@Bastet, the only good thing about having older brothers is that I always had somebody to buy alcohol for me. When I was around 12 or 13, my brothers figured out that if they made me do all of the bad stuff they did, I couldn't tattle on them. I did meth when I was 13, I got so drunk at 14 that I passed out on a stranger's front porch and at 12 I smoked my first cigarette. With them around I'm surprised I'm still alive and have never had to go to rehab. My friend and I (I've mentioned my psycho friend that I just can't quit) walked to school together alone from kindergarten all through high school. We always told our parents that we took the same, safe route every day and never talked to strangers. Yeah right. In middle school, instead of walking across the overpass we would run across an eight lane freeway, often getting stuck on the divider because there was so much traffic. Edit- I forgot that one day we were walking to middle school and a man drove by us with his briefcase on top of his car, we yelled at him and told him. He stopped and said that he had to get to work but if we met him at the park the next morning he would bring us donuts for telling him. We met him in the park the next morning. Looking back, we're lucky all we got was donuts. This friend and I met the summer before kindergarten and we're 51 now. I could fill up a couple of pages with the crazy, stupid, dangerous (awesome, fun memorable) things we did together. That's why as psycho as she's become, I just can't shut her out of my life.

I had never heard of Action Park until your post. I googled it and have been reading about it. Yikes!! Why would anybody go there?! I don't have much to add here, I did the standing up in the front seat on the freeway thing, we rode in the back of a pickup, again on the freeway and we stayed outside all day long. I actually don't think its any more dangerous to let kids play outside all day now than it used to be. Stranger abductions aren't happening more now than in the old days, its just with instant 24 hour news we hear a lot more about them than we used to. The only problem now with letting kids play outside all day is that people will call the cops on you for not having your special snowflake in your line of vision constantly. We didn't have childhood obesity when I was a kid, maybe one or two kids were chubby but not like it is today and that's because we played outside, ran around, rode bikes and got plenty of exercise doing it. I go with my daughter to pick up the grandkids at school sometimes and I'm shocked that almost every other kid is obese. People are even removing walls in their homes now so that they can see little Jr 24 hours a day.

The more I watch the more I'm convinced that Everett practices his brooding intense war vet look in the mirror. I hate laughing because he is a war vet but the look and the voice are just so fake to me. Did not married twin really say that married twin was "literally dying" when she was in the hospital for a sprained ankle? I heard it when she was on the phone from the hospital talking to Karl. I can't believe the summer goal of not married twin was to find a guy and be on the way to dating him, she sounds like she's 13 years old. From the look of it, she doesn't care what kind of guy it is, as long as its a guy, Karl has made it pretty clear what kind of guy he is. She seems pretty desperate. I wonder how long before she moves to California to live with married twin.

I agree. I also agree with Johnny. When I first saw Nicole my first thought was that she looked like Andy Dick. I don't watch Real World anymore so this is the first time I've seen her. She seems very impressed with herself for some reason.

Isn't it crazy how we all see things differently? I see a lot of love between them. I've never seen her give him a hateful look or anything that looks like she can't stand him. Not at all. I just see a happy, loving couple/family. I've been living with somebody for almost 28 years and believe me, he's embarrassed me plenty and vice versa but that doesn't mean we don't love each other or that our relationship won't last. They've always seemed much more genuine than that Flip or Flop couple.

Thanks @Lantern7. I knew you would know.

What was the Challenge where Emily left when James was voted out?

How do you know she was "hogging" the table though? Maybe she had some kind of disability that made it hard for her to stand in line for so long. Maybe her friends always wait in line while she sits because her friends know its hard for her to stand for so long. Not all disabilities are visible to other people. I know this post is older but just catching up on the thread here.

I'm rewatching this and I still don't understand what that ion lifesaver was supposed to be for. They said it was to save somebody but how would that work when it wasn't even given out until after the voting had taken place? Can somebody explain what it was for? Please??

I'm watching Battle of the Sexes and the second time around, I still don't understand what the stupid Ion lifesaver was for. It was said it was to save somebody but the voting had already taken place by the time the lifesaver was given out so it couldn't save anybody. Does anybody remember what it was for?

I've seen her do stuff like that a lot. She'll yell at the audience for clapping for something she doesn't like, or like you said for laughing at something she doesn't think is funny. I guess "say it like you mean it" only applies if you agree with her.

Lauren had her baby last night. I don't watch the show much and don't follow the family outside of here. Why are people saying she used a surrogate? I'm reading that she never posted any baby belly pictures or anything so people think she used a surrogate because of that. It does seem weird for somebody like her who lives to be on camera to not milk the pregnancy for all its worth but that doesn't mean she wasn't pregnant.

I know a couple who did this. They knew the marriage wasn't going to work but they each wanted two kids and they wanted them to be full siblings. So they had some cocktails on one of the nights she was ovulating and had a second baby togethe. Then he had a vasectomy and she had her tubes tied. The kids are 9 and 12 now and they're great co parents so it worked out great for them.

Christina says they're "very private people"? Is she kidding?! If they're so very private why the hell are they doing interviews with every magazine and TV show that will have them?

I love you for saying this. So many people think that AA is the only way one can get sober and its just not true. I've been sober since December 29th 1995 and I've been told many, many times that I'm not "truly" sober because I didn't quit through AA. I quit on my own and never looked back. I went to one AA meeting and left halfway through. Plus I'm an atheist and didn't like that every meeting is opened with a prayer.

To quote Roseanne, Karl is now the white trashiest in all the land. She's even managed to out trash the mother who she cuts down at every turn. Trash with cash is still trash.

I have never seen it happen here. I've even seen pinned notes from the mods on the Dance Moms forum saying that nobody is allowed to talk about the dance teachers weight. If anybody ever says even the slightest thing about an obese person they get reamed by the other posters. I see skinny shaming here constantly. Its a terrible double standard.

Some of us are just naturally very thin. There's nothing dreadful about us, we're just skinny. I don't understand why fat shaming is so bad but to body shame somebody because they're thin is OK. I can't stand Rinna for many reasons but her weight isn't one of them. If she were mordibly obese would the skinny shamers be saying "oh my god she's so gross, I could see the fat blubber rolls when she was in that backless dress, how dreadful. She must eat constantly, she must shovel food into her mouth all day long" Somehow I doubt they would. I don't mean just here, it happens everywhere. I get teary eyed coming here sometimes because it makes me feel like people think I look gross because I'm underweight.

Speaking of Real and Chance, I always liked those guys for some reason. I thought they were hilarious and they just had a weird kind of charm. Its sad that Real died so young, it sounds like he had a hard fight with the cancer.

Never mind.

I can't help it, I like Kyle. I thought he would be the one I hated the most but he ended up being the one I hate the least. He's the only one who hasn't annoyed the hell out of me. So far. Everett and his fake intensity are ridiculous. Even when he's just sitting there he has this intense look on his face that cracks me up. I bet he practices that look in the mirror. Best part of this episode for me was no Stephen! He seems like a nice guy but his voice drives me crazy. Every time he opens his mouth I hit the mute button. Between his awful voice and the twins who talk so damn fast I can't understand a word they say, I hit the mute button quite often during this show.

What the hell did I just watch?! I, I, I, have no words. What the eff? Is she serious or does she know how insane this makes her look and Its a spoof? Wow.

Is it bad that my biggest wish is that both Jill and Jessa have 6 boys in a row? I don't want them to have any girls to pawn the housework/cooking and child raising off on.

What did I miss? What has she said about Chelsea? I think she's jealous of the positive attention Chelsea gets and the fact that Chelsea is a good person with a good family but I didn't know she hates her.

I haven't seen very many episodes this season. How did Max get so much money
