I've just about given up on all of the Housewives shows but can't seem to take this show off of my DVR lol It's the whole "trainwreck" thing - I'm sucked in. Looking forward to this season but I would really be happy with NO STASSI at all...can't stand the girl.

Ok Bravo...can you guys please just get rid of her now? She doesn't deserve anymore chances in my opinion. She is one of the reasons I barely watch RHOBH anymore.

When Suzy discussed Ben's school costs with Carly, her attitude of "Nope, sorry, your on your own" seemed unnecessarily adversarial. For me, ignoring Ben when he called her dad is another example of good point, bad presentation.
Carly sounds way too much like the Church Lady to me, I expect her to crack a "Well isn't that speeeecial" at any moment lol. Carly's apartment's decor looked Church Lady Chic - I think I remember seeing dowdy doilies, needlepoint, birds and maybe even hummel dolls. It's as if she moved into her grandma's home and didn't change a thing. I imagine Carly's doing the Superior Dance in her head whenever she's talking to Suzy.
My heart goes out to Dan. He (didn't he still identify as male? apologies if that's changed) strikes me as compassionate, loving, and truly sensitive of others' feelings. It breaks my heart that he can't find love. I want to launch a Kickstarter campaign "Find Dan a Man" - a nationwide search for the perfect guy who will cherish Dan as the beautiful soul that he is. Who's in? : )
On a shallow note, I find Lathan hot. And I think Chris will forgive him - Chris seems very accepting, and he must understand the inner turmoil of revealing this personal truth to others.
I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive ... but I don't understand why Chris identifies as male, yet appears so feminine. Even though Lathan has some traditionally feminine markings (blousey shirts, earring, makeup, etc) I was genuinely surprised when he revealed he was born a biological female. Lathan's voice is deep, and he carries himself as a male. But for me, Chris doesn't look interested in the social construct of maleness. (I've been told that being transgender is - in part - a desire to be perceived by the world as male/femaie.) I'm not giving Chris the side-eye - he seems like a compassionate and kind person. I just don't understand why he's a gay male when being a straight female also leads to male sexual partners.
I love Dan! He really is a sweet sweet person. I hope he finds someone too!
i want to know the same stuff as you about Chris....I'm trying hard to get it but I really don't. Of course it's not important if "I" get it or not I suppose but I am curious.

I need a grandpa Ron in my life!
Everyone has said everything I came here to say...I didn't like the "ask me anything you want" from Lathan b/c I too think it's a cop out for later when Chris does find out. I wanted to scream just SAY IT!!
Suzi is bitter and that is understandable but it makes me think of that quote about "taking poison and waiting on the other person to die". Whoever said it's dragging her down is dead on.
I know the majority here think Carly is selfish - but I couldn't help but wonder if there wasn't anyone to go with her to the surgery...maybe there was a friend that didn't want to be on camera.
And yeah I'm done with Sutton. Get married and get off this show. You aren't "cutesy" just irritating.

"If I could take your pain away I'd give it to your mother and you and me would go shopping."
This was probably my favorite! I still laugh when I think about it.....

I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the previous one (which almost made me give up on the show) because it actually dealt with Ben and Carly and the issues there instead of spending the episode on Ben's rando college-age friends and their manufactured drama, and because he got to know Dan a little bit better.
Dan seems like a nice person and I do hope that he finds someone, though it may be tough going, since it seems he's kinda at a midpoint between male and female and he needs to find someone cool with that. I wonder why the date was such a disaster - because the guy just wasn't cool with where Dan is on the gender spectrum, or did he just see Dan as the focus of some sort of fetish?
Mostly I'm okay with Carly's selfishness because I think after living a lie your whole life and then deciding to embrace who you really are takes something of a "I need to be true to me and NOTHING is standing in my way" attitude, even if sometimes people get hurt, but I think stuff like not responding when Ben calls her Dad is a jerk move. I was okay with the letter scene because I think it was the first real taste we got of the pain the transition has caused Ben. He ultimately loves and supports Carly, but he finally said that it's been really hard on him. I hope Carly heard that and didn't just take the victory of Ben agreeing not to call her Dad anymore.
To me, it sounded like Dan's date was indeed focused on a fetish...if you remember, and I'm paraphrasing, Dan said something to Danielle about "not just wanting to get me into bed". That's the thing that I worry about (well as much as you can worry about someone on a tv show lol) for Dan - trying to find someone that's NOT looking to fulfill one of their fetishes.
I thought I was the only one here that was "ok" with Carly's selfishness. Yes I do think she is somewhat selfish but she's pretty much lived a lie for 40 some years and it must be freeing to finally get to be who you really are inside. Her attitude, as you said "nothing can stand it my way" is probably normal for anyone the finally gets to come out from under whatever they've been hiding their whole life. I'm sure she is tired...tired of years and years of hiding, walking on eggshells around friends and family, keeping pretty dark secrets from everyone and suppressing her true self her whole life. I know for me, arriving in the mid 40s I do feel more of a "life is short, screw what everyone else thinks about my choices" kind of thought process so I can somewhat understand the selfish attitude she has.
I also didn't mind the letter so much but do NOT agree with the whole "calling me dad" issue. To me, that's very selfish. If you really think about the changes Carly's had to come to terms with while making this change, in no way could it ever be easy.

Is it wrong that I spent most of Carly's tearful letter reading wondering where she got that fabulous necklace? I wasn't moved by her letter. It felt manipulative to me.
I too am excited for the surgery and Lathan's new love. I think Lathan should have come clean when Chris did. It may bite him that he wasn't honest originally.
I felt really badly for Dan too. It's going to be a hard road for Dan I think. I have a friend who dates trans men fairly regularly but he is unique and I don't know that there are a lot of men who are as open minded as he.
I still don't understand why Lathan didn't tell Chris about himself when the subject came up. I think that's a little deceptive on his part - wouldn't he want the same courtesy of someone being totally up front and honest from the start? Maybe Chris will be totally ok with it....
And Dan has to be my favorite on the show. I just want good things for Dan. May I ask if your friend is a gay male? If I remember correctly, Dan has stated that he's not interested in a gay male and I'm not so sure how easy that's going to be for him to find. Though I really do hope he finds that special person to spend his life with.

My husband cheated on me several years ago so I can understand how Shannon feels, and it's true that in the beginning you think about it constantly. I knew I couldn't harp on him all day if we were ever going to get past it, but yet there was so much hurt that I needed to let out....so we came up with a plan. I was given a five-minute period each day where we would go off by ourselves and I could say anything I wanted - I could rant, yell, cry, call him names, ask questions, whatever I wanted, and he had to take it - then after that five minutes was over we didn't speak of it again that day - we only focused on the positives. It was great because it let me get it out and because - quite frankly - he deserved to get yelled at!
The best part was this....at first, I needed that five minutes almost every day. Then, after a month or so, I maybe needed it once or twice a week, then we would go months and I never asked for my five minutes. I felt like after the affair we worked on our marriage in a positive way, yet I always knew I could use my five minutes to be heard when I was hurting. After about a year we decided we didn't need the five-minute option anymore.
Every time I watch Shannon I think this is what she needs - a designated time each day when she can let it out, and then when that timer sounds put it behind her. I'm a cheated-on spouse, but I feel sorry for David....the guy must be walking on eggshells every minute of the day just waiting for when his horrible mistakes are going to be thrown in his face again - you can't fix things living that way.
I guess I could call Shannon and offer this advice, but, you know, she doesn't like unfamiliar numbers popping up on her screen ;-)
Bless your heart. I too was cheated on in a previous relationship (not by a husband but a long term boyfriend/domestic partner) and it hurt. Probably one of the worse things I have ever went through. However, unlike you, I was unable to continue in the relationship. I ended it b/c I KNEW that I would NEVER be able to let it go and not hold a grudge and rehash it every chance I got. Maybe Shannon is the same way? And if that's the case, her and David would be way better off by just divorcing and moving on. For me, it took getting away from the person (even though I still loved him deeply) to even begin to heal.
I do want to say that I like the 5 minute "bitch about everything that's bothering me" rule. Boy I sure could have found alot to bitch about in that 5 minutes. lol

Sorry, I just love this show. :-)
Me too! I'm ashamed to say that when it first aired, I was determined not to like it b/c I thought it was just another hoity, toity entitled family famewhoring and boy was I wrong.
I love the whole family and think they are hilarious. Todd cracks me up!

I finally was able to watch the current episode and I just wanted to say I was so hoping for a good date for Dan. She is such a sweetheart and it made me sad that she told her daughter it was a bad night. I really hope she finds someone that can accept her for her and has a happy relationship.
I'm anxious for the next episode dealing with Carly's surgery and Lathan's new love interest.

Yes, of course you're entitled to your opinion. As am I. I guess our minds work differently. I never would have jumped to the conclusion that someone (anyone!) entered the bedroom of two women, and jerked off while watching them sleep. I could imagine 100 different scenarios before I'd get to that one. I didn't hear or see anything that would lead me in that direction in this situation.
My assumption is that he was messing around with Ramona and then he went to sleep. As often happens with men who drink, stumble into someone's bed in the wee hours of the morning and have sex. After that, they go to sleep. At that point it's pretty much a given. Or maybe they fumbled around a bit, he was too drunk so not much happened, and he went to sleep. I just can't assume that he was wandering around the house up to no good. It makes no sense to me without having more reason to think so.
And we differ again because I think we do have reason to disbelieve Heather. She exaggerates all the time, and she especially was exaggerating during her crazy rant. Maybe he was naked, maybe he wasn't. Maybe in her hysteria she caught sight of just enough to assume that he was. But either way I don't find it at all weird that he would be naked. Whether or not he had sex with Ramona, lots of men sleep naked. It doesn't make him a pervert, and I don't find that suspicious or the slightest bit unusual. If he could walk from Ramona's room to the other room, it's completely believable that he would remove his clothing before getting into the bed, drunk or not. And what was he supposed to wear? It's not like he brought pajamas! (I'm mentioning this because you said earlier that people who are drunk enough to pass out don't take their clothing off, and my contention is that he was likely drunk but not necessarily at the point of passing out, and therefore easily could have removed his clothing either before having sex with Ramona or before getting into bed in the other room. All perfectly normal behavior.)
The most logical explanation for the whole thing, IMO, is that Ramona brought this guy home, they had sex, and he went to sleep in another room because he was too drunk to go home and she didn't want him to be discovered in her bed. That scenario makes the most sense to me, and I really don't think it was anything more than that.
I agree with this whole post.
You sure can be drunk and take your clothes off...not proud of it, just sayin lol.
And I think jumping to the conclusion of the guy jerking off while watching them sleep is pretty far fetched and quite silly. But that's my opinion.

It has been done in Appalachia since photography began.
Hey Redhawk! Fellow Appalachian here :-)
I thought that I remembered folks down in this part of the country taking photos and funerals...haven't seen any lately but I do remember seeing them when I was younger.

Does anyone else think Meghan is a bit sociopathic? Wow, I had the creeps on the beach when she brought up Vicki's mom dying. I knew EXACTLY where she was about to go. She has a mean streak in her. Hailey was shifting uncomfortably as Meghan launched into, ""Vicki was wailing that she can't live without her mom, she needs her mom" (something like that) and then delivered the final blow with, "then I thought of YOU (Hailey) and how soon YOU won't have a mom and how SAD and TERRIBLE that will be for you." I almost reached through my TV screen and punched her in the face. The icing on the cake was Meghan's little smile that came out when she said all of this to Hailey. EWWW. What a creepy bitch.Then to continually talk, in every episode but especially this one, about how Hailey's mom is DYING. DYING OF CANCER. SOON SHE'LL BE DEAD. But at least Hailey will still have her, Meghan, the amazing stepmom who is an even BETTER mother to Hailey than her own....after all, she knows about Instagram and Snapchat... Seriously, vile stuff.
This right here is why I will NEVER like Meghan. I find this incredibly insensitive. Why does she feel the need to remind that young girl at every turn - "your mom is going to die". What an idiot.

if Mr. Irritable cheated, that would be it for us, because I know that I would never be able to look at him again without thinking about it. You just have to know yourself, and what you can and cannot handle.
This! I totally get why Shannon feels the way she does and of course she's insecure and jittery. I would be too. However, I agree with the quote above - you have to know yourself and what you can and cannot handle. I couldn't handle it either. And if I were to stay and give him another chance, it would be miserable for both of us, so no matter how much I thought I loved him, I'd have to let him and the marriage go.
I'm not saying that people can't forgive and forget and indeed move on with the relationship and heal, I just know "me" and I could NOT handle it. To me, infidelity is my deal breaker.

I can not wait for this! I've binge watched Season 1 and 2 the last few days and I love this show.
I did see someone post that it's only going to have 6 episodes in Season 3 - that's a bummer.

My roommate and I screamed at the tv every time Hot Dogg would say something to the effect of "i need to know how daddy feels about me" or "I need to know if we are MORE than just fun" OMG how many times does Daddy have to say "I'm not ready for a relationship". Yeah yeah I know he leads her on and tells her she is so badass and loves her ass blah blah but girl - he isn't "feeling some type of way" and he's said as much several times.
And really why in the world does she feel like he is such a catch anyways? I know we only see what they want us to see and maybe he is really a sweetheart, intelligent, charming but I tend to believe him when he calls himself a loser.

I'm also surprised how nonchalant citizens of this town are about people returning from the damn grave!! I would be flippin' the F out if I lived there. How is this not causing complete panic?
Preach! I told my friend that I would be freaking out at this and would probably head to my nearest church lol.

I just finished this series last night. Loved it! I'm not sure if it was this episode or the last one but I've seen a couple of posts asking about Danny and the toast...can anyone elaborate on that? I remember the scene of him eating the toast but not sure if I missed something else....
-
I miss lil Bit. Hot Dogg seems alright, I'm just bored with everyone talking about her.
Shew not me....that girl brought too much drama to the house.
I wish they would have brought in a new person that none of them already knew. I think it would have been a better dynamic with the group.
-
Walt seems to have come out of his shell. Not sure I like it. Over-the-top horniness, vomiting and sharting in a cab...not a good look.
I liked Walt last season but this season he looks so dumpy to me. Maybe it's the semi-shaggy beard, the uncut hair and the SAME damn clothes day after day. And yeah I'm not digging his actions this season either.
I've moved on to liking Murray the most. He seems laid back and like he's just there to have a good time.
I do wish they would have brought in a roommate that wasn't already a friend of someone in the house.

I watched the whole season for the first time through out the month of December and am anxiously awaiting the new episode.
Love this show and I have to agree with the others about Timothy Olyphant being "sex on a stick" (what a great description for him!) but I do love me some Walt Goggins. I find him incredibly sexy. And whoever said they had a crush on Johnny....so did I girl...so did I. You can't beat a show that has lots of good eye candy.
