I am neither Team Phaedra nor Team Apollo. I am Team Ayden and Dylan. Those poor kids. I feel for them. They are too precious though. FWIW, I think while Phaedra may not have known exactly what Apollo was up to she had to have wondered how he was dropping 8Gs at strip clubs and rolling up in a $100K car. If she didn't, she's damn moron. I wonder if Apollo had not been caught and charged when he was, would Phaedra be looking for a divorce? She clearly had already written him off by the day of his sentencing. I am absolutely with Todd on the car issue. He is right that kids need to learn to earn and upgrading as you go is not a bad thing. So what if the kids at Riley's school have brand new trucks, etc? Riley seems like a sweet kid but Kandi had better watch it. NeNe . . . you know, I liked her so much better before she hit LA and got so important. Cynthia . . . she had better break out that Big Dummy t-shirt if she's thinking of going into business with Peter.

I have always hated, hated, hated that stupid outfit Carrie wore when walking Aidan's dog. The Flashdance reject sweatshirt-y top with the 1970s/1980s jogging shorts and stilettos. I think that monstrosity was only topped by the horror she wore in the first movie when she was going to see Miranda on New Years Eve - - the Sunset Boulevard turban, the camisole top over some long sleeved thing, the pajama bottoms, the ever present stilettos (with socks, since it's winter), the string of pearls and the fur coat. She was seriously going into Grey Gardens territory for me. I may be alone on this but I hated how S1 Miranda was always dressed like she was headed to hoe a pumpkin patch when she was "casual." I don't know any attorneys who would walk the streets wearing massively baggy overalls and a ball cap when running errands, etc. Jeans, people! Casual slacks! Amazing that Samantha wouldn't have made an offhand comment about that attire.

I agree with this completely. I always felt that during the series, Big liked Carrie and enjoyed spending time with her but was never really in love with her. She was crazy about him but she was really a glorified fuck buddy. In a way, her relationship with Aidan mirrored that. Aidan was crazy about her but while I think Carrie loved Aidan as a person, she was never really in love with him. Carrie struck me as the kind of person who would think she had fallen for a man because said man indicated love or an interest in her. FWIW, while I eventually liked Big and Carrie together, I would think Big would go for someone more refined and educated (at least in appearance). And definitely someone less squealy. Regarding the show in general, I never cared as much for those episodes where they left the city. I watched the show for the humor, the relationship between the women and seeing NYC. I loved, loved, loved seeing NYC, whether it was a street scene, a park scene or seeing the women's apartments. This is one of my absolute favorite scenes from the show for that reason. Sam never hesitated, she immediately defended Charlotte and I loved it.

Please, Bravo, if you really love me, please, please, please send Scott, Blake and Emerson to SUR for drinks and dinner and a running commentary. It would be like having Christmas morning 365 days in a row, with Santa, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and RDJ in attendance.

I liked Twilight. (runs away and hides) I read the first book to see what all the hype was about and then read all the sequels. Granted, it's not fine literature or the best writing but for pure entertainment and storytelling ability, I liked it. It was enjoyable.

I also had a love/hate relationship with Carrie. At certain times I liked her but at others, I wanted to throat punch her.\ I personally never considered her the "everywoman" she was projected to be. She was my least favorite character for many of the episodes and most of the time I thought she was a horrible friend. At one time during the run of the show, Samantha, Miranda AND Charlotte all claimed that Carrie was their best friend and I was always scratching my head, wondering "how?" and "why?" Because Carrie was a big old selfish asshole a lot of the time. So many things had to be about her, her, her and for that reason alone, I could never be friends with that Carrie. I always hated how Carrie cheated on Aidan, got him back and then dumped on him again. With hindsight I realize that while Aidan was a pretty great guy, he wasn't the right guy for Carrie. He didn't bring out the best in her, although through no fault of his own. He was laid back, he had a cabin in the country, he was perfectly happy staying in with a bucket of KFC. None of these traits or qualities fit Carrie at all (unless the bucket of chicken came with a joint). They were wholly ill-suited for one another. Interestingly, I don't think Big brought out the best in her either. Before they broke up the first time, Carrie was paranoid that she wasn't "perfect" enough for him (the infamous fart episode). On the surface, Big appeared to not want the drama and Carrie seemed to do nothing but bring the drama and the whining and the attitude. Plus, as others have mentioned, the freaky and crazy stalking. Remember, she was a woman of over 30 when this happened. Big should have run fast and far at that point. Regardless, I had a turnaround with Carrie after seeing the first movie. I liked her there. I felt sorry for her being stood up. The wedding did get out of control but I could understand that better than many of Carrie's other actions. As did everyone else, I HATED that wedding dress. It wasn't flattering and the worst part of it was that it just didn't fit. I thought any of the other dresses she was modeling for that Vogue shoot would have been better choices. But I digress . . . I think Carrie was finally humbled during the first movie and grew up. And she seemed to move somewhat past the "me me me" phase. And boy did I ever want that closet in Heaven on Fifth! Second SATC movie Carrie can suck it. She reverted right back to her selfish and immature persona.

$300 for a "pullover"? Are these people high? Jax' sweater modeling pics make his head look massive. Well, more massive than normal. And did someone photoshop the pics so he has absolutely no hips? From the description: Yes! Chunky Sweater lives!

I want to go take a Honda selfie and send it to James, i.e., DJ Muppet (good one, jaync). Flat Iron can have the last laugh when DJ Muppet is taking the bus because his Beemer broke down and Flat Iron's Honda is still chugging along. That Scheana can booty pop in. Don't forget that!

I am busting out laughing at my desk. Not the best thing to do but damn, this comment is freaking hilarious. My vote is that banging Kristen for 4 or 5 years has to fuck with your head in some ways (not to mention possibly expose you to some type of STI that you would normally only read about on WebMD). I have never heard of Kettlemen City but I have spent time in Bakersfield (my ex is from there) and "armpit of California" is putting it nicely. I am originally from Georgia and I saw more rednecks in Bakersfield. Why must everyone drive a jacked up, big ass white truck in a place that is dusty and dirty? There is literally NOTHING to do in Bakersfield other than plotting your escape plan. To see the Vanderpump Tools exiled there would make my black heart squee with glee. Edited because "initially" and "originally" do not mean the same thing.

Yes, come join me! I have not heard of the interview you mentioned but now I can say that not only do I not care for Jodi Picoult's books but she now annoys me in general too. I am with you there. Back in the day, I worked part time at B&N. My skin would literally crawl with all the women that came in to buy that stupid, brainless book "The Rules" . . . because Oprah said everyone should. I actually begged people NOT to buy it because it was such crap. Not one person elected not to buy it after my warning but a few people did bring it back because (wait for it) it was a piece of crap. I am absolutely not kidding when I say that some people would come in to get Oprah's newest recommended book and would have no idea what the title was or who the author was. Once I got "well, it's a blue book. . . . I think." Great that people wanted to read but mindblowing (to me anyhow) that they were going to read something just because Oprah said to. Why not read a book because you like the author or want to read about the subject matter?

I love physical books. There is nothing like the smell of a new book, the crisp pages, the crack of the spine. And browsing in a brick and mortar store is miles above searching Amazon. I have a Kindle Fire and an iPad and I love them when I travel but nothing beats a physical book in your hand.

I love this show. It's far funnier than most of the so-called comedies and sitcoms on network tv.

Somebody call Ariana. She's not a mactor but she is a self-proclaimed genius.

And so this hour of awesomeness was summed up in the above sentence. Bravo! (No pun intended). Maybe I should say Kadooz. Busboy does resemble a beat Muppet - - one that would actually admit to allegedly sleeping with someone who looks like she smells like old coffee and cigarettes. While Busboy looks better than he did last season (just say no to crack?) he's still not all that. I doubt that Flat Iron is jelly or anything. The only thing Busboy has going for him is the British accent and Kristen may very well bang that out of him. Kristen claiming her nose looks different because of "contouring". Uh-huh. Why doesn't she just claim a deviated septum like everyone else? Genius IQ? If she's such a genius, what's she doing with these nitwits (Schwartz aside)? And why didn't she figure out with her genius scientfic powers that Kristen and Jax banged and tell Flat Iron? I think Ariana is delusional.

I have not read P.D. James' book but I liked the concept. I liked this miniseries well enough but I felt the actress playing Lizzie was so miscast that it bothered me in many scenes. It's not her appearance - - although she looked SO much older than the 27 I've read Lizzie is supposed to be here. It was her absolute lack of wit and charm and personality. There was nothing about her that I thought would attract Mr. Darcy initially. This Lizzie I could never imagine standing up to him as she did in P&P, nor to Lady Catherine. I couldn't imagine a single zinger coming out of her mouth. On top of that, the way she was outfitted made her appear more a member of the staff or one of Pemberley's tenants than the lady of the manor. Would Lizzie really wear the same freaking dress for days on end? I don't think so. Georgiana looked lovely (as we would expect) and even Lydia looked more put together. Speaking of which, the scenes of Lizzie with Lydia looked more like mother and daughter than sisters. It was terribly distracting. I liked Wickham as he did appear charming and rakish. Darcy was fine here as I did see certain aspects of his character that Lizzie would have fallen in love with. I hated what was done to Colonel Fitzwilliam, who came off as a brute and pompous asshole. Very little of Jane and no Bingley. Was that true in the book? I find it hard to believe that Lizzie would not have leaned on Jane more. And where were Mary and Kitty? Was any mention made of them? And no mention of Charlotte and Mr. Collins? No way would Mr. Collins not wanted to be invited to Pemberley. Hmmm . . . although I liked it I guess I was more disappointed than I thought too.

I personally love that Tom's way of dealing with stressful situations is to flat iron his hair. Unless of course we're talking about banging Jax and then a punch to the forehead is acceptable (and encouraged!) Oh, and ripping shirts off to fight on the Vegas streets. God, I love this mess.

Busboy has a BMW? Clearly I have made the wrong choices in life. So Jax has a deviated septum. Is there anyone in Hollywood/Bev Hills that doesn't? StASSi's shorter hair looks good. Unfortunately her personality is still shitty. I believe that Flat Iron was shown shaving his forehead last season or first season. I was not surprised. Ariana needs makeup. Always. Katie needs to step it up. You're being outshined by the freaking Busboy, girl. Kristen is straight up delusional. She and Flat Iron are so getting back together at some point. Maybe she should consider dating someone that actually doesn't work at SUR. Just saying. I still laugh at her being all indignant that Ariana was supposedly screwing around with Flat Iron while FI was Kristen's boyfriend because Kristen conveniently forgets that she was screwing around with Jax and his chunky sweater while FI was her boyfriend. Bygones! God, I love Tom Schwartz. He is the cutest. Clearly there is something wrong with him since he is working at SUR and friends with these fuckwits. Thank you, Bravo and Baby Jesus for bringing this show back. My life would be perfect if this aired daily.

The subject matter would probably be funny and entertaining but I hated Lisa Cuddy with the power of a thousand suns and because of that, will refuse to watch this.

Kristen hardly had room to talk given she banged Jax and his chunky sweater. Nevermind that she always looked like someone pulled her from the tumble dry cycle of my dryer and threw her in front of the camera. StASSi was probably too busy planning her birthday celebration.

It appears that Katie went back to her darker shade. Thank goodness - - it's hard to concentrate when someone's head resembles an Oompa Loompa.

Truth. I am giddy with excitement over the return of StASSi, Jax, his Chunky Sweater and Flat Iron. I'm not sure what that says about me but I will be parked in front of my tv at 9.

Well, this reunion was pretty much like the season in its entirety - - boring as fuck. The twins annoy me. Dina annoys me (let Teresa speak for herself). Melissa, surprising, did not annoy me. Teresa evaded (as usual). Kathy, meh. Rosie was the only interesting one. Thank God Vanderpump Rules comes back on tonight.

On behalf of pugs everywhere, I am offended. Remy is exactly where he needs to be. Eileen deserves a throat punch.

Go Ask Alice. At the time, everyone assumed it was 100% real but even if fiction, it scared the bejeebus out of me. I read it multiple times as a teen during the 80s and I think that book kept me from ever being interested in drugs. Flowers in the Attic by V. C. Andrews - - the first book I ever became obsessed with and it started my love affair with the author, which lasted a handful of years.

Shame on USA for not promoting this more. I just watched it on Bravo (???) and it is freaking hilarious. I just set my DVR to record the next episode.
