Dibs

She'd have to apply the depilatory, but I'm sure Dadwee would pay for her to be waxed. Tal's still around, kissing her butt as usual!

I think Tal must be her therapist, so yeah; as long as her insurance holds out, he'll still be in her life! And I guess Todd as long as he's given free room and board and paid to walk Goosey twice a day... I'm sure anyone could find SOME guy to settle down with who also wants to get married and start a family before it's too late, but Whitney seems to have very high standards due to her very high opinion of herself, and that's a problem. She'll have to "settle." As to why her age snuck up on her, she probably always felt like Babs' little girl as long as her mother was alive. Now she's also been replaced as Daddy's little girl by Angie and is no longer the cute young thing in the room (that would be Jaime), so reality is slapping her in the face. Finally, she's showing and feeling her age for the first time (tired, no energy, her poor body's probably falling apart, even her face is looking older); that's another wake-up call. Sometimes age just hits you all at once; for me, it was menopause!

I agree that she's having a midlife - or existential - crisis. It's not coincidental that the pizza box contract stipulated that she and Buddy would marry if they were still single at that age. He barely dodged a bullet there. Thanks, Courtney! Whitney is obviously terrified of living and dying alone; her friends are all dropping off, men are scarce, her eggs are aging, Glenn won't live forever, and Hunter at least appears on TV to be working toward a life of his own. She's desperately latching on to this new family (I would need a second DNA test to confirm the connection, myself) I suppose in hopes that she will be the indulgent "cool aunt" who will be forever cherished and cared for, but I don't know how that's going to work out. They seem to me like they're just in it for the money and fame assuming this is even real. As a single cat lady myself, I can relate and will happily watch.

Now she wants her OWN show.

Very rarely... I'd love to see a breakdown, if it's available, of how many times she visited Michigan before -- and after -- her mother's death, including when her mother actually died; she had to be crowned queen of her middle-age high school prom that week, so passed. When she brought Chris that time and had her brother do damage control by backing up her "I was bullied, that's why I'm angry" story, didn't she say it had been YEARS? Lots of daughters are closer to their fathers than mothers, so no biggie. After all, we know she takes after his crabby, critical self.

"Little House on the Lake"

Funny she NEVER went to Michigan to visit when her mother was alive. Now she seems to be there at least once a month with her father. Daddy's girl? But I'm sure the lake house will be left to all the heirs equally to "timeshare." Maybe. I'd love a free vacation spot in the UP! Poor Matt had to pay for his own in Arizona. Chris sure hit the jackpot when he met Amy!

Anna reports in an IG live that she's not close to her family... Her boyfriend interjects that he might be close to them if he ever met them, lol.

Considering that she must be, what, FIVE by now? I'd say she's way behind for her age in speech... But Tori's back pocket! She's been too busy shilling merchandise online, making YouTube videos of her kids, and podcasting with Zach lately to do much tutoring, but that may change since she recently put her foot in it and turned off some fans. Surely Lilah's in school by now, so maybe professional help will be at hand.

Normally, for her age?

I think the clothes-wearing is also related to her weight loss, but more because she can't carry off being half-naked anymore. She was always pretty firm and taut before, but losing that much weight at age 40 is probably resulting in a lot of sagging, wrinkling, and loose skin. What glimpses we've caught of just her legs now looks tragic. She's pretty much wrecked her body and, if she keeps losing, may even need skin removal surgery.

My ex actually hooked up at a high school reunion with his old sweetheart who left her husband and six-year-old child to move halfway across the country with him, so it happens.

I don't understand all the Olivia love unless women are just projecting/identifying with the "long-suffering wife" thing. She's at least as culpuble - and insufferable - as Ethan. If anything, Ethan is by far the more mature and rational/reasonable of the two of them.

I, for one, am happy to see messy Amy and her crazy posts back. We've missed you!

I didn't hear that. He's an HVAC guy. I assume he had some sort of apprenticeship. Maybe vocational college or a two-year program??? But then, I believe she has only an associate's degree, and she probably claims to be "a college graduate," too.

I happened to run across this Jungean archetypal (psychology) term the other day: "devouring mother." That's Amber to a "T."

No, these train wrecks do NOT "need to be cancelled." They're highly entertaining! I look forward to seeing that vampire Amber completely take over that baby and poor Brice try to endure it.

"The friend who came along" is, of course, an employee; one of their two nannies. They made the mistake of showing her on a vacation years ago in their retrospective tonight. I see Mimi also reappeared!

Well, I would call that "a day trip" or, more likely, "a getaway" since they probably didn't drive 8-10 hours total in just one day. I assume he means it's a staycation compared to his usual jet-setting, globe-trotting lifestyle of endless exotic vacations.

You probably don't have binge eating disorder, which Jazz has admitted to. Anyone who has tried for years (and decades, in the case of Oprah) unsuccessfully to lose even a pound and keep it off but now can since semaglutide has become widely available is naturally and logically suspected of taking it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think people should be honest about it. In other news, Sander is enjoying a "staycation" in the Florida Keys. Isn't a staycation just staying where you are? Does he live in the Keys?

Translation of all that: I took Wegovy and dropped a ton of weight.

I saw the preview. She looks much heavier than she has in her recent IG posts. I wonder how long ago seasons are filmed? Nonetheless, she seems to have acquired "Ozempic face."

Oh, I'll be watching, too. There isn't much I won't watch! I'm interested in the whole Wegovy weight loss thing (whether or not she admits to it).

I would cut her some slack by guessing she was waiting till the kids were past the choke-risk age, but since they just had a baby, that can't be it...

"No more teenagers." She got rid of some of them sooner than others!
