My eating habit is the same as what I was raised on and eaten my entire life. Ayurvedic vegan, nutritious, nourishing and delicious. Rice; mung beans seaoned with turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger and tomato; and cauliflower/broccoli in a spicy spinach gravy. Closest way to explain it in Western terms.

Noooo! The two people from this show who slam the truck door shut with the window frame! I will be double-cringing and wincing this entire episode!

ITA with the general comments about Captain Sandy's failure at leadership this season, but I hate how many times she has been called a bitch. Captain Lee's worst offense is being salty, grouchy or a curmudgeon. Captain Sandy misbehaves, and the go-to term for her is a bitch.

This show is bad, bad bad! Two positives I can find: 1) I think Alicia has aged very well. She looks great. In part, I'm sure, due to her vegan lifestyle. I saw her recently in person sans makeup and she has perfect, glowing skin. Ofc, she arrived late to the yoga class after the instructor locked the door and the class had started, kind of ruining the flow for everyone. 2) For anyone who watches RHOBH, this idiot show takes me back to Kyle's ridiculous, OTP laugh at some non-funny joke on the show during her viewing party. She was the only one who laughed, and it was such a stupid and loud laugh, that it makes me laugh. ETA: Love the 70s scenery and fashion as well, but I think Mad Men's level of excellence may have ruined all period shows for me.

Speaking of disguises, I thought it was so cute how Jules looked like Velma from Scooby-Doo.

This whole season , with Sally's masculine body type and that god-awful haircut, all I saw was the scarecow from the Wizard of Oz. Oh, and I wish Paul Adelstein would stop writing himself as a character in EVERY SINGLE show he is is a writer/producer of. We get it.

I wonder if these are going to be the guests that Hannah and Adam referred to as the worst guests of this season on WWHL last week? Casey has seasickness and chooses to eat her bread while watching the waves from the deck? I really hope we do not have to endure any more scenes of her vomiting.

So glad this season is over.

Glad I don't have to see creepy Donathan or his serial killer smile again. He looked like an insane clown in the last few tribal councils. Just my gut reaction to him. If I was ever on an elevator alone, and he got on, I would immediately get off.

In her original episode, there was a chocolate-eyed, dark-haired, tall and strapping young paramedic who I found quite fetching. When he was helping the team load her back into the ambulance (after a Dr. Now or hospital visit, I don't remember), he shriveled his nose and got a look on his face like he had just smelled the most offensive and disgusting smell. I only noticed it because I was only watching him, but I really hoped someone else saw it too.

I rarely swear. But just from the first 10 min of this show, screw you Schenee for keeping your poor dog locked in a cage outside and not even acknowledging him when he is begging for attention and to be let out. Why does this bitch even have a dog? I hope someone in the area calls the Humane Society and saves that poor creature. Screw you too for getting behind the wheel in such useless physical condition. How does she even have a license. What a selfish and worthless person. Harm yourself, I couldn't care less. But don't inflict your garbage self on animals or innocent bystanders. Wow, I can't remember hating someone so much, so fast, on this show.

I agree with all that you said, but the three-pronged approach talk was one of the scenes that made me not care for Dr. Etter. That was good information, but he sounded like he was reading it straight from a pamphlet. He didn't offer any of his own insight or experience, or apply it to these patients specifically. He was just regurgitating info, like a bad book report done by a little kid. Maybe it's just me, it seems like quite a few people on the forum do like him.

I didn't care for Dr. Etter one bit. He came off as so studied and scripted. I don't think one word out of his mouth expressed any of his thoughts or feelings, it all seemed like it came from a textbook. He could write those stupid opening monologues they start each show with. I'm sure he is a skilled doctor and surgeon. He just seemed devoid of any personality.

I'd say rice and beans, no chicken. If any of these people just went vegetarian or vegan they would drop so much weight so fast. Rice and legumes are healthy in the proper proportion. I've never had meat or fish, and have never weighed over 105. I eat rice, vegetable and legume-based dishes every day. I rarely eat Western foods. I just hate seeing rice being blamed for weight gain. Just look at most Asian cultures for thousands of years. It is the way Westen cultures prepare it (butter, cheese, stock, salt - blech), and the huge portions they eat that are the problem.

I am in love with your kitty! I am really going to miss seeing his super cute pics every week.

I am really jealous/impressed with Chitoka's "side splits" sitting position when she is in bed. I can't get my legs splayed to the sides nearly that far. Well, not both legs at once like her.

Don't be embarrassed! Your post gave me the heartiest laugh I've had in ages!

Please, please let someone else have caught this. So the girl Michael Vartan was having the affair with had on the EXACT SAME black hipster panties and deep teal bra as Megan was wearing in S1 Ep1 when she was shooting some movie and doing a scene snorting cocaine from a coffee table.

There are too many good posts above to quote them all, but very well said to the last several posts. I'm not really interested in the borderline diagnosis or following Rebecca's recovery from it. I think the actors are all quite talented, but the clever writing seems to have gone downhill. Scenes are dragged out much longer than they need to be. At this point, it would be better off being a half hour show. For how surprising the mental health issues and suicide attempt were to me, so much of the rest of the show is so predictable. Darryl's character has just become whiny, long-winded and insufferable. I can't remember the last time Paula's character has a line to deliver without her furrowed brow and concern. When Josh walked up with the puppy (ita pets are not gifts!), who didn't know he would overhear the conversation and slump away a sad sack. None of the characters really have developing stories or lives of their own, it's all about Rebecca's mental health now. Not sure how the law firm is even in business. The first season brought me a lot of joy and laughter, and the songs were treasures. The show was always a bit dark, but it's gone so far and presumably has to become a bit lighter. Watching that journey is just not of interest to me. Plus I really do like the current cast and I imagine they will be pushed aside for new people in Rebecca's recovery (therapist, psychiatrist, zany people in her therapy group, etc.). I don't care to get to know them.

Everyone on this forum loves this show so much that I feel I can't say what I think has become of it. So I'll just say it is not for me anymore. This is a completely different show than it started out as. It's funny, for most of the shows that I enjoy the forums bring me down because people just trash said shows. It's amazing how much people find wr9ng with them. This show is just the opposite, it is unanimously loved but I am out. I had also heard of it from Girl, Interrupted and also when Ariana "diagnosed" Kristen with it on Vanderpump Rules. Those are the only instances I have heard the term.

Interesting! We have Hostess, but I have never seen that Drake's logo on a Hostess box.

Thanks Katy. I'm in the US, but I am 99% sure we don't have them where I live. I have never seen them in any store. They don't sound very good alongside cheese. But alone, def a good "morning after" snack!

Ty! But what is a yodel?

What did the doctor say she was cooking? I rewound and replayed several times and I just heard "yodels and cheese." What is that?

Not a Bethanny fan by any means, but she looked so NY and by contrast, Lori looked Midwest-farm-girl-straight-from-a-barn with that frumpy ruffle blue blouse and her stupid long blonde hair.
