Back Atcha

The same for me. When I was moving away the day after I got married (the only kid (24) still living at home with my divorced mother), at the door my mother said, "Aren't you going to kiss me good-bye?" Sadly, I said, "I can't," because I couldn't. Why didn't she just lean in and hug or kiss me?? She had never hugged or kissed us (perhaps she did when we were babies). I made it a point to change my attitude and my life. My sons (in their 50s) are extremely comfortable with affection ... and the times changed too-which made things easier.

Are there more bonuses for the number of times one cries onscreen?

W O R D !!! Maybe there was a $1,000 bonus for Tayshia if she could get him to say it. She was gonna send him home anyway.

Hey, Pedro...before making a snarky comment I decided to learn what YOUR garter belts are called...but instead found something MUCH BETTER for you: Tucked Trunks.

Oh, and Miss Karen...fashion arbiter for all continents. Helpful information for River's wedding that you'll be comanding so you all can have TLC income for another season: . This is a garter belt: THIS is a GARTER...the type generally worn by a bride on her wedding day:

Chantel's brain is obviously on slo-mo, but her face is fascinating. Nothing moves but her mouth. False eyelashes highlight DEAD EYES! They both think they're so brilliant, so sophisticated...yet if we rub their IQ's together I doubt if we can get a spark above 100. Cancel this slop for an uplifting look into child molesters or human traffickers. Anything would be better.

Surely KIM will have some surprising offers from strangers--maybe even some old friends--after appearing on TV with MATTY AND MOMMY. How did she ever become interested in him in the first place? Maybe she's an actress Mommy paid to get on this series.

Haven't finished watching last night's show and hadn't seen the "Family Chantel" shows. HOW does this dreck stay on the air? I do believe it's scripted--by Mother Chantel, hair model/fashionista. Who else would come up with such irritating storylines and ridiculous dialogue...not to mention creating scenes where the focus is on HER? As usual, these TLC "stars" go to another country and ridicule the food, sanitation, customary fashion, and even "traditional" wedding events--not to mention starting trouble/continuing gossip at the first event. I'm stunned that I watched...and embarrassed that I will finish this episode. Love the slow speaking modulation of Mother/Daughter Chantel (not). Is that supposed to be sophisticated?

What about those two bitches (Matty and Mommy) sitting on the sofa and demeaning Kim (behind her back) about sitting on a sofa she didn't really like to watch Kelly's television, enjoying the first class meals--and snacks...like Tillamook Cheese ($9.98 for 2lbs at WalMart). Run, Kim, RUN! Don't leave a trail and sell that Tiffany's ring (or was just the BOX a Tiffany?).

Yeah, if you're so "traditional," Annette, BACK OFF and let your the bride, your son, the bride's sisters and HER family do ALL the planning and paying. Back off, relax, get the right meds, and start saving for that Vegas rental car. (Oh! And your RED paisley/brocade tango gown.)

Maybe Matt's mom is ON him 24/7 so he doesn't have a chance to wonder about his sexuality ... or to act on any urges she doesn't prefer.

I wondered about all the SHORTS worn by this season's Bachelorette, shorts, shorts, shorts ... but then the photographer on the Zac/Tayshia "wedding" photoshoot wore short-shorts too. THEN...JoJo wears shorts. Do the "stars" get to choose the clothing styles?

Even if they DO end up married, I agree this was a heavy price...that should NEVER have been paid on network television. This is obviously a vulnerable guy (not vun-erable) who doesn't belong on this show. Production is masterful at manipulating the weaknesses...and they push Tayshia to do the same for "good TV". Sorry I ever watched. How did he get past their "professional" psychologist(s)?

So interesting RH. THANKS! He went our "local" community college: Mesa, Arizona ... then went to work 160mi away in Flagstaff AZ. He doesn't seem like "hospital managment" material in areas that deal with healthcare. I know, I know...we NEED food.

What type of "management" job could he possibly have? How TINY are the hospitals that employ him? How SMALL are the towns? What do the executives who hire him think of his leadership qualities NOW?

CREEEPY to the extreme! Doesn't Matt have any friends who will give him some straight talk? Same conclusion I've come to.

Years overdue...perhaps decades overdue. Mental health issues (many). Dermatological issues. Boundary issues. Does she even WATCH herself? She's so adamant about being correct...and she's 87% wrong-wrong-wrong. She HAS ONE...he's afraid to show us what color his face is.

Tango, me neither. But I've been to weddings where there were mother-son dances...and my son and I participated. He chose the music because his favorite dance (in 2000) was a country two-step. We were a hit!

That train left the station the moment a baby boy was born.

Her condition seems much more than then worst cases of rosacea; I'll bet she was shocked to see her complexion's various Shades of Red when she watched herself on television. She needs a dermatologist...but mostly therapist who can prescribe anti-anxiety meds. Her complexion, her NEED TO CONTROL, and her family members will benefit.

Matt's mom is just TOO DESPERATE to have her own television show. I'll bet she has tried every reality and game show since the 70s and this one finally bit. I don't know if I dislike HER or the producers more.

Let's hope the only remaining reason is a few bucks from TLC ... NO ONE is worth putting up with these crazies...and those "boys" will always put mommy first.

NOTHING...apparently. Maybe Olivia has had to tell him how "humans" work. He probably knows about cows and chickens. Then, after Moriah's and Micah's "serious talk with the parents," we see the father trying to discuss that topic with the oldest boy at home. FAIL!

He had no idea what modeling was. He went into "the city," and someone suggested that he should be a model. I don't really recall what transpired, but it seemed like fun at first -- and now it seems like easy money. He had always done physical labor to earn money. One of the good posters can tell it well. Everything's temporary.

I'll bet when some hear "O Solo Mio," they'll truly believe it was STOLEN from their hymnals!
