Perhaps what we are seeing is the result of having a TV production crew a part of your lives, where reality can be rewritten, the scenes reshot, and reality can be whatever you want to make it. You just invent stuff, and it becomes real. And the longer you do a reality show, the more out of touch with reality you become, until the whole mess collapses like the Duggars, the Gosselins, Bruce Jenner, into a mass delusion, and is obliterated when reality comes crashing back in.

The one thing about them using the catfish story in the show is if they present it as a cautionary tale to other women who are vulnerable to this sort of thing. Some women have been conned out of their life savings. There was a pitiful woman local to me who was on the news because she met a guy on line who talked her into selling her house and sending all the money from the sale to him so he could buy a house for the two of them to share. A lot of women are too embarrassed and broken hearted to report how they have been swindled. So doing a show on that might be a public service

I would rather see breast cleavage than Christine's camel toe. We have the show's producers to thank for not subjecting us to that

I'd like to run that portrait past some people who have never seen the show and see how many of them think it's Jesus saying "suffer the little children to come into Me" No wonder Kody loves it

Did anyone notice the back of the watch had a crack in it? At first I thought I saw a scratch, then I thought maybe it was really damaged. I don't think TAG Heuer sells that watch anymore, I was poking around on their website trying to find it and didn't see it. It's probably vintage. I personally like vintage jewelry for price and quality.

Lady Grump I agree with you about the cake.you don't have to go to a bakery owned by two gay guys who serve a diverse clientele (it's Vegas after all) to get a plyg cake that looks like it came from any Walmart bakery. But they delivered it to the house with such fanfare. Those guys are angling for a Cake Boss show of their own, but as bakers they are still in the bush leagues

I haven't decided if I will be able to watch the next bomb test when it goes off. I like Dr Pepper some but can't stand Levkoff and Cilona, especially after they put most of the blame on the women. Not that I ever figured out why Pepper thinks food preparation solves marital problems. At least she's nice.

The portrait was AWFUL. What are the going to do with it, hang it above the altar of Meri's wet bar and worship it as part of their church services?

The TAG Heuer watch is a bit over the top. The guy has 20 kids, they eat tater tots, and they buy him a watch like that? http://m.ebay.com/itm/180976311573

I just realized Christine's outfit during the cement handprint exercise would violate our local public school's dress code and would get her sent to the principal's office,

A "polygamist cake" is what you get when you go to a Christian bakery and ask for one. Either you get the cake or you get a quarter million dollars in a judgement in a discrimination suit. In other words, it's a HUGE disappointment

Sam is dead. He died in a plane crash in Nigeria and left Jackie $2,536,789,230. Jackie will share this inheritance with anybody who will send her the money she needs to pay the probate court costs.

Next week maybe they will make a huge papier mâché planet in the middle of the cul-de-sac and populate it with action figures of themselves. Because that's what they need, action figures of themselves. Or maybe Pez dispensers. Can't you just see the Duggars saying "oh snap! Why didn't we think of that?"

Meri: party at the Kardashians' tonight, wanna go? Janelle: sure, you taking caramels? Who's bringing the beer? Meri; Kim says her girls are bringing it. She wants to clear out Caitlyn's closet; she left a lot of nice clothes behind. We should ask Robyn, since she's got really long arms and legs. Kim says it's first come first served, we get our pick. She just wants it gone. Janelle: Screw Robyn, Kody's given her a new credit card to use at Victoria's Secret.lets take Christine with us, and tell Robyn she has to babysit.

I agree,Frank had a neurotic belief that the weapon would end the war. Which it did, so he wasn't nuts. It did end the war. I am still wondering, when Frank was hallucinating, and Liza appeared to him and said "you forgot about the first lie, the one you tell yourself." What lie is that?

I agree with you about Dr. Logan, she is really twisted. Totally incompetent on every level. It's funny yesterday I saw an episode of "Botched" (it's about botched plastic surgeries) and one of the patients was a professor of human sexuality Made me think of Dr. Logan, she, too, seemed to be a wanna-be porn star. It's all about having great boobs you know. And after getting her boob job fixed, she invited the production crew in to film her boudoir photo shoot. So there she was in ridiculous lingerie squirming around on a satin bed. it was porn, plain and simple. The woman is a pervert, and she teaches college students about human sexuality. What's Dr Logan's day job?

I was just watching the episode (311?) where the guy brought in the two-hand sword made in Solingen in 1628. And I noticed the expert who came in quite casually noted it had a Cross of Lorraine on it. I was surprised nobody mentioned that the Cross of Lorraine was a symbol used by the Knights Templar. Somebody should have called Scott Woltjer.

There is as so much wrong with this one! She's obsessed with breasts, and physical appearance, and thinks if a woman isn't built like a Barbie doll no man can get an erection, and she's a professor of Human Sexuality!!????and to top it all off she gets boudoir shots done, which is just soft porn. The woman is a pervert. And she's a professor of Human Sexuality. That's great: somebody with a warped view of human relationships is a professor of same. Whatever college she's working for needs to find out what's going on in that classroom.

I sure hope the next episode picks up a bit; this Desperate Housewives thing is getting old.

I dunno. Fritz survived the plutonium. The real guy that happened to didn't.

That phone call about the credit card was so obviously fake that Jackie hung up.

TeeMo I agree. Add to that the probably constant reminders that her mother was the only one legally married. Recall when she told the kids she was divorcing Kody, they were surprised?In a family with multiple wives and a belief that legal marriage is just a piece of paper, most of those kids should not have even been aware that one of the marriages was legal. Obviously Meri has made sure they all knew it, she was number one. Mariah was raised to think of herself as the only legitimate heir. As a result she's been behaving a lot like Mary I of England. Sure Henry VIII had multiple kids but she was the only one who was legal and she didn't mind hacking off a lot of heads to prove it. There is an axiom of family psychotherapy that "the one who is acting out is the only one who is sane." It's the rest of the dysfunctional family who is nuts.

So I finally got around to watching this. Oppenheimer used the word "bourgeois" when talking to his mistress and that says "communist" to me. My husband says I'm seeing too much in that. Only people I ever heard use that word were all Commies. Mrs O reference to Abby being a deviant is nothing unusual for the times. Homosexuality was still illegal in places like England. . Besides Mrs O is smart enough to figure out Abby wouldn't hesitate to bang Oppie if she thought it would advance Charlie's career. So there's that. What's his name, Callie's boyfriend, is looking very much like an elf. Is there a sequel to Lord of the Rings in the works? Or is he appearing in a Christmas special? Loved the wardrobe technique of the side zipper in Abby's dress to reveal she's gaining weight. I remember trying to get into dresses with those zippers. I was making a cat video, entertaining Lazarus with a laser pointer, during Meeks and his new handler's discussion of fellatio/blow jobs and realized I could never put it on Facebook so I had to reshoot it. Poor kitten is now exhausted.

I might be wrong but I recall the official family photo taken in the courtroom was just Robyn, Kody and their kids, looking like the perfect little monogamous family.

This show has two sets of fans, divided into two camps, depending on if they saw the "too beautiful too cook" incident. Those who didn't see it are still thinking this family is going to live happily ever after. Those who did see it are wondering why the women are putting up with this crap
