I wonder how tall Christina is too. I'm only 5'2 and I look really heavy in the 160s (size 12 or 14.) I don't start to look thin until I hit about 125 lbs (size 6.) My weight has been all over the place in the last twelve years. I have been as low as 113 lbs and as high as 169 lbs. It's amazing how different everyone is built because I have a friend that is the same height as me and looks thin at 145 lbs but I still look chunky at that weight. She had pretty long legs for a short person which makes her appear thinner. Anyway, Christina didn't look that tall to me but she definitely looked unhealthy before she put on some weight. Her face looked gaunt and you could see the bones in her chest like Dr. Now said. I think concentrating on strength training is good advice for her. I wouldn't doubt if she gets a little obsessed with it though because Christina seems to be an all or nothing sort of person. I really like Christina and hope she continues on the path to get healthy mind and body.

Where the hell are all the guards and what happened with a spork? Seriously, if the sheriff wants to fix his jail he needs to start by hiring more guards and training them to watch the inmates. Where are the guards when all of these fights go down? The inmates have practically no supervision. It seems like trading food causes a lot of problems in the jail so why aren't inmates required to sit down at the table while they eat with a guard watching them. This would cut down on at least some of the fighting. I did three weeks in a juvenile detection center when I was a teenager and this is how it was done where I was at. Anyway, I'm actually glad Jeff left early. I didn't enjoy watching him get used and humiliated each week.

You guys are going to think I'm nuts but I kind of loved Alyssa's hair at the runway show tonight. It was crazy big but I dug it. Her outfit was horrendous though. I also loved Zanna's green dress in the work room. It's was a strange night for me. Anyway, I liked Emily's outfit but that stupid wig was so distracting. I could even see the model's blond hair sticking out of the back of it. The wig almost ruined the whole look for me. I didn't like Asha's outfit but I think Ken should have went home for not even designing anything. What did he do with his time and what did he spend $250 on? His jumpsuit was so basic. I didn't like Kini's outfit but at least he tried something new. I liked the top of Dom 's outfit but hated the bottom. Sam's was pretty bad too. Overall, a pretty weak runway. It's summer, why didn't anyone make shorts? I live in Florida and no one is wearing leather in July, you would die. You might die wearing neoprene too.

You guys explained exactly what I don't like about the new show. It just feels like all the other shows out there now and nothing special. It's just missing the sense of mystery that it had before. I wish they would have returned to the original formula because this is essentially a different show. I'll give it a few more episodes though before I give up on it. Sadly I'll be watching alone because Mr. Grumpypanda said he won't be back. He hates the new narrator that much.

Reading some of your posts got me thinking about Zsalynn and I'm wondering if part of her depression stems from not being the hot fat girl anymore. Remember at one point she was into lingerie modeling and she was a star in the BBW community. She also had a husband that idolized big women. Now that she's losing weight it must be hard for her to become an average woman in a sense. Also, I noticed with the therapist she mentioned she liked having big hips and a small waist. I think in some ways it's important to her to remain somewhat big so she doesn't completely lose her identity. Who knows, maybe I'm way off base here.

Thank you for not making me be the first one to say anything about Melissa's husband. I knew she had a child but I just assumed she had a lovely wife at home. Whatever, cute family. I'm glad Rob won, I liked his makeups the best. Plus he rocked all season. I wasn't all that impressed with Walter's demon and I hated his possessed pumpkin character. I'm happy that Megan got to act though.

Maybe I'm being way too hard on Paula but Savannah is only about eleven years old and I think Paula needs to get control of her weight now before she becomes a teenager. Someone is providing the unhealthy foods for Savannah to get so big and it has to be Paula. I just don't understand how Savannah could gain so much weight after Paula's surgery. Anyway, Paula looked great at the end and hopefully she continues to help her daughter get healthier.

Zsalynn was getting on my nerves with her refusal to talk about numbers but I think it was a smart decision to shop around for a better skin removal surgeon. Don't get me wrong I love Dr. Now but he doesn't have the hand of an artist when performing this particular surgery. From the little bit we saw of Zsalynn's healed wounds they looked much better than what we normally see on this show. I would probably want a Los Angeles doctor too.

I found myself getting really mad at Paula during this episode. I think it's pretty hypocritical that she wants to teach others about weight loss when she can't even get her young daughter's weight under control. Savannah is a young kid so Paula still has control of nearly everything she eats. Don't keep junk food in the house, pack her a healthy lunch to take to school, don't get her fast food!! She's just a kid, she doesn't have any money to buy her own Big Mac and even if she did don't drive her to McDonald's. Of course kids will find a way to bum an occasional cookie from a friend at school but Paula ultimately has control of at least 95% of her child's daily food intake. I believe Paula said something about Savannah not wanting to be active because she would rather watch tv. Well, your the mom, turn the damn tv off until she gets some exercise first. Sorry about the rant, I just feel so bad for Savannah. It's tough being the fat kid. Anyway, I was shocked at how much weight Christina lost. She looked like a balloon that deflated. I'm happy that she finally got the surgery and I hope it improves her confidence. She really needs some major therapy through. She seems hell bent on self-destruction.

I'm not surprised to hear that Dakota is an addict. I actually commented to my husband while watching this episode that Dakota looked like he was on heroin and he said that Jessica did too in certain pictures. Anyway, I feel for Jessica's family but it's pretty apparent that they had no idea what she'd been up to. Why would a married man make up a story about having a relationship with a woman that is missing? If anything you would lie about not having a relationship. Maybe it wasn't serious on her end but she was definitely more than friends with that Jesse guy. Anyway, I miss the old narrator and I hope this new season isn't all about young girls who were most likely kidnapped and murdered. What set Disappeared apart from the other million ID shows was the diverse types of cases featured. I'm not interested in another Paula Zahn show.

Sarah is slightly nuts but for some reason I can't help but root for her. However, I knew the minute I saw her Clinton tattoo that she was a goner. What the hell was she thinking making it so damn dark but more importantly why would anyone want a tattoo of a politician on their body? Anyway, is it just me or has Jesse gotten hotter with age? I never thought much of him before but I thought he looked might good last night. His tattoo was alight I guess. Portraits are kind of boring to me so I wasn't really feeling any of the tattoos this week.

Did Cole really hire a professional photographer to hide in the bushes (they were in the woods) in order to take pictures of the moment he proposed? That's both strange and sweet. Maybe, I'm just an old grump but I don't get the big fuss over getting engaged. It's nice but I don't get excited over a friend's ring and I definitely don't want to go to an engagement party or care about getting an announcement in the mail. I know, I'm a party pooper. Stop waving your damn ring in my face!

When I first saw her I assumed it was Lisa's daughter Zoe because she looked way to young to be Lisa. It took me a minute to realize it was actually her. Yes, she looks stunning.

Someone else mentioned Nathan's girlfriend looking old. I noticed that she appears much older than Nathan. I would guess she's in her mid or late thirties. She's definitely not in her twenties. I don't think there's anything wrong with Nathan dating an older woman but I don't know why a grown woman would want to get involved with this drama. Especially a sweetheart like Jessica. Anyway, poor Kaiser, again he's crying his eyes out and Jenelle throws him in his crib and shuts the door. Does it even occur to her to calm him down before laying him down and maybe getting a night light? I'm not a perfect mom but I try not to make bedtime a traumatizing experience each night. Lastly, Jenelle was completely stoned when she said she was hungry but too lazy to eat. She's lucky Leah is on the show because no one seems to notice her drug use anymore.

This show provides so much snark sometimes I don't know where to begin. Why is Leah always running late? Is she just that damn unorganized or is she completely incompetent at everything she attempts? She didn't even look that high (tired) to me in this episode so what's her fucking excuse? I felt scared for the girls when Leah was losing her mind in the car but I'm sure the girls are used to it. I know it was naughty for the girls to take the cat but I still laughed at the kitty road trip. Anyway, I laughed some more when Jenelle's attorney wet her panties for Nathan and Jessica. I can understand Jenelle's reaction, I'm paying you to represent me not to make friends with my enemies. The attorney was right through but she should have handled the conversation differently with Jenelle. Calling Jessica a sweetheart was a bit over the top. Fantastic television for us though. I rarely comment on Chelsea but she's been looking cray cray lately. Her face looks freaky and disturbing. Her pumped up lips are gross and her makeup is so disgusting. Everything about it is wrong! She's a nice person but she needs help. I know a gorgeous woman is hiding under there, I just know it. I wonder if she's going to wear her full mask of makeup snorkeling on her vacation. I want to see her real face revealed.

See I don't think Caroline is a piece of shit, I think she's sick and needs help. While I don't condone abandoning your baby and treating your partner like crap I think it's obvious that Caroline is suffering from severe postpartum depression but she does love her baby and Laird. Plus Caroline was mentally ill before she had the baby so that doesn't help. Anyway, on an unrelated note, why did Adam have to hold the baby the whole time? Don't they have a swing or a bouncer? What about a crib? I guess it's not as dramatic if Jessa-Hannah is quietly chilling in her bassist while chaos ensues.

How nice of Karl and Javi to blame Lincoln's potty mouth on grandpa. At least they have their priorities straight, sweats on Sunday is shameful but a two year old saying curse words is perfectly fine. Anyway, I don't know why Jenelle would even take Jace for the night if she were planning on going on. She's so damn selfish that she doesn't even see where this is a problem. Also bitch, sit down with your baby when he eats! It's like she does the bare minimum to keep that kid alive and nothing else.

Carissa's doctor is going to feel awfully stupid after this episode airs seeing how easy she was played for that Suboxone prescription. I'm surprised she didn't make her pinky swear not to sell her medicine. On the other hand it was pretty stupid for Carissa to sell her prescription on camera. Anyway, I'm no heroin expert but I think Carissa was getting ripped off by her drug dealer. How the hell was she able to shoot ten bags of heroin and still stand? I know people develop a tolerance but either those were tiny bags or really weak drugs. I guess it's a good thing though otherwise she'd probably be dead by now.

Point taken, hell no I don't want to hold a bird or a hamster! Maybe I should have been more specific to Jessa. I don't get why she was so uncomfortable holding Jessa-Hannah for a few minutes. She was a nanny and I assume she's been around this particular baby before. Anyway, Adam wasn't asking her to babysit for an hour, he just had to pee. Somehow I doubt Hannah would be any better with a baby.

I loved Adam this episode! It's nice to see one of these characters acting like a sane mature adult. I liked to exchange about the formula and the little smack down Adam gave Jessa about the spit up. I also hate when people freak out about holding babies. It's's just a baby, it's not that difficult. Plus little Sample was adorable and she was abandoned by her mother. Just love on her! Anyway, I thought Hannah was a dick to ditch Ray and catch a ride back to the city. It's her fault that Ray is stuck out there for five hours so the least she can do is hang out with him and keep him company. I still don't get what possessed her to give him a blow job and why the hell didn't Ray try to stop her? Hannah really is mentally disturbed and has all kinds of problems with sexual boundaries. Someday in the future I imagine Hannah as a filthy elderly woman living homeless on the streets and flashing her private parts to unsuspecting people passing by. Maybe even offering the occasional bj.

This is exactly what I was thinking, anyone who has watched any type of jail or prison tv show or movie knows you get labeled a bitch for giving away your food or buying other inmates commissary. Is he really that clueless that he thinks these guys are his friends? I feel so embarrassed for the guy. I think there should be a $20 cap on commissary so people can't be taken advantage of (that much of anyway.) Anyway, this jail is a joke. Why aren't there any guards watching the inmates? Shouldn't somebody besides the other inmates notice that this guy Ricky is losing his mind and is a danger to himself and to the people around him? Don't they check to see if the inmates shallow their pills? Tami is an asshole. If everyone hates you maybe your the problem. She just goes around looking for trouble and it pisses her off even more that no one bothers to argue with her. I love that everyone basically ignores her.

I want to like this show but something is missing. I feel like so much back story was left out, like how did they meet? Did Krysten get Spencer into heroin? How long have they been together? How did they get clean before and why did they relapse? I also wanted to know where the hell she was for that month after she left rehab and how was she getting money for drugs. These seem like basic questions that should have been addressed. Anyway, I've seen some truly gross things on Intervention before but for some reason Krysten sucking her thumb while being shot up really turned my stomach.

The whole Ken situation was so strange. I think if you walk off then you should automatically be disqualified. I assume he was in contact with the producers the entire time and they were kissing his ass as usual. Anyway, his outfit sucked! He cracked me up when he said his girl couldn't afford court side seats. She did look like a cheap hood rat. The only outfit I liked tonight was Emily's and even it wasn't that fabulous. Kini's was ok but the jeans did look like Kmart pants to me and I would know because I'm poor and I shop there. Kini's attitude and ego have gotten way too big. I'm over him and his Kmart denim. I knew Layana would be the one to leave when she kept going on and on about how awesome her pants were. I was disappointed that she didn't have some ridiculous story to tell the judges about her magic pants. Maybe her girl needs comfortable pants because her fiancee is a professional soccer player and she travels all over the world to watch him play and she chose blue to represent the sky which was blue the day he proposed. It's really a great story in her head. Bye Layana! Lastly, what the holy hell was Alyssa wearing at the baseball filed? It looked like a half jumpsuit half skirt combo. Does she pick these crazy outfits herself? If not, whoever she is paying, really hates her.

Leah didn't even seem all that upset when she was talking to her cousin about the custody order. I think part of her is probably relieved that she doesn't have to get up early and drive the girls to school but she likes to play the part of the suffering mom. She's not even losing that much time with the girls with the new arrangement so I don't know what the fuss is about. It's not like her kids are being taken away. She still has them three days a week plus she can take them to gymnastics on Thursdays so that's almost four days a week. It's basically the same as it was just different days. Also, it was pretty obvious that she was high throughout most of the episode. Once again she looked like she was about to pass out while she was driving her kids around. Why is one kid in a car seat but not the other? Anyway, Jenelle pissed me off as usual but at least the Roll wasn't being abused. So she's been with this new guy for a few weeks and they're in love. It's the same old shit. New dick, different day. My favorite quote this episode Jenelle- “I understand she's protective of him because she raised him, whatever but come on give it up dude." No big deal, Barb has just raised Jace for six years. She really needs to back off because Jenelle thinks Jace should spend Xmas with her new piece of ass and his kids. Makes sense. The only thing I have to say about Chelsea is I wish she would quit wearing so much makeup. She's got such a pretty face but every time they show her I'm distracted by how heavy her makeup is. Her hair is killing me too. I would love a special Teen Mom makeover episode.

I suppose Charlie could be doing both. I'll admit I've done coke in my life but I've never touched heroin and I've never really been around anyone on it. Going by my experiences with coke, Charlie seemed typical of someone who's coked up just by his hyper and impulsive behavior. Again, I guess it really doesn't matter what he's supposed to be shooting up because shooting up anything is pretty horrible.
