    This past episode with the family moving from Indiana to Italy with nine flipping kids kind of rubbed me the wrong way. The parents had this dream of living in a pedestrian-oriented town where they could ditch their cars and bike/walk everywhere -- that's cool; my kind of city/town, to be honest, but that involved moving their nine children into a three bedroom house. Four girls in one room, two girls in another, the eldest son had a room to himself, the second youngest boy slept in a nook under the stairs (because he chose it, according to the parents), and the baby slept in the parents' room.

     

    I can't explain why, but I was really bothered by their arrangement. Shoving 11 people in a three bedroom house, willingly, sounds absurd. I wonder how the dream will hold up once the four youngest girls hit puberty and start jockeying for space -- and they would be well within their rights to do so.

    I hate to admit it, but I've done the same thing.  It has nothing to do with me wanting to sound upper crust, but more with I think naturally talking like all the people around you.  I find if I go to the south, I slip into some crazy Southern accent, almost subconsciously.  Maybe its my subconscious need to fit in.  I think I did the same thing when I visited London.  

     

    Subconsciously adopting nuances of another's person's accent, especially foreign-sounding ones, is actually quite normal. It's a mechanism that promotes empathy for the other person and it allows you to be more easily understood. I soften my, rather harsh sounding Southern-tinged, accent for my grandma all the time and take on traits of the way she speaks since she wasn't born here. But Noelle? Nuh uh. That accent is totally forced.

    Ha! So true.  But her eyes are gorgeous.  

     

    I feel like I say it every episode, but I hate Noelle's faux-Brit accent!  And why is she such a snob?   

     

    I cannot believe Juliet asked the Cavalli salesman if Caroline got a Friends and Family discount.  Where does she think she is, Bed Bath & Beyond?  

     

    I think Julie's eyes are scary -- they're so blue that they look colorless. I don't like to look at her, to be honest.

     

    Noelle's fake accent seriously grates. Every time she speaks, I parrot whatever she says back to myself, but in a snarky manner. She could not get away with that in The States because she would have been called out a long time ago. I'm surprised Caroline hasn't said anything about Noelle's accent because I'm sure she's thought of it.

    I believe if you're gonna be a gold-digger, be a smart one. Noelle is a dumb one. How are you gonna go after a man who is literally hiding hundreds of millions, if not billions, from his ex-wife and think he wouldn't do the same to you? How are you gonna date a man with all this money and be sleeping on your friend's couch for months on end? She is a pretty girl and she's dated at least one other man, that we know about, who had money and wasn't shady so what the hell possessed her to move onto someone like Scot? She's too greedy. Greedy and stupid.

    As extremely annoying as Juliet is, standing up and actually stating, "I'm done. This has gone too far. I'm leaving." is very rude. Annabelle is completely within her right to be offended by everything happening around her, even though it was a very tame party, but to stalk out like that? Really? She's showing herself to be a completely humorless person, and here I thought I was going to like her when the show started.

     

    The best part of the night was Caroline wondering what the hell was up with Caprice when she was fussing over Annabelle. She was basically calling Caprice out on her fakery without saying it outright.
