Boo Boo

I was married for 22 years when my husband died at 52 of cancer; my daughter was 14 at the time. So when she uses the Richard died excuse, I want to throttle her. She uses death as a weapon, as an excuse for being a haggard old drunk. I know people that actually have lost children and don't act like that. So really, fuck her.

Just watching this episode. Cynthia all hot and bothered because she wants everyone to say she's the most beautiful, most sexy, best butt out of the group. She's ridiculous.

Dion is really attractive. Daniel looks like an ex porn-star with a bad coke habit.

Dorinda doesn't look like she's actually done aerobics in the last 20 years much. And wow, Brandi without any makeup on looks so horrible. Her skin looks so bad and to me, she looks the oldest out of all of them -- including Vicki. And Vicki and Tamra without foundation on also look odd. I'm convinced that if you have fillers in your face, you only look good with makeup on.

Are there people out there that still really consider Alexia the "Cuban Barbie" ? She looks hard, turned her face into a bad combo of the Joker and Miss Piggy. And horrendous taste in clothing.

Guerdy's voice is so irritating.

I know people seem to love Alexia, but she's an awful person IMO. I just got done watching the scene with Todd, Peter, Frankie. She could not name ONE fucking thing she has done for Frankie. She couched just letting this kid do nothing all day with her being "protective." Um, I don't think a protective mother would allow for a kid with his issues to be alone with a violent jerk of a son Peter. I'm a stoner, and I love weed to help me relax, sleep and get the giggles. I would never get a kid with the problems he has stoned. Sure, weed probablly would help him to some extend, provided it is carefully administered and the right kind (you can get high CBD strains, or just plain old CBD flower). Alexia makes excuses after excuses so she can continue to dump Frankie on Peter so she can go out and party.

I seriously was about to post the same phrase, "low-rent Iman."

Ha I see David Silver every time he's on the screen. Plus he strikes me as the guy who is charming until you bed him and then he becomes a completely different person.

Carolina's "husband" is far better looking than her.

It's hard for me to get worked up over any of this since all the drama seems to be producer-driven shit. Same thing each season: the culturally mismatched couples; the non-American who is expected to be a nanny to the American's child/children; the couples that move into the American's parents' home and drama ensues with the parents; one partner cheated; the friends that ask intrusive questions; the people that can't pay for anything but want the fanciest of rings, wedding venues; the unrealistic career quests; the wannabe musicians trying to promote their bands. This show went from feeling like a documentary to producer-driven formulaic conflicts.

It's interesting to me -- the people that loved Crystal first season and though Sutton was out of touch with the "I don't see color" seem to be thinking Crystal's "dark" comment are dangerous. I do agree -- the way Crystal went about this is wrong, and to essentially suggest on national TV that Suttton is a racist and having to drag out what was said is wrong. I wonder if Sutton has more support though now because she (and Garcelle) are the only ones who take Erika on.

The difference between Kyle's tacky AF fashion in her new store and Sutton's fashion was hilarious. Sutton's store probably thrives while Kyle will be closing another soon.

I'm not one of those that have disliked Kyle, but she's overanimated this season in her TH's for one, but she also seems to be getting off on the "I'm so empathetic I'm ugly crying." Also, yay, another opening of a store with tacky AF Kyle style that will close just like the others have.

Same! But I've never bought into the worship of Beth as a character. She often brings some comic relief, but I also got tired of her all knowingness too.

I'm surprised that there ever was date certain/episode certain end of a popular show like this which made me think there would be sequels.

What's funny is how much I loved Sterling's portrayal of him and then even he started to irritate me with his ultra suaveness.

I really despise the character of Jack, the fallacy of this perfect love story, how Randall's only daughter that seems to matter is Deja. I ended up not liking Sterling Brown and his uber cool portrayal of Randall. I even started despising Beth's all knowingness and Rebecca's doe-eyed looks. Nicky of course is now Mr. Well Adjusted Humorous man after a faked death and PTSD. And no man can get over Kate for some reason despite seeming so joyless in every episode. This episode of TIU really stunk, in my view. But I'll miss TIU nevertheless!

Ha ha, exactly. And it will be that the Ophthalmologist was so moved by a Jack Pearson speech, complete with the lemonade mantra, that he goes onto cure childhood blindness owing all of his success to Jack Pearson.

Good point about the housing prices. Although he gave the reason that there were too many "memories" or something like that -- the inference was him bedding a shit ton of women there, so that's what made me think there's something else at play. Plus O strikes me as someone who would've bragged about making a killing off selling the house if that was the reason they are living in her apartment.

So O sells his house to live an apartment? After basically berating Katina for not being where he is at in life? Nothing about that makes sense and makes me wonder if he was behind on house payments and it foreclosed.

My late husband was talking to his his mother who died six months before him. He also told people that we were going on a vacation and our daughter was 8 (she was 14 at the time). I'm not a spiritual person; but I think the dying brain does a life in review when it's a slow death.

By big groan in this episode beyond Kate being an international teacher superstar was that the kid who lived while Jack dies had his whole family mantra be the words of the irreplaceable evidently Jack Pearson AND then goes on to cure Alzheimer's, the same disease Rebecca dies from. It's too Seinfeld circle-ish.

I'm torn between finding this episode wonderfully written and horribly cliche. The writers seem obsessed with the love of a lifetime trope.

I'm so sorry about your son and my heart goes out to you and his young children. I know grief as well, and so does my daughter as my husband died when she was 14. She does not remember her father as a perfect, saintly person and I'm happy for that. It's important for her to remember he was human, just like she is. He was a wonderful guy, a great dad, and she remembers him for that. But she does not hold him up to be the most incredible, perfect human that ever lived and she doesn't hold her friends, her boyfriend up to an impossible standard that no one could possibly meet. And again, I'm so sorry about your son. I can't even begin to image how painful that is. Hope you have a great support system around you, as well as his family.
