S14.E01: Grace Time Is Over

S9.E7: Hard Launch, Soft Landing
Rlb8031 replied to ZettaK's topic in The Real Housewives Of Potomac
I don't think he is. TJ strikes me as being very much like a number of guys that I know - raised in the church so contemplating anything other than a hetero relationship is off limits, good-looking enough that both men and women make their interest in them clearly known, and is smart, accomplished, personable, etc. He's just the 2020's version of Al Reynolds. He may come out, or he may end up married and always be presenting this face publicly that's respectable. It really depends on much he grows. Either way, he'll continue to get acting roles and will play characters that are in keeping with his moral values. And if he's comfortable with it, then more power to him. -

Good for her. I'd much prefer she talk about this, rather than try and hold herself out as the skin care/candle/sex toy/wine/podcast expert.- 42 replies

And this is why I say Gizelle is dumb. The correct move would have been to meet them at the door and say "You're just in time, we're $x thousand dollars shy of our goal. Here is the QR code, please bring us over the top." Instead she let a bunch of Gen Z gays put a battery in her back to show up all queen b with a bunch of drama. I'm with Jessia (sp?) - if you don't want me, you damn sure don't want my money.

That IS what is meant, but that's not what people hear when they hear "defund the police". That is a horrible slogan because it does not communicate what is actually being proposed. I wish there was a decent marketing person in the room when that particular slogan came up.

The thing about militarizing the police is that armies at war have clear enemies. You treat every person you encounter with suspicion because you don't know who the "bad guys" are. Policing is supposed to be about protecting a community. In that case you are supposed to know who the residents are, who owns the businesses, the principals at the schools, and the local elected officials that can be called on to assist folks with issues beyond law enforcement. Police believe themselves to be an "army" some of which is the result of good marketing and propaganda pushed out by defense contractors, but that isn't fundamentally what police should be doing. It's the thing that frustrates me about "defund the police". It should actually be "police for policing" and activities that are not the primary function of police should be left to (and funded for) subject matter experts - whether animal control, mental health interventions, truancy or social work.

S5.E3: Basketball, Bobbleheads and the Brow Girl

My assumption is there were no direct commercial route there and any flights would have involved at least one and possibly two stops. -

1) Menopause 2) Because she's the pot stirrer with no other story line for this franchise. -

Mary is like a broken clock this season. Thus far she's useless most of the time, but twice a day she is spot on. This episode: She's not the sharpest knife. She's not even the sharpest spoon. Why do we care? It's like watching a savant in action... -

Ryan was accused of being the person who received bets made by the interpreter for Dodger's pitcher Shohei Ohtani Details of Ohtani case Ryan's involvement Evidently the money got sent to Ryan, who then passed it on to the other person indicted in the case. -
S18.E12: The Elephant in the Room
Rlb8031 replied to ZettaK's topic in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
Tamara is harping on Shannon to deflect from her own abuse of alcohol. I'm not buying her "I'd stop drinking if I drove into a building" drivel for a moment. She's seen herself be a drunken mess on tv and it hasn't caused her to stop. She's horrible. It sounds like it's more than "crap". She was afraid the ex would physically harm them if she stayed. It's not the same as "your ex is talking shit about me on the blogs". The divorce is not "finished" because the ex doesn't want it over. She's making Travis' relationship with Gina a central part of the divorce proceeding. Gina is aware of that, which is why she feels bad, but she also knows she wants her kids protected from the crazy. I wish he would just come out an say "I'm a bookie", I mean, we all know what he does... -
RHoP In The Media: What's Going Down in the DMV
Rlb8031 replied to a topic in The Real Housewives Of Potomac
Chris has been making cooking videos and posting on a you tube channel for a while now. Besides that he's got a self-published cookbook and he's selling his own line of spices. I wouldn't call him someone without hustle, but he's certainly not focused on working for someone else. His online story is that he's focusing on being a personal chef and cooking full-time. I'm also going to say that he does not seem to be a bad dad or have any stories about being a "bad guy" so I'm going to suggest that if Candiace likes it, I love it. -
S18.E9: A Picture Worth a Thousand Words
Rlb8031 replied to ZettaK's topic in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
My takeaway from this season is that Shannon is an alcoholic who grew up in a family of alcoholics and therefore is unable to comprehend that 1) her behavior is abnormal/problematic and 2) that she actually needs help. Her commentary in the episode with her father cemented that for me and I don't think she's going to come around unless her kids stage a complete intervention. I also think she needs to be off the show for her own sake, but as it seems that this is her primary source of income, that doesn't appear to be likely. -
S18.E6: All Up in Gina's Grill
Rlb8031 replied to ZettaK's topic in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
If you believe Gina's account, because Travis' ex was triggered by the kids being around her. I think it's reflected in the fact that she moved down the block and her kids spend plenty of time there, that the issue was never about wanting to get away from Travis. I don't know if his position that Gina should have stuck it out, is for the show only or if he really isn't worried about what the ex could or would say or do. I think Ace is trans and Max is somewhere else on the LGBTQ+ spectrum (my recollection was Heather said three of her kids were LGBTQ+). -
S14.E.13: When All Is Said And Done, Season Finale
Rlb8031 replied to ZettaK's topic in The Real Housewives Of New Jersey
But this isn't correct. Luis didn't say he hired someone to defend himself against this ex, he said outright that he hired someone to investigate all of the members of the cast. At no point either when he said it originally or when he walked it back on the reunion, was the discussion around "he was hired to investigate my ex, and learned she had been talking with cast". You keep making assertions about what his intent was, but I'm simply going by what he actually SAID.
