I just happened on a replaying of an episode (it says from 2013). It's just so silly to me- this one has Yolanda in the heart of her home, the kitchen, cooking up a storm, greeting her 3 kids from school. She is wearing what looks like a down vest so it's sleeveless over a tank top and of course she looks glamorous. I am wondering who how does that get worn in sunny Cali at home to cook her signature spaghetti bolognese. I mean seriously. help me. And the funniest part is David comes in and they are so in love and smooch hello with pure lust and love in their demeanor. He goes on to discuss what a super wife she is. When did they come undone? Sorry- but it's just so funny how we all get sucked into the illusions of the glamour, the wealth, the beauty, the opulence....... you know. And then reality bites.

So I guess I will show my age here- but you all seem to know who Travis is-(kylei's babydada).....and.....if he is to perform at grammy's with lady gaga, well then I guess most people know who he is. I do not. I am off to google him and his great talent.

Agree with all the commentary on Jennifer and famille- and just find that at times she is very down to earth and sincere but then goes off the handle when she drinks. YES I did hear that comment her hubby made about keeping her away from the tequila and though it was curious. The family dynamics are quite off- and in particular the youngest girl is really in need of parenting. I know it's hard with cameras on and she might even be acting up or out a bit more but still- rather obnoxious. sorry I know the understanding with the housewives is NO COMMENTING on children lol.

I just don't understand how most of these people ended up on the show. Lala and Kristen are at the head of the list, but really just about all of them. Is the defining part that they work(ed) at Lisa's restaurants? That they are "friends" with the other cast members? Seriously. And now very basically (see what I did there) what does Miss Lisa see in them to hire them? I can sort of understand Stassi because she is a drama queen and very articulate......same with the Toms. I am honestly asking this in all seriousness.

THIS. I know it's easy for me to spend other people's money, and I fully recognize that money does not grow on trees and is not endless. However, the family seems to enjoy a very nice lifestyle, traveling and such for various medical visits readily (unless do you think this is sponsored or covered for the story line?).... so way back when Jeannette was saying that she had to serve as full time nurse for recovery it just didn't ring true for me. Certainly I would have thought that even for the first few days post op out of the hospital that they could have had some nursing staff coordinated. oh and on a side note- I missed these forums BIG TIME !!! happy they are back!

I can understand to a degree that she wants Allie to get everything she is entitled to and should be getting that the school should be providing. However, she (Leah) is so incompetent and that is why we are faulting her for not doing enough. Then again, how could she get her nails did and her lash extensions and so on.? this all takes time and she would be too distracted "helpin" out at the school. My guess is school is not a high priority for these folks in the holler.

I agree with the quick blending of families, though this bf does seem heads above the others. What really rang so phony to me was at the Dr appointment when she AGAIN went into the aide is not the same one as last year they really wanted to have the same aide stay with Allie. I was really sad to watch Allie at the appointment. I know they were trying to be all praising and uplifting for her benefit but its such a sad situation.I guess I just get so frustrated with Leah because while I know it can't change things overall, if she had more of a clue and was a tad more competent, Allie would at least be getting so much more support. And on the REALLY superficial level, what is up with Leah's eyelashes? Half asleep and eye lashes that must weigh a pound and a half.

Hugs to you! And you will NOT be Barb, not to worry. One of the KEY differences in your favour is that you are self aware and generally aware. That goes a long way. You will be fine.

Bridget that was a very good post- enlightening in face. I guess I never thought about it much, as thankfully I never had need with my now grown kids to have aides assigned. The point that cannot be mentioned enough though, is that Leah and her crew are so uninformed and unquestioning. Information and knowledge that should be pretty basic and understood by the vast majority of folks is just not in her realm. I don't mean this to sound so negative, but plainly and painfully, these people are so not aware of how things work. I think she is very happy and grateful that she drives a good car, way nicer than most in her circle, and even has money to get the nails did... what more is she supposed to think about.

Yes. I think I feel for Barb because I can see she is clearly at her wit's end which implies that she has a wit and cares. I used to kind of feel for Jenelle but she repeatedly does stupid hateful hurtful things and then whimpers about it. I truly find her eyes to have no sign of life or humanity behind them.

Amen. Because I am shallow like that, this comment really resonated. I was going to say, whoever suggested those glasses she wears, and well, whoever suggests her attire, should be fired.

The video is actually quite touching. No snark.

thank you for the update! Nice photo, everyone looks good and what a nice and normal ( probably going to be a popular) name!

Yup what rumors about Leah's boyfriend? And I guess I must have dozed or blinked but I totally missed the cake tasting for Lux's birthday party. Are you freeeekin' kidding me? for a first birthday party? for any birthday party? Are you serious??????? Editing to add- I did not see the 2 posts above mine when I posted. So the rumor is he was her dealer? oh lord. And glad about someone else reacting about the cake tasting!

ok what REALLY seems messed up (FAKE) to me with the 911 call, is that she is not at all talking low or hushed, and is not rushed either. I hope it wasn't real but if heaven forbid it happened where she was really attacked and he left the house like she said (in what kind of vehicle- I don't know) -----wouldnt you be afraid he was really there or would come back. Listening to this again- it's ridiculous. And to use police resources for this...................smh.

I did hear that they were on a new season or they are having a special show about her going to Morocco to get married. This just defies any understanding on my part. (but yes, I will try to watch it)

Not sure what resurrected this - are they replaying that season? I was on the fence about Loren, but I always thought they had a very good shot at staying together. Their families were each very supportive and seemed to genuinely like their kid's spouse. i haven't followed much but I am pretty sure they are still together.

She really got taken with her plastic surgery. She looks distorted.

Quite a love story. And yes, Taylor, Maci's dad and everyone else was wearing the Taylor Tee.

I still say, there is something about this couple that has me sincerely rooting for them and hoping that they have a happy and long marriage. I was wondering too if Richie was just called Richie and his name was really a good Russky name Alexander? I never heard them refer to him as Alexander.

exactly. I enjoy watching the train wrecks and the people we love to hate as much as the next one ,but when it gets this messy and sad, it's just beyond. With this group or cast, one just doesn't know what is real and what is staged for viewership or to create demand to be signed again $$. It does get very sad as when remember in RH the spouse committed suicide for real. ( cannot remember the name but the daughter I remember is named Kennedy).

anyone have any updates on this couple?

So now I REALLY don't know what to believe. So then they really did marry but is the drama for real? I wonder WHEN the tell all follow up was taped. It seems like things change daily as to what the reality is. It looks like at the tell all that JonandFern are together, but reading here it looks like they split up. Then again, their split does not seem to include any filing for divorce so maybe it's just more drama to hook them for another season ($$). I read your posts, and enjoy them all but I don't actually research much on my own about the cast, I have always said that I had a hard time believing these people and their situations/relationships were real, but I still actually thought they were. Now, I have no clue what to think!

Well I know there is so much contrived drama and all but I just cannot quite wrap my head around this- so were they both paid actors? We did see the looney Vegas wedding.... I mean ...huh? and she sure for real looked like she had been crying for reeelz..............again I guess I am just too much of a truthful person that all this conniving is just beyond my understanding.

Re the fridge---The bolded part. I love how they make them all out to be phenomenal housekeepers but I really doubt these women scrub the fridge or even dust the furniture. Not criticising, just stating what seems obvious. Yes I might be jealous of having household help
