A target accessory wall would not come as a shock at all. I've already decided my line in the sand is a Payless Shoe/Walmart accessory wall.

A real job? Whaaa, I feel like he would break out in hives if you suggested he get a job with health benefits and a 401k I know right! She was making such a big build up to the fabric choice that I was sure it was going to be raw silk, even rayon, but lycra....Classiq! She does look special, and she doesn't really say much either, so its especially bad when she just wears that vacant smile LMAO! I feel sorry for the women of Atlanta, somehow Kirk has 5 kids and this dude has 9! Are there so few men in Atlanta that there are the only viable options??

Its hard to say, because Yoplait was a sponsor a season or two ago, and I think thats a pretty confusing sponsor. Red Robin is even more confusing to me, because I don't generally think that the Red Robin consumer watches PR. I can't remember where I read it, but I read somewhere that Harvey Weinstein I think or some executive producer basically said that the show would take any sponsor as long as the money was right. I guess I just don't see what Red Robin gets out of it. I mean are they trying to become a more elevated brand? Are they hoping for new customers? Because I don't think RR gets much out of the sponsorship, its entirely possible that a sponsor had dropped out because of the epic fail of UTG and so they were selling a PR sponsorship at rock bottom prices, and so Red Robin simply decided "what the hell!" But I agree the sponsors have, for years, been coming down in terms of status. We went from the BlueFly accessory wall to the Belk accessory wall last year. I remember the makeup sponsor being laura mercier and now its mary kay. I've always thought the guest judge were supposed to be their "real self" on the show. I've never watched Modern Family, but just based on her PR appearance, I'm no fan of Julie Bowen. I can't imagine she thought what she was doing was winning her any new fans, so I'm assuming thats her real self....

Really? I'm always so confused as to what the rules are on this show, oh well, I might give it to him on the last night or something :) The life coach just wants to be the 7th bad girl. Whatever, I'm so tired of her. She is always stirring up drama - pushing Alex to start fights, basically sitting in Redd's lap when Redd told her not to, and then crying when Redd got mad. I'm not a fan of Redd's, but damn, if someone tells you you're in their personal space and they are uncomfortable, get a clue and move. Especially when that someone is a really big girl! And yes, Redd did the same thing to Jada, but I expect more from a therapist and life coach. Oh man, she is probably going to be at the reunion....I hope she gets beat up. I was really proud of Aysia for the private conversation she had with her dad. I know that had to take a lot from someone who grew up scared of their dad. I appreciate that she didn't do it in front of the lame ass life coach. Yes, absolutely shocked that Britt is gonna fight someone, and yes, of course its lame because its a new girl so everyone will be on her side, but at least she will go from shit talker to shit doer, and thats at least a step.

Considering where he is from, he might have been valedictorian and a college graduate...... Yeah, Hayden should never involve himself in a conversation that calls other people too unattractive for TV. Because his was not a face made for primetime. Jessie was reasonable looking, but Amanda? with those Groucho Marx eyebrows? She looked like a man...which is why I guess these men find her attractive.

Thank you for that, Beatrice calmed me down. I think she is adorable. That kid raises my blood pressure.

I had so much to say about this episode, but then! I saw the previews for next week....does Britt actually fight someone? Say whaaaaaa? But back to the episode 1. Laura (the lame) lifecoach - I can appreciate that she got Redd's dad to give her an apology, but WTF is it with her trying to get Blu to admit that she is gay to her mother? I mean, I know the mother is going to see it on the show, but still, thats not her place, Blu should tell her loved ones in her own time about her sexual orientation. 2. Redd and her dad - I actually understood it, and I don't think the dynamic with her dad was a lie. Every one of them has issues with their parents, but cover it up by acting over the top happy to see them. Both Redd and her dad seem like people who appear happy on the outside, but keep their troubles on the inside. Appearance is more important than what actually is. I wouldn't be surprised if the two of them can barely talk to each other when they are alone, but when they have an audience its much easier. I also think there is a lot of Redd putting on, she may be just like her dad, and maybe she wants to be a daddy's girl, but if her and her dad have such a strained relationship, to the point where she has to put forth all the effort, then I'm not sure she is really her daddy's girl. But I feel bad for her, because she so very clearly wants to be a daddy's girl, and she wants that love from her father. 3. Ratio's of mom's to dad's - seriously, men of the world, if you don't want to be around your children, just use a condom and don't have them. I bet a lot of the problems these girls have can be traced back to not having a strong father in their life. 4. Blu's mom - is beautiful! or at least super well put together! I think those two were the classiest looking women there. 5. Alex's friend - I'm still confused as to why he was showing up to the club when Alex wasn't even going? I don't think thats any excuse to be rude to him, although to be fair, it looked like Jada just left instead of getting angry. But he did seem very extra. 6. Jada's family - she is right! They are all mad little! 7. Britt - blah, blah, blah, more talk about how "no girl will step to me" "no one will take me on" whatever bitch, you're a bad girl, if you want to fight someone, you don't need an engraved invitation! Her family didn't even look like they were buying her lame ass stories. 8. The fight - no knock to the cameramen, but I feel like it was a 30 second fight edited to make it a 10 minute fight, and why was 95% of it Redd's giant ass? And WTF was she thinking running into traffic, she reminded me of that footage when they corner an angry bear before they hit it with a tranquilizer and drag it back into the forest. 9. Male BGC producer - hot damn! he is cute! how are these girls bringing these ratchet dudes to the house when that guy is around?

Yeah, I guess I wish when he started complaining to his parents about how he "doesn't tolerate dorkiness" in their car they would put his little ass right out of the car. That kid really does make my blood boil, instead of being thankful that he has a home, two parents who love him but can't afford a $30,000 car to please his royal coolness, he is judging them for being dorky. I guess they should just go ahead and blow money on a new car, in fact, I hope its the money they had in his college fund, and when special snowflake is getting ready to go off to college they should say "well listen, I wish we could pay for it, but we know how much you hate dorkiness so we bought a brand new car instead of saving for a college education." I mean really, when did we become a culture where you have to make purchases you can't afford just to gain your kids affections?

I suspect mom preps every meal with that sort of attitude and then falls into begging them to eat....like "please do me this favor by eating these vegetables" Oprah once said that we teach people how to treat us, and I think that applies to these kids. Their mom has taught them that them eating is doing her some great big favor, so its a power that they have over her, which I would imagine she reinforces by begging and pleading with them to eat stuff.

I suspect...and its only a suspicion, that someone like Christine is so unused to male attention, that she perceives any male attention, or any guy being nice to her as a sign that he wants her. Sadly, because I grew up very sheltered, and because I only got semi attractive a little later in life, I spent most of my years not getting any male attention, and when I did, I was never quite sure what it meant. I suspect that Christine hasn't gotten much male attention in life, because, well, she just isn't the prettiest girl in the world. And so she may not even know how to process any male attention.

This kid is the fucking worst kid ever. I can not believe that any parent would put up with this shit, I wish to hell his parents would have put his little entitled ass right out of the car and make him walk. He is everything I think is wrong with children. His parents are working to put a roof over his ungrateful little head, food in his stomach, and dorky faux bomber jackets over his clothes, but they just aren't "cool enough" for him because their car isn't up to his standards. How in the world this commercial convinced anyone to buy anything is beyond me. This commercial only sold me on the idea of birth control, because I couldn't handle this kid. This kid makes my fucking blood boil, as soon as I saw his little assholey smug face I remembered this commercial and how much I despised it. BTW Mr "Too Cool for School", the punk posers from 1982 called, they want their scroungy hair and skinny jeans back.

In a word. Yes - it was that bad. His behavior would have been bad coming from someone I was sort of "meh" about, but it was about a million times worse because I really, really, really liked Tim Gunn. It was a little like finding out batman is just some guy with a toolbelt and a latex fetish.

Well, to be fair, Justin Beiber also makes me feel things I shouldn't.....rage, annoyance. He looks like a 10 year old boy, she couldn't possibly be talking about any other feelings.

I miss MK too! I don't know that a solid reason was ever given for why he left the show. Like a child whose father just told her that he is "going to get cigarettes and will be right back" I keep sitting on the porch, waiting for MK to return. I agree with others that the elimination was mostly production driven. Mitchell Perry seems okay talking shit about the other designers, and especially Shandaya (spelling! I know!) so it fits in well with the "mean girl" drama that they want to create. The "mean girl bully" drama also gives Tim Gunn a chance to try to salvage his reputation from Under the Gunn, in that he will step in, stop the bullying and save the day. But after Under the Gunn, I'm not sure if that will seem genuine to me at all.

well that explains part of it. I thought that dress was lame, and not very springy, although the back was nice. I can't even remember what he looks like. LMAO @ "the Avengers" The one day challenges, especially for unconventional materials irritates me. Because when shit starts falling apart on the runway they cop an attitude, and what do you expect? And now, with the majority of the challenges being one day, now they are taking a "closer look" at the top and bottom designs. Do you really expect perfect seaming and construction when you give them half the time? Even with two and three day challenges, people would send unfinished crap down the runway.

I have to admit, I was kinda thinking that too about the Kalenna office visit and the mold. I'm a cynic too. And yes, his ninth child, when they don't even take care of the one that the two of them have together!!!! Are condoms not available in Atlanta?? Karlie just better keep it together and get that song out, unless she wants to be singing "Prada, Gucci" in the old folks home. I just wish all these women would stop talking about how they trade sex for career opportunities. I know its a brave new world, but geez, if you're gonna trade sex for a career opportunity, let that career be Oprahs or Jennifer Hudson's, not some video someone threw together in a club! I also agree about Stevie being better this season. I'm not sure how much of that is storyline, but he seems genuine in his love for his little girl. As for Benzino putting Mimi on the cover, I get that, apparently this magazine makes its money off of LHH covers and storylines, and so its hard to avoid the Mimi thing. I think Benzino knew he had to do it, but he did it without Stevie's permission so that Stevie would have any "blood on his hands." And I'm not sure what he was trying to save Mimi from, since Mimi was perfectly fine being on the cover, she just wanted to get paid for it. IMO, RHOA has better viewership than LHHATL, so if Bar One, or any other Peter Thomas venture can't succeed when he apparently is a successful restaurateur, I think its entirely possible that Sleze and Zino's can't make it either. And in another eye rolling preview....apparently they are trying to launch Althea's singing career too.....goodness. Prada, Gucci for everyone! Oh, and Erica said it like it was gospel, because her clothes will only be made out of lycra....so that every woman can enjoy a Classiq! dress

Oh, someone could tell me right to my face my boyfriend was fine, I would be thrilled. I don't assume my boyfriend or anyone I'm dating becomes less attractive the minute we decide to date. And Phaedra would have known better, because she knows Apollo, and she knows his game. I assume Apollo came up with some story, but Phaedra, knowing Apollo, knew damn well exactly what happened. And she would know that Kenya didn't offer him any sex because if she had, then Apollo and Kenya would have had sex. I certainly don't think Apollo has been faithful, especially based on his "pillow talk party" conversation. So Phaedra knows his game, and so she knew good and well that Kenya didn't offer him any sex. This is why she was so upset in Mexico with the two of them just talking, even if it was in a public room, surrounded by people, 5 of whom were watching them like a hawk, and a camera crew that was taping them. They clearly weren't going to have, or plan to have sex in front of a camera crew, so why get so bent out of shape, she wasn't going to offer to "do what Phaedra couldn't" in front of a camera crew. But Phaedra knew damn well she had been lying about Kenya, and Apollo was right there probably telling the truth. And he was. And Phaedra wanted no part of the truth being told on national TV. It was far more preferable for her to be able to continue to lie about what Kenya did. She insisted on him not talking to Kenya, because she couldn't control the situation if she wasn't there. And she couldn't, the minute Kenya got Apollo alone, she got him to admit he lied on national TV. And thats why Phaedra was upset. I could understand your point if the two of them were off in a quiet, secluded corner talking alone, but they were in a public cigar bar, being watched by 5 other male cast members, and a camera crew. So they surely weren't talking about sex, so why get so upset, why get so bent out of shape? Because you know that you've been going all over Atlanta lying about this woman, and Apollo isn't bright enough to keep his mouth shut. And once the world knows that Kenya never offered Apollo sex, you can't continue to lie about her all over Atlanta and play the innocent victim, with your husband being put upon by Kenya. the thing is, when Kenya approached Phaedra in Savannah, she clearly had not moved on, because she was lying all over Atlanta about Kenya offering sex to her husband. She hadn't just dropped it, she hadn't' moved on she was going around lying about Kenya. So what was Kenya supposed to do, allow herself to be sacrificed for Phaedra's image? Phaedra refused to talk to her, or discuss it with her, she just wanted to go on lying about her. So yeah, Kenya did what she had to do, and thats on Phaedra, if she had deigned to talk to her about it in Savannah they could have come to an understanding. If something like "your man is fione" and "can we have a threesome" came from a person who is known for twerking pianos, and slapping other women on the ass, and generally saying inappropriate crap, no, I actually don't think I would have a problem with it. Like I said, I had a friend who we used to call (a la Dave Chapelle) a "habitual line stepper." and I never took offense to anything that friend said, because they just had an odd sense of humor/sensibilities. I can't imagine any man that I'm with, taking that seriously if a woman says it right to my face. I think if she had an ill intent, she wouldn't have said any of it in front of Phaedra, why put Phaedra on to her big plan to steal her man? Answer: she wouldn't, because she had no intent to sleep with Apollo. She said most of it right in front of Phaedra, so its not like she was pulling Apollo aside in a corner and telling him he was fine and asking him for sex. I think if Idris Alba's girlfriend took offense to every woman who flirted with him in front of her, she would have nothing to do all day but be offended, I would tell her to be more concerned about the women that aren't saying it in front of her face. I also don't think there is anything wrong with texting someone that you have business with. Kenya had also put work into that deal before Phaedra decided to shut it down, I don't fault her for trying to save her business venture when she had already worked towards it. As far as she knew, she had two business partners, both with equal power, and one who was refusing to work with her. I think anyone in their right mind who sees a profitable venture with a partner who is shut down would go to the other partner to try to get the deal back on track.

That like second degree pop-tart murder right there. Although the cinnamon toast crunch is especially bad because he has crazy eyes. Shit's not right man....shits not right

Oh burn on me! Sorry about that, what a sexist asshole assumption I made. My dad would have never thought that much about the intricacies of child rearing. You sound like an amazing father!

This makes sense, you sound like a great mom. My mom was pretty firm on having to eat vegetables, no matter how much I hated them, but I don't think she pushed anything when I was sick other than chicken noodle soup (which I love, so we were good). And I tell you what, I was not put off by the kid that spit the food out, because at least he tried it and then decided he didn't like it. He gave it a shot, and it was probably spicy as hell so I'm down with that.

The ants are the only HG's making big and bold game moves!

There were tiffs IMO. And I wouldn't term them vitriolic by any means (come on...ashy feet versus you're a whore because you're offering my husband sex) They are the same fights the girls on almost any RH show will have with the other girls on a RH show. The vitriol for Kenya came with Phaedra insisting that Kenya was offering Apollo sex, which she knew was a lie, but insisted on telling because in her mind Kenya should be sacrificed for Phaedra's image. I don't think Kenya is totally blameless in the situation. However, she tried to talk to Phaedra about it in Savannah and Phaedra refused. Then she went all over Atlanta lying about Kenya. I think if Phaedra had either deigned to talk to Kenya in Savannah, or just had shut her mouth either the whole thing would have been dropped, worked out, or I could find more fault with Kenya.

I'm okay with male eye candy, and I do think he is good looking and charming. I also like the accent, and I've never not been able to understand him. But it is a total MV thing, and I'm certainly not in the FN target demographic. I thought they always said Luca's food was good, but he wasn't on very long, but I thought they always said the problem wasn't his food, it was his ability to connect with the camera and the speech thing. so what do you end up doing with the youngest?

I feel an original Mitchell Perry design moment!

Cock a doodle doo indeed! I find Derrick remarkably unattractive. Something about his face, and his lack of eyebrows, and that lame ass chin strap. I don't even have time to consider his puny forearms.
