    About Whitney's braces:  She's finally getting a hint about her beaver front teeth.  I don't understand how braces are going to fix them unless the braces include chains that pull those buck teeth back up into her gums.  She specifically said that those two teeth were the reason for the braces--I hope someone will explain how braces are going to help.

    Yeah, don't dentists normally just 'reshape' teeth like that? I had a tiny chip in one of my front teeth, and they just filed it down.

  2. I turned this off after seeing Whitless in those horrendous black leggings pulled all the way up to her boobs, with the print top tucked in. Feast your eyes, Frenchie!

    What happens when Lenny falls off the wagon? Whit will have, what, a cat and 3 big poodles to care for?

  3. I'm usually pretty good with UK accents of various regions, but I agree with JudyObscure that the Scots dialect on this one has me defeated. I'm getting the general idea of all the components of the mystery coming together, but the details being revealed/hinted at in the dialogue are lost to me. Also, there are supposed to be 'wit' and 'jokes' (according to the promo material), but I'm only getting the visual stuff- like that ridiculous office.

  4. Boy, are we going to be surprised when it turns out Marcellino is going to school trying to get an actual job skill! Or he's at the library writing that novel like he always said he would! Or whatever lame 'shocker' Sharp has ready for the denoument of this boring couple's plotline.

    Ray looked like he had to reach deep down to find the courage to propose to what's her name: 'Yes, she'll be attached to me til death like a lamprey on a salmon, but I can stop worrying about that $140K now'.

    How is it possible that there are multiple women fighting for possession of KEVIN and SHAWN??!!

    Dentistry's (thanks, Mothra!) mad contouring skills involve making both her mom and herself look jaundiced. And am I the only one who thinks mom could pass for 75?

  5. What about the one for (some brand I can't remember) 'period panties' where the cool older sister throws a pair to her little sis to help her get over the trauma of having mom demonstrate how to use a tampon. I always wonder when I see ads for these panties, who gets to wash these blood-soaked things and do you put them in with the rest of the wash or what? Ugh.

    Also ugh: the ad for (some medication I can't remember) where the woman travels around on A TOILET.

  6. How is June going to be able to pay child support if she's not on TV going forward? Not that I really care, since it's only 2 years til Alana is on her own.

    The 3 all looked good above the neck, but those dresses were horrendous. Jessica's red nightmare made her body look like a boa constrictor's following a meal of baby elephant.

    I really don't understand how those stylists are able to stand up long enough to work on hair- their poor knee and hip joints! The owner's insurance premiums must be astronomical (assuming she even covers her employees).

  7. This episode was worth watching just for that lingering side-by-side comparison shot of Sugar Bear and Justin (aka Splenda Bear). 

    Although to be honest, Justin actually sounded reasonable during his private convo with June. Of course, I thought Geno was sensible and a good influence on June at one time 🙄

  8. I kept thinking this was all some alcoholic dream Morse was having, particularly when the doctor looked almost identical to Joan (right?). I guess we're supposed to hand-wave away the fact that an abandoned hotel would still, after 8 YEARS, be dust and spiderweb-free, full of fancy furniture and knick-knacks, and still be fully stocked with expensive liquor. Absurd.

    I'm in the Anti-Win group, and have never understood why poor old Fred didn't save himself and leave her.

    Is Justin the one stringing her along for rent and cars while engaged to someone else or was this some other shitturd

    Well, I have no doubt he is also using June for her money, but there had been a previous boy toy- I think he was 24- who was replaced by |Justin/meth mouth. That was the 'one in Alabama' that Pumpkin was referring to. I didn't realize til I saw June and justin side by side how tiny and frail this dude is. 

    I thought the therapy session was actually moving- poor Josh is suffering more than June's kids (or at least he's more open about showing it). I used to think June was an uncouth, but good-hearted yokel, but she's really a terrible person.

    Ginger Baby Ben is absolutely adorable.

  10. Not much to say about last night's show, other than: Sugar Bear v.2.0 doesn't have many/any teeth, right? He never opened his mouth wide enough to see, but his mouth has that 'toothless hillbilly' look. Also, the sisters are all fat, but they sure look healthy-beautiful skin and hair.

    However, the teaser for Love After Lockup was FIRE, and Super Size Salon (?) looks like yet another freak show.

  11. Haven't seen anything about this series, but I'm enjoying 'Redemption' on Britbox. Excellent acting, notably Paula Malcomson, and nicely twisty plot so far. Accents (set in Dublin) aren't totally impenetrable. I normally detest the 'family drama' stuff, but this one keeps it pretty restrained.

  12. Coventry Direct- company that buys life insurance policies or something. Senior couple says 'we thought we planned carefully for our retirement, but soon realized we would need another source of income'. That's some mighty fine 'planning' there, folks. 

    Also- Dollar Loan Company- with sad, saggy old Vince Neill driving a Zamboni around an ice rink. Lord, this is just depressing.

    And what WAS the deal with his baby momma? He didn't kiss her or hug her hello when he got home, only his baby and grandma. He literally never mentioned her or referenced her at all.

    I think he may have wanted to protect her from social media. He's a handsome guy and was getting a lot of drooling on SM, maybe he figured out (or was advised) that it would be wise to keep her out of the limelight.

    Personally, I think they wanted Noah to win this whole time

    Eh, I think they wanted a female winner. Remember how they stacked the top 24 with14 girls/10 guys (before Kennedi dropped out)? They just couldn't control things once public voting started. By Top 14, the judges had to save 3 girls (only 1 boy) to keep it at 7 girls, 7 boys.

    The Chosen One was Kenedi Anderson.

    I agree Kennedi was their horse, although I still don't think she could have overcome the audience demographics (JMO). 

    I suppose TPTB will have to continue with the Platinum Ticket crap for at least another year. If they can't get one of the ticket holders to win next year, it'll disappear.

  15. I watched, and it was a struggle to stick with it to the end. 

    June tried to drum up some drama by suggesting that Geno would get violent when she finally dumped him, but turns out, he wasn't even surprised- much less infuriated😆 Even the producer interviewing her seemed to be bored by the whole thing.

    The most interesting part was at the beginning, when it appeared that Pumpkin has shaved the back of her head for some reason. I laughed when Jessica agreed to move in with June to become her 'seeing eye dog'. Also June calling Alana 'skinny mini'- huh?

    I guess we're supposed to be interested in finding out what new loser June is preparing to latch herself onto, but since it's been on SM for months, maybe not.

    I thought they used that song because it's "Italian" music, like they use that chinka-chinka-chang piano music to indicate "Chinese".

    I agree. I think a lot of music chosen for ads is selected by millenial-or-younger agency drones who hear something on a TikTok that (in this case) sounds 'Italian' to them. Strangely, these folks don't seem to be capable of actually looking up/reading/comprehending the lyrics to make sure they're appropriate for the product they're selling. (There are a number of these out there, none of which I can remember at the moment!)
