I'm sorry, I'm a southern belle by birth, and don't have a new york sensibility, but even I could tell she was joking when she said that to Fredrik - and so could Fredrik.

OMG I love this comment so much! I wish that someone had told The Countess when complaining about the help using HER bathroom to "be cool, don't be so, you know, uncool."

No, when she was asked by a viewer on wwhl if she got an uber to bring her luggage to Vermont, she replied that somehow her things appeared later, presumably by "production." So, production went down to NYC to get her things, NOT that she didn't actually forget her luggage - she reiterated that she really did that.

She said she went to the bathroom when the shit started flying

Ha! I was right - they did already know each other!

Umm, he didn't want to?

NC girl here too. Cannot agree more. I live near Durham, which has a huge historical background with tobacco. As bad as smoking is, there is no comparison with "chaw."

That makes a lot of sense. I'm glad you're paying attention!!

Remember when Adam and Malia took off to walk to the falls? And they had the conversation, where he asked her about where she wanted to visit next? I thought at the time that the conversation was odd and stilted, but I didn't know why... Well, Santorini is in the Greek islands, right?? So perhaps they had already been there, and this was a sort of an in-joke between them. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Another NC girl here, and I could not agree more! When I was growing up, my folks would send me to summer camp where they served truly awful mass-cooked grits, no seasoning, congealed because they were room temp, and not hot enough to add butter to, even if they gave you butter... It scarred my psyche to the point where I wouldn't touch grits until I was an adult. A good friend cooked for me grits for the gods, just as you describe - slow cooked with a little salt, pepper and a dollop of butter. They've been a staple in my house ever since. Once you go grits, you don't go back!

Long time lurker here! The season you are referencing was the first season I watched, and I could. not. stand Ramona. I couldn't understand how anyone could see any redeeming qualities in her. Then I went back and watched some choice episodes from previous seasons, including the one where she and Luann have a tennis match, and I found no reason to change my mind. The last couple of seasons, there have been a few instances where she was [mildly] amusing or [marginally] kind or [somewhat] coherent. But now - she has reverted to mean, and is just batshit crazy.
