I guess this year's holiday gift to your sister should be a carton of napkins from Costo! My objection is not just the theft, but those are some flimsy-ass napkins.

I like and root for Luis but don't think the show, and maybe even NYC, is necessarily good for him. He puts on a front of being so positive and energized but we've all seen that it's not real at the core. Out of concern, I don't want to watch him being broken and in tears again.

Thanks for the link. Seeing those samples, I have to retract my criticism about Pon's rose not looking like cross stitch. His outline did sort of resemble this. (Still badly done, though!)

I sometimes think about the older woman with a blackhead the size of a quarter on her face, but only because I see her face on embedded ads that follow me around. She went to Dr. Lee and willingly signed the forms, but this wasn't an anonymous lump on someone's thigh. I hope she (and other patients) haven't gotten blowback from giving up their privacy. And have never read the You Tube comments!

So many of these patients have put off care for years or decades. Get it off while it's small! But purposefully delaying care for your child is a whole nother level of ignorance. I got a kick out of the hand doctor mocking Dr. Lee for her goopy food comparisons. I feel the same!

Wow. @pasdetrois, where was that posted? How could someone at "another clinic" access Emily's account? I'm a little dubious that Dr. Pol would act that way, but we all have our moments and he can certainly be a bit brusque and rushed in his interactions. His run-ins with the licensing board about deficiencies of care at PVC are well known. I wonder if Brenda and the other on-camera vets get a salary from the show? Pretty shitty if they don't.

Oh no! I wish Emily and Tony the best but will miss her on the show; I enjoy her dry pragmatism. At least she lasted quite a bit longer than most of the young vets who cycle through PVC.

Dr. Lee was so miffed during the surgery: "I could have done that!" Heh. She and the hand surgeon playing guess the tumor was fun; I don't think either got it correctly? Oy. Glad I've been fast-forwarding. A good number of the patients are exasperating in one way or another, tbh.

Practical and well-reasoned, I'd say!

The amount of time these couples spend together during their first week would amount to 15-20 dates in the real world, not to mention sharing every meal and sleeping in the same bed. I doubt people outside the show would date someone that much and not be physically affectionate and at least making out on the regular. Would they still be insisting their dates were strangers? Deonna and Iris still being so standoffish is downright weird and I strongly doubt Greg or Keith would go along with it IRL. This is a unique situation and the men are trying to be "patient and considerate" in front of the cameras, but come one. Greg and Keith haven't gotten so much as a meaningful goodnight kiss yet!

I wonder if this show has developed a bad rep in the tattooing community and famous guest judges no longer want to be on it? Or have they already run through most of the top tier artists? Guest judges used to be awesome since they often served to throw cold water on Peck's and Nunez' favoritism and echo chamber mindset.

I guess it's a point in his favor that he presented himself during the casting interviews the exact same way -- low affect, dull monotone voice, evasive about his past. humorless, white socks. I'm sure Beth has dedicated dog dishes, but once tableware goes through the washer it doesn't matter to me if other humans have eaten and drunk off it. Same with a pet.

I have a 10-year-old Twitter account that I only use for reading, but was annoyed enough to send my second ever tweet to HGTV expressing my disappointment that they are continuing to promote/support an unethical and dangerous contractor. Will we eventually see Mike Holmes or Scott McGillivray going through her finished properties and pointing out all the shoddy work?

Loved the micro-expressions on Keith's face when Iris said she would have liked him to use those condoms on her: surprise > delight > confusion > fear.

Every day is application day at Ink Master Tattoo! From the beginning, Peck and Nunez have based their decisions almost solely on whether or not they think a particular tattoo was well inked (bonus for dark outlines!). I wish they would just drop it and not pretend they're looking at linework or consistency or perspective or shading or whatever else the producers make up. My frown lines would thank them. Dave is the only one who somewhat cares if the results meet the pretend brief.
