept that work is, in fact, work; or, Bruno's armchair quarterbacking about the interior staff's work. Maybe Jen, because at least Bruno was a little humbled at the end.

Oh, but I thought she did say something! Along the lines of, how sad it was that they ganged up on poor Peggy, who means well and is just misunderstood. *eyeroll* Maybe it wasn't Aspen crying; maybe Peggy was just hearing the sound of her own whining echoing off a nearby glacier.

Running through my head are alternate-universe sitcom opening credits, set to the "Friends" theme song but featuring wacky clips of Vicki. "Your job's a joke, your eyes broke, your love life's DOAaaaaaaa..."

Geez, what was with that jacket look? It was like she wanted to look like an 80's hair band member... appearing on an episode of Behind the Music. Scraggly hair, patchy makeup, and outdated ripped denim from past glory days.

In most cases I’m hopeful that people will resolve things without divorce. Even Shannon. But man, David is being a douche.

“Between you, me, and the fence post...” Uh, Vicks? You’re sitting at a table full of people with cameras all around you. That phrase is about the exact opposite of what you meant. At least Peggy wasn’t there to say, “what fence post? What is fence post? Pfft.”

Yeah, that Jermaine episode is crazy, but I’ll be honest: I did basically the same thing, around the same age. Simon le Bon’s my favorite! No, John Taylor is! No, Simon! And I can’t explain why, either. Maybe it was how they looked in their different videos? Maybe Simon got a bad haircut at some point? Not sure. In itself, flipping out over Jermaine was weird. It was clearly driven by “this is the Jackson we can get for the show.” But flip-flopping, I can see.

Timeless A F. LOL

Oh man, I know that Larry David landed some duds on this week's SNL, but there was an *Erika Jayne parody* on this week. Given that so many SNL folks are Bravo fans, I'm a little not surprised, but it's pretty dead on ;)
