Phaedra does stuff to get attention too....that black net outfit? In front of everyone's husband? Come on now. Just because no one was all that interested in what she was trying to sell, doesn't mean she wasn't trying to sell it. And I think Kenya pulling Apollo aside at the cigar bar was for the express purpose of getting him to admit that he was a big fat liar on national TV. and I think both women have said some things in the talking heads, I'm not sure who made it personal first, but I think the animosity on the show and in the talking heads started off over the workout video. I don't think that this has been the first time that Apollo has cheated on Phaedra, so I think pregnant or not, she knew the score when it came up. But she was embarrassed, and instead of just living with being embarrassed, she instead decided to go around Atlanta lying about Kenya. And even worse, even more reprehensible to me, she tried to set up these rules that would never allow Kenya to get the truth out. This rule that Kenya can't even talk to Apollo unless Phaedra is around is clearly a rule designed to keep Apollo from admitting, on camera, that Kenya never offered him sex. So basically, Phaedra wanted a situation where she could ruin another womans reputation with a lie, and that woman wasn't even allowed to defend herself. According to Phaedra, Kenya was just supposed to sit there and let her go all over Atlanta lying about her, and do nothing about it. Just so that Phaedra could keep up a front that she has a great marriage. And just "not wanting to admit your wrong" when you've gone all over Atlanta lying about this woman, and trying to put her in a position where she can't even defend herself is not an excuse. Phaedra owes Kenya an apology, no matter how much pride she has, she was in the wrong. Way in the wrong. Why should Kenya have to be sacrificed for the Phaedra's delusion of a good marriage and a perfect life?

he also makes us dainty salads so as not to offend our gastronomic sensibilities, and he lets us arrange ourselves at the door while we're waiting, because us little ladies like to look powerful good for our manfolk! That 'ol cowpoke is rootin' tootin' and as respectful as stallion courtin' a mare! ETA: I still think he either had sex with, or was going to have sex with that corn.

Thank you for that mental picture of Scrappy in 20-30 years. He will probably be wearing the same outfit. I wish they would do an "old Scrappy" type character on boondocks. Seriously though with Ariane! Is there a scene in which she isn't crying? Pull yourself together girl! Speaking of crazy tatts....geez Waka Flocka! I didn't notice until this episode just how many tatts he had! Ahh, how soon I forget about the Nene Leakes line, the off the shoulder shirt collection and maxi dresses. I don't watch HSN, but yes, I would consider a line on HSN a success, and certainly more successful than I thought any reality star line would ever be. Well Erica's line is different....it comes with hoochie hardware.....very Classiq!

I forget too. Like how apparently everyone at Kaleena's doctors office looks like an extra and is okay with having their face on national TV. No one is at all surprised that there is a camera crew in the doctors office.... But I do hope its all fake so they can keep working on that song, it sounded good, and for as much shit as I talk about Karlie Redd she probably hustles harder, and she certainly has been hustling longer, so she deserves a hit.

Of course. I hope she never comes back. If you can't be on a reality show, and be real when life is difficult, I'm not all that interested in your life when its awesome. I'm not a fan of Porsha, but she let us see her pain when she was getting divorced. Cynthia let us see all her problems with Peter, Bar One, her sister, etc, etc. Kandi let us see her crazy ass mother acting crazy. Phaedra is the only one who wants all the benefits of being on a reality show, with none of the drawbacks. She only wants to be on camera if she can convince us that her life is perfect and she is great. But the minute things get sticky and she'll have to answer a few questions she is out. And yes, I know she has young kids, but they don't have to be on camera, and I think at this point they are too young to know, and even if Ayden is smart enough to figure things out, I think most of any damage has already been done by his father going away, and since she is going to be the spokesperson for Xenadrine its not like she is going to be out of the public eye, so whatever dirt people are going to dig up and use on her they will use anyways...so in short I don't buy her sons as an excuse to not return to the show. But in more important news, who is going to take her place??? I hope its not either of those two lame ass broads they were trying to bring on last year. Natalie, and the other chick who was married to big Chuck.

Sadly, it seems brilliant.....its just so boring....and so lame....

saying that someone has an attractive mate is not lusting after them. It may just be commenting on their good taste. I wouldn't have any problem with someone telling me I was dating someone who was good looking, I try to date good looking men. She approached him to text her? About a business deal? I don't see that as evidence of the scarlet letter. I think she simply thought he was a good looking man, I think lots of men are good looking, a great deal of them are married. I think Dwayne Johnson is fine, I think he is FIONE. I don't think that makes me a lusty slut, I think that makes me human because he is a beautiful man. And don't even get me started on Idris Alba, because there isn't a word for how good looking I think he is. She told all the others that Kenya had offered Apollo sex, and that she was a whore. She never once offered to sleep with Apollo, and I suspect that Phaedra knew that. How and why? Because I don't think Apollo is faithful to Phaedra, so all a woman has to do is offer and Apollo will have sex with her. The reason Kenya and Apollo never had sex was because Kenya never offered, and Phaedra would know that based on Apollo's views on fidelity. Which he shared with everyone at the pillow talk party. So Phaedra had a good idea that Kenya never offered Apollo sex and yet went around spreading that lie all over Atlanta. She hoped that by putting her rules in place that Kenya would never be able to get Apollo alone in a situation where he would admit the truth on camera. But she let her little guard down in Mexico, and she got played. And now she can't go around, spreading the lies she was happily spreading in Atlanta about Kenya. Without that very public confession by Apollo, the one on national TV she would have continued to insist that Kenya offered Apollo sex. And I think she knew damn well it was untrue or else she would not have been so worried about them sitting together at a table in Mexico in a public cigar bar, being watched by 5 men with hawkeyes and being filmed by a camera crew. Why would she be so worried? Because she knew that Apollo is a moron, and he would admit the truth, and once he did that, there couldn't be anymore "Kenya Moore Whore" and poor innocent put upon Apollo, and victim Phaedra. The vitriol directed at Kenya came at Phaedra's bidding, and her insistence that Kenya was offering Apollo sex. Kenya's behavior could be seen in one of two ways, either someone that has a funky sense of humor and strange sensibilities but essentially harmless. Or as an evil Jezebel. No one thought Jezebel until Phaedra came on the scene insisting that Kenya was offering Apollo sex....which is the lie she was spreading all over Atlanta.

Well...this little lady was busy throwing up a little in her mouth at the very thought of aforementioned britches, so she may not have been paying full attention while roaming the range for her smellin' salts :)

True. Because I remember an interview Julie Chen did and she said that they all though Aaryn was going to be "America's sweetheart" and they were shocked when her rampant racism came to light in the house. So I get the feeling that if they were able to get away with it, they would not have shown any of her racist rants, but they knew the live feed watchers would have been in absolute revolt if they had attempted to cover it up so they had to show it. I guess they figure no one will revolt over Caleb being a creepy mccreepster and everyone co-signing. I don't see what damages they could get out of any contract they had with him if he decided to self evict. And wouldn't he just then go to the jury house if he self-evicted?

Geez, how many fudges and lies did he need to get on the show? Could he even cook? Boil water?

Well listen up here buckaroo, he offered to show America his split "britches" but the judges refused....whats a cowboy to do????

Its a hail mary. I didn't watch Dick's season (I started to watch season 13 and then got bored and annoyed for some reason), but I think the America angle is all Amber has at this point. Especially coming off of Season 15, when Aaryn thought everyone would love her and laugh along with her "Sheniqua" impersonations and got a rude awakening when she left the house. and everyone associated with her got a rude awakening. and her family got a rude awakening. and the cast seemed to generally be disliked. Frankie, as image conscious as he is, is not going to want any part of America potentially hating him. And I don't think Derrick wants that either.

Oops, I despised Helen too. And I think she somehow took credit for the dress, and then crowed about how much better she was than Patricia because she won something even though she didn't do the work. IIRC, but I couldn't even remember Helen's name so what do I know LMAO about the velvet rope bustier - you're right, that's probably coming but depending on who does it, I agree that it should win. If Mitchell Perry attempts it, it will likely be a hot mess, but I can see him going more "Forever 21" romper on this one. I'm thinking Korina may be the one with the "my design is so amazing that even if I do it in drapes...which are like fabric...which Tim told me not to use....its so awesome the judges will still put me in the top 3 for sure"

dang - I couldn't have said it better. Preach.

which one is Sean? they need to take a page from RuPauls Drag Race, I knew more names when they introduced them in 2 groups. Someone will definitely use the curtains, no matter how many times they are told, to the point of annoyance that this is an unconventional materials challenge and that the judges will be most disappointed if they use anything conventional. But I thought unconventional materials was normally a little further in. I hope they get more than a day to do this challenge. Unconventional materials have produced some of the prettiest designs, I can't remember who used a bunch of hats and turned it into a beautiful dress. I think it might have been Leyana and Kate, and I despised Leyana.

LMAO! I get a visual of someone tossing and turning in bed mumbling "no crazy eyes, I don't want your Taco Soup", "no crazy eyes, I don't want to see your crotch torn pants!" but don't you just love Sarah's faux humble tone when she says things like that? Thats whats going to make me smile when she gets eliminated (and if she wins I'm going pah stahl on everyone's ass at FN! just kidding!)

But were any customers actually boycotting the fight tent? My feeling was that the clergy officially were against the fight tents, but sort of let it slide if it was a man in charge of it. So its not like the clergy ever really used the fight tent. It was hard to tell if their organized boycott was working in any way or if business was down in the fight tent. Unless it was referenced specifically and I missed it, I didn't know that there was any loss of profit or business. So, if profits weren't down, was it an actual threat to her business? But it certainly was a potential threat to her business. Alak seemed pretty exasperated when he told her that she was "so human" or something along those lines, but YMMV on it. And I don't think that Alak would tell Christie much about the business because she has never approved of it. When she met him, he wasn't involved in the business in any way, it was Datak's business and he was still the crazy mixed up son that had this crazy radio station, record business going. Alak probably never foresaw getting involved in the business in any greater capacity, and neither did Christie. But the situation changed and it seems like Alak learned a lot more about the business than he wanted to very quickly, but he can't tell Christie, or doesnt' want to because she wouldn't understand, wouldn't appreciate why he felt like he couldn't just refuse and get up in his mothers face the same way she got up in his fathers face, or the same way that she refuses and runs away from her father.

something tells me those special little snowflakes are just the sort that love to say "no" and be begged and pleaded with only to continue to say "no." I'm not sure how he would have even gotten through all the initial "no's" and all the begging and pleading in under 10 minutes. But spaghetti squash is good, and with non finicky children I think the experience could most certainly be fun. I know the first time I had a spaghetti squash (in my early 30's) the experience of using the fork to get it "spaghetti like" was super amusing for me! Sarah is so oogy. Her eyes get so wide and bright, I think her delusions may be the result of some "mommies little helpers" This has truly been the season of the crazy eyes!

Kids are such jerks. I enjoyed the curve episode, except some people got a horrible curve (a helicopter is landing and is going to blow away the entire set! what are you going to do, you only have 2:00 for this segment!!!!) and others got a laughable curve (we gave you a spoon with a strange handle, or a slotted spoon)

Castor Oil is a nasty business, my mom also had shark oil....I think I just stopped telling her about certain ailments. His grandma didn't have a recipe for that :) Although, I suspect that if the children had seen him break that open and start going at it with a fork they might have refused to eat it. It was them seeing the vegetables that made them refuse.... I think parents that are actively struggling against a 10 year old kid aren't the sort to see the value in teaching their kid that lesson. Not a knock on them, we're all different I suppose, but they didn't seem like they were going to make their children do anything. My mother never hid the medicine :( And she had all sorts of home remedies that tasted positively disgusting.

I think a diet devoid of any vegetables might be detrimental for a child. You'll get vitamins in vegetables that you probably won't get in rice or potatoes. A few other people have said that cauliflower mashed or riced doesn't smell or taste as awful as cauliflower as a vegetable (which I hate). I think if you're the type of parent that considers getting your child to eat vegetables a fight (in my house, it wasn't, I simply had to eat them) but you want your kid to get the nutrients and benefits from vegetables then I don't think hiding them is so bad. And I'm not even entirely sure you have to lie, as a kid I don't remember asking a ton of questions, I let my eyes pretty much tell me what I was eating. And I'm guessing with a delicious meat sauce on top, your nose might not even tell you its cauliflower.

Thats Lenny???? Why is he calling my parents names? And is he about to have sex with the cameraman or with the food, because it was going all sorts of dirty with the corn and chilis....

I wonder if those types of pre-nups can be voided by a judge because they seem to be unconscionable, and there is no consideration for the party who gets nothing. I assume a pre-nup, at its heart is a contract, but a contract requires consideration by both parties. An agreement that basically says "you marry me and get nothing if we divorce" doesn't seem like much consideration for Todd.

Yep.....I cosign on both of these posts. I'm not above snarking on someones looks. You put yourself in the public eye.....well...... And Christie has done plenty to make herself a target, including telling people that cops let her out of speeding tickets because she is so frickin' hot. Come on now, you're just begging for someone to talk shit if you say things like that. Even if Amber said things like that I would say she was begging for someone to talk shit. If you're gonna tell me you're so hot that cops just rip up tickets at the mere sight of your hotness, you're just begging for comment on said hotness...or delusion of hotness. As for the guys, I think Frankie looks like a rooster, I'm not sure if thats what he is going for. As for Cody, he is abnormally good looking. And I've talked plenty shit about Derrick and his funky ass eyebrows and strange facial hair. Someone hates his forearms. If Derrick had started talking about how all the ladies drop their drawers for him because he is hot shit, I think people would have been talking plenty more shit about his looks. Because I think he is probably one of the most unattractive men I've seen...just in life.

I was half paying attention, so I didn't catch that he was reminding the judges about Sarah's screwup. While I think he has crazy eyes, I give credit to anyone for bringing Sarah down a few notches, so I'm on board with him bringing it up :)
