Sorry, but I can’t help you—I gave up on this show years ago. (And apparently so have the mods. It’s a mess in here.)

After the first two episodes, we still don’t know. Darlene said she is without a partner—avoiding name(s), gender(s), and the parentage of her children. Roseanne (or was it Jackie?) said Becky’s unnamed husband died. Harris’s age has been retconned to high school frosh, and Mark is probably named after his dad, uncle, and/or biological father. The actor who played Mark is dead, so TPTB could either recast the role, make Mark Becky’s dead husband, or have Johnny Galecki play Mark as the father of one or both of Darlene’s kids. Yes, that sounds farfetched—but so is Roseanne saying grace and voting Republican, or Andy being MIA. It would allow Galecki to play a character that’s nothing like Leonard Hofstadter. And Darlene could make a wisecrack about Harris’s height. (Sidebar: I love Emma Kenney on Shameless, and think she’s well-cast here.)

@applecrisp It was “The Evil to Come,” about the 2014 murder of Peggy Nadell in Clarkstown, NY.

http://people.com/food/vanderpump-rules-kristen-doute-hippie-spread/ The first installment: “While my friends were partying it up in Vegas during last week’s episode, I was hanging back in sunny Los Angeles, whipping up this Hippie Spread!” She needs a food stylist, stat.

Dumbledore likes sherbet lemons (hard candy w/ sherbet inside). Dib Dabs are sherbet powder packaged with a lollipop—like Fun Dip, but fizzy. (Fun Dip was originally called Lik-m-Aid, and didn’t have a dipper—one just used a finger. At my school, some kids dipped sandwich bags of Jell-O powder.)

It’s a derogatory term, like “wanker” or “jagoff” or “jabroni.”

Kenneth Tigar first played Stefan Koepeknie in season 3’s “Werewolf, then reprised the character in season 8’s “Possession.” His characters were usually wacky: a man visited by a Revolutionary War poltergeist named Julius in “The Ghost,” a man claiming to be Jesus Christ in “The Photographer,” and a clairvoyant mugger in “The Psychic.”

Wow, Fatgirlrunning has an entirely different attitude than Whitney’s:

Only thirteen episodes ventured outside the station: “Ramon,” “Graft,” “The Stakeout,” “Hair,” “The Hero,” “Grand Hotel,” “Fish,” “Wojo’s Girl” part 2, “Contempt” parts 1 & 2, “Chinatown” parts 1 & 2, and “Eviction” parts 1 & 2. The first five were all in season one; “Fish” and “Wojo’s Girl” were backdoor pilots for spinoffs. Also, Max Gail is currently on General Hospital. The characters of Marty Morrison and Darryl Driscoll are problematic, as is Wojo’s homophobia.

If Buddy (Whit's roommate) and Lennie (her ex-boyfriend) both have charges associated with drinking, it's hard to imagine she did not see them in an intoxicated state. That means she accepted/accepts them in that intoxicated state. I don't know of too many people who put up with drunks unless they're also a drunk. So... Is Whitney an alcoholic? Or does she abuse alcohol? And given the high calorie content in alcohol, is alcohol part of her weight problem? Almost a year later, we know @Complexity was right about Buddy’s substance abuse. But what about Whitney? Is she an alcoholic?

Luby Francis “Buddy” Bell is 34. (His dad is also Luby, his mom is Edythe, and his brother Phil is two years younger.) In January 2014, Buddy assaulted a police officer at a Queens of the Stone Age concert in Raleigh, North Carolina. Charged with assaulting a government official, second degree trespassing, resisting a public officer, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct, he was convicted of disorderly conduct, put on probation for 45 days, and fined $380.

The lake house is definitely not Rob’s: https://www.vrbo.com/386645?unitId=386645 His “job” is producing an infomercial, This is LA, which profiled SUR:

This theory from the “Wishful Sinking” thread is interesting: This show is edited, so Schwartz could have ordered iced tea at El Coyote after the Las Vegas “business trip.” (It was unsweetened ice tea, so maybe dadbod Tom was on a diet? But then he ordered jalapeño poppers, so probably not. And he wasn’t the designated driver; they arrived on scooters.) Tom Sandoval’s 34th birthday was Friday, July 7, 2017; the Vegas trip was (supposedly) July 6–7. Since I’m attempting to establish a timeline, the SUR fire was Monday, June 19, 2017. In other news, Katie said Schwartz was “a great mactor.” According to IMDB, he was a faerie on True Blood in 2011 and an Italian exchange student on Two and a Half Men in 2013.

I just saw Nicole Kidman in a commercial for Neutragena wrinkle cream. Does anyone really think they can look like her at age 50 without a shedload of botox and fillers?

Schwartz confirmed that Katie suffered a traumatic brain injury from falling through the skylight: It was a joint interview, and Katie sounds like she’s been in therapy:

How do you pronounce Jason Michael Cauchi? Cocky? Couchie?

Hollywood producer Randall Emmett (just like Lala’s ex, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Hayes Pullard) doesn’t want his name mentioned on this show. Hence all the my-manning, your-manning, and her-manning. Definite drinking game fodder. He’ll be 47 next month, and his divorce from actress Ambyr Childers was finalized December 22, 2017—after this season was filmed. They have two daughters, about 8 & 4 years old.

GMTA. I just came to post this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2018/02/02/i-wanted-to-roll-his-head-cousin-of-murdered-billionaire-says-in-bizarre-tv-interview/

I remember fruity Mr. Sketch Scented Markers, but they don’t fit this forum because they’re back. And BIC 4-color pens are still a thing. I also remember fuzzy pencil toppers with googly eyes and rubbing the pencil between my palms to make the hair even crazier.

Amy Dickinson is a syndicated advice columnist. Here’s the original question: Whitney would accuse Active Traveler (AT) of body shaming her overweight friends, and insist that she follow their lead, watching the world go by and watching them overeat. Then she’d accuse AT of self loathing for dealing with her eating disorder, controlling her blood sugar, eating mindfully, and exercising. In Whitney’s worldview, AT must be jelly of those fabulous friends. If I were AT, I’d explain to friend #1 that I prefer more active vacations—not lie about my travels to “protect her feelings.” Then I’d tell friend #2 the same thing, and ask if she’d be be ok with me taking long walks, exercising, and going on excursions without her. Traveling companions needn’t be joined at the hip, and separate activities would give us something to talk about at dinner. Just because AT dislikes traveling with friend #1 doesn’t mean she wouldn’t have fun with friend # 2. But if it doesn’t work out, AT will have to have another honest conversation.

Ruby does life coaching by phone: She’s also a public speaker at “women's conferences, sports banquets, and church services.”

http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/ruby-gettinger-now-151760 Maybe the competition will inspire Whitney to change her ways?
