Grumpbump

I had to rewind it because I could not believe what I heard. And then I wanted to come back here and comment, but I got distracted by the Presidential debate. I also wanted to find Siggy on social media, perhaps Twitter?, and just go off on her. I despise this attitude espoused by people with children, as if some basic biology gives your life meaning. I mean, maybe it does, but for those of us (either by choice or other), it's a pretty stuck up and narrow-minded view to take. Siggy can have her "life" with kids who do everything possible not to be with her. I'll just hang out with my cats and knitting and enjoy life.

Could someone please recap the episode? BB was pre-empted in my area because of of hurricane coverage. Thank you so much!

I came in here to bitch about Jacqueline always having to be the center of attention, but then I was so impressed with the rest of the housewives not taking her bait. Instead, they turned it around and calmed things down. I was actually watching them act like grownups. So impressed with them. I still think Jacqueline is a child but was really impressed by the rest of them. I never thought I would say that about Teresa or Melissa.

Well, that was a fake out between Jacqueline and Teresa. And, I'm happy about that. I don't need those two to fight anymore. I wish it was the series finale tonight. Everyone friendly, focusing on their kids, running their "businesses" and turn the cameras off. There's nothing left and I don't really like the idea of Jac and Teresa or Teresa and Melissa or anyone fighting.

This show has become the equivalent of Three's Company. When I realized that Richard was spewing to the reporter, not to the coach, I turned to my husband and said, "He's channeling Jack Tripper".

I am used to Shameless pushing the envelope so I don't have big reactions to watching it. But, last night I reacted so badly to Debbie dropping Francie that my husband came in the room because he was genuinely concerned. I had to apologize to him because I didn't even realize how much I reacted. Very upset that Fiona pronounced the baby "fine" without taking her to the ER. Babies aren't that resilient and you are not a doctor, Fiona! But what do I know, I only have cats. Finally, I am in the same boat as some of you....too much rotten luck in the Gallagher family. Why couldn't Ian keep his internship? Between the baby dropping, this, and Lip's self destruction, I was pretty depressed after this episode. Also, one last thing, SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE BABY FRANNIE A BOTTLE.

Re: Zombie House Flippers - I live in Orlando and while watching the show, I get on the Property Appraiser's website and I have found that on the last few shows, they exaggerate the price they pay for the homes and the sales price. Also, the episode from this past weekend, "Monster House" included a gator in the pool. The show included a scene where the team placed fried chicken (I swore to my husband it was from Publix - which is a great grocery store found in the South) as a bait to coax the gator out of the pool and patio area. That's so illegal. You are not allowed to feed gators. Period. Alligators should never see people as a food source. They only paid $315,000 for the Monster House (the show says they paid $350,000). According to the county records, the house has not sold and it's on the MLS at $649,900.00

I may come across as disrespectful but Mr. Grumpbump and I have ourselves a bit of laugh every time they drawl out Ewwwwwgenay Baaaawwwfontaine. Also, my cats like to shit in my backyard and it got to smelling something fierce. Told Mr. Grumpbump to give Aubry and Rodie a call.

I do not like seeing Nene back in the fold. If she's so rich, why can't she but clothes that fit her? The word "sloppy" kept coming to mind while watching her on screen. Is she afraid of bras? Damn. You are too old not to strap those girls in.

Phaedra and Ayden broke my heart this episode. In a show full of made-up drama, this little bit of humanity gave me all the feels. For all Phaedra's faults, her children, especially Ayden, are so precious.

At the beginning of the episode they described their family vacation, driving cross country with the kids and visiting 30? states. That's the way you reconnect as a family. The story should have ended there. Not uprooting the clan and forcing them to completely relearn a new living arrangement. The one bathroom for six people bothers me too. I know it's not that unusual but I really felt bad for the older girls. Is there any resale value in those tiny houses? I guess the land could increase in value but I can't see the home really adding value. I think I would be hilarious to check in with them a few years later to find that they added onto the house. Maybe that second bathroom? Also, their realtor's reactions were the best part of the episode, especially when she tried to say that she understood what they were doing and she respected their decision. Bwah!

I watched the episode with the CA family of six downsizing to 100 sq ft per person. This is a cute and even understandable concept for couples, but these guys have four kids! And their oldest is 14 and Dad's reasoning is that she is not going be at home forever. What? You are telling her now that she's on a four-year deadline? Argh. And they really considered a house with no indoor toilet?? Also I noticed Mom had her nails done. I seriously question their priorities.

My thoughts on the episode (some of you have already touched on them): * Lisa R.'s girls calling the people of Medford "chub chubs". Really pissed me off (perhaps because I am a chub-chub). What brats. We should have heard Lisa reprimand them for their intolerance and judginess. * I like Eileen and her home and her story a lot. It helps that I have watched y&r since I was 11 years old. I believe what she says and I don't think it's (much of) a facade like the other women. * Did Lisa V say her hooker shoes were only $1,400? Doesn't that seem cheap to a woman who has swans in her moat around her house? Those shoes (didn't quite hear the designer's name) were sparkly and super bedazzled. Certainly I misheard. As long as I get to see the house porn on this show, I am in for the duration, even though I can't stand Brandi; she doesn't fit the franchise and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I have always loved Stockard Channing, but she has *destroyed* her face. So distracting. I love her as Alicia's mom, though. She just crazy enough.

We were definitely robbed of the spectacle that would have been a live Frankie eviction. I am so glad he's gone but I was even more angered when he insisted on holding Julie's hand during the video messages. It was too.much as typical with this guy. The more I thought about it, the more I think that Frankie is a time traveler and he has come to us from the early 20th Century where he was a silent film star and he honed his skills of over reacting and making grand gestures and movements. That's the only explanation for his inappropriate gestures and for how damn old he looks.

Notwithstanding that she's had The.Cancer, Amber really needs a makeup consult. Makeup is supposed to highlight but with her heavy hand, all I see is the makeup. I feel like I don't know what Amber really looks like.

Isn't the "you'll get wings" the Red Bull slogan? And that Joe Gorga thinks because Melissa is "gorgeous" that titans of industry will fall at her feet? She's a joke and pretty much a worthless human being.

I don't have the feeds so I heavily rely on you all for information. RE: Ariana Grande reveal....did Victoria already know? I thought that was the consensus. Or was she legitimately surprised by the reveal?

I love Stockard Channing. Why did she mess with her face? She looks painfully plasticized.
