Persnickety1

Well, I'll say one thing. Damn that wedding planner and her lackadaisical planning skills. If that overpaid twit had been on the ball, she'd have made damned sure that throwing that bouquet happened BEFORE Cigarette Sally left. I desperately wanted to see her making a quarterback run to catch that damned thing.

Well, they appear to be a cross between a punch and a slap. I watched the replay of the season premiere when she was walloping on Schwartz or whichever chucklefuck it was she thought was hitting James. She closes her fingers straight over her palm, similar to a fist but not quite, but then follows through with a slap-like motion. I figured it was some crazy move she learned to protect one's knuckles from a straight-out punch but still deliver a wallop stronger than a slap. Look at the end of the scene when she clobbers James the second time. IIRC, her fingers are in this "fist" position when she first pulls back. Leave it to these asshats to teach me a new fighting skill.

Eh, reverse the genders and it's really not much different than Jax trying to flirt his way back into Carmen's pants when he doesn't have 2 fucks to give about her. Difference is apparently (hopefully) Carmen's too smart to fall for his fuckery again. I'm pretty good with anything these chucklefucks do to each other to accentuate their idiocy. No DVD and it isn't even on Hulu (which has a ton of Bravo shows, including every franchise and every episode of the Housewives). I have every season hoarded on my DVR and I keep crossing my fingers my DVR doesn't die before somebody releases this shit to Hulu or DVD. I'd practically cut a bitch to see any and all lost footage/outtakes/unseen footage of this shit-covered little gem.

Yeah, and I'm 50 shades of pissed off about that shit, too. I wanted to see silver sequined high-waisted hot pants, silver sequined wedge tennis shoes, and Scheana jumping up on a table top to sing that shit. I feel so cheated. Agreed. I commented earlier in the thread about Lisa continuing to say Scheana pulled off this "princess wedding on a waitress salary," oh my, she deserves it all, darhling!!!! When here we have Scheana herself stating several times that she paid for it with her lawsuit settlement. Lisa needs to pull her head out of her pink-clad ass and pay more attention to the stories being created on her own show.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. Maybe because in my own mind I can't imagine being anywhere in that chucklefuck's vicinity that the idea of agreeing to do a scene with him would just be impossible for me so I'm projecting my stance onto Phaedra. I just found it odd that she would choose to skip his sentencing hearing (to a lot of public shaming for doing so) and be filing for divorce yet agree to doing one last scene with him. When money is involved, anything is possible. Well, maybe not for people like we PTVers in most instances, but for people used to the "fame" reality TV brings.

I'm really struggling to wrap my mind around your posts. So, forgive me, no snark intended, but why the fresh hell would Phaedra agree to a fuck-and-awe show like this with Apollo, the man whose sentencing hearing she skipped? The man she's allegedly either is already filing for divorce or is preparing to file for divorce? That makes no sense to me at all. I can see where you're totally convinced everything is 100% fake and that's cool, we're all entitled to our opinions, but I just don't get your logic here. Forgive me if this sounds snarky, it's totally not intended that way, I just can't wrap own addled mind around your logic in this insistence it's all fake, as if you know it to be fake for a fact.

Precisely. Plus I've read in more than one article that she had a photographic memory as a child. Whether that's true or not, I have no clue, but if it is true, that would have made her a dream kid to cast. Obviously if she did have a photographic memory that skill is long gone now.

BAH!!! I noticed that, too, and, bitch that I am, I snickered for longer than I should have. How so, Peter? By not changing your sexed-up sheets for 6 months? Those are some mad planning skills, dude. Ugh. Clearly damage control is not Peter's strong suit. Absofuckinglutely.

I thought he looked like he had dropped a few pounds for the wedding as well. Of course, compared to the manorexic-looking FI Tom and Schwartz, most guys would look heavier than they actually are. Same here, WQ. I think we only have about 3-4 episodes left, including the reunion. My Monday nights will be a wasteland of despair after that. I'll be bitchier than Kristen in a parking lot being told she's unmanageable and has fucked everyone at SUR when this season wraps up. Will those smokes be 100s or shorts?

I've seen her lingerie on the show. Maybe he was just confused about which was the trash and which was the lingerie. I always thought Kim was so successful as a child/teen actor because was at the time the quintessential "All American" girl with the blond hair and blue eyes that Hollywood wanted to promote. . Her acting never bowled me over, either. I found her usually to be acceptable but certainly never in a class with, say, Jodie Foster or even Tatum O'Neal when she did Paper Moon or Linda Blair when she made a succession of relatively controversial films as a teen. Of course, neither Tatum O'Neal nor Linda Blair have acting careers now so I guess Kim is in good company.

Hell, I spent 2 seasons thinking that idiot Schwartz was a nice, relatively normal, sensible guy. Then Bravo expanded his role and allowed him to actually speak at length. So much for that delusion. He's as dim (maybe even dimmer) than the rest of them. If Shay gets more screen time next season, we may find it's the same with him. Schwartz reminds me of that old expression, "It's better to say nothing and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt," or however it goes. And, honestly, Lisa STFU with that bullshit about Scheana putting together a princess' wedding on a waitress' salary. Several references have been made that this shindig was financed by a settlement Scheana received for one of her mishaps that resulted in physical injury. A settlement which, if I'm reading between the lines accurately, was about $100,000. That settlement was not part of her waitress salary. Now I'm off to go take a mini-vacation by gazing into Mr. Persnickety's eyes. I think it will take me to the corner store, so I won't be gone long. Fuckin' FI Tom. I'm still gagging about that shit today.

Maybe he's provided by TLC if he's also been seen guarding The Little Couple? Maybe since she's under contract with TLC, it's a perk she can use for appearing in other TLC-approved programs? Just judging by some of the angry posts by rational people here directed at Kate, if I were in her shoes I'd probably want a bodyguard, too. There's a lot of nuts out there in those trees. Being at one time the most hated woman in America can't be an easy title to live down and people do tend to hold grudges.

I noticed that, too. Not "the man that I love" or anything personal, just that she had a husband and none of her friends did. Which obviously makes her a superior being. At least in her mind. I think Cigarette Sally did phrase this best: "She's faithful to him...And he kisses her ass, so it works." Yeah, pretty much sums it up. Good luck with that, Shay.

Oh, holy shit, is it a sign of end times??? None of us have mentioned the Punches Heard 'Round The World! Yeah, Busboy was being all sorts of drunk and dickish but, damn, Kristen sure went for the "double tap" pretty fast. It's like those ultimate warrior moves she pulled during the season opener at Scheana's birthday party. I can't wait until next week to see if James is walking around holding an ice pack to his jaw like Kristen had to do after Stassi socked her up. That being said, I gotta give a shout out to Cigarette Sally. She really didn't start anything and behaved with appropriate comportment at the wedding and reception. Well, except for that "double tap" incident. I hope she makes up for it next week.

I loved Lisa's little snark about not wanting to touch him. We hear ya, Lisa. We wouldn't want to touch him, either. I love this. Oh, and Scheana, so glad you put on straps to that crop top for the reception. And here I was wondering how the girl was going to manage to bust one of her UH-mazing dance moves whilst holding up the top. Silly me. Scheana came to the reception prepared. Now if only she would have done some dancing actually worth watching.

I watched and listened carefully a second time. He had a pretty thick accent. I don't think he fumbled lines. I think he was just ESL. Yeah, I agree with that. It almost had to be production or a neighbor he's buddies with who informed him locksmiths were showing up at the house. I also saw a Comcast truck across the street from Phaedra's house, so there were apparently at least 2-3 work trucks right there at her house. Or maybe his buddy, Bun, was cruising by and called him. While it could have been a shit-stirring neighbor, Bun, or Bravo, I tend to lean more toward Bravo alerting him to the fact they were at the house and Phaedra was having the locks changed or that something was going down at the house and he might want to go check it out. Too bad Apollo hadn't turned himself in that morning. Bravo wouldn't have had their scary-assed ratings machine in full gear. I thought the entire scenario was uncomfortable up to the point where he came back and grabbed the drill. Then it became a little too real and frightening. If Bravo did contact him and suggest he come by, that was really irresponsible. Assuming all we saw unfold is real, it makes me uncomfortable to believe Bravo is potentially putting their people in harm's way by playing their little behind-the-scene ratings games. Just because a camera is rolling doesn't mean you're safe. YouTube has an overwhelming amount of evidence of this.

And the scar left on his forehead persists. I wish someone would have captured him on video running full on into that plated glass at the drugstore. I'd pay good money to watch that shit. Repeatedly.

I have a strong suspicion that Katie is his meal ticket. I can't imagine he books many modeling jobs and the local ones he does manage to get can't pay for shit. From what she said a few episodes ago, when he's not hanging out with the chucklefucks at SUR, he's at home being 16 and gaming it up. I think Katie is the breadwinner and paying all of the bills, including his. He's happy to sit back in his teenage mind and just let her take care of him, IMO.

I think it was a Mexican buffet, Scoobs. Someone mentioned enchiladas, and I'm pretty sure I saw rice and beans on others' plates. Now, for the other good stuff... Thank you, FI Tom, for letting me know I do not need to leave my living room to have a vacay. I can simply gaze into Mr. Persnickety's eye. GTFO. Is that some line you learned in acting school? Were you reciting that fuckery from some acting class you took at some point? Holy gagworthy. And really, Schwartz. Giving your long-term girlfriend a ridiculous "ring on a string" signifies commitment? In what world? The world of SUR? Hey, buddy, you're not getting any younger and neither is she. If you can't get your shit straight and get serious, cut her loose and let her find someone else. Before she turns back into that not-so-lovable lush known as Tequila Katie. Nobody wants to see that shit again. Stassi. Just STFU and GTFO. As much as you entertained me with your unbridled snark the first 2 seasons of this show, your appearance this season proves you're expendable. And please, by all means, take that fucking Kristina with you when you go. Vail, still playing the players at SUR. Can't snark on her game so I'll just say you go, girl. Makes bigger fools out of them than they already are. Carmen, congrats on not getting "Jax'd" again. And thank you, Bravo, for showing us that Carmen had told Jax earlier that she would not be spending the night at the wedding venue. Just don't hang around with these chucklefucks too long because I strongly suspect whatever they have is contagious. Speaking of contagious, what the fuck was that on Ariana's back? Well, besides FI Tom when he was hanging all over her. Was that one of those temporary tattoos in the shape of a lipstick kiss, or perhaps the pox of some dreaded and as-yet-undiagnosed STD? With this crew, anything is possible. I will hang my head in shame and admit it to my fellow PTV'ers. That reception looked like a whole lot of good times and I think Scheana did a great job with it all. No matter who really paid for it.

Because Trump is the king of unpredictable douchebaggery.

Hence the word "claims" in my post, my friend. I assume nothing where these chucklefucks are concerned; however, since Scheana is running all about WeHo stating that she herself paid for every single thing with her settlement check, that's what we have to work with. Precisely.

Yeah, I thought I saw a new addition to the cast as well. I'm so glad it's coming back. I had read a few speculative articles that Bravo had shelved it after one of the women hit the other one in the head with a bottle so I thought it was a goner.

Because Schaena claims to have paid for it.

Gotta look close and quickly but, yes, he does set it down after she backs away from him. He leaned barely perceptibly to his right and set it on something in the garage (must have been something at least hip high because he barely has to lean over to set it down), and then continued to approach her. He kept pulling the trigger on that drill when he first approached her with it. Maybe he never raised it against her, but his behavior with that electric drill (a potentially lethal weapon) was all sorts of aggressive to my view. I'd say so, too. Particularly since he kept squeezing the trigger on it before he put it down. Looked pretty aggressive to me. I hate the sound those things make.

Oh, hot damn, this made my day. This show returns Sunday, March 29th. Here's a link to the season preview on the Bravo page: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/first-look-at-blood-sweat-heels-season-2?cid=bsh_blog It's not nearly as snarkalicious as VPR but it will help to fill that empty void in my little black heart.
