I think IRL I would always have liked Shane with his sarcastic comments and rolling his eyes at much of the silly stuff. In the earlier years he seemed stressed and didn't joke/smile much. He is probably happy that his bar exam stuff isn't a major plot line. Emily also seems to have come into her own on the show, in earlier seasons she seemed more insecure around the group. Tamra is still a crazy one and was probably hired back to bring the drama, but she looks great still and not as fake as you can with all the work they get done.

Man this new boat is so much nicer than the usual BD boats. The sailing one is decent but the BD ones are so dark 90s old man decor that I cannot image people paying luxury prices for them. Even the outside is nice, more like a sports car. Love it, hope the regular BD gets some more modern/in style boats. I guess the layout is less practical for the toys.

I personally think the Travis moved to be close to Kourtney stuff is "rewriting history" as it seems "romantic". I doubt he moved for Kourtney, it was over a decade ago. Obviously, Kris buys into that stuff and Travis (like the rest of us) probably knows how best to get into Kris' good books. Kourtney had way less reaction to Kris' revelation than Kris did.

I never followed Theranos at the peak so it is hard to see what charm Elizabeth has, as by the time I really took a look, the downfall had occurred so in hindsight you see the red flags. I liked the series but think they made Amanda too attractive and didn't do the crazy makeup and fuzzy hair enough there near the end. At one point there, Elizabeth looked more like Tammy Faye and I recall times when it seemed her red lipstick was smudged and messy. I thought the "crazy inventor" was a calculated part of her look. Afterall, at trial she had normal hair and makeup. I think the show did a decent job of the story. It was a bit rushed at the end. Amanda got a lot of the odd facial movements down pat, the voice wasn't low enough but that was likely a challenge as there was a lot going on in Elizabeth's mannerisms. I hope Elizabeth gets some time. I doubt it will be 20 years though. It sucks they brought a kid into this bullshit. I certainly can believe it was calculated. Billy must be a piece of work too but then again people send love letters to Scott Peterson in prison so there have always been people attracted to criminals. Maybe he thinks he can change her or she actually loves him and he is above the con. Or maybe like Sonny he is a conman too. ETA some of the difference between Elizabeth and other startup "frauds" is that she took money from rich old men and those are less likely to let it go and move on with their lives. If you go the VC route you are a bit protected from the fact that VC's know they will have some losers and if they sue their startups they will be less likely to get the next Facebook opportunity. It worked well for Elizabeth to con the men she did but I doubt if she went the traditional VC route it would have gone as it did. Her best con was of Sonny and his bail out, she was dead in the water without that.

Is that the lawyer's wife? If so, yes what was up with that, it was awful! Why did she need bad bangs? I think it was crazy how roped in Vivian became. I can see it for getting the article done before the baby, as that was to recover her career. After that? Move on to the next story you have a newborn at home. I hope the lawyer stuff was made up and he didn't really tank his marriage for a con artist.

The actress did a great job in mimicking the speech and affect of the real Anna! Such an annoying voice. The actress' accent may be off but the fry and dry affect seem similar enough. The fact is that some people are just drawn to bitchy women. Don't we all know at least one poorly behaved snotty ass woman who gets every one's attention all the time? I thought the reporter didn't jump on the VIP thing because she was trying to hold the cards and not be manipulated into giving in to Anna. That was my take.

I would voluntarily live in that house. I loved it so much, it was amazing. I don't read really, so could do the no books. I could tell the difference between Emma and June when they were shown face on but sometimes the scenes were far away or from the side and I had to look at the context like the clothing or who was around as there was a lot of overlap (the husband hung around in both, they both dated the homeowner). I also probably don't pay full attention.

That was the most realistic part to me. No one I know really knows numbers by heart these days. I know my mothers, my landline, my office and my own cel. I don't know my husband's cel. My kid's cel number is three numbers and her name so I could probably get it after a couple of tries. My 12 year old has never dialed a phone as everything is by text or pushing the call icon. If my mom every drops her landline then I am shit out of luck without my cel. However, we use find my phone so if Kirsten's parents phones were on they could have tried that to get a location of them.

They could have just had her test positive for Covid before her flight. It would have been easy and realistic.

This show has just become more crazy. So when you spend $50m on an asset is it only important your agent look hot? Does anyone on this show actually work and know something about real estate other than marble looks pretty? The episode with the fancy balloons, sure you care about the view being blocked but how about if a home is built on the cliff below will your home be structurally affected? IDK, I just don’t buy these people really work in real estate, or else wealthy people in California are stupid enough to only care that their agent looks fuckable and not that they actually add any business acumen to the real estate process. At least on million dollar listing, despite their manufactured drama, you can see some actual work going on. Don’t get me wrong, I dress nice for work and get my own Botox so I am not saying only ugly agents need apply but this show is so unprofessional overall and makes the women look bad. Like “tee hee, please buy a house, pretty please” while batting eyelashes kind of BS. The lips on Christine are crazy. She is probably going to regret stretching her skin so much.

I found the show interesting. It would have been nice to see a bit more about how it all went from Maxi skirts out if the truck to what it became as it was a bit “sold maxi shirts out of my trunk yada yada a team of thousands women”. I recognize that they must have always wanted it to be an mlm from the early days or else they would have focused more on products that sell to an actual end user. You can probably sell the average woman 10 pairs of nice comfy black leggings, it is pretty much a staple and some pay lululemon prices. Lots of areas don’t have lulu stores so to get to try on leggings at a party or pop up would have an appeal over ordering off a website. But then they went crazy with stupid patterns. I don’t own anything LLR but I can see that now they are trying for more classic patterns, something you can actually wear to work not just the grocery store. If the company were just direct sales without the bullshit mlm stuff and the huge unrealistic growth it probably could be a decent business for some people seeing how the demand has be run growing for athleisure clothing. If you can sell $20k of stuff a month and your wholesale is an actual wholesale price (at least a 100% markup) it could be a decent income. But of course with all the bullshit bonuses it becomes a “career” of recruitment not sales. Lots of the same drink the Koolaid stuff happens in the corporate world too and regular employees fall for it all the time so I certainly don’t fault these women for that. In my field (finance) back in the 90s there was always a push by managers to get the newbies in “sales” to get into some kind of debt as it kept them “hungry” and gave them “skin in the game”. This type of thing isn’t just in mlm. The most interesting to me was the bringing the husbands in and the how to treat your man stuff as I had no idea about that. I thought it was pushing for women run businesses.

Their voices were a bit annoying. It was funny as some of the time they did stop the vocal fry so it seemed a bit put on as it really seemed to come and go. I guess I am old as Instagram photos is not what I pay for in a hotel lol. I thought the design was okay for a budget reno. Not a super fan of everything being coral and blush tones without some kind of contrast for balance. The washrooms they did with blue I liked better. I found out there was a design company behind this so I am less impressed overall then as somethings felt a little DIY design. Looking up their first June Hotel, it also has a lot of blush tones but seems more interesting. I think the pool area and the A frame were the best designed. Their apartment kitchen I didn’t really like as it was tone on tone of coral and pink with nothing to break it up for me. I think the idea of open shelves which they didn’t end up doing would have been nicer. They don’t really only serve Rose right? Are people really that into Rose?

I put this one before bed and stayed up to watch the whole thing. It was very well done, it really held my interest. I was around the age of many of the attendees in 99 and the music is some I listened to. It was kind of funny how they joked about people who listen to the bands like Limo Bizkit wouldn’t then do the Rave thing but I totally would have at the time. I also would have listened to Jewel and Alannis but Kid Rock too, as I have diverse music interests. Never liked Korn though but the commentary by the Korn member was very good and insightful. It added a lot to the show. It was weird to see the bands old like me now lol. The water situation was insane. Even today I think $4 for a 500ml water bottle is insane. The place was crazy dirty. I have never done the music festivals in my province as there is no way I could handle their mess even though they are no where as near messy as this was. The comment about the topless girls being partially responsible for being groped is disgusting. Sure people will look at their tits but touching them - no. The guy was smirking when he said, good thing his Woodstock 50 fell through. Becoming of age in the early 90s it was an angsty time. We were told we would never have the things our parents had, we wouldn’t have the same level of personal wealth or opportunities. I spent my formative years anxious about how I would support myself in the future and now my mid 40s self looks back and says “relax” life isn’t that hard. So even though I am a woman, I do relate to some of the undercurrent of “anger” at the time.

All the fixing of the stuff in the loft was annoying. It seemed more a show off thing seeing as how the rooms were clean but B was acting like she walked in after a frat party. I like B but in this her bitchiness seems rude and unprofessional. On the housewives it works, here she could have tried to be more professional. The loud gal was annoying though, right out of the gates. I did like the mirror photos they were doing on the iPhone, seemed better than what some of the others were doing from an artistic standpoint.

I thought Moira and Emily were just blowing off steam with their complaining. It was a way they were bonding and it seemed implied that they really missed June. The kids are better off in Canada. It will take a while and therapy. The aunt needs better support as her way of handling her nephew is not going to be helpful. I recognize she is learning too but as an adult she needs to be the adult in discussion with the nephew and she needs to educate herself more. I don’t expect her to be perfect but she must know yelling “they aren’t your parents” is wrong. I cut her some slack because she is the aunt and with the fertility issue going on likely never had any kids of her own so maybe doesn’t know anything about kids.
