Just saw an episode last night (a rerun?) in which the young wife "playfully" called her young husband "Princess" throughout. Wh-a-a-a-a-at???? Can This Marriage Be Saved? (Answer: No.)

Yep, I watched it. Came away kind of mixed up. I have always liked Stacy but I kind of hate LLorR in general because there is just no way those women are real. Yet from the Stacy Special I got how sincere she is -- actually how sincere the whole crew seems to be. Yet they are producing this clown show. I don't get it but then again this is TLC so they kind of have to be outrageous.

I liked Eddie from the get-go and I'm glad he won but clearly the main reason he won is that He Fit The Suit. Jay was too big; Dom was too small. Eddie is just riiiiight. He's the Johnny Bravo of the Food Network.

What's Spanish for Pill Who Never Shuts Up? Ay, this woman who took time out from bitching and complaining to move from Newton MA to Guatemala with her husband and three kids!!

Hey, lady: anyone who describes themselves as "edgy" is automatically not. "I know you already have a Sandwich King but I don't care." Really, what comment needs to be made? On the positive side: So far, nobody has invoked a dead relative.

Kingsley's new name: Kingsley. (Because gin-soaked raisin Kim can't remember what his old name was.)

I believe this is the correct place for me to vent my feelings about Ree: 1. I can't stand her voice. 2. I can't stand her awful hair. 3. (Yes this is mean but) I can't stand her face. 4. Never stuck around long enough to consider any of her recipes because of items 1, 2, and 3. 5. But mostly her voice! 6. No, her hair. That awful hair. 7. Voice + Hair + Face. 8. And yet there she is with a gazillion dollars and here I am with not.

For the love of God, Kim and Kyle, would you please please please please please stop beating the dead horse known as You Stole My House. Jeeeeekers I cannot believe Kim dragged that up again. Aaaaargh. It used to be funny but it's not even funny anymore.

Oh, Stacy, you deserve better. I do not Love this show. I Lust for a better show for you. Run, Stacy, Run!!!!

Poor Stacy. I like her so much but this thing is soooo contrived. And what is UP with the lighting? Or maybe I mean the makeup. In the episode with the 50-something punk rocker, the participant was YELLOW. So was Stacy, but the punk rocker was freaky yellow. At the big reveal at the end she put her hand up to her face and her hand was normal-colored but her face was yellow. Who is doing the makeup???? Maybe yellow is Pantone's Face Color of 2015 and nobody told me.

Lisa Edelstein should get extra pay for that horrible dancing-in-her-underwear scene. Could that have BEEN more unflattering? And to think it was done in the service of this lameness. She deserves better. I gave up about halfway through. Hate the galpals. Hate the brother. Meh on the ex-husband. Unbelievable about the ex and the actress hottie. zzzzzzz

Ohhhhh .... THAT explains it. I couldn't figure that one out. Thank you!

She seems to think she's awfully cute.

I hate to go all Heather on you, but actually she was implying, not inferring. (Sorry! Pet peeve of mine)

In my dream world, Heather says Shannon is "pugilistic" and Shannon and David look at each other, look back at Heather, look back at each other, start laughing, and can't stop. "Pugilistic?? PugiLIStic????" They laugh and howl and weep. They bang on the table. They fall out of their chairs laughing. Even Stoner Boy is laughing. Tamra is laughing even though she doesn't know why and even though she can't actually laugh anymore thanks to all her surgeries. Everyone is laughing at what an unbelievably stupid remark that is. And there sit Heather and Terry, scowling hate-rays out of their creepy little eyes. Finally Terry pipes up "Yeah, and you're a PENIS, too!!!" and that just does it. The fourth wall is broken as EVERYONE on set collapses in helpless fits of laughter. Production is shut down for the night, thank God. Terry and Heather leave and everybody else just has a nice party.

I thought I was the only one cringing at that. That really should have been edited out just in case there were other 12-year-olds like me out there watching. I have to admit I was amused when Marcela corrected Zakarian on the meaning of [the Spanish word I can't remember] that he said meant "millions" and she told him meant "thousands." And she corrected somebody else's lousy pronunciation of another word. I'm all for that. People want to throw around Spanish or Italian or French words, let 'em know how to say them properly and what they mean!

I have enjoyed the couple of episodes of Barbecue Addiction (or whatever the new Bobby Flay show is) I have caught but I am a little tired of every recipe magically including Greek yogurt. Hmmm gosh wonder why Bobby never used Greek yogurt all the time before???

I've seen the promo a couple of times and it includes the chilling words "this year with even MORE emotion!" (or something like that) accompanied by footage of one of the contestants crying. Oh, geez. Gack. That means that Medusa and The Frog are going to be goosing the contestants into more frequent, more humiliating sob-sessions about their dead relatives. Really, why don't they have them pose for promo pictures clutching photos of the dead relatives whose backs they're going to try to ride to stardom. Yuck. (And also YAY!)

copacabana, I wish you well!
