I would like to agree with this, but I more thought that it's a meteor/fork in the eye situation. If you (plural) are siding with Jax, there's something very wrong, and if the alternate option is to side with Sandoval, just throw yourself into the La Brea tar pits and be done with it. Also, Jax popping up out of nowhere was about the fakest of fake fakiness every to have been faked on this show. And they didn't care or hide it! He walks off Vanderpump RIGHT INTO HIS OWN SHOW.

Well, let's be fair, it probably would be awesome and make her some money. I see no issues with her badly wanting to be on the show.

I'll take the under; and if I were you I would not take the opposite against me.

I'd be interested in a source for this assertion.

How on earth did Andy not ask "Kyle, have you and Morgan had sex?" I suppose there must have been some kind of agreement. God, what a nothingburger.

The former is a lot more understandable than the latter. Not even just the lying and cheating, but the years of overwhelming self-important whining. ARIANA is high and mighty?

1000%. As long as she doesn't go the other way - badly deeper into it instead as a result. But in her talking head she seemed pretty sheepish and sorta self-aware about it, though, so I would bet it helps.

Also, Sandoval is pathetic jerk, but I'm sorry, he's not responsible for the fact that you made a conscious decision to marry Tom fucking Schwartz, Katie. Everything after that decision is on you. I don't think she cares, and I don't think she SHOULD care. On the outside of this crowd is where she should want to be.

Man, they are REALLY leaning into the villainification of Ariana. I suppose it's a level of needed for production but it's a bit lame IMO. I'm not entirely sure what Jo's done that's actually so terrible, honestly. So she's goofy. I'll take her goofiness over Alli's fucking astrology every single day. Katie saying she'd rather throw herself out the window than talk about Tom after they'd already stopped talking about Tom, and then bringing Tom up to talk about is pure Katie. Ariana was pretty fun on WWH; the one thing I'd side-eye was her still giving Lisa some looks about hanging with Sandoval. As a CURRENT showbiz worker, Ariana, you should by now understand stewardship of her branded show. At the time, if you knew, I can see it being annoying. Now? A year later? Recognize a little bit that other people have lives. Lastly, that dress-up boys dinner was stupid-looking. They did not dress for the setting.

This was a confusing episode, and I cannot for the life of me understand at all what reason there is for literally ZERO footage of this Carl/Lindsey episode while out. It's bizarre. Also bizarre was the weird one-episode Lindsey redemption tour this week. I admit being confused as shit. Ciera and West are cute, but honestly, I myself saw no chemistry there in this date, whatever that might mean. There was not a lot of ease there, it was way too self-conscious. I mean, Danielle was on Live just the other night defending Lindsey, and now Lindsey is here shitting on her?

A week is seriously too long to be down. That is a bad decision.

I mean, threats are lame, and I'm not in favor of something literal, but as a reminder, this was only four months after the event. And that initial sentiment was probably within a month. That's still pretty raw for a breakup of that nature and the aftermath. I was saying the other day that all this is in fact made different by the TV show. I'm pretty sure that IRL there would not be this much or ANY crossover. IMO/experience, people would split into separate teams for AT LEAST 6 months after something this serious. Reality TV is definitely warped reality. Lala has plenty of reasons to be hated that are not set by Tom Sandoval.

🧐 Let's not say things we'll regret when the coke wears off. 😀

In fairness, I'm putting this all on Rachel's mom. She fucked this one up entirely. First off, having worked with rescues and dogs all my life, sure the dog could have nipped at Rachel's mom. I think it is far more likely the mom just lied. (EDIT: wait, I feel like there were pictures? Or am I remembering wrong?) One of ours we got from an asshole family at six years old because they said he peed all over their house. How many times in the last five years since the day we got him has he peed or marked inside my house, any house, anywhere inside, Lowe's, a pet store? ZERO. EMPATHY TIME: I also think this poor woman had nothing to fucking do with her daughter's affair with a douchebag and now she has to be in the news, which, oy. There, empathy over. Even if Graham did nip at her, so what? Treat the dog better, figure it out, training. Fuck that lady.

100% That name change is a -1 for James.

In lame news, sadly Wolf currently still has no opening date, as per the tubes. Also, Ally loses points for being unable to grasp that there's no way Graham is going to go after the cat to do anything but play around like a goofball. Then again, James didn't either, so they appear to be a decent pair of dumbells. I worry for Graham in three or four years.

I think this is a bit of wishcasting.

I mean it does have to be frustrating but it is 100% true that the rising tide of Tom Sandoval's douchebaggery lifted all boats. A hell of a lot of money has been made from Tom being a lying, cheating, thoughtless idiot. But you know who else made a lot of money? Everyone who worked at the TSA after some dipshit tried to blow up a plane with a shoe. But at least that moron wasn't so stupid that he felt that he should be entitled to some of the windfall as a direct result of his terrible decisions. And Tom's boat was also lifted. He was just on the cover of the NY Times fucking magazine. However, he is such a narcissist he really can't imagine that he has had consequences for doing something bad. I had even a certain amount of sympathy in the immediate aftermath. This show has had cheaters after cheaters, but nothing like this EVER happened to them. It's just... Tom didn't see that his was in fact different, and I don't know that anyone could have really predicted the overwhelming aftermath (part of which was actually brought on by the fact that he himself had a very good reputation until this thing). I have no doubt it was a lot, even though it was his fault. It was a perfect storm of the new world. But you know what, there are people who deal with this every day in that town. There were resources, and instead of utilizing those, he spent all his money touring with a shitty rock band and was an enormous dick. He ADDED to the storm - it wasn't out of his control. So ultimately it's on him now.

Let's not nominate him to take over for James Lipton yet. He did publicly and proudly revenge-urinate on someone's bushes because he wasn't apologized to for not being consulted by Tom about Rachel like she was his property. While I also love a good dog story, I am not entirely convinced James is going to remain the best place for that dog. With luck I'm wrong. This is not entirely unreasonable, but there are apologies and there are apologies. His are not working because he is conveying no sincerity and he's frequently, consistently being a self-centered douchecanoe with even LESS perspective, even a year later. Lastly, this look was definitely something.

They specifically showed the bones in the ceiling in the last episode. That teacher may have been an expert, but he was also teaching high school in the middle of nowhere, and watching a shitty video. As earlier, you're allowed not to like whatever you want. But this a larger debate about what makes up art and entertainment and why your thoughts on this show are not universally shared. Unlike, say, the overwhelming public opinion of The Idol.

I wondered this too, and it was probably a new house; but honestly with all the dark, it COULD have been on the water for all we know.

Liz's young ward Prior is British as well.

I thought it was less about the thawing and more about some chemical effect on the ice, but either way I'll just refer you back to what you quoted of mine. I get if it annoys, you should read one of my 12 rants about that horrible Beethoven movie shitshow from the 90s, Immortal Beloved. But fiction is fiction, and needs these things. This might have been one of the few realistic things, though. Didn't want to waste bullets? Didn't want to accidentally hit Navarro? I didn't mind it because it worked, so.

You're certainly allowed not to like it, but this criticism is a bit odd to me because the science was supposed to be world-changing enough for scientists to murder over it. The story needs for that science to be beyond real-world sense. You may not like it, but to me it's like discarding Ocean's 11 for the odder, reality-stretching bits in that or any other non-documentary film.
