Boo Boo

That was so freaking hilarious. She's such a narcissist that she can't even admit to being a narcissist! Also, Brauny looked like shit at the reunion. Sorry, honey, that didn't look like lesbian chic. It looked more like horsey chic. Her long face and weird chin were only highlighted even more with the stupid fake hair, pony.

I'd be willing to bet Shannon has had a drinking problem since she first drank and it's wasn't her bad marriage at fault. She most definitely needs intensive therapy.

Totally agree! I wonder if she just chalked it up to: well, she was drunk? Along with the revelation that she hits her husband, offering a teen drugs ought to be fireable by Bravo. Instead, I think Bravo feels like her antics make her interesting. It would not surprise me to see her get a spin-off show.

When you title search someone, talk to their ex-husband, you deserve a gang bitchslap. She deserves it based on Shannon's reveal alone.

That's my guess. Maybe Shannon chalked that up to her doing that when she wasn't sober and decided to keep a lid on it. Whatever the timing and whatever the motive for the reveal now, it's fucking sick. Would Bravo keep a cast member's husband on the show if he was offering up drugs on a text to a teen?

Right. I'm being facetious but this show is really going for the soap opera tropes so I'm expecting that there will be a "she didn't really die...he just thought she died i.e., Tonya Roberts..." and ends up showing up at Randall's new house!

Actually, fuck right off Braunwyn. I'm wondering if Stella didn't tell her that until now? If it were Sean or Shane doing the same thing, we'd all be thinking they are trying to groom the kid. I'm not so sure that isn't what Braunwyn was doing. There's zero reason to text a castmate's teen daughter to begin with but to offer up alcohol [edit: didn't realize it was drugs she was offering up!] is extremely creepy. Shannon's kid was that much on her mind that she texted her. Now why is that?

Braunwyn texting her daughter about the "good stuff " is really, really concerning to me. If it were a man on the cast, we'd all be wondering if this man is trying to groom Shannon's daughter. I'm wondering whether this was the ultimate goal. That may sound like sick speculation, but none of us would text a teen offering alcohol. [edit: I didn't realize the "good stuff" meant drugs -- even worse!]

I definitely think this is the Green Acres storyline they're all. I wish I could say that Natalie is a producer-driven act, but I fully buy that she's purposefully taking out the fact her life didn't turn out like she planned on her "low-IQ, fat, drunk" backup plan.

Well, based on the show alone we know: Brandon is an adult with a full time job living at their home. Brandon's fiance does not have a full time job and is now living at their home. Brandon's parents are upset that they apparently do not much of anything except complain they aren't allowed to be in the same room so they can fuck. When they do fuck in hot tubs, they don't clean up after themselves. Apparently he never cleans up after himself when he uses his parent's hot tub. You know what will help them get out of this terrible living situation? Move out. If he's got a full time job, he can afford his own place. If he can't afford his own place, his option is: Brandon helps out on the farm. Julia helps out on the farm. Brandon gets a part-time job so he can afford his own place. It's pretty simple. They stopped being guests when they have no other place to live with no plans to move out. If they don't want to be told what to do, they get another place. Being a parent doesn't mean your adult children move the fiance in they can't afford and you have to wait on an able bodied adults.

Guests stay for a few days, a week then leave. Her son is not a guest. Neither is his fiance now. They are living there indefinitely. If son expects not to have to help them, while living their rent free, then he should move out with his fiance. But then there would't be this Green Acres story line.

Exactly. I can't get mad at the parents mainly because I think most of it is producer antics. But living rent free at that house? They ought to be doing something. If Julia is upset at her living arrangements and being on the farm, maybe do more research on who you're going to be living with before you make the trip. But of course, this wouldn't help the storyline.

Thanks everyone for the accent anecdotes! My first reaction to Hai and "this house is yours" was that the writers dug up an Asian stereotype. I appreciate all of your comments!

Right. There's a reason why she isn't procreating and living in the city with a Ukraine. She needs to remind her of this. I'm hoping the 90 day paycheck for Mike makes being around this joyless person a little more tolerable.

So basically Natalie is taking out her frustrations of a shitty life she has built for herself on Mike. He'll never be good enough for her. He's not hot enough, thin enough, smart enough for her. She's just biding her time before she finds the version of an American that has hot enough, thin enough, smart enough for her. Then he'll dump her for a younger hotter version of her when she hits 40.

Right. The dumbest fucking thing ever. What's the purpose of this "This house is yours, here ya go" in the ultimate plot twist? Will Randall be inside the house one day and Laurel wanders in because she really isn't dead just like his Uncle Nicky? Meanwhile, is it me or should Hai had less of an accent after being in the US for most of his life? Why is he still talking like he just arrived to America?

I'll have to watch the scene again, but I was thinking her issues weren't the right nows but the idea of that being her life with the children

Did Hai ever verify that Laurel died? Or are the writers going to come up with another story that Laurel is alive again? Hai was wrong! He only thought she died! This storyline is stupid. I don't need the writers to reinvent the history of the Pearsons. Is there really nothing that interesting about their current lives that we need to revise storylines to the point where the dead are undead and then die again?

I thought the discussion was larger than the current pandemic period and that's what she's reacting to being tag-alongs at whatever movie set he's on.

I thought the same thing: does Madison even have a job? If she's not working, why not travel with your actor husband? Then again, she could have some really challenging career like all of them on this show that don't ever seem to have the constraints of a job.

Nevermind! Edited dumb comment

I only wanted to see ex-boyfriends when I looked fit and happy so it's hard for me to imagine someone obese who wasn't obese is going to confront her former boyfriend/abuser and talk about how great she now has it in life and that she's winning.

I'm starting to think that Shannon thinks she's just quirky and that everyone thinks its funny or cute. She's wrong!

OMG, I fried my hair so bad in my teens through home perms!

Based on this board view's on Braunwyn alone, I think that actually did happen.
