Somebody was deranged, but I don't think it was Ree.

Welcome, Vixenstud. To answer your question (partly), I haven't seen Mike on again since that one time. I don't know why. Maybe he doesn't have any money to leave to her like PawPaw does.

mmcorday, you're in rare form today! LOL Maybe you're rare all the time, and I'm too slow to notice it! "An episode of Rawhide with sandwiches" "long strands of clown hair" 😂😃😂

Agreed, but I think she lost her freshness after one year on the air.

Once in a blue moon I read Ree's "Confessions" on her website. (I don't know why she calls her silly columns by that name.) Anyway, she posted this week that she has filmed 8 new shows in 9 days. She said further that she refilmed a new opening, saying that it's just like the original one only with a new location (her porch). I guess these new shows mean more of her mom's recipes and a few church cookbook stir-togethers. Who knows?

Where is everyone? In Pawhuska, visiting the ranch? 😥

Ree seems to be fond of making those "10 questions" shows like "10 Reasons Why I Love Ladd" or whatever. Having noticed on her Ree-runs lately that her hair color goes from red to brown and then back again, I wonder whether she'll do a "10 Questions About My Hair" one of these days. I'd watch it.

I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but could someone please tell me why Phil has to grab his wife's hand and walk her out of the studio after every show? I get so tired of the cameras focusing on Robin and her reacting to things he's said. My husband watched one day and surmised that maybe she was envious/jealous of his fame and that this was Phil's way of placating her. I can't watch the show often, but I've always wondered about this. It seems so odd to me. I even looked up the answer online but found nothing.

I agree with Mindthinkr. I don't know which came first, her height or her size, but either one would preclude Ree from performing in ballet. We also don't know whether she was good enough in her ballet classes to make a career of it. But never mind. She still does her cutesy little ballet step when she backs away from the counter and takes her first step to walk away. Also, I can't imagine that she hasn't performed dozens of times for Ladd and the kids! Wouldn't you love to be a mouse in the corner?

Ree talks frequently about having studied ballet for years and about always wanting to be a ballerina. I wish she had become one.

LOL, Novhappy! When isn't Ree's voice childlike and irritating? When she judges cookie contests, she speaks in a normal voice, but she talks entirely differently on her show. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ree wants to be girlish to combat aging. She often acts just like her daughters -- except that they seem more mature than she often does -- and I suspect that her long hair has something to do with that. I could be wrong, but sometimes it's fun to play armchair psychiatrist (not that I'm any good at it).

Ree seems hellbent for leather to remind us that once upon a time she had boyfriends. Brag, brag, brag. She was mixing up some chocolate sugar cookies on a recent rerun and monogramming each one with the letter "R" (what else???). It seemed like the perfect time (to her) to mention that she used to make these cookies for a certain boyfriend. "Don't tell Ladd," she grinned in a conspiratorial tone. Yet this was only the beginning. After a few more stirs of her batter, she expanded her story by saying that quite a few guys were the lucky recipients of these cookies with messages on them that said, "YOU'RE CUTE!" and other sassy remarks. She put on a shy smile but couldn't hold it and beamed proudly like she'd been the belle of the ball. Again we were admonished not to tell Ladd. Really, Ree, I wouldn't think of boring poor Ladd with your "confessions." I imagine he's heard the stories again and again ad nauseum in your attempts to convince him of how fortunate he was to win you. *Sigh*

I don't understand why Ree is having Purina make her "homemade" dog treats when most of her dishes on TV would qualify as dog food. On the other hand, feeding those dishes to dogs might result in someone contacting the humane society. I love animals and can't stand to see abusive treatment of them, especially not by Ree. I guess if the dogs of the world go on a hunger strike we'll know why.

Mac and cheese stuffed into thin slices of ham sound good to me, but not into hot peppers. Didn't Ree say something to the effect of "Any excuse for a jalapeno," or was that in another show? I was a bit surprised when Ree let out with a whoop at the end of the painting class. She didn't know anyone there, so I took her whoop as one more attempt to draw attention to herself. She was probably hoping that someone would throw her a dirty look so that she could retort with "I own the building! I can do whatever I want!!!" Purina, Purina, what are you thinking??? Homemade dog treats ... and the money just keeps rolling in.

I suspect that Ree is following me. More and more, and still more of her shows keep adding themselves to my playlist. Today, I watched one. Ree was making a pizza. She had prepared only one squash, a zucchini. When she began piling the veggies onto the crust, she said, "Now I'll add the zucchini and the squash." Huh? The zucchini IS a squash, Ree. Maybe she thought that zucchini was a grown up cucumber? On her next show she made a taco pizza. As Ree is fond of saying, "You heard me. A taco pizza." She put all of the taco fixin's atop the crust, including the taco itself, which she cut into strips and fried "to add crunch." Is this one included on the menu at the pizza parlor? She assured her audience, as she usually does, that her family would love it. *cough*

I can speak only for myself, but I would not be offended by anyone speaking up for Ree. I feel that forums should be open to all opinions. That's essentially what a forum is. That said, I could never be persuaded to like Ree nor many of the things that Ree does. I have watched her since her show began, read many of her "Confessions," and not to sound superior to Ree in any way, I find that our values in life are very different. I find Ree to be opportunistic, self-centered, and extremely set in a superior attitude. Nevertheless, someone may feel differently, and as far as I'm concerned, is more than welcome to say so. My hope would be that we could prevent conflict. We have such a happy forum here that I would hate to see hard feelings ruin what we have. The posters here are not only people who enjoy venting like I do, but they are also my friends. We can always block posts written by people we find to be irritating.

After I posted, I finally saw the Ree episode with her, Ladd and Chuck. I was astounded by how much weight Chuck appears to have lost. He has to be 25 pounds less than he was when Nan died. I was astounded. He looked positively gaunt. Adding to that, he had so little to say that it seemed clear to me that he has really been suffering. I am very surprised that Ree would turn the cameras on that poor man. I'm glad that she is trying to feed him and to cheer him up, but shoving cameras in his face seemed cruel. It was one more reminder that Ree has very poor judgment and that she continues to put herself first. Couldn't she cook a meal for Chuck without filming her "good deed"? Go ahead and film your trips around town dispersing cookies and other sweets, Ree, but leave Chuck out of camera range!!!

Am I imagining things, or does every one of the Ladd Drummond family have their teeth crowned? No wonder with all the sweets they devour. Thinking to myself ... If Ree owns or co-owns the Mercantile, the Boarding House, the Sweet Shop, the pizza parlor, and has the biggest Fourth of July shindig and fireworks, how long can it be before the town elders name the main drag Drummond Avenue?

I read recently that Ree is worth a whopping $50 million from her show alone. More than one story said that she attempts to conceal her wealth and to behave normally so that she will not lose her appeal to the middle/lower class fans who support her in droves. If Ree truly has that kind of money, I suggest that she spend a little on: *getting her hair cut in a "bob" and dying it back to brown *taking her truck to a car wash once a week *enrolling in a cooking class *donating her maternity tops to the Salvation Army and investing in a few T-shirts in plain, soft colors * shedding a few pounds by joining a gym *donating her gifts of cookies and other sweets to lower income families *learning once and for all that you DO NOT wish someone, especially your pastor and his wife, a "Happy Good Friday!" (You can lead a cow to church, but you can't make her learn.)

The "Haley's Having A Baby" segment wasn't too bad except for Ree's constant repetitions. She said over and over that she was helping Haley like she had been helped with food when she was expecting. *groan* Ree really excels at patting herself on the back. She talks like she deserves a medal for giving birth four times. Hasn't she ever heard of "Cheaper by the Dozen"?

I was thinking about the Smith family. Doesn't Ree have another brother besides Mike? I don't recall her ever mentioning him. Also, I know about Ree's mother's mini-scandal, but did that happen before or after Ree's marriage?

Oh, my gosh! Sorry! See what happens when you click on Refresh while you're submitting a reply? Apologies.

I'd like to see Ree donate her crazy tops to a home for unwed mothers and begin wearing solid-colored T-shirts. I think I could relate to her better if she dressed more like the common man (or woman).

And horrors again!!! Think of all the cookies and other sweet treats that Ree now owes the D.A. in Stillwater! And I'll bet that D.A. will be invited to the next Drummond Christmas party. I saw an episode of Trisha Yearwood's show yesterday in which Ree visited Trisha in Nashville to cook together. Ree was so put on, so sickeningly sweet, that it curdled the stomach. TRISHA: Would you chop that garliic REE: Oh, I'd love to! TRISHA: Will you add the bacon now? REE: I'd love to! All the while, Ree was grinning like a Cheshire cat, passing out compliments to Trisha right and left. Trisha was the most clever, most creative cook! Trisha shoveled her food down because she was hungry, while Ree ate daintily, her fork flourishing the air like a baton. Dizzz-gusting!!! 😃
