Bad Example

I.e, "You people are the plague", one of the best quotes of the whole series.

I was sure that was going to be the eliminated design for that very reason. It's not just a plus-size style, that dress has been on the racks since the 80s. There's nothing new about it. Well, one of her boobs was.... sort of... it was also sort of pointing sideways. The other was in a different direction entirely. That top was just a boob mess. The idea was great. She was plus-sized, but only moderately plus-sized That, and proportion, helps the designers a lot when they're dressing the larger models. Especially for the Eyes of Nina. I wanted to like it. But the weird folded ragged lapel was a disaster.

Since we're all aired up, I'll mention the horse outside spoiler tags. I also found it touching. Carol wasn't unaffected. And it wasn't kill porn. I was shocked by something (for once, of late) then realized immediately that I shouldn't have been. Carol made the hard choice and the right choice. Priority one: Feed the kids. I liked the kids' conversations, too.

I spent this entire episode just shaking my head. "Are you people NEW?" Not only the military base. When has entering a dark space where they can't see the exit EVER worked out? Come to think of it, am *I* new? I actually had hope that this season might return us to the glory days. Oh, sometimes I am that sweet summer child....

I'm a little late, but how in the world is your head so far up your own butt that you believe that having a second dress for your reception is such a delightful amazing wonderful surprise treat for your GUESTS instead of something for YOU?

Well, for once I didn't hate a throuple. I usually feel like the main reason throuples on TV are in it is for the attention. "Look at us! We're so different and special and YES! THREE! Don't you want to disapprove and SPECULATE?" Loved the dress that looked like it had little leaves on it, found the other one kind of meh.

UGH. Kleinfeld, shenanigans are gross. We're not stupid. We don't need the prayers and the fake dramatics to be introduced to a new and talented black designer. Vaguely related: Did Stacey know beforehand she was marrying a leprechaun?

I could only think of OG Miss Alli, "This isn't The Amazing Top Montessori School".

I feel like it could work if everybody was honestly on the same page and no one is a self-involved, narcissistic douchey ass. Instead we see Sidian, Garrick, and Dimitri, poster boys for the Tool set.

Eh... I didn't think either of the final collections were all that original. Mark's table and couch screamed "You'll love it at Levitz!" circa 1982. I have seen those shapes a million times. And like was said, someone's going to kill themselves on Arielle's raw-edge table. Overall... I felt like Mark was somehow the Chosen One long before the end. Something fell apart nearly every week, his piece that was supposed to transition didn't even move, and some kid was going to get a concussion when the hammock on the swing-set collapsed. What was with that swing set, anyway? Yeah, it looked great. But it was just a swing set. It was pretty, but wasn't interesting.

I'm with Padma. Most celebrity guests remember that it's about food, not them. These two were all "Shtick! Shtick! Look at MEEEEE!"

For what it's worth, I have very, very low tolerance for anything spicy, and there is plenty of Thai food that is totally accessible! If you avoid spicy, seek out some Pad Thai to start with. And most places even do some curries that are flavorful without that killer heat. If you cook, look for a recipe for Tom Ka Gai soup, and go light on the curry paste. SO good!

Well, to throw my two cents in... I thought Garrick was wearing a long-line sports bra that would have to be Dannielle's. She doesn't get to keep her dignity, why would she get to keep her clothes? Every time Sidian (that Tool) says AlexOHNdra after the woman herself said AlexANdra made him seem even more pretentious and a bigger tool. I don't know how this is possible. Well, I guess it's possible in the same way that Jarod got dumber every time he opened his mouth. How low does this bar go, people? Isn't there a point where they can't get stupider, and they can't be more of a tool because they have reached rock bottom? And I am agreeing with the smart poster from a week or two ago who suggested that Kimberly's look is producer-driven. I felt like she seemed much more put-together over Zoom or whatever they used earlier. And then they had her play up what a country bumpkin she is, as if there isn't Thai food in NC. Are we to believe she has never left her home in the mountains that don't exist?

There would have been good value in what was surely deeply intellectual conversation between Obsidian and Alexandra about his idea of "physics". And was she in front of a fake background when they all talked? Everything about her says "I'm here for the exposure". I feel like in his head Dmitri follows every sentence with "(and/but/because) I'm so awesome". Jarrod: "You saw pictures..." New Woman Emily: "Oh, crap, I thought that was your daughter."

First- envious! Second, does Discovery+ have all of this season available?

@candall said on another section... And I just wanted to 100% co-sign. Definitely not Roberta's idea, and DAMN Dannielle, do you think that everything Ick does is because of you, and therefore Roberta also controls him, absolving him of all responsibility? Maybe I should take that back. I bet Dannielle does think that Ick came to all of this because of something lacking in her. I've said it before, everyone else on this show is on a spectrum that goes from "roll-my-eyes" to "total hate", but Dannielle kind of breaks my heart.

And it's nice that God only wants this new woman as a third wife if it turns out Colton is actually attracted to her. God speaks through Colton's penis.

Glad Kaleh cut ties and didn't look back. Plus... that her soft-focus, somber-music picture retrospective was styled like she had died? GOLD.

Me (not having paid all that much attention): "Why didn't Alicia leave with everyone else?" Mr Bad Example: "Because this show does stupid things." ...aaaaand I think that about sums it up.

I've got a lot of "huh". As for the party, I found it strange and it fed into the thought that kept occurring to me throughout the episode: Is this for real, or is this June's fever dream? A lot of this was just so, well, "huh, um, okay?" and off that I never fully bought into it as reality. And seriously.... June staggers up to the farm, a stranger says nothing more than something along the lines of "I thought there were more of you" and that's enough to make June decide that yes, obviously everything is fine and dandy, I'll let everyone know it's safe!

Such a pretty young girl! The cheese just oozes off him and I want to tell her to go take a shower and STAY AWAY.

Oh, I do love me some Lucifer. As for Jonestown... I did enjoy the pandemic being presented as significant ONLY because it got in the way of them finding new women to date.

Exactly. I think a lot of us are also rolling our eyes because that idiot seems to think that BECAUSE Roberta is Brazilian she must be so ultra hot. You know, with her string bikini and all which is what everyone in Brazil wears. (As an aside, I don't think that either woman was wearing a bathing suit that actually fit properly.) And I'm still not convinced of Roberta's insincerity. I'm probably a naive chump.

And this is exactly why there will never be two additional "wives". I don't think it occurred to Ashley until that moment that other wives could gang up on her instead of happily living under ASHLEY RULES while they genuflect. I don't think Dannielle KNOWS she can be saved and that there's a way out of this. I don't think it feels that way to her.

I absolutely hate when they call a dish "dated". It either tastes good or it doesn't! I also don't like the "I don't know who I am as a chef" spiral. Maybe the flavor of the week just isn't a flavor profile you enjoy and THAT isn't who you are a chef? And I kind of get the Campbell's soup hate.... but on the other hand by total coincidence I was eating the mushroom stroganoff I'd just made with cream of mushroom soup (& mushrooms & greek yogurt & ground beef over egg noodles) while I watched this, and it was freakin' delicious and major comfort food. I really wanted to eat that panzanella salad Chris made.
