Hah! I didn't even think about Americanising '100s and 1000s'. I should have said 'sprinkles' except we have them too and they are a different shape to the former, which are spherical. Globalisation really calls for a standardisation of food and drink names.

I had to google 'Princess Toast' and...no, it's not. It's literally what Izzy made- white bread covered in thick margarine and sprinkled with 100s and 1000s. Simple, economical and gross.

It's not a surprise, though. I saw 'The Queen of Versailles' and negligent is the polite word for their parenting. And of course the King of Versailles was a Covid minimiser. Did they ever finish building that monstrosity of a house? Elizabeth continues to be useless. The more I see of her the more astounded I am by her incompetence. I mean, Kasey from BDM didn't know how to make a Bloody Mary and had only worked on a pontoon that never left the dock and even she had picked it up by now. I'd love to know what her 5 years of experience actually entails. She's irritating me so much that I'm glad she got that awful fairy bread cake which ordinarily I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. They were a staple of kids parties when I grew up, along with jelly set in hollowed out oranges and I'm here to say- they ain't right.

Not quite on topic but Jon just joined Twitter and the only account he followed is Arby's. I always forget how much I miss him until he pops up and does something like that.

I think most of the preference sheet lunacy comes from production. A guest from a few seasons ago posted a blog about his experience and he said they asked him to name the best meal he'd ever had and he wrote "a 12 course banquet in Taiwan". Production then reworded that to make it his demand. These guys are so over the top enthusiastic I'm sure the question was "name your favorite cuisine" and they just rhapsodized about every food they've tried, wanted to try or seen a picture of, which then became their demands. I'm not sure if Elizabeth is just getting stuffed around by editing but if not she's useless. Isn't she supposed to have 5 years experience? She reminds me of Raquel on Vanderpump Rules- probably a nice person and kind to old people and stray dogs but unable to hold more than one thought at a time. Same. Francesca for the win

For me the best part is that he drove the car to a shopping center with his pregnant wife, got out the beer kart, started doing laps around the parking lot while posing for photos by the paparazzi that he obviously paid to be there, all the while leaving his pregnant wife in the car. Once he's taken enough he remembers she's there and goes and gets her an apology bottle of chocolate milk that was rancid, going by the expression on her face. That man is all love.

Fucking finally! Those windows you heard rattling? That was a primal scream of triumph emanating from the Southern Hemoisphere. He's going to be so miserable, stuck at home with a woman he doesn't love and a baby he doesn't want. And now no job! Drag him to Kentucky, Brittany. Put him to work in the Beer Cheese factory. And once a week hook him up to those Clockwork Orange eye things and force him to watch Ariana and Sandoval in a TomTom spin off( if it happens). God, I'm unnaturally thrilled about this. The best part, aside from all the misery he's in store for, is the fact that he was blindsided. I'm sure he thought he'd dodged the sacking bullet because it's been so long since Stassi and Kristen.

Fun fact- the agent said she only did that because it became clear at some point that he wasn't comfortable with touch (maybe he tensed up when his dad did it and she saw). So she kept doing it. I don't know if that was an interview technique or a 'fuck you' to Chris Watts but if he was uncomfortable I'm happy with it.

I don't know anything about the prison but the Daily Mail(I know, I know) said he was on 23 hr lockdown with no tv or radio and the only book he can have is the bible. So that sounds like a miserable existence. I just don't understand his game. His most common explanation was that he wanted to be with his girlfriend. Ok, fine. So he kills his family, rocks up at her door and says 'babe, we can be together now' and.... that's it? Was she never supposed to ask 'where are your children?' Shanann's friends obviously loved her, did he think they'd never ask where she was? Her parents? Her business? It was just dumb all the way through which is why i don't think it was planned more than a day in advance. If anyone has a block of about 5 hours watch the polygraph interview and confession on you tube. It's fascinating to watch his story crumble and Chris try to save himself.

His whole family is odd. His mum was pretty unsympathetic although I think her issues were standard 'I don't like my daughter in law' and an inability to believe that her golden child was capable of this. The dad was just odd. He became a coke addict because his son moved out when he was 18? That's lunacy. They were a strangely co-dependent family but I still wouldn't point to that as a reason for what he did. And aside from the act itself he did EVERYTHING wrong. Parked the car in the wrong spot when he loaded the bodies. Randomly announced that they were separating to everyone once they were missing. Doing a tv interview. Taking a polygraph. Not asking for a lawyer. Watching 2 episodes of SVU would have saved him from all of these mistakes. They were probably going to get him anyway but he certainly made it easier. I wish the doc included more of the follow up interview the agents did once he was sentenced. You really get an idea of what a squirrelly person he is. He talks about his parents being unable to accept it and still believing Shannan killed the kids even though he has told them 'I pled guilty and am in here for a reason'. The agents ask if he wants them to talk to them and tell them that he unequivocally admitted what happened and he said no. So he admits to something vague whilst continuing to give his family false hope because even now he's too much of a coward to own what he did in full.

Not always. When I was younger there was a man who was part of a really disgusting pedophile ring in my state. The last victim was the son of the local newsreader who was grabbed 50 meters from his house. I won't post the details, it's fucking disgusting and you can't unlearn it. The police think they were responsible for at least 5, although probably more, murders. This sounds like QAnon bullshit but this actually happened. They only nabbed one person for it and he got life in prison. You'd think he'd be despised and targeted but the truth is he's a protected prisoner and within that echelon he's at the top. He's living as good a life as you can whilst being in prison and I think if you're manipulative enough you can make your life easier in jail. I'm not sure Chris Watts has those skills yet but he can learn them. I semi followed this case at the time but watched the whole interrogation on youtube once. He's not a mastermind, that's for sure. When will these family annihilators learn that if you pull something like this you will ALWAYS be the starting point for the cops. They start with the spouse and then work their way out if they clear you. This man might as well have been carrying a sign that read "Yes,I did it". I think he fell in love with someone else, was drowning in debt and wanted out. I don't think he "planned" it but I also don't believe anything he said about why he did it or the sequence of how it happened. It changed every single time, depending on his audience. He's just a weasel.

Oh, totally. I'm still holding out hope they'll be fired. I'm speaking about the life that WON'T be filmed. And about how miserable Jax and Brittany are going to be living it. It'd be nice if they could suffer without ruining a child. As I have no power over that I'm just going to enjoy the misery, repeated infidelities and bankruptcy filings that are coming.

Yeah, Carole is an 'influencer'collector and displayed some pretty nasty character traits by the time she left but she's not a monster. I find it very hard to believe she would have stayed friends if she knew Ghislaine was the procurer of children for a pedophile. As you said, a lot of people were drawn to her. She founded a (dodgey) enviromental NGO, she spoke at the UN. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have invited her if they knew. Carole is disgusting for her defence of Dorinda but I'm going to give her a pass on knowingly sucking up to a pimp of a sex offender.

Oh, the humanity. That poor fetus. The silver lining is how miserable and trapped Jax is going to feel once a) people focus on Brittany more during the pregnancy and b) once the kid comes and the focus is on him. I'm going to take a lot of mean pleasure from his unhappiness. Because he's the worst.
