Thanks! How in the hell did he even get on this show?? I can't help but wonder if that scene with Vanya and her girlfriends was something production had a hand in to make sure she wouldn't stay in the same room with him for her safety - or to cover their own asses.

[S04.E02: Great Expectations]

Darcy, please put those "girls" away. I have seen more of her tits than I've seen of my own. And they are stuffed into her two sizes too small tops so much that they are practically touching her chin. Enough said about the facial disasters. And I was appalled at Stacy's appearance. I used to think that she was the - relatively speaking -  more attractive of the two, but that ship has sailed. Maybe she is myopic which would explain the makeup choices and maybe those hideous glasses are prescription. And that red lipstick smeared all over Darcy's puss reminded me of that horrific video of Anna Nicole Smith in the clown face.

Gotta admit that I laughed when Ed was asked about the e-cigarettes at security and said that smoking stunts your growth. 

Yolanda and Avery are pathetic. 

Lisa is just so unbelievably awful and delusional. She is definitely looking well worn and she must think she is sexy wearing that business in the back, party in the front outfit that we have to keep seeing her in. Every one of her friends has tried to talk some sense into her and she is still banging on about the song Usban "sung" her.

Sounds like Geoffrey has a closet full of skeletons. Will have to check what is out there.

So, the argument between Lindsay and Carl is that she wanted to stay in and he wanted to go out.  And she threw a fit when he went out?  That's craziness.

I always liked Lindsay and thought she got a bad deal with the whole Everett thing and a lot of her behavior was reactionary to his behavior, but now I see she's just crazy.  Apparently, if a man doesn't agree with whatever Lindsay says or wants to do, she throws a fit about it.

Yep, she's the mayor of Crazy Town.

I think Carl is the most attractive guy of this bunch but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.  The two of them have more issues than Readers Digest.

I did not get any impression the therapist was trying to trigger Randall.  I got the impression he was hostile from before he even arrived, and saw himself as a martyr for having to be there in the first place, as well as defensive and rude.

I do not like Rebecca much, so I was afraid I would hate this episode and her scenes with Kevin, but I enjoyed most of them.  I could have done with a lot less singing on her part, though.

I'm glad Kate and Toby came to some kind of resolution.  Three cheers for Madison for setting Kate straight on letting Toby feel and express his feelings to her freely without her belittling them and him.

Another three cheers for Beth for telling Randall he does NOT have his shit together, so she has to do it for the both of them and that makes HER the one who is bottling up all her stress, not that he ever ASKED how she was doing.

[S01.E04: Baby on Board]

I didn't mind the infant being on the trip - definitely better than a toddler, but what bothered me more than anything was the parent carrying the baby onto the boat on that skinny ramp. She had her hands full so couldn't hold onto the skimpy rail and what if she tripped? Wouldn't it have been safer to have the baby in a carrier?

I am very noise sensitive so don't blame Adam for being pissed about being woken up by Parker. Sounded like he was unintentionally banging around, and that could have been avoided.

I am not impressed with Jenna or her chief stew skills at all and she shouldn't be shit talking about the other stews to Adam.

I also think Paget is a crappy bosun and his girlfriend should not be working for him. She has no respect for his authority. I think that might be why he is treating Parker more harshly than he deserves.

Evan reminds me a little of Simon Barney, Tamra’s ex-husband from RHOC.  Simon didn’t age well.

I think Evan would look better if he shaved his head.  He’s clearly experiencing some male pattern baldness, which, no shame, but why do they hang onto it so damn long?  Get out the clippers!

If he shaved, he’d probably bear a slight resemblance to Caroline’s brother Jamie Laurita.  

I know this is mean, but I don’t find Evan attractive because his wife is Jackie.  I don’t even hate Jackie at all.  If I were ranking all the current housewives across the franchises, she’d be in my top half right now, probably my top third.  I just don’t understand how anyone can be married to her.  She seems like she’d be exhausting, always up in her head, always playing chess, always overthinking things.  He seems like such an easygoing guy.

Dr Bill is my favorite.  I don’t think any of them are particularly handsome though.  I don’t think many men are handsome, the way I find women to be beautiful.  I really think handsome is as handsome does, and I can’t gauge whether someone is handsome until I know their personality.  I find cruel men to be physically unattractive (not that I find any of the men on this franchise “cruel,” not even Joe Neanderthal.  Cruel requires intent).  I know this is old-school, but I think Mauricio Umansky is the most appealing husband on any franchise, because I like his personality.  I haven’t seen enough of Evan to think he’s attractive or unattractive.  Someone described him as “bland.”  Lol.

Funny, I find Mauricio less attractive because his wife is Kyle. I don't have any great affection for Jackie, but compared to the rest of the women on RHNJ I think she is okay. I also like Bill but.......wife.......

I always thought that Simon was a really good looking guy as well and feel terrible for him right now.

Thoughts on this supremely important topic:

 

1. I think he is hot but would like to see him without the beard to get a better idea

2. I hope Kyle didn’t hear you!  She is not going to want to give up Mauricio’s title anytime soon 

3.  Harry Hamlin not looking like he used to (who does?) but I still find him attractive.  Not insanely hot but still attractive. 

4. I’m sorry we never got to see RHOC Gina’s husband Matt.  In the pictures she has shown of him he looks really gorgeous and could take top prize!

 

 

 

To quote a friend of mine: "That's what makes a market". Maybe should have said that was my opinion. And for my taste, Evan has the rest of them beat, and also seems to be a stand up guy. The others above are okay, and I don't care if Kyle hears me or not 😛

A sincere question:  Why do you watch the show live, apparently including the commercials?  Doesn't everyone have a DVR, where you can start watching an hour in and finish on time? 

I'm wondering because I had a friend whose husband used to make a point to drive to the post office late on April 15 to file his tax return, putting himself right in the middle of that traffic jam.  I said, "Why in the world would he do that?"  She said, "He likes the pageantry."

That's something I never would have thought of, but it makes sense.  So I'm wondering about devoting two hours to this mess AND watching the commercials.

I record everything. And to top it off, I live on the west coast and only watch east coast feed channels so nearly everything I want to watch is three hours earlier for me and ready to go when I am home from work.

Derek should cut out the bathroom TMI. This is something that frat bros might find terribly amusing, but this is the one thing that I actually agree with Katie on - he is  lacking game. Aside from never being in love, I wonder if he has ever had a long term girlfriend. I doubt if any of them would be impressed with this kind of stuff. But, I still like him way better than her.

I feel Natalie is manipulative and passive aggressive.  She was losing Mike, so she flipped the script and found something to make herself the victim that he had to apologize to.  Just like with her childlike behavior and using sex, she was looking to manipulate Mike into doing what she wants as to religion, having a baby, and wanting her to come to the US.  This "betrayal" happened a year ago.  Would that not be before his Ukraine trip when she still wanted him?  As things went south due to her being difficult about accepting what he was willing to agree to as to believing in God, a particular faith, and having an immediate baby, seeing that she was losing Mike, Natalie tried pouting, holding back saying whether she loved him, baby talk, throwing the ring back at him, originally not going to the airport, all of which didn't work, until she found something she could use against him.  Something so horrible she couldn't even talk about it.  She turned the other cast members to her side as the teary eyed, needy, betrayed, victim based on something ridiculous blown out of proportion.  You lied that the groom was going to be there!!!!  No, not a lie, he was supposed to be there but didn't come.  Mike's stoicism  doesn't help him win the argument, so she is successful and he is still hooked trying to explain to her, which she will eventually accept to get her way, though she will hold this betrayal over him for the rest of their relationship.

You are incompatible as to religious beliefs, how you feel on the subject is important to each of you, nobody is willing to change position, so find someone you are compatible with and end the relationship because it is not workable. 

All of this. You know, I think I understand where Mike is coming from in terms of his views on religion. He said last night that he believes that there is life out there on other planets besides earth, and that he believes in a higher power. So he is not an atheist, but an agnostic. He doesn’t necessarily believe that ET is going to land on his property in Sequim any time soon. But he does not articulate this very well, and Nat doesn’t let him finish a sentence. She may as well have cotton balls in her ears and I don’t think she would get it or accept it even if she heard what he was trying to say. He just looks so beaten down and bewildered. These two need to pull the plug on this relationship. I hope he has some friends at home that can talk some sense into him.

Sequim doesn't sound like the type of place where you'd get a cab with any ease.  I don't know, I guess he could have waited forever for a cab, paid expensive cab fare to a hotel he doesn't have money for.  But you're right, he could have done that. 

I suspect she and best friend likely got into it AFTER Natalie lost her mind that Mike spent the night there.  Natalie seems bonkers and she was very scant on details, so I think it's possible she confronted the friend or said something.  

I don't drink period, but with that level of insanity and dysfunction going on I might have just left in whatever I was wearing too.  Like one of those horror movies where you're yelling at someone just to get out of the house before someone stabs them!  I think Natalie had locked herself in the bathroom and I'm not sure Mike wanted to go and change in Mama's bathroom.  

Agree. There may be more to this and am not sure that Mike is a choirboy, but Natalie wants him to change his fundamental beliefs and she does not seem to be flexible at all. If this is that important to her, she should cut her losses and find somebody who shares her faith. I am not even sure that a belief in God would be enough for her. Bottom line is she doesn't trust him - and she's bonkers.

I lost count of the times I told Tanya to STFU tonight. She just couldn't keep her yap shut, and she's full of it.

I think Grangela missed her calling as an evangelist. She was relishing that performance.

I feel kind of bad for Jasmin. I think she is an extreme introvert and that makes her socially awkward. If she was a drinker, she might loosen up. I think being Finnish is just a lame excuse. And as a non-drinking introvert myself, i can understand her discomfort,  but she really should make some small effort. I thought it was telling that she said she would be willing to hang out with the friends during the day. And maybe she doesn't drink for a reason.

[S07.E14: Tell All Part 1]

Well that was relatively boring. A few things worthy of snark.

I actually liked what Max said about the couples learning each other's cultures and languages, but don't think those kids belonged there.

Tania is still an utter asshole and a total flake, but she did look clean and presentable. I don't see this marriage lasting.

I would listen to Sasha 's nutrition advice long before his sister in law's. She looks like she should heed it as well. But he should find himself some shirts that fit.

I think that Shaun might finally  be getting the hang of this gig. She fired off a couple of pretty good questions along with her frequent customary "wow". 

I still am bothered by and question the authenticity of the Anna and Morsel situation, and really do not believe it went down the way we were shown. And he desperately needs to get himself enrolled in an ESL class. Maybe David Poor has room in his class if he is still teaching it.

I too am liking NAnny more every time I see her. Could have done without Grandma Porn though.

I don’t think Zach is just not physically attracted to Mindy . I think he thinks she’s annoying too. He should’ve never signed up for this show . He has put zero effort into anything and he made up his mind about her when she walked down the isle . If you’re not open minded , this show isn’t for you . I don’t blame Zack for not being attracted to her and for knowing that he won’t be able to move past that . Frankly , I wouldn’t be attracted to her either . But I also would never agree to be on a show like this . I personally need to actually know my husbands name and what he looks like before I marry him . Call me old fashioned .  This is the exact situation Kate and Luke were in , except luke had even deeper issues . 
 

So I agree that it is more than Zach not being attracted to Mindy – I think he is actually repulsed and can’t force himself to try to form an attraction. But he had the perfect opportunity to express this to Cal and he still lied and said he wanted it to work. I have felt that way about people in the past and there is nothing that can change that feeling, and even though they may not be ogres, I think chemistry is a very powerful thing and there’s more to it than looks. Just to be clear, I still think he is an inarticulate, vain, shallow twit. I really don’t see a big comparison between him and Luke. First of all, at least Zach is not having sex with Mindy.  I think Matt and Luke are more similar douchebags.

Katie is incredibly immature, which is what some of the ‘experts’ were concerned about – I think it was Pepper who convinced them that she was mature enough. She just went off about still being attracted to the ex to get back at Derek for being honest about his feelings. I predicted this infatuation would wear off, but it could still grow into something deeper if they were willing to work on it. And I wonder how much relationship experience Derek has – we certainly know that he’s never been in love… I really don’t think they have that much in common, though.

Meka sounds like she would be a very hard person to live with. And something is not right with Michael and why he just can't say what he actually said or at least what he meant to say. Meka is never going to let this go.

It is becoming clearer that Brandon has a substance abuse issue, as well as emotional ones. Maybe he is self medicating for his anxiety and/or depression. Not uncommon. Regardless, his behaviour is dickish and abusive.
