I like when they splice in his explanation of the surgery with decades-old footage from the original documentary. I get it - why subject him to repeating himself? But they really should have switched over to it as voice over with diagrams or something, because it's glaring that it's very old footage. The sound editing has always been messy for the show. They clearly splice together audio from different times and the pitch of the person's voice can switch all over the place in what is presented as a single discussion. Room tone, pitch -- those two sentences were not recorded at the same time, let alone as consecutive sentences. It's especially obvious that they rerecord some of the pleas to Dr. Now when they've missed their goal. A woman will be speaking in a perfectly normal tone and then there's a cut to Dr. Now and suddenly there's a high pitched: "Please give me another chance, I know I can do it!" There would be absolutely no reason to cut away from the patient's face pleading for a second chance if it was audio recorded live. Makes you wonder what they really said in the moment.

Such visceral and varied reactions! No means no, but when you have a touchy feely grope-y friendship with a guy you've slept with and your new relationship is present AND all your behavior out of your new relationship's sight is being filmed for national television so you know he will see it, renegotiation of the "platonic" relationship boundaries should happen. And for most people, that means the gropey stuff has to come to an end. Gary was not the only person initiating this behavior. He's a dog, but you don't let a dog keep humping your leg and shrug and say "I said no, nothing else I can do." There is no power dynamic by which she needs to fear him or a very frank, sober declaration that the physical horseplay has to stop. (Because it wasn't just horseplay, it was sexual horseplay/foreplay.) I think that like Kate in her final season, Daisy is burned out and needs to do something else now. I'm not sure how future guests (Bravo charters or not) would appreciate the contempt she showed for the stupid "bullshit" guest involvement stuff. Of course these relationships are shallow and they're simping for tips, but most seem to do so good naturedly as part of the gig... until they can't hide it any more. Ben, Kate, now Daisy. Barely recognized the other stews. Gary was Gary and I think they need to retire him. The chef was nice and I hope she comes back.

This game is weirdly skewed in favor of an older contestant who has kept up with current pop culture. It's not that Jane was necessarily smarter but that she was old enough to remember people from the 80s, let alone the 70s, and the younger contestants needed that resource (for a while, anyway). Last season - who was going have a clue about DEAN MARTIN? I suppose if I were cast I could cram by reading all the current entertainment mags to figure out who's who, but somebody under 30 isn't going to have many resources for celebrities who peaked 20 yrs before they were born.

The writing is a bit weird - most of the time discovering a cancerous tumor you otherwise wouldn't have known about is a GOOD thing. They may have a case that medics repeatedly examined him and repeatedly failed to escalate it to more comprehensive examination, but I'm not sure really what COVID protocols have to do with it, unless the only reason the medics were on board was precisely for COVID compliance. So their reasoning may be "If this happened under normal working conditions, Sig would have brought him for treatment/Nick would have requested going in for treatment much sooner out of an abundance of caution, but because there were production company medics on board, they both relied on their expertise, and their failure to diagnose correctly turned out to delay critical care." If I were on a jury, I'd consider that a pretty good argument. The captains over the years have seemed to take people back to town when they've been ill and it's not something clear cut that they can deal with on board like a sprain or a wound. But if a trained medical person assures you it's not serious you might very well just stay in bed with an upset stomach while your appendix is bursting. I wonder if there's footage of all the interactions with the medics since they were filming at the time. It would have been an interesting storyline if it didn't become evidence of their possible culpability.

Definitely hope that whatever court officer that oversees expungement of cases sees that video. Especially with two kids in the house - she'd probably shoot one of them sneaking in at dawn after leaving their girlfriend's house. I still enjoy Atlanta, and will hate to see Kandi go, but they need to reboot. I liked the preview for NYC - there was one line that made me think of SLC's "you smell like hospital" for sheer weirdness. The fun of these shows in the early years was analyzing previously unknown eccentric people putting on wealthy facades for tv. Once all their real life stories are out and they battle for storylines, it eventually devolves into drunken screaming matches. I want real moments, like Kim Z snidely remarking in an early talking head that they make fun of her for living in a townhouse, but she actually OWNS it. Alex and her husband acting as if he owns the hotel he works at and their invitations to the Met ball were misplaced, while Jill crows about her upholstery money. Fashion shows without FASHION! Spending 50k they don't have on a 5 year old's birthday party while the people with actual money look at each other and say a cake and ice cream probably would have been enough. Maybe if they reboot Atlanta with no "names" they can work Kandi and Kenya back in at some point when the newbies wouldn't get eaten alive.

I think I'd prefer a feuding with my famous but wacko sister in law storyline to the "my husband barely tolerates me and ignores our kids" storyline that the Aydins are offering. Yikes they have no self awareness. Or Margaret: I own being a homewrecker and maybe have some regrets about how it made other people feel, but it all worked out great (except for the family devastation part) but I'll have an opinion on everybody else's life and make sure the whole world knows it. She wants to be seen as a total free spirit except if you comment on it in which case she'll savage you to the bone. Dolores and Jackie are the only ones I can think of who actually have dealt candidly with ongoing life issues instead of trying to make good tv.

As I recall she was a dead ringer for Joe Giudice's mom. She appeared in some scene and we all said "OMG, THAT'S who she looks like!" Anybody who would comment publicly on the paternity of somebody else's child is rotten.

Didn't Kandi say she hadn't spoken with Joyce since that night? Meaning she is refusing to speak to her for the time being, or they hadn't spoken so it hadn't come up?

Kandi knows the show drives ticket sales, podcast subscriptions, and restaurant visits. It's also probably pretty lucrative on top of that for a modest amount of effort. But it's probably a drag for her and Bravo may not be patient forever if she isn't pitching in. That said, her projects actually ARE projects that go somewhere, a rarity in the Bravo universe.

They were raised by Teresa and Juicy Joe. I don't think their emotional radar is too finely tuned. I don't mind the Gorgas most of the time but those posts were a total dick move. Shame on them. I too was looking for Ramona. And Bo Dietl. Bravo must have ordered the Fesslers to leave with Margaret, because they appear perfectly capable of arranging alternate transportation and clearly didn't want to go. Everybody was focused on the height of Teresa's hair, which was silly, but also reflective of her taste. Nobody's talking about the color difference between the extensions and her natural hair - I found it really distractingly fake looking on my tv. Maybe in person it looked better? If I was spending 20k on hair and makeup I'd want my hair to actually look like my own. I wonder if Gabriella's anger was directed at Bravo for forcing the Gorga storyline during something that should be happy. Obviously they were calling the shots and footing the bill, but she may have been disturbed at how much it was bleeding into the actual intimacy of the occasion.

When Marlo was going on about how triggering the shooting was for her and Kandi didn't even care, I flashed back to an early season when Kandi's boyfriend (?) was shot and killed. I don't know, Marlo, maybe in addition to being bad for business it brings up a lot of heartache for Kandi, too? I wonder if Drew was supposed to push harder at Kandi, enabling Marlo to go into her "MY NEPHEW WAS SHOT!" performance at the table with all the girls present, the conversation went in another direction, she was robbed of her scene stealing breakdown, and therefore needed to cram it in with only Drew. And Drew didn't catch (or didn't want to catch) the hint and make a big moment of it, leaving Marlo sitting there repeating her line over and over in hopes Drew would go all in on comforting her.

Closed captioning works really well on Netflix. You don't even notice it after a while. I thought they did address it - that's what all the rehearsing was for? Somehow I really don't think the American Ambassador is wandering out of pubs and up the high street with one lone guard 15 feet away while she makes personal calls or has lunch with a friend, but I enjoy the storytelling regardless.

It has already started, as we saw in the scene where Louie was saying he didn't want them at the wedding. That entire conversation she was eying him warily, trying to PACIFY him. Not in an "I agree, fuck them, we're on the same page" way, but a "honey, it's okay, please don't work yourself up, please, it's okay, don't be mad, okay?" way. We've seen Theresa for years getting worked up and egging on people who agree with her. This was Theresa trying to talk him down and back him off a position she holds herself. He was moving the ball towards a total break and I don't think she truly wanted one (though she may have become resigned to it).

Am I crazy or do I remember that when Danielle and Jennifer Aydin were facetiming with Theresa and Danielle asked if the person said anything else and they both got stupid grins, sharing a laugh about something they obviously DID know? And Theresa says she didn't have any involvement? I can see a scenario where they call Joe over and tell him - probably isn't true, but aren't they nice to give him a heads up? Hoping it plants a seed. He thinks it's nonsense, tells them so, questions their motivation for even bringing it up, especially without Melissa present, as you'd do if you knew it was false and wanted to protect your family from slander going into the new season. Theresa, not knowing when to leave well enough alone and let that seed germinate, pipes up with "I wouldn't put it past her, Joey" and Joe goes full Gorga. Gia? I don't know. Seems like a weird thing to make up if it didn't happen, and they've drunk the Tre koolaid their whole lives, now with a Looey twist. I definitely think Looey was telling the truth about Dietl in the heat of the moment and backtracking later, when the obvious recourse of every other castmember would be to cut him dead for looking up dirt on them.

Marge looked seriously spooked. She did the whole usual vicious attack chihuahua thing, escalating into abuse, drowning out her opponent, but when she was not screaming she looked incredibly nervous, in a "don't say it, don't say it" way. I've hated Danielle all season, and of course she was assigned to blow this up at the party, but them all turning on her is a bit much. Dietl is bad news and bragging about his friendship and having investigated everybody on the show confirms all the red flags already surrounding Louie.

And even if there weren't a lot of blood, they pulled a baby covered in gunk out, then held it, cleaned it, etc. Among other things they really needed a good scrub for sanitary reasons.

Does anybody else think Danielle's brother situation may totally be a scam to get him and his family on the show? Because she's flogging the hell out of it practically begging the producers to demand his side of the story. Guess we'll find out when Marge invites him to a party because it turns out Joe has known him for years and it has nothing to do with Danielle.

Definitely in the "Louis is showing his true colors that many of us suspected from very early on" camp. Last night was an illustration of exactly how the transition goes into more sinister control. A couple of episodes ago he was all about making the relationship work because of the love she has for her brother. Whatever happened in the interim, now he's dictating to her the reasons why he no longer wants it to work and needs her to end it. Couched in how much he cares about how it's hurting her, of course, but as he spoke he got more and more vehement, more and more worked up, until SHE was trying to soothe him. If you watch it again, watch Theresa's face. This was not her normal blank what's going on expression. She was genuinely wary of him and the diatribe he was on. As someone who yields to animal instincts more often than not, it's a shame that she was ignoring one that was actually trying to protect her for once; she'd have recognized that need to pacify his anger is a huge red flag. Instead, to soothe him, she's going to give him anything he wants - after all, he's only asking it because he loves her so much, right? Next stop, he's going to take some of the pressure off her by helping her with her business/finances. There will be a reason why her agent/manager/financial advisor is not treating her right, and he will step in to solve that problem. I give the marriage 2 years and her bankruptcy/ mutual lawsuits 3.

I read it at a wedding in the late 80s - it was one of the "approved" readings for the Catholic service. As I recall, the other choices were not very attractive. I assumed that when Turner said "brain injury" he could tell from the state of her eyeballs, or her ears bleeding or whatever. I imagine that signified death one way or another at the time, as advanced life support wouldn't have existed. She also was waving out the side of the car as they went around the corner, wasn't she? So she could have been twisted in some way at the time of impact, making it worse than if she had been facing straight ahead. He should have just said her neck was broken. I thought the brother character was pretty stereotypical and the wedding mixup was over the top. My aunt's church burned down four days before her wedding (In 1968!) and there was a scramble to use another church and change all the wedding/reception times because the other church also had a wedding that day - these things do happen. Speaking of that wedding, one of the guests was a great aunt who was a nun and came with a companion nun (I guess they had to travel in twos?) At any rate, the wedding was during Lent but there was a dispensation for eating meat for some reason. The other nun said they needed to order the fish at the rehearsal dinner and my great great aunt said "we've got a dispensation - I'm having the prime rib!" Sr. Monica Joan would definitely opt for the prime rib.

In the past they'd have gone through all her stuff and found the contraband, so I assume they did here as well. Weird part was excluding that footage yet going ahead and airing the accusation AND just dropping her off to get rid of the problem as opposed to notifying authorities. Having a "we can't have drugs on the boat, zero tolerance, let's send her away and not say anything" discussion on camera was a bizarre choice. Maybe they told her they WOULD go through her stuff or she could agree to get off immediately and she took that deal?

You can lock things away nicely, but when a group of men with guns show up and tell you to open the gun safe, you open the gun safe. I am having flashbacks to years ago when a friend's husband who was a very minor (basically recreational) drug dealer got drunk and bragged at some bar about how much he had and they had a home invasion as a result. She escaped safely, but her dogs were killed and her idiot husband (now ex) wasn't even home. They lived in a nice suburb in a nice neighborhood - he just ran his mouth off in the wrong place at the wrong time, which I can totally see Kody doing.

I saw somebody ask a celeb why their cameo rates were lower and that they could charge $150 because they were a much bigger star than x who charged $150. And she said she can do 20 a week at 50 and make a thousand, or hold out for $150 and make $300 that week. $50 seems like a price point that makes a fun or gag gift (my pedicure lady was very excited to show me the cameo she got as a gift from that Ed guy on 90 day fiance). More than $50 you'd have to really be a super fan, and there aren't many.

I really really really want Christine to tell Robyn that she "gets it now" - she's realized she should have saved her cookie for David. If they were keeping a substantial gun/ammo inventory IN THEIR HOME WHERE THEIR CHILDREN SLEEP in an unprotected cul de sac, I can see wanting to get out of a high crime city. They'd be a huge soft target, and I wouldn't put it past Kody to broadcast all the cool stuff he has at home.

In her defense, didn't she say she knew somebody who had gotten a great nose job from the same guy - her brother's wife or relative? So she wasn't exactly flipping through the yellow pages.

You may be thinking of the Aleutian Ballad, the boat that took the horrific rogue wave in Season 2. It now runs excursions out of Ketchikan (highly recommend!) and at one point was captained by Derrick Ray, the guy who tried to teach Josh and Jake how to fish and got abused and fired for thinking they were actually trying to fish instead of do a tv show. Not sure if he's still with the Aleutian Ballad. It's a great tour if you're up there. They run the video of the rogue wave on a loop in the galley, which is kind of eerie/cool, and on deck they tell stories and show you the local nature, how to haul a pot, etc. My mom had zero interest in Deadliest Catch but enjoyed the outing.
