  1. Jax has always treated Brittany like garbage and he always will. In season 4, we saw him try to get with Lala, lie about dating Brittany, and complain about her moving to LA for him; in season 5, we saw him say she's lazy and act like she never works; in their spin-off, we saw him insult her family and friends and complain about her weight; and this season, we've seen him cheat on her and blame her for it every time she tries to talk to him about it, not to mention all of the gross stuff this episode that's already been discussed. He's awful and she needs to dump the motherfucker already. The power imbalance of him being her way onto TV is gone now; she can do it on her own and she should. Or she should seriously go to school and get a degree in special education if that's her dream job. She would probably be a lot happier.

    Right. Selling your ex’s belongings at Divorce Closet is all the proof the judge needs that the defendant KNEW the item wasn’t theirs to sell. You’d get your ass handed to you by Judge Judy! Also notice how Super Rob—did you know he can hang a TV in 7 minutes?—made a big point about using Scheana as the face of the company but he has most of the equity. Stupid Scheana was beaming while he’s telling her this. Psst, Scheana, Rob has no intention of being your next victim—er, husband—or he’d be all shmoopy 50/50 over the “family business.”

    Oh my god, yes, it's such a stupid idea! The more I see of Rob, the more I think he's just as dumb as all the rest of these people. The fact that he would even date Scheana in the first place should have been my first clue.

  2. I don't doubt Scheana is right that Katie is trying fix her reputation this season after last year's backlash, but at least she's trying to alter her behavior, which is more than I can say for Scheana. I sort of had a soft spot for her in the earlier seasons, but after seeing how she treated Shay, I find her really hard to stomach.

    Brandi's stank face was making her look downright ugly during the reunion. 

    ETA: Also, that nasty face she made when LeeAnne expressed emotion made her just look heartless. I know everyone hates LeeAnne but Brandi is a bitch. She really got let off the hook pretty easy for all the horrible things she did this season. 

    When she was making one of those faces last night, I realized that she kind of looks like a bulldog.

  4. I know that I should be on Cary's side in all of this because Leeann has been pretty terrible to her. But there's a smugness and a melodramatic quality to her that's difficult to take. And I don't know how she can stay married to Mark with the way he treats their daughter. I hope they talk about that in the next episode. 

    The only truly likable person on this show is D'Andra. She should run off with her hot husband to the Alps. They can gather snow algae on a mountain and start their own skincare business, away from her mother.

  5. Boy, this show is a dud, huh? Nobody is talking about it. 

    I intend to keep watching because there's not a lot on right now and I want to know how this will all play out on Vanderpump Rules, but it is a struggle. I think the problem is that everyone in Brittany's life is just... normal. They're nice people who are too sane to give Jax the reactions he's trying to provoke. The "Brittany has lost her spark" thing seems like an obvious producer ploy, though I wouldn't put it past Jax to say all of that on his own, because he really does want to avoid commitment. I do agree with him: these people should not want him to marry Brittany and end up in a short, miserable marriage. 

    I guess it was nice to see Brittany's brother and his wife raise the money for their IVF, but again, this kind of story is not really why I watch Vanderpump Rules...

    I legit have never met anyone not from Western Washington who has even heard of pickleball much less played it. Next time I visit Savannah I should bring my pickleball rackets!

    We played it in my high school gym class in Wisconsin! It was a lot of fun. Hadn't thought of it again until this episode, though. Weirdly, the closed captions called it "pick-a-ball." Maybe that's an alternate name? 

    That scene of Hannah's dad in the bar was one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen on TV. Louis handled it about as well as he could have. Poor Hannah. Poor Hannah's mom. 

    I'm surprised by how much I've grown to like Catherine, who initially seemed snobby but has shown herself to be genuine and fun, and dislike Happy, who initially seemed sweet but has shown herself to be judgmental and joyless. And if you took a shot every time she says "like," you'd be puking faster than Ashley.

    I think there's more going on to Chelsea and Austen's relationship than they've let on - you don't do a meeting the parents if it was just a casual thing for both of them. I think they have BOTH played coy about their relationship, not just Chelsea. Which is perfectly fine. It's their right, and they don't owe anyone any explanation about the status of their relationship except to each other.

    Which brings me to what happened to Shep. He's full of shit, an entitled predator and he fucking knows it and he's proud to be one to provoke people. Whatever "signals" Chelsea and Austen might have given him about their relationship is completely irrelevant. He clearly knows there's something going on between the two of them, have slept together, go together in events, and have been out together more than he and Chelsea ever did, and yet he still went for it fully aware of the fact that all it will do is just piss off Austen, and not because he genuinely likes Chelsea. As a 37 year old and not a 15 year old, he should have the good sense to stay away, whatever his friends' relationship is. It is eerily similar to what Craig said in an earlier episode where he tried to move on Naomi while fully knowing she came as Craig's date to his party. Austen was at the same bar when he made his move. High road my ass. He has nothing except for money and pseudo-intellectualism. He has no decency, manners, and good sense at all. Give me someone who treats women as a person and not a trophy to win over someone who's read every book of David Foster Wallace (like he always brags) Chelsea had him pegged right that he's an entitled pig who had grown up thinking he can get away with anything and get whatever he wants at whatever cost.

    And honestly, I don't see whatever misleading signals Chelsea gave him. She said she doesn't want to get married, doesn't want a serious relationship, but at the same time said she does want to be committed to one person and not be sleeping around. She said she goes out with Austen whenever they can. So there is a relationship there, maybe not just your typical romantic relationship but she is with him. And pig as he is, he has no concept of boundaries and will move on like a bitch to any shiny toy he sees. I honestly don't see how this guy has any real friends except for drinking buddies who he spends money on. 

    And really?! "So? I don't remember." Man, that would really hold up as a good defense in court for sexual assault.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for this post. I was majorly grossed out by Shep's behavior in this episode. He was actually giving me Patrick Bateman vibes--saying he doesn't feel anything inside (!), telling Austen he doesn't have enough money (as he's told Craig in the past), telling Cam he can kiss any girl he wants. He came across as a disgusting, entitled creep. Maybe it's a bad edit, but we have seen him act like this before (remember how he reacted when Kelsea Ballerini went for Craig instead of him?).

    Okay.  I'm a little confused.  HAS Craig now taken the Bar exam in SC?  Here's those that passed in 2016 and 2015.  So, I suppose he didn't pass, though, I suppose he might have still taken it.  Or, perhaps, he tried in another state?

    I think he just took it this past February.

  9. I think the frustrating thing about Cameron's baby storyline is that it appears every season with no change. Have a kid, don't have a kid, whatever--just stop using it as a focus point because you don't have anything else going on. And I say this as someone who is the same age and dealing with the same questions about whether I want kids; I get that it's a major issue she's considering. But it's just not interesting as a viewer unless she definitively decides to have a baby or not have one and deal with how it affects her relationship (which we never see anyway).

  10. That Craig/Gizmo montage is my favorite thing this show has ever done. 

    It's nice not having Kathryn and Thomas's problems dominate the whole show. I prefer the lighter tone these last few episodes have had.

    She was pretty into college once they started, though. A good chunk of Kelly and Dylan's problems in season 4 was that she wanted to do a lot of the typical college stuff while he generally wasn't interested. By the time she got to Brandon, she was already more into being a college student.

    I'd argue that the theory holds, though, because she had a thing for John "Big Man on Campus" Sears right when she started college.

    Many thanks, AndySmith, for the video and the eye candy (I'm talking about Jon ... MEOW) but nope, still don't buy Jason Wiles as an artist - he looks ridiculous (is that a wig?!)

    I don't think it was a wig, because he had the same ridiculous long hair in Kicking and Screaming, which he probably filmed right before this. Maybe it was the 90210 casting people who made him cut it. If so, bless them. (It probably wasn't, given that they let all the other hair disasters through.) 

  12. I hate Sam. It might just be bad memories of season two, but he seems so smug to me. I've also never understood why people find him attractive. His nose takes up his entire face. 

    This premiere was a little disappointing to me, because it felt like one endless Quickfire (I guess it was). I hope having an Elimination Challenge next time will help.

    But like the business storylines, and the student politics storylines, I can't understand why they think any of the show's key demographic would actually CARE. 

    I know the writers were probably trying really hard to come up with storylines to fit their insane 30 episodes per season orders, but: yes, my god, YES. They thought teenagers were going to care about things like daycare and teething, and dictators from made-up countries? Why not have the characters do actual college stuff like throwing parties and having drunken hook-ups? Give them some angst about internships and choosing a major. Or use the premise of the show, that these aren't regular people, but super glamorous Beverly Hills people. Throw in a few stories about Hollywood or something, anything else.

    I can never decide which "main character catching on fire" storyline I find more ridiculous - this one, or Chardonnay on Footballer's Wives (that's a very specific reference, I know)  

    I think Footballers' Wives has to win, because wasn't it specifically her breasts that got burned at her bachelorette party, causing people to call her Crispy Tits? (I mean, even just writing that sentence made me want to watch Footballers' Wives again immediately, while I have no desire to ever watch this 90210 episode again.)

  15. Didn't we see a scene last season of Kristen calling home and finding out Josh had left their kids with his parents so he could go to the Hamptons while she was away? Jules was giving me deja vu with her call to Michael tonight. I'm just going to start calling her "Kristen 2.0." 

    Ramona's dancing was amazing.
