I sincerely hope so. And if she is looking for pity, mission accomplished with me! I feel terrible for her. I think fragile personalities are great for reality TV.....reality TV just isn't great for them....and thats the problem. I think Luke has been on camera once, and he looked absolutely uncomfortable. I still like Caroline S, but it does her no favors to pick on someone like Julie, it just makes her look like a monster.

Oh yeah -- I think they would drop Porsha's peach like a stone if it meant keeping a real, bonafide star like Kim Fields. Especially if Porsha's romance went sideways.....

LOL - Yoplait = "yogurt product." Apparently Yopliat wants to be everything it isnt, key lime pie, boston creme pie, apple turnover, decent tasting greek yogurt. I'm guessing its hard to sell people on eating watery flavorless yogurt.

As far as I know Porsha never even graduated from high school. She attended AIU, which is an online for profit college that doesn't have any admission requirements other than a GED (which I imagine Porsha got at some point). There are numerous complaints about AIU being a scam college. I don't know if I would extol the virtues of Porsha's intellect by pointing to an education at AIU, it just seems like shaky ground. I also don't agree that being verbally called out is provocation that justifies violence. And to be fair, Kenya didn't call her names out of the blue, both were engaged in an argument. Porsha was giving as good as she was getting from Kenya and called Kenya a number of names too. So yes, she has been more violent than others on the show. If you agree with her being violent that I think that's fine, but I don't think its fair to try to pull everyone else down to Porsha level to try to justify Porsha's behavior. I want to see the tape of the Porsha/Cynthia incident, before forming a final opinion, but I suspect it doesn't paint Porsha in a very positive light if she is trying to play it down now. That is so shocking, I felt like that was going to be a love story for the ages from the way he fondled her butt in pictures, and the romantic way they held assault rifles together. Heartbreaking.

I know he is a Lord or an Earl, but isn't he like 415th in line to the throne? I'm not sure if it makes you a royal or not. But I'm sure some bank or financial services firm wants even a Lord or an Earl or any noble just for the access it provides.

I point to the drinking as the main offender in this situation. I know I generally have a very thick skin, but there are some situations where I'm sensitive. However, I know how to mask my feelings so if someone hits that button all they won't get any emotion out of me. But, from what I understand of drinking it might remove the mask so even if you know how to hide your emotions normally, you'll let them fly. And of course Caroline had just nettled her about her business plan...so those feelings of being picked on by Caroline were already there. Now you add some liquor, and someone suggests both that you are a bad yoga teacher (which is your passion) and you somehow aren't fit for your title.....ouch!

Well, I think Juliet sat back and took stock of things. Juliet has no problem taking a dump on people she doesn't think she needs, but I think she realizes that if she wants to advance socially in London its not a good idea to upset Caroline too much. Which is why I think, after considering that everyone she wants to be friends with (Caroline F., Sophie) are better friends with Caroline S. And if Caroline S. were actually to make it her mission to get Juliet ostracized it would be pretty easy, because Juliet isn't all that likable and she doesn't bring very much to the table. People can live without her, and she doesn't seem to have a ton of friends because her behavior alienates people. If she hadn't alienated Annabelle last year, she could have probably gotten to meet a lot of influential people through Annabelle. And then she wouldn't have to rely solely on Caroline S. If she hadn't alienated Marisa, that might have been another group of influential people she could have met through Marisa and Matt. But she managed to alienate Marisa. So, I suspect that after the conversation where Caroline threatened to "wipe the floor" with Juliet, she figured it was more important to try to keep Caroline as a friend and sweep everything under the rug. Except she spoke to Julie first, and Julie told Annabelle -- and now the cats out of the bag! But boy, what I wouldn't have given to hear that conversation, it sounds like Caroline really lost her temper, which sounds like a rarity for her.

yes, all yogurt can taste like watery, disgusting Yoplait if you just wish hard enough. But yeah -- that drives me batty, if you don't want thick yogurt stop eating Greek yogurt and just eat regular yogurt! Its like saying you want to eat extra sharp cheddar cheese, but you don't want it to be tangy, you want it to taste super salty and be in pre-packaged slices.....well buy American cheese than!

I like yogurt, I don't like Yoplait. Based on taste, and on principal.

I normally accept what people say when it makes sense. In this case, I think what Julie has said makes sense. It takes 200k a year to just maintain Mapperton with no profit. Its a beautiful estate, no doubt, but IIRC there are a number of estates that offer the same services (weddings, events, tours, visits) so they are competing with those. I think you would have to put in a lot of effort to even hit the break even. And it sounds like its 200k just for maintenance, thats not accounting for something major going wrong with the house. So on top of having to earn a base of 200k a year just for the house, you also have to support 8 people from the earnings of the house. Julie + Luke + in laws + 4 kids. You have to pay the rent on a small London flat. Private school (I imagine) for 4 children. And just the basics like food, clothing, etc. I can't imagine Mapperton....on its own, earns 200k. I can't begin to envision Mapperton earning a substantial profit over 200k to support 8 people. So to me, it makes sense that Julie is in this terrible financial situation. Those old homes are beautiful money pits from what I understand.

Juliet getting upset over Caroline not taking accountability is so rich. Did Juliet apologize for backing out of the birthday party that she asked Marisa to throw for her? And shopping around Thanksgiving to see if she could get a better offer? No, rather she did everything in her power to keep from apologizing, including to deflect, guilt, blame others and act defensive. Caroline's refusal to apologize is sweet justice, especially since Caroline apparently upped the ante by threatening to run Juliet down with a car and wipe the floor with her. Let me get all Clinton-esque for a minute. I think that maybe its all in the definition of humping. I think of humping as genitals in close proximity -- normally touching, but at least close. What I saw was Caroline standing over Gregor doing some sort of thrusting motion, but she was pretty far away. It sort of reminded me of those frat pranks (in the movies) where one guy falls asleep and everyone else takes embarrassing pictures with him. I don't have a great love for Marissa, but I don't hate her either. I've watched both seasons and I never quite got the hate for her.

I like Julie, and I want her to stay on the show because she clearly needs the money. And ultimately I think it was a confluence of things that caused her overreaction. Not the least of which was alcohol, which I heard makes you more likely to show people how you really feel. I think Julie was just as hurt when Caroline decided to rescind her apology -- which was a real asshole move -- but she didn't seem to cry or act out. So, I think she was already feeling a little hurt because Caroline picked on her professional competence....with her business plan, and than with yoga, which Julie is passionate about and she was drunk. I don't think she would have cried and carried on if there hadn't been liquor involved. Especially given the fact that all Julie seems to eat is salad, kale and balls. ITA about Juliet though, I loathe her -- but I guess every show has to have a villain, and Juliet seems so lacking in self-awareness that she seems a good fit for the role. I still don't understand how she is a stylist. 80% of the time she looks messy and unkempt.

I think its a law school thing like ChicagoRedshirt said because of the Socratic method. And I don't really think its a thing there either, I just think students say it when they are called on and they don't know the answer. Its universally accepted shorthand for "I didn't really read the case and I can't brief it." Some professors will have a policy about "passes" in that they will tell you up front that you can have one pass for the entire semester without hassle or harassment, or there are no "passes" at all (which is a little silly IMO, because you literally can't force a person to talk, especially about a case they know nothing about), or if you have too many "passes" it might impact your grade. Most of my professors didn't have any "pass" policy, but law school is already a judgmental place full of type A overachieving personalities. So, a lot of people are embarrassed by the idea of looking foolish in front of the class. And than there are always the professors that will do everything in their power to, as someone else said, drag a student for passing. And than sometimes you'll really hit gold when a professor gets multiple people "passing" and they lose their temper and yell at the entire class. That was always entertaining, because it was such high drama.

Well, he certainly got the attention of the cop who walked in on him talking to himself! Maybe he should ask that guy out! I would be annoyed if I didn't feel like the over, over, over the top acting didn't reflect an early Joker trying to come into his own. The Joker, IMO has been an OTT character, so much theater, especially Nicholson as the Joker. I can see a young joker trying too hard in his early years and settling into the adult OTT Joker later. I can't remember if Alfred was officially named Bruce's legal guardian. I didn't think so, however, even if he was Bruce could petition the court for a change of guardianship. Given the resources at his disposal I don't think it would be an issue, especially seeing as most the show has a set up where people in power can be "bought." It would be a fight if Bruce was opposed, but if it was Bruce's idea and he could show it was in his best interest I could see it happening.

I still hate Barbara -- but I feel better about it now because the show has stopped trying to make her a sympathetic character. That is the only thing that is better about her being a villain. I think she is going to end up killing Leslie. I feel like in the movie (at least the first one) Batman knew Jokers real identity as a low level worker bee for a crime boss (he had his name and everything) it was just that he could never really find him or pin him down. I can't imagine he had his Amazon purchases sent to a home under his name.

Oh my, I have to admit, thats a clever hustle

LMAO -- what in the world were you bidding on? What a way to spend an afternoon!

You can't assign these girls any logic. Logically, the only thing you should pack for the bad girls club is a potato sack and Wet n' Wild makeup. According to these any and all of these girls they are bringing designer, brand name stuff worth thousands of a dollars into a house where things are routinely thrown in a pool or dumped on the street. Or how about people invest in a good, solid luggage lock or masterkey lock?

I guess she wants to eat twice as much crappy yogurt? Or given her demonstrated mental capacity she may have just forgotten she already had another spoon. So, whats the hustle here -- do you pay to get onto the site, is it like Ebay where the site takes a percentage of the sale price? I feel like any site luring older people with the promise of $2.53 IPhones has to be hustle-y

What a wonderful way to convince people to spend money they don't have on crap they will never use. And I like how you know its legit because they come up with exact dollars and cents for the items.

Yoplait continues its legacy of annoying commercials. This does not make me want to buy your crappy yogurt. Please stop trying. An adult woman with a french accent who appears to have the brain of a 5 year old doesn't sweeten the pot. I also don't need subtitles, but I'm sure you think that's going to convince me that Yoplait is really, the hip, edgy yogurt I should be eating.

Yeah -- it was a bad choice. It almost looks like they photoshopped her into the picture. Her look doesn't really match everyone else's. Odd Thats some good shade that would be completely wasted on Porsha. Her brain would probably melt trying to figure it out

Yeah, it got a little Single White Female for a minute there. And of course the way Cat sold it was that Leigh was being stupid for not sticking with Cat since Cat is just sooooo knowledgeable about Paris and it would be helpful to Leigh to hang out with Cat......but then of course Cat says this isn't a competition so she isn't going to help Leigh by giving her a name to the point where she would rather fight in public than give her the name. Oh, and don't worry, Cat is the specialist snowflake ever. Did Cat ever tell you about that time she did everything better than you?

me too, I get what TLC was going for. And on paper she really should be likable, she just isn't. Its good to know other people agree -- because I didn't think my dislike of her had anything to do with her weight, but I felt so bad not liking her.

I couldn't agree more. I worked with a guy like this and conversations in the office would literally disband when you saw him coming around. I can't imagine Cat actually winning. I feel like they are keeping her around for drama -- she is just so unlikable
