I saw a recent picture of Mason with a short haircut. He looks strikingly like Scott. It's sad, because we've seen that when he's sober, he can be a really good and fun dad. I still root for the guy.

Exactly. And she has to know that stuffing your face 24/7 while pregnant is not good, either. Yes, being pregnant makes you hungrier. But Kim was shown eating in the car, eating during meetings, flying to Paris for some extra-special desserts, eating fruit roll-ups and cronuts like they were all going away, etc. I mean, literally every scene she's been in lately has involved us having to watch her eat. Throwing a shoulder-coat on, wearing face-stretching braids and all the Photoshopping in the world isn't going to erase the extra weight. Interesting...I wonder if she ever feels bad for laughing and fat-shaming her brother now.

I am sure she was not joking. I remember her telling Kourtney that getting a stretch mark was "literally her worst nightmare." So, yeah. Ironically, it was my husband who got me hooked on this show in the first place. He would watch old episodes on Sundays and I used to tease him mercilessly for it. Before last year, the only K sister I could name was Kim - I always got the other four mixed up. But when the news of Bruce transitioning became public, I was hooked and fascinated. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of watching older shows. Thank goodness for this forum. A girl's gotta have someone to snark with or it's just not as fun.

Because good heavens, it would be way too much to hope that Kim would choose a good, non-famewhore type man to be a faithful and steady husband and father to her children. It's all about the freaking publicity. Who can she hook up with to make sure her name stays in the headlines? Of course, it's unlikely that Kim would give a common man the time of day, so whatever. It's never good to watch anyone self-destruct, even Kanye. It's unfortunate that he's doing it so publicly. He does need to go away for awhile, but I don't know how likely that would be for a delusional narcissist. I can't imagine being inside the brain of someone like Kanye, but the theme seems to be if I go away, everyone will forget about me, and that can't happen. And as long as people are talking about me, it's all good, even if I am going off the deep end. Bad publicity is far better than no publicity.

I saw a picture from the above outing of him taken from the side, and he is getting slimmer. Good for Rob. Hopefully his momager and sisters don't get their claws back in him and drag him down again.

I was 100% under the assumption that the 911 tapes were re-enacted. Now that I'm reading on this thread that they were real, I'm not sure I can re-watch the show like I normally do. I know pretty much everything about this trial is fair game for the show, but listening to the real voice of a brutally murdered woman while her violently angry ex-husband screams in the background shakes me.

A bad season of Survivor is better than no Survivor at all. I am irrationally excited for tomorrow.

I picture him setting fire to his and Kim's half-finished mansion, and then asking Oprah for a loan to fix it back up.

What has happened to her head?! It looks much longer and thinner, like it's in the shape of an inverted triangle. I realize her nose is now basically a tiny non-functioning lump of cartilage, but I'm struggling to understand her entire head changing shape. She has turned into a really bad caricature of herself. Scary.

Oh no, am I really going to have to watch this one? David Arquette could be interesting.

This is so very true. I wonder what happens when it's Kim who needs the family to rally and support her? And what if it is a mental illness that breaks up the Kimye marriage? Will they show Kanye more love and support than they showed their own brother and pseudo-brother-in-law? Maybe this is why I continue to watch - to see what happens in this family when Kim's sham of a marriage is over. I suppose it's possible that she'll be just fine, as all she wanted out of it anyway was some VIP seats and a couple of kids. And considering she already lives with Kris, I guess it won't be that difficult of a transition. So it seems I'm waiting for something that will never happen.

I too have found myself scanning the cable menu to see if any of the older shows catch my interest. I throw them on the DVR and watch while I'm having coffee before work. Just recently, I had the good fortune to see the ep where Kris decides it would be super fun to crawl into a coffin, in front of her children who, not 8 years earlier, lost their dad. Not much coffee was consumed that morning as I sat there for most of the episode with my mouth hanging open in utter disbelief. Initially, I started watching because I thought the blended family dynamic was interesting, and for a time, it was. I don't know what I expect to see anymore, but the older episodes that featured the men as well as the women were far more entertaining. Of course, compared to what they're putting out there now, watching paint dry would be a much better option. To summarize: I don't know why I watch, and I totally change the channel when I hear either of my teenagers entering the room. I'm ashamed.

Kanye probably told them to smile, but not smile. Breathe in, but don't breathe out. Blink, but only once per minute. Pose, but don't front. Front, but don't pose. Look at the camera, but at a 35.7 degree angle.

But it wasn't HER that made Rob better. It was someone else. That's got to be killing her. Those two had a very strange relationship, and hopefully Rob finally realized that distancing himself from Khloe was the only way he'd ever get healthy. And I'm sure that also drives her crazy, because I think she not only wants to be the one to fix the men in her life, she also has to make sure they keep needing her. The roses were gorgeous.

Kim looks more and more like Janice from The Muppet Show every day. Those dresses are ridiculous. Every last one of them. I feel like I'm looking at a second-hand collection of plastic mannequins dressed in clothes that accidentally got caught in a lawn mower.

And dangerous. It's like watching a slow-moving trainwreck. I sense a frightening meltdown of epic proportions coming up. The question is, who is he going to take down with him? I wonder if Kim ever looks in the mirror and sobs over what her life has become with Kanye. If I were her, I'd be scared for her children's sake.

Khloe was so completely inappropriate at that party. There was no reason for her to take the microphone away from her mother - people seemed confused, especially Kris. Khloe, in her TH, said it was because her mom's speech was getting boring. So Khloe thought she'd jazz it up by being disgusting? I was cringing with second hand embarrassment while watching her. I can't imagine how the guests felt. She really seems to enjoy pushing people's buttons just as hard as she can. What I don't understand is why no one has the guts to reign her in and tell her to shut up. Everyone laughs, like "Oh, that Khloe!" I would be mortified if she were my sister. And what is up with Kanye, President of the Universe? He always appears really uncomfortable and awkward when he shows his face on this show. His smiles seem forced, like he'd rather be covered in fire ants than lower himself to appear on his wife's reality show. And there is, like, negative 1000 percent chemistry between he and Kim now. Their "marriage" is a joke. Jonathan Chebon? Are you seriously telling Kim that she doesn't look pregnant!? You're hysterical. Go away.

Oh noes, not Lammy too!!

AMEN. But what's almost worse is the ridiculous talking-head poses on the couch, where the wife gazes adoringly at the hubby while they giggle at some ridiculously trivial moment that they feel their entire viewing audience needs to know about. I see it with the Duggars, the Bates, the Browns (Sister Wives). She's holding his hand, there's usually at least one hand on someone's thigh..,.BLECH. I agree with Tabbygirl, all that constant touching is disturbing.

So I have no clue about Kanye's music (except for Heartless...which I kind of like). In the music/entertainment world, is his album launch a majorly big deal? I mean, are there millions of people waiting breathlessly for this thing to drop? I guess MSG is a pretty epic place for a party, or is that just Kanye being Kanye? He'd probably rent out the Moon if he could get it past NASA. I'm trying to figure out what the world at large thinks of Kanye's music.

So frustrating, Kim and all her stupid surgeries, because she was a truly beautiful woman before she started trying to improve on everything. I agree, at this point she's trying to fix the parts of her that now look completely unnatural due to all the procedures. You can only "fix" a nose so many times before it starts looking significantly less nose-like. She needs to stop, or her stupid husband needs to tell her to stop, but at this point I doubt she can. She's going to look a hot mess in a few more years.

Regarding the casting of CGJ as OJ, I am willing to suspend the physical differences between the two men based on the fact that Cuba seems to be bringing all aspects of OJ to the screen - the self-importance, the rage, the mental breakdown, etc. But as mentioned above, now I'm really curious how Malcolm Jamal Warner would've handled the part. He's certainly bulked up since his Theo Huxtable days (I didn't even recognize him at first). Could've been interesting, but we'll never know. As for comparing someone to OJ in terms of being well-liked and popular, the first person that came to my mind was Michael Jordan.

I saw an Instragram from Khloe showing her guests for this week. I have no clue who any of them are. I gave this show one and a half chances, but I'm out. The positive side of this is that it turns out I actually do have a breaking point for crappy reality television, and Kocktails with Khloe is it. And this is coming from a girl who gleefully tuned in to watch Rock of Love and that show with Flavor Flav every week for who knows how many years.

I just read a short piece in EW where Marcia does indeed mention the hair, and that she wishes her hair looked as good as Paulson's. She goes on to say that she was a busy, frazzled mom of two young boys and just wanted something wash and wear. As a girl of the 80's, I sympathize with her. I never had a perm turn out as good as Paulson's, either.

Hold me, I'm skurred.
