  1. All I remember of that Oslo episode is that the realtor looked like she had a face transplant. Between the implants and botox, she looked really odd. Agree with you about the Amsterdam lady, she was really cute, great smile. Nice balcony.
  2. Enjoyed the series, but Cromwell was not well cast. Too elegant. Still waiting to see Henry8 portrayed as he really was at that part of his life-bald and turning to fat.
  3. Mindy McIndy, perfect synopsis. It was a tragic story of predators and prey. Lonnie Franklin's friends were revolting too. The women at the end-horrifying. I can't help thinking that if these were predominantly white prostitutes, and drug addicts; it might not have taken cops 20yrs to catch him.
  4. Just because Sofia Vergara's ex sent Wendy flowers for her 1000th show doesn't mean that he's a great guy. It means he's a fame whore who figured that Wendy could be bought for a couple of bucks. The response to Nick Loser's piece in the NY times has been overwhelmingly negative, I am sure he is devastated because he came off looking like a absolute fool. Hopefully, Wendy will adjust her badly misinformed opinion because as much as I like her, she is way over her head with this one.
  5. You know, I didn't mean to come down so hard on Buffalo. If you are ever there from June-August, it is very beautiful. It's very artsoriented community, lots of concerts and festivals. A while back NY magazine had an article about young professionals fleeing NYC to Buffalo D/T to the escalating cost of living. Still. It is very difficult weather. If the snow doesn't get you, the wind chill factorwill. I also don't think that the city montage was very well done. Why not show a couple of the Frank Lloyd Wright houses there, or the stunning architecture of downtown? Why didn't they go to the Anchor Bar if they were gonna show Wings? The creator of chicken wing as everyone knows? My Aunt lived in Tonawanda, can't say I would recommend it.
  6. I was born and raised in Buffalo, so I was looking forward to this episode. My immediate family moved from there starting in the early 1980's to Raleigh, NC and never looked back. We used to go every couple of years, mainly to eat great food; but then those visits fell by the wayside. The weather is just awful, jobs are scarce, so yeah you can probably score a $100G house there now. It was telling that there was no mention of which part of Buffalo they were looking. It's too bad that the couple didn't have more of a budget because there are some truly beautiful neighborhoods there. I must confess to a pet peeve, if I am going to be on national TV, you can bet my hair and make up are going to be on point. I know it's petty but her hair was a mess.
  7. So glad Amal Clooney was'nt ass-kissed! Something about her is so phony. Now, maybe someone like Biana Jagger back in the day, could work some gloves, but they would have been impeccably fitted(and probably purple). She is either too arrogant to listen to her stylist, or someone wants her to look foolish. Lana Del Ray looked high as hell too in that awful dress. Jennifer Lopez is starting to look like a female impersonator, an exaggeration of sexiness which is sad b/c I've seen her looking spectacular when she dresses appropriately. Kind of suprised by Emily Blunt who usually brings it, Kate Hudson looked OK but she's starting to wear the same style dress alot. A lot of the heavy hitters were'nt there though:no Theron, JLaw, Bullock, Diaz, or Halle Berry. They always look good. Julianna Margulies looked blah, Kerry Washington must have been doing someone a favor by wearing that dress, and her hair looked like crap.
  8. The stolen dog case got fishier as it went along. The first time she stole the dog, OK; it was a shitty thing to do to achieve a resolution. It did work though. I don't believe she took the dog a second time. No mention of the dog was made in the hallterview, no; I miss little Rover every day. Over the years JJ has been bamboozled(sister who painted the bedroom black-they've been on other shows), it would be interesting to know if these two were recruited by the show, or if they applied. Got a grifter vibe.
  9. Watched the show today with Jessica Chastain and Michael C. Hall. Guests were OK. They did a segment with a guy that did a book about at home grooming for your dog, and they used two shelter dogs who need a home as the demonstratees(if that's a word). You know sometimes I watch the show and Kelly gets on my nerves, but I've watched this show for years and that's to be accepted. familiarity breeds contempt and, all that. Michael got the "easy" dog to work with, Kelly's dog was skittish and appeared to be frightened. She was so wonderful with that dog that it almost made me want to cry. It was'nt about her at all, just being kind-crooning to the dog, not making jokes, reminding the audience about the need for homes. I think that while she can appear superficial at times(who is'nt?), at her core she is a decent, kind person.
  10. Saw the one with the Hampton bride who went into NYC to pick out her gown, I have to say she looked stunning. We were watching and finally figured out who she resembled- a brunette Marilyn Monroe. Usually I hate on someone who has 13K to spend on a dress, and looks like her; but I just can't. Although she was very petite, she had a tiny waist- that's what is in my mind curvy; not these obese girls stuffing themselves into a strapless gown. The second wedding bride- could'nt even watch that mess, don't these people realize how foolish they are?
  11. I have seen the show a couple of times while channel surfing. Could not really understand their appeal. I also don't understand how people of this ilk got a TV show in the first place. I have worked with private investigators through the nature of my work, it would have been very easy to unearth this unsavory situation. It looks like they live in a small town, did no one think to speak to local law enforcement? Neighbors? I lay the blame for this fiasco squarely on TLC. I certainly hope that there is someone who is not inbred that can assume care of the minor children. People that looked at this family as some kind of joke should be ashamed.
  12. Wow, I thought that Matthew Broderick and TI would be a good show. I confess to having a huge crush on TI, his teeth sparkle! His mocha skin so velvety! He actually saved the show with his low key charm b/c I guess Matthew Broderick decided to phone it in. Seemed like he felt like he was above it all. He must be a pretty good guy, after all SJP had some great men in the past and she ended up picking him. I can't understand the uncomfortable act, the guy's been in the business forever-he's not very bright though, making that remark about Helen Hunt getting drunk quickly and throwing up. I know she was a former girlfriend, and was'nt she with him when he got into that terrible car accident in Ireland years ago? Best not to talk shit about formers. Also, his outfit was boring, but next to the delectable TI, anyone would look ordinary.
  13. The killing of Van Alden did'nt have the suprise element for me. Not that I saw it coming, it seemed lacking in suspense. The gratuitous shot of his blown apart skull did'nt dispel the feeling that this great actor had been robbed of a more fleshed out ending for his character. The scene b/t Jeffrey Wright and Chalky was very well done. I think that these two actors are the best there is. I thought that the ending was very sad, and I actually teared up a little. One of the best things about this show has been the casting.
  14. The actress who plays one of the twins is going to be around for a long time. Her delivery of her lines is hilarious.
  15. I don't know what I hated more, the self satisfied smirk on that Lori bitch; or that a lowlife like her could have such nice hair and teeth. Sounded to me that she and her Mom were grifters. I wonder if any of the other children shared a Father. You know that the other judge that issued her a restraining order bought her bullshit hook, line, and sinker. She was a real poison apple.
  16. I've noticed that at each initial contestant meet and greet, they have someone saying "I'm going to win so y'all can just go home", or words to that effect. It's getting on my nerves. The Miami weddings used to be opulent, gaudy affairs; what happened? One thing that did'nt happen was someone having the brains to slip the guy riding the tractor during the first bride's ceremony a $20 to quit it for 15 minutes. I just can't with these brides with kids, I always subscribed to the saying; "One is a love child, two is just tacky". Her wedding was nice, and she looked good in her dress; but I can't see why she thought to be a contestant. The bride Shay's dress was stunning, her food looked really good, and the wedding cake looked pretty. Hated pretty much everything else, 95 degrees is too hot to have an outdoor wedding in full sunlight. The chocolate/wine ceremony was dumb. I fully expect someone to come out and make a PB&J at one of these ceremonies. The pink decor/uplighting in the reception space would seem more suitable for a sweet sixteen. She was a lovely lady though, and scored the others appropriately. Desiree AKA Orchid Bride had a nice venue, I thought the view was gorgeous. Her gown was OK (not really into the Pnina type thing), but I thought that the earrings were'nt a good choice. Nromally, I don't notice bridesmaids dresses, but hers were hideous; coupled with the "DESIGNER" sneakers, an unfortunate pairing. Her food looked really tasty though. I'm not big on tattoos, but, hers was beautiful and I did think that the tattoo table where you could apply your own orchid tattoo, was original and fun. The last bride looked like a gloomy Gus at all the other brides weddings. Seemed kind of nitpicky, so I figured her wedding was going to be something special. Nope! I don't think I have ever even heard of a cocktail hour being on the sidewalk of a venue. Now, watching this show some episodes back, there was a beach wedding that inexplicably had their cocktail hour in the parking lot (under tents) at the venue, but this truly was a first for the most poorly conceived idea ever. I thought her dress was odd, the bodice seemed like one of those molded jobs that the "curvy" girls wear,though she was slender, and the skirt was too long and needed another crinoline to give it shape. The headpiece reminded me of the 1980's and not in a good way. I had to laugh when one of the bride's said that the groom looked liked he was going to eat her face! One of the more distasteful kisses. I don't want to see tongue at a wedding ceremony. Her food did'nt look good at all either. No clear cut wedding MVP guest out of this bunch, Shay came closest though. I don't go to a wedding for the food, I'm sure no one does. However, I don't expect to be served crap either. If you can't afford decent food, you need to rethink your priorities. Same with not having an open bar, or having your wedding on a Tuesday.
  17. I agree with poeticlicensed. I found one of the most distasteful winners was the one who had a three year old, then suprised the groom with the sonogram of their soon to be second child in an intra-wedding video made after their big church wedding. I would think that anyone who has enough disposable income and their child's future is already secure, wouldnt feel the need to enter a contest for a free honeymoon. I guess I'm not figuring in the huge egos of some of these folks.
  18. The Savannah brides were interesting. Thought he train depot venue was different but drab, really needed more decoration and lighting. I liked this bride's dress, hair, and bouquet, the best; but emphatically agree with previous poster-she was no 28! LOL! I must confess that whenever I see the bald head/facial hair combo of the groom, I automatically think biker/civil war re-enactor; in either case-LOSER! Also, she needs to understand that her wedding was not edgy. Sorry. Hated the preacher's daughter bride. Way to show respect for your Dad, with the lap dance. I'm tired of these women describing themselves as "curvy". Honey, what you were in those bandage dresses you wore to the other weddings showed off rolls of fat, not a defined waist. Her wedding dress was too long, and her makeup was so thick that she resembled a drag queen. Whenever someone describes themselves as a DIVA, I know I'm gonna hate. Her food did look good though. The first bride with the halter dress was a sweet girl, did'nt care for the dress though. She had the prettiest smile. Wedding was meh. Hate a drinking game at a wedding. The Asian bride's wedding was the nicest, I got the feeling that there was a wedding planner involved somewhere. Her dress did nothing for her, but she was the Winner and MVP wedding guest so I give her major props for that accomplishment.
  19. I rarely watch anything in real time. DVR really comes in handy when watching FW or Househunters. I'd rather have only one episode a week of FW, but I guess that would cut into My Best Friend's Gypsy Wedding or what is destined to be A Dugger Gets Married or has A Child Every Year for the next 20yrs screen time. NOT.
  20. Wow, best vows so far go to the winning Savannah groom. I thought they were a good looking couple but I just can't with these tattoos. People are gonna say that it's part of who she is, and if that's the case then why did she airbrush them out of her wedding pictures? She was a real down to earth woman, and her wedding food was the bomb. Who has friends and relatives that'll make a feast like that for you? Not me! Also, I liked that it was served. Not crazy about the cotton theme, her dress was underwhelming and don't like pockets in wedding dresses. Can't stand Xmas themes outside the holidays, hot chocolate bar, ho hum. She was a pleasant bride though who liked more things than not. Pretty much hated the football wedding, thought the unity "painting" was poorly conceived and executed; even the colors sucked. The venue itself had all the charm of a bowling alley, and the prominent display of the game on the big screen TVs with the guests cheering like rabid fans was tacky. With the exception of the winner, I did'nt think that the other brides dresses were very good. Poorly fitted, badly pressed or too dressy for the venues in my opinion. .
  21. "Three jewish weddings and the other one", best title so far for any show this season! I am glad that the woman with the Orthodox wedding won, the venue looked beautiful and the food looked great. She was a sweet girl too. I could'nt understand why the girl with the food allergies did'nt fix herself up for her wedding, that little tiara resting on that stringy hair was just sad.Her mother looked like a million bucks, so I can't figure out if she was just above all that looking good stuff, or was just a precious snowflake who can do no wrong. The groom certainly did not look all that enthused, I'll leave it at that. I must confess that even though I am a huge animal lover, I'm just not into them at a wedding. I would definitely not act all huffy about it like the bride who lowballed her by giving her that three. I don't know why, but I just got a bully vibe from that girl.The wedding cake alone should have ensured her at least a 5, one of the prettiest I've seen on FW. I thought that low ball bride's display on the dance floor with the groom at her reception was trashy. Her gown was pretty, though her bouquet overwhelmed the dress. The "chemical reaction" bride I thought was gonna win, she definitely deserved MVP wedding guest! Her gown was the best in my opinion, but the science experiment at the ceremony has been done before (cheesy volcano), and once again her DIY project looked very childlike in theme and compostion. She was a fun girl though. The lady sitting next to Orthodox bride on the platform was probably her Grandmother, and I thought she rocked the Joan Jetson wig!
  22. Oh, so Frankie's was`the deciding vote huh...
  23. Frankie reminds me of that character Cesar in the Hunger Games.
  24. Jocasta is a real christian, she knows fake praying yall!
