    No, they were a couple, and were cast as such, that's why Slade, this fame whore acted as a HW.

    That is correct. Slade saying he's quitting the show during a reunion makes more sense now. As much as some viewers and sometimes the Housewives don't like for the men to get involved, sometimes they're talent as well. For any flaws, Slade is an attractive guy who is outspoken and not camera shy. I'm sure producers thought he would be great.

    We must have been watching different shows. I remember watching Teresa encourage that skeevy guy to walk over and say what he did. Yet it came out that Melissa had never worked for him or "stripped". That was just Teresa trying to build a storyline.

    Also Melissa was at the party when Teresa acknowledge her chosen family.

    Are we watching RHNJ? Or is that you, Teresa,?

    The Gorgas don't always handle things perfectly. I actually saw Teresa's side quite a bit this season. I wish they eased up on her and just let her be happy and have her wedding as she wants. But I tend to be team Melissa and Joe just because they seem like nicer people and don't stoop to Teresa's level.

    Only 2 that I know of got into porn.. The Curtin girls. Not the Knickerbocker girls.

    Has Lynne Curtin ever said anything about this? I can't imagine any parent being thrilled their children would go into such a dark industry. So much drug usage, high suicide rate, etc. I know a lot of people who get into porn went through trauma and mental health struggles before ever doing porn, but I don't think going this route could possibly help.

  4. Noella's constant raunch is too much. 

    Heather gets a lot of grief for being pretentious, but I will take pretentious over trashy any day. I much prefer to watch a classy lady like Heather to the likes of Noella, Kelly, Tamra, Vicki, Braunwyn, etc. You could actually take her places!

    I love house Porn too, but I find her "house" hideous, so it's no fun.

    I wouldn't say hideous, but definitely not cozy. I'm not a fan of museum-like houses. I like homes like Kyle Richards'. Yolanda and David Foster's house was gorgeous as well. 

    Part of the appeal of the franchise has always been lifestyle porn. Maybe it's hard to get the right balance or please everyone. I'm a fan until it goes from "ooh must be nice" or maybe you just have to be really rich to find that kind of spending appropriate to spending money like it comes from tap. The Dubrows take their spending too far for my tastes. I know Terry is a really successful surgeon, but still. 

    I enjoy seeing mansions, luxury cars, designer clothes, travel porn, etc. When I hear about things like Erika Jayne's $40,000 a month on glam alone or $30,000 for just a random party, I don't find it aspirational. I find it excessive. 

    Speaking of spending and charity work, Joanna Krupa is one Housewife who was awesome in this regard. She enjoyed the fruits of her labor. I remember she had at least one gorgeous home and beautiful things, but also said in interviews she didn't have a favorite designer, that super high priced skin care was a waste of money, that she'd rather give back than spend on her money on things like shoes, etc. She was and I believe is very philanthropic with animal charities. She made her own at one point, not positive if she is still working that particular one.

    Good question. 50% so far. That's unusual but not unheard of

    I love Shane

    I like Shane too. What's refreshing about him is he seems like a normal dude, and I get his humor. I also love a confident little man!

    Legit mailers usually have an ‘unsubscribe’ and/or ‘email preferences’ option (that often actually works).  

    It’s the true spammers that you shouldn’t unsubscribe or reply to. That just lets them know they got an actual person’s email, so the address becomes more valuable. 

    Usually is the keyword! DSW is probably the only legit mailer where reducing the number of emails in their preferences didn't work for me. I'm not sure if they're any better these days. We'll see. 

    Correct, good advice. I try to be carful what I click on, but I appreciate the reminder. Some spammers are pretty skilled.

    Emily looks a lot better without clothes then with them. She should just wear a bathing suit. 

    Curvier women who have a degree of body fat tend to look better without clothes, especially if they're trying to dress trendy. Think of those Old Hollywood actresses. They had great figures, but because they had bigger hips, fuller thighs and softer tummies, things like skinny jeans and bodycon dresses wouldn't do much for their figures. I'm a more petite person than Emily, and the way I dress when I'm a size 2 is very different from when I am a 4-6. When I'm naked, I don't look bad with the few extra pounds, but if I wear stuff that's skintight, it's not cute, and I have never been even close to plus size. 

    I think Emily should look to Old Hollywood and Mad Men for fashion inspiration. She was blessed with beauty and has a great shape. She can show off her beautiful curves in a way that's flattering and comfortable. 

    I'd love to see her in more outfits like this.

    Can you hit "spam"? That's what I do with emails from sources I've had nothing to do with (this is usually in my own subaccount, the one I use when registering at websites). I only use our joint email address to register with the NY Times & the Washington Post.

     

    I have before and will do so again! I was hoping they got their emails under control so I wouldn't have to check my junk folder to get my coupons.

  9. Does anyone know why Shannon uses last names so frequently? Several seasons ago, she said if she knew multiple people with the same first name, she would include a last name, like Heather Dubrow. I also wondered if maybe it was something she did just because she was new and these women weren't her real friends.

    But I heard her say "John Jansen" about her serious partner in one of the last episodes I watched (season 16 I think). The only other person I've seen do that is Lisa Rinna about Harry Hamlin, but I figured Rinna did that because Harry is famous.

  10. People being pushy with stuff they sell. I know a woman who insists she's not a pushy person but will ask what makeup I use and then suggest what she sells. She'll ask what my mother likes and then bring up what she sells. It's pretty routine. 

    This exact attitude is part of why I avoid purchasing stuff like Mary Kay, Avon, Amway, etc. I'm sure some good people go that route for a side hustle, and I see nothing wrong with making money through sales. But there are so many pushy people who only care about money in their own wallets, it makes me want to avoid all those companies at all costs, not to mention the fact some people go that route and lose thousands of dollars because they're not aggressive. My heart goes out to them.

  11. I’m so sorry. I’m on my phone and accidentally clicked report instead of quote! Never had that happen before. If a mod sees this, I did not mean to report the post above or anything else.

    When I say cast as a couple, I don’t mean Jo and Slade were individually cast to pretend to be together, but Slade was cast to be on the show with Jo.

    No - these 2 tools that were on the season that Jax, Stassi and Kristen got kicked off and they decided to bring in some new people.  Max was the manager at Tom Tom at the time, and is now the guy who is "literally" Schwartz' new best friend that Katie hooked up with.  He was known for sleeping with all the female wait staff at Tom Tom and Sur.  Little weasel of a guy - at least Jax was big and buff.  Brett was a server and personal trainer - LVP pretended he was training HER for the show and loved to make constant jokes about him taking his trousers off.  He tried to make a name for himself by shaming Scheana on camera for liking him, even though the girls all agreed that off camera he flirted with her and led her on.  Scheana and Charlie both did a great job in talking back to him and making him look like the ass that he was 😂

    Thanks so much for clearing that up! I was confused because Max Todd always seemed like a sweet young man.

    Is it really such a big deal to have to go one night without drinking tequila?  Especially when there will be other kinds of alcohol there?  The way these women are reacting you'd think Braunwyn told them they had to go without oxygen.

    Seriously, perhaps they all have a problem.

    I am finding Shane amusing this season.  It even shocks me.

    I found him amusing last season . . .

    I am a sarcastic person myself, so maybe that's why. A lot of people found it insensitive when Emily talked about always wanting another daughter and he said he always wanted to be six feet tall. Perhaps it was insensitive, but it did make me bust out laughing. 

    I too was curious to see how Shannon would handle the rona! lol
