  1. Random thoughts…. 1) Landon wants to do a magazine, but it's Patricia who gets a book deal. Poor Landon. (not really, but she's just another reality person who doesn't know how to HUSTLE UP OTHER GIGS! Nene Leakes and Bethenney Frankel -- PLEASE teach a course to your other reality star wannabes. 2) Shep is NOT all that. He should get his teeth fixed -- again. And correctly this time. 3) If I had it I MIGHT pay big money to have Michael tell me about ALL the behavior he's seen and dirt he knows. Didn't Patricia sort of marry her way to money. So she's just an arrogant, bitchy hypocrite on that score. 4) I still don't' get why Craig paid JD 5) Love Cameran……noticed know Whitney. I like him enough that I would like to see him in every episode. 6) All the talk from Thomas and others about how he wants to see Kenzie. And yeah, I get that that is important. But we all know that Kensie can be with Thomas and he won't spend any real QUALITY time with her. If he has the nanny how much time to you REALLY see him spending with her. Holding her up and saying "coo-chie, coo-chie-coo" isn't quality PARENTING time (IMO) So let's see… --Thomas speaking: "Hey, Kensie want a toy? He hands it to her and gives her to the nanny and THEY (the nanny and Kensie) go play. -- He's playing with her and she poops or pees. He calls the nanny, and the nanny changes her. But Thomas and Kensie never finishing their play time. -- Kensie needs to eat..the NANNY fixes the food, and likely feeds her also. So I'm not buying this I want to spend more time with my kid routine. When she's there how much time will he actually spending WITH HER. As opposed to she's there and he's not interacting with her that much anyway because the nanny does almost everything. I get that any amount of time she's "at her dad's house" -- and that's how I'll put it….is better than none. But let's not act like he really wants to raise Kensie. She'd be raised by a nanny and he'd be a pop-in, spend money on her dad. Because he thinks giving kids MONEY and fake quality time is actually being a parent. Even now I don't' think he wants to be a parent. But he's trapped into it. ​And all of Kathryn's…"I don't' want the kids to be impressed with dad's house and hate coming home because your house is better"…just STOP it!
  2. Unless he's a total F-up with his own money. I think Thomas can afford to make Kathryn's house payments. His credit will be just fine. And if he gets payment confirmations sent to him he'll know pretty much right away whether she makes the payments or not. So, again I don't see his credit going down the crapper. He could probably just buy her the house. Re: Craig's Job…..tell me again why Craig had to pay J.D. to work for him? He supposedly "bought" into the business. Well he sure didn't buy much for 15K. Will he get a percentage of profits. People who "buy in and invest don't get a "salary," do they?
  3. Oh yeah I forget to say …the food p o r n was excellent. Some fan said during season one -- these folks know how to eat! My God the food buffets these folks put on the table make me salivate, They must work out, because they haven't gained weight. And sure MJ is a big girl, but she's not as big as I'd expect her to be or as she could be. Yet I don't really see her as the workout type. Maybe sex really doest burning A LOT of calories. Maybe she just eats small amounts of multiple dishes….'cause girlfriend orders THREE appetizers last night! And they weren't' low cal. I wish Mike luck with the shoe brand -- because it IS something he's into. I just hope he takes it seriously. AND becomes a better brand ambassador for his own line….because from what I saw of him talking to his shoe partner….I thought some of those comments were not what I'd say to a guy helping me launch a business. I can't remember exactly what he said. I just thought at the time, "why is he telling this guy all this?" Take this shit serious, Mike. And you will and can build an empire. But it's not going to fall into your lap. You're going to be competing with shoes from Sean Puffy Combs, JayZ, Lebron James, Michael Jordan. Heck there's an entire WORLD of "sneaker heads" and fancy men's shoe fanatics out there. But you gotta take this seriously. That is not Mike's issue. What does Nene Leakes know about designing clothes, or Cynthia Bailey know about eyewear, or Lebron James or Sean Combs know about clothes or shoes. None of them are trained designers. But they are either SERIOUS hustlers (has in hard workers) like Nene Leakes…or proven businessmen and moguls in other areas…so when they put their name on a new venture, their partners know this is not bu ll shi t …this is serious business. And that's Mike weakness. Will he work, will he STUDY design, will he LEARN and GROW? IS he a BUSINESSman…or a dabbler with no follow-through, a sad example of a dreamer with no true understand of HIMSELF and AND no real tangible personality or career assets to use to launch a successful MONEY-MAKING business venture. I don't think Mike IS a loser. I truly think he doesn't know who he is at his core. He's not really flighty or ditzy….he just seems to have no relevant skills, education, contacts or business sense…that he's been able to harness to his advantage YET… He's not "FOCUSED" …that's the word I'll use, he's not FOCUSED. And that's what you need to be in business….you need focus.
  4. I have no problem at all if these reality star types use being on the show to launch a product line -- IF it's legit. For example on another Bravo show "The Realhousewives of Atlanta" -- Cynthia Bailey a legitimate model should have and could have launched an empire by now: clothes, make up, hair….yet she is doing eyewear. Which maybe easier and cheaper to do. So if could be a smart move. Instead, it's Nene Leakes who got to put her name on a clothing line sold on HSN. Who the hell is Nene Leakes? and why and who would want to wear anything she endorses. I said all that to say…that if Asa wants to "design" caftans…fine. It's an excellent fit for her. She wears them and knows them. But why the earlier BS of "Diamond Water." Well…... because she was looking to cash in and that was some quirky fad idea….but it wasn't legit. (IMO) Just like some other Bravo reality types who wanted to launch "black water," or a food brand, or some vague lifestyle brand with a toaster oven one season (when the person doesn't' even cook) one season and clothing line the next. If Mike wants to leave real estate to launch a shoe brand -- fine. He loves shoes. So why not? It's a good fit for him. That much is true. My problem is HOW these reality star brands are launched, whether the person has input or just puts a name on the product, and whether they take it seriously. -- So, will Mike WORK to make this a success. or pop in every once in a while…. And while I love Asa's caftans, I'd have to feel and see the material. There are caftans like the Shahida Parides caftans the Beverly Hills Housewives wore while in Dubai….(They ARE gorgeous check them out)….and there are the polyester caftans I can get at cheap discount clothing stores for $10-$15 at places like Gabe's, Forman Mills or Rugged Wearhouse (sic) (I'm on the East Coast). Which type is Asa selling? Is she just importing them cheap? or designing them and got her own manufacturer? Lord knows it doesn't seem she has a distributor? Why is her family filling orders? Couldn't her Diamond water partners find her a distributor? There are retail logistics companies that do all that for you…..import, package, design, distribute, etc Maybe she needs to watch an episode of CNBC's "The Profit." So I guess the gist is I don't have a problem with these people going into business, IF they're SERIOUS about it…like Housewives of New York's Bethenny Frankel and her Skinny Girl line. Now THAT woman is about serious business….
  5. Why is everyone going on and one about Jules being thin and having no boobs. Carole doesn't have any either, and is just as thin. She's just not as tall so perhaps they look different, but neither Carole nor Bethenney have room to talk about Jules being skinny. They both look anorexic to me.
  6. Speaking of Cameran…I was just glad she didn't fall and break her neck, when she tripped and her shoe got caught in her damned rug when she was running to the door after Patricia rang. She really could have twisted her ankle or worse, so it wasn't something to laugh about -- but it was likely one of the few NON-scripted moments of the hour.
  7. I'd think if you're a model -- and a good one, an agency might just work around your availability. Why couldn't you just take gigs at certain times. Nene Leakes was on TWO TV shows and still filmed Real Housewives of Atlanta, and "designed" a clothing line. Hell, the Kardashians have five jobs going at the same time, and film a reality show. I'll give it to Craig he IS handsome, and the right build for a model. Why not hook up with a deigned and become their exclusive model and representative. Where the hell is Craig's AGENT! Vera Wang just launched a new male bridal (groom) line. Why couldn't he be the face of that? HE's got some cache from the TV show…USE IT! for bigger and better things. But again that might take WORK! I know male moles don't make what females do. Trust me, if Craig got an agent and started WORKING this entertainment/modeling thing he could take off. He'd make more than enough money. I don't' think Marcus Schenkenburg or Mark Vanderloo are hurting. But that DOES take work. ANd I just don't think he wants to work that hard to build a CAREER. The one thing I'll give the Kardashians and the Nene Leakes and the Omarosa's of this world is they hustle. They're the Pete Rose of entertainment. Heck Omarosa started off on ONE reality show with am embellished resume and she's STILL on TV hustling. (in a good way). (And if you're took young or not a sports fan you won't even know who Pete Rose is.)
  8. I hadn't thought about that…and I doubt Kathryn has either. I'm don't with her. I'm harder on HER than him. SHE is a young person with her whole life a head of her. I'd hope she would want more in life. I don't mean not being a mom, I just mean running after a lech. Where a T-Rav IS a lech so I don't expect anything more or better of him. It's who he is. It cracks me up that the screen says "Craig and Naomie's house" -- when it's HER parents house. Makes me chuckle AND eye roll. I'd love to see that investor agreement. I can bet it's NOT a partnership deal. Is JD's empire actually structured as a corp so Craig can buy some of Jd's stock? Or is it structured and laddered LLC's. What exactly did Craig 'buy" or get for his 15K. I sure as hell bet he didn't buy in for 15 percent of the profit. Heck some companies want to show as little "profit" as possible. I'm sure he's no Rockefeller or Carnegie -- but JD is a legitimate businessman in Charleston, so I doubt he wants to scr ew anyone -- business-wise on national TV -- but what exactly while Craig DO for his "interest in the company." Seems like a big fish in a small pond to me, but in any event…. JD is nice but I just don't see him being THAT nice to bring Craig on on "in" -- for the little bit of contribution he can make. I said it before. I think Craig should just buckle down and be a model….but then he'd have to actually hustle (work, in a good way). And he'd be gone a lot traveling, and not hanging out with his friends. But heck he could model when they're not filming and make more than enough. What can Cragi possibly add to JD's company, what skill set, what expertise? be some kind of "ambassador"…he could jus HIRE him to do that. ANd to what audience? Partiers who will tear up his hotel and restaurant?
  9. Glad for her the she got a breast reduction. Those babies were huge.
  10. Perhaps I wasn't clear. If this was in reference to me asking why…I know why he has caps/false teeth. The why was…in reference to why they look so bad. Why they look so obviously well..fake. His dentist couldn't do a better job than that? couldn't make them look natural in any way. I sure he went to a "good dentist." I hope he did for the money he likely spent. Because what I see in his mouth is a horrible job. Actually, I can…sort of. I also choose not to cook. If she and her husband eat out all the time, or just do take out and bring it home sure. I have gifts I've never opened….in TEN years. And the show didn't say she had no dishes. She didn't have any dishes or serving platters and hostess sets at the ready. IF you never use or need them ….I can totally see her never opening some of her wedding gifts. (Also choosing not to cook and not knowing how, or not being able to put together a great dinner party are not the same. Lots of people who don't cook can throw a kick-ass dinner party.)) And I suppose she was very nervous about entertaining such a large group for such a 'formal' dinner -- but what I personally find harder to believe is that she was soooo lost in the kitchen. She's an educated woman and she acted like she didn't know that "carve" meant "slice" a damned roast. Come on now. She'd pick that up just from going to OTHER dinners she's been to. So I think her naiveté about cooking was totally overblown. Even if she's the kind of person that can be flustered about cooking and not confident in her cooking that was a bit much. I forget what the woman helping her wanted her to do, but she couldn't even follow instructions. I think it's also quite clear her husband does NOT want to be on the show.
  11. Exactly what is his "wealth?" And 2,500 is plenty for two kids. Kathryn needs to get a job. And let T-Rav pay for the nanny while she works. Thomas is likely paying the minimum or just above it…I can see his lawyer saying let's not give her any more ammo. Pay her the minimum or just above it -- if you want to -- so she can't say your not giving her anything. Not that he has a six pack by any means -- but I think it might look worse that it actually is because he was trying to pull his polo shift off and his stomach jutted out while he was yanking it off. Re Cameron: it is hard to believe she's THAT lost in the kitchen. What do you mean by "carve" the roast? Really? Re Shep's teeth…it's not that he has caps…it's that they're so big and clearly put on in an obvious sort of way. Why? It's like they're huge dentures for the front half of his mouth, that just stop once you get to each side of mouth right where the smile edge would be. Again, why?
  12. Shep looked ver nervous a couple of times. Like he was preparing to be called out on being an immature ass. At one point early on after a couple of comments from a caller and Andy about his sleeping around or perhaps loose ways… his eyes and facial expression seemed to convey, " Oh please don't tell me I'm going to dumped on and we'll be talking about this all night."
  13. I liked Daisy on the show, a lot. She was great. I'm so sad that she lost her fight with her illness. Wow. A reminder to us all to live life as full as we can, and brighten the space we're in. If there's something you want to do, do it…someplace you want to go, go there….something you want to say, say it -- as long as it doesn't hurt others.
  14. I've never seem so many needy people in my life….Mike, Jessica, Adam, Reza, MJ….Asifa, Bobby. Asa and Shervin are the only ones who seem to have a REAL sense of who they are. Two out of nine people…yikes, not good. Are traits like self-awareness and maturity THAT rare???
  15. I swear I'd like someone to do a study of how some people can be do delusional as to convince themselves of a given situation…..like Mike and Jesscia. Did they REAlly, really, truly, TRULY believe that their relation ship was love. Because if they did then that was sad. Anyone observing them for just a couple of minutes could see something wasn't right. That there was NO foundation there for a marriage. How is it that that was clear to everyone BUT them? That's what I mean about being delusional. Mike has self esteem issues because of his family….Jessica must have them too. I'd say that's clear from the way she latched onto Mike -- when no one else would think he's a catch. She pressured him to marry her. That's never good. So now she's filed for divorce -- after 7 months and is seeking spousal support. What!? I don't know whether to feel sorry for Mike or not. On one hand he was dumb enough to marry the bitch. On the other he had issues which made him vulnerable to not deluding himself into it.
  16. I don't see a thread for the Secrets Revealed show so I'll put this here. The Secrets Revealed unused footage show was better than most of the season. It was like a best off, without having to sit through so much bull$#!t. Loved the conversation between Kenya and Kim, that Sheree put together. Kenya is a bitch. I wouldn't have any time for her BS either.
  17. I still don't know what to make of the season premiere. Craig -- still immature…Shep -- still immature, and it's not wearing well. Landon, Cameron -- I can take or leave. Whitney and his mom, who's name I can't recall, are pompous asses. And don't sit well with me. I'd tell them what I thought of them in a second. T-Rav and Kathryn -- she IS a dumb girl trying to land a rich guy. And didn't know how to reel him in. And is still trying. But we said that last season. T-Rave is r rich arse hole, what else is new. I like -- what's his name is it Connor? -- the red-headed designer-guy who wears period suits and hosts the galas. I like thn the best. Oh and JT, is it. who smokes cigars and owns the restaurant. Their reaction shots are great. Speaking of restaurants what's up with the guy who's partnering with Whitney on the new restaurant. Is he crazy. SURELY Whitney is not the only person in Charleston he could have partnered with to do this deal. Imagine seeing and hearing you partner say you don't really care about what could be close to a million dollar investment…what the hell? Personally I should also stop eating late at night…I had a dream that my mom -- who's not even still living -- married a 70-year-old T-Rav. Made me think damn will he never change. These rich guys are an interesting personality type. They have all the money they need, so they don't HAVE to change or mature. I can see thomas being a rich arse hole his entire life. He's already over 50, if he hasn't matured yet when will he. Unlike Shep who I still think the RIGHT girl, COULD, maybe get him to straighten up….I don't see that happening with T-Rav. And now that I think of it about Shep I don't know -- do I EVER see him being the settled-down, responsible father, devoted husband, may still flirt but really not serious at all, because he does love his wife type…..I don't know. These people really are NOT likable this year…so far. I don't know what the point of the show and their interactions is anymore. Just to be filmed hanging out and backstabbing and talking about each other? UGH.
  18. ^^ You're a better person than I am, because I just can't watch and certainly can't enjoy stupidity like that. I know these shows aren't educational, but can't they do better than the lowest common denominator they're devolved into?
  19. A friend of mine said just the other day she'd like to see David Bromstad with another show. I'd like to see another "decorators challenge' kind of show. I LOVED seeing three different designers each come up with a plan and present their boards, searched and samples. It was sooo interesting to see three different approaches to the same space and project. I'd like to see more decorating in general, especially 'budget' designs like on Decorating Cents or Sensible Chic. AND reasonable cost remodeling -- like on Weekend Warriors. But they ruined even those when they went crazy with shows like Designed to Sell, and Takeover My Makeover, or Renovation Realities…where they had homeowners doing STUPID stuff like cutting into a wall without knowing pipes are in there, or cutting water lines with the water still on. I want to see more realistic projects….and most people to SOME kind of due diligence of research before redoing their kitchen. They don't just start tearing out cabinets. I suppose I wouldn't even mind new flipping shows if the formula wasn't so…well, formulaic. Whatever happened to the Kitchen Cousins?…..who had another show also before that one -- which name I can't remember.
  20. I stumbled across "Listed Sisters" -- and clicked away in about two minutes (or less). Could stomach it. It was so clearly an exact copy of Property Brothers, that just that alone turned me off. One sister in a suit, the other dressed for construction. The same complaints and comments from all the other couples we've seen before, the same contraction issues and design changes. I'm just over it. For years I've commented from time to time that HGTV should have an overnight -- or prime time weekend block -- just for its classic older shows from day one: Chris Casson Madden, Kitty Bartholomew, Room by Room, Decorating Cents, Sensible Chic, Decorating with Style, Around the House, Dream House, Dream Home, Fantasy Open House, Gardener's Journal, Gardening By the Yard, Fix It, Before and After, The Carol Duvall Show, and there are many more!! These shows would be perfect for an overnight or weekend block of programming. called HGTV Classics. That's what This old House has done.
  21. I mean at work. He's always getting in people's faces with threatening talk. the episodes I saw "Requiem" and "Designated Target." In one episode a colonel comes over from the pentagon, and He and Lauren Holly get in her face. Really? They jump bad with a colonel from the Pentagon? You'd think that person would say "watch your tone" or "watch your step" or give some kind of push back. And this was rally a cooperative interview. Maybe it's me. I jut don't' respond well to arrogance. And would like to see them get it wrong and make them eat and choke on it. and least once in a while.
  22. My UO is I can't stand Gibbs. I've only seen a very few episodes of this show -- like maybe five, the shows entire run. And that was when I was at someone's house who likes the show and I had to watch it because they were watching it. I hate Gibbs' smug ass. Please tell me that at least once in the show;s run SOME character has made him eat his words, and eat his arrogance. He's always putting his hands on people, making them sit, telling them to stay. One I'd like to see someone tell him to fuck off and he can't do anything about it. And I don't mean he gets yelled at by the boss, in front of someone , and them the boss, give him a wink and says good job. I mean a time when he really got handed his ass.
  23. What did LisaR order at dinner at Nobu? miso cod lettuce cups? Cod as if cod fish…that's not vegan. I have to say I'm amazed this LisaR Munchhausen issue has gone on for so long and get soooo much air time. Enough already with the back and forth, she-said, she-said.
  24. Thanks. Kenya needs counseling. Period. Whoever said kenya likes to attack, and then try to cry victim and deflect when others response is absolutely correct. I'm sure we all know perfectly well that IF, Porsha or anyone else had said that "dick in mouth" comment or "on your back comment" -- Kenya would have cried wolf about the person denigrating women, or verbally attacking her, or whatever. Kenya is a bitch, plain and simple. And people just need to tell her so. I don't care that she's damaged rom her up bring. She's 40-something years old. She'd tell other people to get over their childhood or get help. Yet she won't. Heifer. And to be honest I would KEEP hitting her below the belt about her mom. Because that's clearly the only thing that gets her attention. She wants to poke the hornets. Then the hornets would come out and run straight to her.
  25. Did the grandmother LEGALLY adopt Kenya? Because, technically and legally I don’t think Kenya was “adopted” at all. I guess she says she was raised by her dad. But did he take her at birth? Was she with the grandmother/aunt until some young age, THEN she went to the dad (because the maternal grandfather and mother just got too hostile.) So....she was mostly raised by her Dad...and from time to time -- went to stay with her grandmother – with her mother right there in the house. But she also says her aunt helped raise her right? Now maybe the family tried to keep the secret amongst the adults....but clearly when the child, mother and grandmother are all there – and the Dad knows them all and the whole story – and is in the picture as well....there’s no way that is even remotely a “closed adoption.” ((edited for typo))
