I was surprised the crew found Justin as funny for as long as they did-I found him terrifying almost immediately. He was really scary-probably someone that shouldn't drink brown liquor. I felt bad for Captain Lee (he and Terri are both from Michigan-did you hear?) and the couple at the table who did try and hold it together a bit. These people are coworkers? How do you go back to the office with these people? I love bourbon-it is my favorite alcohol and I am a bourbon snob, but there is no way I'm asking for bourbon in a thermos on a mega-yacht in the Caribbean (Dark and Stormy anyone?). I also was unimpressed with the bourbon choices, but again-who mainlines bourbon all day in the heat to the point you can barely talk? All of Rachel's gorgeous food is wasted on these people. The first course sounded so good! As for Heather's teeth, I don't notice them, but just fixing my 4 front ones cost me $22k with very good insurance so maybe she can't afford it. And I didn't have that money at 25 (I think she is 25?).

Agree! Her hair remains absolutely gorgeous. I bet I would've loved Monica at her age (I love her now)-we would've been work friends for sure (no taping from me though!). Monica seems like someone who was very considerate (not to some wives I guess). Apparently she sent apology notes to her Watergate neighbors and that seems like that would've never crossed my mind at 25. I can see why the Grand Jury found her relatable and charming.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/18/AR2009071802087.html I'm shocked Ashely mentioned it since it doesn't seem like it was one of Monument's success stories (from the article): "It has been neglected for years and needs $100 million in renovations just to make it habitable, developers familiar with the Watergate say. Monument Reality, which bought it for $45 million in 2004, has not paid the hotel's property taxes since last year, which translates to at least $250,000 the city will collect at a sale... ...Lehman Brothers, its financing partner, went bankrupt last year. Monument began seeking buyers for the hotel, people familiar with the negotiations said, but none materialized." I actually love the Watergate Hotel-they have a good bourbon bar and a lovely rooftop. Not sure how nice the condos are in the other Watergate buildings-I have never lucked into getting into them (although I don't think most tenants are my kind of crowd-not since RBG)!

I really did not think I would love this show this much. I laughed so hard at Steve Martin's elevator/boiler room comedy. And everyone ignoring him in the elevator was hilarious. I'm so glad it was mentioned upthread that it starts filming again next month. Here is something we didn't see resolved (I think)-who left the note on Jan's door? Could it be the person who killed Bunny/sent the text? Since no one else was with her, it doesn't make sense she would leave for herself. How are they not selling the tie dye hoodie anywhere??

Same. I felt personally offended. When Keely told Higgins about the job opportunity, she kind of did a head shake/scream thing and Higgins did it too. I rewound that 5 times and literally lol'd every time. I also laughed so hard when Akufo just went off at the end-that was brilliant-loved the handshake fake out and them him strangling the mannequin. Then I lol'd at the dog breeder loving Keely (I mean, who wouldn't?). Really funny episode while still making me alternatively sad/ragey towards Nate. I also love Rebecca and Keely's friendship. It is so nice to see strong female friendships without backstabbing, etc. I feel like they are more common than they are ever portrayed on tv. I have a wonderful friend that I met through work and when I changed jobs, we cried like children, even though we still talk everyday, but not having her down the hall is still so sad!

Monica did and continues to have gorgeous hair so I guess they are doing their best but I don't see it with Beanie. I do hope Susan ate the whole cheese log-or wrapped it up and took it home-just to piss off Linda! I love Susan. I wish she existed in real life. lol-thank you for that. I think it was the vulture fact check that talked about how Monica's closeness with the POTUS was well-known in "D.C. circles." It is always very obvious when coworkers (or... President and an intern-more than coworkers) are closer than average, even if the people involved think they are hiding it. (I speak from personal experience-except mine was another single coworker not in my chain of command) So people at the White House and probably Hill people knew about the rumors. I'm not sure one of them would've called up Ken Starr, but even if Linda wasn't such a horrible turncoat, it could've come out. I know Lucianne Goldberg is a villain here but God I love Margo Martindale.

I posted the link above-it seems to be called the Chesapeake Mansion (clever) near St. Michaels (Tilghman island). It is very pretty! I would probably let lettuce be thrown at me to stay there for a couple nights and ride a bike around the Eastern shore and not pay the $1500/night.

I think this is it (I hope this link works)-I need to find a picture of the great spring mix throw to compare the kitchens. It is gorgeous-Tilghman Island is about 2 hours from Potomac. https://www.vrbo.com/2207416?adultsCount=10&noDates=true&unitId=2771970

This is extremely unverified, but in the LLR Facebook group I'm in (never sold/bought LLR, just loved the documentary), the claim is that the doctor/one of the doctors at Obesity 4 Me in Tijuana is related to Deanne and her sister. I could've watched four more episodes at least.

My favorite person on the show-she represents some of us (me at least!). Based on her glee at seeing her name in Newsweek, she would probably love that the attention and that Sarah Paulson was playing her. Real question I will Google later-did she not get in trouble for speaking to the press without her boss's approval? I would get raked over the coals if I did that and I'm a gov't employee. The actress Laura Ingrahm had me laughing when she looked at fake Ann and just went "Coutler..." That will be the nicest thing I ever say tangentially about Laura Ingrahm.

Can confirm-I learned to drive there and still think a blinker is a suggestion. No need to get over to the right lane to exit until you are 0.1 miles away. I'm mostly kidding-all of my limited driving is usually in heavy traffic. But I scream when I go home and Maryland drivers are just driving in the left lane at the speed limit when the middle lane is open and inviting to them. That's because we all moved here from Maryland. 😄 Dorothy is awful. I think Candiace takes everything too far, but to grow up with Dorothy as a mother must've done some damage. Isn't she a psychologist? I would never want to work on myself with this woman as my doctor. That said, I laughed when Mia said Dorothy was asking if Chris was on the payroll and Gizelle said "Is he?" I'm nosy so I would want to know also. Why didn't they start shooting the video earlier if they were worried about the sun going down? And I'm glad they used the wives cars-they were probably just as nice as the ones MIA.

SAME (I didn't have Monica's money to travel, so at least the losers I was smitten with were usually found at the local bar). I too have always heard that Bill Clinton is so charismatic in person, you feel like you are alone with him. I'm from the DMV and was about 18-19 when this came out in the news but was very self-involved and away at college so the main thing I remember is that I was SHOCKED the POTUS would engage in such behavior as to cheat on his wife. Monica was only 3-4 years older at the time of the affair so I can see her being more naive than equal partner. They are doing a disservice to Monica's GORGEOUS hair-I need some extensions on Beanie. I laughed at her going to "Pentagon City" to get her hair done. For sure, she went to Chevy Chase or Georgetown. I assume this is not a real person but I would LOVE to hear an interview if she was real. Linda will always remain a villain to me. I work in DC and I've known many many Lindas. I know they portray her as lonely and single, but I htink she was lonely because she was a jerk who worried a snapple bottle was on her side of the desk and not because she was single. I loved with she thought Michael Isikoff was digging up dirt on her program. Yeah right Linds.

A lot of these comments about Whitney in a bathing suit are a bit shocking to me. Couldn't it be possible that the adult sons can handle being around an attractive woman and not sexualize her? Don't we all know people we can appreciate as attractive but not have a "hard on" for? Do the sons spend the entire time on a beach/Vegas vacation with semis? Should I not be wearing a bikini around my friend's husbands at a pool in case I'm such a temptress? I assume that Whitney loves her husband (whose name I can't even remember) and probably isn't attracted to her stepsons. Considering we have a woman who stole money from senior citizens (allegedly) and a possible cult leader who is demanding excessive tithes from her church and married her stepgrandfather (while wearing mismatched designer clothes that covered her body), this seems like a weird thing to get so puritanical/she's a harlot thing about. I'm in the same boat-he is an absolute pill (although the challah looked good), but it is never ok to talk about or pile on with sexuality speculation on anyone at any age. Loved the first 2 minutes of the show.

If they were going to drive to Williamsburg, just keep driving to Duck or Corolla and get a big house on the beach (although they were probably sold out). Kingsmill felt like an odd choice because it did used to be a plantation (and I think there is a golf course called the Plantation course). I'm not surprised they didn't go to Colonial Williamsburg because even though I learned in my classes in college (preservation), there is nothing historically accurate about the Rockefeller's Williamsburg, it still feels gross. Also all the candle-making places might've too much for Wendy and Karen. I was just introduced to wood wicks this weekend at a farmer's market and was given a long explanation about using them and I still don't understand. They look cool though!

They did play a preview for next week during the Shahs reunion & I texted my friend about it relieved (I have now admitted I watch the terrible Shahs & I have no life, but the heart wants what it wants). SAME. And I almost didn't watch because I used to dislike her so much. I'm sure it is an image thing, but she cracks me up in her confessionals. I actually don't think Eddie cheated. I think Wendy is maybe not a great fit for reality tv and doesn't know how to react to these attacks and rumors. I would probably cry and go to my room immediately but I am also not good tv. I have typically liked Robyn (without Gizelle) by extension because I am a U of MD fan and will cling to that NCAA championship with Juan, but her muttering about why does Wendy care so much rang a little false when she and Giselle were driving to Arlington to go to Oz to confront Ashely about her talking about Juan and Robyn. I was dying when she was saying "I know who I'm not invited to my bridal shower..." No one wants to go to your bridal shower and bring presents when you have been married to this man and living with him for 20 years! You don't need a Simple Human trashcan from me.
