She is probably putting it out there before she visits the Big House....

Was Kyle at Lake Tahoe when she was FaceTiming with Portia? I can't remember. When Portia was reciting the classes she missed, I kept wondering where Mauritio was. Granted, I wouldn't expect him to be home during the middle of the day but why wasn't he helping to make sure Portia was up first thing in the morning? I was also bored with Kyle feeling sorry for her situation in that she couldn't keep Portia entertained (or whatever). Kyle, you don't work outside the house; it is part of your job to help her stay engaged. Pick a subject to explore together. How about learning American Sign Language so they can have their own special language to use with each other? Or haven't they sailed the Med? How about spending some time really learning the history of the area, making foods specific to the region, etc. Reading books together, watching classic movies together, working on swimming, making an obstacle course in your backyard, etc. And Kathy's wreathes were just plain creepy!!!

Isn't that stereotyping a certain type of white person? Seems like it to me. ETA: I'm not watching this show anymore and only read these threads to confirm my decision. Perhaps I missed the nuance but Ebony didn't seem to have much when I was watching.

Crystal included, right?

I'm still scratching my head about the jealousy comment. Why? Crystal needs to head home and figure out how to help her daughter.

Sorry, don't see it. Guess I missed Garcelle breaking down and people kicking sand in her face? Bless her heart.

I don't even know what that means; is this related to the episode?

Wait just a minute there, Crystal's husband did something we've heard of. Crystal did not. Therefore, we are jealous of her life. *Jeesh*. Still scratching my head about the "jealous" comment. Yep, how about you go home and try to parent your child? So jealous about that one!

https://pagesix.com/2021/07/03/amelia-hamlin-topless-on-instagram/ I only see a very homely young woman. Her looks are quite unfortunate and she isn't doing herself any favors by posting pics on instagram.

It's not like 1950, it's like talking to a 15-year-old in 1950. Oh dear Lord, I went to USAF pilot training in 1980. Don't insult me like that. If you also served your country, I thank you for your service. But I'm outta here. Gabe won. I'm very sorry people don't like it with respect to consensual sex allegations..

Too funny. Watch RHOBH. When Gabe gets charged with something, I'll care. Other than that, consensual sex doesn't matter that much to me. When Padma tells me who she slept with to get this gig, I'll care. Other than that, this is a fun coking show. Padma is a flake. Gabe won. The end.

I disagree. I'd like to know who she slept with to get this gig. She really isn't very good.

Thank you for the spelling correction. I stand by my statements about Gabe and Padma. I'll pay attention when he is charged with rape. Until then, shrug. This is the food service industry in Austin, not Hollywood. Cancel Carl, you have a new meme.

As the Austin Chronicle reported late last year, on Dec. 15, the owners of Comedor, where Erales had been executive chef, announced in an email that Erales was “no longer with the restaurant due to his misconduct.” Meh....He slept with a co-worker and then cut her hours when he returned from Top Chef. *Shrug*. That is for him and his family to work out. Padma can zip it. Her ex, Rushdi, called her incredibly stupid (or something like that). Padma can really zip it. Look, women have slept with their bosses for a very long time. I would never recommend it (and it teaches those who do so about professionalism) but this is not a one way street. Hah, Erika slept with her boss for 21 years....

Kind of like a very expensive ice pack? No, not really. 1 HOUR AGO, SEMICHARMEDLIFE SAID: "But an expensive ice pack over most of the body. As someone who has had 10 major orthopedic surgeries in 12 years and rheumatoid arthritis since I was 13 (I am 56), I like the concept of freezing my whole body for 1 minute." I think we agree? You sound like I am wrong so please accept my apologies.

I don't care one way or another about Gretchen but I would like to see Jeana back. She strikes me as having an interesting life and was likable.

I promise this is my last post on the word "articulate." Last night my husband (who has some hearing issues--Mil Pilot) mentioned one of our local news commentators was quite articulate. I ran away before I could be banned but he meant the commentator was very deliberately pronouncing words so my husband could hear and understand them. Interesting to me such a word has so many connotations. Cheers to all.

I generally use the term to say Mr./Ms. X or Y articulated the Department's position to a Member of Congress (or whatever constituency) regarding XYZ quite well. I think my go-to term is well-spoken if I'm mentioning it. Some people are just very well-spoken; I always hope to learn a thing or two by listening to them. We need a new episode.

If Dawn wins, she wins. She has been given many breaks in this Top Chef competition. No question. I think cheddar cheese would be a difficult cheese to work with. I'm not a chef or even a very god cook but it seems pretty oily or something. I think I'd rather have and eat fresh mozzarella or Camembert or something. With cheddar, my mind goes to an omelet and nachos. That is all I got.

Please excuse my white ignorance. I think Eboni looked to be offended, so she was. I believe I explained I was the only female in a 1980 Air Force pilot training class at Reese AFB. 70 other men. Me. Only woman. Articulate is a perfectly acceptable word in the English language. My theory. Not racist. As a highly educated woman, she should know this. I only have a Masters Degree so I'm probably really stupid. Articulate isn't a bad word. Period.

Completely off topic but check out a Pure Barre in your area; the first visit is free. Your arms will get toned in no time (and I am a customer with no financial affiliation to the franchise) so will the rest of your body.

I'm not sure. It is a word in the English language with very positive connotations. As a white person I would not be offended if I were characterized as articulate and I don't consider the word patronizing (BTW, I'm not very articulate). Eboni does consider it patronizing. Since we are being honest, I hate the idea that certain words, like articulate, are now considered racist. Can't keep up to be honest.

I feel like I am watching Cancel Carl on TicToc. I think most people go along to get along; I was not aware calling a black person "articulate" was a microagression when the correct term is "eloquent." In asking Siri about the words, Keng Lee (Asian?) considers them synonymous but with subtleties. He believes articulate implies forcefulness and eloquent implies stylishness. I don't know. But I do think that we are reaching far to create conflict. Nice job, Bravo.

Not a good look when your lawyers fire you..... Over/under, more time than Teresa or Martha?

I am not a lawyer but I think they could go after her for income tax filings. I don't have any expertise in this area but I think she is going to do time. I HOPE she will do time.
