Will Nicole be on this one? Lol who am I kidding!? Azan would never.

😴😴😴 this show, without Max is ... meh.

Fixed that for you ?

I think Kail’s boys will be ok, too - at least Isaac will be.

That’s 4-8 month’s rent depending on how many episodes there are

I think we should wait until the reunion for Dr Drew to make an official diagnosic evaluation using the flashlight on his iPhone to confirm Ryan’s level of sobriety.

Jorge / Anfisa - I feel so bad for him and can clearly see that he is in an abusive relationship. I think the stigma of being an abused man, coupled with the "failure" of his relationship and proving everyone right is a lot of pressure for him. Nicole / Aslan - I agree with everyone that she is not May's primary caretaker. I heard her say more than once "I am my daughter's primary caretaker and we live in a house, alone, just the two of us" like that's something she's rehearsed and thinks sounds convincing. Watching Nicole ask her mom to sponsee Aslan was like watching her ask if she could get a puppy. "But mooommmmmmmmm I'll take care of him!" Pedro / Chantal - Did this bitch REALLY say it's clear her family has more money than Pedro's. He is WAY too good for her. She's not even all that pretty and THAT was all she had going for her ... she has a weird profile in her talking heads.

LOL! I'm Cuban, and kept telling my boss that I was going to wear a Cuban flag pin on my lapel or something to win me favor with my Cuban sister, Marilyn lol. I didn't. I think she spends time talking to the people who come to watch the show and sit in the galley (they are "fans" and here in NYC area they announce FREE tickets like they do for Jerry Springer or Maury or whatever) - Maybe they started using actors more recently?

I think I may have mentioned on TWOP that I had appeared as the plaintiff on TPC in 2001. Basically, I had a brand new Nextel phone (remember those annoying chirping walkie-talkie phones?) and took it to the defendant's shop to have it painted pink. Before you ask, because I could. lol It also had a glow in the dark "coating" on it and during my case the Judge went under the bench to check (they dimmed the lights). Back then, there weren't many choices in color for phones and I remember JM pulling out her red Nokia to show solidarity :) They claimed to use "auto" paint and that it would be virtually unchippable (I know). SPOILER: it wasn't. I don't think it even lasted a month. I returned to their shop like 6 times with promises of a new case being painted for me. Never happened. They wasted my time and my money. Every time I went to the store, the defendant would tell me the owner wasn't there and that he was actually AT the paint shop picking up MY case. Imagine my surprise when SHE walked in. I had filed my case in Queens county court and contacted TPC myself. The producers LOVED me :) and told me my case would be heard the next day. (which is why you'll sometimes hear people say they didn't have time to get their papers ready, etc) - I *rushed* to get my hair blown out and nails touched up (I WAS GOING TO BE ON TEE VEE lol) and when I called my boss to tell him why I wouldn't be in the following day? He decided so did he. He was there as "moral support" and to meet the judge lol. They sent a limo/town car for me and my actual case took about 40 minutes. There's a lot of testimony that's taken out, in addition to the judge going to make her decision. In MY case, she awarded me the full amount for a brand new phone even though I had gotten it for a subsidized price - because I had signed a contract for it and it was a month old when the defendants ruined it. There was no way to get another phone for the $200 or whatever I had paid. The judge spent time in her chambers calling around to see if I could get a phone for the reduced/subsidized "contract" price. TPC paid the first $3-400 of my judgment and the defendants were actually responsible for the rest. I don't know if things have changed since this was 15 years ago - but that's what it was when I went on. Also, the other litigants who were there taping the day I was were not on my episode when it aired. You can hear everything as you walk in, which is why you will sometimes see litigants laugh or smile or whatever. The guy in the hall is very nice, but wears a SHIT TON of make up - Douglas, too. Like a LOT. I didn't get to meet her :( and they really do rush you the fuck out once you're done. I remember one person who was in the green room with us (I think all the plaintiffs are in one and the defendants in another) and they had all these little gold people (like from the top of trophies) that their defendant had snapped off. lol. like 30 little gold people in various poses.

This was so unintentionally sad, to me. it's not like craig is spelled all toddler's and tiara's style with extra letters and shit - it's the common spelling, and yet ...

wow. SO THREE out of wedlock kids - Not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what YOU want to do, but for Maci CLEARLY she feels this is wrong - otherwise why all the "honest woman" talk?

lol. I read this as a sentence: and thought ... this shit show JUST got interesting! FINALLY Maci has a real storyline!

Dammit. I'm an idiot lol. Thanks for the correction and hahaha @ Teddy Ruxpin, if THAT isn't an apt description, I don't know WHAT is.

I see a therapist and she suggested that my husband may need to see someone based on things I've shared with her - but she made it absolutely clear that SHE can not provide that for him or "us" as a couple. She says she has no problem with a few "couple" sessions, to get an idea of the dynamic and stuff like that - but that she is MY clinician and can not take him on as a client. Flashback 8 years ago, we had a therapist who I didn't care much for, but she saw ME and my husband as a couple AND individually (so 3 sessions a week) and I think that was HORRIBLE. She had insight that made her be a bit more judgemental than an impartial party should be. I quit her. My husband continued with her for a few months then quit as well. I feel bad for Catelynn - depression doesn't just show up one day and BAM! you're depressed. It's slow. It's gradual. It's not showering today because you're too tired, and then maybe you call out of work because you're not "feeling well", next thing you know you're being written up for attendance and haven't washed your hair in a week and even the THOUGHT of getting into that shower and lathering up your hair, rinsing it, and drying it is so overwhelming and insurmountable that you become exhausted and just need to rest. Then? The hair doesn't get washed for TWO weeks. You're fired for no call/no show. And leaving the safety of your bedroom sends you into a tailspin of emotions. Meanwhile no one "gets" it and feels you should just "snap out of it" and regales you with stories of how THEY snap out of their "blue" moods all the time. Depression isn't about feeling sad - it's about not feeling at all. No pain, no sadness, no joy, nothing. I'm not sure if Cate is depressed, but the fact that she's no longer giving a shit about her appearance, gaining weight, dirty house, passing her baby off, lack of goals/motivation, etc would all signal that to me. I also feel it's cyclical. (perhaps that's more manic depressive?)

Rochelle & Rob - they seem like a real & loving couple. Sure, their fights are CRAZY - but so are mine lol. They really support each other even if it doesn't always APPEAR that way. Like them a lot. Brandon & Craig - love them. And I agree that Craig is a very good looking man - plus he's NEAT & CLEAN. Erica & Ateefis - ugh. Hate them both. The other 2 assholes - I don't even love to hate. They just suck as people - and they've combined forces to become ONE SUPER ASSHOLE POWER.
