I really don't understand what Corrine is doing here, because right, wrong, or indifferent, there's little legal precedent in our system for her to get whatever justice she might be seeking. The defense will put together a four minute compilation of her history of drunk and/or provocative behavior and no one will find him guilty. Even if he did rape her while unconscious, the defense has enough on their side to create reasonable doubt in the mind of a jury about consent, and it's always the woman's behavior that gets questioned in court. I hate to say that race might be a factor here too (if I remember correctly black men generally get harsher sentencing in rape cases and are more likely to be convicted), but ultimately I think her actions will drive the defense if it goes to court. There's a ton of gray area in this particular case because they were both drunk, but honestly, what does Corrine want? She's savvy enough to know how the system works, and if she isn't, her legal team should be. That said, I've had a really hard time following social media commentary on this case, both here and elsewhere. She's an idiot, but has been vilified. Maybe he should have considered not drinking so much that his behavior would be considered beyond reproach too. Isn't what's good for the gander also good for the goose? I think about that with every sexual assault case I read about with a celebrity or athlete. In their shoes, I would probably never have more than one drink and always film explicit consent on my cell phone before second base. I liked how Nick seemed to be very aware of that in his season...she was a drunk mess and he enjoyed it to a point and then reeled it back in before things could go too far. It could have been respectful on his part, but also a move to cover his own ass. All that said, I kind of get where some cast members who are brought to Mexico and plied with booze have some false sense of security that producers will step in well before it gets dangerous. They're responsible for themselves, but they also have experience on the show and it's boundaries and likely have a false sense of trust. Is it the twins that rarely drank? They were a rarity, but smart girls, from both a personal safety and an embarrassment perspective.

It wouldn't let me copy just the third pic in the post so you get the beauty shot first, but Kelsey got walloped by a wave and Brodie (her man) just kept snapping pics ?? They seem super cute as a couple, just ridiculous and silly, and I like her sense of humor even more than her beauty.

Well he DID have his own hair commercial so maybe that's not a bad thing ?? When it's all humid and nasty like its has been lately, I think about the DCC doing their thing at Texas Stadium and can't imagine how they didn't just wilt to death. Just tailgating there was a beat down it was so hot, much less dancing too.

Heh, I see I'm not the only one on lookout for Christina. @DCCroutineFAN - I didn't flip through all of the group pics, but she's in Kitty's pic for sure. I was just like, sigh...

Not a damn thing. It's summer! A new season! Totally time for a bag.

Well, the difference being that police were actually called amid several witness reports and Tarek agreed to voluntarily relinquish all of his firearms for safekeeping for 30 days. Deputies removed five guns from the safe in their house, and Tarek signed the property release form. That's all actually documented. What I want to know is if he was wearing flip flops, because if the trail is dangerous enough to require a gun, it might also need actual hiking boots. If he was wearing flips, then maybe he did flip out. Either way, if they brought out the worst in each other, hopefully splitting corrects all that and they can be decent co-parents.

And it's so much smaller in person! Kind of like The Alamo :) Murphy has grown up a ton and has all kinds of new developments, making Southfork look even smaller. I have a good friend who lives in a McMansion nearby and I drive past it every time I go to her house.

I'm one of those people. She's enormously talented, but imo doesn't quite have the maturity to show the restraint the best dancers have in their toolbox. I think it's part of why she didn't get onto SYTYCD, though I also think that's a miss since they could have worked that out of her. I feel the same way when awesome raw talent doesn't get picked on The Voice, because isn't it their job to mold the contestant and coach them? If they're belting big notes too often, the coaches have them hold back a bit. Anyhoot, Holly just needs some maturity and time, and she'll be glorious and have a long career ahead of her. I wouldn't be surprised to see her back at SYTYCD or other avenues when her time with the DCC is complete. On the jealousy, I imagine some dancers like Jenn K or Cersten take Holly with a grain of salt, and less developed dancers very well might be envious. You can train for years and still not have the raw talent to be at the top. The showboating shows a lack of control, and she just needs to keep taking classes and exposure to other types and styles of dancing, and she'll get there. Refine restraint refine restraint.

Hmmm. How long do you think they'll stay? They'll need to break it into chunks so they don't sit in traffic all day. I'm not a big mid-cities fan in general, but Cowboys Stadium, Rangers Stadium (whatever it's being called these days) and Six Flags are all clustered together in Arlington. They could spend two nights/three days there, then head over to Fort Worth. Nice dinner in Sundance Square and dancing/live music in the Stockyards would be super fun. On the east side of the metroplex, there is plenty of patio dining and people watching...The Rustic has great food and is a great venue in general. Big backyard. Pecan Lodge in Deep Ellum for BBQ. Plus, Medieval Times if they want to go again. And more shopping than any human needs at Northpark Mall or Highland Park Village. Southfork is around 35 miles northeast of downtown Dallas in a little town called Murphy if they're old school Dallas fans. Call ahead about tours and such though. I also think Cowboys Red River in Dallas is fun for people watching, the circular dance floor and riding a mechanical bull. Best times to go are Thursday or Saturday nights. Gilley's is a beautiful venue but hit or miss. They can probably get this type of thing out of their systems in Fort Worth. Let me ponder on this more. Dallas has a lot to offer, but it's all centered around food and shopping.

Holly's body is bananas and I thought she was so cute rookie year. Maybe it's just too much eyeliner or the hair or something but her look isn't doing it for me. So many of her pics are a smirk instead of just a pretty smile. Sigh. She's 19 (20?) going on 40 and it just is a disservice to all of us. Ha! Especially for someone like me who turns for real 40 on Friday and is flipping out.

Oh, guilty. So guilty. I was full of WTF that better not be y/m/n bc Tasha has her issues but she's not a GD hot mess like Christina with her whining and terrible split. But tasha did have kind of a bad split during tryouts her first year. But dammit there's no effing way. I gotta stop having a namesake in camp. It's way too personal when they aren't perfect ???

Ha! Reminds me of how obsessed I was with The Vampire Diaries in high school. Read them again when the show came out and OMG they were awful. Some series age better than others for sure. Plus, kids today have awesome, long novels to read. If Harry Potter had existed when I was 12, I might not have gotten into my mom's smutty trash so quickly.

Agreed! Tasha looks amazing too but I'm way over the lemme tug down my bottoms while I make this sultry face pose. Robin's is so wholesome ?? They're all great but Jenna takes it for me.

He's a cutie with a ridiculous body. Sheesh. And almost a million instagram followers, so you know he's bringing in that marketing bank too. They seem very cute together. The things you learn by half-assed following The Bachelor.

I think any time you find the solution to your problems as waving a gun in the air, counseling can't be a bad thing. Especially when you need to co-parent. I didn't watch this show until earlier this year, and it was by accident. I just needed some background noise while working on a sewing project, so flipped on HGTV. I think they're both ridiculous and kind of deserve each other, but I like the show itself. Maybe it's just the contractors, Pete, etc., but I find that I like (and agree) with Christina's design choices, no matter how bland. I tend to fast forward through the family crap because I frankly don't care. I also fast forward through the awkward negotiation part. Really, I just want to see some of these crazy ass train wreck houses transformed. It's the same reason I watch Fixer Upper. The houses are just SO BAD most of the time, and I love a good before and after.

This made me laugh out loud....picturing a stream of hussified divorcees in sparkly vests and cowboy boots. I remember it being higher, maybe 27? Damn you, teen pregnancies. You really jack up my stats. Tasha is a great example of that ratio, tho she was an older "teen."

That make-up though...sigh. The lip color is the most offensive to me but it's followed quickly by the eyeliner and contour.

The location (far north suburb of Frisco and horrendous traffic to get there) and the price will keep quite a bit of riff raff out. $88 per month is less than I paid at Equinox but it's still freaking high. And I wonder if parking is extra or limited. Pain in the ass for stalking. Lol.

Can confirm. When doing research on the modern American mom for my last job, average age of the first time mom was 25. It's up two years from a decade ago, IIRC.

Oh man...a more innocent time when an awkward noise could derail a presidential campaign. Poor megan...that pic seriously is the worst.

Unpopular opinion - Tina's delivery sucked, but I agreed. She seemed almost matronly and her smile was awkward. I'm sure she's a lovely person inside and out, but I don't think I would have even taken her to camp.

Oh god, the horrors of being the manager when you have to deal with women who have the "I'm gonna need you to call the manager haircut." So glad I got out of customer facing roles before that haircut got popular, because I don't think I could keep a straight face.

This made me laugh out loud. During a product meeting today we were talking about marketing and using affiliates and I was like ugh, let's just ship some to one of the crazy Bachelor rejects that have 1.4 million followers. I've never even looked at Lauren's Instagram. The crowd around the table was shocked to hear of such madness. God bless. I don't think I would sell out my privacy for some bucks but good for them.

I noticed that as well, but the blue suitcases popped out at me. Haven't they always been pink? So maybe they're all excited for the new luggage too. On housing...I thought it got verified at one point or another that there's a bit of a short-term/corporate housing that's available to rent during TC? When it was in Valley Ranch, the apartments looked older and the right age. If the apartments we're seeing pop up look all fancy and new, it's because they all just got built this year and some haven't even opened yet. The Star is just north of Legacy West, and IIRC studio apartments are starting at $1500. For Plano. It's bananas. Or maybe the gals in TC just air b&b it one month at a time.

Speaking of JoJo, she just popped her house with Jordan on the market. You can buy or lease, friends! Great neighborhood, and I'm sad she'll no longer be my bestie's neighbor. Maybe my long-ago speculation about Jordan being The Bachelor during football season will come true. Ha! I kind of hope not, because they do seem well suited and were very pleasant neighbors. https://www.dmagazine.com/home-garden/2017/05/hot-property-bachelorette-jojo-fletcher-jordan-rodgers-dallas-home/
