I'm also disconnected from the plot because of the factual idiocy of no food but nutrition cubes, and high vaulted ceilings with bedrooms stocked with Victorian costumes but... NOT ENOUGH FOOD.
My thought is that there is food, but Sarah and Kathy's characters aren't feeding it to them....

DId anyone catch the change of music to Stevie Nicks? And it panned in on Michael.

That scene was quintessentially American Horror Story, which I haven't felt since, well...Hotel (don't hate, I enjoyed that season, even if it was all over the place. I just wish Denis O'Hare was in this season). Can't wait to see the witches!
I said to my husband - here comes the Coven connection with Stevie's song in the background. Everything always means SOMETHING in AHS with Ryan....

I have been looking forward to this rant since I saw it in previews. This is why I can never quit Leanne. Her weave is exhausted, though. She and Deandra would look great with shoulder-length hair that is not pitch black.
This...
And LeeAnne's wedding planner is what I refer to as "prematurely black". For the love no human has hair that color! It was solid, pitch black.
14 hours ago, zenme said:Ok, I'm sorry, but I'm still extremely skeptical about a family of gingers JUST SO HAPPEN to have a ginger baby randomly drop into their lives for adoption...no waiting, nothing. I wasn't born yesterday. The theory I'm tossing around is that Bryan had an affair with a young college co-ed. She doesn't want to be a mother now and Bryan doesn't want to be entangled with her, BUT she doesn't want to have an abortion. So Bryan either convinces Brandy to adopt the baby, or he has Travis (friend of the adoption service guy) help him plot to have Stephanie coincidentally find out the adoption agency has a white baby boy who needs a home.
I feel like they are smart enough to know that a real backstory would come out if there were one with this being on the show. Solely for that reason, I believe it is just a happenstance that they found a red haired baby boy that needed adopting.
13 hours ago, ghoulina said:Stephanie's husband is back to giving me sketch vibes. If my husband had to be away from our kids for a month, and we had the means, he'd be insisting that we come visit! Travis didn't seem like he just didn't know his schedule; he seemed to want to put her off the idea entirely.
I agreed with LeAnn that D'Andra can dish it out, but not take it. She had no problem coming hard for LeAnn about HER personal life.
I have been to some of those executive education week or two long trainings and they are no joke. We are not even allowed to have spouses or children on site much more than a drop off or pickup from the company owned training facility and hotel where you must stay... These are not 8-5 classes but all day, every day and then groups/teams with assignments that must be worked on after the training time is over with etc. A family or spouse that showed up for a weekend would likely cut into the team work time and thus cause repercussions for him in the successful completion of the training course. I can see him wanting to get there and get the "lay of the land" before agreeing to have the fam come up over a weekend.
Yeah - LeeAnne was harsh to D'Andra but no harsher than D'Andra was to LeeAnne about her wedding. I was shocked she couldn't take it....
12 hours ago, Pickles said:Leeann wants 500-1000 guests at her wedding??
This is just dumb. I would doubt there are that many people that like her plus it is her husbands 3rd or 4th wedding - talk about social etiquette violations...

Dear Cary - there aren’t any Michelin star restaurants in Dallas or the whole state of Texas - not just Fort Worth stockyards.

I could never work in an environment where the entire office of employee's sits at one big table. How do you make business phone calls or concentrate on your own work when you can hear everybody else talking? It's an awful, uncomfortable set up. I know it's the new hip way to do it but give me my old fashioned private cubicle or desk any day and save the big table for meetings only!
I work in such an environment after YEARS and YEARS of having an office and prior to that having a cube with walls. I thought the same as you -- that I would hate it. I don't hate it at all and frankly enjoy it... It builds a different camaraderie than offices/cubes can.

After watching the show, I think Jenny and Jeff are in on this together to attract more press for the show somehow.
And watching the show and knowing Jenny hadn't worked there in ages, it was very obvious by her interactions with the other folks. Especially the woman who hugged her like she hadn't seen her in ages whose house they are redoing and were redoing last season. She also had to ask for phone numbers of people who she would have had their # had she really been Jeff's assistant. I like how they gave her a new title and all. But I am suspicious of it being an actual "break-up" and not done for ratings.

t is somehow hard to believe that Brandi has only been with Brian her entire life. I DO believe it, it’s just surprising at the same time. She never broke up with him and dated a Cowboys football player briefly? Too bad for her, lol.
They have fraternization rules against the DCC dating the Players.

Queen of the group? Lol why god why weren’t there cameras around to film that.
This was the reason for the pageant - to determine who was queen of the group. It was a battle between LeeAnne and D'Andra
15 hours ago, dosodog said:Um? Cary's TH eye shadow? Really?
I commented to my husband how great Cary looked with shorter darker hair and more natural makeup than she did in that talking head with the light wavy blonde hair and GOBS of makeup on in weird, wild colors. That was not flattering at all. She is so pretty at the vacation home more natural....
11 hours ago, yourmomiseasy said:I'm not liking D'Andra being all up in her business regarding the wedding. I'm pleasantly surprised that LeAnne didn't lose her shit. I liked Cary jumping in and fixing LeAnne's eyelash without a second thought.
Yeah - I though D'Andra went too far for knowing they were on camera. Off camera, I think its a conversation that they could have as long-time friends.... I was surprised LeeAnne didn't go berserk on her
11 hours ago, Marley said:I like Brandi and D’andra as friends they are entertaining. I can see Leanne getting jealous tho.
Yep - LeeAnne seems pretty possessive of her friendship with D'Andra and it is only a matter of time til she loses her cool. Which - she has been pretty cool - compared to seasons prior LeeAnne...
5 hours ago, whydoievencare said:That scene with Carey and Kameron when Carey was trying to impress upon Kameron that it's not all about her reminded me of a scene from The New Adventures of Old Christine where Richard is trying to do the exact same thing with Old Christine - and she finds it almost impossible to grasp. Looked but couldn't find a Youtube.
Loved that show....

I did see the salons that Marshall works at (or owns) do a makeover package, so I'm guessing the top local candidates have already gone in for a preliminary consultation at least.
Marshall is employed by and does not own the local to DFW area chain of salons - Tangerine.

Did anyone else see a doll propped in the window of the room where Camille found the teeth? The same way Natalie had been propped in that window in the alley?
Yes - so creepy!!!
13 hours ago, SoWindsor said:What was the significance of Camille noticing how Ammas new friend was eating — didn’t really get that. But it definitely seemed like Amma had killed the new friend.
My husband and I rewound and tried to see what it said but it looked like she might be a cutter too or that Camille thought she might be a cutter? We never could see what it said.
1 hour ago, Blakeston said:The only thing I found shocking about the finale was that Amma was never revealed to be Camille's biological daughter. That was the one cliche that somehow didn't get included in the script!
yeah - I kept expecting that too. There were quite a few cliches in the miniseries.
One question I have is how to Camille get so "clean" from her alcoholism so quickly? I get she was in the hospital awhile and I was convinced by her new demeanor that she was no longer abusing alcohol but how did she get there so quickly?
I feel like I need to read the book. I should say though that i loved the first half of Gone Girl and hated hated hated the ending....

So... we moved in May and I am just now getting around to ordering a front-door doormat. I was deeply concerned *cough* that it would not be the appropriate size due to the RHOA lesson we learned this season. I am pretty sure I did okay... But had to share that with the folks on here as before it would have never crossed my mind.

I have loved reading everyone’s ideas on the show. I was shocked by part 2 but haven’t rewatched (probably won’t). I guess we just have to wait and see or visualize it differently. We each write our own endings to these shows (I never thought Tony Soprano died outside that diner — I don’t hate on those who do though!) and in our minds it all sorts itself out...
Interested to see what comes up in the next episode!

Im from the midwest and Missouri is definitely not midwestern in any way im familiar with, culturally. I dont identify with Arkansas or any of Miss, either. I think we need more than a few names to put to places.
What about Adora? Does she seem sufficiently Southern?
Yes -- they all seem southern but I have a hard time knowing it is Missouri and thinking "southern".
If you asked me to name a southern state, I would name VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, TN, FL, MS, LA, AR then I would name KY, TX and I probably would never name Missouri.
A quick google reference:
QuoteMissouri typically is categorized as both a Midwestern and a southern state. The region was split on Union and Confederate issues during the Civil War. A small region of the state is called Little Dixie for the influx of southerners that settled there.
QuoteLittle Dixie is a historic 13- to 17-county region of mid-to-upper-mid Missouri along the Missouri River, settled at first primarily by migrants from the hemp and tobacco districts of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee. Because Southerners settled there first, the pre-Civil War culture was similar to that of the Upper South. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Dixie_(Missouri)
However Little Dixie is geographically more in the center of the state near Jefferson City than "spitting distance"from Tennessee.

I'm from the deep south and just have a hard time with Missouri discussed as being southern. To me, its the midwest. This town seems more like Northwest Mississippi or Arkansas to me.
I am totally intrigued with this show and wouldn't understand half of what is going on with this show if I didn't read this board. I feel like I need to read the book but trying to wait til the show is over so that I am not totally spoiled.

So at least we now know that Cole was in Madison, WI for the conference and that is relatively close to O'Hare....
Loved them playing along with the thought that they were a couple at the motel. Anton was hilarious and a great roadmate for Cole and Noah.
I was so hoping it wasn't Alison and totally shocked that they went there... Glad I watched this "live" last night...

I predict ( non book reader so just my guesses)
Young Camille was molested and or raped, and became promiscuous. Amma is the result of it- Camille gave birth to Amma and Adora raised her as her own.
Adora is a reformed slut and has something against young girls that are promiscuous. She and Amma were probably somehow involved in the murders.
Adora has dirt on Chief Vickery. Could he be Camille’s biological father?
YES!!!! ME TOO!

They were in line at Southwest airlines -- SWA only flies into Midway in the Chicago area. So not O'hare if we are to believe they were on Southwest...

Katherine looks like Ann Margaret at this reunion.
I thought she looked like she could be a Judd sister. Like somewhere between Ashley Judd and Naomi Judd. I can see a little Ann Margaret too. She looked older than her true age for sure which isn't usually what we ladies go for... :-)

the only thing I got out of this episode was that Cole ordered a rib eye, well done.
My husband and I remarked on this. I cannot believe anyone in the restaurant business would order it well done. No way you go to any restaurant and order meat that way if you are with other industry folks. If you don't like meat (you can't if you get it well done), order seafood or pasta.

Naomie has lost control of her show narrative and she knows it.
Naomie is getting such a bad edit this season. I get she is acting out but my goodness they aren't leaving anything to doubt with her... She is on everyone's case and just seems plain old mean at this point...
On 5/4/2018 at 3:28 PM, SuprSuprElevated said:I'm on the Kathryn Isn't Out Of The Weeds Yet team. Plus, a Berkin bag Kathryn? Gurl, you better stick that cash in a bank account. Reality TV doesn't make for long careers, outside of those horrible people with a double K monogram.
Yeah, she may have over-acted that particular scripted scene.
Her Birkin is faux -- I think this was established a few seasons ago when she met her friend for lunch and was carrying this bag or one similar.

I do not like Kim on RHOA but I do enjoy her own show. She is definitely in a different "character" mode in each of these shows with only a few small similarities. (red solo cup!) I think on her show she has geniune interactions with others whereas Kandi had it right when she called her out on being more on the peripheral of the show and waiting to escape back to Kroy. These genuine interactions make her infinitely more likable. Kroy has a lot more personality too.
Has Marlo been to Chateau Sheree? I am wondering what she would say about her (from what I could tell and I did rewind a few times) lack of porch mat? Is no mat better than a small mat? Inquiring minds...Prize of the night should have gone to Nene and Greg as Exterminator and Roach. PERFECT SHADE....
On to the reunion....

I'm thinking more than ever that Lily had gone into remission or was never sick.
14 hours ago, vibeology said:That was heartbreaking. Lane killed that girl and set Nic up all at once. Bell is a shitty doctor, but Lane is worse because she's a fucking murderer.
Also, I'm pretty sure Lily never even had cancer. That's how Lane cures uncurable cancers. And I imagine why the doses of chemo are so high, to hid the fact that many of her patients are perfectly healthy.
I think it is this for sure. No one can cure *that many* incurable cancers else they would share the method and it would become curable.
13 hours ago, Jlina said:That was the big, glaring hole in an INTENSE episode! Nic being so trusting was completely out of character. Plus it was verbal!!!! Shouldn't she have looked to make sure it was in writing somewhere? I was screaming at her, what are you thinking????
I was shocked that there weren't specific orders in a system and that she did verbal orders and even questioned them but still did it. We *all* saw that setup coming but my goodness what a cold blooded killer we have in Lane.

I knew as soon as Wyatt got a text that he figured out Jessica was alive. I don't get how though. Even if they were still married, he's been living in the bunker so she wouldn't be expecting him to come home. I expected to wait at least one episode before they brought her back, but I guess it is a short season.
Or maybe she thinks Wyatt turned into a criminal or something, since this mission is no longer really sanctioned by the government. That could be one reason for not being happy to see him. It looked like her ring was an engagement ring, not a wedding band, but who knows.
It was no surprise to me that she was alive after they finally got together. Bummer that it was soooooo soon after the hookup!
I also noticed the engagement ring so I feel like she disappeared herself and was definitely not happy to see Wyatt.....
2 hours ago, BooBear said:Got to disagree with you there. If my dead husband/ love of my life, texted me when they were supposed to be dead, nothing on this planet would keep me from getting to them just to see if it was true. Regardless of feelings. That whole feelings mess would be totally independent from the need to know. Especially after last season. Plus why say something to Lucy or anyone when you don't know if it is true.
Reminds me of Grey's Anatomy when Meredith said to her "lover" who found out his wife was alive (coincidentally played by the actress playing Lucy!) and was leaving to go see her -- "If it was Derrick, I'd have already been gone."

I hated Carrie for storming out and taking Frannie with her. Frannie obviously loved living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins, and was thriving from having a stable home life. What kind of mother sees their child so happy and well adjusted after the trauma of last season and decides to mess that up again?
14 hours ago, JocelynCavanaugh said:Carrie needs to give that kid up already. Far too many late-night raids for one childhood. Having Carrie get knocked up by a terrorist, and keep the baby, and raise her horribly, is by far the worst misstep in this show's history. And yes, I'm remembering the other missteps. This is the one that's bugged me the most.
I feel really bad for Frannie in all of this and I can't get the scene from a few seasons ago when she almost drowned her out of my head when they show them together. She really is basically unfit to be a full time mom to her.
14 hours ago, chocolatine said:Did anyone get the sense that there is/was some kind of romantic relationship between Keane and Wellington? The way he insisted in his resignation letter that Simone "meant nothing" - why would Keane care if their relationship was strictly professional? And obviously Simone didn't "mean nothing" since he's been seeing her for four years.
12 hours ago, Pallas said:Wellington's second letter said he has "true feelings" for the POTUS, and she didn't let him say it, but neither did she let him resign. Was this only his way of securing his job; was this merely, only his way of securing his job, or is he in fact in cahoots with at least one member of the opposition? I'm beginning to think there are at least two separate, active plots against Keane -- one Russian, one domestic -- and that Wellington is, in fact, tied to the latter. Another reason he was gobsmacked to hear about the Russian action, and how he was implicated.
Saul told Max that he took down the surveillance in Wellington's house. I wonder if Saul told a fib.
Yeah I definitely got the vibe that either they already were a couple having an affair or he wanted to have one with her or SOMETHING was in the works....
And no way did Saul take down the surveillance. I am sure he just redirected it to his team to view!

S03.E01 Nine Bucks

Oops my bad - he was in his 50s. I thought he was in his late 20s.
I believe that this is the last we are seeing of Franco as a character on the show (just a hunch - not a spoiler) . We may see him in more football tape but not as a person who would interact with the others.
I do not know about health tests but I do know a couple who are similar sized to Toby and Kate that adopted a baby 2-3 years ago and were able to do so fairly easily (from the outside looking in - I am sure it was anguishing for them going through the process)
I have zero idea how they could possibly afford and pay for the treatments. I know couples who have very good incomes and are in very good health who have trouble with the exhorbitant (just my opinions) costs. I do not think Kate has a job and not sure what Toby does but he isn't pulling down big bucks like an actor (Kevin) or a stock analyst/crop futures wiz (Randall). I need to know how they are paying!!!!
I absolutely loved the literal carrot cake she made....
Interesting with the JLH reference given she is on 911 this season and the folks on that board seem to hate her...
They would still be in the bar waiting as I would be totally scared to death that they were a creepy stalkery guy.
