The key to these shows is it has to be believable that the women all want to maintain their standing within this social circle-not that all the women are friends or love spending time together, just that they want to be part of this group so they interact and engage with each other. I don't believe that any of these people care about this social circle. I think they want to be around Jenna because she's famous. The rest of them I just don't believe they would have anything to do with each other outside the show. They should build a show around Jenna and Ubah and fill out the cast with other fashion people, like the lady who was going through Jenna's closet with her.

The writing on this show is so schlocky and unnatural, "I've been editing my doc", "I need to get a check to finish this doc". And some of the acting is junior high level. The woman who plays Seems is embarrassingly over-the-top, when she said the line about Tom Ford it was practically vaudevillian in it's hamminess. Also, Miranda acts like she's got some sort of head injury, she's so manic and hyper all the time.

The Abbey night couldn't have been the night of the divorce party, because Ally said she saw them at the Abbey after C-U-next Tuesday and James was at the divorce party that night. I wondered if the Abbey night was the night we saw, where Raquel was sitting in between the Toms, since James was DJing that night.

Tom on the phone with the siblings and his Minnesota-nice indirect hemming and hawing was making me insane.

How old are these people that they think you don’t have to sometimes make sacrifices in a relationship? What a terrible attitude.

Negging is such a loser move, whether it's from a woman or a man. And Gabby doesn't have enough going for her outside the TV cameras to have that guy take her shit.

Mya's beef should not be with Lindsey it should be 100% with Carl, who didn't defend their friendship and wasn't even straight with Mya about what the problem was.

I don’t like Lala and I do like Schwartz, but, yeah, I can see why she is mad and doesn’t want him around her. She’s not telling anyone else they shouldn’t hang out with Schwartz or taking it out on his friends. But she’s in a very nasty court case and she has to be able to trust people around her not to tell Randall anything. I was originally going to say Schwartz shouldn’t be hanging out with Randall because he’s a slimeball criminal, but they all ready knew that about him, I think. The only thing would be if he was a genuine Weinstein-style rapist, vs the garden variety “fuck me for a part in my terrible movie” casting couch sleaze.

The dynamic between Bobby and Josh was always so bitchy and bickering it seemed like a miserable way to live, constantly on guard from an incoming snipe. I don't think its fair to say Colton bilked Josh out of money-he probably made a case that Josh gifted him things, maybe even a house?, and therefore should get to keep it. Josh is just sloppy with his money and then thinks he can just take things back and storm off.

Luke was on my friend’s hockey podcast! He talks a lot of very local Minnesota stuff and hockey, but if you’re interested. He does mention he had dated Ashley.

Heather doesn’t respect Whitney at all. She takes her for granted as a fall-back in case she falls out with the other women. She was so mean at dinner and she meant to humiliate Whitney.

Did Keith poison Pam? I find that a very believable accusation. Was she getting treatment for her cancer? It sounded like she was just laying in a bed dying.

Holy cow, Willie’s hands are huge! Wonderful. What a doll he was playing stickball with the neighbor kids. I love baseball and wish it wasn’t fading so badly. Barry looks great.

Nicki knew the Camila testimony would be damaging. Does that mean she knew about his pedophilia and child porn? Her objections were that the trial wasn’t fair, and she believed DOS was a choice, etc. but I wanted them to ask her how she continued to support him with the pedophilia accusations? Because his lawyer might be a creep, but he was right: financial charges and even some coercive adult sex can maybe be spun, but once you’re a child pornographer and rapist no one is listening to you anymore.

I’m in love with these guys at the BBQ. They were all so sweet and hugged each other!
