It is flat out INSULTING & IMO BLASPHEMY Paige & Chris during that "Bible study." Sorry but anyone familiar with any sense of Christianity knows that these two & this show itself has ZERO to do with it. Hey I'm over here snarking shows too so who am I to talk? but just the same, these 2 are just LOW bringing God or Bible into any of it.

I agree. It's now a "fitness goal" to have that plumpy rear. Good for the gals that have one naturally but that ain't me & I'll be darned if now or closer to age 50, I'd be PAYING for one! This past year, I've begun working out regularly. I've done squats, jump squats, squat jump switches within an inch of my life. My knees are starting to turn on me & getting noisy & painful. That said, if you got it, you got it. If not, you don't. I'll say one thing- fitness wise, you DO want to work the "posterior chain," which will ultimately take stress off your back & knees. I never knew how important a strong butt is. But to look like an apple ass in jeans, it shouldn't be the be-all/end all. Surprising how Delores dresses usually kinda 50's inspired retro & altogether conservatively considering the sex vixen body she's been paying for. She looks to usually wear tablecloths around her waist. But the bikini was other-worldly!

How to "grow with Gorga": Enter business dealings with people who have ACTUAL careers & only do so verbally so you collect $ and never actually pay them. ...got it! What scum bags.

Not really seeing anything interesting going on here. The COVID drama is quite annoying since we've been through it and are still in many cases going through it for the most part. It's not "good tv" seeing symptomatic folks getting evacuated off the boat and possible infected employees🙄 No...for my more sophisticated palate, I'll need more than female makeouts and spring break type partying. I mean is this MTV or Bravo?!

YES!!! Totally this!! Or see also Tim Malcolm of 90 day fiance fame. Both of whom I feel better about than Erik the pilot.

I enjoyed this episode overall. There were some pieces I didn't enjoy...like: People carrying newborns around like they're footballs. Apart from the old carseats of the 70s or 80s, the click-in ones need to be in the hospital for you to put baby in and the staff needs to see you insert baby to carseat & buckle them. Then, get to the car, snap the seat into base & go. I felt like there was so much carrying around of infants but maybe it was just me. Also, Madison wearing a turtleneck didn't jive. Skin-to-skin contact between mom & newborn is key and if breastfeeding, you go for breastfeeding-friendly clothing options that open easily or are wrap-tops. Idk why but those details just get to me. Even first-time moms know this in the age of internet. Nevermind "celebrity" moms-to-be. Glad that they touched on how pivotal and emotional it can be for adopted children to one day have their own biological child(ren). I always wondered when they'd touch on that with Randall. As Randall-saturated this show is, I waited for that to be taken on. Interesting however at the end, when Deja was the one that seemed closest to Randall for that extra hug than even his own bio daughters. At first, I thought that the woman driving Deja home from residency was Malik's daughter all grown up instead of Annie. I'm not going to hate on Randall for wanting a 3rd child immediately either. Jack's ride home from hospital was cringey. It most closely paralelled Kevin's. I think they try to point out constantly that unbeknownst to Kevin or any of them, Jack & Kev share the most in common personality-wise. That's the thing- no one may ever really know. It can be the case with any one of us in real life.

I like the chef. She's down to earth but with self-respect. She's got a good personality. As to the pita debate, instead of saying "no way that was 20 pitas," as chief stew, you can just say "hey! I know, right?! You must've made them SO GOOD because still, they're asking for more...so can I tell them they'll be out in 10 min?" That's all! No need for back & forth IMO. The Deckhand smooching Gary was so annoying that they kept putting towels, sheets, blankets, anything they could find over their heads. Like- really. Why keep hiding under something? Just go in your cabin or quit making out! As though we all don't know what's going on!

Jackie's janky extensions!!!! NOOO! MAKE IT STOP! The hair was better in the talking heads right at shoulder length. I don't understand why people do these looong (single-length) extensions when the natural hair is cut in a bob. Additionally, I thought extensions were left with pop culture icons circa 2003. Are we still doing these?

Seriously! Six week early twins?! I had 4 week early twins & they were in the hospital for 2 weeks on feeding tubes because they couldn't eat on their own. Their weight was meticulously reported every day as we waited to see if they gained weight yet. Leaving the hospital without them was the worst experience of my life.

This is what I'm saying! Like, at least with someone like your son or Jake, anyone would have a sense of what to buy them for a gift if we had to. They'd likely graciously accept it even if it weren't their favorite star wars hero or 80's brand/music, etc. Haley??? Umm...what is she even into? I have a feeling that you'd get her a pricey contemporary item of clothing or decor & she would find a way to eyeroll that too because it's "not her style" or not her brand etc. I know I'll get heat for my assumptions about her but...I can't stand an obvious eye-roller. Seen her do that sarcastic face & some eyerolls that helped me form my opinion on what type of person she really is.

If this is going to be another season of Tree trying to take down Melissa & dismantle her marriage, I'm NOT here for it. I'm not saying I'm a fan of Melissa but she's a titch better than Tree in the not being too malicious area. I'm enjoying Jennifer finally. I've always enjoyed Marge but yes she's tacky. And Delores is a treat. I enjoy seeing the dynamic of her, the kids, David & Frank. Her mom is so sweet! I'm jealous. She has time and love and energy for ALL grandkids. She's equally obsessed with them all. I've never experienced that. Even the love for Delores- you can see an adult mutual respect friendship now between mother & daughter. Jackie is hitting out of her league. I wouldn't mind her leaving. She doesn't add much value for me. Tree should retire too.

Yes! & Where is Marge's house assistant?!? Marleney? She always had her. Now she ran around saying she's sweating from serving these women & there was this inexplicable absence of Marleney. Did I miss something? Did she retire? Was she absent due to COVID? & Marge must not be used to serving people- she was making cold brew glass-by-glass somehow. She should've brought a pitcher on a serving tray with creamer & sugar on the side then glasses and those straws on a table and everyone could've even self-served & made it to their liking. The running back and forth was nonsense. All the while the camera showing tons of luggage piling up outside in the rain. It was a very disorganized convening.

LoL! Seriously! Being from NJ, I saw two of them. At a friend's wedding at the Brownstone, I saw Christopher Manzo. He kind of came in & looked around (I guess in a supervisory capacity to ensure the event was running smoothly?). Then a few years later, I saw Kathy's husband Richie at Bottle King in Wayne. We made eye contact in an aisle & I had no idea where the FREAK I knew him from! I told my husband "I know that guy but idk where from? Maybe he used to work in my building?" LoL..then I saw the yellow Ferrari(?) in the parking lot & several minutes later I realized where I knew him from. I like to see episodes & try to guess at where they are in relation to places I know. But they're getting further & further away from anywhere I know like Wayne or anywhere in the vicinity. I don't even know where Tenafly is??

I couldn't manage a screenshot of it but at the tail end of "pastor" Cal's meet with Haley & Jake, it was the generic "youre going to have to give this a chance and influence each other (AKA "Balance each other out" BS)" & while cringingly nodding in agreement, teeth clenched, Haley did an obvious closed-eyed eyeroll. She is a snob. Won't like her EVER. Cal did nothing to question Haley. But in fairness, Jake was classy by putting it on his own "past issues" & not throwing her under the bus with how she treated him. I like him. The 80s had some good music & iconic style etc. There's a reason people have 80s theme parties. It's not because of drugs, aids, the cold war or suicidal businessmen. I get it. They need to cut bait. VA & Erik - I have no words for them. Everyone said it all.

I have a "BFF" who does this to me. She's a mind f. Good thing I met my husband & with his unmistakable astuteness, he also noticed & confirmed that she DOES do this to me constantly. She enjoys doing it in front of my husband and also has done it in front of my prior boyfriend as well. I also believe saying "that's *so* 【insert name here]" is an unkind sentiment. That said, I don't think Briana meant hurt by it. I think she was a little irritated about the spill as she's a neat freak. She was probably venting and that happens with OCD. Vincent is ok. But his spilling champagne and somewhat insecure persona is not my biggest red flag. My red flag is that he pretty much came right out & previously stated he would need her financial support while trying his hand at his vehicle broker business. If I'm not mistaken. All-in-all though, if he can be strong financially & not give her an edge like that & have an excuse to cut him down, they may be ok.

LoL! I said the same! Like I usually say about people like that- "if you stuck a lump of coal up her ass, you'd get a diamond in maybe 20 minutes." Jacob had sex with her and now [gasp!] wants to HOLD HER HAND!!!....She's "trying to get there"??!! Oh girl, please! I don't think my husband has EVER held my hand in my life lol. My version of a romantic dream about my celebrity crush or whatever is always that he's holding my hand 🤣 🤷‍♀️

If you want to be as drunk as Virginia, you'll take a sip every time Chris says "you know what I'm sayin" mid-sentence. I can hardly focus on ANYTHING he's "sayin" with the nonstop mumbling and quiet talk.

Yeah I wasn't sure if we could reference WWHL on here RE: The episode/season. I find Andy to be super one-sided. He was blasting major haterade onto Ashling. Ok- even if Elizabeth is a simpleton, airhead & rube- even if she is all those things & doesn't have a mean bone in her body- she KNOWINGLY causes others to pick up her slack & work extra hard because of her ways. She's the last one who should've taken on a boatmance because it jammed the cog in the already rusty & slow-turning wheels of her brain. Ashling had every right to be upset. Andy has such a hardon for the least deserving individuals across nearly all franchises. Ashling wasn't being "fake" & I don't feel she "trashed" Elizabeth constantly, unfairly, or viciously.

Agreed this is was much more entertaining & authentic than the actual season footage. It showed actual connections & friendships the cast has. I hope they model future seasons after these types of interactions. Danni was interesting in and of herself which was surprising. I remember the broken engagement. Surprising she got to keep the ring but hey- good for her! Only discrepancy was I distinctly remember a lunch she had with her mom a few seasons back where the mom offered to pay for eggs freezing. I read an article not long ago and was shocked how actually lower than you would think the storage cost is. I imagine the eggs extraction portion is the costly part. Idk. Just guessing here.

I was getting a schadenfreude feeling from Virginia & Erik during that. They want to be the #1 "successful" couple maybe? They joked about it at breakfast. It came across very immature. Were they hammered there? Anyone saying "I got you. Anything you need, just let us know." Wtf would a couple in the same situation as you (basically) "need" from you??! Not defending Chris or anything here. But that scene was cringeworthy. The other couples had great & appropriate responses. Erik & Virginia...wtf?

💯

Popping in to say... Ryan is like MY guy. "He can go by 'rocket man'." How did Clara not laugh at that? Very personally speaking, I'd not say "no" to the religion thing with kids & I'd not say "no" to Elton. It's a unique name & it seemed special to Ryan. I'd sooner say "no" to Vera for a girl. I agree dolphins shouldn't be held in captivity for human viewing pleasure. Poor creatures😪 Warning signs for Erik & Virginia. He's stringent. He's fathering her in a way. Buuuut- maybe she will grow up a tad. I kind of grew in that way with my husband. He's not like Erik but he's always been the less naive one (shall I say?). Poor Briana is like the emotional storage bin on her honeymoon. Between the grandmother heart attack & now *this* from Paige. But Paige is so deceived here. She's right! It's not adding up. Run, Paige! RUN!! Use those track running skills from high school & get going. I'll be mad if she doesn't. Chris is dumb as HELL! I've said this before & it bears repeating. Good advice from Briana & her husband (forgot his name). Can Haley PLEASE please please develop a personality?! Like any time would be good. I don't care how awkward Jacob comes across- he at least exists. He probably has more enthusiastic convos with the shower curtain than with Haley. He needed a partner with an outgoing nature to at least engage him. Sometimes I feel like he is in on the joke with the way he is. I feel he's trying to have fun. ETA: Erik has my full attention now. I'm on board with him 100%. also just realizing we have a flight attendant AND a pilot on this season.

Not to say Kathryn was owed an apology per se but nobody indicated feeling bad or wrong in any way for doubting her relationship with Chleb. I mean, now, it DOES seem more sincere/believable. If he gets on next season, I'd watch and that relationship would speak for itself if it's authentic which I suspect it is. Shep was giving the diplomatic answer when he said "go out & vote & that's how you can make changes." He treads lightly here. He knows where his bread is buttered and doesn't want to make waves. He loves making $$ for doing nothing.

I wonder what Danni has & wish she would come out with it. Could it be early onset Parkinson's? I don't know why she was there? Nothing was even directed at her in any way, whatsoever. Odd. Thought Andy would throw her a bone but just threw her a pity invite it seems. I don't see this vicious "mean/monster" in Madison that everyone seems to despise. She's just extremely direct, as I see it. Sometimes you need to be blunt to cut the connection with someone & move on. Austen "crying" though was as fake as they come. He did the thing I hate where people rub their eyes and cover their entire face with their hands. Nobody really has the need to jab hands into their eyes if really crying. Surprised how calm Kathryn came across even after yelling & going off. Everyone bores me so idk if I'll continue watching this show when it returns.

All. Of. This. I was 🤣
