I can corroborate your soup memories! You're correct, Whitney brought up Babs's love of soup in either Season 1 or 2 in that episode where they were grocery shopping and Whitney ripped her pants. I also just found a (low resolution) clip of it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kz4gW6Rnsw

I think I spotted Naomie on tv at the democratic debate tonight in Charleston (to the left in white)?

Right?! They made it sound as if June is addicted to Geno, and that Geno is the sole crackhead in the relationship, when everyone on Earth knows that was a joint undertaking. June "needs to find herself" and "is so afraid of Geno" and that's why she needs "treatment." As if we didn't just watch her walk into the intervention higher than her "fat cake" bill.

I know this show is scripted but the producers/editors don't even care about continuity anymore. In the car ride with Doe Doe to her intervention June has all her front teeth, and then when she walks into the house for that intervention she's missing the tooth again. It's disorienting. And this is from the people who used to care so much about continuity that they made Mama June wear a fat suit in Season 1.

Steven infuriates me and I'm flabbergasted that Olga forgave him so easily for his lie about her visa. I love her but she is too easily forgiving, and thus Steven will never grow from his mistakes. I'm still confused about the lie and don't buy anything he says anymore. In episode 4, which I happen to be watching right now because I'm an addict, recall that Steven was complaining about having to ask the chief of the hospital for permission to be in the room for the birth. He said in his talking head, "If Olga's K1 visa was approved, we'd be in America giving birth in a normal hospital and I would not have to deal with any of this." So had he been lying to producers at that point as well? I imagine you have to at least apply for the visa as a prerequisite to be on the show.

So here's the thing -- I watched the scene about 10 times and watched each person's reaction. At the same moment that Michelle and Gilda are explaining that it's not a joke, Julia is waving her champagne, saying "Sorryyyyy" with a flirty grin on her face. You know, just like that entitled person who cuts a long line at Starbucks (but isn't really sorry and definitely doesn't take her rightful place in the back of the queue). So NO it didn't just slip out, and the only reason she blubbered for the rest of the trip was because she realized this exchange was so controversial that it would never be edited out, and that she's just obliterated her reputation on national television. Someone doesn't say the n word that naturally without some feeling that they're above you because of your skin color. It's not (just) because she's ignorant or always puts her foot in her mouth. She's the person that believes she's more attractive than her minority friend merely because she's white (why do men keep flirting with my black friend and ignoring me??!!). She's the person that is secretly shocked when a she meets a successful and wealthy minority (how did that happen?!!). She's the person that deserves the master bedroom! Julia said it because she's prejudiced (whether aware of it or not) and she needs to check herself. Anyway, she's dead to me.

I can't believe I care enough to ask, but did the scientist trapped in the volcano with Anne Heche die? I remember him being super chipper and cheery when he pulled Anne out of that crevice and then his leg was broken(??) and then he was all pessimistic and melodramatic while Anne was looking at those drawings on the mountain wall. And then Anne got saved by her daughters and I was thinking, wait, you guys aren't going to help the scientist guy? Did he die and did I just not notice? Why can't I stop watching this laughably terrible show, and when is Wayne Brady coming back?

It looks like not many of us are watching this (or at least not discussing it) but I need to note that the first 5 min of this most recent episode (ep 5??) was the most violent reality TV I've ever seen in my life. And I'm a reality JUNKIE. Worse than the worst fights on "60 days in," worse than the bloody brawls on "Cops." I had intense anxiety the whole time, I don't think my stomach can handle the rest of the season if it continues like this.

Now that you mention it, when I was watching I saw something like "This is a RocketLawyer document" across the bottom pages.

Actually inheritance rules vary from state to state! In Georgia, an inheritance constitutes separate property, even if it's acquired during the marriage. So, Chantel does NOT need a prenup to keep her inheritance to herself. Lucky her, because I'm pretty sure that prenup would be void. One scenario where Chantel could screw herself over is if she commingles that inheritance with joint assets, e.g., puts it in a bank account she shares with Pedro (and I can totally envision this space cadet doing this). In that case, the inheritance would be converted into a marital asset. Here's some boring legal mumbo jumbo from Georgia case law:

Megan listed her celebrity crushes as Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, Jamie Foxx, and Tyler Perry. It sounds like she spiraled into depression when one of them had a baby with his baby mama. (I'm assuming it's Tyler Perry since he had a baby with his girlfriend in 2014.) The language she used implied that she thinks the celeb cheated on her, and she behaved as if she was undergoing a recent breakup, eating ice cream, watching romantic movies etc. Btw, it totally thrills me that Megan has a thing for funny handsome black men, I haven't giggled out loud at TV like that in a long time! And I too thought the Kris's Anderson Cooper punch line was hilarious

I was definitely assuming Brooklyn too when I first saw the place based on the gates and the building style, but then there was an episode where Sabrina and Kate went to a restaurant I like called Adoro Lei (also in the West Village) and it appeared as if they walked there. So then using my creepy internet spy skills (as well as remembering a few other things near them such as a Manhattan Mini Storage and a Park Fast), I figured out the West Village building. I won't post the address in case Kate miraculously does live there, but here is the building on Google Maps street view: And I totally agree that they wouldn't be able to afford a BK apartment either lol

So this is going to sound super stalkerish but I'll blame my curiosity on NYCers always keeping their eyes open for good apartment deals -- I agree that these guys are really staying in a hotel and I also doubt that Kate even lives there. I recognized the surrounding (in the West Village) and figured out the building. No matter where I look on the internet, the building is often listed as a multi-family home and I can't find one iota of evidence that the individual apartments have ever been publicly rented out. I doubt that Kate, this relative newbie to NYC, knows how to finagle her way into a (supposedly privately listed) 1BR apartment in this beautiful building (which btw was officially designated a landmark) in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Manhattan. The rent for this apartment has to be $3000/month AT THE VERY LEAST and I think Kate is very capable but I don't think she'd be able to swing that price tag despite her modeling and fashion line. And she doesn't strike me as someone who would blow her reality TV money on expensive rent. I'm betting that these guys are either in a hotel or that the producers have secretly rented out the whole building for them but they're pretending to smush themselves into just one of the apartments during filming. And that's my conspiracy theory for the day lol

Never forget. I almost never agree with Ramona but heck yea I think Luann is insecure. I sense this because I was an *ahem* unpolished teenager and even though I like to think I've blossomed there are some self doubts that will always remain. Ugly duckling recognizes ugly ducking, Luann. However, I don't overcompensate by getting engaged to some dude I don't even know (and who's floofed half of my friends) and saying "IM GETTING MARRIED" every 27 seconds

oh nooooo during this ep I saw the preview for the "Tell All" and it looks like Buddy has gained even more weight since this season was filmed :( And interestingly enough it looked like Lennie has lost weight since this supposed breakup with Whitney. What is going on in that house?!!! Also shaking my head at Roy. Like others here, I had high hopes for him and I'm praying that he's merely ho-ing himself out for TLC's money. Which absurdly enough sounds to me like a better scenario than becoming yet another enabler of Whitney and another victim of weight gain in her house of horrors.
