  1. Well, I don't think they come with the questions themselves. Unless Derrick completely blows addressing the jury, it's IN THE BAG!
  2. Someone needs`to tell Jocasta that the bow tie looks stupid. So Frankie calls Derrick the "Puppetmaster". Hmmmm. Caleb's an idiot, can barely read.
  3. I almost forgot the the thing that made me remember the Harlan case from the first time I viewed it. It was'nt the beard or neck tattoos, or the deluded Mom. It was'nt the kids drawing on the walls. It was the abandoned chicken he left in the bedroom with no food or water, to die. Yeah, I do believe the homeowners, you can't make shit like that up.
  4. Wow, never in a million years would I have ever dreamed that the dirtbag named Harlan had so many advocates. I just saw the angry, argumentative Harlan who does'nt work, has four kids, goes to college on someone's dime, hopefully his thrilled to be on JJ, Mom's. I'll tell you what, anyone who would let their kids paint on the walls of a home (that is'nt theirs to deface), has problems. A lack of decency and respect for others. Some time I watch JJ and realize that while my family is not perfect, I'm pretty sure I am not in danger of being murdered by them.
  5. All her clothes are so ill fitting that I'm sure she'll spend the finale adjusting whatever it is.
  6. I have watched BB since Will won, and have enjoyed it with varying degrees of interest. Last year though was so bad that I pretty much swore off the show for good. I know that there were a few idiots this season, but no really awful scummy people like Aaryn, Spencer, and GM. I think BB production has redeemed themselves a little, but jumping the shark when repeatedly resorting to stunt casting. I fully expect another Hantz on the show next season. I liked Derrick from the beginning, but then there is a lot of cop hate on some of the boards which color opinion of his game play. I mean, he was an undercover cop, not a CIA agent. I do hope that Donny wins AFP b/c while he pretty much sucked at the game, his inherent decency raised it up a notch and gave us an underdog to root for.
  7. How You Doin?! Watch Wendy everyday and love her. I think she's a lot like Oprah in that she asks questions that I'm thinking. When she talks about cooking or going to the supermarket, I believe her. She's entertaining- consistently. You either like her or hate her, she's polarizing to some, but I admire what she has achieved. As for Lolo Jones, It's her choice, her sexuality; but I don't understand why she thought it was anyones business. I just think some things should be private and talking about it opens you up to criticism or speculation. Anyhoo, I'm with Wendy-freaky!
  8. I laughed-out loud, when I watched Derrick describe Cody's reaction to Christine's boos. I aree, where's this guy been? Thinking about winning 550K!
  9. OK, so first we have the sexed up bridegroom in Savannah, then we go for a twofer with wedding ceremony starring MOM in Miami. I can't decide if it was the so very mother of the bride RED dress, or her impromptu remarks; but clearly this was a woman who was not going to be denied her chance to shine on TV! Her poor daughter was completely blindsided (we watched her reaction twice!); and all I can say is that these were very generous brides in that they chose to interpret Mom's grandstanding as some kind of touching moment. Also, way to go ombre bridemaid; alias YOLO girl for leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the contestants who are judging your friend's wedding! A word of advice to future contestants, ask a friend/family to make sure they experience your wedding fully. Don't put them at a table where they can't see anything or with kids, make sure guys ask them to dance, (that's what groomsmen are for), and don't have them be the last group at the buffet. In other words, make them feel special,(but don't target them with a corsage as other contestants have done). After all, these wedding guests have the potential to gift you with a nice honeymoon, could it hurt? Anyhoo, the blond resembled Kim Z from RHWOA. I thought she was going to be a jerk but ended up being pretty cool. I have noticed that in some instances, the reception dance floor has benefitted immensely with the presence of some of these dancing contestants. I thought the ombre wedding was very disorganized, the ceremony should never have been held outside with the after effects of the rain in play. I am over food trucks for wedding fare, unless it's a late nite snack after dancing. I don't like chocolate fountains, (unsanitary-almost threw up after seeing someone double dip), ice sculptures that deliver shots out of an animals willy, or the potato bar. I thought the bride with the wine wedding had some great ideas and her DIY was excellent (Blackboard), but I thought the "snow machine" that spewed clots of suds was cheesy. I don't know how they could have miscalculated so badly on the wine stock though.The girl that won was very nice, while her wedding was no great shakes, she and her groom were such a lovely couple, I was happy that they won.
  10. The low country Savannah bride really had a beautiful venue, and she appeared to be a really lovely woman; so I'm glad she won. However, I don't know how the garden party bride came in last, unless she threw some major shade at the initial bride meet and greet. No way was that Pirate mess in any way better than hers. This is what happens when people try to be clever with the scoring. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want her groom and bridal party to look like a bunch of wait staff from one of Savannah's dive bars. I noticed that the bride did'nt participate in the theme. Her food looked unappetizing, and don't get me started on a $9.50 signature drink. I can't even imagine what that first song was that they played, but it must have been a doozie, all the brides commented on it. I felt badly for the church girl, at some point I hope she realizes that the groom's comments about the upcoming wedding nite sex was not cute but wildly inappropriate for a minister of the cloth. Full disclosure, I'm not even RELIGIOUS! She invited 350 people to the wedding-not the reception! That's why she had the woman checking the guest list for names. I'm sorry but to me that's just tacky. Where I come from, if you are invited to the wedding, you are coming to the reception. That's why she did'nt waste money on the "cocktail hour". Tacky.
  11. Yeah, the Disney bride's checked dress with the sparkly statement necklace, looked cool; hair style was perfect. If you use the Disney brand in a respectful way and don't make any money off it, I imagine Disney chalks it up as being happy to be part of a fan's wedding. Also, in this instance, free advertising. The Jwow bride's dress was nicely constructed, I did'nt realize til the end that she was pregnant. Another thing about the Lesbian wedding, loved it when her son went all limp noodle when she picked him up to participate in the ceremony. I agree about the dress, just the absolute worse. When I was growing up, one of our neighbors daughters was making her own wedding dress. Her Mom asked my Mother to take a look, I guess b/c she did'nt want to tell her precious snowflake that perhaps the first thing you sew should'nt be a wedding dress. Everything she chose-fabric, lace, thread was all wrong. My Mom helped her make a new one, and it was not cheap. She got a note with a picture a few years back, the bride's daughter wore it too; at her wedding. Like the ballgown of last week, it can be done, but you have to have a modicum of taste, some skill at sewing, and the right materials to work with.
  12. I have read bout 25 times how Derrick's background as an undercover cop gave him this incredible advantage over these sheeple, and it annoys me every time. While I do think that Derrick is not stupid, and has been steadfast in his goal to win as much $ as humanly possible; he's no diabolical genius. I think that he was wise to keep his profession a secret b/c let's face it, cops are not getting great PR right now. Do I think he lights up the room with his personality? Nope, but I do think that he is a decent guy who never lost sight of the fact that to win this game is an opportunity for he and his family to have a better life. Nobody is making money as a cop, trust me.
  13. I really have no idea why the lesbian couple bothered to be on the show. I believe that she had a lot of nerve judging the other weddings, especially the 3 she gave Jwow bride. There seemed to be no effort to see to her guests comfort, seemed like a gift grubbing opportunity to me.
  14. Shiny suit Dad needs to bank the 2500.00 for when he needs to bail these two special snowflakes.
  15. Well, the people I thought should win, did. The Charleston weddings were interesting, I am getting sick of these Halloween weddings, and I would'nt be that jazzed to have to wear a costume too. I don't know, went to a wedding last year where the bride asked the ladies to wear red, and it was a formal affair so extra effort (borrowing a dress which many did) or expense was required. I just want to be a guest. I did think that the bride copied the other in her use of a mascot, but the bride(who did win) should have played it more, "sincerest form of flattery", instead of opting for the less admirable "copycat" route. I have to say I did like the Halloween bridal gown, it was different and not strapless for a change. The NJ weddings or 3 wedding mills and a fiasco, was much more interesting to me. The winning bride's venue has been on the show before, the entryway is pretty spectacular, but they must have gotten one helluva discount b/c that was more than a 50K wedding. The groom worked security for them or something. I thought her dress was very age/size appropriate for her and I would have loved to go to her wedding and eaten a big old lobster during the cocktail hour. The Disney bride's wedding was very nice too but I did notice that the dress while pretty looked awkward when she walked. The JWOW bride must have pissed off the Lesbian bride b/c she really low balled her. I thought her gown was lovely, and she was pregnant too! All of them were wedding mills with varying levels of opulence, I guess it was an episode that showcased these kind of venues. Finally, the Lesbian bride with the kids, awful gown, and cold pizza at the reception. The only thing that could have improved this mess was a whole lotta liquor. I guess their theme was "we're lesbians with baggage". There have been other same sex marriages on the show which have been lovely, meaningful ceremonies followed by receptions that were planned and executed with style. This was'nt one of them. The look on the winner's face when the litres of soda were plopped down on the table though was priceless.
  16. I liked the Wilmington couple, I thought the realtor was an asshole. It shows you how fake this show can be when the buyers don't say anything to a real estate agent that shows them a 400K property that borders a trailer park. Also, along with another property, has no backyard to speak of. The husband's family is from Wilmington, I'm sure they'll look in on the place.when they're travelling for their work.
  17. Saw the one about the speeder getting sued by the cop. The speeder just seemed like a sneaky self satisfied asshole with his Kardashian fan girlfriend.
  18. I am so sick of these sports themed weddings, but if you are going to do it, here's a hint-unless you're a DIY craft master; do not showcase your amateur efforts at your wedding. I loved the train station wedding, she had great taste, I do agree that the minister clipped the vows in a way that made me wonder if he was'nt late for an appointment elsewhere. I did'nt care for her dress all that much, but at least it wasn't as bad as that strapless greek number on the stadium bride. If a "friend" helped her pick out that dress-shame on you.That dress highlighted her flat chest and very thin frame in a way that just was not flattering at all. Did'nt like the Fri the 13th bride,, the halloween/goth thing has been done before, and much better. I do think that her church was simple and beautiful. The Seattle brides were all pretty cool- good people there b/c tthis is the second show that featured that area and I liked them all. The bride that won-I was just thrilled for her, and the dress she made was stunning. The venue was pretty and the food looked good, I was glad to see the groom looking so great at the reveal. I have been to functions where they have used porto-potties, and let me tell you, there is a variety to choose from today. If I went to a wedding that had the cheap ass ones that bride had, I would have ducked out before using one. Where was this spectacular place that did'nt have restrooms? I really liked the blonds wedding, a family member must have contributed the flowers gratis b/c that was alot of flowers for what her budget was. Her food looked great, sometimes the best weddings have the simplest food. I thought her dress was beautifully fitted.
  19. Nope, watched the Romanian couple's episode after reading recent replies, and nowhere did it state that the parents didn't speak English. I thought that the house was purchased with great consideration of them, a one story within walking distance to the beach. Americans find it so odd when extended family live together, they can't seem to grasp the concept. Anyhoo, they looked pretty darn happy walking on the beach, and cooking what looked like a delicious meal that I bet they shared with the lucky crew. I wasn't all that impressed with the Chicago choice with the dining room down the hall from the kitchen.I do feel that the producer's need to let go of this conflict of choices narrative driving each episode. The househunters are beginning to look like a bunch of oddballs. I didn't mind the Boca Raton couple all that much, the homes showed were all pretty solid, and their dog was about the cutest I've seen on the show in awhile. Too bad we won't see his dream pool, I bet it'll be something.
  20. Poor Anitra. Those Kings cakes were just glorified donuts. Watched the bests/blunders show. I often wonder if that woman who had the really expensive Halloweenish wedding who was all sour grapes at the reveal is transgender? Unless, it was on another show, where was the unity cocktail? Every time I see the "Cougar" bride, I think green card marriage. Agree,that it was poorly done; even the edit sucked.
  21. I'm tired of these morbidly obese women talking about their "curves". If your fiancee comes dress shopping with you, he's an asshole. Pinina dresses really do only look good on thin girls with big implants.
  22. I guess I have a completely different take on things b/c the order I thought they should have won was Ethiopian bride, Rocker Bride, Butterfly Bride who was a real bitch, and then blond bride. Crazy, rude, and stupid to be that late to your own wedding. Also, that venue has been done before(and better), her food looked like crap, and I can't believe she got best dress. I assume a friend or family baked the cake, b/c WOW. This also ignites my "your precious snowflake is'nt adorable " at weddings ire. It's a sad commentary on manners(or lack thereof); when the bride has to interrupt her ceremony to tell you to get your meandering on the altar child in check. Butterfly/Dragon theme-for a kid's b-day party, not a wedding. She was supposed to be having passed canapes and finger foods, all of a sudden there was a buffet and Asian drummers. Yeah right. I feel the same about butterflies as I do fish in the centerpieces, not "classy" or original by any stretch of the imagination. Rocker chick's wedding, beautifully decorated space, elegant gown, food looked good, hot groom,-WTF happened? Low balled. The Ethiopian wedding was pretty spectacular. Food looked good, she looked good, and it looked like everyone had a good time. Last place? No.
  23. I think Julie Chen was a little taken aback when Donny mentioned his "likeability" in their interview. Just struck me as an odd thing to say about yourself when the image he crafted was of a simple, modest man. I also was glad that she called him out about his social game, which was nonexistent. Christine's family should have refused, or barring that; not cooperated with the program. Her husband was just pitiful, I could barely stand to watch him.The Mother should have said NOTHING. I found Cody's Father to be sort of an asshole.
  24. I know. Sometimes I watch this show and think, why don't you take that money and put it in your kid(s) college funds? Why not go to a JP and then take the family to Disneyworld or something? I can see if you've got bucks to spare, the go ahead and have that bash. Don't go on FW and poor me yourself when you lose, nobody feels sorry for you. It is their ego that gets them on this show, not a desire for a honeymoon. Sometimes I just am astounded that people go on this show at all when their weddings are mediocre at best. Whose been blowing smoke up them where they would think they would be contenders to win a competition of creative or luxurious(looking at you every greek bride) weddings? Also I guess I'm not romantic but is it an in joke among production to have one of the bride's say on each episode. "I could see how much love there was between them", as the couple is saying their vows? Gosh, I guess that's the time to really look like you're into them-
