I got the biggest kick out of him with the flowers and candy and walking away with them.... That was too cute. While I am happy it all got resolved, it was just too neat and tidy a bow on the season.... Nothing left hanging for next season....

Finally watched Summer House last night.... I did miss the Wirkus girls. I don't care of Kyle cheated on Amanda at all and it really is no one else's business. Looking at you Lindsey. I didn't miss snarky Steven one bit. Lindsey's boob job is a little saggy looking. Her hair is dreadful. She is so much prettier with the haircolor she had on the last 2 seasons. Carl... he'll be back to his old ways before we know it. I have confidence in that for sure... The whole get some "d" thing is disgusting to talk about -- though I don't mind if that is their whole goal - why talk about it so crudely. Just say "hook up" and leave it to our imaginations. I hope the season gets more engaging in upcoming episodes....

NO! It was bugging me and I couldn't decide if it was her cheek bone or a zit or a bruise. Agreed - I do think in larger cities the pay is better and they are more full-time. I know in the small town I grew up in, it was a very part-time job which pretty much just had "stipend" type money vs a true "salary". I notice someone mentioned the pay in Philly is mid 6 figures so likely FT. I thought he was going to quit too and I was terribly shocked that he didn't. I do think Beth should have volunteered to switch of night classes asap. I believe parents should actually raise their own children instead of dumping them off on sitters, grandparents and siblings. Thus why I do not have any children! I think this dream is a stupid addition to the show. Their girls aren't even in dance (that we know of) which is odd given it was Beth's "dream". And all those years she wasn't working outside the home before the job she was just terminated from? Why wouldn't she have danced or taught dance then? That would have been much more plausible than how it was introduced to us now... I am not buying "dream" - I am calling it her shady way to escape from corporate America since she is scared of failing again.... Also - if this is a bona fide, actual "dream" -- I seriously doubt that mid year a dance studio had all kinds of openings for teachers. Most seem to follow the school calendar and it would be "next semester/season" before a new teacher would be needed. I could see her subbing in for teachers as a start to get back into dance. At which point, the girls could go to the studio with her and hang in the "office" or "lounge" and do homework. I am not sure we've ever heard his last name spoken.... Agreed... My favorite parts were of the big 3 as babies and showing Kevin hanging onto/reaching out for Kate. I almost didn't recognize Miguel at the graduation. I can fanwave a lot but glad they are addressing Randall and Beth's financial situation. Rebecca should have insisted that Kate walk her high school graduation. You would think she would do everything in her power to help things go smoothly instead of rocking the boat had she been anyone other than Kate...

I like that he had a separate reason for bringing down Quovadis. I think he knows if he can do it "right" - it really can be successful and he can buy out the shady guy and the shady guy practices/policies and make it a respectable money making company.... I don't see this as him being "bad" or turning.... I see it as very in his character to see it from a financial standpoint.

he was also on Timeless.

I think it was all about the money and practicality. Non competitive dancing would be wasting Beth's time (in her mom's eyes) when she could be doing something more productive - like figuring out college. She really had older Beth down pat. Kudos to that young lady! Same! :-) Yes - the new ballet dancer was definitely not a ballet dancer body but both were exquisite! I enjoyed the episode overall and had many misty eyed moments. Loved Beth's dad. Loved her mom even when it was hard to - she just wanted the best for her kids. And while that is hard to deal with in the moment, I feel certain Beth is glad that her mom pushed her toward realist goals that did end well for her.... Unless you own the studio, you are not making more than fast food money teaching dance classes. As fit as she is, it would make more sense for her to own a Barre (of any flavor) workout studio where she could make a good living while incorporating her ballet background...

There is just no way that Rebecca didn't smell the whiskey on Kevin. That smell lingers and she has to be familiar with it from Jack's old drinking... She was a drinker at some point in her life (from what they've shown us) -- not as a problem -- just a drinker. You can definitely smell it on the person. I worry for Kevin that he won't get helped by his family and will spiral downward again.

Do we think the FDA guy that the pharma gal called is paid off by Quo Vadis to say she was looking for a career change or if she really did say that?

I didn't notice the cat when the people were "wiping" her apartment. How in the world is the cat not just going wild for food by now? My cats go feral if we are 5-10 MINUTES late to feed them their wet food meal (sharing a small can of fancy feast each night) -- that poor cat wouldn't have had a meal in a couple of weeks. Definitely didn't act hungry or LOOK hungry....

I think Tori has had too much filler which has squished up her face. Combine that with weight gain after all of her kids.... He hasn't been... Tagging off the idea of having all the singers do one show and then reveal - Maybe they do a 4 character show and instead of revealing one that was the "loser" -- have 3 revealed and 1 that moves on to a "finale" where they crown a winner and reveal all of the runners up.

Since Jenny McCarthy is married to Donnie Wahlburg- that makes me think they would not have (Marky) Mark Wahlburg on this show plus he is a little too A-B list for the show (IMHO)... People loved Donny Osmond when I was in elementary school. I was more of a David Cassidy fan myself if I had to pick from the musical families of the day....

I thought this week's show was one of the best of the series so far. We are getting closer to finding out the "truth". I enjoyed it.... I do wonder about the wiseness of saying the baby is Jon's given it looks like Ashley may have an idea that it isn't true and what she might do with that information....

You are probably right that it is Ricki but Ross did have a talk show on E! called Hello Ross from September 6, 2013, until May 16, 2014.

I agree the Captain and Fiona will be back. Fiona didn't seem scared enough to me. A typical person in a cockpit watching that weather would be FREAKING OUT I think. She just kinda sat there. I think it is interesting that sometimes they can tell who the bad guys are by weird feelings and visions and other times they just let the bad guy in to play video games with the chosen one.... UGH

I thought the Raven was Ross Matthews. His big loss would be his fairly recent breakup....

The screen said it was Josh's parents poodle - loved her!!!! I think the burglary is part of some larger burglary ring associated with houses on the market getting robbed. I think that is more of why they took it off the market than anything. I think I heard on the news that they caught the suspect in that ring or maybe another ring.... Great first episode back.

I just loved this finale for the show. I was glad it tied up the loose ends and it was as believable to me as a time travel show can be :-) It was an interesting twist to leave Amy in the original timeline and not in the present. I was kinda glad to see that but still a little sad that Lucy lost her sister all together for really no good reason that we were ever told... Loved Rufus saying he was 'shipping Lyatt.

Was micro-manage a saying in the 50’s? Re: packing for the Catskills

Masters Degree in the subject you are teaching is the only requirement.... I would think the 3 years of law school would be greater than the 2 years a masters degree typically takes. Now most university professors are PhDs or PhD candidates and any masters degree teacher would be working on PhD. I explored this option as a side gig in my 20s since I do have a masters degree.

I think she is going to have something degenerative related to her aches and pains she talked to Tess about. 8 credits isn't even a full time load but not sure you can take that at community college since usually you take those type course the first 2 years of school (100-200 level courses) and the last 2 years are more specifically focused on your major/minor in upper level courses (300-400 level) My high school drama teacher did not go to college but was a Broadway actress and was in movies in the 1960s. So I could handwave that Kate's lack of degree would not hold her back but it was nice to see something not just handed to her or working out perfectly for her. Yes I was one of the people who was concerned about how they were paying for it... I recall a beat-down of sorts for those of us who asked... haha No one gonna beat down Beth for saying that they were stretching it? I bet you are right about the Pearson Community Rec Center.... although I am really sick of the political race. I was so excited when his campaign manager told him it was not going to happen.... And I am #teamBeth on the whole thing.... Family First.

The woman with the platinum hair reminds me of Kim Zolciak-Bierman's best friend from Alabama. But way less tasteful. They were all a hot mess. I'm with Cary -- I'd rather have 175 dresses. The dress isn't horrible and likely there is a market out there for it - just not sure who? Apparently Kam was at an event near me a couple of months ago when a new dog bakery/barkery store opened. I didn't go (no dog and no interest in Kam) but she is still doing Sparkle Dog stuff. I am sure that production found the phone and forced or strongly suggested that Brandi should take the phone back to LeAnne for drama. I can't imagine Brandi would "want" to give her the phone back given the photos on it and would rather smash it with her shoe and throw it away into the Baltic. I am also really over all the LeAnne - Brandi drama. And cannot imagine why Kam is so far up LeAnne's rear-end. Can't wait to see the reunion....

I felt like Heidi was planting the seed in Walter to go to the small town in California and reiterated a couple of points to that end to ensure he would follow through. I think that is how she was able to find him. I think she did it for him as a way for him to escape but for her also to be able to reconnect to him. I was happy to see him coherent and not like his friend who had totally gone around the bend.

I mentioned a few episodes ago that I believe its some sort of stunt too.. I can’t see how Jenni can be upset about being fired from a job she hasn’t done for several years. She has not been an employee of JLD for several years so there is no financial penalty to her for being fired from a job she didn’t have or get paid for at JLD. I believe a lot of what they do doesn’t happen in their day to day work. I do not believe that they all go pick out a light fixtures on the regular. In prior seasons, they did talk about eating lunch together to be more productive and work through lunch. Also, the lunches with clients can be expensed. I think it would be hard to find people with the skills he needs who also want to be on TV. So he gets people with minimal skills who can be on TV. He can’t say that on the show or it would break the 4th wall. The same reason he can’t say - Jenni lets quit pretending you work for me and instead had to seem like he was offering her the opportunity to pursue her acting career 100% of the time. He really did not seem like an ass during that lunch. I listen to his radio show and he seems like such a nice person on the radio. I think we see the story of a jerk on the show since that is what is “funny” about the show. I am not saying he doesn’t have moments but I think a lot of his flipping out is for drama. I feel like this whole scenario with Jenni was also for drama. I am sure they are still friends in real life and are just milking this for the publicity.

I had to rewind on the Lance Armstrong comments too. I had forgotten that about Cary. You go girl. Cheater or not - he was pretty easy on the eyes back then. Maybe still is - I have no idea. In prior seasons, it was revealed that he had lost a good bit of weight. That with his age probably is why he looks less than with his clothes off. For him, it probably is a better shape than he was in - just not Nip/Tuck surgeon perfect.... Personally - I'd rather have the smart guy than the hot guy operating on me... THIS! When that picture flashed up as her "teenage" trip -- i had to rewind and see it again. It looks like it was just a few years ago. She is aging in reverse -- as she looks really, really great now. I am suspicious that this photo wasn't really from her teenage trip. I also concur with all the comments on how pretty D'Andra looks without all the makeup. She is naturally pretty and shouldn't let the "glam squad" go quite that glam. I think LeAnne was up to no good with the Brandi video and likely did email it to herself or some such to have to shame her with later. Especially since the hostess said no photos. Finally - I think Brandi is trying to stir up drama for drama sakes. And just can't quite pull it off. And she really does need to assess how her drinking comes off on the episodes. It is not shedding a good light on her.

I thoroughly enjoyed the finale. They wrapped up the loose ends (for the most part) and brought it back around to the good vs evil that Ryan Murphy loves and does so well. I was glad to see the two teens from the bunker show up again which tied up the "why" for them being in the bunker. They were the alternate plan if/when things went wrong for Michael after the Apocalypse. They needed to be safe in case there was a plan B. I loved how Mallory warned Queenie to try a different hotel to "save her". It was also funny that Mallory didn't immediately save Madison from retail hell. I do think it could be less confusing with different actors playing some of the roles but it also made it interesting.... I enjoyed this season so much more than last.
