How in the heck can Joss verbally spar with any adults on this show? I understand SORASing, but, my Lord, isn't she only about 8 years old?

Help me out here - what exactly does Shannon's husband do for a living? My fiance' is a chef in a corporate cafeteria and starts the breakfast shift at 6a, so he's in bed by 9p every day. I start my day at 7:30a because I work a 10 hour day. We already know this going in and will adapt. So what is Shannon's husband doing that he needs to hit the hay at 8:30p?

The only thing that bugged me on the episode, seriously, was at the beginning when Savi's open house had ended and there was the potential customer that came through the door 'half an hour after the open house was over', Now, both the agent and the owner of the property are standing there, gossiping or whatever, when this guy comes in. A potential customer. Complimenting what little he's already seen of the house. The agent then proceeds to brush the guy off, saying he could call for an appointment because the OH is over. My son in law is a realtor (and in fact is getting out of the business) in the Northeast. The market is crappy. Customers are hard to come by, especially for the more expensive properties. And the agent doesn't drop everything and walk him through? Worst. Agent. Ever. And I would've fired her on the spot. In the RE business, you fight for every customer. Not blow them off like that. So that was the start of a downhill episode for me. The agent was written to be unprofessional and a disaster throughout - showing up unannounced at Savi's office with an offer the agent expected her to sign without having talked to her about it and then getting all huffy when it didn't get signed? Loser agent.

It was telling when Gretchen was on the slab and Slade fake-cried but didn't reach out to her like the others did. He doesn't care a whit about her. Seriously, she should cut her losses and find anyone else to be with. Slade is less than nothing. My opinion of him dates back to the early Orange County Housewives days. He is an opportunist of the worst kind and, given his treatment (or lack of it) of his sick son, Grayson, Slade is a poor excuse of a human being.

Bachelorette is doing some really strenuous product placement this season. First, the movie that led to the cooking sequence and, second, these hair product commercials with both Andi and a couple of former Bachelorettes. Not sure if anyone noticed that the hairstyle, which was nothing more than a trumped up ponytail and certainly not worth any huge endorsement, was the hairstyle she wore on a later date. Frankly, this is the deal with the show this season. It's almost becoming an infomercial anymore.

I was held hostage last night on Jet Blue (LOL!) to watching this show (of course, I could've changed the channel.....). Anyway, what I noticed was, at the height of the shrieking, Kandi's face. There was no registering of emotion. None. I'm beginning to think those of you who believe this drama is all staged are right. When she doesn't think anyone is watching, Kandi is entirely supportive of all of this. This is ratings. This show is on 19 times a week, it seems, to the exclusion of just about everything else on Bravo. This is money for her. So the more vile MJ is, the more income Kandi gets. It is disturbing.

Anyone waiting with bated breath as to how Jon deals with Eric Cantor's defeat last night? They've had a whole day to work on it. I bet it's beyond price.

I wasn't overly impressed with Ryan trying to intervene in one of the many fights between Clive and Tanisha. But I understood why he was doing it. Ryan is a professional fireman. At least he was when he met Trista and I have no information that says that has changed. As a public service employee, like police officers, he has probably been trained in defusing domestic situations. I think he may've been trying to use that training, but failed miserably not because he didn't know what he was doing, but that nothing less than electro-shock therapy would get Tanisha's attention.

Ubiquitous, This is how Mama Joyce plays the game: no one is going to do anything to her while the cameras are on her. Doesn't matter how vile she gets, she will always play the victim card, or any other card in that 'nutcase' deck she happens upon.

For me, this show is all about demonstrating how overwhelmed Kandi is by the people around her. She never learned how to deal with difficult people - it started with her mother and has worked its way into every relationship she's had. If she doesn't do something about her interpersonal skills soon, she will lose her business, which is apparently more important to her than anything. Todd should never have married Kandi until this nonsense was Joyce was put to an end, including the possibility of dismissing Joyce from Kandi's life. Joyce is the epitome of a bad mother - she is a bully, she is beyond reason and she has no concept of what it means to defend and protect anyone but herself. Kandi is a weak-willed individual, who continually glosses over all the drama and hostility going on around her. Not a person I would want in my life.

Insofar as the Shannon-Heather thing is concerned: I will be interested to see the reunion show to see if they replay all the 'scary-angry' scenes with Shannon, while Heather is forced to watch them and then defend her 'perception'. This could be gold, as the rest of the ladies sit there and either say nothing or say 'Heather, you've lost your mind'. I guess the only way Shannon could've been perceived as 'scary-angry' is her unfortunate tendency to widen her eyes when she's talking to someone, but her manner in no way constitutes 'scary-angry' and Heather needs to be schooled and then shut up about it. I wouldn't have been able to get through that conversation without becoming 'scary-angry' myself. It would no longer be subject to perception.

Did anyone notice in the interview at the end of the show with Chris H. and Andi that she NEVER really revealed her left hand? It was almost as though it had been glued to her thigh. She did gesture with her right hand/arm, but the left hand was never within camera range.

Welcome back, Ms. Chicklet. You've been missed!

I'm afraid I am already gone. I did tune in last week, when I was home, to watch a little of the Nurse's Ball. Glad they brought that back, I suppose, but what they really need to do is freshen up the entire genre by bringing in a head writer that has worked on the Latin Telenovelas genre. Tell a story that actually makes sense. I know we have enough stories on this show that could be instantly root-able, if they just didn't always involve someone dying, typically at the hands of the mob. I'm not interested in that. This is supposed to be a story-telling that is a respite from the world at hand. I don't see anything on this or on TWOP that seriously convinces me that I'm wrong about this.

General consensus was, there is a massive amount of re-editing going on because some of the storylines are so bad they want to change them up to be a little more palatable before they lose more audience than they have with this franchise. Last night, they showed the 100th episode with all the participants being interviewed as to how the show affected their lives, including the kids who all agreed they were heinous on the show and how the blowback regarding their behavior on the show has been pretty horrendous. Examples - when Shane (I think that's the kid's name) was on the baseball team and treated Jeana so badly when she came to see him play - the entire baseball team got hate mail after that episode, including patrons saying as long as he was playing for them, they wouldn't be back to support the team. He's no longer playing baseball, but is an 'actor'. Please.

I was disappointed that she kept the lunkhead. I was also late to the episode by about 10 minutes, so I missed the intro and how they handled Eric. Such a shame, he seemed a really great guy.

Heather has more than lost my vote as a sympathetic character with her behavior tonight toward Shannon. This show is threatening to go down the constant argument route that Atlanta has taken.

I tried getting re-engaged with this show, but after the Nurses' ball last year, I found myself not giving two rats for any of the characters. They've destroyed most of the folks, continue to nominate Sonny and Carly for sainthood (together or apart). I can't root for anyone because, the moment I do, they get written out of the show or, worse, get re-written to a totally unsympathetic and/or unrealistic character. The move-in and domination of OLTL actors really just was the last straw. If I know something specific that I'm interested is going to happen, I may watch a single episode, but it has long since left my must-see list of programs to watch.

No opinion on the replacement of Josh with Michael Strahan? I just don't know how well this is going to work.

I'm one of those viewers who often show up for the last episode of something based on the hype. It wasn't too hard to piece everything together, and I loved the scene with Barney talking to his daughter for the first time and using his pick-up line on her. Very touching. But there was one thing that was clearly an inside idea that I couldn't figure out: in the final scene, when he's standing outside the apartment, he holds up a blue french horn. It's gotta have some significance. Anyone??

We are all so concerned about not hurting anyone's feelings, along with searching for that 'gotcha' moment, that satire will soon be a lost cause in this country. Sadly, Friday night at 7 eastern, there should've been re-broadcasts for both Daily Show and Colbert Report. Instead, they showed endless repeats of Tosh 2.0. Have to wonder where this will go in the interest of smoothing the ruffled feathers.

Blurb in the news here in South Florida this morning that JP was out at a bar or restaurant on Saturday night, saw him, walked up to him, cussed him out and threw her drink in his face. Yep, very popular guy,
