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.

But then again, help yourself, run! Run away from this shit show.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.

I know that Richard Blais thought to himself, “Gee, there will be a lot of contestants and judges on the set. How can I stand out and make everyone pay attention to me? I know! I will pile all my hair up on top of my head and look like an asshole!!! Yay me!!!!” I cannot stand that man.
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).

Came here to say the exact same thing. I was afraid that my ears were going to start bleeding.

"Look I have a great idea: you fly to Serbia to stay in a hotel for two weeks, then fly here, what could go wrong?" This is never the start of a story with a happy ending. In fact it's how Liam Neeson revenge movies start.
And now my cats are awake and wild at 12:30am because I woke them up when I laughed out loud. Thanks!

Agreed. I watch a wonderful show on Amazon Prime called "This Farming Life". Each season they follow half a dozen farm families in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the north of England. There's one couple who retired and bought a croft on the west coast of Scotland. Wild, windy, hilly. Its just the two of them. They have some Highland cows, some sheep, some chickens. They do everything themselves without complaint. One farm is run entirely by a woman who's maybe 50, with her two daughters, on the Shetland islands--the husband died suddenly when the girls were teenagers, and they do all the work. One 60-ish woman in the far north who has something like 800 sheep! She's out on the hills on her ATV, with a few of her dogs, rounding them up in bad weather. Brandon's parents are pikers. If the farm is too much then they should downsize. Its clearly their dream, not Brandon's, anyway. And expecting Julia to be unpaid labor is way out of line.
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.

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.

I'm no fan of Ari, but she has a bit of a right be be surprised that he's insisting on following his culture/religious rules after what he's already done. Twice now.
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).

Only a little more than half of the baby boys born in the US are circumcised because many people are declining this elective surgery for their infants. Likewise, many insurance companies are no longer covering the procedure (unless specifically medically necessary).
Interesting. What are your sources for this?

What bugs me about Bini is that he makes these big pronouncements about child rearing with a huge smile, then gives Ari the "puppy dog eyes" and shrugs his shoulders like "this is just the way it is, like it or lump it."
Yep...and in his world, that's how it works.

Bini's views on everything child/mother related are just gross...with respect...what the fuck do you know about anything?
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.

Hate on Ari all you want, but she is 100% right to not feel safe putting the baby in a car without a car seat. Also, she just had a c-section so no, she couldn’t walk home while carrying the baby herself. Yes, she was unprepared and naive, but she had an emergency c-section in a foreign country. I’m giving her a pass on this one.
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.

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...

So show the fans that Drinking is more important? This show isnt the real drunk housewives of whatever city its not only for woman who drink prioritizing that over showing other woman who do have real issues is telling people what? that you should shut up and hide? that you are only worth something if you do drink? Why not show a housewife who is going through something and trying to get help? I would say yes if she was like Kim richards and a hotmess with the issues but she isnt ... let her tell her story.. whats so wrong about that? Just because you are an alcoholic doesn't mean you stop being around people who drink .... that's not the real world ....you dont all the sudden get put in a bubble you have to learn to deal with being around that ....
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.

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.

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?

In Swayze's defense on the hummus -- it actually is super common bar food here in Michigan (at least in craft beer bars, gastropubs and breweries, which I would bet is more his comfort zone than dive bars). Some of it is mediocre and placed on the menu just to pacify vegetarians, but some is sublime. I'm a big fan of the hummus at New Holland, for example. They used to have a super smooth extra tahini version (I suspect they removed the skins from the chickpeas) which was amazing, and now they do a black bean version which is zippy and delightful. Someplace I'm forgetting had a white bean and rosemary version earlier this summer that was served with a dollop of really good olive oil on top along with some celery, carrots, and house made pita bread. OMG, so good.
And even when I order things like the crazy crack-like buffalo chicken dip at Short's (which is smothered in blue cheese and just hard to stop putting in your mouth) I order it with celery and carrots in place of the crostini. "Bar food" is not just fried things any more, and there is a pretty large percentage of craft beer drinkers who actually prefer healthy(ish) snacks with our beer. I mean, the fewer calories I eat in bread, the more I can drink, right?
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.
