    Why, why, why would a very grown-ass middle-aged person wear the expression and body language that Carrie has in this shot? It would already be ridiculous on someone twenty years younger. SJP may have been aiming for cute and flirty, but what she got was pathetic and embarrassing. It's an immature teen-age expression and pose, and very symbolic of how truly shitty and out of touch with reality this show is.

    That’s always been her schtick. She’s always been coy and silly around guys she likes.

    It does seem odd that none of the ladies made “couple friends” with their spouses along the way, and shouldn’t Charlotte have already collected a bunch of mom friends over the years her kids were growing up?   Making friends as you age is hard, but with the money at least Carrie and Charlotte have, they would have a more expanded social circle by now.  They could get some mileage from Carrie feeling sad and awkward around the couples she befriended with Big, but it sounds like they rarely talk about the day to day of her married life.
     

    The idea of Carrie moving back into her old apartment is so oddly depressing to me.  
     

    I loved that scene where Charlotte got drunk at lunch and horrified her old sorority sisters by talking about Trey’s problems in bed.  Even when the show explored bad sex back in the day, it was fun.  

    Never forgive this show for making Muad’dib impotent!

    I do the same. The whole They/Them doesn't offend me personally, just grammatically. My brain responds, "PLURAL. They and Them mean MORE THAN ONE PERSON." Shrug. I'm trying. 

    And does anyone else refer to LTW as Becky Barnett in their heads? Just me? Alrighty.

     

    Don’t know who that is, but she reminds me of my beautiful aunt, passed away several years now.

     

    does anyone recall Candace Bergen dressing Carrie down for dating Baryshnikov, portrayed as 20-30 years her senior?  Because Carrie, for my money, has always punched above her class with men (real life, too! Matthew Broderick, ferchrissakes), but would she have her pick of great looking comfortably wealthy NY men at her age?  Just imo.

    unpopular opinion, but it felt good seeing issa and lawrence back in a good place. i always seem to want it to work out with them. i never expect it to. 

     

    condola’s pregnancy was expected and disappointing. i wish we were done with her character. i don’t know how a lawrence + issa relationship can work now. not because the situation itself is too difficult to navigate; but moreso because of who lawrence is. a man-child with an amazing ass. he can’t possibly successfully juggle two women, a baby and a burgeoning career. something has got to give. 

    i predict lawrence + condola reuniting and having an unhappy marriage, with lawrence as house-husband, because that’s easier and he likes easy.

    i don’t like the nathan character at all. his accent seems so contrived. rooting for his mental health, tho.

    molly and andrew- he’s got way more patience than i do with her. and did her voice get progressively more hoarse as the season went on? i’m VERY over molly and wish we were done with her as well. that “see, im trying with her” cut deep. no gold stars for u, mol.

    now issa’s brother, i’ll have more of him, please. i love their sibling dynamic.

    the tiffany being missing storyline... watching i just kept wishing it would end sooner. i don’t care about her or her family at all. and i hold her acting + the writing at equal parts to blame. at the after show “wine down” amanda seales went ON and ON about how she stopped doing her nails thru the season so we could see her gradual undoing. GIRL. we were not paying attention to your nails at all. 

    this episode was so full of so much yet it felt so... empty

    here’s hoping for more... better, next season. 

     

    Odd remarks AFAIC, because the actress who plays Tiffany never looked prettier in that scene, without the blonde braids and attitude.

    My only issue with this firing is that the timing seems disingenuous. It seemed pretty clear at last weeks reunion that Bravo intended to forgive Brett and Max. And this Faith situation was public knowledge long ago and nothing came of it. To be clear, I’m not defending any of these people, just giving Bravo the side eye for their supposed tough stance now. I guess better late than never... 

    Makes sense to me.  Why pay their salaries when filming cannot even begin without restrictions.  As OGs, Stassi and K probably pulled down some cash.

     

    watch for J and B to go next.  Social media is out to get them.

    It is not a Secret Revealed that Katie and Tom are not having sex.  They’ve been in a drought since we met them.  It’s fine if they don’t have sex.  I don’t want them to have sex, on the off chance Tom’s sperm aren’t such lazy, underachieving swimmers that one of them might fertilize Katie’s egg.  That would be a nightmare.  But they don’t get to make it a storyline anymore. Neither do Tom and Ariana, whose sex life is also DOA.  I hate to say it, but James and Raquel seem to be the only people with healthy libidos on the show.  

    Jax was either full of shit when he pretended he was getting back to his midwestern roots last season and making an honest woman out of Brittany, the woman who is going to have his children because he wants to get back to basics and do Things! That! Matter! or he’s full of shit now when he balks at the idea of being alone with his own child.  I thought Jax implied that he wanted to be the kind of hands-on dad that would teach his kid to throw a ball around.  He is brand new with this “oh, I can’t be alone with the baby” thing.  I wish he’d just shut up about everything.  It’s a coke-fueled delusion at best and a completely made-for-tv conversation at worst.  

    I hate Stassi and Scheana together bonding over being mean girls.  There’s nothing fun about that.  Where was Janet this season?  And how much did Scheana’s head explode when Stassi told her that Dayna said she wanted to have a threesome with Janet?  This is the woman who, after all, complained in Puerto Vallarta that Lala wanted Scheana’s help in quelling her anxiety, but when it was time for girl-on-girl make-outs, Lala was nowhere to be found.  How rude!

    Danica’s Brett is far better looking than any of the other guys on the show, and he still looks vaguely homeless.  Danica was freaking scary looking in her TH in a ponytail.  I’m not quite sure how she landed him.  Her winning personality?

    I would have much rather seen Stassi attend her sister’s wedding and watch her family dynamic at play during the season than a lot of the other shit they threw at us.  But we can’t go on any journey that takes us out of Lisa’s orbit for more than a day, so that was a wrap before it happened.  

    Brittany at the doctor for her drinking problems and her ulcer?  Why don’t we just watch Jax get another rhinoplasty while we’re at it?  How many times is a doctor going to tell her to stop drinking and how many times is she going to ignore his advice?

    Stassi said exactly what I had said earlier in the season—she would prefer the person who is going to be her fiancé to just say he’s going to marry her.  She didn’t want or need the pomp and circumstance; that was for Bogie, as I suspected.  

    I love Charli—Brett’s hair looks like a backwards mullet!  Charli fighting with Dayna was actually entertaining.  It was the best thing that happened all episode.  They both seemed like pretty decent barb traders.  Too bad that couldn’t last longer.  

    I was shocked to agree with Jax, but I think he had Scheana’s number when he was working out with Brett—I think she pastes on a huge smile, and at night she goes home and cries and she is completely lonely.  I am not buying that this is some shitty edit that Scheana got, while Stassi got a “hero’s edit.”  I don’t look at Stassi as any kind of hero, but I think Scheana is empty in many senses.  

    Of course Beau has a tattoo of an ex-girlfriend from 10 years ago when he was 29.  I bet he looked into her eyes in the same creepy way too.  She probably just couldn’t financially support him, so he moved on.  

    No Kristen, Lala, Ariana, but so much Charli?  Beau got no live screen time either.  No one can argue they weren’t available.  Is this a harbinger of next season?

    Kristin gets laid.  Constantly.  With her freak on in parking lots.  Could be why they hate her.   Envy.

    Word to your entire post @ElectricBoogaloo.

    I was a fan of Condola's, but what she pulled with Issa was not fucking cool.  If you're working together, just be professional long enough to get to the end and then pull whatever bullshit you want.  That's one of my pet peeves.  

    I also am not sure that it's PPD.  I agree with you that Tiff is a box checker.  Even more so, I think Tiff's expectations about having a baby were all covered in love and cuteness and rainbows.  She wasn't prepared for the realities that come with motherhood - the long days being stuck at home (probably by herself) and sleepless nights, the exhaustion, the constant cleanup, the endless crying, etc.  It wasn't at all what she expected or wanted, and she can't return the baby.  

    So much this!

    she had a real good time decorating that nursery, but now she’s done.

    she needs her mom to tell her that that baby is so finite, and you will miss the sweet smallness one day.

    but YMMV

  8. Poor Scheana.  But her face after showing Brett’s current squeeze stills of the “music” (there’s no music) video she shot with Brett should be a gif.

    she’s in on the joke

    i mean, they are all vulgar and rude —I am so with Ariana on the easy insults and pointless put downs — so Scheana’s nails, hair and accent are no more laughable than the rest.

    (Sheet cake? How did these people work in an upscale LA restaurant and know nothing about food?)
     

    and Kristin — you go, girl.  Knew I was right about you!

  9. The call that Issa didn’t answer was from Trina, the pain the ass tenant with the mouthy kid.

     

    The reveal of Simone was a great visual gag.  No planning at all.

  10. I am truly curious about what Scheana is doing with the eggs and all.  I assume that she hopes to find a host to bear this child.

    Is that wrong of me?  She possesses sufficient funds to pay for these elaborate surgeries, with their attendant risks.  In that case, she undoubtedly possesses the resources to bear and care for a child.  Why not have a child?

      Spare you all the lecture.  Just seems absurd to this viewer.  Some idiot status symbol that is ill-thought out, like emerald lawns.

  11. Raquel told the truth when she said sober sex was better.  She implied that James was often impotent.

    I said before that everyone drinks too much to be having much sex.

    IIRC, last time it was mentioned as going on it was Jax and Brittany.  Trying to win her back, he was wooing her for morning and afternoon sex.  That was a year ago.

     

    maybe Stassi is getting it (but he drinks as well).  Kristin is always getting it.  Her men have no choice.  Woman’s a tiger.  IMHO, of course.

  12. Why did Brittany go unhazed by Weho witches?  For me, it is simple.  She is Jax’s girl and Jax is the alpha.  I recall (YMMV) that Stassi stayed with Jax because it assured that she was alpha female.  Her power in the group flowed from him.  When they split, she left the group.  In any event, Brittany is the woman to whom they all defer now.  As Jax’ mate, she is number one.  She handles it differently, but she can snap a whip.
    Recall that Jax slept with Kristen, in the most casual way, neither of them really even liking the other.  She liked having that over Stassi and it soiled Jax for Stassi.   I don’t think it would cross the either of the Toms’ mind to go after Jax’ girl.  As king, he has his pick.   But it was a conquest for Kristin, I am sure.  Wasn’t she the one that told?  Jax hardly remembered it.

     

    anyway, what I think.

    Both Katie and Brittney purchased their spec homes with the model furniture in it. Ariana and Tom have said they want to take their time and purchase furniture and accessories that mean something to them and show their own individual taste. How long that takes who the hell knows. Or maybe they're full of shit and can't afford nice furniture, after all their apartment was gross. 

    Stassi seems unhappy this season. Can't put my finger on it. I think she is over the show but knows she needs the check so she's putting up with filming. 

    Lala is awful. Sober or drunk. Makes no difference. Hate her and her stupid outfits and her ugly fiance who has pulled pranks on the movie sets of all "100" movies he's produced. Oh, wow, Lala, you are some hot stuff now!

    I don't care how wasted Schwartzie was when he said "No wonder I don't want to have sex with you" to Katie I believe he meant every word, the lack of sex was an issue before they married and is still an issue now. What a strange relationship they have.  

    These men do so much drinking that I doubt if any of them, in their late thirties, can perform in bed.

    odds are they just pass out most nights

  14. Jax seemed unhappy throughout the entire affair.  All he would say is “$100,000.”  Vulgar.  I wonder if his anger toward FI was displaced, because he cannot admit he hates Brittany for forcing this on him: expense, ceremony, marriage.

     

    all his touting “change and growth” is so much trying to convince himself.

     

     I wish I understood the necessity of excluding his mother and then feeling betrayed that she didn’t reach out.  Hard to imagine a set of circumstances where both things would be true.

    Luckily, his bride is as self-centered and delusional as he, so maybe they’ll make it work.  Every argument will begin with “$100,000,” tho.

    I took it at Susie being offended that Jeff was so ecstatic that she was leaving town, so she cancelled her plans.  Jeff would have to cancel his plans too, or else Susie would make him miserable upon return.  If he wanted to stay in her good graces, he'd stay and spend the time with her.

    I'm sad that I don't find Larry that inspired this season.  There is no major arc to the season, okay, except for Latte Larry's.  Like I mentioned before when I see him on talk shows he has one good idea after another that I think can be mined for great comedic situations.  But this season's episodes have overall been a letdown.

    Except didn’t she throw him out?  He was staying at Larry’s.  When did they reconcile?

     

    couple things:  coatracks are good for purses, even in LA

    this ep not as funny as last, which was crazy funny. When that red sauce landed on that beautiful white linen upholstered chair, I felt a physical pain.

    FWIW, I've known lots of Laura who say it like I do, including the other poster.  And believe me, I wish it were as easy as saying "pretend my name is spelled lara" to get the correct pronunciation.  And some of the Lauras you know may pronounce it the same way I do and are like me in that they don't bother correcting people over it.  I also don't bother to capitalize my name, which is also "wrong" but I don't care.  My cursive upper case Ls are crap.

    Weirdly enough, now I am questioning how to say Lauren Bacall and I don't know how to find video of her saying her own name.

    Swear to God, this was a plot point on VEEP.
