I'm sorry, but this totally. I took issue with her black lipstick the first week. And while she has grown on me, she really does play up her cute little bow mouth by pursing her lips and sucking her cheeks. I dunno, it aggrivates me. I had issue with Benjamina the first few weeks because I felt like she was Ruby 2.0. She was so unsure of her baking and so apologetic when presenting her bakes. I feel she's gotten better, more confident. Good on her. I love Andrew. What a doll. I love Sulasie (I know I spelled that wrong) He makes me smile. Rav is a great guy. I really like him, I just think he isn't around for much longer. His smile is so bright!

I couldn't believe it either. I mean, he's Captain NBC, he is a living advertisment.

I just got done with the episode and I can't believe this. It adds toy ever growing list of why I would never go on a reality show. Why were the women in bathing suits at all? It was obviously in the casting call. What a bunch of baloney!!!! Why have the women running around in itty bitty bikinis and weird swimsuits when the obstacle has nothing to do with water...AT ALL?!?!? I also think the show provides the outfits. I mean, no one knew what team they would be on when they arrived but they all have a ton of their cadre color. If that's the case, I would want to beat down a costumer if I were Hannah. At least get the girl a bikini that fits. I still love John Cena.

I have always wondered this. I watch Survivor and other shows like that and wonder how these women can compete with their breasts slopping around. So uncomfortable. I have to wear a Super Sports Bra when I exercise. I guess I am function over form. I'd rather not worry about jiggling and nip slips and win the damn game. But, that's just me. ?

Some women tend to fall for the newest fad, whether or not it is flattering to their face. Remember "The Rachel"? Tons of women cut their hair like that because it was the cool thing to do, not necessarily because they could pull it off like Jennifer Anniston. That being said, I think there are two reasons Brianna changed her look. 1) her Asshat told her she would look super sexy to him, and 2) she thinks following the latest fad (dark hair, no bangs, whatever she is doing) will get her attention with casting directors. Wouldn't be surprised to see an old picture of her with a pixie cut... Not to mention the amount of money she must spend on the makeup artists. She tends to take selfies and post them on Facebook (and Instagram or Twitter or whatever else) while giving credit to the artist who created her smoky eye look. Oh, and I agree with Tosia, I think a modeling career is out. However, if she does book something, wouldn't that be categorized as being used, and a "fetish" by the designer or photographer? I mean, she's not booking the job due to her beauty, it would be because someone wanted a little person photographed for their campaign. Am I over thinking this? Terra, as much as I dislike her, is an attractive woman from the neck up if she keeps her mouth closed and her eyes from rolling. She's actually much prettier in the face than Elena. She just has a terrible butt and horrible personality.

I enjoyed the teenager episode and I LOVE Duff. He is a hoot to watch. Clay Walker sure did like both sides of beans he had, considering he said he didn't like baked beans. ? Glad Kent won the cowboys episode. I wasn't too impressed with the other chefs.

I just didn't understand with all the other outdoor seating they had both given already, why they both felt the need to put yet another seating area outside. Seemed like a waste. I mean Jonathan had the deck, the margarita bar and now another small seating area in the front? I would have walled that area in and made storage, somewhere to put all the furniture when the season was over, or when a storms a comin', but that's just me. Drew too. That paved seating would've been the first thing to go if I needed $ for siding. Drew? Did you not think you would have to replace that siding? I could see from the video that it was worn out. That would've been the first thing I had budgeted for, new siding. Not to mention to upgrade it to a siding that wouldn't weather so terribly. Do they not get home inspections before they buy? Why has Drew kept his Canadian affectations on words but Jonathan seems to not have? Composite and electric were just two I noticed this episode. And his insistence on pronouncing composite his way when both his contractors corrected him was kinda funny. Jonathan said he had lots of outdoor seating for people but only had two bedrooms. I can't imagine why. If you are using this as a rental, those renters I aren't likely going to invite a bunch of local over for a party. They need more beds, not necessarily more seats. This is another reason I liked Drew's better. One could rent that home for a small family reunion or multiple family vacation. I thought Jonathan had this one easily due to Drew's crazy budget. I never thought Drew'd make such a bundle. Congrats to him. I liked his house better and I am glad he won.

Agreed. D'Artagnan is a bad name. Unspellable for the kid's friends (until he reaches a certain age) and a nightmare for teachers, nurses, etc. Especially when paired with Gnoffo. I can just imagine the poor nurse calling that boy back to see the doctor. He was tagged as D'Artagnan during the "family fun" scene but I know I heard either Joe or Terra call him Grayson later on. I remember thinking that they are going to make this kid develop multiple personalities by having 85 names for him. Poor kid. Maybe his parents should get their heads out of their asses and decide what his name is. Penny is a cutie for sure but I still think she has delay issues that have nothing to do with her achondroplasia. I hope they have some therapy for her and are not just thinking she'll develop when she does (waiting game.) Like others have pointed out, other dwarf babies we see don't have quite the issues she does. I honestly was waiting for Terra to win the Prom Queen crown. I mean, she is the queen of all LW franchises, right? Why were Tonya and Kerwin looking at rings if she is not ready to get married? She wants to get married to have a storyline but doesn't actually want to get married. Great, another show that poops all over the institution of marriage and what it really means. Speaking if that, Brianna, dear, no one here in the real world cares if you stay married to your Asshat hubby. The ladies in the show only care because it is a storyline. If you want to continue to be used and abused, feel free. No one can give you the self respect and esteem it would take for you to realize your Asshat is taking advantage of you, manipulating you, and alienating you from everyone else in your life. I think they all say they care but I doubt they really do anymore. Cause, why? Why continue to try and bolster this fragile woman's ego by telling her she doesn't need Asshat when she clearly wants him. And what, exactly, have those ladies done to be treated with such animosity by Brianna? Tell her and show her that her Asshat is a cheating, lying, umm...Asshat? You invited these people into your dirty mess, and then have the audacity to expect them to still like the Asshat who caused the pain? If you want your friends to like Asshat, DO NOT LET THEM KNOW WHEN HE DOES BAD THINGS TO YOU. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF OR HAVE A CONFIDANT WHO IS NOT IN THAT CIRCLE (oh, sorry, she already pooped on that relationship with Lisa.) If someone hurts your friend, you will never look at them in the same light again, ever. And if it keeps happening over and over again, they will have a tendency to hate him and find you weak and pathetic. That, my dear, is what happened here. Don't blame these women for not wanting to be around Asshat. Hell, the looks she was giving Elena were awful. I think Elena explained it just right. What I just have a hard time with is why Brianna doesn't understand this. She invited everyone into her mess and expects no one to voice their opinion or, heaven forbid, judge! If they say one negative, they are awful and kicked out of her life. Um, Brianna, get off the tv and fix yo mess. Last thought, I officially love Chris and Preston for totally going for it with their prom looks! Fun!

I wonder if she's going to be plastered on TV (probably not.). If that is her shtick, she should be. FN needs to realize that a large portion of their audience is already familiar with food. I, for one, watch the cooking shows with pros (chefs, caterers, bakers) at the helm, not home cooks, because pros might actually teach me something instead of other home cooks who cook like I do already. Not that I can't learn from other amateurs, it's just that I haven't when I have watched shows anchored by FN home cooks. They seem to regurgitate info and recipes I already have.

I am finally getting to watch the end of last week's episode. I think someone needs to sit Terra down and ask her what it means when she says she wants to "Move on" in regards to Christy. She's playing one of those semantics games. Saying she wants to move on, but balking when people call it "squashing"... She'd rather argue about the words used than just freaking get over it. She is just one of those people who always have to be right, no matter what. If the only way she can be right in a situation is by arguing the actual wording she uses, that what she argues. I hate people like that. I'm thinking that Terra needs to go to therapy next week, not Brianna. At least Brianna seems to know she has issues, she just seems to like having them. Speaking of which, news flash for Brianna...WHEN YOU AIR YOUR DIRTY LAUNDRY IN FRONT OF YOUR FRIENDS, AND THEN DISAPPEAR, THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE THEM. It is not being rude, or inserting themselves into your life, you plopped your huge life turd right on their vacation. She really is as self important as Terra, just in a totally different way. I like the fact that no one tried too hard to call her or see her when they got back. Their worlds do not revolve around Brianna and her never-ending emotional pain. But the whole conversation Brianna and Matt had about the post and the Crazy in Love...ugh. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE GIVES A CARE!!!!!!!!! They just gotta have a catch phrase. I guess the Ride or Die didn't catch on like they'd hoped. I guess these Media couples all have to have a # now? I dunno, I have never #'d anything cause it annoys me. # attentionwhoreMattandBrianna # ifyouwanttostaygoaheadbutgetanSTDtest (? Is that how it works?).

Maggie. She's the one who is always on the sidelines going ape$hit crazy for people. Hell, she almost dropped her kid last year when her hubby ran. I think she needs to take it down a notch. But, I feel bad for her because her marriage is over and she's hurting. I was wondering if her husband cheated or just decided he didn't love her anymore. I think the later would be worse, so living alone, without me and your kids, is the best choice? Ugh! Then again, we didn't really get any info on the details...not that we are owed anything. It's not the Maury show. Oh, but I am impressed with her makeup. No running, no smearing, she looked good when talking to Christine. I want to know what brand she uses and what kind of chisel type makeup remover she needs to make it budge. Loved the 21 year old who grandpa drove him. So glad he finished. What a great save on the pipes! Kid's got a future in ANW. The Mom who opened her own gym. Great job but, does anyone but you and you kids use it? There was no one else there. Oh, and the later contestant who works for her. I guess he coaches her kids exclusively. ? Darin(?) with the gold accessories? What a cool guy. Liked him a lot. However, if I was going to do ANW, the Warped Wall would be the one obstacle I would run at the end of my full workout EVERY SINGLE TIME. Not at the beginning, but when I had spent all the energy of the workout because the end is where it is going to be when you compete for real. Great that Lance Penkus made it through. That hat almost got him though. And you could tell he was a little scared of the pipes, with good reason. Anyway, great job! I was thrilled to see that all 5 women who advanced fell on the Crank. 4th obstacle, not bad, and a toughy at that. Not like other cities where women who fell on the second obstacle still advance. 70 year old. I still prefer the Geriatric Ninja. Finally, Lizard guy... I was glad he fell. He was trying to impress and do something different, Jackhole! Just run the darn course!

Lol. Perfect.

Count me as someone who wondered this too. If you can get a FN show by having an amusing You Tube page, why put yourself through this hell? Oh, and Cory... do you fresh bake all the bread and pastry used in your restaurants? How about when you make a pot pie at home? Have you never used frozen puff pastry or phyllo? Especially the phyllo, what a pain in the ass to make. So, Cory has never made spanokopita, baklava, pot pie, Napoleons, etc.? I kinda find that hard to believe. Not to mention how snobby he sounded about the prepared dough.

I actually thought most of the backstories were really interesting this week. The inventor kid, makeup artist, kid training since he was 14, the former player who married the lady with two kids...I just really liked most of them. It was strange, I usually ff the backstories. I'm not a huge Dreschel fan, I usually find him arrogant and irritating, but he busted that course, big time. They pay that lady ANW/Spartan to absolutely go batshit crazy on the sidelines. She was on the side with family twice tonight. She drives me crazy...way too much energy, like medicated energy. I really liked the dude who had 9 kids. That man looked barely old enough to know how kids were made, much less have 9. Heck, his family filled the grandstand! I don't know if he made it (farthest fastest) but I would love to see him try again. Next week the highlights are the Towers of Power? No offense, they just don't do it for me. I just don't like the attitude and they don't draw me.in. Now, Lance Penkus...he does it for me. ?

Gah is right. I liked last year that everyone was there to win money and be badass. Now they want to "grow as people". They should figure out there crap on their own time, not this show. Go see that Ilyana lady on OWN, she's there to help you put your house in order. If the idea is teaching, Yellow Cadre (forgot her name) gave up on the Beauty Queen awfully quick. Maybe she should have stacked her team like Grady did? ?

Really glad Tremaine Dortch made it through. I would've been ticked if he didn't make it but some chick who failed on obstacle 2 did, simply to let more women make it to city finals. I like him. I want him to do well. I hope he can shake this off and press the buzzer in the City Finals. Jodi Avila was awesome. I just loved seeing such a giant run the course. I was a little scared that his feet may touch water simply because his legs were so long. But good on him...go Big Dog. Barclay was awesome. Enough said. I have come to hate hearing about Kacy. Really, too much. But I was starting to feel bad for her. I think she did something amazing a few years ago, NBC swept her up and signed her and she couldn't deal with the pressure. That was until she started "reving up the audience" throughout her run tonight. That bugs me. You should be in the zone, not worrying about what the audience is or is not doing. I did think her fall could've happened to anyone, her ring got caught, that is understandable. It's not like last year when she couldn't hit the trampoline. Anyway, her grandstanding turned me off. I would've loved to see Coolridge, or Karsten, or Genie Ninja run all the way through but I got shafted. I know they are trying to introduce the New Wave of ANW but I like to see the oldie but awsomies. Daniel Gil remains one of my favorite ninjas. He had such a pleasant disposition. Always with that great smile. Always upbeat. Congrats on his wedding, She is a lucky gal. If I ever ran an ANW course I would request Akbar not say anything about me going further. I have noticed when he comments about a ninja doing well and is previewing the next obstacle, that ninja slips and falls or wipes out. Akbar, please, it seems to be the kiss if death. He's a fine commentator, but I would want him to just focus on what I am doing, not how well he thinks I will do. ?

Finally back from vacation and spent the last hour and a half on the treadmill watching the last two episodes of this hot mess. It is GOOOOOOD to be back home. :) First of all, Terra, the two high buns look dumb. Really show, fire whoever is doing this crap to her hair. She literally looks like the devil. Tonya giving Terra the heads up? What? Why would you do that? Tonya had to know that with hours of planning, Terra was going to come up with some way to either argue her points flawlessly or direct attention elsewhere. Since there was no way to argue her points in any way except she wanted desperately to be a raving bitch, she chose to direct attention elsewhere. Tonya, you should have just let Terra face the music and get the "intervention" over with. Elena was such a Debbie Downer the entire time. She should have excused herself from this trip...tell them your kids are sick or something. She was never going to have a good time without Preston. Not only that, but she was determined to be miserable the whole time. She may have been right in her talking heads about the situations but she was also totally clouded due to her not having her hubby with her on the couples trip. In fact, by the eightieth time she mentioned that, I was done hearing it. We get it, you think this is a terrible trip and everyone is a douche. got it. Move on. Take a soak in the hot tub and get yourself together. Christy has every right to have turned Terra down and not sign her release for her dumb ass book. I wouldn't trust Terra at all. Signing the release is just allowing her to call you names and throw your mistakes around for fun and profit. Terra saying she was willing to make up with Christy if Christy had signed her release is bullshit to the nth degree. She freakin' sent that Midget video around before Christy actually said a hard no. Terra is a lying bitch and has no intention of ever being kind or even cordial with Christy again. If they do ever get to a place where they can sit at dinner together, look for Terra to throw this police report back in her face again...even if it is 60 years from now. Brianna, I am sending you a bill for my ER visit. I developed whiplash with all the head shaking I did. You are just too much. Totally believing Terra (I guess because Production actually witnessed Matt's encounter) when she is sitting their in front of you and then having the audacity to not believe her when sitting and talking to Matt in your hotel room. She really does believe whoever is in front of her. My big problem is that I want to feel sorry for her, I want to feel bad for her but I CAN'T. Her friends and family all had seriously reservations about Matt before they got married (Vegas) and certainly before they "got married" (have to spend money on a real wedding because we did it wrong the first time and didn't get the attention grabbing party Brianna desperately wanted.) Then Terra had the receipts on the sexting scandal and she still took him back (but never forgave him, she is holding on to a lot of bitterness and brings it up all the time.) Then, they obviously fight all the time, hell, they fought on a free vacation to Alaska. Is there a better situation to put all your shit aside and enjoy the beauty of God's creation? Enjoy your time without the kids? From what I could understand, Brianna got her panties in a bunch because Matt wanted to go drinking at the bar but she wanted sexy time in the room? She wouldn't go to the bar with him so she sat in the room fuming until he returned and then ripped him a new one? Hence the big fight, walk, and smooching with random hoes. And to continuously text Terra of all people, like that wasn't going to be brought back up or lead to some incredibly embarrassing scenario? I would've sooner gone to bed alone and let my hubby wander all night than to invite Terra into my family drama. She wants this dirt bag in her life. She created a life with this dirt bag. She is bound to this dirt bag for at least the next 18 years. I agree with the above posters who commented that they believe Matt does everything around the house and Brianna has no idea how she would make it without his help. I will take it one step further. I think she is a raving harpy at home. I think she rags on him all the time about everything. I think she is as mentally, emotionally, and verbally abusive as he is, she just keeps it at home. I might think he is a total asshat but I think she drives him bonkers. But, that is not excuse for infidelity...at all, ever. They need to break up, divorce, whatever because they are really bad for each other. But they won't, Ride or Die and all that Bullshit. Final Brianna thought... Your friends have tried to help you. Your hubby lies and cheats on you. You choose to believe him over them. You choose his advice over theirs. You deserve all the pain and heartache you have had and will have. I CANNOT FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. All that and I haven't even finished this week's episode.

I guess, techincally speaking, there are ways Herman and Melanie could have done the Ole 23 Skidoo under the cabin but I doubt it happened. I mean, EVERYONE, would have been talking about it. Alison cheesed me off by not admitting what she said when she was caught gossiping. I think they should have Alison, Hannah, Melanie and Richard sit down and flesh this out. Alison needs to have her feet held to the fire. Oh, and God forbid anyone young and bored have any kind of fun when Old Lady Alison is around. I can't believe I am liking Shermon. I really disliked him the first week but the second, he was hilarious, and really started working with his team. Bless him, he tried with that boat. And speaking of that...what the WHAT was Chloe thinking by not getting her team any time to practice on the boat? Duh! It is not inherent that people know how to row a boat, or steer a boat. She should have had them learning the boat. It does say a lot that they powered through and didn't quit. George's reveal...loved it. Funniest line, when George says his dad is a two time world championship and GiGi says, yeah, mine too. I cracked. Love that Gill went home. Her backstory was all over the place. She bugged me, real bad. And her concern for her kids and breaking up their family? Where was that concern when she was having an affair. What did she think was going to happen when she had an affair? I guess some people can get over that? Besides, she didn't have the affair for herself (since Grit was the first thing she ever did for herself), maybe she had an affair for her kids? Ugh...get your story straight for f's sake, if you are going to air your dirty laundry on national TV. Adios chicka. Also, what is the deal with yellow beauty queen needing to change every five minutes? And her leader being ticked and not being able to get through to her? Umm, you picked her. You could have picked the PI who didn't know her hubby was having an affair but noooooooo, you sent her ass home. Don't feel bad for you at all.

Oh Gawd! That would be torture, and the absolute end to this franchise. BTW... Thanks for stomping on my hopes like that. I have so very little to look forward to in regards to this hot mess.?

I only got to see a few minutes last night but I am waiting with baited breath for the reunion this season. I hate to admit that, but I am. If good ole' Kev is back to moderate, I hope it is calm enough for Terra to actually listen and hear what everyone is saying to her about her horrible, dog shit attitude this season. Then again, would anyone be surprised if Terra hosts the reunion herself, because she's done such a bang up job on Atlanta and Dallas (big eye roll and huge sigh). ???

I think since this surgery and all the crap afterward, Christy just wants some friends and some peace. Too bad Terra can't pull her gigantic, ego-inflated head out of her own ass long enough to realize this. And yes, Terra, Christy has apologized many times for letting the police report go as far as it did. If Terra would listen, she would have heard the 8,000,000 apologies.

Irate Panda, this post is so full of the LOLs. Thank you for it.

If you chase those kids off your lawn they're just going to come over to mine!!

That gymnast he has on his team is awesome.

I was getting Madonna. You know, when she sported the high ponytail and gold one piece with the pointy boobs.
