Maybe it is better in the long run for Meri to be seen as getting the short end of the stick with the land situation because it means that people will take pity and try and support her/buy more clothes?? I guess WorthyUp hasn't yielded too much in sympathy gains though.

Thanks for that recap! Fell asleep again during commercials. I had a strong sense that smoking (I didn't figure vaping though) was going to be Tammy's secret jeopardizing the skin removal surgery. I am embarrassed to admit it was Angela's frequent surgeries (of 90 Day fame) that clued me in to this. She could never give up her smokes. Hope Tammy does, but it is possible that it is an addictive crutch she feels she needs. She will have extensive wound healing to deal with for next several years in the various round of removal process. Maybe it is the holiday season talking but I really wish her fortitude to accomplish this.

I would do a riff off of surfgirl: Kody Brown: Love Should Be Multiplied, Then Ignored Denied

It is getting a lot of attention so should enjoy a place in this collection. Hope from season 6:

There was one part of this episode where I got the feeling that Todd was not invited to the surprise baby welcoming party. He is in the background and it looks like he comes down stairs or around a corner and his face is a little surprised like "what the heck is going on?" But then later he is in the middle of the one couch and doing games or whatever. I wonder if they were originally going to spin a storyline that Whitney didn't invite Todd to the party when he lives in the attic. And then decided not to do that. It's like something they leave in a movie by accident because the "take" for another character was the best one and hope people don't notice the background person. Or I could just be making this all up of course as I am unwilling to suffer through the episode a second time to confirm...

D-uh! OMG - you are right -- my brain was thinking that they had different moms and so must be cousins (not trying to invalidate other step and half family associations either). I have watched too much of The Learning Channel and now I am dumb. Hee hee.

But they're cousins (identical cousins - you're welcome for the earworm if you know it)

I am actually really looking forward to the efforts of the regular contributors to put nice sounding spins on these people/situations. Bless their hearts!! I guess it is a case where the "/s" is silent.

Same - KWCK - same. So intrigued by this description "Mother by day and exotic dancer by night, Ayonna and her beau, Jamahl, have been friends for years, but Jamahl was always off limits because of his relationship with her best friend." Her "beau." Isn't that cute?!

Two more weeks - April 19, 2024. Love During Lockup iteration- cast details here: https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/LOVE-AFTER-LOCKUP-to-Return-to-WE-tv-in-April-20240315

Per the video above - "...candles and scents and the sky's the limit!" Embellishments? So they are bedazzling t-shirts and bustiers? This whole thing seems like a front for trying to pass themselves off as entrepreneurs or having jobs. Are their life styles still funded by their father? Or do they really rake anything in from influencing? The mind wobbles.....

It is a Marvel Superheroes type of poster -- I can kind of make out the Hulk and Captain America among others. I agree - not sure how it relates to Valentine's decoration but maybe it is always up there and/or one of them is a fan?

This reaction to her post got me thinking of where they stole the title from - "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the fact that I didn't really see that character as fat as much as "plain". Yes she was heavier than average but would I say "fat" - not sure. I mostly thought of the title as what I think Nia Vardalos meant - as a spectacle. And for Whitney, it was both to me - she thought of her life as a grand kooky spectacle but also as a body positivity warrior-woman. SO I came across this article about Nia Vardalos reacting to both her first movie and people commenting recently about her more recent sequel MBFGW3 - it is interesting - and she also is bored with constantly being asked about her weight since she lost 40 pounds (you will find the pressure about her weight loss was blood sugar and health) - https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-body/news/nia-vardalos-opens-up-about-pressure-to-lose-40-pounds-2009126/ Whitney is a special pain in the ass. But I do understand why she may be making the comments that she is.

I have an odd issue that I like to follow generally what is going on with the trainwreck reality programs but they are so full of rehashed stuff that I fall asleep during them repeatedly. I didn't notice this season that they dealt with the separation/break up between Caleb and Tammy. Did TLC gloss over this and her attempting other relationships? I far as I could follow, they just showed her visiting a time or two and being sadly frustrated with his lack of progress but still seeming like she was waiting for him to join her in Kentucky then it jumped to his death. Did I miss something?
