Grifter Lives

Starting with Humpty Dumpty

Jennie acts like this is their first chance to get away - as if he needed his family's scorn in order to do so.

Jenny was as cute as Natalie, riding that suitcase. That's what all mature wives/girlfriends do.

Dr. Obang and the thirsty nurse recommended it to her post-plastic surgery.

Maybe Libby can fit this version of "Happy Birthday" on her children's album. It fits with her family.

Angela needs to wear a "B Grateful" shirt to complement her yelling.

Aren't these different grandchildren?

"It takes a lot longer than most people think." Is this music coach assuring success?

I get the sense that this season is the lowest-budget option and Sharp is just repackaging already-filmed, unused footage,

Elizabeth wants to become the Muse of Nursery Rhymes, but never told her mother the talent agent before the Professional Singer happened to see a keyboard in her at-home studio. Maybe the mother is too focused on planning her own birthday party to have noticed and advance Libby's lifelong talent. (Also, Jenn's ex-husband is a radio personality who would probably have connections in the recording industry.) In the bonus scenes from the first episode, Chuck and Andrrrrei were at the barber shop, where all heart-to-heart conversations must occur. Chuck said Libby was so great at karaoke that a stranger complimented her one night. Chuck also said that he wants to return to the dating scene. I think that the family will do anything and everything to stay in front of the cameras. Chuck is chasing a spot on The Single Life. And, Libby is trilling the "r" in Andrrrei's name more than ever, and Andrrrei is playing up his angry outbursts.

Why wasn't Danielle in that photo?

Nick has him mesmerized, just like the women.

I bet you that they professionally choreographed that first dance.

"You're the type of people scammers look for." Yeah - Gullible idiots. Derrick's face is a neon light.

So, they get the birthstone ring for the engagement, but nothing symbolic for the wedding?

It's always rooftops with these people. I estimate 10-15 guests.

This would be a good time for Dannnielle to tell Garrick that she's leaving him, too, claiming that she was only in it for the polygamy.

Usually, God talks directly to Derrick. This time, He's being cryptic, and it's stumping the Merrifields. Dannielle immediately ruled out that Bert conned them, though.

Danielle: I couldn't do this without you guys. Of course not. She may overtake Nick as thinker of big thoughts.

"Verbalizing our commitment in front of everyone" Nick: "It's so hard for me to put into words how I feel." At least he has the rhinestone shoes.

Good thing that they didn't invest in Portuguese lessons

Kara, who initially declared herself a cougar, seems to closely associate with Jenny: [Jenny]'s too old to put up with that (Sumit's mother's histronics about their marriage. I wouldn't want to be like that . . . 70 and being judged (?) To which Guillermo replies, "My family wouldn't treat you like that."

Kara (after the coffee shop fight): It all makes much more sense . . . I mean, what happened at the tell-all. The tell-all was filmed in mid-June. The Bile HEA season was filmed in December. That's 6 months of latent and open disdain and hostility between the wives. Bile is a real leader. And, Kolini's calling Shaheeda "baby mama first wife" is so offensive. Is that how she sees Kalani, since Kolini was the self-appointed father of Kalani's kid (Buchanan?) before Asuelo came along?

Molly's screeching as if Cynthia were there. But, she and Cynthia spent many episodes talking about all of Cynthia's significant plastic surgery and fillers, etc. Molly's much more tolerable when she's with Kelly.

Kara really is a fan of the franchise. She cites specific incidents from past seasons pretty easily.
