@dutronc, this may be a chicken and the egg situation. Hmm, chickens and eggs, two things Pauline would prefer fried!

I very much suspect she was approved for surgery because she is on the show. They had already invested time and resources in chronicling her life. She was more than comfortable letting them film her naked, having her ass washed, etc., so she makes for good reality TV. Given that she needed to be hospitalized to lose any weight, there was no reason to believe that she would be successful with weight loss after having the surgery. She is not committed to weight loss or lifestyle change. I noticed she was doing something several of the posters here have mentioned, eating many small, high-calorie meals after the surgery. Just because she can't eat as much at once doesn't stop her from eating almost constantly. I had a friend who is somewhat similar in her excuses for weight gain. She also does not cook and, when she had a back injury, she almost lived off of pizza. But she could find a way to walk to the local KFC. I have another friend who calls herself a master food assembler. While she also doesn't cook, she purchases many reasonably healthy precooked items. In our area, this is fairly easy to do and supermarkets will deliver. (Given that Pauline has "Dhilly" at her beck and call, she does not need delivery). In that case, it becomes just an excuse to say you cannot find healthier alternatives. It would also lessen Pauline's ability to enjoy her manipulation of others.

I'm pretty sure Abraham's hair is from the very belly of Satan so it always looks the same; that is, horrific. He does an amazing job of keeping his facial hair neatly trimmed and his hair day glo orange and standing straight up with no hair products or grooming devices. Rick, on the other hand, looks like he rolls in pig grease on a daily basis. Norman Reedus has said that his sparse beard is about all he can grow. No matter what, he cannot go full on Rick a-family-of-beavers-has taken-up-residence-in-my-beard Grimes, even if he wanted to.

I would assume Penny watches a lot of cooking shows (perhaps getting new recipes she can assemble from her toilet bed). Restaurants will say "fire" for start cooking. The expediter will tell different groups when to fire their dishes to try to have an entire order come out at the same time. I'm going to say that's not a huge deal at a diner where she spent a big $45 on meals for three people. I like that she expects us to be impressed by the amount they spent and her use of the jargon. AT the same time, her use of English is atrocious and she is an all around repellent person, but, wow, I am impressed she said fire.

Sasha not only stabbed a walker in the head, she moved forward from the spot where they could toss them down the ravine. She set up a situation in which, at least on that side of the road, she was between any walkers sidling on by and the other people who could dispose of them. So the group seemed to move forward to keep her form being overrun. I noticed we had more African American walkers this time. Maybe TPTB are trying to address the racial imbalance for the area in the walker population, since they keep killing of the African American men.

It ends up I am working with the breeder of the old English sheepdog. I'm not sure if he's still the owner. Go fluffy dog!

Jimmy is still pretty quick on his feet. He just hasn't identified all of his possible tools yet. Nor does he fully understand that he is potentially dealing with sociopaths. When he negotiated down to a broken leg each, he did not understand at first how "an eye for an eye" would be seen as "So you want me to blind them?" He needs some time to truly understand his audience - his creepy, volatile audience.

Way back when Owen first appeared, he seemed to be a master of trauma care and incredibly capable of not only running the ER but improving their methods, processes and success rates. Now he is capable of standing around looking either concerned, angry or constipated, depending on the scene. That hospital doesn't just kill physicians through bizarre circumstances, it destroys their skills and competence. After a few years there, I'm surprised he can dress himself.

It was a total dick move on Adam's part to move Hannah out without telling her and move Mimi-Rose in. He has never been the best at communication. The only hint we had to what was going on was their lack of phone calls after she left for Iowa. But I don't remember them establishing him as being reticent to use the phone previously. He may not have been at Hannah levels of over-sharing, but he did text and answer phone calls. I assume he didn't say anything because he foolishly thought Hannah would last longer in Iowa. She got into her two-year dream program and washed herself out in two months. He could lie to himself and say he was holding the apartment for her so she would have a place when she returned or some other self-serving BS. Of course, it took him a little while to realize he needed to leave when she did return. As for Jessa, there are no words. She is a terrible friend in every possible way - selfish, narcissistic, cruel . . . .

We've locked these women in a dark room for six weeks, only letting them out when we applied our products. We have told them that if they like what they see when we let them see themselves in a mirror at the end of this time, they will be allowed to go home. Surprisingly, they were all over-joyed with their results. Yet, none were willing to do another six week stint.

If Jimmy hadn't warned the Kettlemens, Nacho could have really scored. That was a lot of cash. One more thing to eat away at Jimmy being a good guy. Having your kids sing John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt should be considered child abuse.

I think Michael Cudlitz is one of the sexiest men alive. Then again, I tend to go for beefy people. That only increases the absolute horror I find his godawful orange hair to be. How dare they do this to such a good-looking man. Oh, the humanity! In the ZA, as a person with a disability, I will be a mess. But if they settled down somewhere, I could turn damn near anything into a meal. Bring me a dead critter, I'l have it dressed and ready for cooking, preserve some and make broth from the bones. Might even turn the skins into something. I can also set up a rice paddy if we have water, grow vegetables, find edible roots, etc. I like when Daryl hunts small animals - it is realistic. Heck, I even enjoyed his worm snack. I'd be trapping insects. The bigger problem is a lack of water. If you don't have sufficient water, you shouldn't eat. Someone up thread mentioning cooking down greens for the liquid. That would be a good start when no fresh water is available. If they're travelling, I would expect them to walk as close as possible to streams so they would have access to clean water.

They said the Pekingnese was not reacting well to the crowd so the handler asked to be excused for the good of the dog. I like when the lesser known breeds make the finals. It brings much more notice to the show than when a well known breed wins. Non-dog show people tend to remember them more and may become interested in viewing the show to learn more about other breeds. That's how it was for me.

Chaz Dean, for Wen shampoo for dogs, wash your hair! You look greasier and filthier than Daryl on The Walking Dead. Daryl has an excuse with being in the zombie apocalypse. What's your excuse for that slicked backed grease bomb on your head?

I really wanted the xolo to take the group. Then again I was also rooting for the Chinese Crested for the toys. I'm a fan of hairless dogs. They are too often overlooked. I know the Crested was a powderpuff, the hairless dog's hairy brother. We have one of our own. They are great dogs.

I'm happy for the beagle, but the Otterhound won me over. What a happy looking dog. I am always surprised by how bog the paws are on many of the hounds. And the beagle wins my heart when he goes for his handlers pocket full of treats. The hound are really showing personality this year.

I agree it's stock price manipulation, But basically they tempted others into insider trading by dangling information they should not know or act on if they do know to tempt to act. This was very Marty Kaan in action. Loved it! I also loved the way Marty confronted Roscoe. Let's play a game. Scrabble? Risk? And how long it took the kids to figure it out.

You would think at least a few people would be up guarding the door, not just Daryl sitting as far from it as possible. Does no one worry about stragglers? Sasha's hair is starting to look a little frizzy, but she keeps it tightly pulled back. In a weird way, I appreciate that filthy mop on top of Daryl's head. I definitely look at him and believe he is caked in filth. As to Abraham's head of horror, I am hoping they find walkers are attracted to it's fiery brilliance and they have to shave his head so we don't have to see it anymore. The shot of him was the most startling thing in this episode.

With Aaron being so clean and mentioning that he had "good news" I assumed a Jehovah's Witness or Mormon had survived and was still going door-to-door to spread the gospel.

I kept noticing that one of the dogs kept wagging his tail. Snarling and wagging seemed to be an odd combination. I was hoping that the group would strip down and shower in the rain. I can smell them through the TV at this point.

The break up scene between Hannah and Adam was so well done. After all of the conversations with everyone else, it was nice to see something that felt so real between these two. Of course, he hadn't yet found the waste basket full of urine.

I think this is the first time Amelia did not make me stabby. April was right, miracles do happen!

Hey, I already took one for the team and looked at it. I am not willing to relive the trauma by describing it.

A couple of key things slipped through in the talking heads last night. First, we learned that Helen, who they were previously trying to present as someone who sold $5,000 couture gowns, still lives in a studio apartment that has a clothing rack five feet from the stove and a sewing machine in place of a table. While she may have sold a gown or two, she certainly is not selling enough of them to be considered successful. Second, Dmitri’s comments about the need to win again made it sound like he did not get much of a professional boost from winning his season. He really needs another jump start to his fashion career.

Given her porn career, we can't be sure she hasn't been basted. I'll let myself out . . .
