Loved the dialogue between Carole and I-forget-who about how they were looking forward to Montana because "I haven't had a vacation in ages... except the Hamptons, of course.... and the Berkshires.... and of course Saratoga, that was fun." Puhleeze!
Does anyone know the name of the resort/dude ranch they stayed at in Montana?
I was coming here to post exactly the same, TomGirl. Call me crazy but I consider the Hamptons, the Berkshires and Saratoga vacations or weekend getaways. Which is more than I've had!
This has always been my favorite franchise, even though I live in the OC (which is my #2). I hate to see it get cancelled, but I have to admit, I am not loving it this year. Also, as someone born and raised in So. California, watching life in New York is really interesting to me, but now they are in Montana? I wish they would keep this in NY. I also think if they hope to save it, they are, unfortunately going to have to have another cast shake up.The sad thing is, other than the Countess, I don't really much care who they keep. The must rid themselves of Aviva and her disgusting father though
She really brings nothing good.
@chlban, get outta my head! Seriously, you posted exactly what my thoughts would be except that I am enjoying the Montana trip. I don't mind their journeys, especially if they travel somewhere I've never been.
This is my favorite franchise too, despite living in OC, like you, and being from Atlanta. There is something about NY that I just love and am mesmerized with.
And like you, LuAnn is my favorite.

When Vicki told Heather that Tamra sabotages all her relationships I thought she was just parroting what Tamara herself said last season. At least I think it was last season that Tamara was trying to make the drama with Eddie that she has a hard time trusting people and whenever anything good comes into her life she sabotages it. I also think Tamra said something similar to Gretchen to when they were becoming BFFs, that she sabotages things and can't be happy. Does anyone else remember this storyline?
This was something that Tamra told Gretchen on the beach, somewhere, when the two had to sit down, with cameras, and Tamra had to explain why she was such a vile bitch and cry about how her parents' divorce affected her so much. When she was 25.

Robert Downey, Jr. in Chaplin. His performance was unbelievable - - it was as if you were watching a documentary of the actual Chaplin.
The writing for The Women - - the 1939 version, not the inferior 2008 version.
Somewhere in Time - - should have won for costume design and the score most definitely should have been nominated.]
The documentaries on the West Memphis 3 were all fantastic documentaries.

Maybe Heather is wrong to repeat the gossip about Shannon and her marriage but I blame Tamra moreso. Shannon told Tamra something in confidence and I don't believe for one Botoxed moment that Tamra was sharing the info with Heather out of the goodness of her oh-so-black heart in hopes that Heather and Shannon would make up. I think Tamra is a nasty shit stirrer and she couldn't wait to share someone else's misfortune.
And she is a dumb bitch extraordinnaire to tell Heather on film and then deny it to Shannon. Heather never denied saying what she did to Teefs and apologized.
Sure, Heather is condescending but I still like her. Her wit and brain can run circles around most of the other ladies.
Briana - - I don't care. Take your jackhole husband and get yourself to OK. Please. (Sorry to any OK residents out there)

Did anyone watch the First Look on Saturday?
Tamra is delusional and insane. She attacks Heather because Heather has the nerve to get CUT Fitness a spot on Good Day LA after Tamra's "competition" was there first and then expects Heather to sit down all warm and fuzzy over Tamra and Eddie before the show? Bitch, please. I just can't with this nitwit.
If I was Heather, I would have cancelled the spot as soon as that yellow haired sea witch went after me.

Thanks @babykin! Far too many of us have BTDT. Hugs to you for having to go through it as well. I think I'd been sheltered all my life & never really ran into a truly evil person until I meet the evil one. And that's what I usually call him now, TEO (the evil one) or Son of Satan. I feel like his name still has a tiny bit of power left so I won't say it. Silly I know, but whatever it takes to heal & be whole. Realizing that some people literally have no conscience & aren't a Hitler, a Stalin or even a Dahmer was new to me. I think I just assumed that bad people at least felt some guilt about the things they did. As far as TEO goes, nope, not a bit. Although he was great at pretending to be sad or guilty or upset in the wooing phase.
@ramble, ha! I call my ex Satan, the Spawn of Satan or just plain old F*ckwit. It's fitting. I feel like he doesn't even deserve his given name any longer.
As far as my ex goes, I think anytime he may possibly have bordered on guilt or feelings like guilt, he would verbally attack me. Turn the tables. Deflect. Whatever it took.

@psychoticstate I am sending you the biggest internet hugs I have. I am so sorry. By the time I moved out, I was in a pretty bad state. The good news is, you are out now. And you know what he is.
Sorry ... I don't think everyone that cheats is a sociopath either. With Dean, it is the consistent cheating, the lack of any true understanding of emotions or the real pain of someone else other than himself. Maybe he's a narcissist only. They are both disordered and it's crazy f-ed up to see it fully laid out.
The poor poor kids.
Thank you, babykin. This is most definitely the most trying and dark time of my life. I cannot wait for it to be over.
I don't think that everyone who cheats is a sociopath either. Selfish, sure. An asshole, maybe.
Ugh, the tacos! Tori giggling like she was just so BAAAAAD for actually eating such a thing!
Does Tori even weigh more than those tacos?
I guess "a lady" never talks about her eating disorders either. Her husband's pubes, sure. But not weight and food!
Please save a spot for me on that bus ride to hell. Window seat, please.

Just a shoutout and a thanks to whomever (or whoever?) compared this episode and the gossipy gal to the movie "The Women". I was unfamiliar with it, but with your comments, as well as those from Carole in her blog (she loves this movie), I am going to check it out. I love these forums not just for the snark, but for the insight. I was unfamiliar with Grey Gardens before I got hooked on TWoP, and I am so glad I was introduced to such a lovely and disturbing documentary.
motorcitymom65, I hope you LOVE The Women. It's one of my absolute favorite classic movies!

@JustAlison I dated a narc/socio for 5 years. Broke up 3 months before our wedding. Your description is so scary dead on, it made me shudder. These monsters don't change and there is no cure. They just ruin your life.
@babykin, I'm in the process of divorcing one now. They truly do not see and do not CARE about what they inflict on others and the effect that has. The only need sociopaths have with others is what others can do for them. Once you are no longer "valuable" to them or provide them with what they need, you are expendable and they move on to the next victim.
Worst mistake I ever made and divorcing him is no easier than living with him and dealing with the many dysfunctions and issues. I wish I had seen them earlier and gotten out as you did.

I can't speak for Luann, but the issue for me was that they were discussing it loudly, while another woman was speaking. After the runway show and the speeches, if the women chatted casually amongst themselves, it would not have been a big deal. But this woman is up there sharing her story and they are laughing and passing a phone around and drawing a lot of attention to themselves (and away from the cause). JMO
I agree, ghoulina. I thought it was horribly rude to be laughing and giggling not only while someone was speaking but was speaking about how cancer was claiming lives and how it had impacted her. That woman (Bonnie?) had more grace than I would have - - I would have stopped talking and asked the table to share with everyone what was so darn funny. Because we all know that cancer isn't funny.
I could just imagine how Aviva would have reacted if she had been having one of her many alleged charitable events for limb loss and she was speaking about how it affected her and people were laughing over a text. Release the Kraken!
I am disappointed that Heather didn't tell Lulu she was partly to blame.

I've never read Bag of Bones but I hated the minseries or whatever it was from a few years ago. Boring as hell.

She was more worried about spooning then the actual fucking?
helloagain said it very well but as someone whose spouse cheated on her, I totally get this. Sex can be nothing but a physical act with no emotional connection whatsoever. The thought that Dean may have spooned this girl or held her or really opened up and talked to her indicates this wasn't just an instance of getting some strange because he could. And it may also remind Tori of what may have happened with herself and Dean the first day they met. Tori has constantly said in her other reality shows that she worries that Dean will do the same to her that he's done to Mary Jo. Makes perfect sense.
Very clear to me that this "lost footage" or whatever was nothing more than a way for Tori to say "See? This is why I stayed with Dean. The show was his grand gesture to me." I actually think that statement is 100% true. I had posted several times over on TWOP that I didn't understand what Dean was getting out of this show - - if anything, the first few episodes made him look even WORSE. I had speculated that maybe Tori demanded he do this show as a penance and in order to keep the marriage going. I have no doubt of it now.
And because it can't be said enough - - Dr. Wexler is a quack. I think Dean is a huge piece of shit but the therapy sessions were obviously to help Tori, not to help their marriage. Big difference.

And here I thought Caroline was going to be the most vile person of this show. Congratulations, Noelle! You're an asshole. And bitch, you can miss me with that "I'm not a golddigger" comment. You're just not golddigging well. I feel sorry for her boyfriend because girl is clearly in it for the dollars.
BTW, I swear I had a Barbie when I was younger that came in the same hot pink long dress that Noelle was wearing. Just saying.
I'm not going anywhere though because I loooooooove seeing the London scenery.

Does RaMOANa just have cases and cases of Pinot lying around? She had one in her hand walking in and there were four more on the bar. I guess that's one way to guarantee her not running out.
Keeping cases and cases of Pinot around are a surefire way to make sure the Moaner shows up for every event.
Luann is coming off really well. I'm still shaking my head that they dumped her when she's giving exactly what each episode needs IMO. Not saying she's the only lady doig this I just think it's funny that they dumped Luann and now she's getting all of this positive feedback. I hope they bring her back full time and admit that they made a mistake. That could be pretty satisfying for her.
I agree. I love LuAnn. I spend most of the episodes looking at what she's wearing, her jewelry, etc. That woman has Style with a capital S. Although I'm sure Aviva doesn't consider her a well-wisher or anything like that.
I was horrified at the ladies laughing during the "my mother had cancer" speech. Unbelievably rude and no excuse.

Anyone missing Gretchen? And Slade?
I only miss Gretchen tooting her high horn about flandering or sunthin' in her quest to rehensibly mangle and butcher the English language worse than anyone.

katesus, I agree with your entire post. That is all.
Over at TWOP, I posted all about all the new gyms/studios opening up around here. That Orange 'whatever' was one of them. Apparently, I found out tonight that Tamra thinks this is her rival. Hee. Hee. and one big LAUGHING OUT FUCKING LOUD! Drive thru El Pollo Loco and you look directly at it. Oh, it's next to a Starbucks! It is in a much better site then Tamra's off the hidden trail location. There has been all kinds of fitness businesses opening up recently. I stay with 24 Hour Fitness.
Tamra is insane. OrangeTheory and 24 Hour Fitness are across the street from each other and both in well-traveled shopping centers. They are each other's competition. I doubt Tamra and her CUT Fitness, complete with anti-aging doctors and Rapey Ryan and his parking lot drugs, are even on their radar.
My favorite moment was when Shannon called Tamra eloquent.
I don't think Tamra and "eloquent" have met each other, nor will they in this lifetime.
Eddie spoke for us all when he said, "I'm already tired of this conversation."
Who would have thought Teefs wouldn't annoy me this season? But he hasn't. He's (almost) the voice of reason. (He gets major points detracted by being married that yellow headed sea witch).
Vicki is so continually rude and inappropriate that I just have to laugh at her "are you doing the chitty chitty bang bang?" and "you don't look gay!" comments to people she just met.
And because it can't nearly be said enough - - TEAM HEATHER. STFU, Tamra.

I listened to 11/22/63 as an audiobook. Overall, I found it very good. There were a few parts that dragged IMO but the general concept was excellent. My biggest pet peeve was the character of Sadie being voiced like a man with a ridiculous Southern drawl. I get that the narrator was a man but geez, it really took me out of the book hearing comments that were supposedly made by a feminine woman in a very male voice. And it made me not like the character.

I guess I should have clarified - - Younger Associate was an incredibly caring and hot man. Who Heroine threw away because, well, who wouldn't to take back a lying, cheating, older Douchebag of a husband? Isn't that what we all want? I guess according to Danielle Steel, it is.
-
Not sure if this would be unpopular or not but I was a fan of Danielle Steel's back in her heyday (80s) - - until I read Lightening. What a piece of shit!
If you haven't read it, it goes a little something like this. Heroine is unbelievably beautiful but doesn't know it. Of course. She finds out she has cancer so her husband, being the douchebag he is, bails. Because HE can't take it. Heroine is an attorney and a younger associate in her office who lost a sister to cancer steps in to provide her with support, take her to chemo, etc. A romantic relationship develops. Yay, Heroine. Heroine kicks cancer in the ass. You go, Heroine. Heroine is in remission. Douchebag husband decides that he no longer wants to bang his girlfriend and wants Heroine back. Because she's healthy and all now. Heroine kicks sweet, compassionate and supportive Younger Associate to the curb to take cheating, deserting Douchebag back. What the what? Heroine and Danielle Steel can both miss me with that kind of codependent, stand by your man b.s.
I love books. The thought of throwing a book away makes me shake. I threw Lightening away. After I threw it across the room in disgust.

On my way to watch Teeths and Tamballs at their booth act some festival that is exactly across the street from the theatre we are going to tonight.
Then, on my way out I'll yell "See ya Tamballs!"
LabLover, was Tamra at the RSM festival today? I drove by there and would have stopped if I had known old Tams was there. No wonder there were so many cars parked on the street . . .
Here's your spot for all things Tamra, let me know if you think of a funny title!
Tamra: OC's Trucker with Tits

The Northam explains why his resume has been spotty after he was hyped up in the late 90s. I tend to think the British industry is less accommodating of jerks and he hasn't done that much theatre or film/tv there.
Compare him to Colin Firth who has done exceptionally well post-period piece heart throb. Firth looks particularly good these days too. I'm sure me and other P&P devotees are happy for his success.
Information, please on the Northam incident. Where was I? I have no idea what this is.

Did anyone watch the episode this past Monday on Tiffany Sessions?
I lived in Georgia when Tiffany went missing from Gainesville and I remember it being all over the news. Just sadness realizing that her family has never at least had the closure to find her body and give her a burial.

Season 9 Discussion
in Keeping Up With The Kardashians
When is California going to break down and give Kim's ass its own zip code? That thing is huge and she wears clothing that only accentuates it. Ugh.
I only watch this show sporadically. Does she ever do anything with North?
Bruce really looks awful. Maybe it's the strain of the separation or years of dealing with Kris and her spawn but I would hope that being apart from her on a daily basis would improve him.
