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??

That's probably why. She has to work harder to squeeze juice out of a rock. He sucks. My thought exactly. I think all his scene partners have to work extra hard because he gives nothing. Even the actor who plays Danny was stepping up his game. He’s a kid and not the strongest of the kid set, but he was still carrying those scenes with Burton. Frankly I’d be very annoyed at that.

Maybe her uncle Mitt could join. Or Liz Cheney? They are high profile republicans from the “old guard “. I felt badly for Kristen on MTP. Good for Chuck for sticking up for her. I was shocked, he’s such a company man. I was listening to a podcast and they said all the networks are trying to hire these “insiders” now ahead of the election coverage being in full swing. This has also been a disaster for NBC because the “other” network has been having a field day with saying NBC won’t hire ANY republican voices. Also Ronna was going to be paid a yearly salary of $300k. It’s a lot, but peanuts to a huge news organization. They should just pay out her salary and make this all go away as fast as possible.

What time is Rachel on? I’m curious to hear her thoughts on this.

Same. When she was smugly telling Nina that Nina knew nothing about being working at the invader I yelled at the tv “neither did you!” She was awful in those scenes.

he didn't even break even from the sales at his showing. he needs to keep a "regular" job and do the artwork on the side until he can actually make some money Oh I agree with you he totally needs an actual income earning job and he can still do his art on the side. Svea was just expecting a normal type relationship, which would be impossible with a person who just spent a decade in prison. I think they were both being unrealistic. But at least it seems they stayed friends and Joseph’s doing ok on his own now, from the little update at the end. Interesting that the only couples still together are the ones where the guy is still in prison. That reality hits hard.

Gabi is just all sorts of weird. “This is my sparkler.” What grown woman says that. And who even paid for that ring? Did she buy it herself? She’s killing her poor mother. She’s an odd one. I actually thought Joseph’s art was quite good. He has a good opportunity with this. I hope he doesn’t squander it. He should have understood that Svea can’t just drop everything to fly across the world to be at his show, but at the same time she hasn’t been super supportive so maybe that a part of it too. She’s very set in her ways, which is completely fine, but then maybe she shouldn’t be in a relationship. That’s always going to require some support and compromise, even more so if you choose to date someone who just spent his entire adult life up to this point in prison.

It can be found in Urban Dictionary. I had to look, I never heard of it before. This scene made me laugh way too hard. They all looked so confused. I thought it was hilarious when Jen asked Margaret if she knew what it meant and Marge just flatly said “No”. And Jackie piping in saying She doesn’t even know like shut up Jackie no one cares. Marge may be an asshole but I’ll giver her this she does apologize when she thinks she’s wrong. I think she’s wrong a lot more than she thinks she’s wrong, but I have to give her credit for that. Rachel looks like a porcelain doll come to life, and it’s creepy as all get out. Jackie chugging the beer I would say didn’t really count, half of it when down her shirt. This is what she contributes. Pathetic. Fessler was also gross but she was so funny in the restaurant with the tatas out I’ll giver her a pass.

I am legitimately curious about how they will spin this to be Teresa’s fault. I also 100% believe Marge has info on ALL of them because why else would she continue to be left unscathed with all the venom she’s spewed?

It especially looks horrible on Margaret, her face is already pulled to within an inch of its life without pulling her hair back too. And what’s with those clips holding the baby hairs in the back? I use the same ones on my toddler. Fessler is hilarious, stuffing her face with cheese, the hot flashes, and the fact that she actually looks like a normal person and hasn’t overdone the surgeries. I really could have done without the vulgar explanation about her boning Tony Soprano though. I have to say she probably looks the best out of all of them. Melissa is so pretty and has a great body but in the TH’s you can see she’s overdone the fillers. Fessler looks great and natural as well. It’s horrible what most of these women have done to themselves, when they were naturally pretty before. Even when she went to Ireland with Paul to meet his fam Delores was STILL in workout clothes. Does she not own anything else?? There are plenty of of other clothes that are comfortable and cute. I’m glad Delores called out Jackie for being an asshole. Yeah, the psychic thing was stupid but you don’t have to be a jackass about it. If she ended up replacing Marge as a HW that would be glorious.

100% this! It’s like Steve spent all his energy in that one scene with Laura, now he’s back to flat Jason. Honestly the last storyline Steve had any energy for was probably when Jason got together with Sam, helping her through losing her baby, etc. Nowadays I see flashes of that guy (when he was supporting Britt, the scene with Carly..) but it’s rare. He’s really useless at this point. Most of his former love interests are in relationships. His children have father figures in their lives who are much more stable than he ever has been, not that he was ever really in his kids’ life begin with. Even his boss has a new #2 guy. So what will they do with him?

I think they're a good fit. I don't agree with comments that KSt is so far our of his league and the re-pairing is a punishment for her. Agree. I liked them as a couple. Spinelli is the type of character that needs to be consumed in small doses because he’s ALOT, but I mostly like him (unpopular, I know). Why would anyone think Maxie is too good for him? She lied to him about being preggo with his baby, then ended up pretty much abandoning said baby leaving him to raise her alone (with Ellie who I still miss). Yeah, he works for mobsters but she’s not exactly a model citizen or anything. As I’m writing this, I’m realizing I like both of them better when they’re a couple.
