Leeza does know that Universal's "competitor" in Orlando is Disney and their park, The "Magic" Kingdom, right?

I happened to catch the episode during the RV trip where Tre and Jac are talking and Tre insists she isn't going to jail. Oops.

Well, damn. I didn't expect that. I have to admit, my opinion of Johnny is lowered by his "friendship" with Brandi. I know she has been on good behavior (for the most part), but she is not a nice person. I'm surprised Trump didn't keep her around since he has a penchant for tall blondes.

"That's my jingle. But it isn't." Ian was trying to dazzle with BS and it backfired.

I guess that's possible. Vivica and Kenya are both nasty people. I wouldn't put it past either of them.

Kenya's idea was awful. They were sunk before they even started.

I must be in the minority because I wasn't overly moved by the ending. To me, it seemed pretty predictable -- just read the "How will Parenthood end?" thread see how many story lines actually came true. Poor Haddie, still the redheaded stepchild. I'm surprised they even bothered to bring her back, let alone give her a scene with actual lines! I'm glad Zeke's death was more quiet and peaceful rather than a big production in a hospital with people fawning and weeping over him. Hated Sarah's dress (and the gloves!!), but I have to admit it was nicer than the dress LG was supposed to wear when Lorelai was going to marry Luke on Gilmore Girls (that dress was hideous). Adios Bravermans. You all got the happy endings we expected because after all, you are Bravermans and everything magically works out for you!

If Kenya was such an expert in world-class luxury, she should have been the project manager.

As much as this show has annoyed me over the years (and you've all touched on the points that make this show, at times, ridiculous), I have to say that the scenes with Sarah and Zeke, and then Sarah with Hank (talking about getting married right away so Zeke would be there) really got to me. I lost my dad when I was 15, and when I got married that was the one thing that was "missing." So I could totally identify with her feelings. I haven't liked the character of Sarah for the majority of the show (although I'm a fan of Lauren Graham), but in this episode I did.

Jeez, George is like the cat with nine lives. Are they ever going to permanently eliminate him? That being said, go Dougie!!

Looks like Teresa had some visitors... http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/teresa-giudice-gets-first-prison-visit-from-joe-daughters-details-2015191

There are just some things, once seen, which cannot be scrubbed from the brain.

She has the potential of reducing her sentence by 58 days for good behavior. She hasn't earned it yet. http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2015/01/teresa_giudice_early_release_from_federal_prison_standard_for_good_behavior.html

Teresa is going to have trouble with this part:

That is what I was wondering as well. As it happened, I thought that a quick exit to this show would be if a contestant showed disrespect to the client(s). I would imagine that is a HUGE no-no. While they were in the BR, I was waiting for Ian or Kevin to mention how rude/disruptive Geraldo was during the client meeting. It is very possible they did mention it, but the editing monkeys removed it. But if Trump knew about it, how could he not fire Geraldo? Oh wait, this is Trump we are talking about.

Geraldo is such an a-hole. Whether he is doing it on purpose or that is really how he is, I can't imagine how difficult he is to work with or be around. I just want to reach through the tv and smack him, and I'm not a violent person.

Now that the press has gotten the obligatory photos of Joe taking the girls to school, I hope they leave the girls alone.

That's what I thought as well. She seemed to be very careful with her choice of words. Just because they were on a show together 25 years ago, it doesn't mean that they are necessarily still friendly.

He didn't waste any time getting the RHONJ logo on his site, did he? And I have to laugh at the one notation on the site: "Payment plans available." Good luck getting any money from Teresa and Joe.

Interesting, according to that article, her reporting time was 3 am. I'm kind of surprised she didn't go in kicking and screaming. She is finally confronted with the harsh reality of the consequences of her (and Joe's) actions.

So it sounds like Caroline and Dina are starting to try and repair their relationship. Caroline posted a bunch of photos of the family (including Lexi) at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree on Twitter last night (although Dina and Jacqueline were not there). Caroline retweeted something Dina posted earlier: So... could this be a setup for season 7 with both Dina and Caroline?

Probably because she is afraid to be away from her "King" for any length of time. He may trade her in for a newer, younger version.

I think it is a budgetary issue. My understanding is that the main actors were limited to the number of episodes they could appear in this season (in an effort to save $$), so in order to fill that gap, they are using the actors who portray Hank, Ruby and Sandy (who command lower salaries) more. It seems ridiculous to focus so much of the final season on "minor" characters. I enjoyed the show early on, but as each season has gone by, I dislike the Bravermans more and more. And I think I hate Adam and Kristina the most.

Wasn't really interested in the show last season (couldn't stand Carlton), but I am interested in seeing Eileen Davidson. I've watched Y&R for decades, so I'm curious to find more about her life away from the show. Lisa Rinna? Eh. I'm over Kyle and Lisa. Don't need to see Taylor or Adrienne either.
