If I went over and authoritatively demanded that my mom change bedrooms then the next time I returned the locks would be changed.

I couldn't even finish it. St. Simon's is literally my second home. It was bad enough when Irma hit us a few years ago. I can't deal with Hurricane Whit.

This season's been a little dull. The only redemption is if, for the finale, Sandra Lee's the guest judge and they all have to make Kwanzaa autumn harvest cakes.

Ironically, I bought my first dragon fruit yesterday. No idea what to do with it, I just thought it was pretty.

Even Shawn knows she'll need alcohol for that...

I wonder if Shawn was able to rent the same Air BnB from last season?

Okay. So the hot French guy is like an intern for the production team, right? Cause dude looks 19 years old.

Well, fuck. Came here to post my Arabic man eva-duhns and saw that you guys have already figured it out. I'm about 2 weeks behind. (On everything, not just this news.)

The tutor that she actually PAYS. Ay yi yi. I'm pretty sure he's a real dude. However, I'm not convinced that he's the guy we're hearing. I think there MAY be a real guy out there on a language app who she's been paying to teach her French. I think she's probably really into him. I'm not sold, however, on it being the guy we've "met." I don't think he's a native Frenchman, either. I think he's perhaps Arabic.

I watched the episode early on Discovery+ and egads! Am I the only one NOT seeing an interest from Frenchie? He just sounds like he's trying to be polite to me. I see lots of bullying flirting on her side, nothing on his. Poor Babs. I felt sorry for her at the chiropractor. I hope she saw her family doctor for Xrays, too. I love my chirp but serious things should be ruled out first. So what are the odds of Will letting her be a trainer in his gym? I don't think he even LIKES her. I also think the waterworks were a tactic when pushing didn't help. He said himself that she didn't like following through with things. Loved her face when he basically told her that her weight would be an issue. Hey, I took bellydancing lessons from a 400lb woman and she was amazing. She'd glide across the floor like ice. It's not just the number on the scale that's an issue for Whit, it's that the number impedes some of life's basic functions. I wouldn't mind training with an overweight woman. If said woman had trouble walking, though, then I'd definitely question her commitment to fitness. She thinks she's "modifying" the workouts, but I'm not so sure that the modifications are actually helpful, especially since Whitney doesn't have a license. Also, Jessica, honey. Whit does not lack self esteem. When she says she thinks she can't do something it's either because she lacks follow through or she's fishing for ego stroking. And when she DOES do things that she probably shouldn't (like scaling a waterfall) it's because she's trying to show off, not due to perseverance. Will has her number, wish his daughter did. If I were Heather I'd get a hysterectomy. Or at least say I did.

I spent years traveling the world alone, but I earned money as a freelance travel writer. My mom never financed those trips. (Well, once, but it was a gift and I took HER the next time.) If traveling is her thing then go for it. Bur, yeah, seriously. They need to cut her off. If she wants to travel like that then she can figure out a way to pay for it. I keep forgetting that she's not a 19yo.

Jenny can't legally work in India. She's there as a tourist. Some small places might hire her under the table, but no major company will. Those jobs are in high demand.

I have a friend who says the same. He also said she was in there last week and was only gone for a few weeks at most. This seems to be more TLC fuckery.

No way Ellie is "moving" to Colombia. 6 days to leave and she still needs to sell everything and pack? She's still listed as the sole owner of her restaurant, I guarantee it. Girlfriend is setting her place up as an Air BnB and going on an extended vacation. They must be selling a helluva lot of those blankets with their faces on them...

I adore this show. However, even though having new content and hearing their voices was great, I didn't dig the animated special. For me, not only was the story not that interesting but the whole thing felt...flat. IMO the best part about the show is the amazing chemistry between the leads and you just can't get that in animation. Still, love the show and will take whatever I can get.

I couldn't get over Anne's parsnips plate looking like a small collection of penises.

Lol, I'm sorry! I can see that now. 😁

I made that same deal in 1986 on a Happy Meal box. He was Joseph and I was Mary in our kindergarten Christmas play. I made another one in middle school on my Trapper Keeper and to my best guy friend in college on a condom wrapper (unopened). I stole the idea from Designing Women. I was covering all my bases. My mom made a deal with her best girl friend in their Appalachian boarding school in 1962. Actually, she thinks they may be (illegally) married. She doesn't remember a lot of that night. Alcohol was involved. They were ahead of their time.

I'm sorry! Let's try that again... It's all totally legit, they're real diners, and they spend a shit ton of money to eat there and be filmed. 😁

This is my annual "deceased child" post and picture. He died 11 years ago. Doesn't seem like it's been that long.

None of those guests are actually "real" guests and none have to pay. In fact, sometimes the guests get paid. It's several hours of filming.They bring in volunteers. Sometimes it's family members and friends of the filming crew and sometimes it's just random people. You used to be able to put your name on the list if you wanted to go. I've been invited in 3 times and went once. Frankly, it was long and boring but in addition to free food Mom and I made $100. Production assistants will literally stand outside and hand out invitations to people as they walk by. If the tables aren't all full then they'll go out on the Strip right before filming and look for people who are dressed up a bit.

For me the question was who in the hell goes to Hell's Kitchen during filming hungry?

Me either. He sounds like someone whose first language isn't French.

I was out as soon as I heard "fat girl retreat on St Simons Island." We own a vacation house there and spend most of our summers on SSI. I don't want it tainted.

Were they really expecting the girls to show symptoms on the same day they were exposed? Ay yi yi. So Darcey heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another Georgi said she was trash? Ay yi yi. With all this self sabotage and her codependency on Stacey, Darcey needs massive amounts of therapy. There's a bit of a cognizant disconnect going on.
