Schwartz posted a throwback photo with William, Robert & Brandon (aka Billy, Bert & Brandon): There are two more here: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/tom-schwartz-triplet-brothers The fact that he calls 31-year-old men "such sweet kids" and "such good kids" makes me wonder if they're special needs. Also:

From Tequila Katie's thread: Sounds like Tom's dad has substance abuse + anger issues. As for Tom's sister, maybe she just doesn't wish to appear on a reality TV show (like Aimee Osbourne, Ozzy & Sharon's eldest).

Really?! How are posts like this not "Erika hate"?:

I'm the one who brought the food-shaming talk here. All the comments I quoted were from the episode thread!

I'm watching Obsession: Dark Desires season 4, episode 4, "Texts, Lies, and Videotape," about Katie Call from Powder Springs, Georgia. The reenactor sounds just like her. Either the casting agent found the perfect actor, or she studied Katie before filming. Either way, kudos! (If the latter, she should work as a dialect coach for The Walking Dead.)

"Makeup artists always make dancers look like drag queens." Yep.

I wish she'd stop with the #EdenHugs. Not just the hashtag—the creepy, overlong, needy act itself.

Julia Child was born and raised in California, went to college in Northampton, Massachusetts, lived in New York City and Washington, DC, then moved to Paris at age 36. That's roughly the same age Dorit met PK.

Here's a video of Dorit Lemel from 2011: Dorit's voice is more affected than accented. See also: Katharine Hepburn (from Hartford, Connecticut), Vincent Price (St. Louis, Missouri), Julia Child (Pasadena, California), or Tim Gunn (Washington, DC).

I don't eat mammals, smoked fish, poultry sausage, or meat substitutes. Why? Because I don't like the taste—just as some people don't like brussels sprouts. But I all too often encounter someone who badgers me for a "better" (meaning acceptable to them) explanation. To make them go away, I tell how I grew up fishing, and could wring a chicken's neck if I had to (for example, a zombie apocalypse). But there's no way I could catch a cow, pig, sheep or goat—much less take it down. Seafood? They're underwater insects. And I'd try deep-fried mealworms or crickets if I could find some.

Mike's latest project is Dat Dope Group: He DJ'd one afternoon in Vegas more than a year ago: https://www.galavantier.com/las-vegas/pool-parties/gbdc-ghostbar-dayclub/events/mike-shay-2-20-2016

They've shown LVP cooking before, and her book includes recipes: https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Divine-Elegant-Affordable-Entertaining/dp/0762449233 Shepherd's pie: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/real-estate/housewife-lisa-vanderpump-shows-throw-fab-party-nyc-apartment-article-1.1046656 Roast chicken: http://lvpsangria.com/roasted-chicken-with-lvp-red-sangria/

I can't understand the over the top bitch eating crackers reaction to Erika. Is it a PR campaign for her upcoming appearance on Dancing With the Stars, meant to increase her name recognition? And/or make her the villain you love to hate? Speaking of PR, here's a video about Tom:

Every time I see this thread, I think of Fjohürs Lykkewe:

I pronounce the first syllable of lawyer like soy—not law. And syrup is surrup—not seerip. Route is root—not rout/rowt. Caught and cot sound the same, as do maul and mall. According to the Connecticut Post, Dorit is from Woodbridge, NYC's Countess Luann de Lesseps is from Berlin (rhymes with Merlin), NYC's Kristen Taekmanand is from Farmington, and Atlanta's Kim Zolciak is from Windsor Locks.

No one realizes they have an accent until somebody else points it out. So Dorit's not being disingenuous—she doesn't hear what the rest of us do. And each of us hears Dorit differently to boot. Boy George and LVP hear American. I hear Connecticut.*

I had never heard of the 1995 disappearance of Jason Callahan of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (known as “Grateful Doe” until 2015). I'd much rather see shows about new-to-me cases like this than rehashing OJ, JonBenét, Casey Anthony, etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Jason_Callahan https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/us/grateful-doe-is-identified-20-years-after-road-trip-death.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/lifestyle/style/how-the-internet-may-have-solved-a-20-year-old-cold-case/2015/03/10/02a4a326-acb1-11e4-9c91-e9d2f9fde644_story.html

I assumed it was production. Or that unnamed hairstylist who told Rinna that Yolanda was faking her Lyme disease.

Tobey Maguire, Neil Patrick Harris, Orlando Bloom, and Jesse McCartney. Her ex-husband is Tomer DeVito. Does anyone know anything about Joe (aka "London")? https://mobile.twitter.com/sasseden/status/834281845764141057

Here's an article from last season: http://www.allaboutthetea.com/2016/03/16/rhobh-meet-erika-girardis-ex-husband-son-photos/ And another: http://www.allaboutthetea.com/2016/03/15/erika-girardi-abandons-3-year-old-to-seek-life-of-a-gold-digger-in-l-a/

I'm a Connecticutian, and I replace a lot of t's with d's. Water, quarter, and daughter all rhyme with odder (wadder, kwadder, and dodder). I pronounce merry and marry the same as Mary. Like Dorit, I have a glottal stop—buttons, Clinton, and eating sound like buh-inz, Clin-in, and ee-in. My grandparents both grew up in Middletown (central Connecticut). He sounded like me (and liked the NY Yankees); she was a Boston Red Sox fan who said Gawd for God and Cholly for Charlie. So "Connecticut accents" can vary.
