TexasTiffany

I wanted to like her since everyone else seems to. She went on to be behind the camera on Top Chef so I figured I was missing something. Just when I think maybe she's changed, her obnoxious self comes out again.

I'm disappointed in some of the outcomes this time. I wait a year for this show to come back. I'm all excited. I'm rooting for my favorites. BAM. Brooke's gone. Adam's gone. Jose's gone. Stephanie's gone. I still have a lot of faves, since I respect most of these chefs and love to see them do what they do, but dang it's hard to see them suddenly gone. Lee-Anne Wong was a jerk last year imho, and tends to be too boastful. I know these chefs are self promoters but many do it in a way that is more confidence with talent and the wins to back it up. Lee-Anne seems to be more on the obnoxious side of that behavior. This is the first time I've seen her win a battle and she ended up getting the highest score of the night. I'm happy for her for that restaurant donation since the devastating fires in Hawaii. She's not on my fave list. While I'm posting... sending out some fangirl crush for Shota! ETA: since Guy is going to be Guy and come up with nicknames for these chefs, if I were competing I'd want a kick ass name. Antonia "Princess Warrior" isn't bad.

First off, I'm glad this show is back. I love watching people shine doing what they do. Another plus is anyone from any background can compete and win. I have so many favorites that it's hard to watch any of them lose. After all the speculation about FN maybe scrubbing Darnell out of the show completely, I was surprised to see Amanda and Darnell's segment when it aired tonight. I agree it looked like it was edited so we got the very short version. When Amanda won, we don't see Darnell hug Amanda or congratulate her or say anything. The edit shows him exiting out the door. Gone. FN handled it well. Don't hide it but don't embellish.

ITA that Christine's first wedding gown was even worse than (on Golden Girls) Dorothy's wedding dress to Lucas that had what looked like construction paper loops on the bodice of her gown.

Maybe I've seen this show too much. Amos looks kind of like Kody. Maybe it's the facial hair.

ITA with all the comments of love and well wishes for Christine and David. I had to grab a tissue. Someone mentioned that it was a healing moment, too. It was great hearing the OG kids talk about how wonderful it was to have the family come together again and be the family they are. (without Kody trying to crush everyone's happiness) I also heard genuine emotional happiness that David's family is like the other half of their family they didn't know they had. I forgot how it was stated. David's family was out-partying them, lol. I loved that. Everyone is happy, celebrating their union. I would like to see at least another season of this show how both families are blending. (without the tumor named Kody) I laughed so hard over that! Thanks Janelle! Christine got to dance with her dad. Her mom was there. I also liked that Christine asked that all the women come up and dance together. Awesome that everyone was doing a flash mob moment. Christine recognized it and explained it to David. Such a sincere, sweet moment that caught Christine by surprise. Mykelti needs to stop sucking all the air out of the room. Put your obnoxious instigator self away.

Don't ask me "Y". (wink) I've always wondered how the heck did they come up with those names. I figured there was some Plyg name generator on the internet.

Robyn has to be so jealous.

I get that vibe from Mykelti, too. It's not about the truth for some (K, R, etc.), it's about what money they can make from a good lie whether it's a little fib or a big one.

I'm happy for Christine, too. She is excited and beaming. She's finally getting the wedding of her dreams. David and his family were great and having a good time, too. Christine's mom and dad were there. Really sweet. Her mom said she couldn't be at the first wedding so this was special for her seeing her daughter get married. I've read that before, of course, but hearing her mom say those words and how emotional it was for her made me cry. Christine said her dad has been sick for awhile. IIRC, he said something about now she's in a happy place. There are so many emotional healing moments here. It was strange when the kids were discussing what to call David. Stepdad or something else. So many wives and polygamist hogwash over the years but they suddenly find it weird that David would be their Stepdad. Call him David. Problem solved. Something I notice about David is he has a sense of humor. Kody doesn't. For me, that's a big thing. A good sense of humor is a quality. I don't mind that Christine is over the top excited. Every smile, every laugh, everyone beaming is another knife to Kody's kidney.

I don't understand Meri's thinking. She should have mentioned that big glaring truth that Robyn wasn't showing up when they did make plans together. It goes against Meri saying that Robyn had her back, etc. I would have felt more sympathetic to her sooner. If she does write a book, I doubt we'd still get the real truth, just the one she wants to spin at the time. If Meri had really been thinking, she could have used the truth as leverage against R&K at the time.

I thought Janelle saw the light many episodes ago that Kody was a piece of crap to be wiped off the bottom of her shoe. But, then Janelle will say something wishy-washy like she could still be friends with Kody... which I'm thinking she means a friends with benefits thing where they just have sex. I'm wanting her to learn from Christine's example that she could find someone nice that will treat her well and not be Robyn's sloppy seconds. Janelle really should stop telling us that she's worried about her spiritual marriage, too, since she divorced her first husband in the first place. She didn't have any trouble leaving the first one. Maybe from her perspective she's playing it up in case she can turn it into something legally binding that she's still sealed with him. She should stop giving Kody some of his power back.

I almost choked on my coffee. He spins everything to blame someone else. In this case it's Meri's fault. He said she was such a bad wife that he had to get another wife fast. What a wuss! Did Meri ask you to put the seat down? I really liked when Janelle called him a bastard. Too bad she's years way late on that comment.

Good for Meri. Kody melted down their wedding ring. Meri ditched his name.

ITA with what's been said. I'm really enjoying this show with the OG wives laughing and being sarcastic. Seeing Jenn, I thought she'd be annoying. Instead, she was a breath of fresh air. It's like she was the voice of the regular at-home viewer helping to put a fresh perspective on things for Meri. Plus, Meri needs a friend in her corner. TLC would make money selling "Kody-Hole and Crybrows" t-shirts.
