She nailed that part.

I'm sad for Jennifer Tilly if she has nothing better going on in her life than listening to Sutton blather on about her interactions with Kyle. These peoples' lives seem so small. I miss the days of Adrienne Maloof and Lisa Vanderpump and anyone else who had meaningful pursuits beyond this show. And a show note to all actors in the Real Housewives universe: the plural of text is not texas. Or tex-tes. Or whatever other mangling of the word you use. Just add an s. That's it. Just an s.

Agree! That scene was so disturbing. He was intentionally trying to manipulate Meri, deliberately inflicting injury and trying to strip her of her dignity. He's such a despicable creep. I hope she never gives him the chance to speak to her again. Of the three women who left the relationship, I think she was the one most hurt. For her own emotional health, she would do well to box him out of her life completely. And notice that his loyal Queen Robyn isn't on hand for this little powwow to witness just how low he'll go to absolve himself of any responsibility for their failed relationship. He is loathsome. And speaking of Robyn, where was she this week? Perhaps she's taken to bed to recover from enduring The not-Perfect Christmas. I'm going to guess that Robyn doesn't tune into the news very often. Otherwise, her tragic Christmas in her big warm house surrounded by family and gifts and gaudy decor might have seemed pretty darned perfect. Why, oh why, do we watch this drivel?

Maybe it refers to David (boyfriend, not King), from Christine's perspective? Or maybe, like in the Psalm from which the text is taken, it refers to God? Or maybe some writer just liked the way it sounded.🤷‍♀️

Ari got into Robyn's Sharpies? You know, the ones she uses for her eyebrows. There are probably a lot of unused yellows.

That is an astute observation of the trajectory of that blow-up. Heather is pretentious and full of herself, but I find Emily tiresome to the extreme.

It would be a great side hustle to supplement a regular source of income from a permanent full-time job with health benefits. As a self-employed individual, he'd pay approximately 15% of his income in FICA and 5% in state tax. So at the median hourly rate of $60, he'd clear $48. Deduct from that any time required for commuting, for class preparation, for soliciting clients, for childcare if needed, cost of gas, wear and tear on a vehicle, etc., etc. Unless Mykelti is pulling down some serious cash that covers their major expenses, including health insurance, it's a risky approach for providing for a young family. One serious medical issue among the five of them could be financially devastating.

LOL! You mean her king? When Alexis was on the show several season back, I actually felt bad for her. Was she a few sandwiches short of a picnic in the brains department? Yes. Was her faux-Christianity off-putting? Without a doubt. Did she exhibit poor judgment in choosing a life partner? Barf! Too obvious to answer. But she seemed relatively harmless. I figured she was a victim of an upbringing that stifled her emotionally and intellectually, and as an adult, she chose a man who reinforced and perpetuated the same. On the show, Heather was very unkind to her and Tamara was downright sadistic. The cruelty and bullying were truly repulsive and frankly, because Alexis seems a bit dim, exploitive on the part of the producers to allow it to go as far as it did. But now, my goodness, what a nasty piece of work she has shown herself to be. To display unbridled joy at the prospect of destroying someone's reputation. To be positively giddy over intentionally causing someone extreme humiliation - someone who has never done anything to her. She's giving Tamara competition in the Ugly. You reap what you sow, girl.

Agree! Do you think she's going for a geriatric Playboy bunny look?

What is that weird looking thing, a halter top? It looks as though she put her dress on backwards. I'm completely distracted by trying to figure it out during her tawhking heads.

After the advent of stemless wine glasses, my pup struggled, too. And since she fancies a robust Merlot, the spills were brutal on the upholstery. I finally smartened up and went back to stemware. Through a combination of her stubborn determination and her dewclaw, she does quite well.

I found parts of this episode particularly disturbing, specifically regarding the two Da(n)nielles. Watching double-n Dannielle's charade that she's an enthusiastic participant in this pretense is like watching someone kiss the hand of her abuser. It's sick. Single-n Danielle is of even more concern. I think it was in the previews where the Nick cohort is in a hot tub with the newest victim, and Danielle looks so upset, trying so hard to stifle her feelings. I truly believe this girl needs an intervention. Isn't there someone in her life who sees what's going on? She's very young and very inexperienced, and the Nicks know it, and are completely taking advantage of it. I feel that it needs to be stopped by someone, and if nobody else comes to her rescue, then the producers. She may be of legal age, but she clearly lacks the maturity and confidence to advocate for herself.

I ask this in all seriousness: does anyone think that Gar-yuck and Danielle are putting us on? Maybe playing along with the polygamist ruse just to get on a TV show? I hope so, for Danielle's sake. If not, could her self esteem really be that low? Could she really be that stupid? When Gar-yuck was spewing that self-serving nonsense about the true nature of the Holy Spirit, her facial expressions ran the gamut, none of them indicating affirmation of anything he blathered. I couldn't help but notice that Gar-yuck is working on a spare tire around his waistline. Maybe all that pent-up Holy Spirit is giving him bloat.

Check it out when the camera cuts to Janelle. She looks like she's trying not to blow. Kind of like this: 😡

Coming on to confess that I listened to the entire podcast and was shocked by the level of Zach's apparent introspection, intelligence, awareness and restraint, and his ability to communicate effectively. Prior to listening to this I had a very different opinion of him and his maturity. I was surprised and impressed. With a little help with his elocution (either he has difficulty pronouncing certain sounds or he doesn't realize he's mispronouncing them), I believe he could parlay his podcasting career to reach beyond the LPBW fan sphere. Tori did well, too, primarily in the role of interviewer, but she frequently interrupted him. Tori, allow the man to finish his sentences. He was doing just fine without your interference. In answer to the poster who asked for the Readers Digest abridged version of the interview, they've chosen not to involve their children further in consideration of the kids' lack of agency in making decisions about participation in filming, and due to their desire as a couple to move on to a new, more independent chapter in their lives, additionally saying that they feel that some distance will be beneficial to intra-familial relations. I didn't perceive any recrimination or bitterness at all, in fact, Zach acknowledged how being on the show enriched his growing up years and provided him with opportunities he would have otherwise never had.
