Yeah, but I'd say that about 90% of the show. If we limited our complaints and conversation to what's actually "real" then we'd only be left with the Squiem Mullet, deep cleavage, and cold shoulders.

Same here. Considering our personal anecdotes and Kalani/Aseulu in general I think we can safely say that A) it depends on state/area/realtor and B) there's no way they are buying a quarter of a million dollar house on part time yogurt work.

There was no middle ground for me in this episode-I was either very bored or very interested. They're continuing to choose cinematography over substance or sense. For instance, June walking through a frontline in the middle of the road LOOKED good but was stupid. I did greatly enjoy the Mayday convo they had in the extras, though.

I'm friends with a few realtor here and they don't require letters, either. They'll ask for budget and who you might be borrowing through. My realtor actually hooked me up with my lender. Aseulu and Kalani are like those couples who are all, "I teach muskrat yoga part time and he sells paintings of toenail clippings on the boardwalk. Our budget is $2 million." I think this is a story line, or else TLC is paying for the house (which could just be an Air BnB). Some of these folks are making bank on OF and Cameo. Real money, like $20,000 per month. If it were me I'd buy a house with a modest budget and pay in cash. Same with vehicles. And then, when all this ends, at least our cars and home would be paid for.

I have trouble wrapping my head around that, especially since Gilead as a place has only existed for such a short amount of time and not everyone grew up like that. What, 5 or 6 years? Hannah hasn't grown much.

Okay, Frozen, I love ya but I have to strongly disagree with this. There is nothing more stressful in having a new baby than having to listen to people chide and lecture you. I have 3 kids and I still don't know what I'm doing, and neither does anyone else. You learn by experience, not by someone standing over you and telling you everything you're doing wrong. The baby has a pediatrician. There are tons of websites out there that answer most every new parents questions. Unless she's doing something that puts the baby in immediate danger then Gwen needs to step back. She's not the mother. If Gwen truly wants to help then there are many things one can do to help out a new mom: do the laundry or dishes, cook a meal, run to the store, give the baby a bath, take out the garbage, fold baby clothes, offer to watch the baby while Yara naps or takes a bath... My MIL came to stay with us when our son was a week old. I fed him and rocked him to sleep, but then held onto him instead of putting him to bed. I was just enjoying holding him. My MIL immediately went into this big about how I needed to put him down, that he needed to stretch, that I needed to think about HIS needs, etc. The thing is, I was getting ready to put him to bed, but when she went into her helpful advice I changed my mind. I sat there for 2 hours, until I thought my arms would fall off and I was going to pee all over myself. The most helpful people to us as new parents were our friends with multiple kids. Giving us confidence by telling us that we had it and that we were doing great helped more than anything my MIL said. It also made us feel comfortable to call them if we had questions...and we did. A lot.

It's her disguise. She's pretty on the outside but inside she's tough and ornery. I love it. Is anyone actually entertained by Aseulu and Kalani? I can't even snark on them. Watching them makes me uncomfortable.

Watched with my DD who later demanded to know why I don't post selfies on the Live Chat of us watching the show anymore...and then got mad that I'd taken one of her while she was sleeping. I told her I'd post on the reg thread. So here we are: my regular watching buddy and the sick puppy, Chandler. She loves Julia and Yara, has decided that Brandon is a "Peter Pan" ("I KNOW guys like him, Mommy, and they never grow up"), Angela and her snorting is the "3rd layer of Hell," and Natalie might be nuts but that the "Dollar Store version of Blake Shelton" ('he probably likes Nickleback AND bro country, Mom") may have "messed with her head."She's also my budding vet. She wants to be a YouTuber who "teaches kids about animals." She loves the snark everyone brings. I read a lot of the comments to her. She feels like she knows some of you. In this episode she told Gwen to "take a seat, Sis." For Angela: "If Mykull did that she'd throw a cake at him. A good cake, too. Like a DQ one. People just waste a lot." Re Julia, "No wonder She wants to move to Vegas. Her in-laws are cray Cray. She'd probably move into Wal-Mart like that one girl if she could." Thinks Mike is "totally shady" about Picturegate. She also spent 2 hours waiting for Liz and Ed. "There are just too many shows. I'm confused, Mom!" I told her we were, too. She would also like you to know that her hand was petting the dog and this wasn't, as her brother said, some "crazy Deaven photoshopping stuff." When he teased her she said, "I'm not a Catfish! Who the heck do you think I am? Tom?!" That both of my kids can name drop cast members makes me both proud and ashamed.

I missed Ick & Company. The Snowdens' house doesn't look like it has enough bedrooms for each "queen" to have her own.

I'm really enjoying it and Pillow Talk.

It is. My son and I get forks and put it between us on the bed and watch bad horror.

Well guys, it's been real but I watched the full episode the other day and I gotta get back to my sick puppies. A high level of genius snark tonight.

lol, we were posting at the same time.

Well, to be fair he HAS been busy with his beauty supply store. About 55%.

It doesn't make sense. The skin only becomes excessive once the person loses weight.

Well, see, now you're just using logic. There's no room to be reasonable with these people.

Apparently! Who knew?

Really? I don't see it.

Brandon can kiss my ass.

Poor Mykul. It was the one thing (or two things) that made Angela appealing to him...

Yeah, but it's more because they didn't have all the paperwork done.

Samoa must have some good shit down there to drink because it was apparently strong enough for Kalani to look at Aseulu as a potential sex partner and then to act on it.

Kolini does. Out of all the cast members, hers is actually the bed. She has some stunning photos.

She can't. It's like, her brand.

Angela's a sexual harassment charge waiting to happen.
