    S03.E06: My Dearest Emile...

    in Below Deck

    Poor Emile - can we just fix him now?  

     

    I don't know if I like him, but on the other hand, I did feel badly for him.  He just can't seem to understand that after Rocky jumping into his bunk and spooning with him, and then, Rocky sending him all kinds of signals and overtly flirting with him, she just isn't interested.

     

    He doesn't see that she is a tease, and needs attention from all sides, and that she gets bored quickly.  

     

    He is looking pretty desperate there, and it's unflattering and embarrassing.  

     

    As Rocky said, he is young.  She should have known not to mess with someone young and impressionable.  IMO, she's a bitch who played him.

    I wouldn't say she is a bitch, but definitely a tease who sent him mixed signals.  

     

    Emile is not attractive to me; he is too "pretty."   I like a guy who looks more like a man.  (Plus, I'm waaayyyy older than him, but even as a young girl, I did not go for the "pretty" like Donnie Osmond was back then.  Too girlie.)    He does seem like he is used to having the girls flock to him, though.

    S02.E03: We Are All One-Sie

    in Ladies Of London [V]

    Caroline1 was so very very rude to Julie at their meeting, saying Julie had no brains. I was impressed that Julie maintained her composure. I think Julie cracked at the party due to alcohol and stress -- maybe feeling awkward her husband wasn't there, too.

    Then Caroline1's first comment to Juliet is something like "oh, are you expecting twins now?" because Juliet was wearing a loose dress. Who DOES that??? I would NOT want to hang around Caroline1 at all. She is mean, but pretends she is joking.

    The Annual Primetime Emmys - General Discussion

    in The Primetime Emmy Awards (Emmys)

    What I liked about Andy Samberg:  His humor can be silly and goofy.  (One of my favorite shorts on SNL was "Laser Cats!")   Last night, he did not seem fazed if a joke or a bit didn't go well -- he kept that same wide-eyed smile going.  Almost as if he was playing a joke on US, all in good fun and we'll just move along now!  lol  And, he was willing to take a risk on a sharp-edged joke or two.

     

    While I can admire Neal Patrick Harris, I felt like he believed too much of the press about his wonderfulness.

    S02.E02: The Barefoot Baroness

    in Ladies Of London [V]

    Or just say "the Chicago area."  Nobody cares, evidently, except those who actually live IN Chicago, and IMO it is their own snobbishness!  lol   And really, it depends  on the context.   In Illinois, it may make a difference.  Can't imagine folks in London would even know much about Illinois other than Chicago.  Heck, when I lived in California, some people there barely knew where Wisconsin was!  LOL

    "Yes!" to your entire post, scenicbyway!!!!

    I like Julie. I wish someone would help her dress, though. That red dress did not flatter her. She is very thin and it showed her ribs.

    Marissa's hair is not good in her THs -- very flat. I have fine hair like that and I just want to say "do something for volume, girl!" ;)

    Didn't really know what to make of the Juliet and Marissa "are we friends" conversation. It was very uncomfortable and awkward.

    The new Caroline??? Truly wacky or just for show??

    S02.E01: London Calling

    in Ladies Of London [V]

    Yes, it can come off as a bit disingenuous.  My sister lives in London and acts all kinds of sad and teary when we send photos of our family at Thanksgiving, 4th of July, etc.  It's super annoying.  We're not crying when she's sending us pictures of her in Scotland/France/Germany/Spain, even if we're jealous of her experiences.  I mean, shut up, you live in fucking London.

    Even when you live in a cool place, it can still be hard when you see all the family together celebrating the holidays. You miss the family and the shared experience.

    But I still think Juliet was OTT about the holiday and her BIRTHDAY!! Lol

    S10.E14: A Storm Is Coming

    in The Real Housewives Of Orange County

    I felt for Brianna, being so happy to go out for dinner. I am not familiar with military life, but wouldn't there be other youg wives/moms for her to socialize with on or near base?

    Having lived in OK for a few years, I was impressed that they had an underground shelter. We always headed for an interior bathtub, wondering if we should bring a mattress for cover!

    Have to confess, I was not watching closely tonight. Couldn't watch Tamra with the minister or the Dubrow's skin care segment. Cringed when the Beador's daughter said they wanted to make them a meal to help with their marriage -- those kids should not be this involved!!!! Ugh.

    If Juliet wanted a home Thanksgiving she could have cooked the whole damn thing for her family at her home! How's that for celebrating your birthday??? She exhausted me tonight. So self-centered. Enjoy the fact that you have a meal/ party to go to on your birthday.

    Sounds like Marissa has a tradition of hosting Thanksgiving and she already had made plans. She was accommodating Juliet with the cake, etc. Then Juliet had to drag in Caroline and somehow got Caroline to host the dinner???!!! Ack.

    So far I like Julie and Marissa the most.

    Is there another Caroline joining the show?

    S01.E07: What's In A Name?

    in I Am Cait [V]

    I was surprised at how directive Cait was in practically ordering Kris to "sit there!"

    I've seen her take charge in other situations in a way that (to me) indicates that she is used to being in charge or followed. It is an interesting sociological study in a way -- she was never raised in the "niceties" of being a woman. Not that all women are (or need to be) that way, but I definitely notice it in Cait.

    S14.E04: Fashion Flip

    in Project Runway

    Bright pink blazers, and driving pale pink Cadillacs....(not that there's anything wrong with that, LOL!!)

     

    Yes, that is my perception too!  lol

     

    I only started watching last week, so I don't know the names nor much of the backstory on anyone.  I liked all of the top 3.  Candace seems pretty stuck on herself and sure she would win, which annoyed me.  I really liked Swapnil's dress AND his attitude!!    I just did not want Candace to win because she was so sure of the win.
