Thanks for the link. And yet again Joan can’t resist bringing John into it. Gosh Joan did we really need to know John would have loved going to Disney. That would get old fast if I was Chok. I just picture her staring out the window of her newly purchased Chok penthouse in NYC Joan: [sipping her evening glass of wine with a very self satisfied smirk] Oh John would have just loved this While Chok stands in the background grimacing with his dead shark eyes wondering how much money he’s going to lose when they sell the penthouse only 2 months after buying it.

So I think Dr Pacey is still in a Covid coma and this is all his fever dream. There’s no other explanation, the strangely opulent medical area alone stretches credibility. I think end of series he wakes up and we find out Captain Don is actually his doctor, nurse 3 way is his nurse and other guy who I still can’t remember his name is an orderly.

You are officially my new favorite person. Anyone that can drop a GG reference into an unrelated topic can always sit next to me!

I know none of us actually know, and we love playing armchair psychologists but I get the impression each of them is filling the “role” the other wants. He wants a hot babe that dresses a certain way and carries herself a certain way. I wonder if she will ever be allowed to have an off day of no make up, sweatpants and ratty hair (well rattier). The illusion is this age appropriate woman that is hot enough to parade around and be the envy of his friends. And I think she sees him as her knight that will swoop in and give her daily affirmations of how lovable and beautiful and desired she is and provide her an affluent lifestyle. I wonder if he will ever get to have a bad day where he doesn’t respond as quickly as she might like or he will face the wrath of what I will now call “being Pascaled”. Or she will pout and cry that she doesn’t feel “lovable” and he will have the exhausting task of puffing her back up. When you stick two self important people together someone is eventually going to have to give in. When she wants her family time and he wants to be somewhere else what will that look like? Maybe this will all work out but I’m skeptical.

As soon as Chok said he would buy an apartment in NYC for them I was like “sold American”! Her eyes lit up and poor Guy didn’t stand a chance as I don’t think he understood the assignment. LOL. Chok still gives me the ick, but I do hope it works out. The wardrobe department hit all the right notes with her this week!

It was an adequate ending. I read the book and it did a much better job at the end of explaining why Stephen believed her, the things he saw in his son and he knew he was “off” but his wife would never acknowledge it and would just cover for Jonathan, so when Catherine told him her story he knew she was telling the truth. There were clues throughout his life that he was violent and had issues with women. They gave us some clues along the way but if you didn’t already know the end you easily missed them. it really hit home when Catherine said to Robert you are more okay that I was brutalized and raped than the thought that I had a one night stand, was powerful and again explains why a lot of women just stay quiet. Even with its flaws I enjoyed the series. I was happy she booted his ass to the curb, what a spineless jerk he turned out to be.

Agreed! Someone up post came up with a “Men of the Mansion” concept, that’s something that has legs, put all these guys in a house and send them on adventures. I think the Men Tell All episode proved how watchable these guys are with no woman needed! C’mon ABC think outside the box.

And just like that he lost me 🤢

The dress did her zero favors. The sun damage alone was distressing, she has a great figure and can pull off a lot of looks and look stunning, is this really the best they could do? This just seemed a cheap shot at the lowest level definition of “sexy”. C’mon wardrobe department, do better.

I have no idea what this show is trying to be? It’s all over the place and not in a good way. It’s been wildly inconsistent and now a threesome with the 3 main characters? WHAT? I wanted a Love Boat type periodical and at times it leans that way but then we get this mess. It was a pretty good ep until the out of nowhere threesome. These people work together and live together on a freaking boat, and now they have had sex together. In no world is that not awkward and they have not set up any of these characters for this to be some inevitable plot? I may be out.

This ep proved we didnt need Joan at all. I just want a show with all these guys hanging in a house, going on adventures, cooking hamburgers and doing laundry. It was obvious that these men probably needed friendship more than they needed love, it’s hard to make friends when you’re older so this ep was really uplifting that way. And I think I realized that being tall, thin and blond can blur a lot of other things out. I think from afar Joan is a striking woman but whatever she’s done to her face wasn’t needed and continues to distract me a bit. I think she’s probably a nice lady and I hope this works out for her (I don’t think it will but nice to hope).

Color me underwhelmed. The first few eps I thought Ryan Murphy was finally going to deliver something sharp, that made sense and would be a tight horror/crime procedural with maybe a tad of the mystical. It then devolved into his usual mess and I felt like the back half was a different show than where I started. I have no one to blame but myself who is still holding on to my love of American Horror Story season 1 and gives Murphy chance after excruciating chance to reward me again. So now out of left field we have the evil woman haters club as the new “suspect” and we have to wait a year at least to move this story along and even then I’m sure it’s a red herring. Gahhhhhh!

I actually don’t think you would LOL

Observations Oh Pascal, you sweet sweet man. I loved his honesty, I loved when he shoed away the cameras in frustration, he’s a real gentleman. That said, I dont think Joan is sophisticated enough for him and I think he will end up with someone younger, not by a lot but I can see him falling for a 50 year old. The harsh sunlight was not her friend and she just looked weathered and completely out of sorts when he was speaking French. Both Guy and Chock just give me the icks. I’m sure if I saw these two couples from a distance I would think they were an attractive older couple but once we zoom in and I hear both these guys talk and something about their mannerisms just make my skin crawl. i don’t think Joan was going to pick Pascal. I do think it threw her for a real loop that he was letting HER go. I think part of the appeal for her of this show is that she would be adored, I’m wondering if it’s the real reason she dropped out of Gerry’s season, I do t think her ego could take all that competition. ultimately whoever she picks I predict it won’t work out. The geography is never going to work and even if they agreed to 50/50 split of time between families she will balk. I think Joan wants to be #1 all the time and that is compromise I don’t think she can make.

This times 1,000%. No one in her orbit thinks this work of fiction, that’s what it is, is suspect. Unless Jonathan’s mom had a spy cam in the hotel room with him and Catherine, everything in this book is MADE UP. How do people you’ve known for years turn on you so quickly, it makes no sense. This book is based on some sexy photos and the fact that her son did indeed drown saving a child - that’s it, nothing more. I hope the truth whatever it is comes out and all these people in Catherine’s orbit pound sand. Mrs Bridgecofts behavior after her son died clearly spoke of mental illness which her brilliant loving husband never got her help for and let her dies rotting locked up in Jonathan’s room? And yet he views himself as some avenging angel. And don’t get me started on the psychopath that is Bridgescroft, doddering around in his wife’s old sweater in a filthy house with bugs crawling on the counters and yet he’s such a mastermind that he’s managed to turn everyone in her orbit against her. and sorry Catherine but your husband is a whiny shit and your son is a horrible human. You’re better off without them. Geesh.
