  1. The only thing I got from this movie is that most of the cast did not care for Dustin Diamond. Since I have heard that DD is a huge jerk in real life, from multiple sources, no sympathy from me. I never cared for Screech, either. Like Urkel, Screech was supposed to be a lovable nerd, but I found both of them horribly annoying. The actress that played Lisa had none of Lark's sparkle. Besides Zack and Screech, everyone else is so badly cast; it's as if the casting agent has never heard of the real SBTB. I do not believe DD beat up a kid that taunted him in line for the movie.
  2. I always thought Jim was an Oompa-Loompa from Loompaland, but with less dignity. Maybe, this is the rare dialect/language that no one else can understand (unless you are Willy Wonka)?
  3. I have mentioned this on other HW threads...I read an article on wealthy people who had built 25,000 and up square feet homes (with one outlier being 50,000 square feet). All of these people could easily afford these mansions (unlike most of the people on this show). However, every single one of them regretted the decision. The constant maintenance required on the homes of this size meant they had no privacy. One family had downgraded their staff from two dozen servants to only three people. Having a grand gigantic home is wonderful, IF you can afford it (which includes upkeep and utilities); otherwise it is a gigantic drain of time and resources. .
  4. Yeah, I noticed that as well. I wonder if growing up, since Kathy is older, if she was held up to Teresa as a role model. I can imagine Kathy being the well behaved kid that all the adults love and Teresa developing resentment towards her. Also, if felt as if the Manzos and Lauritas really warmed up to Kathy. For all that was made about the Teresa/Melissa, I always felt it was Kathy that Teresa could not stand. She evened refused to acknowledge that Kathy tried to help her girls during the Gorga (sp?) christening fiasco. The twins seem harmless. However, it always freaks me out to hear such baby talk coming from some elderly looking faces. Does anyone else feel that since there is no more feud, Melissa seems really irrelevant this year?
  5. Remember, there was not one, but TWO shows where women competed to date that beautiful man. The experts would tell you how lucky you were to be matched up with such a catch. This is why Dr. C is full of crap about how his super-duper CIA questionnaire weeds out those are lying or being disingenuous. He should have smelled that Vaughn and Monet were not being truthful for what they were looking for, or did not understand their own needs well enough to participate in show. When Monet was honest enough to say she was not the wife Vaughn was looking for (as many posters her astutely pointed out) the experts looked like they had been smacked. I think that others are right about them being desperate to have some diversity, which is a horrible disservice to Vaughn and Monet.
  6. It's like she went to the school of cartoon villainy and bad acting before she was cast on the show. I was waiting for her to rub her hands together and give out a maniacal laugh while she was handing out the skulls. I have never seen anyone on reality TV so obviously portraying a character. They might have cast her on the show for shit stirring, which is too bad, because there are plenty of good tattoo artists (male and female) who deserved her spot.
  7. I actually thought K's model looked much better with the mask on and the make up was horrid. I know K said she was a Barbie girl, but that mask made her character look like a female Destro (sp?).
  8. I know, I was impressed she had her own apartment with no roomates.
  9. You know, most people are saying that Doug is staying with Jamie and putting up with her issues because he thinks she is hot. It is obvious that Doug is very attracted to her, but I thought he was mostly relieved that she had a good job in a growing and stable field. I think Doug hates his job working for his brother and sister. He probably feels that Jamie's job can support them while he pursues his comedy dreams. If Jamie is on board there is nothing wrong with this scenario, but if the genders were reversed some would say he is an oppurtunist.
  10. I am beginning to think that Jim is the most delusional persion to appear on one of these RH show and lord knows, THAT is saying a lot.
  11. I know Jason is a jerk, but I can not believe Vern's daughter spit into his glass like that.
  12. Monet looks really good in her picture and Vaughn comes off a little goofy (isn't he supposed to be a model?). It seems they could not stand each other, but I have matured through the process. I am glad he has gone back to school. It is a shame that they now have to explain a divorce to their future relationships, but I guess that was the risk they took going along with this experiement. Being married one to six months does not impress me. We need to check in with the remaining couples after five years...when the shine from the reality tv camaras have long faded.
  13. Yeah, I love the way Spike thinks men are only interested in brawls and boobs. It's not like anyone with a Y chromosome can appreciate skilled artists producing fantastic tattoos. By the way, the supposedly "badass" intro looks ridiculous with the tattoo artists facing off like MMA fighters, These are people that do tattoos for a living, not street brawlers. Usually, there is one or two people with talent that you want to follow. Here, everyone is so busy talking smack that the work is suffering. "You know what would make Ink Master better... less skill and more fights", said no one ever.
  14. I think most of the people on this board were much more spot on about the Monet/Vaughn pairing then the supposed "experts" ever were. I do think that unfortunately most of the posters were correct in that even though Vaughn was sexually attracted to Monet, he was, unfortunately, not blown away by her like the other grooms were with their wives. I think after the wedding night, he was ready to run. Monet, for her part, was clueless about the true role of a traditional wife (as TwirlyGirly so astutely pointed out) and did not realize, how much work goes into a traditional wife role. They are both stubborn and lash out at each other when they are hurt, because their needs are not being met.
  15. When the couple was making the molds, I was thinking about how they are wasting valuable counter top space that can be used for anthing in favor of silly niche type storage. What possble purpose does bowl indentations serve? I have those type of bowls and they do not fall over if you put them on a flat surface. Putting then in their own little hole does nothing to further your cooking convenience. I am also fascinated by the built in ice bucket. When that thing fills with water are they going to have to suction it out with a vacuum? If it fills with water and moisture and they just leave it....will they have mold problems? I do not know enough about concete to understand the science behind this. It was refreshing to see a couple not making the cookie cutter choices.
  16. I asked for this show, as any other place I go to to talk about the show, has people just talking about seeing Emily's boobs...not the type of discussion I am looking for. I am beginning to think Nome is the place for horrible fathers. First we had Scott, then Steve, and now we have the the Kelly family. I have also heard that Sean has four children from three different women. Maybe it is something in the water.
  17. I have to admit, you have to be impressed with Nene's gamesmanship. She got a major role in a broadway musical while her former foes are watching their husbands go to jail or crying about houses that will never be completed. She actually would be a good mentor for Porsha, as she never seems down for long. It does not necessarily mean I like her, but she does have gumption.
  18. I think he either said it in the first episode or during the honeymoon episode. However, I am a bit fuzzy on remembering exactly what went on, so I would not swear Doug's mother's life on it or anything like that.
  19. The weird thing about this is that Vaughn asked for a woman that had an ample rear end and thick thighs. It that is what you are attracted to, then Monet in a swimsuit (or, um, her birthday suit) would really float your boat. Perhaps, as other posters have stated, he just wanted to hit and quit it? If Vaughn had so many women swooning over him ( I get that he is nice looking, but this seems a bit much) then why did he not marry one of them? I also cosign that Jamie is not attracted to Doug and she is just enjoying the attention of the cameras. I admire that Jamie has pulled herself out of a cycle of poverty and abuse, but she really needs to say away from reality tv.
  20. Tamra used to be a pretty woman, even if her styling is trashy. However, it is like the older she gets, the ugly from her soul is creeping onto her face. I would not be surprised to learn her style icon was Pamela Anderson and that is not a look that ages gracefully. The botox is just making everything look more off kilter and not helping.
  21. Spot on...they are exactly those people.I remember in the hoe down house breaking how proud Terry was that some of their neighbors would be professional baseball players (I guess he never had to pleasure to meet earlier season Jeanna's husband or he would realize that not all professional athletes are that nice, though I am sure some are great people). I also remember during Shannon's Christmas party, she hired a sugar sculptor. Terry and Heather just had to say about how they have seen that before. I did not think Shannon's decor at the party was the most original, but I have to say the sugar sculptor was more creative than anything Heather has come up with.
  22. Agree with the entire post. The goal was to successfully manage your budget, not to throw everything into your kitchen and then get by on the last few rooms. Yes, their room was impressive for eighty dollars, but they got a good portion of their stuff for for free. At the end of the day, the living room is paint and furniture, unless you plan on adding architectural details. The married couple probably thought the picture frames were the "pop of color and design" that David taught them to add to their spaces, but it was still a bad choice. Also, the whole idea of adding personality to a flipped property goes against the rules of real estate. You are supposed to leave everything as neutral as possible so buyers can imagine customizing the space to suit their own tastes. HGTV knows that having well done but bland rooms would not entertain their tv audience, so they are making these ridiculous request to add "personality" to the redone rooms. Does anyone know if the condos will be sold with the furniture? If this is not the case, then why even bother to put furniture in the room, except for staging purposes (which should highlight the best qualities of the space, but still be pretty neutral)? I would personally hope that someone would want to burn the sheets that Daisy Dukes was sleeping in.
  23. I actually do not mind Dina...most of the time. However, I have a feeling she is repainting her marriage with rose colored glasses. I remember seeing her wedding special (it was a reality show about big over the top expensive weddings) and her groom was very disinterested in her. Sometimes you get the feeling that Don Caro and Al brokered this marriage to further connect their families, because they had no connection whatsoever as a couple. I do know that an edited reality show on a wedding is not a basis to judge realities in a relationship, but they were a bizarre bride and groom. For the record, their function cost well over a million dollar and I think there were like hundreds of guests. I wonder where all those friends and family are now as Dina seems so alone? I can appreciate being a loner, but she could use some good friends who are not her assistants, now that Lexi is going away to college and she is going through a divorce. Dear Bravo, Rino sleeping with his wife's mother (even if it was true) was a story line mined by Jerry Springer many years ago. It does not make for interesting tv and I hope it was not the reason that you cast the twins.
  24. Correct. I actually was looking for the actors who play Gordon and Donna (had no idea who they were the first time I watched the movie). It made me realize what great chemistry they have on screen. It is not a firecracker romance, but more of a mostly of two people who get each other, that remind you of so many married couples you have probably met during your lifetime.
  25. Yeah, I think "tried everything to find love" translates to spent a couple months on Match.com and was not satisfied. The exception is Jaime, who we all know by now, has been on The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad.
