Grifter Lives

She does have cankles. And her thighs and knees do look enormous. The leggings and clodhopper slippers just accentuate them more. She manages to find every form of tree stump footwear. To me, it looks like she's listening to the dog. So, of course, her media post then becomes self-praise disguised as empowering (i.e., lame) affirmations.

Brandon couldn't keep it up.

Totally renegade of Shaun to ask Brandon about his sexual performance. Like she doesn't force these awkward, inappropriate questions into every tell-nothing. No wonder it has to go behind a paywall. What is TLC proving?

This. And we'll pay for her vapid interviews - especially if we see teasers to remind us how useless she is.

Jovi's 29 or so, and Yara's 24. There is a big difference between mid- and late-20s, but neither of them is necessarily mature. So, why are they talking about friends her age?

That was his trip to Ukraine, after all - but he did get the morning alone to drink beer, when he ran out in his pajama bottoms.

That was the fastest meal ever - appetizer big enough for two, main course and root beer float all in 3 minutes.

Also, when did Julia arrive? Their 90 days are tolling, and you can bet that Betty knows the exact minute of 0001 hours of Day 90.

Natalie has to play coquette, because her sneering has been made more difficult by her inflated lips and has been ineffective on Mike. Ordering the hot tea in a brewery and then commenting on Mike's ordering a beer is just more passive-aggressive nagging.

A son is a son until he takes a wife. . .

Brandon and Julia should just announce that they're getting married tomorrow, and then do it. However, the wedding date would conflict with Betty and husband's simultaneous coronaries.

Mother's Day is a floating holiday. The anniversary and Mother's Day will coincide once every 7 or 8 years. And, Julia, since she won't use birth control, will be the guest of honor on future Mother's Days.

Pop-Pop must be 80-100-years old, if Betty is 60, and the father is 70.

Natalie has her hook - Move to Seattle or closer to Seattle for his job. Uncle Beau can live on and manage the farm. But then, TLC wouldn't have its drama. And, Mike still is carrying too much debt and Seattle real estate is expensive.

Maybe it's for Julia the bodybuilder/go-go dancer. I'm surprised that she's not antsy from missing workouts.

Wasn't the "Home is Where. . ." portrait in Brandon's room last week? They're missing the opportunity to have sex right now, but at least we don't have to see it.

I like Rebecca, but what is going on with her roots, flat hair and too-tight jeans? Did she not look in the mirror?

Where does a carrot rank?

Exactly - every time I flipped through channels this weekend, I saw the TLC had countdown clock for the free Discovery+ trial, and Pillow Talk with either Loren & Alexi or Tim & Veronica. I was relieved that I don't have to hear their vocal fry or insipid commentary. I don't see how those promos were a sell. I realized that they are already past their expiration dates.

Yet, she kicked out Uncle Beau. Maybe she is aiming to upgrade to the barn, since she's deemed his pre-fab home unacceptable.

She and her plastic surgery are not going to age well. But, Jovi's drinking will age him faster.

She offers mesotherapy, HGC injections, and Ipamorelin/Sermorelin injections that she used on herself in her introduction scene. All these procedures are disputed for effectiveness. I don't think any of them are FDA-approved.

Her voice sounds much older than her stated age - 52. She also has a Michigan accent.

She's not a doctor. Leida is more of a doctor than Stephanie. Yet, they both are employed in medspas. In Stephanie's case, she owns it.

He wasn't allowed to have sex. She is the designated approved-by-the-parents future wife. Tonight, Betty will laugh as she compares how inept Julia was, as opposed to Aspen.
