I’ve watched this show from the jump and started out loving it. But it seems like every season it gets a little more unbelievable. I’m all about suspension of disbelief but I think this season has taken it a bit OTT. While I really like Melanie Lynskey as an actress I do not like what her character has become. There’s an anti-hero and then there’s…whatever she is. And teen Shauna is so beyond unlikeable and annoying that I’m just bummed that we know she survives because I spend my time wishing for an axe to the back of her noggin. Thank goodness for Sophie Thatcher and Christina Ricci. They’re remarkably good in this series. I’ll watch to the very end but I just think they need to put this one down if they want to leave viewers with a good taste in their mouths.

I’m mostly sad for the poor, sweet animals caught in these people’s orbit. Karen is lazy and full of excuses. Her daughter is right behind her on the MSHPL train. Sad all around.

Sorry…I have no empathy for this waste of space and his family of enablers. He’s unbelievably rude, entitled and lazy. I don’t understand why Dr. Now was so deferential and accommodating. Maybe there’s more to this than was shown in the episode. But from everything shown here - this guy deserves absolutely no more assistance. Let him rot in his bed. Maybe then his family will have to get real jobs.

Tammy is a hateful, nasty person. Whatever good will she engendered by finally undergoing LIFE SAVING! surgery is quickly dissipating. Amanda is no saint but I think she - and the entire family - have put up with Tammy and Amy long enough. They’re both so incredibly toxic and exhausting.

Enough with this family. They’re really stretching with this whole UK thing. Even though it’s a trashy reality show I get so embarrassed thinking of these knuckle draggers being associated with the US. The show has run its course imo. Does anyone think morbidly obese women talking about farting on the Queen is somehow entertaining? I guess I just don’t understand the allure anymore. They’re a super fat family with zero education and limited social skills who are now “reality show famous”. What’s next I guess…

I’m truly shocked at how much more I like Vanessa this year vs the past seasons. Yes she’s crass and pretty low-brow but I think she has a pretty good heart and has definitely proven to be much more serious and hard working than the rest of the “friends”. I hope after she gets skin surgery someone can recommend a good oral surgeon. Honestly - if she fixed her teeth it would make soooo much of a difference in her appearance. I’m rooting for her and I never thought I’d say that. Megan is such a non-entity. Just a complete waste of bandwidth. She’s never going to do what needs to be done to improve herself. She’s just plain lazy. And I’m glad Ashley finally came to the realization that she needs to lose more weight and sustain that before she even thinks about having a child. Tina 2.0 seems ok. Kind of meh on her. I guess we’ll see if she’ll be the next Vanessa or the next Megan. And Scott needs to grow up and realize that the only thing he has to his advantage is his youth. If he doesn’t take his weight loss seriously he won’t be around much longer. He’s a big, petulant baby.

Omg you guys! What are the chances that Whitney found a flamenco dress in her size? In a random boutique in Spain? And that the dress also needed to be taken in because it was shockingly too big? And the shop owner was able to do that ASAP? Just in time for her showcase with Todd? Crazy I know! My eyes continually to Liz Lemon in my head about everything. And everyone involved. This whole show jumped the shark about the time Whitney toddled her way through her “race” in Hawaii.

Of course he'll go to Spain. Since he worried about getting in trouble with his job, I had to wonder what kind of counseling job has no problem with their counselors appearing on tv in a speedo to do sexual healing baths with friends? 😂 Agree 💯. I imagine he’s a “special case” with whatever job he has. I can’t imagine one of my coworkers taking a mental health “sabbatical” and managing to work in a vacation during that time. In the real world - that would be an automatic “nope”. But I suspect that this is yet another scripted “Will he or won’t he” scenario perfectly in line with reality tv tropes. Per usual - nothing this season seems very genuine. But I’ve come to expect that with MBFFL. Irt the glamour shots for her profile- I hope Whitney stays with the clothed ones. She’s looks cute. The nudes are unflattering and super cringe IMO. But - again - it’s all for the show.

All this talk about how Babs would have loved to be at this wedding seems kind of weird to me. Wasn’t Babs the reason that Glenn essentially abandoned his daughter? In that she was adamant against his even acknowledging that she even existed? Maybe I’m misremembering the story so feel free to correct. But I thought that Angie was essentially a “shame” that our genteel southern belle just couldn’t abide. Not to speak ill of the dead because I liked Babs ok. But this whole new narrative seems a bit off to me. That said - Whitney looked nice in her size and event appropriate dress. I’m still not a huge fan but I’ll give her props where she deserves them. It was a nice balm from the cringey boudoir photos that “Jessica” insisted on. 😂

Whitney’s colored contacts are so off putting in her narration clips. She seems to have nice eyes so not sure why she’s going for something so obviously fake. That being said - the constant “whoa is me…I’m almost 40…am I too picky?” is just so beyond boring. We get it. And to make the bachelorette party all about her was just so on brand. But honestly - Jamie is so obviously in this for the exposure and “clout” - that I couldn’t care less that her one millionth bachelorette party was hijacked by a narcissist. And it may be an unpopular opinion - but I find Angie hard to look at and listen to. She’s just so cringe. And bless the sex tutorial woman for going there and doing her thing. I found the whole thing tacky af - but the way Jamie talked about her with disgust really rubbed me the wrong way. Jamie isn’t nearly as beautiful as she and her mom seem to think she is. BLUF - this show needs to be put to pasture. Let Glen grieve in private and sell the damn house so he’s not stuck in a huge Bab’s mausoleum that he’s too old to maintain. Let Whitney ride off into the sunset with Kenny and send the Alabama clan anywhere as long as it’s off my television.

I am the first in line to snark on Whitney. You can check my previous postings to confirm. I’m not a fan and she drives me bananas. Having said that - her convo with Tal in the car brought me to tears. I lost my mom around the same time as Babs passed. And what she said really resonated with me. I share her sentiments almost to a T. There’s a lot I side eye Whitney about - but her love for her mom is not one of them. I understand her loss and I really wish the best for her, Glenn and Hunter. Ok…I’ll find my snark again soon… :)

I’ll just say this…Hunter “filming” a movie with no input as the “lead actor” reminds me of Windy City Heat. Hunter is a way more adjusted Perry Caravello.

Just catching this now but was there any follow up on the rape accusation while she was working at a convenience store? I’m only asking because this was presented as a trigger but I didn’t see anything after the claim. If it was something so life altering I don’t get why there wasn’t some kind of follow up of some kind.

What did Fernanda do to her face? I’ve only known her from this show as I don’t watch the main shows but she was such a naturally pretty girl. She’s got that frozen, ageless (not in a good way) kabuki mask look now. Way too young to be messing around with her face. But that’s JMO. I’m sad to see it. 😔

I can’t watch this show lately given how many infuriating and entitled people they seem to showcase. But I was so pleasantly surprised with Rose. She wasn’t perfect. And her family obviously had challenges too. It’s obvious that they’ve been struggling for generations. But g’damn - she tried. I wish her the absolute best of luck. She seems like a sweet lady with a big heart so I’m rooting for her.
