Me, too. But I was shocked watching Antiques Roadshow to see Jill Zarin and her daughter (Ali?) on it.

That is exactly her vibe! And whose Christmas tree did she mug for her hair ornament??? Aaron's "jumpsuit" was really sad. I actually liked his raincoat, but that tragic undergarment was so much worse than Coral's (which I didn't really hate -- I actually kinda liked that it was a bit quirky and had different fabrics). I enjoyed the Russian spy Patty more than I should have.

I forgot I was going to comment on this! When the "housewives" first walked into the workroom, I told my sister she was walking like a draught horse.

Yeah, and as has been mentioned, Luann actually worked as a model when she was young, so she knew how to work it. I saw that, too, It was meandering all around her butt. Ha! I mentioned this to my sister, and I don't need to watch the clip...I can replay ever nuance of that "walk" in my memory. And it makes me laugh hysterically every time. The only RH show I ever watched was RHONY, and that was so long ago that Bethenny and Kelly were still on. Chasity's reaction to me was so over the top it almost seemed fake, but it was definitely a 13 year old's reaction

Oh, that's right. Esparza also had Basque ancestry, which is not surprising considering where that town that his family was in for four hundred years.

Apparently, she had been raised to think she had NA ancestry, and she was very involved with the tribe, and they considered her one of the them, but the DNA showed she had no actual NA ancestry. It's a touchy subject in the native community. As far as I understand it, if the tribe considers you a member, you're a member. And that's completely different from "being on the rolls." And Chang and Esparza were probably 100% Korean, and 100% European (with an emphasis on Spain) respectively.

Yeah. I was thinking Rebecca Hall could be in the DAR! So could I, but it's not a group I'm that interested in belonging to. That whole Lee Daniel story with Rufus Hunter was confusing as heck! My sister kept replaying that bit and pausing on the tree links. I'm pretty sure there was no explicit incest. Sounds like he was just "having relations" with a mother and daughter, but neither were related to him. Unless I'm still confused. 🤪

Loved the Rebecca Hall/Lee Daniel episode. What a twisty history Hall has had! That's wonderful that they could tie up all those loose ends. It was also kind of funny that both of them had claims of Native American ancestry in the family, but the DNA proved it wrong.

Thanks! I meant to include the image, but got distracted.

I forgot to mention Mychal Knight's (RIP) coffee filter dress. When Chasity (?) mentioned not knowing WTF to do with them, his dress came to mind.

O.k. my sister is watching the episode in the other room. Kristina is talking about the poison crystals and her dead parrot. What the wuh???

I kinda like this idea. Maybe one episode per season to start with? It's gotta be better than making a matching outfit for a dog.

Yah. Even though I strongly disagree with Elaine's opinion of this group as the BEST EVAH, this was probably the most consistently successful unconventional materials challenge results they've ever had (nods to candall's post above). Of course, this particular challenge seems like it was earlier in most other seasons, so the odds for someone flopping badly were higher then.

I don't hate it, but it always reminds me of kwashkiorkor.
