You're absolutely 100% correct. Throw Teresa Guidice in there and you have the trifecta.

To this day, when I hear the name Fergie I always think of Sarah Ferguson first. I guess I'm showing my age. :)

Eew. That was so gross. Schena was all like, "Uh, no, that's not blood gushing down his face. It's totally jelly."

That is beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye.

He's mostly off to me because he's marrying Scheana. I was really distracted by the piece of food hanging out on the tip of Jax's schnoz during the lunch with Katie and The Toms. I kept waiting for it to fall off, but it never did.

Agreed. It actually angered me a bit that no one spoke up and said, "I think you look beautiful" or something along those lines. They just stood behind that bitch and allowed her to take over. I think Kim mumbled something like, "Let's see another dress..." but other than that--nothing. On another note--nice hat, Brandi. What's with knit hats in the middle of the summer? Was she channeling her inner FI Tom with that thing?

Agreed. I was just spitballing. :)

And this is why the twitter save blows. I hate it. And I especially hate that they put the real-time results at the bottom of the screen. We basically knew the whole time that Chris was getting saved. So fucking stupid. I used to love this show when it first started--now...not so much. I will be one of them. In fact, I think I'm done for the season. I'd like to see Team Gwen win, but I can't get excited about TJW. I guess I'm sooooo tired of it being Blake and Adam every. stinking. season. I know it's about the artists and not the coaches, but still. I keep thinking they should go back to the original format of eliminating someone from each team per week and have the finale made up of one person per team. I don't know. There's got to be a better way.

So Chris/Adam got the pimp spot again? Huh. Danica wiped the floor with those guys. What a shame.

Ryan again?!? Are you effing kidding me?!

Just to pile on here--when Justin was showing Zanna his "I Love You" print I thought, "Didn't he do that in his original season?" Nope--that was Jeremy and his poem dress. These dudes all just start to blend after awhile.

Oh no...

No shit. I like that song and I like Anita, but come on. What am I missing with Ryan? He was horrid last night. Horrid. And he was getting praise left and right. That dude cannot leave fast enough for me.

Anita FTW. And Pharrell for the Terrance Trent D'Arby shout out.

I totally LOL'd at Michaela thinking she had a big deal job interview and then was presented with a pre-nup. Rebecca and Wes have zero chemistry. ZERO. In fact, the only scenes in this show that have any kind of chemistry going on are those that involve Connor. Thank God we get a lot of them. And count me in with those who saw Lila being preggers a mile away. Not a big revelation, show. I'm guessing this is to make the audience think that Sam is the guilty party. Can we get an Asher spin-off? Please?

It's working.

I think my favorite line from the previews is, "I don't know what I did to you, but I'll take a Pinot Grigio." Do you think Stassi stays up at night writing these one liners? I feel dirty watching this show (like Kristen levels of dirty), but god help me--I cannot quite these chuckleheads.

Oh, yeah--she's terrible. She was cringe worthy in Coven and not much better in that scene last night. I just hope that we won't be seeing too much of her.

I was kind of hoping for some Dandy/Matt Bomer sexytime.

I second the kitchen scale. What you *think* is 3 oz. of chicken is NOT 3 oz. of chicken. :) Something that worked for me was pre-planning meals and logging them. No matter if you're counting calories or doing WW, if you know what you're having for breakfast and lunch then you know how many calories, points, whatever you have left for dinner. Good luck!

I don't think this episode had a prayer of being liked by viewers because most people dislike Beth.

Makes perfect sense. They're either going to gain it back or go to the other extreme like Rachel and Helen.

Absolutely. I recently lost 40 lbs and I didn't stop drinking beer or eating Chinese takeout. I just didn't have them everyday. Ha ha.

This is where this show fails in my opinion. Losing weight isn't all about the hard core workouts. It's also about nutrition and learning how to eat better. We see virtually nothing about food and I suspect it's because they're placed on such restrictive diets that the show doesn't want us to see that. What would have been nice is to have seen Jen sit down with her team and say, "Hey, if you want to have a cocktail one night that's fine. Stick to a glass of wine or stay away from sugary drinks. Use club or diet sodas as your mixer. It's OK if you want a slice of duck from the buffet or a scoop of pasta. Just balance it out with grilled veggies or a salad." Teach them how to eat for the rest of their lives. One of my favorite scenes from this show was when Jillian visited Tara at home and took her to lunch. Tara was all stressed about the finale and Jillian told her to have a glass of wine and Tara just about fell out of her chair. Jillian was all like, "Good god, it's one glass of wine. You need to learn how to live your life." She was right.

I was going to post something similar after Monday night's show and never did. I'm in total agreement with you. I cannot stand her and I'm not sure I can even articulate why. There's just something about her I don't like. That said, I've been impressed with her coaching skills. Go figure.
