Lindy Dear

It's hard to know which of these love-bird couples is more sickening than the others. Where to begin? How's about an alleged step- father wannabe suggesting a minor child consider f---ing" her boyfriend and Mama Molly remaining committed to the relationship nonetheless? Could Luis be brought up on charges of child endangerment and abuse for that alone? Possibly? Do authorities anywhere catch this show? The poor Thai lady along the one from the Philippines have sold themselves to the lowest bidders: both losers, one an abject jobless drunk and the other, a jobless felon abuser who apparently has failed to let his "I wanna have a baby now" fiance know he's sterile? Azan and Nicole may how warrant whatever their delusional hell brings next. But can poor little May be rescued? Where's Grandma when we need her? The Grandma who wept so openly at the very thought of what her grand daughter was being subjected to when "mom" yanked her half-way around the world, far away from any hope of sanity? f Elizabeth is comfortable following Andrei to Maldova after all the green card effort, so be it and her daddy is right to say go it on your own. How will this fare? Andrei is clearly a bully and gives the impression he's capable of selling her into white slavery. Or if he stays i n the US and fulfills his aspiration to be a truck driver....what are the odds he'd be capable in any way of obeying any relevant US laws? Finally, David and Evelyn. Run David, Run. Run as fast as you can. Just run.

so are we looking at a build up to some sort criminal prospects for some of these pathetically desperate Americans?Paul, for instance. The absurdity of traveling to the Amazon to meet a poor girl (and I mean poor as in impoverished) with a language barrier so intense it seems like it would take decades and decades for her family to even begin to learn English, and bringing her stuffed animals as if she were.....pedophile material? And Dad the cop allowing his daughter to go to a hotel with this fellow who screams filth and looks like one sick-o puppy? And the other gal off to Spain, with the permission of her parents, to meet a guy she's never talked to but has seen in porn photos online? And then the hopeless and hapless Darcy and the guy, what.....30 years her junior and the whacko step dad who is nonethehess the only one to speak truth and suggest this whole thing is nuts. I'm all for a whacky crazy stupid reality show..... but so far this is beginning to seem like witnessing crimes-in-the making. If the wincing gets too frequent, I'm out.

I say bravo for the beautiful sights of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and wish it could have been left at that plus the Shabbat dinner minus Mike. Only Shervin should have made the trip. And maybe the new girl, whoever she is....both as sort of tourists in the background. Everything else, all the "higher" thoughts, political imaginings, paranoia fantasies, thoughts of historical significance, anything having to do with prayer, God, ecumenicism etc , were wasted on this bunch of miscreants., It would have been better if they had just taken their usual drunken trek to so some place like vegas where they could have made enemies anew of one another and steered clear of anything even remotely resembling antiquity much less the holiest of Holy Lands Reza's proclivity for calling virtually every single woman a "b----" puts him at the top of the garbage heap for me, after hearing it over and over and over in that sneering ugly voice of his. And the trash goes on and on.....MJ, Oh Lord,....literally, filthy. In every possible way, just filth; Asa: Does someone have to write that B.S. for you or do you come up with it on your own? GG....whatever .... bored and boring, and Mike, what poor woman would want to be your next Mrs? It would take more than wailing at the wailing wall, son. I see Reza recently lost a lot of weight, shaved off his mustache, and apparently is in line to get another Bravo show. Good. Go away. Once upon a time, this show had something of a bit of charm and was novel enough to make sense in some ways. That's all gone . Goodbye.

For Ramona to drag a 6 year old into such an ugly, manufactured "issue" and then make up an endless haggle of mud-slinging nonsense speaks volumes about exactly how desperate she is to hang onto this show. Absent this b.s. and her groaning fuss about Luann's beau (who cares anymore?...if they work they work and they don't they don't.) this exploitation of a matter involving a minor child is the only possible reason for her to still have air-time. What else would there be? She's STILL divorced? She's dating duds? She has "work" done! Meh. Ramona (and her agent...AND Bravo producers?) must have had quite the time coming up with this stretch for a story line. Since Ramona would have no other reason to still be a viable "housewife", nasty though it is (even for Bravo)....mission accomplished.

Craig should have his neck throttled for calling Naomi a "child" and worse still, "moron." That being said, I'm going against the grain here to say I, for one, admire a guy interested in sewing. So he has a lot in the air....house rehab, etc. Why not? He's reinvesting his earnings from the show. He's young! The push to force young people into "the right way" can be disastrous. All the rich boys on the show avoid joining "the rat race" as if it were the plague....but for a guy from a working class background...not so? Okay...he's since taken the bar and has a license? Just what we need? Another lawyer? Know how many miserable lawyers are already out there wishing they could be given permission to take up carpentering? Naomi is not-so subtly undermining him. "He's on planet Craig.. WERE on planet earth". Some have said she's still with him for the screen time. Ill ascribe higher motives than that to her. But it not, then Naomi, buh-bye. Something tells me there are a number of gals who would really appreciate a guy willing to personally embroider his own pillowcases!.

Thomas Ravenel confines his little ones to the" guest house" where the main parenting is done by the nanny. His federal conviction was drug-related and he parades around as a misogynist drunk slobbering all over women half his age. So how is it that the hapless Kathryn is the only one cut off from the children? Yes, she's proved a smarmy, entitled phony shrill most of the time but when it comes to her and her baby daddy, like attracts like? Maybe both of those children would benefit from placement with loving, or at least reasonably relatives elsewhere? Thomas is hoping for "an older" woman to marry and become the children's step mom? And someone like Landon fits the bill? Terrifying!!!! Shep's bit is getting really, really old.We get it. You're a rich-boy good-for-nothing womanizer who feels empowered to criticize the dumbo's who actually have to try to figure out how to earn a living. As for poor Craig....man--- go ahead and be a gardener...or a carpenter! What the heck? Why not? Don't see your lawyer chops showing up any time soon.But don't blow it with Naomi. When she gets her MBA at least there will be one wage-earner. I do hope Chelsea sails off into the sunset with Austen. Quickly.

I'm so IN! My favorite of all the Bravo "genre"....such as it is. LOVE that its about goofy friendships instead of the usual Andy Cohen formula: vicious hatreds. LOVE the disbarred lawyer with the man bun and the birthday party for the dog---with the slide show, and Pumps water-ski ballet and all the undertakings of tthe two lady cohorts. Also love that it takes place in a "flyover" state and in every day neighborhoods. Also, didn't know there was even a lake near Oklahoma City. If there's to be a bunch of red-state politics it hasn't surfaced yet so...bravo! Maybe the cast could do with a bit more expansion but not if it means messing with the premise. These folks remind me of everyone I used to clown around with growing up in the Texas Hill Country. Didn't realize how much I've missed it!

My new favorite show of the Bravo "genre." such as it is.

This is all turning into an awful blur so awful its impossible to keep track of the ugliness and filth.Except for Cynthia, sort of...whose participation is a total mystery. If nature abhors a vacuum, I guess she serves a purpose. I quit watching the episodes, thinking it would all be spelled out somewhat on the reunions. Wrong. Sheree's return makes some sense. But the others? Again, how tragic that this is how Bravo, AND Andy Cohen in particular, choose to represent "successful black women" in one of the South's largest cities. I have to say that Todd and Kandi's odd "take" and constant support of Apollo are notably disturbing, especially since both---Todd in particular----so completely dropped any connection to the two sons Apollo left behind. Takes some of the luster off Kandi's claims of do-good "philanthropy." But it is the incessant slander and vulgarity.....enough! Get the hook! Time to recast or pull the show for Heaven's sake. Or maybe the one who should really get the hook is ring master Cohen.

The voice SNL is giving to mock, expose and reveal all that is most vile at present far, far outweighs its shortcomings and weak links. I find, and this one was no exception. The cold open was a brilliant send up of much that is sick about Sessions as attorney general, here portrayed as a dimwit masquerading as as a simple but dear Forrest Gump. Kate was masterful at the task and the others were spot on. Can't get enough of that Putin....even if just for a momentary a fist-pump. Weekend Update kept the drumbeat alive: the craziness of the incumbent's rants, proper perspective on Trump's over-kudoed congressional address ("Its not encouraging that we're holding the President of the United States to the same standard as any Bar Mitzvah boy", the Democrat's exceptionally lame response, and best of all----to discuss "ethics": the two Trump boys as vapid, entitled juveniles. Bravo ! Loved the boys little aside to the anchor's questions about possible conflicts: " Yeah... you mentioned that on the golf course last week when I was beating you by nine strokes" .----but a brief homage to the media's odd, highly inappropriate social coziness with the Trump's from time to time. The Kellyanne references? Fine with me. There were a few highs and some lows in the other threads, but as long as SNL is willing to wade into the current political nightmare, I'll be more than happy to fast forward through the lame stuff and celebrate what it is currently doing best.

Probably not. But the "pro life" issue is the only issue for alt-right Catholics and many other church denomination affiliates, and drives them to the polls in droves. Many, but not all, hide behind the anti abortion issue to then work "sub rosa", advancing anti-immigration, racist, pro big money positions, and made use of anti-abortion stance to justify voting for Trump. Doubt it is a bigger voting bloc than millennials.....but it turns out and definitely helped deliver Trump's electoral win.

This is by far now one of my favorite TV programs.

Joe was in the audience and that's all I saw of the event except for Melania's Las Vegas showgirl dress. (Fancy the alt-right outrage had a Michelle showed cleavage and sequins?) This morning Joe and Mika demonstrating their art of being sycophants----nothing new here except a couple of other panelists stepped up to go along with the a--kissing. Mika: "the inaugural speech we never got." yada yada yada. Ted Cruz on now . That's enough. Clicking off. tah tah.

I totally agree. Jinger and Jeremy were so normal and as is typical of honeymooners.... so lovey-dovey. The cooking scene and chef's slight reprimand must have driven Michelle and Jim-Bob over the top once they saw it. Good for you Jinger and Jeremy! Jeremy is definitely bringing a new level of "worldliness" into her life......and she has to be a bit stunned. But hang in there Jing. And do hope Jeremy doesn't have buyers remorse. DO hope the TLC cameras follow these two once they're home in Texas as the contrast could be telling.....since back in Arkansas we have yet another "courting" couple but much more aligned with the Duggar cult. Austin and Joy won't be going anywhere . And yes, those Duggar boys seem a little TOO fond of Austin. One of those boys better get to "courting" soon or people are going to begin to wonder.

Wonder at what point Rinna got thrown into the deal Harry Hamlin obviously made in his pact with the devil.
