Ugh, I hear all y'all about Brittany and how she gets what she deserves, but to me, it looks like a classic case of being in an emotionally abusive and manipulative relationship. Smart strong women end up in those types of relationships ALL THE TIME and it's really not fair to blame the victim. The way Jax is turning this whole situation around on HER and blaming HER... ugh, he's so disgusting! And the fact that Brittany's mom isn't trying to save her from this disaster of a relationship??? I feel bad for Brittany because he obviously is controlling her to some extent. I mean, think of all the times he's mentioned how he pays for everything and that she has everything she has because of him. She probably feels trapped! Watching this play out on TV and knowing they are still together makes me sick to my stomach...

I don't think they're trying to send a "fat burning" message. They are sending a "be active and have fun" message. And their kids will definitely pick up on that - seeing their parents running together and having a good time while being active. As the kids get older, they'll start being able to participate more in these types of activities - going on hikes and running together. Absolutely! Plus we saw in the first or second episode with the parents getting on the trampoline with their kids and jumping around.

Her kids are like 5 and 3 - definitely not too old for strollers. My kids are the same age and we put them in the double-stroller if we're going to be on our feet for a while. Kids that age just don't have the stamina to go for an hour walk, never less a run up a hill!

So I don't know if this is accurate, but it says Tom Sandoval makes $15k per episode. https://riothousewives.com/vanderpump-rules-net-worth-and-salary/2/ There were 24 episodes in both season 4 and 5, so that's $360,000 per season! And Tom Sandoval has stayed in his shitty apartment since BEFORE Vanderpump Rules, so there's no reason to believe he shouldn't have $100k+ to invest.

What was her list of things again? Because they only really showed her picking up the cake and flowers (which would have to be done the day of) and then setting up the party. Were there other things she did the day-of that she could've done beforehand?

Pretty sure I'm quitting this how. Haven't watched the last couple episodes and am not feeling any inclination to do so...

They showed Arianna talking to the guy in the tent... pretty sure HE explained to her how it's all supposed to work and so then she was telling Tom what she learned. It wasn't a lecture or anything like that.

Right, he specifically said something like "We were apart for 8 months and now we're back together and things are great, so six days is no big deal. And what did we learn from our time apart? Not to talk while we're apart and not to talk about what happens when we're apart." So gross!

YES! This was disgusting! It felt like he was saying he planned on cheating on her while he's away in Amsterdam! Gross. Ugh, I feel for Brittany, but she's obviously an idiot. I mean, she's watched the show - she knows that Jax is a cheater and a liar. She also obviously had a feeling he was probably cheating on her, otherwise she wouldn't have been so quick to believe the accusations. I'm so disappointed in her that they are back together. He'd better be in some serious therapy, otherwise she's just an idiot for taking him back.

I think I might be almost over this show. I kind of hope it doesn't get renewed because I have OCD about finishing shows I started...

Totally agree with everything you said. Yes Scheana is self absorbed, but she was almost 100% in the right last season when it came to dealing with the Coven! The only faux-pas that she did was talking to Katie about how the other bridesmaids were splitting the bridal shower. And then making a point to pay Kristen in front of Katie. THAT was tacky. But she didn't do anything wrong when it came to Lala - Katie was WITH her when they talked to Lala and Scheana gave a very LAME apology to Lala, AFTER getting the go-ahead from Katie, so for Katie and Stassi to come back and attack her for that was beyond low. And then they just continued to attack her for being a polite person at work and not treating Lala like garbage WHILE WORKING. They were total assholes to Scheana because of their blind hatred of Lala! And I dislike Stassi too. She thinks she's way funnier than she is and she CONTINUES to think that if you aren't agreeing with her 100%, then you're a bad friend with no loyalties. Even though SHE'S not loyal to her friends. And Katie became 1000% less likeable when she allowed Stassi back into her circle. Does no one remember last season when both these women were AWFUL???

You do need a gemstone to go through the stones. I forget which gemstone Claire had the first time around, but remember how she said she used the gemstone from Jamie's ring (Jamie's father's ring?) on her return trip? Then before she went back to Jamie, when she was having Christmas with Brianna and Roger, they gave her a necklace with a gemstone to use to go through the stones again.

I was dying of laughter over this!!! Tom's trying to spit it out this HORRIFIC information about their buddy Jax and Ariana is only laugh listening while she figures out how to do her hair and checks herself out in the mirror. When Tom finally says Jax slept with Faith, Ariana is suddenly "WTF!?" and paying attention! It was hysterical!

I don't think Mona was in last season. She showed up in the beginning of THIS season while Dirk was in Blackwing and told him to find the boy. Then she dumped water on him and he disappeared and reappeared in the car in the field for Todd and Farrah to find! Ken knows about her because he's been reading up on all the Blackwing subjects.

I agree - I totally could buy Jax doing this, but the whole setup with Faith just seemed so contrived. She waited until they were filming to blurt all this out? And she waited for a CAST MEMBER to come talk to her before she spilled the beans, to make sure it became a thing! I mean, maybe her and Jax did sleep together, but she definitely is trying to get her own storyline on the show out of it!

Totally possible!! It'll be interesting to see what he eventually does!

I actually think Ken had his own jacket. I had the same exact thought when Ken was putting on the jacket - "Wait a second, did he just take Friedkin's jacket??" but you could see Friedkin's jacket still on the table in the background where he left it. It also makes sense if you think about how Bart basically kidnapped him and dragged him around with her! Yeah, maybe they were kind of bonding, but it also might have been a bit of Stockholm Syndrome. Then because of Bart, Ken gets taken by Blackwing. He might not be feeling too kindly about the Blackwing subjects because of everything that's happened to him because of them!

I love Dirk explaining everything and then going "Did it! That's my thing now. Did it!" and then Todd is all "But what about Suzie Boreton?" and Dirk is just like "Well, I don't know. Ask me about the one thing I don't know." hahahaha I love this show so much! And now it totally makes sense why all the weapons are scissors since the boy saw his father killed by a pair of scissors! Clever!!

Well let's hope Arnold Cardenas isn't the boy!! I'm going back to one of my original speculations that the boy is Farson, who's currently with Amanda.

Does anyone else think the Cardenas boy killed his own father to stop all the bizarre things from happening?? He reacted pretty strongly to Dirk's mention of the scissors!

I meant, did any of the operators see it? I'm with you on the production value. I like a LOT of the CW shows: Arrow, Legends, Supergirl, Jane the Virgin, The 100, but this one is just not clicking for me. And Thea is TERRIBLE. I'm only still watching this because I have time, haha. As soon as more of my shows come back on, this one is getting dropped.

I think I missed it - did anyone see the message Jimmy scrawled on the floor?

But haven't the Cardenas been dead/missing for 30-40 years or something? Whereas the original Blackwing isn't THAT old, right? Because Dirk is maybe 25-35 and was in Blackwing. Or do we think Blackwing has been around long before they even had Dirk? So I don't think the Cardenas' kid could've been in Blackwing?

Didn't they explicitly say this last episode and this episode? Litzibitz said to her father that the Dengdamors thought THEY (the Trosts) had kidnapped "the boy" and then specified his name "Farson." And that Panto, her brother, was trying to find Dirk Gently who could bring back "the boy" (a.k.a. Farson) and help prevent the war between the Dengdamors and the Trosts. Then this episode we meet Farson and the Kellum Knights talk about how the Mage had them kidnap him in order to get the Dengdamors and the Trosts to fight each other. Did the Cardenas have a child? I'm thinking that their child thought up Wendimoor and somehow brought it to life. And maybe he's grown up and now he's The Mage.

Can someone explain to me why it's Captain Gallo and Ms. Medani? Why don't they use her rank?
