Chantel, you have been married 5 years. If Pedro was scamming you for the green card HE WOULD HAVE DUMPED YOUR ASS 3 YEARS AGO!!! There is no way he would have put up with all the shit from her family if he was running a scam.

I THINK she meant to say #A blind person put this outfit together and told me it would look REALLY good against a sofa and pillows that clash with everything and of course I believed them because who knows fashion better than a blind person. (Sorry for all the spaces, I know that's not how a Brown does a hashtag, but I just couldn't do it.)

I agree. Mariah does so many other snark-worthy things in her life that we really shouldn't be running her down for achieving something.

Depending on how hungry they are (and not knowing if Annie even likes them) that's pretty good. I would have to be absolutely STARVING to get through more than 3/4 of one.

And then said "But she looks good"🤣

I was just going to ask that! Was it People's Fries? Absolutely NO excuse for instant mashed potatoes.

Like the rest of you, I was very disappointed by the lack of flashbacks. Spending a few extra dollars would have been well justified to satisfy the many long time viewers of DOL. Back to today. So Ben has simply been sitting in the same room for 2(?) days now? I get they don't have money for sets but at least have Eve bring him in for some reason. And now, they can't even afford to buy the guy a jumpsuit? Let's a least try a little show! Yes, NOTHING could POSSIBLY go wrong with Tripp and Ciara's plan. Ciara says she'll be careful but what does that even mean? How about enlisting JJ's help and have him in the background as back-up? I know they don't want to spill the plan to Marlena, but how about giving her a heads up her granddaughter is batshit crazy and seeing if she could intervene in some way? All they have to do is tell her Ben recognized the ring tone and let Marlena figure it out from there.

I'm pretty sure the "stupid Americans" came after Pedro told his mother about the pre-nup. Since all of us logical people are assuming that Chantel wouldn't be doing this shit show if she was actually sitting on a sack of money his family insisting on a pre-nup does come across as rather insulting to Pedro. It implies that he is ONLY after money and will contribute nothing to their marriage.

Thanks TabbyGirl. I'm thinking ebony for maximum impact. Or possibly dip the sponges in indelible ink?

Chantel and Nicole could be going to a nunnery but if they thought they were going to run in to each other (and have even the slightest opportunity to one-up the other) they would both be pulling out the "sexiest" thing they could find. Nicole ONLY wore that outfit to bother Chantel, and it worked. Point Nicole.

Yes, the ability to consistently turn out garnish really has nothing to do with being a great cook.

Maybe this has been discussed in other seasons, if so, I apologize for the retread. I've always hated these herd cooking challenges. Unless you are planning to put out "The Ultimate Cookbook for Every Church Barbecue Ever" I truly do not see what being able to get a bunch of other people to cook large quantities of food has to do with being considered a MasterChef. If this is the standard, every floor manager at McDonalds should be in the running. How does the fact that someone ELSE can't cook a burger make you a bad cook? How does the fact that you can't "lead" them to cook better matter at all? If I think you make the most delicious pork chops ever, I'm NOT really going to think you are a worse cook than someone who managed to turn out 50 mediocre portions of chicken, even if all you did for the challenge was cut the vegetables.

I thought I read the producers said they had a lot of Caroline on tape so I was somewhat disappointed that they really only used the speech from Will and Sonny's wedding. They could have gotten a few more audio clips and had Caroline give a few loving messages rather than Will just saying Great Grandma said it wasn't my time. It felt a little flat to me. The last scene with Roman and Kayla was just so heartbreaking. You really felt they had just found out someone they loved at passed. Best scene in the episode.

Again with the ill fitting shirts. The sleeves make her arms look huge. I'm guessing when she stands up it will be tight in the bust and have that weird loose waist thing.

I thought we could jump start or push start them as appropriate. Unless someone wants to come with their flatbed?

Speaking of cars, we'll all obviously have to drive separately so no one who lives in the area (or has guests) can actually find a place to park. I'm thinking that instead of regular rentals we could go to rent-a-wreck and HOPE we get the cars that leak various fluids leaving puddles in front of Lizzie's.

BUT, it took Tripp all of about 5 minutes to come to the realization that Claire is batshit crazy. Ciara at least has had a little time to absorb it. Shouldn't he have said no way, then have Claire walk in and do something that makes him suspicious? First they drag this story out for approximately 14 1/2 years and then suddenly they can't give it two beats to make sense?

But that only works after two years, otherwise Pedro would have needed to find a reason to be allowed to stay in the US so it would still have to be a long con.

They don't need to. She's legally on the hook for his support in the US for the next ten years, unless I'm not understanding the process correctly. She is only on the hook if Pedro used social services - which he probably would NOT be eligible for. (Getting welfare is not as easy as some people assume.) So yes, if this was all a scam to harvest the American Dollars they would all be sweet as pie to Chantel. They would want her to think they all adore her and get her invested in their welfare. If the plan was to simply get Pedro in to the US so he could work and send money back you better believe he would have dumped Chantel's ass the moment he got his permanent status (I don't believe he is really so dumb he didn't know he could still stay in the US if they get divorced at this point.)

Since I'm naturally blonde and don't actually have eyebrows to begin with I can go really creative with the eyebrows! I'm thinking permanent quilt marking pen.

Oh, that's even better! Life sized animal cake! That we can all randomly attack with our forks! Can I put rainbow laces with my dirty clumpy boots? I'm worried queer white would coordinate too much.

I'm amazed none of the kids on this show are hugely overweight. Every time they want to get rid of one of them, they send them away for cookies, ice cream, donuts, or some assorted sugar bomb. Why can't they, even once, say something like "Now how about we go work on that puzzle, or even, how about we go play trucks?"

Oh, at first I thought you called dibs on my favorite. In the bottom left corner are cartoon tigers(?) and bears. What 63 year old woman wouldn't want her ass covered in cartoon bears? And since we're being all "edgy" and fashionable I'm thinking I could wear the heritage dress the poor didn't want over the leggings - a la Lulano. But you forgot hats. Don't we need hats? And stick on nails? My ESA is my cat Daisy. She hates everyone and will pretty much spend the entire time curled up in a hissing ball of hate. She's so sweet! For food, how about adding some Frito Fruckies. If we have them write our mission statement on the cake it will be really big and really expensive because of all the writing. Does that help?

THIS. Tiffany said Daniel spontaneously started calling Ronald "dad." How pathetic is it that the kid is so starved for ANY male attention that he'll just call some random person he's never met "dad"? And while she mouths the right words that she won't go through with it if the Daniel and Ronald don't "click" I don't believe for a second she means it. This.

I'm pretty sure if you post bond for someone you have to post the entire thing - the whole $1,000 which I'm guessing Colt didn't have. The reason people use bail bondsmen is because they only have to come up with 10% of the money (so if someone's bail was 50,000 you would only need to come up with 5,000. The reason Mr. Tony got to keep the money was because he was assuming the risk Larissa would show up for her court dates. If she didn't and he couldn't find her, he would have to pay the entire 1,000 and never get it back.
