    Yet another plot point in this show which has me all:

    how-convenient-church-lady.jpg.974aa39211cb322acc6178ee2fdf6d77.jpg

    The other thing I thought was interesting (inasmuch as anything interests me on this show) was Sierra telling Helen that her mother wrote a cookbook and that a copy was on the counter. Helen found no such cookbook written by Sierra's mother. And then whatever babble came out of Sierra's mouth next, Helen told her everything she had said was, in effect, not true at all. So, Helen knows she's dealing with a known idiot/bullshitter and yet ditches her daily misery (because her car has no gas and she forgot to sign one of the kid's notes...oh, poor you, Helen!) to drive out to the desert in VIk's Porsche to model high-end hippie clothes in the desert with dipshit Sierra and then have some sexy times with her later on? God. You know what would really help you, Helen? A 9-5 desk job. 

    The whole thing with Helen and the cookbook is part of her continued effort to find out who Sierra’s celebrity mother is. So, I saw cookbooks by Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer - couldn’t make out the other celeb authors. The continuing joke is that Helen is dying to know without outright asking, and Sierra hasn’t given it up. One of those cookbooks was authored by Sierra’s mother.

    I'm sorry there are only 3 more episodes left this season. Even though Sierra was as irritating as Furcat this epsiode. 

    O'Hare didn't hang me up as much as that house in the middle of Joshua Tree National Park. How did they walk there? 

    Thank you! They just ambled out of the desert ? of Joshua Tree, and found themselves in a lush and verdant back yard.

    I thought the sensory deprivation tank was going to make Helen realize that Sierra was talking about screwing Vik.

    But instead, the epiphany she got was to run to Vik and tell him not to die?

    Sierra is a bomb thrower, indiscriminately taking out both the husband and the wife.

     

    I don't buy Anton's father's objection to Princeton.  If Anton got accepted with a full ride, I find it very hard to believe he'd object to his son going there.  Was it all a setup so that Noah and Anton would do this trip and then it turns into a road trip with Cole to look for Alison?

    Seems like they're trying to force a mystery element into the season, as if they don't want to be seen as just a soap opera about all these affairs.  These people already dealt with murder or involuntary manslaughter.  

    As for Noah and the principal, it's a wonder they waited until almost the end of the season.  Now Anton is starting to like Noah, listening to his audio book and everything.  But does he know Noah and his moms are a thing?  He'd have to be blind not to see it.  

    My take was sensory deprivation tank = Vik’s coffin underground

    Also, can you order two drinks at once on a plane? And I know it's just a detail, but I know you can order a double, but 2 bottles of wine? Maybe in first, but I doubt they would honor that in coach. I did LOL in that they gave her Sutter Home, the piss water of wine. 

    Ok, I’m not proud, but I can confirm that you can receive 2 bottles of wine at once in coach. 

    I experienced this last March. In NYC with my four kids to see Hamilton. Staying with our gracious friend in his 2-bedroom apartment. Massive winter storm hits (24+ inches). We are stuck in the city for two extra days, and two extra nights.

    We finally get to Newark for our flight. I order a glass of wine as we wait at the gate. Kids have chicken tenders or something like that. Newark has this thing where you can sit at the gate, and order from a touch screen without having to leave your seat! Well, due to weather, we end up spending 5 hours at the gate, my one glass becomes three. When we get on the plane, I order two more glasses of ? Don’t judge! Four kids, small apartment.

    In my defense, my husband was along and handled the kids. We finally made it home. All good.

    Ten bucks says that Kushna statue is the season finale murder weapon. With possibly Otter as the victim.

    Two random thoughts: 1. I floved Ben's wife when she appeared on S1 of UnReal. 2. I cannot stop laughing at how inconvenient both Helen and Alison find the Pacific Ocean.

    It’s been a while... which character was she on Unreal?

    I may be wrong, but in the scene where Vik and Sierra "get it on," didn't it look as if Sierra had scars underneath her breast(s), or were they surgical markings for a planned procedure?

     

    Tatoo?

    On the other hand, I'm fanwanking that Cherry knows all about walkabouting because of her time in Australia when she was the daughter of that woman who was banging that priest. Before she ran off to Europe to marry Ken Howard.

    Yes!! I was completely obsessed with the Thorn Birds! I remember a scene where Rachel Ward is screaming about her son, Not my Dane!” - always stuck with me.

    Of course a young Cherry (Mare Winningham) was also relieved of her virginity by one young, hot saxophone player - Rob Lowe in St. Elmo’s Fire.

    Good point.  Two things:
    1) I defer to parents:  do young children go through hair color changes as they grow older?  
    2) I'm guessing that the writers tossed this hair color change into the story line to keep us guessing.  

    Re: keeping us guessing -  didn’t Noah’s lawyer run a DNA test that definitively proved Noah was not the father?

    "Campaigning" can also include partying and philandering. He was no perfect mate.

    The second part about her wanting to live in a trendy part of town reminds me of how he asked her, "So how's life in suburbia?" That question stuck me as his way of needling her. He lives in a multi-million-dollar mansion and apparently she has moved into an apartment complex in another area of Charleston (still in Mt. Pleasant though?). Not sure why she left the small house. She made a pleasant comment about how her new home was a nice place and she would send him photos of the kids' rooms. She did not take his bait and react 

    They BOTH reside in suburbia now - both on Daniel Island to be exact. It’s a nice, upscale Charleston suburb. Kathryn in an apartment rental, Thomas has a home there. He sold his downtown home (with the guest/child house).

    You know who else lives on Daniel Island? Ashley!! Thomas set her up in an apartment there.

    Being from the Northeast, I've never been to the south except for I-95 on the way to Florida.  I'd love to see Charleston with its history and charming mansions.  I'm assuming the cast is from the South, except Craig.  I love the clothing the girls wear .. The casual and evening dresses, the town and restaurants, etc. If only I could get the hubby to take me. I'd  tempt him with Hilton Head as he's a golfer.  Ha.

    Maybe you can convince your husband to vacation on Isle of Palms? There’s a nice resort there (Wild Dunes) with a beautiful golf course (as well as tennis, pools, fitness, etc.) - all ocean side. Shep lives just down the coastal road on Sullivan’s Island. Charleston (downtown) is less than 30 I’m minutes (and a trip over the Ravenel bridge) away. It really is a gorgeous city with a rich history.

  10. I think Dean keeps calling for Tori’s welfare checks to establish her mental instability. Separation/divorce to follow. Dean gains custody and Tori pays support, based on documented instances of Tori’s mental issues, and possibly substance abuse.

  11. I seem to remember reading something in one of Tori’s early books, but now think I imagined it... maybe someone here can help me out.

    I thought I read that Tori’s parents were not happy about her marriage to Charlie Shanahan (sp?). Am I remembering that correctly? If so, I’ll bet Candy is really regretting not supporting that relationship more. Dean’s appearance in Tori’s life is a train wreck, with serious damages to all of Dean’s kids (and Lola too).

    I went down the rabbit hole on IG and found Liam and Stella's accounts. Both the guncles and Randy Spelling comment cute things on the kids' pictures. Randy especially on Stella's cooking posts. 

    Mehran commented on Stella's post about a cake she made. 

    Liam also follows Mehran, and is relatively new on Instagram, so that means Mehran must be in their lives at least a little.

    Good detective work!

  13. Maybe Tori has been trying to get pregnant, but now in her early 40s, it isn’t happening. Perhaps Beau turning one was a trigger - she had hoped she’d be pregnant again by now, and she’s realizing Beau may be her last one.

    Also, I’ve long suspected she has a pill problem (migraines, accidents, even pregnancy recovery = new prescriptions). Perhaps her supply has dried out?

    Last thought - whatever happened to her friend Mehran? I’m guessing the crazy got too much and he bailed. He seemed like a good, level-headed influence in her life. And what about the “guncles” (lame title) - are they gone too?

  14. I like the name Gideon. I used to babysit a Gideon (in the late 70s).

    My first baby was 10 lbs. 3 oz. as well! He was born 13 days late via c-section after failure to progress. He was so big, he held his head up on his own, and he immediately wore 3 mos. clothes. Also, the newborn diapers we'd stocked up on were too small!

    They say subsequent babies are bigger, but I had three more, all smaller than the one before! My fourth was 7 lbs. 30 oz. - three pounds less than number one!

    Thank you for the clickable link. A childs death can change a family in an instant. It looked like he had come to peace with it...I'm glad for him. 

    Yes. I lost two siblings in a tragic accident that instantly changed the dynamic of the entire family. My mother never fully recovered and was unable to parent fully afterward. Two older surviving siblings have never really recovered either, and have had numerous challenges throughout their lives.

    I got to thinking about Austen's younger sister, and I wonder how she feels knowing she wouldn't have been born had the older sister not died.

    My younger sibling always felt as though he was a "replacement baby" after two of my older siblings died. It wasn't necessarily a positive thing for him.

    So in the last episode they showed some glimpses of their new home, which they talked up as their "forever" home and how they would all grow old together in this home - and yet as soon as they finished the reno, it went on the market.

    http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/hot-property/la-fi-hotprop-nate-berkus-hollywood-home-for-sale-20160914-snap-story.html

    Hmm, so they didn't like their own finished reno? The neighborhood? Found something they liked better?

    That's not the same home. It's a different flip than the forever home shown on air.

    I've read that the Gaines are Fundy-lite, but their kids are cherished, go to school and they don't promote their views on their show.

    Chip and Joanna Gaines worship at Antioch Church where the pastor is a homophobe who supports "conversion therapy," and opposes LGBTQ rights. Of course, to maintain their empire, the Gaineses have tried to distance themselves from that part of the pastor's beliefs. However, I find it hard to believe that if they did not share those beliefs, that they would continue to worship at the church. I will not support any of the Gaineses endeavors - shows, books, merch, etc.

    Does anyone know the stats on Fundy families with marrying off their kids? The Bates have 1 son & 3 daughters married and a 4th daughter engaged. The Duggars have 1 son & 3 daughters married and a 4th daughter engaged. Is it typical for the daughters to marry first?

    So MEChelle and Kelly, now in this new season of life, have abandoned the number of babies competition for how many kids can we marry off competition?

    She should stop. She needs to stop. However she seems to like to have children in pairs. One & then quickly an "uh-oh I don't know how that happened" second. Also, she gets her name regurgitated in magazines with pregnancies & babies. Trash rags or real gossip ones it's all publicity that feeds her & the bloated one's egos. 

    You know, you're right. She does like to have the babies in pairs.

    I had four babies - all C-section, after complications with the delivery of the first one led to that. After number 4, my doctor said "no more" as he was stitching me up. He said my muscles are weakened. So, no more babies (we were done anyhow). But I am now experiencing many issues after a hysterectomy I had recently. In large part because of scar tissue, and muscle weakening for the births. So, not just future pregnancies, but other issues could crop up for Tori as well.

  20. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4249918/Dean-McDermott-s-ex-claims-owes-100K.html

    Dean's ex is coming at him hard for unpaid child support. They have a court date March 7 - right around Tori's due date. 

    Apparently, there were two "threads" about money from Tori and Dean. They had it/they didn't have it. Jack (Dean's son with Mary Jo), seems to have his act together - working, attending colllege on scholarship (no college $ from dad). Also, according to Mary Jo, Jack now identifies as gay.

    We haven't seen Beth's family either, hell I don't remember if they mentioned anyone other than her dead dad. The show has tons of characters and is also delving into the past of course their are storylines we aren't going to see at this point. 

    Maybe Sophie is Miguel's daughter... is that possible?

    I like the name Henry, or nickname Harry.  I named my first son Nathan after my dear grandpa, and you would not believe how many people chastised me for giving him an "old man" name.  I said I hoped he would spend most of his life as a man and besides I loved my grandpa.  He has never had a nickname and he is nearing 50 and he loves his name.  That we are Jewish and Nathan was a prophet in the Old Testament didn't play into the choice of names for my son.  Just my dear grandpa.

    Aw, I love that. We are also Jewish, and my son was named Asher after his maternal Great Grandfather. We love the name, however we've been surprised to see it showing up on so many baby name "trending" lists...
