Then again, this IS the guy who can't seem to remember to change his hoodie...or his daughter' names

So even sans Darcey Jesse is a jerk. I could watch clips of those seniors' faces all day, though.

Oh, just wait, it's probably coming. Remember when we were excited about the "bee people" because they seemed so normal? Fool me once, TLC...

Eh, I still think Ryan's slimy. That doesn't turn me off from him, though.

And WTF is up with these women who think emojis are so romantic? I mean, they're a tap of a finger. You can actually send one to your boss by mistake! Have standards dropped so low? And "communicating" may even be too strong a word. It looks like most of their conversations consist of "I love you, baby" with at least one of the words misspelled.

When I used to live in Austria I always came home sounding like a non-English speaking Austrian trying to speak English. It was embarrassing. And yeah, Sarah's is a put on and it's racist. Someone on here said that the demographics of the town that she lives in makes it even worse because it makes it even more obvious that it's a put on.

I feel the same way about people commenting on "hillbilly talk" (or whatever adjective they want to use to encapsulate my part of the world). There are lots of people here who use words that basically don't even exist anywhere else or they bastardize words in a way that makes them geographically isolated: winder, fanger, crick, your'n, etc. IMO it has nothing to do with education (lots of us have MAs or PhDs from nationally respected universities) or income bracket and a lot to do with environment and what's been passed down through the years-and I don't think that's a bad thing. One day all of that might be lost and IMO that's kind of sad. There have been several studies that have shown that the way we speak here in my area is linguistically closest to Elizabethan English and that it hasn't changed much over the years because of how insular we are. That makes sense since, historically, we've been pretty isolated. We didn't get a main thorough way through my part of the state until the 1980s and there are still places here that don't have access to water lines or internet. They've been trying to get "Ebonics" recognized as an official language, or at least as an official dialect, for a long time. It's too bad that our intelligence and class continue to be judged on the way in which we speak, because I know a lot of stupid people who have perfect diction and a lot of poor people who speak very well. I love listening to people from other parts of the country. I'm a big fan of dialect. My problem with Sarah is that hers appears to be put on because it definitely comes and goes. Granted, my "hillbilly" accent gets thicker when I'm back home and surrounded by people I know (and it disappears altogether when I'm in a foreign country and have to speak more clearly and enunciate more) but Sarah's ONLY seems pronounced when she's talking to her African American ex. That's kind of...ugh.

I am completely convinced that Ryan sank his hook into Whitney to try and capitalize over whatever popularity she has-Chase, maybe, too. And while I'm no fan of Ryan and I don't want to be his friend, I kind of admire the hustle. We're how many seasons in? None of her other friends and hangers on have done anything worthwhile with their ties to the show. They could've used their 15 minutes to grow a legitimate business or something. Nope. Ryan's learned how to play Whitney's game and reap benefits. As much as I think he's a slimy little weasel, I admire his drive.

We're not the only ones nitpicking-apparently the editors had to as well, but for different reasons...Now I have to go back and watch for stray asscracks. From an interview with ASP https://fashionweekdaily.com/amy-sherman-palladino-gilmore-girls-marvelous-mrs-maisel-wardrobe/

In one of these articles, or on Reddit, people were getting slammed for "making fun of poor Ed and his health issues" (ie, his neck). That he was being "body shamed" and how that was so sad since "he's a really good guy." Have they seen this show? Or most any reality show in the past 18 years? A lot of us watch just so we CAN make fun of the participants. Get with the program, people. As far as him being a "really nice guy", I prefer to withhold my judgment on that one until we're knee deep in the season. Statistically, though, when it comes to people on this show he has a much better chance of turning out to be a real asshat.

As much as I like to make fun of some of these heifers, Chon's drug addiction is a real problem and not a made up storyline. I don't think appearing on a reality tv show is going to bode well for his sobriety, much less the drama (made up or not) with Lacey. I wish he'd quit-and that goes for ALL the reality tv folks who are battling actual issues. Unless you're on INTERVENTION, this is not a place for you.

They've basically tried to write an entire comedic script and storyline around a line and idea that's only mildly funny when used in moderation on social media.

Clowney (snuggling in): Are we alone? Chon (grabbing her hiney): We're alone! Multiple camera men, producers, and production assistants (waving arms): You're NOT alone! Abort! Abort!

From previews, anyone pointing at themselves and asking their new partner "you like?" is just asking for trouble.

I cannot look away from his neck (or where his neck should be). I am fascinated by it.

The "Williams" with a "s" is something I've encountered with my husband's family. I think it's weird, too. It feels like a name for a butler.

Not a word about her great love...This is all for publicity IMO. And yeah, I bet something went down.

WTF is wrong with me? I think Chon and his voice are hotter than hell. It's the white trash side of me coming out...

My 8yo daughter said, "That's Dionne Warwick" without watching any of the clues. She also said, "Can you imagine signing on to do this show and walking into the first day thinking, 'I wonder what my costume will be? A peacock? A lion? A beautiful butterfly?' and they hand you a taco?" We giggled over that all night. Count me in on the banana being Bret Michaels. The clues for taco sound like Tim Allen but that voice sounded just like Tom Bergeron. We may be taking the trolley too literally.

Through her own Instagram. In the pictures that she took for Scarlet for the wedding issue, her own Insta handle was tagged and that's how people were finding her.

I think this show (or one like it) had the potential to be good, but so far it's missing out on all that potential. The whole "sit down, Boomer" stuff got real old real fast. We get it-the parents are out of touch with technology. Harping on that stereotype isn't enough to make it funny, though. There still needs to be some actual wit. It's too bad because I like Fran. Even with "The Nanny", though, it took a while for her to tone it down. I think she needs the right actors around her to bounce off of, or else she completely takes over and it's...not good.

Big Ed and I are the same height and as hypocritical as it will sound, it would probably be a dealbreaker for me. 4'11" isn't just short-it's tiny. I don't have preferences when it comes to age, skin color, hair color, facial hair, nationality, or vocation but height really does affect my ability to be physically attracted to someone. I think it may actually be a biological thing for me-seeking out men who are at least 5 inches taller than me because I am so short. I also hate it when women lie about age and pretend to be younger. Aside from being dishonest, advanced age could limit child bearing abilities (if that's important to them) amongst other things. I know men and women who don't want to date more than 10 years older because they're literally worried about their partner dying sooner and they are afraid of being left alone. Regardless of their reasons, it's super shady to lie like that. I'd be more upset by the lying than the truth.

I really feel like that first season of her at Chilton showed a different Rory in many ways, though. I actually liked her then-her studiousness, her weirdness, her awkwardness...Rory walking around with 3 books in her purse, eating lunch alone, not wanting to be late, not liking the silliness of the sorority....As the seasons went on, though, something changed. S1 Rory and S6 or S5 or any other season feel like different people to me, and not in the way that characters (or people IRL) naturally change over time anyway. I can't compare them.

Well, yeah, I understand this. My understanding does not stop the fact from annoying me. The two don't have to be mutually exclusive.

I wish I had spoilers for all these couples. Spoilers improve my enjoyment of this series.
