And all three were head shots where no one had the instinct to duck. That kind of thing and the hints that Malvo is supernatural are minuses for me. I just like a little more realism. What I do like is Molly. Everything about her rings true for a nice, intelligent person. Her straight forward romance with Gus, her relationship with her father and step-daughter, her dumb boss who doesn't respect her -- that's someone I can really root for. I also think Molly is very pretty and would be even more so in color. I'm really tired of the washed out film that all the self-important directors are using now.

I remember Deborah well. Going on and on about how much she loves her children, how they are everything to her, how she lives in a state of constant panic at the thought of them being taken away from her, she would do anything in the world for her children -- except clean up the house. Her excuses were completely lame, too. Her mother hadn't forced her to do housework and she had wanted to spend "every minute" with her baby. Like babies don't sleep about 18 hours a day. That poor little sad boy shouldn't have even known that his father tried to kill himself, much less been made to feel responsible for keeping him from doing it again. Those two adults really had to be two of the most self-centered, childish parents, ever. Jim? I don't even know. So sensitive he can't talk about his uncle helping them out financially without a huge cry face coming on, but he has a house full of guns. He dearly loves his granddaughter, but fills her room with odds and ends so that she can't come over. Something weird there. What am I saying? This is Hoarders. I feel ripped off and lied to when I only get three minutes of "Where they are now." On the other hand, I loved seeing the classic shot of the cat with the jar of pickles. That should be the Hoarder's logo.

I loved the update, too. some of the family members; Constance's sister, Ruth's entire family, Augustine's Susan -- are so inspiring to me. Talk about unconditional love!

I thought Dylan's story was too heavy for The B'Ette, but then I wouldn't be surprised if it's that story that got him selected for the show, with a clear understanding that he would "open up" about it at the first opportunity. I don't think stories like Ashlee's adoption and Emily's dark and stormy morning are disclosed on the show by accident. I think the reason for the low basketball scores might have been because maybe the game only lasted ten minutes. The guys were probably exhausted from already being smoked like salmon. I adored those young women! They took such glee from those flying lay-ups over the guy's heads, and they were so cute talking to Andi about which guys were hot. Andi was so turned on by Brian's play it reminded me that she insists her men be good with a gun. I hope she doesn't put those kinds of skills too high on her list of husband qualities. At the end of the day it doesn't get the lawn mowed. If the show had edited any of Eric's conversation, I wish it would have been what he said about his faith. That's the kind of thing that might really worry his family. I would love to see Marquel as the next Bachelor. So funny last night with the bit about breathing excellence.

Maybe they cut some of the grammar curriculum to work on that special ability to yell at a group of bewildered people until they all look ready to plead guilty without even knowing the charge. I also noticed how she could take the lamest defense, "up late," "exhausted," and put it out there with enough self-righteous emphasis to make any jury take her side. The use of rhetoric questions was pretty awesome, too. If I'm going to commit a crime I want Andi delivering my final plea to the jury: "Was she the last person to see her husband? Was his food poisoned? Did she take out a million dollar life insurance policy the day before he died? SURE SHE DID! But do you have any idea how irritating that man was? Do you know how she had to struggle to get even one turn at the remote control? Go think about that and I don't want to hear you say the word "guilty," just don't even think about saying it!"

We might need to start a list of words Andi won't let us say. So far we have, "okay" and "acting."

I think maybe the "poker face," Eric was seeing was just Andi not turning on the charm with him, as much, after she started to realize she liked some of the other guys better. I don't fault Andi for doing that but I do fault her for getting furious with Eric for picking up on it. Maybe she should have just told him that she "was developing feelings" for someone else. That's twice, counting Juan Pablo, that she's had a huge hissy over a slight criticism and that's twice that she's lectured the entire group like an irate school teacher, because one guy did something she didn't like. Don't frighten my Marcus like that, Andi!

Yes, he does! I like Nick but I think he might be a little over-confident about his special connection with Andi at this point. JJ walks like Tony Perkins. If he say anything about his mother being his best friend we might need to warn Andi.

I've noticed that every time one of the B's pays Andi a compliment she responds with "Awwww," as though he just skinned his knee. Not that I'm faulting her for this because I know it must be hard to know what to say to some guy you've just met saying you're breath taking and he thinks he's falling in love with you. Emily and Des used to say, "That's sweet," which seemed to me, sort of a patronizing thing to say to a grown assed man. What should she say? Maybe we can send her a note.

Marcus does look about twelve, but I thought Jef Holmes looked about eight and Emily chose him. There's no accounting for other women's taste. All through Des's season I kept saying,"But what about the tall handsome one!" meaning Chris, and she just ignored me until that odd, greasy guy dumped her.

My brother is probably Level 2, pushing 3. His basement is packed with what he is sure is the largest vinyl record collection, ever. He might be right, since he bought the bulk of it from a music store that was closing. His upstairs is fairly well stuffed with boxes he never unpacked from his last move ten years ago plus all the new stuff he orders off TV and buys at garage sales. Now things have escalated. His girlfriend has started moving in. Her own large house being too packed with clutter, she spends most of her time with him. A few months ago she inherited almost a million dollars from her mother's estate. She immediately retired and began shopping. Most of her time is spent ordering things on line, big things like grandfather clocks and artificial waterfalls for that bedroom ambiance. All of this is currently unpacked in my brother's dining room. At the rate she's going she will be through the inheritance and unable to walk inside his house within a year. Oh by the way, the plumbing in his house is shot but they won't bother to get it fixed. They could sell their wrecked houses and buy a lovely beach cottage somewhere warm, but, no. They would first have to organize and cull their hoards and that will never, ever happen.

I agree the Colonel was one of the creepiest ever. There's something so frightening about a person who can show two entirely different faces to the world.

I hope Andi doesn't really like JJ as much as she said she did. I think he's a walking flutter of red flags. Non-stop talking, all of it about himself, repeated the same stuff over and over, worked too hard and too long at the old-person character, thinks his quirkiness is cuter than it really is, was so bullied in school he had to change schools and now can't wait to gang up on Andrew for having a phone number, broke up with his last girl friend because all they did was compete with each other. He's a pantsapreneur. Andi is cutting all the right men. Opera man sobbed over someone he'd just met and the other guy had hair like Sean Penn in "Dead Man Walking." I think Marcus is dreamy but Andi wasn't responding to his tender kisses at all. Andi's a smacker.

Last night was a repeat of "Something Wicked," about the two popular, West Virginia, high school girls who stabbed their friend Skylar to death because they decided they didn't like her anymore. They planned it for months but then hurried to get it done, "before church camp." One of them was still grinning and tossing her long blonde hair in the court room. Shudder.

Do what Craig did on Bachelor Pad and he'd be the star of the show. I didn't really dislike him until he seemed so stunned that Andi cut him -- I thought that indicated a guy who was used to messing up and then being instantly forgiven as soon as he acted cute and contrite. I think Andi's going to be an interesting Ette. Partly because she does draw out interesting conversation from the men and partly because, as Bugs noticed, she can get mad all out of proportion to the offence. I hope the guys have been warned abut saying, "Okay."

Stop! No, really, Andi, stop. I don't mind the "y'alls" because I know that's how southern people say you plural and Andi's just letting the guys know she's talking to all of them, but I really wish she would stop telling them to stop because I keep thinking she really means it. Craig needed to go just for initiating those hugs. I think men should let the women do that. Andi is growing on me. I like having such an articulate Bachelorette, plus I thought she looked gorgeous on her horse racing date.

I could never understand why they kept trying to sell Emily as a southern belle when she's from West Virginia, which fought on the Union side. Scarlet O'Hara would have shot her. I am intrigued at the idea of Andi looking for a job like Nancy Grace's. CNN and HLN are based in Atlanta so Andi wouldn't even have to leave her home.

Oooo, I just now watched the last few minutes which my recorder had failed to catch. I see we're not only going to have tearful meltdowns from Andi but also from a half dozen men, plus possible jealous fights. Awesome. Just when I was thinking, "The Bachelorette," was never as entertaining as "The Bachelor," because women bring the hissy fits. I wasn't sure the average man would find Andi's type of looks super appealing, not that she isn't great looking, but so many guys like the blonde Emily types. I was wrong again-- they seem bowled over by Andi. Good! More drama.

Oh thanks, Leigh dear. I knew he was unintentionally funny, but I forgot any examples. Now I kind of wish Andi had kept him. Andi looks great. Her flexing thigh muscles as she walked on the beach made me so jealous. Come to think of it that's what the men in all those tight, skimpy suits remind me of, Incredible Hulk's muscles busting out of his clothes, "No rose, make Hulk mad!"

Thanks for getting that all organized for us, Krispadget. For Andi, I like the farmer and the lawyer. For me, Chris Harrison.

This is a hard question for me because I'm a huge fan and think it was one of the best sit-coms of all time. I have about twenty, "favorite" episodes including the three already named. For the moment, I'm thinking of "Barney's New Car." Barney had a chance to use all his skills; excited about buying the car, naïve and too trusting with the woman who sold it to him, swaggering after he bought it, dejected when it broke down and Barney the Super Cop catching the stolen car ring. Plus he gets to duck walk which always cracked me up. Big extra points go to Thelma Lou for her hilarious screaming reaction when the steering column slides up.

"Jenny Kiss'd Me" by Leigh Hunt Jenny kiss'd me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your list, put that in! Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have miss'd me, Say I'm growing old, but add, Jenny kiss'd me. It's a favorite of mine. I love how the show makes Sister Monica Jones's random literary references sort of fit, in an odd way.

After LJ stood up Tasha I was rooting for him to go home. I understood not wanting to make Tony paranoid but he could have managed to hear her out. I also thought tony played it wrong by not going to Trish before he lined everyone up against LJ. She's going to be so angry at him. Tasha was second in the physical challenge last week and first in the mental challenge this week. I hope they continue to underestimate her.

I think the girl is either a friend of the family or a distant relative. She's made several bold attempts to gain Victors interest, so I'm glad she finally saw how much he loves Agnes. I'm so relieved he's not going to war. Don't go George! Poor George is already shell-shocked from having that drunken brute for a father, I just can't imagine someone so fragile in the trenches. I hate seeing Lady Mae lie to Harry. Will Miss Martle soon have a handsome Belgian lover with whom to share her fortune? She's really coming into her own and I hope once Agnes moves in she will uncover the furniture and really enjoy her house. I hate to say it but I sort of want Rose to go back to America. The real Mr. Selfridge had a long torrid affair with a burlesque queen, spending so much money on emeralds and gambling debts for her, that he bankrupted himself and the store. I think that would make for some very good TV.

This is my new favorite thread. They are all adorable but Swiffer is a dog I would seriously love to take a nap with. I get sleepy just looking at him.
