Almost 3000

I've had four pure breed puppies from local breeders but the last three dogs have been 2 (ish) year old pound dogs. The puppies were TONS more work then the two year olds. Puppies are work and if you don't put the effort into them you will end up with a dog with issues that you didn't want in a rescue dog in the first place. I've also seen many sets of puppies purchased at the same time be pretty aggressive because the owners felt that since there were two they didn't bother to socialize them. Heather seems like the type to spend money to seemly do it right and the dogs still won't be what she wants because, well they're dogs. Its probably a good bet the dogs won't be there in 18 months to 2 years anyway, if they last that long and make it into the new Dubrow seaside mansion.

@JAYJAY1979 ~ Bethenny got her own show so she really didn't quit, she just never returned and of course didn't invite Jill either. @stcroix ~ I thought Jill's style vastly improved when she got rid of her gay husband, stylist and Zarin fabric designer buddy. Boy was his esthetic old lady who lunch. I still chuckle when I think of that horrid suit she wore to look at apartments with Bethenny.

What I find odd about the Dina Caroline feud (or whatever) is that it is STILL going on. Seems like much more then simple jealousy over who sided with who or did or didn't leave the show.

Now that to me is the big mystery.

Jill didn't buy the house that Derrick and she are living in. It was one of JB's purchases and actually shown on the show as one of the houses all the kids helped clean out. Its known as the "kitten or cat house" because they found them inside when they were cleaning. Nice house, Jill scored! I think JB probably let them rent it because he knew Jill would be a great caretaker and Derrick could afford the monthly rent. Score for JB...

Don't care for them as a couple and hope they mature enough to make it work because right now they don't seem like a good match. I'm not interested enough to watch so yes bored is a good word to describe it.

We don't yet know what's true. Sherri contracted and paid for a baby with her spouse and a surrogate. So currently it appears she has responsibility to this child. How it plays in court remains to be seen.

Yes, I've said this from the very beginning. I thought it was one of the dumbest things Oprah ever did was buying a station that NO ONE had on their cable. What was she thinking.

Definitely fired.

I just searched Amazon and eBay for MOB dresses and there are lots of t-shirt type tops or V-neck with jacket options. In fact its kind of the norm. Most are under $150 so affordable too. But if she did wear Kelly's dress I kinda admire that because for many of these families the cost of a fancy dress would be a hardship and I like that Michelle doesn't seem to spend a lot on her clothes. That said, the necklace was out of character for her.

I thought when they started the finesse studio and they were interviewing that other gym Tamra said she had $70-80,000 to invest and wanted to know if that was enough. If true the floor was a huge mistake and almost half their budget. On the other hand Tamra gave talking heads several times on how she wasn't into setting up the gym and that was Eddie's job because she supplied the start up money. Dumb ass...

Fuck Buddy?

I always thought Jill the narc of the group but gotta say she's become one of my favorites and seems to have grown into a capable woman. Where she takes that remains to be seen but Derrick appears like he will help her along the way as she will him.

She's probably just finally ready to let go of the dream that house was to her. That and maybe finally not be upside down on the mortgage, being divorced, kids living in different cities so no family using that great backyard and finally having an iffy SO that isn't contributing to the expenses. I'd say its financially probably a wise decision that was a long time coming.

Maybe Sherri is FINALLY listening to people who are trying to help her.

I wandered over to WETV to see if I could find the final episode with Gretchen and Slade. There is 6 episodes with G&S on season one but the site is featuring season 2. It confused me because I thought G&S were on the current season 2. Anyway, I don't care enough to search further... edit to add: I just figured it out their season is called Marriage Bootcamp, Reality Stars.

~ Its been pretty well established that reality participants get nothing after their initial payment. Residuals are pretty much an actors/extras/etc union thing.

I can actually buy that. Its all just so sad because there's a good possibility that no one now really wants this baby including the surrogate. As I've said before I'm fascinated with how this will all play out and if it will have any effect on our current laws. Even though I want the scoop on what's going down I hope Sherri remains silent because she's so dumb its just better for all concerned.

I've always liked Lisa but she has finally lost her luster for me this past season. She now sadly just seems old and tired. I'm only reluctantly interested to see the return of BH wives and I while on one hand I wish the franchise did it more often I was disappointed with the return of OC Laurie. That was just painfully dumb and transparently production driven so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Adrienne, Camille and Taylor can bring something fresh and real this season. If its only updates of their lives that's just fine with me and as long as its not fake drama I'm in. I'd actually like real proof that Lisa sold (or traded) stories and got good press because of it because it would make her more interesting and at least it wouldn't be a fake threesome during a business trip like OC Laurie tried to pitch. It really bears repeating, boy was that dumb. Stop, just stop Bravo with such nonsense because its painful to watch and insulting to your viewers.

@alexa Yes, those ARE the after pixs. ...eek is right! If it was a show about only using reclaimed or found objects I still wouldn't be impressed but that they actually paid for that junk boggles my mind.

I like those @LuckyBitch suggestions! Frankly Whoppi doesn't bother me in the least BUT the posters who continually called Kandi Burruss, Khandi made me completely nuts. So go figure...

I won't watch for the same reason. I felt a bit sorry for Paul's participation with Terry because I don't sense the same flip attitude to his patients.

I read his reviews when I first heard this couple was going to be on the show and that he also pushed (bullied) Heather to sign on by not speaking to her and I imagine probably more. So while watching him my opinion has always been colored by this info and I can't stand him. Heather seems very complicit too and that new house smacks of being built with tainted money.

and these are the discussions that will keep me glued to this forum. The Anna Nicole family vs Larry Daddy trial was the last time I remember custody and its outcome being so interesting.

She does seem happy and secure in her life. I'm content to see how it plays out.
