I think Lori is very good at marketing towards a very specific type of person. She's not edgy or ultra-creative or risky. She's savvy at gearing her stuff towards mainstream, middle America, QVC audience. Her people buy grocery products with names like "Bagel Stuffins", and go crazy for sponges or phone cases that look like teeny purses. And there's nothing wrong with that-- it's made her very successful-- it just means that if you aren't a mass market product with an eye towards mass market appeal, she's not the right partner.

You would think with all the braying Brandon does at people, there would be way more street violence in Beverly Hills. Specifically violence against Brandon.

I'm laughing way too hard at Dylan's wife beater tucked into his baggy light-colored jeans.

Sherri has said that about her son and his penis for years, referring to several different women that cause the reaction. What a mortifying mother.

I'm happy for them that they've managed to create a successful enough business, but the whole celebration of bullets just grosses me out. I hate the notion of "a bullet shell to open your beer" as the epitome of America.

There are lots of things I don't agree with Sunni Hostin about, but she was dead on today about stupid Stacy Dash and the trashy Sarah Palin and her offspring. I need to see more of THIS Sunni. And I was cringing when Paula tried to say that things like the BET Awards were divisive. Um, it wasn't the black community that started the racial divisiveness in our society, Paula. Also, Sarah Palin, if your son has PTSD, maybe his abusive episode is a great example of why those who have mental health issues shouldn't be able to have firearms. Just sayin'.

Those denim granny panties never were and will never be ok. How did no one stop that from happening?

She also wears hideous shoes all the time, but that's just my personal problem with Lori.

I think they gave the Iron Man clue money back to her because that question didn't make clear whether they wanted the actor's name or which Avenger he was. Since it was the first clue opened in that category, it was an easy misunderstanding to make. The category was "Avengers in other roles". That can easily sound like it's asking for the avenger name.

Sherri was excellent on 30 Rock. When roles are written well, she can deliver them. I find her non-acting role to be the most objectionable.

Honestly, as a 39-year-old woman, the lack of punctuation in Josh's texts would turn me off too much to date him. I can't deal with the illiterate text-speak crap.

These may have been the 4 dumbest businesses shown in one episode. The crowd funding app (that doesn't even exist yet) was nonsense; the silly baby scale was a way to take advantage of paranoid but wealthy parents who need to use their phones to track their baby's every movement; the beard bib Fixes a problem that could be solved if men would just clean up after themselves; and the ticket fixing app made no money. As a side note, I'm an attorney who ( in addition to other work) helps clients fight moving violation tickets. In those kinds of cases (at least in my state) an error on the face of the ticket isn't a defense at all, so the app wouldn't really do much for those. They should stick to their not-so-lucrative parking tickets.

Nancy Grace has been a garbage human ever since her days as an unethical Atlanta prosecutor. She's lucky that there are enough people in the world who like hearing terrible people rant on television.

Her food photos are the desperate cries of a woman with way too much time on her hands.

So these last 2 terrible seasons were part of their "plan"? I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they'd run out of ideas. If this was planned, that makes me sad.

It was double the money but for double the equity for Robert. If the business could receive the same money for less equity, that was worth finding out from a business perspective. We've heard entrepeneurs in the past who have been made offers of more money than they asked for, but for more equity than they wanted to give up, who have said they'd rather have less money and give away less equity. The HH guy could have felt the same way.

The way the Hungry Harvest segment went kind of irritated me on the entrepeneur's behalf. First, the Sharks gave him a hard time for doing basically too much charitable giving rather than prioritizing profit. And yet, when Robert made an offer, the Sharks got irritated that the owner wanted to hear out the other potential offers, which is exactly what a business-owner should want to do. He's running a business with a charity-component, not a charity or a non-profit. Let him try to do the best thing for his business rather than get offended that he didn't jump on Robert's seeming interest in the do-gooder component . Just because he wants to help the community doesn't mean he doesn't want to do what's best for his business.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed Scrub Daddy guy's gold scrub daddy necklace.

I think David's "music" was one of the pre-programmed beats on the Casio electric keyboard I had in the early 90s.

What a snoozer of a game. It felt really slow and quiet. I did laugh when the male contestant confidently shouted the "Damn the torpedos" answer and was wrong. The one moment of energy and it was a miss.

+1 for Donna being funny at that moment. The scene itself is the one moment of comedic gold in this series. TS's timing in response to "It's brains" is excellent.

Ah, you're right! I forgot about the time jump. I guess we assume she got a passport at some point?

From the recap: "I must have missed the part when Homeland told us that -- or how -- the BND knows Numan's real name is Gabe H. Coud" His real name wasn't Gabe H Cuod. That was the hacker name he used in the first episode when he got all the documents. It's DoucheBag spelled backwards.

So, a week ago, Brenda didn't have ID to get back across the border, but now she's able to get on a plane to leave the country on no notice?

I'm very relieved the tabloid reports of BW being inappropriate were false.
