  1. That bothered me a lot. Why does she have that need? And it's funny because last week in that dress I was amazed at how good Dorinda looked. I can't imagine pulling that look off at 22 in my prime. When I was around 22 I had my heart broken by a gorgeous player - as it goes. Many years later now but I still remember one of my "best" friends telling me she met his new girlfriend who looked like a supermodel so would undoubtedly dump him soon. Caroleish comment. I thought Tinsley was too harsh on Lu. I know that loon demanded the honeymoon suite and was a bride from hell but she's admitting defeat. I have am odd soft spot for Lu and am willing to throw her a kindness bone. Two times now and my 2nd hand embarrassment from Sonja alluding to Morgan in her tag line is increasing. That would be almost as pathetic as me bringing up a relationship in a post here almost 17 years after the fact, right? :)
  2. Yes what a frustrating case. To your last point and I may have missed this on the show. I am from Chattanooga 20 miles from Cleveland) and his attorney is pretty much a bad ass criminal defense attorney ($$) . So did he want us to pay those fees or were you referencing a public defender? Piece of shit either way. Ever wonder if people like the daughter watch these shows and go “oh my, that’s how I came off?” Or did she just high five internally saying her hair was on point. Because wow- it would be hard to come off so unlikeable if you tried!
  3. A few thoughts I had. Why does Christine consider herself a comedian? And it made me sad Janelle heartily laughed at her lame hilarities as I count on her to be the person that I'd make eye contact with across the room to diss with in solidarity. Look I've fluctuated in weight as most women have. The one thing I've never done is sported a mustard yellow blazer at my highest weight (or lowest for that matter). What the ever loving F Robyn?
  4. Yeah I thought this was a strong season. A part of me hoped they wouldn’t end up together but I think I’m glad they are together for now. So happy Bertie is with Chris.
  5. I 100% agree that he has no interest bc in his mind he’s so amazing. He wouldn’t be fun to be around because he is smarter and wittier and so damn adorable. Except he’s not. I think this is a first for me because normally I feel all family deserve a pass but even Mom and Dad had this “aren’t we just amazing and everyone will love us” but it felt fake and I felt a hair exhausted at the try hard of that threesome just in those few minutes. Plus just getting down to brass tacks of the modicum- why the fuck is he going cross country to find a girl? Bravo thinks we will care? Would have been better centered in Charleston with Shep saying “I’m a trust fund kid and have let my ego and drinking go too far so and going to see what I can do when I drop the facade” This? Hard pass.
  6. Right but all bets are off when you sign up for competitive reality tv. It’s akin to those people each season on Top Chef when pressed to make a dessert and in huge eyes and shock go “I’m not a pastry chef!” But you are aware of television and the game and how it works. So you can cut the bullshit and make a coat, Margarita.
  7. This is exactly how I feel about it. When we as viewers have no idea what or whar or why our protagonist is doing things it’s hard to maintain interest. They don’t need a full disclosure but at least a general understanding. I may have dreamt this but didn’t Yvette one time say she knew as much as he did? That makes no sense to me for plot development.
  8. I’ve got to think (and hope) the staff sees a lot better on a daily basis. Take Mexico, alcohol and the beautiful and fun scenery and no matter your income or background that combination can make for wild times. At high end resorts people don’t only sit around going “more champagne dahling?” in fake Brit accents. Cary is my favorite thIs season but I really didn’t like her talking about Leanne’s fiancés dick size (sometimes when you type sentences for Housewife shows it’s hilarious you’re being serious). There was zero reason for that and he’s been nothing but cool on this show..
  9. I agree. I don't know they do these things until I read here and then I have to laugh. Maybe he did and I thankfully never knew it but I never heard of Matt Weiner going "just hang tight my friends- Don Draper will slay you this week". I blame the writing and acting for me having zero reaction when Kevin's girlfriend was waiting outside. Were we supposed to go "she came!" If that had been Sloane I would have been intrigued.
  10. I agree with you. For me it doesn't matter if they're dating or at the altar- if she really loved Tody (for you) it would be about bringing him into the fold and not driving home how close they are. I can't imagine excluding anyone I loved. They need to break up.
  11. I wish the death was a non issue. Fully realizing I'm in the minority I just don't care. I don't like that it compromises most of the talk around the show instead of what actually happens in episodes. I love a good mystery but this is a cheesy and overly dramatic NBC drama. For me, it's not compelling or written well enough that I gave a damn how Jack died. I don't rewatch so please bear with me if I botch some details When Kevin busted in Kate and Toby's place that was rude. Prior to that Toby had been supportive of Kate's outfit and up for the night. He asks if the date is still on since it's no longer a double and instead of "yeah- it's our birthday let's all go out and have some fun" they give this total d bag "inside joke" of "wellll yayayahhh!" Exclusionary. Then the outfit BS and no acknowledgement or care Toby had endorsed it. Kate changes pronto. Now we are at dinner and Toby hears last she bailed on the audition. He as a mate was probably as excited and nervous and he wanted to know the details. And she had lied to him and disclosed it to Kevin. That hurts. And sucks. I am 5 months older than the big 3 (and single never married but do have an amazing boyfriend) so I think through life experience at some point Kate and Kevin would have given this up. Yadda yadda twins- when you say you'll marry someone shit should get real. My takeaway is Toby is not the one for Kate. I don't think she'd be ok with an us versus boyfriend if she really loved someone. He was second fiddle all night and whether he acted appropriately or not I think he should open his eyes and get the hell out of dodge. I loathe the adoption story. Why! Whether it's a spunky Michelle Tanner or Dylan McKay- no! The existing family dynamics are good enough! I kind of feel sorry for the character Beth and how she's written. I think we are supposed to see her as a sassy good head on her shoulders woman but it's a caricature instead of reality. I tend to like the actress and wish they could improve on her. One thing I'll say- whether it's that people are so moved by this and I am on the other side of the fence going "the fuck?" when I'm supposed to have the please let's never use again "feels"- I watch and then post. So there's that. Something they're doing is working.
  12. I thought that was funny too I found him kind of ridiculously good looking. But I often feel last to know on looks bc even though everyone was going on about his hair- to me it looks so similar to all the other guys. It was his eyes and just overall hotness that drew me in. Look my name here is after my dog (Knox) and even I snoozed with Ben's inability to stop. There is interest but there is overkill. By the way- mine is a pit rescue, black has in certain sunlight the sheen shows a bit of her gray, red plaid collar but she had the cutest....bored yet? Kind of like Fight Club. This is the first night. You have to fight. Be interesting! Im surprised at the attention to Raven too. Especially considering what I could not believe how pretty Kristina was. Damn! I thought she was gorgeous during Nick but this is supermodel level. ole Wells is the DJ on one of my local stations and he's so non-interesting at it it's unreal I like him and do find him hot but he's a real snooze fest. Let's hope he's better as bartender!
  13. I'm sorry I never saw til now but better late than never I suppose. I made Emerils Mighty Meatloaf sans the veal. A lot of ingredients but it was excellent.
  14. I really enjoyed that scene with Cameran and her mom. I like Danni and think she's an ace at coming off well on TV and don't think she can help it but she always looks like someone is holding shit or rotten food in her face. Even when spouting praise and positivity her face looks like she's smelling explosive gas. Shep was a real disappointment with the onesie. Maybe he should hook up with Naomie and they could spend their days shit talking about Craig while also exclaiming how amazing they are. For sure we all know school of any level is hard but her saying her brain had space or whatever since she finished exams was kind of funny- in the line of please shut the fuck up variety. She's so tiresome. And her nose somehow takes up more space each episode. Leave it to me to notice on the finale- but is Chelsea not in the intro? Too lazy to rewatch. She seems a main player to me and I hope she stays around. I like her and find her beautiful.
  15. I love to cook but don't really know how to do some simple things- specifically mashed potatoes. Mainly because I'm not a huge fan so never cared to learn. Well my boyfriend is a huge fan so one night I made Emerils meatloaf (another "normal" thing I never made and man it was amazing) and Rees creamy mashed potatoes. Yes- they involved cream cheese, half and half, and butter but my word I came off looking like a mashed potato hero based on his feedback. And I have to admit I thought they were pretty good. I do not normally defer to Ree but she did me right on this one. I also learned how to make fried okra (something else he loves) using a Paula Deen recipe. I was expecting a total shit storm as a first timer and it was so spot on I sent a pic to my mom. So all this rambling to say maybe I'm dating more of the "southern cowboy" and these recipes have served me well. Since I could read recipes for hours I researched both extensively and while I thought a much lower fat smoked Gouda mashed potato sounded great (and I've since made it and it was!)- if a food is kind of outside your wheelhouse people like Ree can be good when you're not trying to be sophisticated and want to please a guest.
  16. I think this is so spot-on. I think they are equally capable of being amazing partners but not with each other. There are the rare couples that thrive on "fighting" but these two do not seem that. They seem mismatched. I find Craig such a timeless hottie as an aside. Shep getting the frat boy edit is somewhat tiresome to me. One, because we are the same age and I'm knocking back Pinot as a single, unmarried on a Wednesday eve and I prefer to view that as the norm, but that's for another day. Two- Ravenel is way older and gets blitzed out of his gourd at dinner parties while screaming at his guests and knocks up a 20 something- twice! I will let Shep live and let live for now. Ya know, I really like Chelsea and find her visually breathtaking often but she comes off way too cool for school. I cosign the girl is bad ass but I wish she'd let that do the leading instead of constant reminders how chill and amazing she is. That whole "once I have to check in, I'm out" (paraphrased and bad memory) felt tired. And wannabe. Oddly ole Austen seems made for what reality tv sought out to be before it became a shitshow. He seems totally unfazed by it and kind. And Bravo is giving him a great edit thus far which makes me think he's too good for all of this. Gizmo for MVP.
  17. So agree! I just turned 38 and when I watch this I view her as a senior to me. I think in the beginning she said something was a mix of one religion and Buddha-ism.
  18. Omg I remember that one! Haha! In hindsight I thought it was more akin to knowing what a single dad goes through because I watched a shit ton of Full House on TGIF. Then I thought of Thomas and it all came full circle.
  19. I like how that show unreal has gotten such street cred. Isn't it a scripted show on a channel like Lifetime or similar? It's sort of like me saying I know a lot about being an ob-gyn and law because I watched a lot of Cosby show as a kid. Not knocking it- but the references to it always give me a good laugh. I'll just keep watching and not worry about behind the scenes. With that said Naomi deserves an Oscar, then. Because that felt real. I think they moved too fast. I'm not old-fashioned but all this living together and having expectations- just enjoy being young. It goes so fast! Yes be smart but enjoy the highs- like graduating from law school! Life knocks us down enough it's so nice to have support of those we love.
  20. It's reasonable to drink wine during daytime hours and watch FN. In fact this is how one of my best friends came up with best pimento cheese I've ever had. She watched 3 shows and they all kind of ran together and she thought it was one recipe (to this day we don't even know if PC was made that day)- true story! So pop the cork and snark away!
  21. Hence the high ego, sure. But that scene read to me like a woman who had been pushed to a point of no return and was unleashing wrath. It felt emotion not drug/alcohol fueled. And this is totally my opinion for sure. To the Southern Charm watchers ole Ravenel always seems induced when he loses his shit. Likely bourbon induced anger which I've seen very much in real life. Dorinda just seemed pissed. With all that said I don't think a delusional has been is the greatest of targets. Life can be cruel enough that sometimes its best to let it go. I'm grateful I'm not in a world where my friends are going to bloggers/the press/d list people to spread bad info but if I really sit back and imagine if they did? On my dogs life I think I'd kick back with a glass of wine and think "what tomfuckery do I live in" and keep my trap shut instead of losing my shit on a lady that uses Grey Gardens in her damn tag line. I knew Bushnell from her work but did not know her physically and I found her beautiful.
  22. I like Dorinda too but I don't see the rail snorting. I've never done it.....but from what I've seen on movies there is a lot of post snorting, touching of the nose action going on. Also, again going solely from the movies, it doesn't typically make a person an asshole. Up, energetic, a bit high ego and Really talkative but a complete dipshit who slutshames? I've never seen coke do that (in the movies). When D brought John salmon did he say her daughter used to be away at Dartmouth? Apologies if that is old news and i missed it but that bitch is Ivy?
  23. Me too! That is my age and I thought she was a contemporary. Maybe it's how she handles herself because she doesn't look over 30. I have never been on social media (and thank the lords for that after this) but my friend at work sent met her Instagram (which you can stalk even if not on apparently). She is just bad ass. She's skateboarding, surfing, golfing, fishing, shooting guns and the list goes on. Which all kind of seems cliche typing but when I looked at these pics I felt she was 100% the real deal and I felt terribly inferior. In a good/bad way. If that is what social media is like I can't imagine being subjected to the amazingness day in day out. Let me tell ya- in the state I live in she would be a guys dream come true. I said a small prayer of thanks my guy doesn't watch this show and hope he never will, haha. All that to say it made the Austen thing ring plot contrived. This cat has it going on and could do infinitely better (at least what we've seen of him so far). I hope Craig passed the bar because the (small Bravo world) is watching. Can you imagine! I have an interview for a promotion on 5/14 and thinking a few hundred thou would follow the outcome makes me want to shit my pants let alone my own nerves. I think he's a good guy who is incredibly hot and wish him well. I also think Naomie is great but has a real weird nose/eye something happening and am always surprised when I hear the words of her beauty. She seems cool as shit but hits me at meh for looks. Cameran is just crazy pretty to me but as they say beauty in the eye.
  24. Not Ben and Jerrys but upon recommendation I got Haagen Dazs chocolate peanut butter one time. Oh my word- I honestly couldn't stop eating it. So I would put it in the freezer and run back for just one more spoonful. You know how this ends. I felt such shame I googled "I just ate a pint of Haagen Dazs". I've never felt so loved and accepted reading various message boards. To keep on topic, I am not into eggs and have made this for Christmas brunch the last five or so years. It's very well received. Note for high class there are some not very hip ingredients involved but the end result is good! http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/sausage-hash-brown-bake
  25. Words cannot describe how much I laughed at reading just the words of this hyperlink. So much what the ever loving fuck?
