I think at one point it was said that Angela's mother was in Hospice care. If that's true, maybe she had malignant melanoma or something similarly awful that has spread throughout her system, so no need to remove the one on her face? Second point: why is Syngin also misspelling "sugar" as "suger"?!??!?!? Is it some kind of inside joke with them? I'm confused. (It's the way Tania had it spelled on the cheesetastic banner in Times Square.)

What about Stephen Colbert? I nominate him.

Cynical me is starting to think that maybe Robert's son Bryson is living with Daddy partly because the producers wanted to be able to feature Porn Star Granny.

RE: Katharine McFee - I kept thinking about how the two of them fell in love. That's a big ol' age gap!

I know we seem to think Mursel is a big a-hole about Anna's kids due to his cultural concerns, but I have to give him props for trying to read the English responses on the translator. He's at least trying to learn English.

Maria talks SO MUCH. I was running late to work today and had to shut off the Hoda/Maria show about 5 minutes in because she was giving me a headache. I wonder if part of the reason Hoda likes her is that she fills a crapload of time with her rambling, which means Hoda has to talk less.

That "book" is such a crock of s&$*. It sounds like the second author just went to Hoda's Instagram and plucked all the vapid fodder she had posted from there and put it into a book. I can't believe people would want to buy that crap. It's too much! It's like they're going way overboard to show these people as loyal spouses and family people. I don't care about their personal lives as long as they're not out there raping people or doing other illegal things. Spare us.

One of my very gay friends used to always be attracted to gorgeous women who were way out of his league before he was out of the closet. I started to wonder if he picked them because when he couldn't get them, then he could kind of shrug and do the "well, I tried to date women but they weren't interested in me" thing and thus had a reason to not be dating chicks and to be alone. He just wasn't ready to be out of the closet. I'm wondering if Tim has the same inclination?

Tom is actually pretty smart, not taking his conquests to his house right away. It helps keep them compartmentalized into the dating part of his life and not infiltrate other parts of his life until he's ready to have them infiltrate (like inviting Darcey to meet his sister over dinner). Or maybe it's as simple as he just didn't want to have his house filmed? Every time Darcey talks I think of my late father, who would have commented over and over while watching her, "Does she ever go to a museum or read a book??!?" I loved watching "stupid reality TV" with him. He would have tired quickly of her vapid chatter.

Laura's third-day wedding dress needed some magic from a great alterations person. NOT FLATTERING AT ALL.

This is what I see when I see Tim: Also I suspect the producers paid for Darcey and Tom to go to Albania instead of them going to the other Grand whatever place (which Tom was going to pay for) because they knew damn well we would get this drama-filled, snark-worthy fare when Darcey and Stacey interacted.

Yes! Another viewer and Primetimer up in here! Excellent. I'm with you about the team of unpaid workers. Surely he had some kind of discussion with them about when/how they would be paid, and that's not shown. And, yes, that comment the designer made about the 10K unpaid invoice was interesting, but it was never elaborated on at all. The big "reveal" to the fabricator via the "oops, I signed my real name" was interesting. I wondered if they would just come clean at that point and admit to all what happened. I wonder if that guy had to sign a confidentiality agreement?

No, there are at least three of us watching. My boyfriend is into it, too. But I'm with you -- it requires more and more mental compartmentalizing to watch and not think about the obvious issues that are to the demise of the whole premise.

Yes -- well put. What working mom gets a New Orleans brass band welcoming her back to work after enjoying months off while having a baby? TOO MUCH. I get they're not like us but when it's so over the top like that it just makes me feel resentful.

This and @Cammi's posts are RIGHT ON. She sees herself as having tremendous worth as a sex object and that drives her whole existence. She thinks her hotness alone is enough to attract an amazing, good looking, sweet, supportive, rich, International boyfriend/husband. She doesn't think about how to better herself in ways other than her physical appearance. Her emotional neediness sucks the air out of a room. In addition to some self help books and some counseling, Darcy would benefit big time with one of those makeunders. Calm down with the hair extensions, wear some 2-3 inch heels here and there, back off the fillers, etc. Less is more!

I had to turn it off about 5 minutes into the chat part with Maria after the big Hoda return. IT WAS ALL SO HEAVY HANDED AND CONTRIVED. YUCK.

Prince's "Sometimes It Snows in April" was such a beautiful, genius choice for that scene. Whomever picks the music for this show knows their stuff.

I agree! And how was he able to get that home loan? He wouldn't have been able use a fake name and fake home address.

Hairline is receding big time due to wearing so many heavy hair extensions all the time. That's one of the drawbacks.

So far I'm liking this show (still pretty new) but I've noticed some editing/continuity things like Glenn's hair being clean and styled with product in some scenes but then looking more like he just woke up in others sequentially, which makes it seem not totally credible (but what reality show really is, I guess). Excited to see more. Very interesting idea so far.

Did anyone see the episode with the warehouse that got fitted with 4 queen "bunk" beds? Might be something you think it awesome as a kid but as a chick in her late 40s, I immediately thought about feeling constrained in those spaces, trying to push my boyfriend aside to get out and hit the bathroom in the middle of the night, hearing other people snore, etc. Not my thing, but the college kids may be feeling it. Looked like it would be a pain to change the fitted sheets on those.

Did Karine really ask Paul if he had ever been to college? Is that really the first time that had come up with the man that she had married and been pregnant twice with??!?!

In one of the other chat boards someone theorized that all the heavy hair extensions over the years have pulled her hairline back significantly on the top of her face. But I would also say that, yes, she's had a starter facelift, too. But that generally screws with the area around your ears and heals well enough that one can't really see it.

YES! THIS! Does someone who is maybe a 6 think they are in a relationship with a 10 when they can't ever spend time one-on-one with the person??!? Where is the logic?

I haven't finished the whole season yet. Didn't say I admired her -- I'm saying that it may be that the way that scene transition was set up could be a sobering wakeup call to her about her role in that whole mess. I saw her as more complex than you all did -- someone who probably had to work her ass of in a male dominated field to get that job, and who probably desperately wanted to be part of a big winner (and a very popular Netflix show) and use that opportunity to catapult herself to an even better job/situation. Yes, Coach JB is a clear dick, but her situation is more grey than black and white, in my opinion.
