  1. Darn, I missed this, and they haven't put it on On Demand yet. They keep moving this show around, I think, and yes the other programming stinks. I stopped watching Jersey Housewives and all the other current shows except Melbourne and Million Dollar Listing LA. The new Manzo program looks intolerable.

  2. I'm hoping when Derick got to the Duggar house as Jim Bob was just telling his Mom she was watching all the little kids for a couple of days was a reenactment.   Derick did not even acknowledge Grandma.  She was standing right behind Jim Bob and Derick didn't as much give her a look, not to mention a hand shake or a hug or a greeting.  Just seems weird that he wouldn't honor her by saying hello and/or giving her a nice side hug.

    Maybe because the whole entrance was staged and he had already greeted her. No one thought to direct him to . do it again.

  3. Josiah's been at ALERT programming camp pretty much all year, with a couple of 2-week breaks in between "tours." I think they let him out for Jill's wedding, but I know he spent his 18th birthday there. Poor guy. Talk about forgotten...

    Didn't John Doofus also go to ALERT?  Wouldn't they have done some rapelling there, so he should have felt comfortable doing that jump.  His wimp-out performance (not to mention his below-average looks and austistic-spectrum personality) will be driving away the potential brides.

  4. OMG, the $19 lawsuit today!  She didn't sue over the other lady stealing half of her vodka, just for the $19 she had in her coat, and the defendant claiming that she kicked the plaintiff out of her house because she was wearing Depends and was peeing on her chair.  The plaintiff claims she called the police, the defendant claims the police were never called,.

     

    Not to mention whatever it was that the defendant's witness, "Cowboy", was wearing.

     

    "We drinks."  "See ya!"

    This is one of the greatest episodes ever.  I rarely laugh out loud at any TV, but I was screaming with laughter at this one, although I felt a bit guilty laughing at such afflicted people.

  5. I watched the show and still don't know if it's tennis, yachting, or some kind of horse event, so they're in good company.

     

     

     

     

     

    One of the most hilarious housewives exchanges in ANY franchise, anywhere (paraphrased)

     

    "She says you said I was brainless!"

    "No,  I said I didn't think you were very bright."

    1)  I looked up Melbourne Cup on Wikipedia.  It seems to be equivalent to the Kentucky Derby.

    2)  agreed--one of the most hilarious exchanges ever.

  6. Okay, I can't help myself.  Andrea just doesn't stand up straight!  It looks awful whenever they show that opening clip of her hitting a tennis ball.  And other times.

     

    I struggle with posture, and other things, but that's a reason, among many, I wouldn't put myself on TV!

     

    Andrea also has a low-class accent:  She adds that Boston R at the end of words, e.g., she pronounces Chyka as "cheeker" and Gina as "jeaner," and so on.

     

    That is all.

  7. Smirking troll, indeed:  love your description.

    Really one of the most bizarre, irritating litigants ever.

    That's why it was almost a JJ first: awarding the plaintiff the full amount on a loan that really was not formalized in any way because there was no way anyone would front someone that much money without an expectation of getting it back.  I think troll was trying to portray plaintiff as some kind of love interest, but it didn't work.

  8. I'm not a huge Wiig fan, it feels like she's been playing the same character in each movie since she finished playing the same characters on SNL, but that's just my take. Watching her and Hader together was quite entertaining though and I was only bummed when Hader basically apologized for telling the truth, that the Biebs was just the worst.

     

    Who knew Meredith Viera would come to the rescue of the truth?! I wanted to bow down when she coughed out that tidbit about Matt Lauer! Now, I know his lazy, lecherous ass was surely not tuning into a former co-worker's talk show appearance, but I'm sure it will make his twitter feed that he's surely reading on his morning flight from the Hamptons to 30 Rock. Mindy looked impressed; she could take a page from Meredith's book, but I don't think Mindy likes to call anyone out.   

    For those of us who did not watch, please tell us what the tidbit was.  Bravo has a tidbit from the aftershow on its web site, but there she is saying something nice about Lauer. 

  9. I tuned it to see Rosie O.  I liked her as the moderator.  I think the show would be improved with her returning to that spot. 

    I really didn't watch often in the intervening years.

     

    I find this boring so far and I think I will stop watching.

  10. Bravo needs to apologize for that episode.  I feel badly for the other story having to share that disgusting wierdo with their story.

    This episode is so problematic I would not be surprised if it is destined for the dustbin of history, removed from any further displays, downloads, on-demand performances, etc.  Could be legal trouble for Bravo airing this.

  11. Thanks for all the great comments above. I haven't got time to write such well thought out posts, but you've all now summed up what has been laid out for us over the season.

    Just want to add that here in NYC the cosmetic dermatologists and plastic surgeons also do the same thing with skin care lines, so I agree that Andrea is piggybacking on hubby.

    Jackie: $4,000 for tacky lingerie with weird superhero swirls over her boobs? What was that?

    Lydia: weirdly oversexualized with her frequent double entendres. But when she laid herself back in that exam chair I wanted to apply eye bleach. There is something wrong with her. People who have that compulsion to always insert a zinger that makes everyone uncomfortable have some form of personality disorder. She thinks she is being edgy, but maybe she has some damaged sexual history.

  12. ^^I mean...isn't that entrapment??

    You put the water there! You put a glass there! I'm parched damnit!

    Whaddayaexpect?

    This water fetish is really unfair.  In real court they put out water pitchers, and you are allowed to use them!  I might hesitate when it was my turn to speak . . . but otherwise.

     

    Anyway, I'm just happy we have new episodes.  It's been a long break.  On to watching. 

     

    People's Court started yesterday, but JJ was preempted for tennis.

  13. What exactly is a motorcade? From the pictures it looked like they were referring to a large parking area outside their house.

    I have always heard them refer to it as as motor court, not a motor cade. (a motorcade is the bunch of motorcycles escorting the president's limousine). Madame Puppet has also referred to it by its French name, porte-cochere, with what she no doubt believes is perfect French pronunciation.

    It's a big overhang in the front for cars to drive up under--like at your local Hampton Inn.  That's why many of the snarkers here have referred to the project as the hotel.     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porte-coch%C3%A8re

     

    They are extraordinarily proud of this feature.

  14. I loved Joan. I'm proud to say I went to the same college.

     

    I once got to see one of her live performances.  It was uproarious.   I always listened to her on Stern, and I watched Fashion Police and some of her other shows, like "How'd You Get So Rich," which was rerun yesterday.

     

    I never had watched her on Celebrity Apprentice, so I watched some of those episodes on Youtube yesterday, which was interesting.  Interesting that Donald Trump fired famewhore Khloe Kardashian in episode 6 or so because Khloe had a DUI.  Trump is a famous lifelong teetotaler, apparently, and made a strong statement against drunk driving by firing her, even though she was carrying out her sentence.
