This made my day. That is all.

Athelstan deserves better for what will presumably be his first time.

Cosigning AAAAAALLLLLLLL of this. Also:

Favorites in order of how much I enjoy watching them, not how much I like them as people. 1. Milania 2. Teresa Giudice (great TV, hilarious, maddening, fascinating) 3. Bethenny Frankel (Greek chorus, a cynic, was always in on the joke) 4. Dina Manzo (love her voice, could listen to her read the phone book all day) 5. Phaedra Parks (until recently; great one-liners, ridiculous subplots) 6. Kenya Moore (quickly gaining on Phaedra; great TV, playing a role very well) 7. Lisa Vanderpump (a goddess) 8. Kyle Richards (like her personality and style, seems like a real, flawed, lovable person) 9. Claudia Jordan (comparatively smart; quickly rising due to her willingness to engage Nene with a much-needed dose of reality) 10. Greg Bennett (another Greek chorus, hilarious, real) 11. Melissa Gorga (entertaining in her delusion, appreciate her hustle if I'm being honest) 12. Mauricio Umansky (good looking, reasonably sane) 13. Rosie Wakile (same reason as everyone else; she's human and entertaining) 14. Ginerrrr (purely for her dedication to being a female drag queen from 1991) Least favorites 1. Ashleeeeee Holmes (aka "Hat;" insufferable) 2. Mama Joyce (nasty, emotionally abusive, ungrateful, vulgar, needs to be put on a leash, stat) 3. Nene Leakes (an ignorant, nasty, delusional megalomaniac whose 15 minutes should've been up an hour ago) 4. Danielle Staub (especially season 2, when she brought on those goons) 5. Jim Marchese (goes without saying) 6. Caroline Manzo (insufferable, delusional, The Worst) 7. Lauren Manzo (Caroline 2: The Revenge) 8. Michaeleehaheaé Salahi (too delusional to watch, scary) 9. Brandi Glanville (tacky, trashy, ugly, mean, immature, insane, totally un-self-aware) 10. Jacqueline Laurita (god, the crying; she also cynically tried to manipulate Teresa and has the maturity of a four-year-old) 11. Carlton Gebbia (so gross) 12. Kim D (too tacky to look at) 13. Rich Wakile (vulgar, crude, sexist, immature, tacky) 14. Jill Zarin (shrill, selfish, silly) 15. David Foster (a real asshole, selfish, myopic) 16. Roger Bobbbbb (STFU about Roger Bobbbbbb already) 17. Those horrible Jersey Twins I don't watch OC or Miami, sorry. Could never get into them (thank you, Jesus!).

I have two master's degrees from universities more prestigious than Baylor, and I would still speak exactly like these two if I moved home to small-town Texas and opened a local business. My Texan friends and I love watching this show because it reminds us of home. I like that they wear "Waco" T-shirts and Cowboys boots and say "y'all." I do those things, too.

I keep reading people saying that they think Morello's accent is a cross between Boston and Brooklyn, but it sounds like a typical Bronx accent to me. Definitely not New Jersey. I was shocked when it turned out that Morello was from Jersey. However, the consistency of the accent and total dedication to the character and her total "voice" is amazing.

My partner thinks Poussey was going to commit suicide, not murder the German officer.

I am leaning toward thinking the picture of Teresa was real; that she is that short; that we saw her real hair (it's always been thick and, honestly, great); that the jewelry was her one, allowed "religious medallion"; that she was wearing the makeup she walked in wearing.

I think 5'3" is possible, too. Caroline is definitely 5'1", max. (Confession: I am also 5', and I am a great height sleuth as a result! Always looking for other shorties! Keep in mind that most celebrities add an inch or two to their published heights).

I share the mixed feelings of other posters. I'm glad she got 15 months, not because I want her to be punished so much as I want her to, finally, really get it. I agree with Judge Salas that confinement was necessary. In 15 months, she may get it. I hope so, for her sake. I've been thinking about her daily, too. She's an idiot, and definitely a criminal, and up to this point has shown little comprehension or remose except insofar as her four beautiful dorters are concerned (and even that, I think, was largely for sympathy, since she obviously wasn't thinking about them when committing these crimes and blowing through 13 million dollars). But I do feel sorry for her. Just because I'm human, too, and I cannot fathom knowing that you had fucked things up that badly. Not just for yourself, but for your children. I don't even have kids, but... yikes. My prayer for her is that she gets the wake-up call she needs, and that Caroline's prophecy comes to pass. I think it could go either way. Teresa is not bright, and is deeply, deeply invested in her delusion.

Fixed hair, looks like a black velour tracksuit, minimal makeup. Who wins? http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/05/teresa-giudice-last-meal-prison-sentence-egg-sandwich
