I truly will be interested to hear what others think of Season 2. I am midway through Episode 6 and have to say Season 2, so far, is a fail for me compared to Season 1. I don't know if there are different writers, directors . . . what it is, but I am really disappointed so far. Even the acting (even though there are the same actors) seems "off" to me this season. Really disappointed because I absolutely loved Season 1 and was so looking forward to 2. Maybe someone can more succinctly express what I am trying to say (if anyone agrees with me, that is).

Denzel directing = Excellent episode . . . enough said

I don't know why the hell I continue to watch -- just one question . . . as has been asked many times before by many people -- just how the fuck old are these people???? I realize this is a t.v. show and there has to be "drama" but this episode was just ridiculous!!!

Yeah, he is a smooth talker but he did kind of make sense with a lot of stuff he was talking about. I know, just for me personally because I am so friggin' stubborn, I would NOT show any of my medical records to anyone trying to prove whether I had an illness or not. I think you are right, though, nc socialworker, the more this is dragged out, the more money he makes -- one way or the other.

I can't believe I'm about to admit two things right now -- one, I watched the whole E! interview and am kind of swayed in my thinking . . . not all the way to the Brooks side, but more towards the middle, I guess. Running away now!

Just based on tonight's episode & previews (i.e., Mark telling her she is not to touch the car window -- although, of course, that may have been shown out of context -- I have a differing opinion of this guy. I think he is going to end up being a super control freak who has chosen this "baby" (she is just a baby to me, at 19) to control, etc. I can just see the rules he's going to have for her as far as what her duties etc. I would hazard a guess that this is what happened with his first marriage. He said she wanted her independence -- I bet she just wanted her freedom.

Yeah -- I caught that & was like, oh shit, no!!! I really cannot believe Giuduce said that -- think this is going to set the family dynamics back again, unfortunately.

I probably missed this somewhere but is CCB no longer on The View? I am watching today for the first time in awhile and noticed that she is not listed in the opening . . . again, sorry if this has already been talked about.

I missed it -- what happened with that engaged couple that he surprised @ their engagement dinner? Did they decide not to do the challenge to win the trip? I came back and they were on the thing with the party planning.

Oh,, AnnA -- you and I would so be friends in real life -- LOL

Jeff posted this on FB: My hangover today is crippling. ‪#‎whoopitup‬ ‪#‎gag‬ LOL

That Jeff Lewis was, indeed, pretty drunk . . . I have seen him a couple different times on different tv shows like that. It's kind of funny to see him like that but would imagine it could wear on you if you lived with him . . . depending on how often.

I am going to apologize in advance of this post and note that I have only gotten through the first two pages so I don't know if anyone has said anything about this in subsequent posts -- but can we please not use the 'urnthony' name? I admit I am probably really super sensitive to this but having come home to find my fiance dead on our bedroom floor a few year ago, and subsequently cremated, this really bothered me for some reason . . . again, I am sorry if I am causing trouble or offending anyone but it really just seemed super disrespectful. I am the first one to jump on the snark train but giving nicknames to the deceased or to children (i.e. the TM2 posts referring to the babies) just gets to me.e I know that part of the reason for my sensitivity is his birthday is coming up in a few days -- so, again, sorry for -- well, whatever

Well, all I can say is thank goodness Whoopi has given us all closure on the Bill Cosby matter -- I am sure the 50+ women raped/violated by him feel totally vindicated and relieved tonight since Whoopi finally has determined that they, indeed, were raped/violated. Bill Cosby certainly has now received the proper punishment for his crime(s) since Whoopi has stated that he is a serial rapist and told him to either talk or shut up -- poor Mrs. Cosby, who is probably at this very minute consulting with a divorce lawyer, after all these years because Whoopi has said her husband is a serial rapist . . . The world is right again -- thank you much oh mighty Whoopi!!!!!

AnnA -- I really hope we are wrong but I strongly felt the same way watching tonight -- between editing and no tears, etc. I would hate to think Vicki/Bravo would stoop that low. Also, I caught most of WWHL tonight I thought but didn't see Vicki . . .

I know it's been said already but seriously think it bears repeating -- WTF is that coward Josh? A grown-ass man who supposedly committed some bad mistakes when he was just a kid lets his Mama & Papa & then two of his sisters who he molested speak for him -- I can't even express the disgust I feel for him right now. The girls, at times, repeated verbatim what their parents had said . . . sad, just really, really sad. And I also thought it was very strange that Jessa did absolutely nothing to comfort Jill when she was crying -- maybe I'm wrong and thinking of the wrong sisters but I thought they had been physically affectionate with each other -- here, Jessa did nothing, not even a hand out to her sister . . . I've been thinking about this issue a lot (as I know a lot of us have) lately & I think the point the Duggars, Fox, etc., are missing is part of the reason -- and a big reason for me, personally -- this has upset so many and triggered such a strong reaction is that they took it upon themselves to judge other people's lifestyles, i.e., Michele's robocalls, Josh's position with FRC, etc. -- who the hell do they think they are, seriously!!!! But we should all, including the media, just forget all about the fact that their son committed unspeakable acts on their daughters -- talk about glass houses . . . And just one more thing -- it's seems very strange to me how they were not aware of anything happening at all yet could give statements about what happened and knew that it was subtle.

Oh blueeyed, I am so very, very sorry -- there is absolutely nothing I can say to you -- I can't even imagine the pain you are going through. If something happened to my daughter (who is grown) I don't know how I would deal with it. Just know my thoughts are with you -- I wish there was something I could do . . .

I posted much earlier on . . . and I honestly do not know why this is bothering me so much -- well, Ilguess part of it was I was, too, molested @ 9 years of age by my grandfather, but thought I had gotten over it. But what is really, really bothering me right now -- and maybe it is not a valid point -- but the fact that those (and God I want to say some really bad words right now) people who dare call themselves parents, i.e., Jim Bob & Michele -- after knowing what their son had done -- AFTER knowing, still got on tv and said all that shit about you cant do this but we can, i..e., the mini-golf show. They constantly shove sex down their kids throats but at the same time tell them it is wrong -- and especially tell the girls, you are wrong -- BUT fuck (I am so sorry for that term but I am just really pissed off no) if it aint cute when Mama Michele was in a bikini mowing the lawn and she & Jim Bob just kissed and kissed and fucked and fucked and turned out baby after baby after baby after baby and took absolutely no responsibility for those children . . how DARE they make their older daughters take care of their children. I am so sorry if I have offended anyone but it has just all come to a head for me for some reason right now . . . these people dare to pass judgement on others who may be homosexual, transgender, have had abortions, whatever -- WTF do you think you are Michele & Jim-Bob??? Right now my thoughts are for all of the children who were brought up by these twisted, sick people who call themselves parents.

Seriously, I am 15 seconds in on today’s episode and I am already shouting STFU!!!!!!!!!! @ Nicole . . . don’t think I’m going to make it through the whole hour.

I wasn’t going to write anything on here because I felt like I would just be rehashing & reliving things which wouldn’t really add anything to the topic. But, having gotten so far to page 66 here, I really can’t hold myself back any more. I am sure many things I am about to say have been covered over & over and I’m sorry in advance for my little rant . . . 1. Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar are nothing short of cult leaders. They are, in my opinion, of the Jim Jones-type mentality. They are narcissistic, egotistical, people who believe they have been put on this earth to bring their way of thinking to everyone. 2. The fact that Michelle & Jim Bob have consistently thrown their sexuality into their childrens’ faces -- and Lords know what we haven’t seen that has gone on off-screen -- by constantly referring to their sex lives, the dry humping, the saying how Michelle would mow the lawn in a bikini and how much they kissed before they were married, etc., to me is like just flaunting and teasing their children. It was never said in a loving, nurturing, educational way -- to me, it was said in a way that stated, ha! to all of you kids, we got to do that -- you are NOT allowed to do that. 3. I am honestly torn about Josh. I was molested by a family member, however, he was a grown person. I am incredibly disgusted with Josh on the one hand, but on the other hand, as any mental health professional will tell you a normal 14-year-old’s brain is not fully developed, much less one who has grown up in the horror show known as the Duggar household. I do have a problem, as others have said, with him talking about how his life could have gone wrong, etc., but nothing about the girls he molested. But on top of that, I do hate the hypocrisy -- how dare he speak about the LGBT community and cast aspersions on others when he has done this. 4. I am so hoping that somehow CPS has a reason to get involved in this now -- to protect and help the other children still in the house. 5. I wish more time and effort could be spent on putting the spotlight on these horrible people -- meaning Michelle & Jim Bob -- and less on Instagram, and petitions, etc., They are without a doubt some of the most despicable people I have ever heard of in all my life. I very rarely say that I hate someone but today, right now, I am hating them for what they have done to their entire family. So sorry for the rambling . . .

My question is why this @ all?!?! I don't remember saying, "Oh, please promise me we will never have a Whoopi-free hour" -- I don't remember them ever doing this when someone was off for whatever reason. I am very sorry about her brother but puhleese -- St. Whoopi will be back, you just hold on Nicole . .

I call just plain B.S. on the "NeNe Leakes Reunion - Part 3 -- NeNe Brings Broadway to RHOA" I go back and forth with Kandi -- the main reason I get upset with her is for her relationship with the witch that is her mother -- but I have to give her a "standing O" for how she reacted last night. She was the only one who admitted that she saw through NeNe's bullshit breakdown (by not getting up and running after her and all of her minions). I love the Instagram posted ^^ showing Phaedra holding onto Dr. Jeff's arm to help he and NeNe off stage or wherever. Interesting that this quote was in the Sun-Journal (Lewiston ME) on Oct. 28, 1994: "Faults are like headlights on a car; those of others always seem to be more glaring than our own." ~ unknown Seems Greg was "profound" over 20 years ago . . . "

Did anyone catch what Abby said the second time to her mother in the car, after she said "I really thought Jess would move away"? She said something else that made Christy give a funny look but I could not make it out for the life of me.

This was the most ridiculous episode ever!!!!
