    This may not be a popular opinion but I've always thought the ugly brown Louis Vuitton pattern is awful.    I wouldn't buy an LV and I wouldn't carry one if I got it as a gift.    Why would I want a bag with someone else's initials plastered all over it?   I'm a classic Coach gal.  Every bag I own is an unadorned leather Coach.

    I so agree with you but with a caveat I would sport brands that have my initial or initials.

    Cole Hahn, my first and last name and got loafers with CH on them

    Calvin Klein, first and middle and just got some cute CK initial sandals at TJMax

    Coach watch has a big "C" on it.

    and finally Channel, well just because... ;^)

    Sure, it was just the two of them out. Being unchaperoned made them so hungry they were photographed with eight pizzas. Those two are carbo loading before the wedding. ?

    Josiah heard there's good money to be made making Mukbang videos for YouTube?  Not a bad idea really but probably better suited to Josh because it combines his eating and sharing it obsession.

    The version she posted is pretty common potluck staple here. I don’t care for it but my husband loves it, so if I make it I don’t use cream of chicken, I use milk, chicken broth, and flour and some spices depending on who’s eating it. I usually do garlic and caramelized onions. But I know plenty of people who make it her way and have for decades. There’s nothing Duggar or original about this at all. 

    Funeral Potatoes. We've had pages of discussion of this variation and the many others.

    It was really bad.  They had a Buick sedan with ski racks in a chase scene that made no sense, flip phones with the little antenna you would pull up and an entire montage of David Hasselhoff finding the right outfit to pull off his undercover gigolo part.  

    LVP looked different-then it dawned on me she had not had her teeth veneered to her present day teeth.  She also didn't sound quite so British.  

    I guess because I never watched the show before I found it so bad as to be entertaining.

    Thanks for that fun episode. I think that was where Dorit (or PK) got her Beverly Beach inspiration from. French cut high rise swim suits were the bomb and I looked hot in them, at least I thought so...

    I am not sure where to put this but I had a lightbulb go off this weekend as I was rewatching season 2.  Bethenny is talking about Kelly (people didn't really know Kelly yet) and the book Kelly wrote and snarking about her not being a journalist etc.  I think this is exactly where the chef/cook thing was born in Kelly's head!  Bethenny was doing the same thing in Season 2 that Kelly was doing to Bethenny during Scary Island.  Minimizing her accomplishments in a snarky way to bring them down a notch.  I like Bethenny and do not like Kelly but it made me realize Kelly's cook/chef comments made sense looking at the history of the show.  

    I never thought B was a cook. She mentioned in an interview that she loved Costco for her catering events and intimated that one of the reasons was so much was pre-prepped.  We've really only seen her grill a protein with vegies or salad and there was kitchen help in the background and a mediocre omelet for her in-laws. She messed up a turkey for holiday dinner too that her guests figured out how to fix. Nothing has looked appealing nor particularly healthy considering that's her supposed expertise.

    So both Kelly and B were right. Kelly isn't a writer and B isn't a chef but man did they both produce a product that fit its time and that had good marketing.

    I'm a SAG-AFTRA (actors' union) member, and even those onscreen people who are not, they are being paid. It's entirely possible all are SAG members, and over five words turns into quite a lot plus lovely surprise residuals. But the extras (people onscreen), even those not speaking, are getting something, if only $100/day. I'll ask around. And TLC is definitely paying for the trip. Remember, they have to pay for a crew and some of the stuff (some is rented on location) to be shipped to wherever. So they're paying for the cast to travel too. I'll see if I can look up the reality show contract.

    Reality stars aren't union. That's why these shows are so cheap because there is a flat fee paid per season or episode and there are no residuals. There have also been participants not paid anything if the show didn't air which if in a union they would have been paid.

    She wanted to adopt a Korean child????????.??????!!!

     They are not souvenirs, Whitney!

    Years ago when Cabbage Patch Kids were hot and hard to find, I was on a flight from Korea to US and it was filled with souvenir (fake) CPKs and adopted (real) Korean kids. So many kids that it was sort of a surreal experience and it seemed like the adoptees were souvenirs.

    I couldn't figure out Fabio's either - it was unique, that's for sure - and, as said upthread and here - very "Star Wars-y"....my thoughts were that if any one wore that dress on any red carpet, the media would have a field day with naming that person the worst dressed of the evening.  

    Angela Jolie had a phase a few years back dressing in similar kaftans for the red carpet. She didn't get any worst dressed throwback but it may have been close to the time she had breast surgery. Anyway, I rather like a non body con option for the red carpet.

    I had to laugh, ahem cackle, hysterically when I read some of those comments that said if you can fold a fitted sheet you're a Witch.  Yes I can fold a fitted sheet, and yes I'm a Witch.  I wonder if I got on Twitter what Christine would say if I replied to her.  Hmmm.

    Martha Stewart taught me. Witch, maybe ;^)

    I thought each purchase had to be documented on video?  

    No documentation necessary. They do the live sales on Facebook (or wherever it is) as their preferred means to market and sell product.  They also do home parties and events. It just seems like a lot of work. There's a lot of stuff for sale on eBay but of course they have to pay eBay's fees when something sells so the live sales are more profitable but also time consuming.

    Fun fact: I used to work at Wells Fargo myself, but I was “displaced” a few years ago. (One of the happiest days of my life, and I am especially glad now that their shenanigans are coming to light.) I was behind the scenes in print production, though. I never had to dodge crazy account holders. 

    If you have followed WF in the news about their pressuring their employees to open fake accts, etc - maybe that is where FT developed his attitude about magically conjuring up $$. I wanted to think that “second mortgage” remark was a joke but now I wonder. 

    Sadly banks aren't there to give financial advise, they're there to sell product. A coupe of times I've worked with someone who can offer both sound advise and sell me product that works for me.

    - If he can't dress well, the least he could've done was groom himself properly. Meaning the hair on his head and his facial hair should look nice and neat. Does he do that? Nope. He looked like he just fell  out of bed, hang out with his groombros playing video games all morning then literally rolled off the couch an 1/2 hour before the wedding and got dressed. 

    He might have looked nicer in a traditional men's Mexican shirt that has pin tucking down the front and hangs loose. It would honor his culture and perhaps flatter his lumpy figure. BTW I had been away for awhile and the first time I saw FT I knew exactly what posters meant.

    I'm falling onto the side that they where already married or at least living together and made this wedding as difficult as possible just to be cute at best or a big FU at worst for the TV show.

    women know where their boobs are.  She knew. 

    Not true. I walked across the entire dining room of a cruise ship with one boob hanging out. I was wearing a tank shirt with no bra and a cross body hand bag that had pulled the tank to one side. At least I was in my twenties and perky.  ;^)

    With as much of this show being fake, as we know, I tend to believe that Buddy being behind on the rent is only another fake storyline. He probably doesn’t even live in that house, just as Twit doesn’t have a BGD class in reality. Buddy shows up there for work (shooting) and then goes home to his real house. 

    I figured since Buddy's phone bill went to his parents address and they pay it, he probably lives there and sometimes overnights with Ashley. The parents were also on top of his drug use which may not happened if he lived elsewhere. This show is about as real as Christly Knows Best, which is not at all.

    I don't disagree with you, Celia, Jill is entertaining and no holds barred. But... honestly I just don't want to see another go around of Team Jill vs Team Whoever Jill is Pissed With. And I think ultimately that Jill getting back on the show would not be psychologically healthy for Jill at all. 

    I thought if B leaves Jill would make a good replacement but now I'm leaning towards your way of thinking. I like a crazy RH but they need to show some awareness in the off season and on social media like RHBH Rinna. But Jill seems to be more like RHNJ Siggy and may lose any sense of reality without Bobby's influence.
