  1. They have TLC's paychecks - they don't need other jobs.
  2. My goodness...I almost had to take notes during this episode of all.the.things Max - I definitely feel like he is a closeted gay. He is consistently handsy with the guys - he almost sucked on Micah's nipple in one episode, let alone all of the other times that they showed those two "wrestling". And on this episode he touched Isaac in a way that needed need to be done. Come on out, Max. Micah - See above. And he moved to West Hollywood, a completely flamboyantly gay area. And he looked miserable in his video, perhaps because his special friend Max is not around? Moriah - Such a pretty girl without all of the ridiculously long false eye-lashes, lip fillers, and tons of makeup (IMHO). Isaac - Good grief, TLC...not in any way, shape, or form is it safe to ride on a truck like that. Especially with one hand, and it looked like the truck wasn't exactly creeping out of the yard. Maybe he jumped off pretty quickly but I thought that scene was weird to show. Especially since Ethan and Olivia had already said their goodbyes to the kids, including Isaac. Olivia "needing closure" with Barry and Kim - I know there is a lot of love for Olivia here, but this girl drives me batty. She's spouting therapy-speak with moral superiority but (seemingly) no depth behind it. My perspective is that she is manipulative and controlling. Barry and Kim - They are bonkers on so many levels. All of that being said, this is a scripted show so I have no clue how true any of it is.
  3. It's particularly hypocritical of Meri, since she was ready to bolt when she thought she was deep in a relationship with another man. Where was all of this "never quit, we've put 30 years into this, I'm never leaving" thoughtline when she was close enough to leaving that she probably had a bag packed? I guess she is feeling that misery loves company so if she has to stay, everyone has to stay.
  4. Logged on here just to see who joins me in utter hatred of this jerk. His egocentrism (is that a word? I feel like it's a word) is outdone only by his douchiness (not sure about this one...kinda doesn't feel like a word).
  5. Came here to say the exact same thing. I was afraid that my ears were going to start bleeding.
  6. And now my cats are awake and wild at 12:30am because I woke them up when I laughed out loud. Thanks!
  7. Oh my gosh...this show sounds *amazing* and I can't wait to watch it! Just have to finnish 2 more episodes of Dexter, then I'm onto This Farming Life. Thanks! I love farming life, but it ain't easy. You really have to LOVE it. It's abundantly clear that Brandon doesn't like it and Julia hates it. They need to GTFO and let the wackos run the farm. In between creepy discussions about sex.
  8. Brit - Father Brit has the same perma-grin that Brit does. I think she comes by it naturally and the faux (or at least not necessary) braces emphasize it. Ari - Honestly, this girl is ill-equipped to be an adult. She has no capacity to deal with minimal levels of stress, which likely is being exaggerated due to hormones...but I don't think that hormones and postpartum depression are the root of it. Combine that with her entitlement and her view that only her feelings count, and we have a girl-child that melts down at every turn. I feel sorry for baby Avi and hope that a functioning adult helps her raise him, if not Bini. Also (and totally unrelated)...she has weird club fingers.
  9. Well...I guess she could have, 'ya know, got to know him and his life history? She went into this whole "I'm gonna have a baby with a stranger and give birth in a strange land" affair with (seemingly) not much thought about his past or their future. And I honestly don't understand why she would have a right to be surprised about him following his culture any more than he has a right to be surprised that she wants to follow her culture. The fact is that they are two imbeciles who had no business procreating and then trying to create a family life without actually knowing the other person and what their core beliefs are. Also..."what he's already done"? That's incredibly one-sided since we viewers have zero knowledge of what occured with his first wife/baby-mama (not sure if they married).
  10. While I don't agree AT ALL with some of Bini's viewpoints, we have to remember that he has had a very insular world. He knows what his culture dictates, but how would he be terribly aware of differing thoughts? Ari is the alleged world traveler, so she should understand that a vast portion of the world is extremely ingrained in their own traditions and beliefs with very little outside influence. He's a product of his upbringing.
  11. No passes given from me. The C-section was a surprise, but popping that kid out in Ethiopa has been the plan for 9 months. They could have prioritized a car seat over a bathtub...IF they could have found one. Apparently car seats aren't regularly used there so they may not even be able to get one.
  12. Oh my lawd - Ari has got to be one of the most genuinely infuriating cast members that has ever been on any of these stupid shows that I insist on watching. She cannot handle one.single.second. of any sort of stress. What an emotionally stunted crackpot. Mybaby mybaby mybaby... So the big Baby doesn't get to claim Avi at all as THEIR baby? Great - go be a single mom in Ethiopa and see how long it feels like the cool thing you imagined being a new mom in Ethiopa to be. And the circumcision that you now think shouldn't happen until Avi can make the decision for himself? So he's gonna cut his penis when he turns 18?? Seriously, this girl is a total nutjob and I feel terrible for that little guy. Hopefully her seemingly sane parents will step in and raise him. But then again, they raised her...so...
  13. For me, I DO think it's important to give a voice to addiction issues. I don't believe that everyone has to drink to make this show interesting - that's not the reason why I watch, it just is what they do. I constantly feel terrible for the kids that wind up seeing their moms get naked wasted and putting themselves in unsafe situations. That being said, the way that Braunwyn handled this feels less than genuine. You're on freaking reality show, FFS. Tell everyone all at once, then do a TH that explains the situation, then deal with the REAL issue on the show - alcoholism - rather than the fake drama of "secrets". If you want secrets and your own timeline, you shouldn't be in front of a camera.
  14. I just finished binging this (thanks, pneumonia!) It was fine as a way to distract myself from being bored silly, and I thought the acting was pretty good all around. But the plot..jeez. Like others, I found some parts of it to be just too unbelievable. Sophie, Rachel, and the other lady all live next door to each other - literally 3 in a row - years after the school fire. And Eric - father of Craig, another of the arsonists - also lives on the same street. WTF? Did they all grow up in this homes and then take over from their parents? OK. The logical solution to a single arson is to immediately install a gate and guard shack, hire a guard, etc... for an entire community? OK. Sophie didn't know that she lost her pendant when she killed Chris? And then she didn't know that it was entered as evidence? Or maybe she just didn't care/think it would matter...even though she's a detective and should maybe be a lil' concerned. OK. Drunk/stoned teenagers at a house party and a beautiful pool and patio is theirs for the taking, but they stay inside. OK. I gotta admit that there were some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. And I'm probably in the minority, but I enjoy shows that show the same scene from different points of view. Would I recommend the series to anyone? Yes, but with some caveats of suspending belief for 8 hours.
  15. I spent the first 23 years of my life driving back and forth from our house in Miami to our condo in the Keys, so I was curious what the road sign was that was shown in the last few seconds of the show - when John is driving away with "Danny". I froze the frame, and it looks like the sign said "Gilberts Island Resort", but I didn't have my glasses and it was not very clear. So John could be headed to visit Ray Gilbert? Did anybody else catch this, or am I seeing things?
  16. Thanks for the New Holland love - I work there :-) Funny to see my place of employment on Previously TV! And hummus is indeed very common in these parts. As for the show: someone please push Aaron off a cliff. Dude is insufferable. Little Dick can go right behind him. The general public doesn't get radicchio? Whaaa? Gregory FTW. I tried to like James, I really did...I always root for the Michigangster to win. But really - his food was straight out of the 80's. "Norm" didn't seem to jazzed to be on the show. I get the impression that his manager forced him to do it...or his bank account did. He and Padma got way too much into the clinking of the glasses. Loved Michael Schlow.
