Y is for Yunoka Doyle, the actress who played a student of Roseanne's in, "Home-Ec." Z is for Zack, a poker playing friend of Dan's in "Five of a Kind." I had to dig deep for these, thanks IMDb!

I completely agree about delusional Breanna, it's a good decision to have her take some time off from filming, hopefully for good. I'm not a fan of Christy but I understand having a soft spot for someone, I think that's how I feel about Minnie from Atlanta. I like the rest of them on L.A. Jasmine is the sweetest.

I've seen the promos for LWLA while watching other programming on Lifetime:

What a choppy season and finale. Is that because the ratings are so low they were just trying to make something work? Why did Nico just show up in NY like that? Weird. Andrea's not going to give up her baby. Weird. Sam all of sudden has a BF in NJ? Then he stands her, her family and friends up on the first time they'll meet? Weird and choppy. Monie and Minnie didn't have storylines that I can remember, I guess that's why Labira was brought in. Weird and choppy. Tonya was the only one with a storyline and it was so boring. Blah. Me thinks another LW franchise will bite the dust. Dallas will bite it next, and LA has a couple of season's left under it's belt, I hope.

Regarding Elena becoming more likable, I've noticed that when unlikable women become mother's something really mellows them out and their sweetness is unveiled. I think that's happened to both Terra and Elena. I think Jasmine has always been sweet because Chris is so sweet, they're really a great couple.

Everything you said, AZ Curls, is spot on! I think Little People do qualify for SSI Disability, and you're probably right about these women not being too concerned if their kids dad's work. I forgot about Minnie's announcement! She was rewarded though, Juicy took the bait and it's over a podcast?! Juicy wants Minnie to be gone (this reminds me of Teresa and Caroline on RHNJ,) this is one reason I like Sam, she became a friend to Minnie when she could've easily jumped on the hate train. I don't mind her sticking around as long as she's a friend to all. IMO, it's nice to have someone in that position once in a while.

I've always hated Juicy being on the show, but a barn door was opened for the cow when Minnie tried to appropriate her career as "Miss Minnie, baby," manager to the Tiny Twins. I'm a sucker for Minnie, I know she's done stupid shit, but there's a vulnerability about her that I find endearing and I detest Juicy for taking advantage of that and Monie, too, for ganging up on her. Although, besides baby mama drama, the Juicy & Minnie feud is all this show has. Caylee from Dallas is going to be interesting, I think she'll be a great cast add-on! If you don't have talent all you have left is dysfunction, that describes this cast to a T -- Yikes!

It's probably a story arc next season, hence the aforementioned tweet by Joe was deleted.

I thought Teresa leaving the party with Delores and Sig was a genuine act of loyalty. She knew Siggy was beaten down from the show and Melissa would be fine at the party with Danielle and Margaret. I was glad she did it because it was just a nice thing that a true friend would do and that was what she expected from her at the Posche fashion show. It also saved me from hearing Delores snorting about it and how her group of real friends (I.e. Jacqueline) back each other up. Delores' "owning" the cosmetic procedures she had done was also a little attack on Melissa that Jacqueline could enjoy, remember Melissa's "contouring makeup," I.e. 3 nose jobs? Delores coming back with a team of haters seems about right.

I don't remember Delores from earlier seasons. Siggy's memorable because I felt it was clear that Caroline was ripping off her (highly competitive) career choice. I began disliking Caroline terribly when she started her know-it-all schtick, I loved that Teresa refused to go along with it. Do you remember Melissa trying to coax Teresa into taking Caroline's advice and Tre flat out said, I don't need her helping me mend my relationship with my brother. Melissa and Kathy were exasperated because that kind of an endorsement may have helped her sell more of her books. I've always thought every woman and several of the men on RHNJ are very jealous of Teresa's success with her books and likeable/love-to-hate personality. Back on topic: Yes, Siggy is really,really bad with relationships and her Zany Siggy act just doesn't work. Buh-bye Sigster, you won't be missed here.

She started making appearances on TV as a relationship expert in 2011, about the same time Caroline Manzo was cultivating her role as the relationship expert on RHNJ. Siggy was promoting her book in 2015, too. I remember Andy being surprised to find this out on WWHL when Siggy was a guest very early on. While he was he was putting it together, I thought she looked hurt but choked her pride down while insisting what good friends she and Caroline were and she supported her 100%.
