FINALLY!!! Looks like the tentative premiere date is set for June 12th. Now if the bastards would only release a few more trailers to hold us over. http://undeadwalking.com/2015/04/28/when-will-fear-the-walking-dead-premiere/

I really don't care for Ramona at all, but I'll be damned if I didn't find her adorable in a couple of her talking head segments tonight, particularly the one where she said she was technically single. Yes, Ramona, you are...you go, girl, get yourself some!!!

And hip boots to wade through all of the bullshit contained therein. My sister rescued a 5-week-old pit bull puppy today that had been abandoned. I thought about Kingsley and how he was probably equally precious at that age, before this bitch came into his life and ruined any possible future he may have had. Because it can't be said enough, FUCK YOU, KIM RICHARDS.

She does, however, apparently like his idea about microchipping the expensive garments he takes in at the cleaners. I think I'm getting a sniff of the reason Dorinda chose to join the cast this season. Luckily for her, she does at least peripherally know some of those women, so she earned herself a spot on the show and an ability to hawk her wares.

Betheny tweeted this to LuAnn during tonight's episode, presumably regarding Heather T's attempted shit-stirring at the lunch: While I agree Bethenny could have tempered her response to Heather, I think she's very astute at sizing the other women up quickly and has sensed behind Heather's smile is the tongue of a shit-stirring asshole and just wanted to shut her down as quickly as possible.

Kyle and her kids need to just cut her out of their lives. This bitch has no desire to get sober. None. Nil. Nada. Zippo. No matter how much they love her, they need to love her (and themselves) enough to stop enabling her bullshit and let her drink/drug herself into oblivion as she so desires at this point. She will just continue to keep their lives in a constant state of turmoil and upheaval. She's made her choice perfectly clear, and it's NOT to stop using/abusing substances. They need to resign themselves to that fact and let her sink or swim. I caught that "little girls" comment, too, but then thought I must have misheard what she said. Glad to know I wasn't hearing things! I strongly suspect she would have been sent there after a medical detox. I thought I heard mention of detox at some point during the interview, but I'll have to watch it again to catch the context. I agree, I'm totally rooting for Chad. Of course, now that I've seen Kim's true colors a few times this season and during this interview, I can't help but wonder how much Chad's issues are directly related to growing up in a household led by Kim. Their childhoods must have been an absolute nightmare...which is continuing into their adult lives now.

BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE GOES THROUGH AT NIGHT!!!!!! Oh, wait...yes we do, she bellies up to the bar at the Polo Lounge and then harasses the other patrons. Never mind.

And #SaveChad!!! I'm not a particularly sensitive person, but even I seriously just felt so badly for those kids. The collective look on their faces during that interview told a story all its own.

Me, either. I do admit it was quite masterful, the way she started out blaming her Twitter and having to do her Bravo duty and write a blog and watch the reunion for her drinking... Then, as deftly as possible once she realizes she just threw Bravo - her boss - under the bus, she does a 180 spin and instead states it's her relationship with Kyle and Alexia that caused all of her stress. Goddamn..."hot mess" doesn't even begin to describe this bitch.

Well, now you've made me 100% goddamned in pain, Morbs!!! JK, but dammit, I am disappointed. I was looking for that silver lining in the dark dank cloud known as Kim. Le sigh...

I am 100% goddamned positive that if Kim had admitted right there on stage at the reunion that she had indeed relapsed every woman present would have surrounded her with hugs and sympathy and offers to help in any way that they could help. I don't believe a single one of them would have "judged" her in that moment. And it would have been one helluva epic redemption point for her stank ass in the process. And Bravo/Andy probably would have had even higher ratings with a huge mea culpa from the franchise addict.

And seriously, how dare this nasty bitch pull this ploy on 2 people she claims to love so much, Monty and Brooke. Can you even imagine the underlying guilt they must feel for dying and getting married? Even though hopefully they're both well-versed in addict-speak and hopefully give no credence to her statements about how overwhelming their situations are for poor little Kimmie, that's still got to nag at them, even subconsciously. Fuck you, Kim. Bow out of Brooke's second wedding if it's so goddamned 100% traumatic for you and give Monty the number for local hospice care, but quit blaming your bullshit on how "stressful" their life events (or, in Monty's case, death events) are to you.

I agree, Anna. I had googled earlier to see if Dr. Phil was on NBC. I thought maybe, due to the seriousness of the interview, NBC had chosen to handle it vis a vis Dr. Phil rather than through a Bravo interview. I was shocked to see Dr. Phil is on CBS. And I started wringing my sweaty (yet well manicured) little hands together hoping this signaled that Bravo has released her from any future contract.

Yup, and in the audio for the last 2-3 minutes, we got to see her drop the facade and go back to being Mega Bitch. I'm so glad Dr. Phil and/or CBS decided to go ahead and air that audio so that everyone could see what those kids have been trying to deal with all of their lives. I hope Chad went golfing again, too. I hope he goes on a fucking worldwide golfing vacation and gets away from this bitch on wheels.

But why in the world should Kyle quit a show she clearly mostly enjoys doing, an opportunity to promote her husband's business and her fledgling boutique, because of Kim's shenanigans and rhetoric? Their relationship had cracks and Kim had addiction issues long before this show even came along. If Kim can't handle, IMO it should be Kim that quits, not Kyle. She cannot live her life to suit Kim's pathological needs.

Sam scenario at Poker Night. That purported single 5 mg Vicodin Monty now claims to have given her would not have continued to amp up her shenanigans as the night wore on. It would have been wearing off rather quickly, especially since she claimed to have 100% goddamned pain. Well, and added to that the fact this bitch is very opiate-friendly what with all of her elective procedures and ER visits, etc., and most assuredly has developed at least some degree of tolerance to the medication. I don't know what she was really on during Poker Night but what we saw was not the result of a sober woman having taken a single 5 mg Vicodin. Not unless she washed it down with "2 inches" of vodka out of a 5-gallon bucket. And she was a lying sack of shit saying Brandi never drank in front of her unless they were working. Brandi already told Jennifer on the beach that she felt bad for having even a glass of wine in front of Kim, and I sincerely doubt Brandi meant while the cameras were rolling and all of the women were drinking except Kim. Poor Chad sensed the dragon in the den known as Kim was starting to breathe fire when he dared to call Brandi toxic and switched gears really fast. I feel for all 4 of her kids. Growing up with this nasty wench must have been pure hell most of the time.

ENTIRE DR PHIL SHOW IS ALREADY UP ON YOU TUBE!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e6vGVdc4-I (You're welcome) ETA: HOLY SHIT, THE BITCH KEPT HIM WAITING AND HE CONFRONTS HER RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!!!!! ETA: 12 minutes in and Dr. Phil is handing Kim her ass on a platter...Yikes! ETA: 17 minutes in and she admits to drinking wine and lying to everyone at the reunion. ETA: 26 minutes in and the kids are brought in... ETA: 28 minutes in --- Brandi is brought up and Kim goes against Chad's assertion that Brandi is toxic to defend Brandi. ETA: 37 minutes in Kim walks out when Dr. Phil informs her he has made arrangements for her locally "right down the road" (Malibu Beach Sober Living). He also points out she needs to stop making diva demands. ETA: TOTAL BITCH FOOTAGE AT 38 MINUTES, SCREAMING AND SWEARING AT HER KIDS AND "100% NOT GOING BACK IN THERE." Damn, Kimmie's really got a thing for percentages...She's de-miked but the kids aren't and Chad does indeed confront her about using pills and smoking pot. Kim maintains it's not like she drinks every day. Typical addict rhetoric. (Trying to highlight certain hot topics so anyone who wants to FF to a particular part of the interview can do so) Goddamned, this interview is more satisfying than a Snickers bar!!! On a personal note, those poor kids. Honestly, they looked like they had been through this so many, many times before and knew what the end result would likely be (and they were right). My black little heart just breaks for them knowing they had to grow up with this vile narcissistic woman for a mother.

Unless he has her strapped to a polygraph machine I don't know how he could accurately judge how "honest" she was. Hell, even strapped to a polygraph machine, Kim is so narcissistic and delusional, I'd be hard pressed to believe anything she said even if she passed it.

I read this, too, and, while I agree Brandi is toxic, Brandi did not pour that booze nor shove those pills down Kim's throat. Kim's addiction issues have been present for decades before she even met Brandi. It did make me wonder if perhaps the reason Brandi told Jennifer during their talk at the beach that she was getting uncomfortable even having a glass of wine around Kim was that perhaps Kim had started wanting to have a glass with her. Certainly, Kim is a grown-assed woman and, if she asks for a glass of wine, under normal circumstances, one could refuse to serve it to her...but in this case Kim would have left in a huff and Brandi wouldn't have had anyone left to film with. Add to that the fact that it's pretty much guaranteed if anyone heard Brandi had served Kim an alcoholic beverage, Kyle and others would no doubt have done just what Chad is doing..blamed Brandi for Kim's "relapse" (in quotes because I've never believed Kim has been substance-free during this show's entire run). I don't think we'll ever hear the truth about what was really going on behind the scenes with Brandi and Kim but I'm again putting the responsibility for Kim's choices on Kim. As much as I deplore Brandi, she is not responsible for Kim's choices.

And Amber said they talked on the phone for 7-1/2 hours that night. Probably whilst laying on her couch with her blankie as usual. So apparently she must have messaged him on Twitter to give him her phone number, too. I'm kind of wondering how he managed to visit with the production crew there. Hell, even "Ambie's" (short for Ambien?) production person looked absolutely mystified as to how this could have happened. I'm thinking there's an outstanding possibility the dude had not visited at all during filming and, upset about Gary and Kristina's revelation about the pregnancy, Amber just impulsively invited this dude to come and move in with her. You know, one of those destined-for-disaster "I'll show you!" strategies. That being said, I thought it was really rotten behavior on Gary's part to withdraw Leah's overnight visit because he didn't like the way Amber talked to him on the phone. He had even asked Leah if she wanted to go visit mommy. But, because he clearly enjoys his position of power with the custody issue, it looks like he'll be abusing that power to his own advantage. Off topic, but I'd love to see Gary subjected to a random blood sugar and blood pressure check on camera. Dude looks more like a heart attack waiting to happen every episode.

Holy idiocy.... That shit about Farrah's mom getting catfished is all over the internet. How the fresh hell did I miss this? Scammed out of $250,000. No wonder Farrah told her to get her shit together and she could visit. I'm not sure I'd want this bag of crazy living with me, either, mother or not. And, in true reality TV fauxlebrity fashion, Debra wrote a book about it. Must be some susceptibility gene in the blood line....I seem to recall Farrah getting totally scammed purchasing a car (and I'm pretty sure production sat there laughing their asses off when she fell for it on camera but at least she was a teenager unlike her gullible mother). http://starcasm.net/archives/295331

So it would appear Jessica has one of Mike's balls already in her purse and is going for the remaining one. He's actually known all of the Shahs longer than he's known Jessica herself. And the GG mess isn't what caused Mike to distance himself from the crew. As shown in the flashback, Reza had barely seen Mike since/over summer. I did like the way Reza slipped in the comment about how Mike did nothing in the office when he was working with Reza. I remembered that as well. Then we had Mike bitching that Reza expected him to actually (gasp!) find his own leads and do his own thing since he was such a self-proclaimed real estate whiz in Vegas. I think Jessica has been out to separate Mike from his buddies the Shahs for quite some time now. She's just bolder about it now with the ring on her finger. And at least one of Mike's balls in her purse.

I do believe I have caught the crushing syndrome on Ryan's dad tonight. I wanted to give him a huge hug when he pointed out to Ryan that ALL of the players in this train wreck had made poor decisions in their lives, not just Farrah. And then I wanted to give him an even bigger hug when he said Ryan's head was as hard as the table in front of him. Nicely played, Mr. Ryan's Dad. Very nicely. So I'm going to gather that, amongst all of the other apparent mental instability contained at Casa Crazy Abraham, Deb has also now hit her midlife crisis with both feet running like an Olympian. Seriously...what's with the new wardrobe and wanting your daughter to drop $8K on a liquid face lift? Deb, take a look in the mirror. You're already stretched thin and shiny as a freshly-shed reptile...You do NOT need yet another procedure at this time. Of course, maybe she wants to make sure she can get that quick $8K from Farrah before the MTV money boat capsizes. Amber hasn't changed a bit. Still dragging strange men around her daughter without even knowing them. I'm guessing she never even did a cursory background check on this dude before letting him around darling little Leah. Because, one thing I've learned from this show, the kid's safety is frequently not exactly the priority with these women. Looks like he's making his move, too, before that MTV money boat sinks like the Titanic. Anyone else remember some random loser Amber brought home who was oh-so-eager to change Leah's diaper? That guy was a total creeper. I think she picked him up at Walmart. And Maci? Hit the road, you judgmental bitch. Tipping my hat once again to Mr. Ryan's Dad, you ALL made some piss poor decisions in the past. Hell, I haven't liked your ass since you uprooted sweet little Bentley from both sets of grandparents so you could chase the unintelligible Kyle across the state line hoping to coerce him into procreating with you and marrying you. Talking about the best interests of your child when you've made some pretty squirrely decisions on your own is comical. Or, would be comical if a small child wasn't involved in your manhunts. And Catelyn? Keep a close eye on Tyler. He may not be (as far as the viewers know) a drinker or substance abuser, but the dude seems to be an apple that didn't roll too goddamned far from his paternal tree. As happy as you are to have NuvaRing, I still don't think you should hold your breath waiting for Tyler to marry you. And quite frankly you might be better off if he doesn't. Damn, I can't wait for Teen Mom 2 to start a new season. Nothing seems to change much with this crew, unfortunately.

In my mental fantasy, Brooke saw her mother crying and complaining about all the stress in her life during the reunion, including Brooke's upcoming wedding (and possibly Kim's intent to disinvite Kyle) and said, "Well, mom, if my wedding is causing you all of this stress, maybe you should just not be involved in the planning." And pop went the weasel...and possibly the wine cork as well.

Makes me wonder if Kim was table-hopping asking the remaining patrons, "Do you know who I am...And are you going to finish that drink???"
