Seeing the episode thread makes me realize the date is soon approaching!! Can't wait - love this show soooo much. I have missed these characters in the past year.

Utterly hilarious. I've never seen that expression used before - but what a statement it makes!!! Thank you so much for the comedic gift.

Dale Gribble ... absolutely hilarious! Thank you!

How many different condescending labels is Jessica going to use on the candidates as she greets them this season? In this one episode alone, I heard her use 3 demeaning terms when greeting them. Shucks, I deleted my episode already and I can only remember 2 of the 3 that she used. One was "come closer CHILDREN", another one was "hello my little PETS" and the other one was just as disparaging for a group of adult candidates to hear. Perhaps Jessica was just cutting to the chase, because I am seeing some of them acting like children already? Even if that were the case, I think it is very unprofessional, and actually quite rude for someone who promotes herself as a polished executive. Likewise, I also thought it was very unprofessional of Stephanie to comment to DVF about it being a personal smack when DVF did not like Ally from the Valley's board. WTH? I never would say anything like that to my direct manager, especially in front of others, especially lower ranked staff. Uggh, just reliving this as I type makes me wonder why I am even watching this train wreck for another season?

Oh my gawd, good thing I was not drinking milk as I read this, because you know what would have happened to it as I was reading this. (insert nose joke here!!). Tamara: When someone as uncouth and hysterically screechy as Vickie points out to you that you need to calm down because you are acting like a loon, then you should know you have a problem. But does Tamra get that signal? Noooooooo, how dare her "Christian honor" be smeared and questioned because of all the stirring she has done, and continues to do while she smirks away watching it all unfold. Oh my goodness, get a grip. I, for once, totally agree with Brooks, "consider the source", that's nicer than I would have said!!

I am standing and applauding you wildly. I could not agree with you more on all your thoughts above. THANK YOU !!!!

You are not alone, I LOVED it - and thought it would easily be in the top three, and perhaps the front runner. Perhaps in person it came across much worse. God only knows what Zac saw once he lifted the top when he took a peek!!

The whole screech from Melissa, calling the girls over and telling them they were "FINALLY" gonna be in a wedding - I was like - wow - way outta line, Melissa. But then again, maybe "wow-way outta line" should be her new middle name! I am hoping beyond hope in the past when Kira was maybe talking with the Moms about a possible marriage, she mentioned she would like all the girls present, and that's where Melissa got that from, but then again, I am giving Melissa way too much credit! Didn't Melissa get married recently - so not sure why she said you're FINALLY going to be in a wedding? That would have been the perfect opportunity to have the girls in a wedding (although it was mostly different girls, such as Chloe, Paige, Brooke). I really do not like most of the characters involved in this show - but Melissa actually brings out such ANGER and RAGE from within me. I think of it as a cleansing therapy session for my emotions! ARRGGHHHH.

I totally agree with your entire post, especially the out of control drama-induced teenage fans. It's borderline same level as "bloods vs. crips" in teenage dance packaging!

Wow - Chloe seems so much older and mature. She's always been a mature girl in personality and temperament, but I am really seeing her as a young woman now. I thought her speech was great, gave props and then chop!!

Thanks so much for the info! I am going through August start-up withdrawals, but at least knowing a start date has been determined and is in a couple of months, I think I'll be okay!!

So glad someone else noticed this and pointed it out. It stung a little when I heard it. Melissa simply does not get it. The way she speaks about Maddie vs. Mackenzie is so different. When it is brought to her attention by the other Moms, in a helpful way, she shrugs and gets all defensive. I do not get it or her at all. Perhaps I should be thankful for that; it means we think, react and behave as polar opposites.

What the heck was that episode last night? What a laugh. I personally enjoyed the choreography and subject of the BDA dance much better than the ALDC's dance. They are more synchronized, and it really represents a "united group" dance so much better than when Abby has all her dancers doing something different (based on each of their skill sets) independently. It comes across as a 6 ring circus - you cannot watch one dancer without thinking you're missing something from another dancer. Can we be done with the stupid faked revenge tactic now? Enough already. What a message Jeannette is giving to Ava and her students: let's hold onto hostility about someone for years and years and not let and go and move forward. It the results were staged, and Abby and Melissa and others were all instructed to act disgusted, I think some of them may have been truly acting, but not Melissa. I am a proud Mother of two teen dancers. I love and support them, but know their weaknesses as well as their strengths. I know they are not going to win each and every time. Melissa lives with a warped view of her children, especially Maddie. It's very unhealthy to say the least. And what was going on with Abby heckling the judges and announcer? Oh my gawd - for real? What disgusts me the most is that I am helping to steer this train wreck by watching it and helping their ratings. I think I am DONE, I hope I am DONE, please let me be DONE!! ETA: Corrected grammar!

Oh my gawd - you are too hilarious! I'd pay some venue to host that pair together. Now, I would not buy one product from either of them, but I would def pay an entrance fee.

I am standing and applauding you for your entire post. Well captured and stated. I could not agree with you more! THANK YOU.

Oh my gawd - this is one of the funniest comments I have ever read!!! THANK YOU!!!

Oh, how I would love that! The snoring is not cute - like she thinks. Why do they all put up with her low rent habits? If it's so boring, go home, and then you will be on my screen less and less - which is better and better for me. Let's have both Lauri and Slade make a surprise visit with a big Gatorade bucket, all ready for dumping - that will make it even sweeter for the OG of the OC!!

How are you able to read my thoughts? You said exactly what I've been feeling for soooo long. Vicki is the epitome of a trashy shrew.

I was aghast when I saw the sneak peek of Meghan saying to Shannon that Shannon has "judgmental eyes". I thought, really, are you going to stir it up, AGAIN? What a "hostess with the mostess". Can't wait to see it all in its entirety.

I am thinking one of the reasons why the other group may have lost (if it was not due to producer manipulation) is because the judges were not privy to the whole backstory as we were, so they may perhaps saw it in a less emotional way than the TV viewers?? But of course, it was probably staged this way, and that's the only reason!!!

Her brother reminds me a little of Scott Eastwood. You are cracking me up about her bike's history - SPOT ON! That's too funny - what the heck was up with that post??

I so feel the same way. My Mom is up there in years and has a health condition that puts her in even more of a precarious situation. I often think of what it will be like to lose her. My Dad's already passed, he passed in 2006. I think the hardest for me will be my morning commute. That's when I always call her and we both start our day with a simple "how are ya" kind of call for 10 mins or so. I will miss those moments the most. Gawd, my eyes are already filling up with tears as I type this. DAMN you Bravo and Cohen for doing this to us all. We watch these stupid shows for silly entertainment, not for the invasive morbid-ness of last night's show.

What I remember from this was Jeana Keough, who is a neighbor to Vicki, telling Vicki that Brooksie (how she referred to him), had called her to say how nice it was that they were right down the road in case he needed anything. Not an exact quote of course, but that was the jest of it. I am guessing they are not allowed phone calls while filming, but Brianna as most likely trying to reach Vicki and had to leave a message with production to have Vicki call her.

I haven't read all the posts yet, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. Jeana looked GREAT last night. I really see a strong resemblance to her daughter, especially since they both have a similar hairstyle that focuses on the bangs. I just could not get over the striking similarities. Way to ROCK middle-age Jeana Keough!

Does anyone have any info on when Season 3 will premiere? I am interested in the US premiere date, because that's where I live, but any info at all is appreciated. I subscribe to their FB and Twitter sites, but have not seen any dates offered yet. Thanks in advance for any and all info.
