That is going to be the only thought that keeps my brain from exploding if they don't kill off that jackass in the next two episodes. :)

If his mother is that involved in his love life it may leave room for no other woman. I know I would run as far and as fast from a man who had a mother with that level of involvement. ETA: LMAO at the bolded section. Truer words...truer words....

At this point in BE, its almost a sign of respect to get killed off.

I don't think they would have any positive duty to inform anyone if they knew he was up to something. I can only think of those documentaries where they pretty much film people shooting up drugs.

Maybe Grammy Dormondy has been in touch?

I didn't watch the interview, and it sounds like it would make my blood pressure go up, but no matter what Apollo says/admits to, it doesn't necessarily change what the government will do if they want to charge her. She may not have her name on any paperwork, but I think if the government wants to build a case, they still can, and her going around on TV may not be the best idea. And I think it would be a black eye to the Georgia Bar, after her deposition to allow her to keep her bar card in that state.

Oh...very interesting...poison ivy, two face, whoever arnold Schwarzenegger played all could be victims. As for Barbara, she doesn't seem like the sort that will just accept that he is keeping secrets to protect her, so I sort of get it, especially in light of how quick she was to call the press when he did share even a little with her. I don't even look in a kaleidoscope without the vague subconscious fear that I shouldn't be putting my eye right there. But now you add a man in the dark telling me to look into something "he just invented" while I'm walking to my car....awwww hell no! I also wouldn't have died if I were in Cobblepot's crew because I don't like cannoli. I'm really interested in seeing what finally drives Cobblepot fully underground. I actually liked it because it wasn't so obvious, and she may have acted slow to put the other woman off. The other chick was taking off her earrings and shoes like she was really gonna wipe the floor with her, the winner may have been playing into that arrogance. I probably would have been rolling my eyes if they had taken the obvious route of having the girl who appeared ready to go win...it would have been too obvious. And it showed me, if nothing else that this girl has the primal instinct, she didn't have to prepare, she didn't have to take off her shoes or her earrings, by sheer will alone she was going to win that fight. Maroney's plan was to have the dump site. Falcone's plan was in line with the Wayne's to build a new asylum. Now Falcone will refurbish the asylum and Maroney will get the waste dump. At least thats how I understood it. That way the mayor could appease both sides and keep himself safe.

Thats one point of view, but why not hand over the award when you have a really talented black actress in the category. For years I railed that PR never had a black female winner, and so every time a black female was cast I was rooting for her. But they waited, and waited, and waited, and waited until they had a black female contestant that was worthy of the win (IMO), and that made the win that much sweeter. I knew that they didn't just hand it to Dom to be politically correct, or just because they felt it was time because they had black contestants every year, but because she was the best. The Razzie she won seems like the only award that reflects her acting ability. I do want a black female lead to win an Emmy, I think that would be amazing, but it would cheapen it if the woman to win were Kerry Washington.....I know MV though.

She has got to be the worst I've seen. And I watch The Blacklist, so I know all about bad actresses. The wine gulping is on the list of top 3 things she does horribly, trust me, the list is much longer than 3, but wine gulping is right up there. It gives me a shudder just thinking about how stupid she looks trying to do it. I get what she is trying to convey, but she is so over the top about it, it just starts to look like a bad joke. I mean seriously, Taraji wasn't available for the part? Sanaa? Like you said...Gabrielle? Were all the talented black actresses away at a convention, so when casting came around Kerry Washington was the only one around? She should have been at the absolute bottom of the list of black actresses to get the part. And now, because she is the lead, the show is stuck with her, which is sad because it could be a wonderful show. I love that we, as black people, want to represent, and get awards and recognition within our community. But it just looks like a handout if you're handing people like Kerry Washington any award based on acting. She shouldn't even be getting a BET award

...I like where you're going with this....he loses his ability to speak and then kills himself right?

The unauthorized practice of law is not allowed, and is a crime (at least in California, but I imagine in all 50 states). And its a big deal, especially when a lawyer in one state will try to advise or hold themselves out as a lawyer in another. For a student it would be a big deal because if you got caught doing that, it would certainly show up on your moral character application for the bar, so I don't think you would be admitted to the bar with something like that on your record Law school students love to talk....you just don't even want to know....they love it, love it, love it, love it. Anyone who wants legal advice from a 1L is an idiot and deserves whatever half ass legal advice they get.

I been bamboozled, run amok, hoodwinked!

Meh - I'm starting to think that Judi is whack. Her determination of who her "friends" are seem mostly based on who does stuff for her and who isn't telling her the truth. At best, Judi is a drunk, at worst, she is a manipulative personality and a drunk. I think she has played the "poor me" act as a sick child to get attention from her parents and to get away with shit and unfortunately that has continued on as an adult. I liked crazy Judi in her season of BGC, but this seems like a much more manipulative person to me. I guess she is going to be the star of this season though, so good for her, I guess it will help her sell shot glasses or whatever other ridiculous business she, as a drunk, has involved herself in. As for Natalie - the previews show her trying to sell a book next episode about her "travels all over the world" and its about the size of a MadLibs. Pathetic. I wonder if there is a market out there for natalie books. Laura the life coach, as usual, is off the mark. Its her first visit, but she "knows Camilla" can achieve her goals...how? Jada forgives people and lets things go, how and when did that become a bad thing, letting things go and moving forward are what most therapist and psychologists hope for with patients.

I feel like they are going for a Daisy in Great Gatsby look for her, but they just never quite get it right.

well, if he bought it, its really his hair....

You guys are the best! This is actually making me feel better! I love all the ideas, but I am especially in love with a flaying, especially if it involves the audience from Narcisse's dumb play flaying him. I also think the Megan Boone wig adds a certain psychological insult, although part of me thinks Narcisse may want to be a woman and that unfulfilled desire is why he is such a monumental ass.

I have been thinking about Chalky more than I should, mostly because I hate Narcisse so damn much. But I think Chalky is such a tragic figure in some ways. He sort of reminds me of Sigrid in a way. I think that she idealized her dream of becoming this American wife, and the reality never lived up to the dream and she became sour and bitter. I think Chalky, all his life, wanted what he got, a respectable wife, a beautiful daughter, an intelligent son. By all looks of it a devoted and loving family. He had money, he carved out a piece of life that made him money and gave him a level of respect in his community. But I don't think his dream made him happy. There always seemed to be a part of him that just never quite seemed comfortable, or maybe never even thought he was good enough for all the things he had. Maybe he punished himself for not being happy with the things that should have made him happy. I feel like Chalky really wanted to be happy with his beautiful life, and I certainly think he loved Maybelle to pieces, but I never got the feeling he was fully happy, even though it must have been what he worked so hard for. I couldn't even watch Chalky's death, I just couldn't. But I think the most beautiful, most heartbreakingly beautiful line was when Daughter said something like "we should leave together", and Chalky says, in a tone of voice thats almost playful "but that doesn't make any sense, we're going in two different directions." And I almost teared up in that moment, because it was in that moment that I knew and I knew that Chalky knew, and I knew that Daughter knew. He didn't make a big deal of it, he didn't try to escape it, he just accepted it, and tried to make light of it. I don't think anything will be as beautiful as Richard Harrow's death. That ranks right up there with the series finale of six feet under for me (which had me crying like a little girl)

I agree with you and your spell check. The spelling of her name is ridiculous, and I have no idea why parents do that to their children. 1. Nikki is general is a mystery. She is somehow congratulating Mally for only getting his dick sucked by another woman? and then giving herself props for sucking the best dick, what? She missed the entire point. But she seems to miss the entire point of everything. When Mally was trying to give her the first box with nothing in it to make a point, she totally missed it and kept wondering if he was tricking her. I just wish I knew why her baby hair looked like that, it reminds me of Theresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey. 2. OMG, you got that right on the money that is exactly what Berg looks like. Like some twerpy kid brother on a sitcom, but I guess to Hazel he looks like George Clooney or Denzel Washington (who I actually think looks better as he has gotten older) 3. LMAO @ Ray J drenched in lip balm! It's so sad, but I live in Southern California, and I truly think this is what Hollywood/LA does to people. It just makes women in general feel like, no matter what, they aren't pretty enough, good enough, or young enough. If a woman only sees herself as being physically pretty, or doesn't think she has anything else to offer it can be so hard. And the sad thing is, that for all that plastic surgery, everyone ends up pretty much looking the same. Everyone has the same nose, everyone has the same cheekbones, everyone has the same lips. Its just sad. All this "promise" shit, its such a scam. All of his "promises" are so vague, even when her mother asked what a promise ring meant she was like "It's for him to promise to try to work harder?" WTF? You're right. She should burn all his clothes :) Or is that not the moment we're talking about On an unrelated note, people who won't cover their coughs are the absolute worst in the entire world. I once sprinted from someone who was phlegm hacking in 5 inch platform heels in the middle of the street. I was running like I was in a scary movie. At the time it was SARS, but still, what the hell is wrong with people?? Oh man! Once again I've been bamboozled by Mona, I just assumed that he must have been producing hits because everyone keeps saying it, and he keeps saying it so I assumed it was true! When will I learn?

You would have to be pretty blind or pretty drunk for Nikki to start looking like Kim K. I mean I am no Kim K fan, not even close, but Nikki is a pretty low budget Kim K....I mean real low budget....like Ramen low budget...no, in fact, more like that no name off brand Ramen they sell at the 99 cent store low budget Sorta looks like a man? She and Nikki could show up on the next season of Ru Pauls Drag Race, except Ru Paul requires a certain level of fabulous that they just don't have (although, I will grant that Nikki's white ballgown in the middle of the day was just dramatic enough for a drag queen) And yes, in what universe does Omarion's mother (I do not know her name) think that someone is gonna be clamoring to drop a child off with her? I might look for a pack of wild wolves first.

Daniel just seems like the same dopey non-factor he ever was. I only feel a little sliver of sorry for him, because he gave Charlotte $7,000 he couldn't afford for rent, and she snorted it, and then he got kicked out of his place. Of course, if he had deigned to start "working again" like the normal man, he would have found out that no one was interested in hiring him and then he could have gotten a reasonable place for himself instead of waiting until they had to kick him out of his posh hotel. I don't even know why he thought an investment bank would want him. Even without the scandal, his only work experience was at Grayson....the business owned by his family, how does that prove he is a competent investment banker? Its like assuming I'm a master chef because my dad is Gordon Ramsay and he lets me work in the kitchen. And then, the family business he works for is in total disarray and ruin, why would any investment bank, with loads of young, talented, driven people at their fingertips clamor to hire him? They might have when he was in the society pages with Emily Thorne, just to get the entree into that privileged world, but if he loses that, what good is he to an investment bank? I feel like Louise has a plan with Daniel, and was probably talking to a dial tone just to get Daniel to talk to her so she could interact with/have some way to Victoria. Oh well, I guess we won't get to see Daniel looking for a room at the YMCA.

I hate Narcisse - in light of the events on the last episode, I really want him to die.....badly. So I thought I would start a topic about all the interesting/realistic/funny/painful ways that BE can kill him off in the next two (TWO!) episodes. Please, feel free to be as creative, historically accurate as you'd like or anything in between. I'm hoping that reading your posts will be cathartic. It can't be healthy for me to hate a fictional character from a TV show this much.

This show...where do I even begin. 1. Nikki - you look absolutely fucking ridiculous with that giant fake ass. And she keeps wearing tight ass clothing, so I know she thinks it looks good, but damn, face of Alfred E. Newman and a giant Frankenass. Just stop. I didn't even think Masaka was that pretty until I saw her next to Nikki, and I was like "geez, this girl is beautiful." Some plastic surgeon out there is lucky that she thinks she looks good, because from where I sit she has a good case for malpractice, or just crimes against humanity. 1b. Nikki - how much "promise stuff" are you going to take from Mally? You realize it means nothing, and he can kick you out of that place just the same way Ray-J did to Tierra Marie and move another one in. And she is annoying..."how is he lying?" bitch, how do you think, he clearly had sex with that girl and you're the dummy having sex with him without a condom. I guess you'll be the next one with a bag of STD meds left in someone's house, although maybe she got a plastic vajajay that is immune to STD's. 2. Hazel - its just getting painful now. How many ways/times does he have to tell you he doesn't want to be with you. And then she keeps trying to act like "its all about business" but clearly its not, he is working on a record for you, so if it was only business you would shut up. And stop calling him your man. STOP IT! Or at least do it off screen, its just getting hard to watch her. I think he is doing her a huge favor by breaking it off, although I'm sure as soon as they are "in the studio" they will be right back at it. 3. Tierra Marie - Although, no matter how nuts Hazel is Tierra was wrong. Not because handling her business is wrong, but because when it comes to her, she expects 2000% loyalty. You have to fight her fights, always take her side, never tell her she is wrong about anything. But she won't give that much loyalty in return. No matter how ridiculous Hazel's feelings are for Berg, they are still her feelings, and you know how much working with him would hurt her. If TM didn't expect so much loyalty....all the time, from EVERYONE, I wouldn't have a problem, but people are hypocrites IMO when their definition of friendship for them is different than their definition of friendship from you. 3b. Tierra Marie - I would also like to point out that for the most part, the weaves on this show have been on point, but that super side part tonight was not the business. 4. Omarions mother - oh, really, Apryl is selfish and you know it? Is she as selfish as a woman using her grown son for money and asking him to put her ahead of his family? Is that how selfish she is?

begins to? I wonder if a Judi alliance = "I got sloppy drunk and you didn't yell at me, only talked shit about me behind my back"

I implore you - do not watch that episode of CSI! Right now you have a open and happy heart about wearing animal outfits....CSI will ruin that for you! Ruin it! *le sigh* so does my spelling :(

so I see i'm not the only one who saw that episode of CSI
