The girlfriend didn’t seem anguished to me at all. She was saying what she was supposed to say, but her eyes were giving her away. I think she just wanted to be pretty on tv. Her poor kids. Remy & Michael from the Ukrainian orphan Natalia documentary should be locked in a cell together.

Every episode has this intense pacing where you are always on the edge expecting the worst to happen and then everyone just kind of gets on with their lives. Like the Mom of the male protestor, she goes out in the wicked storm and she’s followed with lightning crashing etc. I half expected her to get hit by a bus or something, but she just ends up back at her apartment. The lonely woman with the ceiling leak, the mood was as if someone would break in or the roof would collapse on her, but she just gets through the night and is business as usual in the morning. I suppose the idea is to keep us feeling constantly tense to translate the mood of a family with a missing child-not knowing, always wondering, always waiting for the worst outcome….so well done if that’s the intention. However, it’s becoming exhausting. All wind up and no release. Also, quite predictable-I knew as soon as Hilary got drunk and chatty, Puri (?) wouldn’t make her auditon and Hilary would treat her like the help and not a friend as soon she sobered up. And you can see Mercy being pregnant a mile away. Always a plot point when a woman is unable to get pregnant on a tv show or movie. They set this series up like a mystery’s and they follow each character’s actions with long lingering shots and moody music, like each plot line has a reveal….but they don’t. So probably on purpose but I’m not a fan of manipulative editing. I did enjoy the rain and the peek into the workers lives, I just didn’t like the bait and switch in regards to the direction, if that makes sense. it’s probably why I never liked The White Lotus. Just feels like your watching a whole lot of nothing.

Seriously, he was a head strong, ambitious man when he was first introduced. They’ve turned him into David.

Wasn’t Maurice in his own real estate reality show for Agency-Buying Beverly Hills? Is that still filming? Maybe Kyle’s mad that he was doing his own show & she wasn’t the star. I’m just not buying this narrative that she’s been feeling neglected for a while. Seems to have come out of nowhere. Had to be cheating. Not looking forward to seeing their kids in tears next week. I wouldn’t allow my kids to be filmed like that.

I’m with Sutton-where’s all the handrails? Rich people just float up their stairs.🤣 Didn’t they rip Denise for having a diamond ice sculpture at her party?

I also love how Kyle talks like she and Mau started from Nothing when her family was rich, they had insane contacts already well-established. Not many women are able to be so available to their kids because they’re working actual jobs…every day, all day, not just jaunting off to a movie set for a week here and there. Or meeting with staff about vanity projects where their “work” consists of criticizing the output of other people that they’ll just stamp their name on. So, now the kids are grown and Kyle’s bored and mad that Maurice has a job? Wow. Get over yourself. it’s got to be cheating & they agreed not to say it, right? The thing with “I won’t accept things I wouldn’t want my daughters to accept”. That doesn’t sound like ‘he works too nuch’

What’s with this edit of Erika being wronged by everyone? And they actually Apologize to her. It’s making me sick. Nice she can afford an ass-kissing therapist. Sell your earrings grifter & maybe one of Tom’s victims could afford therapy for having to watch you flaunt your continued wealth while they struggle.

She looks great. I would hate constant comments about my weight loss, too because it would feel like pressure to keep it off which is Hard as Hell. Plus, With a lot of people, it’s never enough. You get a lot of “keep it up!” Which is not a compliment at all….however, I also would never go on tv. So, she’s kind of stuck unless she quits the show & goes off the grid so to speak. I would love a show about a fat woman who is happy with herself, to where her weight isn’t even mentioned, but in this society, it’ll never happen.

She can't blame editing anymore. Done with her after watching how she acted with those women (& what she did to that designer.) She strutted in Like the queen doing a royal briefing. They were much classier toward her than I would've been, and even more than she deserved. I'd actually let Annemarie stay if they'd drop Ericka from the show. let her get a Real job and no more attention.

She’s so rehearsed and fake. “I’ll do anything I can to help you” …(but I’ll make sure there’s nothing I can do.)

This slime, Girardi, has been ripping people off for 40 years! He had over 200 complaints filed with the California Bar & they did Nothing because he paid them off. Disgusting. They should be held accountable, too. A lot of people besides Tim are guilty here. I was giving Ericka the benefit of the doubt on knowing his was crooked, but after what she did to that designer, no more. She knew, she participated, and she Still doesn’t care about the victims At All.

‘Buy bread’ lmao. please. Her older male benefactors have kept her more than comfortable this whole time. She really knows how to snow the geriatric males into seeing her as a helpless little girl.

Had to laugh at: “Two things happened since we met last…One, I lost 70lbs…” pause for compliment that never comes. her “uh huh.”

I can't get past this. She was so unbelievably unprofessional, but worse than that, her behavior was dangerous. When someone is in the midst of a possible cardiac event, you do all you can to remain calm and help reassure the patient. Being scared undoubtedly help elevate Crystals pulse and blood pressure. That woman is not just a liar, she's a liability for any hospital she works for because she actively put someone in danger.

🤣 thought it was just me. I find her influence on him odd. I figured maybe it’s cultural, but my brother would never leave his fiancé for years just because I said so. She takes a lot of his actions so personally, like he’s her husband not brother. Id like to let go of sad crap on reality tv. I don’t watch this trash for tears. It doesn’t make them more relatable because it’s always so contrived and performative. It felt like watching a theater class. ‘Ok Kyle you’re up’ cue tears and graveling voice, Pat at corners of the eye, Woe is Me! Woe the suffering! I get they’re real people with real emotions, but they don’t come off authentic at all.

Kyle “I just sign whatever. Mo handles everything!’ Shrug. Teehee. Not buying it. Someone’s trying to set up some plausible deniability….while working hard to get the storyline back on her marriage-that she doesn’t want to talk about 😉

Ericka is going about her apology needs the wrong way. She may be owed an apology for the ladies assuming she was as guilty as Tom, was in on it and hid his actions. But she was vile about keeping those earrings.

Kind of a snoozer last night, But, I did feel bad for Tammy. She seemed to really love Caleb. I’m surprised at how mature she’s been handling everything. What a change from previous seasons. Who knew she’d end up the voice of reason? Also had some sympathy for Amy. No one wants to lose their temper like that, and she’s obviously struggling mentally. But Until she gets herself chemically balanced, I fear for the boys. She doesn’t seem to have any patience for them at all, and she’s only at the starting line. The high energy boy shenanigans have only just begun.

i agree wth you all-Tammy just casually holding that baby while the boat bumped and jerked over waves-yikes!!

I love Diane Lane! I’m so glad to see her and many of the other actresses closer to my age🤣 for a change , getting big chunks of scenery to gnaw on. It’s so fun. I didn’t watch season 1, but checked this out because of Diane. And she’s the most believable in her role. A few of them, you can really see the Acting, but I’m still loving this cast.

Lisbon, Portugal. All of their options were nice, beautiful areas. I always wonder though, when one half of a couple says “I do all the cooking, so she/he do the laundry” does that mean they do all the cleaning up from their cooking, too? Because if the other is stuck with all the laundry, the kids, the pets all day, and all the dinner clean up-that’s kind of a bum deal (especially if the chef is a sloppy cook) Anyway, $3000 a month!? Yikes.

Annemarie didn't come to the rescue. She repeatedly scared Crystal by suggesting she was going to have a stroke. I couldn't believe Crystal hugged her afterwards, and everyone praised her actions. (Glad the board is back!)

Ironically, I always thought they looked cheap and flimsy. But these are rich women. What do they need to carry with them? Some credit cards, a lipgloss? They’re not hauling half their medicine cabinet or emergency stuff for their kids because they’re stuck at work all day.

Yes! I would've asked for the most haunted room and had a little seance. These women spend big money on psychics and aura readers, huge crystals and women who pull demons out of them, but run scared at a possibly haunted house? Weak. Missed opportunity, and such a beautiful place. I'd have loved to stay there, too.

“Crystal is at Annamarie’s mercy.” Annmarie “Wow! They are popping out! Holy crap!” there’s that medical professional training.
