Back Atcha

She also said that they spoke (texted?) often and Lara was so excited...saying all kinds of complimentary things--looking forward to working together. So maybe Lara doesn't communicate well. Is our PRIMETIMER main page EVER going to change? It's fairly worthless after all these months.

She said she was essentially conned by Lara, who called and messaged her OFTEN with good words, acting excited that they would be working together. Tzarina had expectations that were dashed, she thought Lara had changed. Sadly, no.

And displaying it for television...unless THAT's why you packed your "beads," etc. "Fondling," a funny visual. Melanoma AND COVID.

From the 'net: A source is alleging Lindsay Hubbard and her boyfriend Turner Kufe, who is the father of her two-month-old daughter, have split. Oh, no! Poor thing. I assume I'll have to watch her prance around this season too.

ALSO...What charter or owner or ??? left the galley in that condition? It's deplorable and someone should be charged/fined/sued BIG TIME. The show has enough viewer-witnesses; some of us are willing to testify. We'll need expenses. Surprised and THRILLED !!!

The net sez: On a small yacht with only one chef, a sous chef primarily acts as a supporting role, assisting the head chef with all aspects of galley operations including provisioning, meal preparation, plating, and maintaining food safety standards, essentially acting as a "second pair of hands" to ensure smooth service for guests and crew, while also being ready to independently cook meals when needed depending on the situation. And if Tzarina had to pull out weevelized staples, all bins, and more gross stuff (at the direction of the captain)--get on her hands knees to make sure everything is clean and sanitary, the sous chef should be doing the same and more. Without being asked.

I didn't see that at all. He saw the boat and thought the job was more uppah clahs than it is. I thought she started out with "normal" chef/sous chef questions...which I assume would be about food. What do you like to prepare? What do you hate to prepare? Where can we help each other? Stuff like that. Instead he felt it was some too deep job interview like, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?" He misunderstood. He probably accepted the wrong job...his fault or the recruiters. They're off on the wrong FOUR feet. It won't get better.

The 'net says Gazpacho is from the Andalusian area of Spain. Maybe the guests haven't heard of Andalusia.

Yeah...it IS a look...but it's usually a more fitted jacket. Not like Tzarina's...any old black jacket won't do.

...throw up in my mouth," is what I expected to read. (Sorry Vivigirl10) When you actually wrote this... Very good! I think Andy Cohen is in love with too many of these Bravo spin-off guys (straight or gay) and keeps them around whether viewers care or not. Just as I think Craig wants a mommy-wife like the one he left behind at home, I think Shep wants a mommy who adores him like the Golden Boy he was and is to the family. The women they choose are usually too young to get it...OR to want to play along.

YEAH! Who's desperate? JT? Venita? Leva? BRAVO? Are the places presented as the "cast's" homes and apartments theirs? Venita's is SO CUTE. Do we ever see her when she isn't cleaning or gardening...or this time: cooking? One would think that by now Patricia would have a fancy small elevator installed/hidden somewhere...and RANDY is encouraged to use it.

Vania had more screen time than Shaun and Niles combined. I don't care what she says or wears; it's all annoying.

(My bolding) You're so right. Too often, disabled people are beaten or killed for much less. Maybe Niles is mimicking "successful" responses he's seen. Matilda may have some control over her husband...but not those he encounters. I'll worry. His behavior on the set isn't going to be accepted for very long in most areas of Texas. TigerLily seems savvy; I hope she talks sense to him privately. Maybe his Texas mosque friends can ease him into more "American Muslim" behavior.

I feel that he had the power and the acolytes to do just that.

Thanks, 1011101010001, I should have been precise...I didn't mean "autism alone." I think it was a big mistake for this program to select Niles without more references to his syndrome AND assistants to help him. Far-away Matilda shouldn't be his only source. I'm not a professional or even a current volunteer, but decades ago I had minor experience with kids on the spectrum--even before we said "spectrum" or had adequate help in our schools. Was she required to play the part of the Mean Girl? For years there have been complaints about her lack of knowledge of the shows where she led "telling all." There is a vast community supporting kids/adults on the spectrum. I hope the word gets out to them so there's some "organized" response. I'm just an old woman who helped in classrooms and a school for (actually) "r******* children," learning by experience...and luckily, born with sympathy, empathy, and common sense. AND...that program also needs more explanation about the culture of Adnan's country and religion. He shouldn't be allowed to SCREAM at Sunny about his (Adnan's) personal Allah. He's in America now and he's no longer in charge of anyone but himself.

Thank you, Surfgirl. I wonder WHY no one in Production...or no one with the right experience was hired for this particular "Tell All" series. Niles was given no special accommodation...and even Shaun seemed to goad on him and Adnan. I don't know WHO thought this was good TV, but not only is there no EMPATHY here ... it's either ignorance or hatefulness. I hope we've seen the end of the dangerous (televised) behavior. WHY are no other posters writing with concern about Niles' autism...except to question it? This should have been stopped by Production before it got as far as it did ... and it should NOT have been filmed. I know these shows are exploitive, but this was too much. Are we sure that "autism is not a defense"?

"Our" Catholic church. I went to the same Phoenix parish most of my life (First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage); the church wasn't built until I was 4-5 years old. I loved all the ritual and "sameness," knowing/understanding all the Latin because our prayerbooks had the left page in Latin and the right in English. The sermons never meant much to me as a kid/teenager...except when they would be begging for money (ugh!). STILL...once a year, two missionaries (the same two priests) would visit every year for a Novena. They would invite us to nine evenings where they would tell us about the poverty in the country they were assigned, ask for money, and then PREACH! OMG, is this what preaching is? Hallelelujah! Those two priests had a packed house every one of those nine nights. We didn't have a car and were used to the 2-mi walk to church every Sunday and school every weekday. This, though, was at night (paved road), but no sidewalks. We walked in gravel...happily! Yeah--shock, I never heard a spiritually rousing sermon in my Catholic church into those missionaries flew into town!!!

Along with the excuses ... surprising excuses on all kinds of TrumpOptics from some surprising places. Maybe a regular VIEW segment could be Alyssa's presenting President Trump's daily ratings.

Probably over-acting trying make sure Daddy remembers she's a Trump TOO. We could use a whole network (temporarily) just for the lip-reading of Vance and President Trump at the recent events. Inquiring gossips want to know!

Oh, nooooooooo! Leave him alone. Let the kid be a normal college guy...I hope he's not wearing that Trump Bros UNATTRACTIVE hairstyle at school. I felt sorry for him at the few Inauguration scenes I saw while channel-surfing. Cool coat, though.

Thank you, Shrek! Why don't these know-it-alls ask their older relatives about recuperation from THEIR hip surgeries! There will be some horror stories!!! I think the hip replacement surgery was 12/14...36 days before Inauguration Day. Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is 84 years old. I would bet she's still using a walker. Apparently she's expected to wobble through the snow to attend the Inauguration of a human who has been nothing but horrible to her/about her and her family. Here's some info about recuperation: Within first month after surgery is when the real work begins. You might experience pain as the soft tissues heal. After the second month: Most patients have regained much of their strength and endurance. Third+months: You should be about 60% recovered. At six months: Most patients can resume normal activities. 1 year: You should be about 95% recovered. Full recovery can take up to two years. Factors that affect recovery Activity level: How active you were before surgery can affect how quickly you recover. Age!! Your age can affect how quickly you recover.

DITTO on Joy/Anna. I'm not of Alyssa's political persuasion)s), but I came to appreciate her calm, common sense approach. Until now. WHAT THE FUDDLE HAPPENED TO HER ??? She even LOOKS mean! Hope this isn't an effect of IVF ....

I'm old. I pick these two lanes. Dated in the late 50s/mid-60s. Remained a virgin without assault/battery. Dated again in the 80s/90s. MANY of us flirted with our platonic friends. Vice versa. Dates with no hanky-panky, a bit-o-kissing, but nothing serious. I actually still have some of those platonic friends from the 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s. I'm old.

Is "a storyline" their relationship?
