Keep in mind that we only see this in Alison's POV and in her POV she's always victimized and men are always predatory.

So Dar Adal and Saul Berenson were running security for the peace summit? Am I misremembering that in less than a year the SoS has been in close proximity of at least 2 explosions, there's been 2 incidents where POTUS could potentially be incapacitated, and there was a hostage situation or something like that at the capitol?

My friends and I used to have a joke that DJ stands for dumb jerk because we knew a bunch of people that were calling themselves DJs and I was like "what does the DJ stand for in this case, definitely not disc jockey?" James is proving us right.

What did he expect though? If Scheana and Shay are having problems, how is any marriage supposed to work.

There are zero beemer selfies. I'm disappointed.

Peter wants to direct or produce or maybe both. At least from what I could hear. I just now remembered that he was talking about how a lot of famous people are fans of VPR and he name dropped Jennifer Lawrence and seemed a little bummed that he wasn't working when she came in to SUR. I think his point was a lot of people know them from the show now and they are kind of famous, so maybe that will help with their careers. He also talked about how he knew talented people that were not celebrities and celebrities that were not talented, but then my waitress came over and I missed the rest.

I wasn't sitting right next to them, my table was across the aisle so I was a good 8 feet away from Peter and the patio was kind of loud, so not ideal eaves dropping conditions, but from what I could hear it was pretty boring. Something about season 5, something about season 3 ratings being great, and something about someone "dropping a grand out of pocket" to send Peter, FI, and Ariana somewhere for a weekend. Then he mostly talked about various projects he was working on with his partner and some indie flick he was trying to get financed. It was fairly boring crap you overhear anywhere in LA. He did mention someone being really annoying. I didn't catch who, but it was during the vpr part of his conversation, so I'd like to think it was James. I seriously never recognize anyone, especially without context. Like I get confused watching movies because I can't keep the characters straight from scene to scene half the time. I barely recognize family memebers. I am the worst. My only known sightings are when other people point it out to me or there's a ton of paparazzi. The only other person I have ever recognized out and about on my own is Dana/Pam from RHOB and it took me a good half hour to realize she wasn't someone I knew from work. ETA: I have seen lots of famous people not in the wild (usually for work), but since I know who they are going into it, I don't think it counts as a sighting.

I had to take my dogs to Beverly Hills to get their teeth cleaned and I'm sitting at a table waiting for my lunch and I hear someone say "for me Vanderpump Rules is just a stepping stone." So of course I looked over and it is Peter. I can't tell if he grew his ponytail back or not as his hair is pulled back tight. I never recognize people when I'm out and about and have been sitting here for about 15 minutes and wouldn't have noticed had he not said vpr. I'm totally eaves dropping now.

So does my dog. I have to fast forward whenever this is on or she goes ape shit. It's right up there with other animals and babies on the list of things she doesn't like to see/hear on TV.

If that is her, she should have made the most of being on VPR by actually mentioning her organization. She seems to be coming from a good place. I really think the dinner was more of a get to meet the VPR cast event and they just couldn't break the 4th wall and say that. The teens/young adults seemed to really enjoy it, so good on her for making it happen. The typo on the landing page pop-up made me giggle though.

The kids might have been getting services from Covenant house, but I don't think Ariel and the SUR field trip were a part of that. When Ken asked her what program she did her volunteer work through she just said she paid for it all on her own and didn't mention any program names.

From the context, that seemed like a joke to me.

I was pretty dubious about the dinner at Sur for homeless kids. It seemed even more sketchy once I saw Ariel and heard she wasn't with a real charity and was just someone that contacted Lisa on Facebook-- I swear she looked directly at the camera at one point, so I just assumed it was a ploy to get on TV. The dinner actually seemed fairly nice and I think the way the cast was all there and introduced maybe the real reason for a dinner at SUR is all the kids wanted to meet the cast, but they couldn't just come out and say that on the show? The fight between Jax and James was hilarious. It seemed to me that Jax is actually pissed off that DJ Muppet's antics are taking over the show. I think he almost broke the 4th wall and said as much with the "It just irks me, everything is revolving around him." I did enjoy the muppet calling Jax steroid face. Jax's crazy forehead wound looks super swollen. I wonder what is going on. DJ Muppet is kinda nuts and not in a delightful Kristin way. Andy was for real totally super angry at him and Lala on WWHL. I don't feel like that fight would last very long. James doesn't strike me as a scrapper. On the after show Jax was acting like he was ready to rip off a chunky sweater and fight DJ Muppet. I was feeling pretty bad about my cocker spaniels' haircuts (or lack thereof, they're holding out a week so they can look fresh and pretty for Xmas) until I saw Lisa's on the after show. That dog needed its face shaved down so it could see. She should probably just have a groomer on staff given how many dogs she has. Or I'm sure FI Tom was once an expert dog groomer to the stars when he wasn't busy making omelettes and scrambles. Anyway, mine are miserable if their faces even get close to that long and I have clippers at home specifically to touch up their faces between trips to the groomer. Molly is usually a happy drug though and he's a complete asshole. I think he is probably taking some other kind of stimulant though.

I like this show, but it gave me a headache from being so angry. They were doing such a shit job of keeping track of Allison. Her babysitter was the worst. I'm not even a spy and it was obvious the "parking ticket" was a communication and then he not only let her spend forever in the bathroom (which, why the cloak and dagger thumbdrive BS if you're just going to have someone talk to her in person in the bathroom anyway?), but he stupidly handed his gun over to her. I was at first bitter about the forensic issues at the crime scene, but figured she was planning on absconding and didn't care. I thought the doctor was going to kill her, I didn't think she was going to escape, but anyway, why the hell were there not any guards posted on her room (maybe some better than the one she shot in the head)? And the cherry on top of this steaming crock of shit is they buy Allison's intel hook line and sinker and just dismiss a lead from Carrie -- someone who has proven herself to be pretty damn good at unraveling terror plots. Saul and Dar are super shitty spies. I just can't even with the stupid smug reporter. My blood pressure is already too high without going on a rant about her. It isn't even that I disagree with her. I just hate her.

I argue that Kristin actually is the show and all the others are hanging around her to be on it.

I haven't even seen the first look yet, but in what world is taking a bunch of underprivileged kids to a bar staffed by coked up degenerates and maybe-escorts a good idea? Is Lala going to start up a sugar baby/escort mentorship program? I guess FI Tom could teach the kids to make a mean scramble and there's always the Tom Sandoval School of Modeling and Schwartz could be a TA. Ariana could teach them the ways of reason and logic. Jax should never be around children, so I hope it's his day off. We used to have underprivileged kids come to my old office and follow us around, but I worked at a division of children's cable television network, not a fucking bar. None of us were high or drunk and there was no bathroom sex, but it was still kind of dicey because we had to not cuss and set a good example and make it look like we were actually adults with real jobs. Maybe when I actually see the show this will all make sense, but until then, it is making my brain hurt trying to figure out how this would get a green light from anyone with a functioning brain. As an aside, I've literally been going to bars since I was born. My grandma used to own a topless bar and after that she was bar manager at a local dive bar. It was such not a big deal for me that when I was in highschool if she was working days I'd take her lunch at the bar and eat there with her. So I have nothing against bars. I just don't think it's a suitable venue for this sort of field trip.

I have an Aunt LoLo and an Aunt LuLu and I call my niece MaMa, so the name LaLa shouldn't bother me at all, but I'm annoyed by how stupid it is every single time I hear it.

I fanwanked that DJ Muppet told Max and Max told Ken.

He was the same way on RHOBH when he was Pandora's wedding planner and I think he was the inspiration for the wedding planner in the movie Father of the Bride, so I'm guessing it's an always thing. He's full of shit. Most people in LA manage to never wear those weird low cut giant arm hole tank tops that he wears except maybe as a bathingsuit cover-up. The tank top he arrived in was skimpier than his uniform one. I think Pride weekend was actually unseasonably cold and only in the low 70s. We had weird weather this year. He totally could have kept the blazer on, but he was probably getting all hot and sweaty from whatever uppers he was taking. Also, as an aside, I think making your restaurant staff wear tank tops is gross. No one wants to see a bunch of uncovered armpits at an eating establishment. For reals. My vagina hurts thinking about it. I live about 4 miles away and can't be assed to go there. I'm sure parking would be a pain in my ass and it isn't worth the cost of an Uber. I would go if I was over there anyway and it was within walking distance. I'll do anything if I already have a parking spot. I'm old and crabby.

It's all the way across the city in Silverlake (so like 10 miles). If traffic was good you could probably make the drive in 20-30 minutes, but giving yourself 45 minutes to an hour would be safer.

I'm like the Zagat of places in LA that were cool 10-15 years ago.

Shay's talking head made me incredibly sad. Am I naive in thinking that in a good marriage one partner's problems shouldn't be ammo for the other to hold over their head?

He demonstrated on the aftershow. He pulls out and shifts around really quick. I find the bragging about how many hours they went even more implausible.

6 is really early. I mean, I don't doubt SUR sucks and would be empty later, but I wouldn't expect to see a lot of places in LA packed at 6pm on a Thursday -- except the freeways, that shit is going to be a parking lot.

To me The Red Lion isn't really a dive, so I disagree with Rachel. It's an awesome German joint that's been around forever. They are a restaurant and have a full food menu and there's a dining room with tables and a couple bars and there's a rooftop biergarten (where Kristin and Rachel were). They have little lockers and you can buy your own bottle and keep it in the little locker, which is great if you go there a lot, because it is a lot cheaper. I used to go there all the time when I was younger and we'd always get their killer sausage platter and shot boards -- kind of like a shotski but the glasses are not attached and I think there's 8 or 10 shots. I haven't been there in at least 5 years because it's always too crowded anymore and I'm too old and crabby to deal with parking and crowds.
