Even though I would've preferred more jail time I'm pleased as punch she's getting jail time. I think she and her minions thought she'd skate with house arrest or probation. Judge's comment was on the mark.

Theresa also said she didn't care about the TV show, that her daughters are her life.

I am not getting any work done today! But it's been worth it. Happy to see both of them go to jail.

I cannot believe how much I have looked forward to sentencing day. I came here because I felt you would all understand me, lol. I have no predictions on jail time, but I do want Theresa to serve some time in jail. Not house arrest, not probation. Without going to jail, she's going to act like this wasn't that big of a deal.

I'm amused that Kelli says these are the most talented rookies ever as we watch Breelan, Ashley and Calla make mistake after mistake. Meanwhile we barely saw Mary or Erica. I wish we could've seen the Show Group auditions. Any rookies make it? Also what happened to the old photographer? And who was point girl? I missed it.

I know reality shows aren't "real" but I thought Gordon "discovering" the mom's amazing homemade Thai food to be really poorly done. As soon as he was "what"s that delightful aroma?" (paraphrased) I knew at the end it was going to be "we've revamped the menu to include your mom's recipes!" Really, Gordon? And like someone upthread mentioned, is he sure the kitchen can handle that? They apparently couldn't NOT burn soup! I thought there were a lot of dropped threads in this episode as well. The "Dad takes out the lightbulbs" thing...the dark corrider by the rear entrance. Why did they keep showing the sign that said "rear entrance"? I thought Gordon was going to make a better sign or revamp that entrance for all the attention the sign got. Finally, Gordon was tweeting last night during the eppy and someone said he hoped we'd find out why Vanda slept until 3 every day. Gordon just said "trust me you don't want to know." Yes, Gordon, we do. Especially if it's brought up in the show a few times. Grrr.

So what are the sisters' "dreams" that they're off to pursue? Travel? Seems like they're still aimless spoiled brats. I couldn't stand either of them.

I'm wondering if it was only a 6 episode season...but rejoice! It's been renewed and is apparently doing quite well... http://jezebel.com/rejoice-fans-of-bad-plastic-surgery-botched-is-coming-1616714000/all

I swear, every single year, we have to hear how beautiful Kelli is when she strides into auditions. I know Kelli has an EP credit on this but damn, we get it Kelli, we get it, lol. I'm over Vivian this year. I didn't like her when she begged at the end of last season and this season she just seems so fake to me. Also not sure how much Melissa Rycroft I can take. I wonder if Kelli would be as "proud" of her if she hadn't won Dancing Wtih the Stars. Any other DCC who asked to come back only to quit again would be on Kelli's perennial crap list, imo.

For those of you asking about the real life case Smothered was based on, here's an article: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/1999/nov/11/boyfriend-gives-background-on-victim-in-du-pont-mu/ In the real case, the mom was a DuPont heiress. My favorite CI episode of all time is Art. I don't know why, it's the episode where CI just clicked for me and I became devoted. I think it was how the murder led to art forgery which led to an even earlier murder. And Goren speaks German. Winning!

I just can't with Tori. Everytime I watch this show, I'm struck by how completely lacking in self-awareness she is, how needy she is, and how narcisstic she is. I laughed when she was whining to Dean that he had "made a commitment" to this family. Yes, Tori, he had. He also made a commitment to Mary Jo and Jack and we all know how that turned out. I'm just gobsmacked that she really truly believes she deserves this completely charmed fairy tale life as if she's the most special princess ever. I do think they're angling for a second season; all of Tori's quasi-dramatic pronouncements of "I don't know what will happen" during her talking heads screamed "Renew us for a 2nd season and we'll string this crap out for ya, Lifetime!" I also hated those talking heads. Is that supposed to be serious, deeply hurt yet brave, courageous Tori? Because to me, it was still more whiny me, me, me Tori. And for all of Dean's "babe I love you!" "Babe you're the best thing that ever happendd to me!" pronouncements, I don't believe him. I do not get this feeling of overwhelming love from Dean to Tori. I wonder if Tori picks up on that and that's why she's such a needy insecure mess. Although I suspect she'd still be one even if he was madly, passionately in love with her.
