That was legitimately the best Dorit has ever looked in my eyes - well done, her

Dear lord, Riley… I have rarely seen such a strong case for the effect hair and facial hair has on attractiveness 😳 Maybe the horrible stuff Matthew McConaughey does to himself? How can someone so good looking look so bad? I really do love the feel of this show - it’s very Schitt’s Creekish in its underlying goodness, despite all the snark and calculation.

They said that she put in money and sweat equity, which I took to mean she worked on the actual construction with him. I dunno, odd that the whole jury (minus one convinceable member) was immediately convinced he was innocent, but those phone calls were still really sus to me. Who calls that much for absolutely no reason, especially pre-cell phones…?

Me three! I was thinking maybe he *didn’t* really do it and he had somehow conspired with his mom in his whispering to protect the real killer or something, but no… It was just completely incomprehensible? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I think he was the new guy who ridiculously pretended to be a maintenance worker/janitor on his first day in the office - I obviously pay no attention to the revolving cast of characters on these shows either, because I thought he was the new cop from Chicago PD who just had an episode about his family/hood. And then I was all confused about why he was in foster care when he lived with his grandmother… 🤷🏼‍♀️ It doesn’t help that I’m usually reading as I ‘watch’ these shows, but they really are all blending together for me.

Dear lord, this ‘collection’ is the saddest, first-person-aufed-on-project-runway horribleness that I’ve ever seen… One thing that I really enjoyed about this show compared to all the RHs out there was how organic it seemed, with them relying on the super exciting location and all the adventures they could have for content - well, that seems to have ended. From the Margaux and Victoria v Anya, Adja, and Emily ‘overheard’ ‘mockery’ ‘misunderstanding’ and split to the really bad clothing that somehow needed to be fully designed and sewn in a New York minute, down to the wire… oy. The producer fingerprints all over this are making it so much worse. Sadface

I’m wondering what the rhyming slurs were, too… smh

I’m not prejudging Whitney’s potential past abuse, though I do sideeye everything about her saga-ing cleanser ‘therapist’ - if it is true, I feel really bad for her. BUT… dear god, what is that talking head look? I was watching a fb video today about hairstyles of the past that had a big 80s look, and it’s all I could think of. That was like Olivia Newton-John ‘Physical’ cosplay - eep.

It’s so interesting that this is a rare occasion where they actually go to a cast member’s *own* magnificent retreat rather than a rental property. Margaux’s dad sure seems to have done well for himself with his original biz and then his retirement into art dabbling… We should all profit so much from our fun little interests 😁 Margaux needs to take more notes from her conversations with him, to help with her artist’s representation/fashion design/whatever next week brings.

Haha - it’s worse than six figures, she wanted to make sure it *stayed* in the six figures… Implying that there was a chance for it to get to seven. If that plain-ass basement rec room cost $900k, well… Maybe it was built by military contractors, with the $23,000 toilet seats and all that?

That’s what we were just saying! It’s a luxury!

Yeah, these guys all seem to seesaw between whatevs and annoying, which is a big improvement on my hate-watch of so many other Real shows… I can definitely stick with this one to hear the French and see Paris and burn with jealousy once a week! At least until the seesaw comes down more on the annoying side… I’ll fully admit *I* am crazy jealous of the more financially blessed of these guys - darn it, why didn’t I have a Paris apartment bought for me or a fashion internship fall in my lap? Also, for F’s sake, Emily, put your freaking mask over your nose in a work situation… sigh

Agreed - in fact, Jasmine with her hair parted in the middle and severely pulled back inspired me to try it a couple of times (with really unfortunate results, bc while I have no lack of self-esteem and am of fairly standard attractiveness, I’m *not* a severe-hair, doesn’t need any help ‘very pretty girl’… Maybe I need to go a bit more intense with my eyebrows?) tl;dr Jasmine is very pretty without the caterpillars. And the cornpone voice and jargon, which is equally situational…

Gah, seriously, whyyyy is there no puke emoji? So gross

Also, dear lord, Stanbury’s shoes got worse…what the hell were those red monstrosities? If she ever tried to sit like a normal person (or *not* on Sergio’s lap wtf), she’d look like she was on a squatty potty.

Oh my, has this one completely lost everyone, or are the comments just not showing up for me? Sad… Although there’s not really much to say. Except, of course, that oh my LORD, if you’re having a formal(ish) party and you insist everyone wears white, the women are going to look like they’re wearing freaking wedding dresses!!! Ayan’s ‘dress’ was actually the least wedding dress-y of all of them, being a bathing suit with a table cloth on top of it… wtaf Also, Caroline Stanbury’s talking head platform shoes continue to be hideous. Huh, there were a few things to say, after all…

I laughed out loud when Bogota was a recent response, because Alex’s exaggerated Boh-goh-TA from my long (long) ago college days is *still* a frequent reference for my BFF and me. I really missed him then…

I used to lovvvvve the vanilla flavor - I wonder if it’s as good as I remember it, too? I don’t know where you are (or, tbf, what’s up with it in the US bc I’ve never looked for it here), but I know in Canada it’s been rebranded as Carnation Breakfast Essentials. I guess they wanted to make it sound more healthy, rather than just convenient! My mom buys it for my niece and nephews…

The Housewife and the Hustler is a new ABC News documentary original that debuted mid-June this year on Hulu and got deeply into what exactly Tom (and Erica) took from his clients. As others have suggested, it’s very much worth signing up at least for the free trial, assuming they still offer one, so you can watch it. It’s really shocking to see what people are capable of - as Erica says here, that scoundrel Mr. Girardi, stealing from widows and orphans, right under her unsuspecting nose… sigh.

I was (am? hmmm…) all for Brett and Casey, assuming they ever actually did it - hey, I could dream that it meant no chance of Gabby ever coming back - but damn, yes… They needed to hire someone less attractive to play Grainger and also make him less understanding, because he definitely looks like the better choice.

Oh my goodness, I totally heard this too and then was confused as to why they were bringing her the standing desk… And even then, I just ran with it and figured she was going to do some other work once it was over. Don’t judge me, it’s been a long week 😆

I was literally thinking the same thing during that last scene - I mean, he had the shakes, and that’s at least part of what was causing him to make mistakes in the OR. Did I forget (heh - completely possible with the attention I give to this show) some storyline where it was determined to be physiological, like a Parkinson’s diagnosis where Conrad was able to magically determine that he actually had a lesser, treatable condition that has now all but disappeared? It just hits me at random times...

Oh my god, seriously, the reason Pradhyuman has not agreed to meet any women is because he has no interest in women to begin with. Not that there’s anything wrong with that...

Dammit, giving up trying to quote bc I am an idiot, but wanted to agree that bitter, encroached-upon relationship Amy in this ep was the best she’s ever been. Fingers crossed it’s a good sign for the character!

Oh my GOODNESS... that is perfection. As is/was this show - I am so glad I gave it a chance, back in the day. It’s my happy place.
