I'm all for a "runaway groom" storyline right about now...

Lindsay only talked with Daonte because she saw a way to continue on this show. Daonte is clueless.

Bye, Lindsay. Unless you end up back in jail or dating a prisoner, you don't need to be on our tv anymore.

Understatement of the year!!!

I'm still trying to figure out how Britt and Marc's storyline gets resolved. Maybe he was looking at all those p**** pics and talking to the high class call girl is because he wants to surprise Britt with reconstructive surgery in her nether regions.

Wow! We typed that at the same time!

I noticed that the person who performed the marriage ceremony for Shawn and Sara had a copy of Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the Places We'll Go." Hmm... had to find something everyone could "get?"

Hi Bunkies, My new website is up and running. Unfortunately my mark husband got wind of it and served me divorce papers. Need you all to snark with me and cheer me up...

LOL. When an episode makes us crave seeing a Brooks Marks tracksuit, you know things have gone too far!

I had a feeling when she mentioned that she was using "essence," the judges would not enjoy the taste. I personally LOVE fresh watermelon, but have never been impressed with anything labeled "watermelon flavored," no matter what it is. I think that flavor must be very difficult to replicate in recipes or products; it is so fresh, yet subtle. Then, Syrabira used another melon flavor in her showstopper, but this time, the flavor was not strong enough. I like her originality, but I was actually trying to tell her (through the tv screen) to use passionfruit-- remember how all the bakers used to add that to almost every bake and the judges loved it?

Yes, it doesn't make any sense that Heather got so worked up over that, or that Whitney was doubling down, insisting that Heather had heard the statement. Was it the alcohol interfering with common sense or was it staged?

The thing about that segment which was most uncomfortable to me was the way the show was comparing the horrible bot attack on Jax to calling Rinna a beast. There is no comparison to what was done to Jax to nasty comments to the HWs. Also, the snark here is not the same as going to the individual's social media page and directly insulting them or spewing hate or violence there. Some of these women are so despicable (Rinna, Erika, Diana), they deserve to be scolded, but they are often protected by the other housewives, so I'm glad we have this forum to express our frustration.

That's because Kyle was involved in some of those take downs. She won't betray her co-conspirators. That's why this Kathy gang up is so troubling to her. She has to support her mean girl alliance, but wants to maintain enough of a relationship with Kathy that she won't boycott Farrah's wedding.

Things Dorit brought to the show this year: 1. Robbery and subsequent trauma 2. Adorable kid interactions 3. The "chic" scene 4. The enduring term, "Homeless, not Toothless" This has been more than she has brought in the past (modeling borrowed designer labels and glam hair), but I would rather see her in a "friend" role. Maybe she can whip up some martial drama to keep her diamond...

Is Kyle afraid Crystal will claim her crown of Overdramatic Housewife? I can't believe how Kyle comes after her. It's all so ridiculous because Kyle is the biggest drama queen. On WWHL, Andy asked Kyle some viewer questions and they were very good ones! She had to admit to some poor behavior and choices.

I'm not a fan of the lingerie parties. Even though I don't care for Lisa Barlow, I appreciated her pjs. I don't think I could be comfortable hanging out with my friends in skimpy underwear.

She's sent dozens of these things to every podcaster and journalist who ever mentioned her and she still doesn't know what they are called!

I completely agree that he was put into a terrible situation (drama designed by production) and was behind from the start. The first dinner's mishaps weren't his fault and I felt bad for him. I'm worried about his reaction to the next charter's preference sheet.

This is so perfectly stated. Thank you!

This is very confusing to me, since Crystal did share this scenario on the show several weeks ago. I don't know if it was on a deleted scenes episode or the regular one, but she specifically mentioned that she told Rinna to go ahead and take Kathy home, since the coat check was taking forever. So, why is Rinna accusing her of omitting information?

This stood out for me when she was discussing how she is the primary breadwinner. However, once Charisse described how. much money went to the lawyers in her divorce, a pre-nup doesn't sound like such a bad idea!

So, what's up with Culver? Is he homesick? It wasn't really explained and I'm confused. I wonder if Production told him they need more drama now that Ryan and Magda went home. Nate needs to get it together. He is a nervous wreck. I wouldn't want Captain Jason to hang around the kitchen all the time while I am trying to find my bearings- wouldn't help with the anxiety, but he is now freaking out over a preference sheet. Most competent chefs would either complain a bit and get to work or take it as a challenge. (Ryan would have criticized the guests and had a nap. 😉)

If it weren't for Nat, nothing on the interior would get done at all. She is constantly cleaning, doing laundry, working on tablescapes and when she actually gets to go on an excursion, the other two can't be bothered to clean one room! If roles were reversed, Nat would have made sure the room was cleaned up and if not, I'm sure Tash would have been upset with her. I think Nat is getting frustrated over the lack of work ethic on the part of the other two, as well as Tash's poor managerial skills. They need to have a meeting where she calmly states her grievances (where do we put all the extra provisions-- or maybe someone else is responsible for finding cubby holes for an enormous supply of beverages.)

I laughed so hard at the closed captioning here: https://imgur.com/a/kkRGgtz sorry, I tried to upload the photo, but the file was too large and I don’t know how to change the size.

She was throwing shade right and left, which is a lot more honest than her usual "keep sweet" comments and then manipulating everything behind the scenes. I was extremely agitated when she kept commenting about how this family moment is so great, and is worth fighting for. SHE is the only one with a functioning marriage and her kids are the only ones with a present father figure, so SHE doesn't get to say how great things are right now.
