I had to chime in on the fashions…in short, it was a mess. I noticed the modesty netting on Melissa’s dress about halfway through and couldn’t unsee it. Was she planning to go ice skating after? Hated Danielle’s squished boobs. Things I did like - Teresa’s hair and Marge’s dress (but again with that top knot bun that does nothing for her). I actually thought Jennifer looked the best, her dress was kind of old fashioned but she looked the most put together. Rachel looked ok, and I agreed with her stance on no nanny….if I had the money I would also hire help in all other areas of my life (cooking, cleaning, etc.) so I could just focus on my baby. I didn’t notice Fessler looking that different except that her face doesn’t move AT ALL now, she’s got like a permanent Joker smile. Jackie was Jackie, a yawn per usual. I did agree with her take on Ozempic though. Like what are all these ladies going to do, stay on this for the rest of their lives?? I’m finally almost done with this season just in time for the next season to start, ha!

This has probably already been discussed as I’m watching this a year too late, but I think Bill does reconstructions and things of that nature, so not purely “cosmetic” surgery. I may be wrong though. I’d be shocked if she paid even a fraction of that cost. Andy and co. really went all out for this season with the European vacay and then this outlandish wedding. I’m surprised, he’s been pretty stingy the last few seasons.

What was weird was that the makeup girl was saying it’s inappropriate for Jen to be talking to Teresa about Joe when SHE was the one who brought it up first! The dorters all looked beautiful. They all look 35, but beautiful 35 year olds. I actually really liked Teresa’s ceremony dress, it was all the “extras” that made it absurd. Her little Bo peep lingerie reception dress however, not so much. Now on Luis I preferred his darker jacket for the reception to the ceremony white. I never liked white dinner jackets though, they just remind me of waiters. Did we really need that flurry of name tags every time someone we’ve been watching all season came on the screen?? Like we know who Paul, Delores’ boyfriend is, and unfortunately we know who Jackie is. I wish I didn’t, but I do. You don’t have to keep telling us five thousand times. It was distracting. I’m guessing most of the women who received name tags were housewives, I only watch NY and NJ so I only recognized Dorinda and I think Jill was there. If I was Fessler and her husband I would have stayed. Maybe they were contractually obligated to leave. I would have been pissed.

Yep. My thoughts exactly. She’s become the Julian of the show (aka punching bag) but boning Drew has to make up for that at least slightly. And WHAT an upgrade from her last partner, even though I did like them together. He never wanted her to go back after the cancer battle. They had a big fight over it and he used the same argument about how she doesn’t need the money because he has money. That’s my problem with it as well. Michael hasn’t been supportive of Willow working for a long time, and it feels like she’s finally succumbing to his pressure. Also I’m a stay at home mom, and I have more of an identity than Willow even if she was working. I mean we all knew Jason was a shit father but to now have it spelled out in writing is just next level. Gross.

I feel like it’s always been this way since the Gorga’s joined the show. I still remember that skeevey guy who said Melissa used to work for him blindsiding Tre and she was just like “umm…hi”. She was blamed for that when she never said a word and it was that Posh lady who brought him around (what was her name??). She went to say hi to Mel and Joe at a christening party and was told she was trash. This season she was roasted for saying her “chosen family” in the housewarming toast even though the Gorgas were invited and chose not to come. I mean Teresa is no saint don’t get me wrong, but truly she is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t.

Oh my god judging by that trailer Jackie is still there…..WHY?? Did she somehow finagle housewife status again??

I definitely think Delores has every right to be in her own relationship and she is at a stage in her life where she should be focusing on that. She really did make a gigantic effort to stay on good terms with Frank and that no doubt benefited her children greatly. However, I do have to say I don’t think it was just a one way street. I remember when Delores first came on the show she said Frank still paid all her bills and always had. She never even used to open her mail, she would give it all to Frank. She had some business venture (I think it was a gym?) that was also financed by Frank. So while she was raising the kids and doing a pretty kick ass job just judging by what we see of them on the show, Frank was supporting not only the children but also Delores financially. The kids were his responsibility obviously, but he was also financing Delores’ lifestyle. So while he’s a semi-shady character and needs to get over it, I can see why it’s difficult because of the dynamic they’ve had for over 20 years.

I was so confused as to what Melissa was so extremely upset over. She said she knew about this six months ago, so why is she mad now? Because it’s coming out on the show? I thought the reaction was super strange for someone who already knew this was being said. It kind if bothered me that Delores calls herself “the lady of the house”. It’s Paul’s house. She just moved in. I’m glad they are getting a new place that will be for them both, especially since I didn’t think his townhome was anything out of this world. Marge’s dress was really beautiful. From the neck down she looked gorgeous. From the neck up, a mess. Including the bullshit she was spewing. I hate to ever defend Teresa, but in all the flashbacks where she was supposedly shit talking Melissa, she was silent. Everyone around her was talking shit but she wasn’t. I honestly don’t think she was ever trying to destroy her brother’s marriage. Melissa wanted to come on the show and replace Teresa as the star, and Joey G. went along with it because I truly think he loves his wife and wants to make her happy, and she walks all over him for that. I’ll give Melissa this though I laughed out loud when she said little Frankie looked like Leo DeCaprio and Joe looked like the little Italian friend. Hee!! She nailed it!

I had the hugest crush on Coleman!

Same, I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this documentary so I’m finally checking it out. I’m shocked this is the Head of the Class guy, I actually really liked him on that show. Wow.

There comes an age where if you’re aging naturally something’s gotta give. You might need to gain a LITTLE weight in order to keep your face looking fuller. Steve it’s definitely more concerned with his body than his face, which is weird because as an actor your face is what’s on display the most, especially when you’re on tv every single day.

I kind of wish they would bring Lulu back because Laura should have at least one of her children on the canvas. I think Lulu could be recast and it wouldn’t be a big deal. The two actresses who played her were fine, but not irreplaceable. On the other hand the one and only Lucky will always be Jonathan Jackson for me, nothing against the other two but JJ just had that certain something.

Loved all of this. And Maxie’s styling is greatly improved. I hope it lasts, I’ve thought hair and makeup got their shit together before and then a few days later poor Kirsten was back to looking grey. She really does. She is the definition of a company (wo)man. She really puts in the work, even when the material is crap. I had forgotten all about that! They were hilarious! I still remember Carly trying to do the walk of shame out of AJ’s room at the Q mansion and Monica catching her. Hee!! Tamara Braun was my favorite Carly. Of course, only Sarah Brown’s Carly ever had a romantic relationship with Jason if you can call it that. But Tamara and her vulnerability could pull it off. I just can’t see it with Laura’s Carly.

Did anyone catch yesterday’s show when they were interviewing those cruise ship passengers that got stranded? Awful story, but can we talk about the art in the background….like they couldn’t find ANY OTHER PLACE to sit?! The camera guy was trolling too….its like they placed the camera a certain way so we wouldn’t miss it. When they came back to the live shot they went to Craig for a different story and he couldn’t help but giggle. Steph Gosk was chuckling as well.

Watching the Ruby Frankie story now. Just awful. Made me so sad to see that little girl crying when Ruby said she’d cut off the head of her stuffie. Who does that? I don’t usually watch 20/20. The host never looks at the camera which is very distracting. Like who’s she supposed to be talking to??
