Edit: Jen was the one that made that comment about spin the bottle. As much as I don't like her, I've got to give her credit when she comes up with a good zinger.

Even though it wasn't one of the major events on this episode, I have to remark on Heather's description of the four levels of heaven- too funny the way she described it! Even Jeffrey Dahmer has a higher position in the hereafter than Heather Gay! Don't worry, Heather, you can raise a glass of champagne here with the rest of us heathens.

Thank you for quoting this. To me it is unbelievable that a religious leader would talk to her congregation like that (reminds me of Jim Jones toward the end) and that the parishioners would stay around for more. I wonder if any of them saw the way she flaunted her wealth last season? They contributed to her outlandish spending and hording through the tithes they were required to make. If it were me, I would see the hypocrisy in what she is preaching vs the values of the original Christianity. It would be interesting to know if the exposure she received through this show led any of her flock to leave.

They are probably either too afraid of her to say anything or... this is their revenge on her atrocious behavior. I love what Heather said about Mary playing spin the bottle to see who she is angry with today. She's becoming more unhinged by the minute!

Mary is crazy and delusional. Her awful treatment of Whitney and her "prank" is probably just a small slice of what she does on the regular with her parishioners.

Just read an article about the reunion at the Daily Beast. There were some amazing lines in it. I’ll try to link it here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/erika-jaynes-angry-outbursts-during-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-reunion-did-her-no-favors?ref=scroll I laughed at this part: When she was forced to move out of her Pasadena mansion into an objectively gorgeous (and, by human standards, pricey) bungalow, she moped as if she was being cast to the streets. “I know what you make on this show. It ain’t bad,” Andy Cohen clapped back at the insinuation that she was destitute, just before she could gather her Little Orphan Annie wig and belt out a chorus of “Hard Knock Life.” .

I was wondering about Chigs' name when Jürgen made that comment, but I didn't know if it was a nickname or not. I really liked Chigs' glasses...even when they fogged up!

Speaking of making pacts, I 100% believe that the FF5 have made a pact to support each other, come hell or high water. There are so many indications of this throughout the last 3 seasons. One tiny example is during the reunion, when Erika is going on about how she is cooperating with the investigation (😒), Dorit chimes in with her comment and Rinna taps on her leg to shush her. It's like she is reminding her, "We've all agreed to have Erika's back, only facial expressions expressing surprise or sadness are allowed."

I love caramel, so even though there were a lot of similarities among the three challenges, my mouth was watering. I would have loved to try Chigs' signature bake, with the thick caramel and chocolate- sugar coma, here I come! I don't think it should matter how Lizzie's Showstopper looked inside the vase- the overall presentation was really great. It seems that the taste may not have been up to her usual levels. That was a close call. Every week, I think to myself, maybe this will be the week that Lizzie is excited about the theme. But, no! She views each of the baking themes as a challenge. Yet, she has done quite well, despite her worries. On the other hand, George has this great positivity about each bake, which hasn't always worked out in his favor. I was very happy that his Showstopper was so successful. Not only did he use sugar, a more difficult ingredient for the sugar work, but the taste and look were both loved by the judges.

I am on Pacific Time also, and on Xfinity. I can watch it at 6 pm and was able to join the live chat. I hope you can find it next time, because the live chat is a hoot! (One tip that may help is I searched for LAL via voice remote. When I went to WeTv channel, it was showing old episodes of Law and Order). Renata's comments made me smile tonight. She thinks Stan bought the wigs for Lisa because he felt her short haircut would attract other women. No, first of all, Lisa requested the wigs. And, most importantly, her atrocious extensions will turn off any potential lover, no matter the gender.

I've enjoyed snarking with you all! Enjoy the weekend!

Tonight on Dateline: Death at the Rock Wall, Murder or Accident?

The expressions on the rock wall guide's face are priceless!

Brittany's mom looks much better. Cat coming out of cupboard was cute.

I got to admit that Stan gets pretty tickled over the little things in his life. He doesn't exactly reach for the stars...

I wonder if Stan's night terrors include badly applied hair extensions?

Comb over siting, coming up after ad break!

Chon must have the same hairdresser as Chane.

Lacey is the one with the secrets!

Thank goodness Britney doesn't want to control Ray. Can you imagine what that would look like?

Why didn't I buy a bottle of Hennessy for tonight?

I think Stan would enjoy Renata and Lisa in bed together, as long as he could join in.

The producers are just trolling us now

"Those wigs are horrendous," says the lady with the neon pink hair.

Ray wants this restitution relationship.
