Back Atcha

She's a good-looking female and so far her looks have provided better jobs than she deserves. Probably needs to stick to working for men. You're SO RIGHT, "She talks a good game." This time there are witnesses...worldwide.

This is what Olivia had to do to make it work. That has to get old though, and I’m sure Olivia needed a full grown man. I think my comment was about Micah and his new (controlling?) girlfriend ... not Ethan/Olivia.

Kind of? His early life was nothing but control by a woman (mama). Sadly, it's probably the most comfortable arrangement for him. I agree. He's actually dangerous--and a stunted child. HE'S the one who needs therapy, although I don't think he understands how to listen...really listen. His mother was in such control that he didn't grow up seeing a marriage (or even a friendship) that allowed two people to love, support, and defend each other.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be--world without end. AHHH-men!

This was my experience (born in 1940 and raised VERY Catholic). "The pill" was FDA approved when I was 20...and not immediately available. I "couldn't" have taken it anyway. I attended 12yrs of Catholic schools and don't think I was any more naive than most of the teens of my era. Fear of pregnancy, God, nuns, and parents is the only thing that kept most of my friends and me from doing anything to CAUSE pregnancy. FEAR!

This portrayal on national TV might catch the attention of the appropriate authorities in his area. Maybe some agency that can DO SOMETHING will actually help him. We don't know if his mother diagnosed her own condition (and she could be right); maybe someone will intervene and help her too.

I AGREE! She's such a narcissist that she'll ENJOY her portrayal on television. She'll wonder what all the fuss is about. I'd like to meet HER mother! Something Ashley has passed to her daughter is lack of concern for ANYONE'S time or schedule. Not only is Aniyah always late, she never apologizes. I don't think she understands how maddening it is. Does she care about Dae-Dae's needs, wants, time, and baby's name? From the 'net: Narcissism is a personality trait that can include an excessive focus on oneself, a lack of empathy, and a need for admiration. It can also involve an inflated sense of self-importance, a sense of entitlement, and fantasizing about achievements. While everyone may exhibit some narcissistic behaviors occasionally, people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often disregard others' feelings and don't understand how their actions affect others. This unhealthy pattern of behavior can negatively impact all aspects of a person's life, including work, family, and relationships

Therapy pet? Hmmm...southwest girl (old woman) here. Haven't seen the guy, but isn't South Carolina "the South"? Never equated it with cowboys. I know there had to be working "cowboys" everywhere, but still.

With costs for childcare, appropriate work wardrobe, gas, lunches, etc., most working mothers don't "have more." Is she capable of getting a GOOD job?

It would be nice to know if Graham's mother has been DIAGNOSED* as having bipolar disorder, rather than a self-declaration. *By a licensed psychiatrist.

Alexie's 9-to-5: Here are some notes "lifted" from a 2-month-old Internet article. For “several years,” Alex has been working as a warehouse manager for Invicta Watch Group in Hollywood, Florida. Cast members are supposedly paid $1,000 to $1,500 per episode. Alex also earns extra cash by recording Cameos for his fans. He charges $30 for a personalized video, and his 4.98-star review indicates that he delivers exactly what his customers ask for. I think it was VERY WRONG, morally, and for her marriage, for Loren to downplay the amount of care she would require of Alexei. She even admitted that if she hadn't made it sound "reasonable" (not her term), he wouldn't have done it. He's not home 24/7 taking care of her and the kids. It seems like he has a full-time job...and like most working mothers, has to come home and do everything (and more). Loren has always been a pampered flower with no idea that she requires a lot from everyone. Talk about bad timing. WHY, at this time of difficulties, bring up that she needs to have a profession...something other than being a wife and mother? Wait until you're fully recovered...until you don't DEMAND so much from Alexie. Spoiled Loren will always be spoiled Loren. Wonder if she can even picture what life will be for a divorced mother of three--ex-husband in another country.

I admire Alexei. I don't read much in the way of celebrity gossip, but what I've seen of him on the show is appealing. He seems to be of good character and follows the teachings of his religion. He's a good daddy and VERY PATIENT with a needy partner.

I think Loren is using Alexei's sign-in and asking for a gift for herself. Sounds more like her way of speaking.

We have (2) vets; this one is an avian and exotic animal vet. We have a BIG Sulcata tortoise. Dr. Driggs in Mesa, AZ, made a house call--only because I couldn't lift that big lug (over 100lbs)--the tortoise, not the doctor into my car. All he needed was to have his "beak" filed down, but he was too squirmy for 84yr-old me. THAT SAID, Dr. Driggs bought a 3D printer and taught himself to make many little miracles for his avian and reptilian friends. I hope he watched and enjoyed that duck prosthesis, knowing he can probably solve many new problems now.

I GAVE UP on Shekinah and (especially) Sarper soon after I met him...but a new look for her? I'll tune in for a moment. A commitment from him? Doubtful.

By what "authoritah"?

So, Production is allowed to take "bait" from anyone without consequences? Well...Lindsey's CONSEQUENCES, of course--but anyone else?

Andy was "full of it...." Was that full of IGNORANCE? Full of B.S.? Is no one in "Production" responsible for allowing cameras to go anywhere/anytime? And if any cast member decides he/she has been defamed (libel?) by being "blindsided" by the appearance of cameras/operators, whom does he/she sue? He didn't... 1. Choose to not make a call aka, do nothing. 2. Make the call. Didn't he say he didn't call anyone?

I don't think it's all so cut and dry. Does Carl have this sort of clout...over photographers AND producers? Hubbard called the breakup “humiliating” in an exclusive November 2023 interview with Us Weekly, claiming that Radke, 39, called producers to “manipulate me into sitting down [so he could break up with me] after we’d already wrapped,” adding, “The whole world found out within 30 minutes of me.”

Andy Cohen explained that CARL doesn't have this power. He doesn't have cameras. It's up to PRODUCTION to say when and where the cameras are working. If there were cameras filming in "their apartment," perhaps it was at the suggestion or with permission of Production...not your Lapdog Yesman, Carl. the story you've repeated was more likely originated by Lindsey's PR people...to promote HER bidnesseseses. Is this Carl's production company? Is this Carl's call to make? Andy doesn't think so.

This reminds me of my ex-daughter-in-law who actually gave "a testimony" in her church. Videotaped, and published on social media. She broadcast that she "had to" leave my son and the marriage because SHE wanted children and HE did not. That's not the complete story. What happened was that he said he didn't think they should have children while they were still struggling in marriage counseling. He hadn't come to the point where he was willing to say, "I've always wanted kids; I don't think I should have them with you." SOOO...maybe Carl still wanted to get married (some day) when Lindsey asked ... just not to her at that time.

She's more grand in everything. She makes more money. She has better ideas (for his life). She's prettier and more fashionable. She's more passionate (and willing to broadcast his "shortcomings"). She's more INFLUENCIAL. She got a New Man immediately--just to prove herself to us...and herself. She SUCKS big time ... more than anyone on the series.

WHY do the producers continue to hire him. He's probably miserable to work with for them too. His/Liz's "romance" is one of them that gets the FAST-FORWARD treatment from me. Ed and Angela should ride off into the sunset together (and never return).

I watched two completely different people. I doubt if Carl's "very intentional" camera manipulation is an actual fact. Lindsay (Lindsey?) is oblivious to nothing. How many does THAT make? Pleeze, let's not watch another human be cannibalized on this show. He "hates" her now because he used to enjoy/promote her. HE feels blindsided by her chronic cruelty...he was BLINDED by her "beauty," style, and wealthy appearance (the most important things in his life).

Haven't watched it yet, but I'm SO GLAD to read this. I don't like her either. She's a dangerous angry woman. The chip(s) on her shoulders have been there ever since early childhood. Apparently nothing will help. Hope New Guy enjoys being a Whipping Boy. Hope WE don't have to watch her antics...ever again. Andy seemed (originally) to really like her; I don't think he feels the same. I'm willing to quit watching if she's a "regular" next season. Has that been proven? That HAS been proven...over and over, season after season. Bravo show after Bravo show.
