Can anyone source Jane/Jada's black and cherry dress from the finale? I'm sure it's something I can't afford and I know I have nowhere to wear it, but it was super cute.

There is an article in the BB in the Media thread that talks about all the things thy did to give him an even playing field.

I know the racial slur is bad, but I was equally horrified by what Luke said afterward, about how Jared should have him on the ground and be standing over him screaming or whatever. That was awful.

I didn't get the couples massage thing either. My husband and I have had two couples massages and honestly, we didn't speak to each other or have anything special happen other than we were both getting massages at the same time. There were rose petals with our initials on the floor. But there were still two therapists and they worked on us together. It's a massage, not an orgy.

I think I'm repeating myself, but I've been watching Degrassi on Pluto and last night was the episodes about And I cannot stress enough how well done I think those episodes were. The seemingly minor things that all just piled on top of each other that, when combined, led to his feelings was just so typical. It wasn't one big thing, it was a lot of smaller things. I still absolutely love that they never actually showed his body or the method of death. All the different reactions were also so varied and normalized. This show does things so well most of the time.

Brayden isn't entirely wrong in that Charity is always "on" and it would be nice to spend time with her as Charity and not in these manufactured Bachelorette moments. But did he know what show he was signing up for? Because this is what you get. If he wanted to meet a woman in natural circumstances without any of this superficial fluff, he needs to go meet women in his real world. What a tool.

I thought this was something she put in the shoe to stretch out the straps because they didn't fit her correctly, but she bought them anyway. Had no idea this was the actual design of the shoe.

I remember that wedding dress that Nora made, and I, too, thought it was really pretty at the time. It was also expected, traditional, and basic. The technique with the flower petals inside of the mesh started appearing everywhere in flower girl dresses a few years later and it made me think of that dress, because it was really cute on little flower girls. There is absolutely a market for people who want a traditional princess cupcake wedding dress. I remember really liking Laurence on her season, and seeing her back this season is great. She's just very cool without even trying to be. I'm fairly certain she is way too cool to ever want to hang out with me, but I would love to learn just a little bit of her attitude to emulate it. It struck me watching this why I love Christian now and couldn't stand him in his season. Other than all the great press he gets for designing for plus sized women when no one else will, I think the confidence he has now is earned. When he was a 21 year old arrogant little shit who didn't listen to critique, it was annoying. But he has a supreme mount of confidence in himself and his ideas and he has proven that he has earned that. I really loved him ordering Nora out of the silk aisle because he knew she was out of practice and would not be able to work with that fabric (not that what she ended up with was any better). Overall, I'm glad this show is back in my life.

My theory is that we are getting set up for some sort of a mental health crisis for Mariana. Several times it has been mentioned that she should talk to someone about her trauma and her stress is clearly at sky high levels. I'm cautiously looking forward to it, because this show (and the Fosters before this) have generally handled mental health well. Obviously things get solved more quickly than in the real world, but they don't shy away from things. The amnesia thing bugs me. It's a tired trope and annoying and feels like they didn't know what else to do. @circumvent I'm with you on the hair. I wondered if at the start it was just because she was living on a farm and maybe not always able to access showers and shampoo and the like, but seriously! Cult members can still have good hair!

Alice had a line when she was talking about how all families fight at Thanksgiving and she said "Sumi is probably fighting with her family right now too!" or something along those lines.

I've been wondering about her DOC for a while now, did she specify that it was alcohol? I missed some of it. Unpopular opinion, but Carolyn bugs the shit out of me. I worked in substance abuse as a therapist for a long time and she reminds me of so many of the people I worked with. I know I am only seeing snippets of her on tv, but she really seems like a "dry drunk" where she is free from her substance but the behaviors are still there.

I'm rewatching Second Chances right now. He's such a good guy and seems really funny. Sad to hear of his passing.

AS far as why Lucas didn't go to Canada, maybe I'm stating the obvious here but moving is expensive. He has no ID so he can't get a passport and therefore can't get into that country either. They never specified where the aunt was, but I don't think he went to meet her, so maybe she lives in the LA area as well. Without an ID he can't do anything and he probably has to get a birth certificate in person so he can't even get into Canada to get it.

I get so annoyed with the tv trope of "If I don't get a scholarship I can't go to college". You can. You take out student loans like the rest of us, and with the Conners situation being what it is, there's no way Mark doesn't qualify for a Pell grant. Student loans are not ideal, but they are there and almost everyone takes them. It would be great if the system didn't work that way but it does. And until it gets fixed, do some research on how to take out loans in a responsible way and apply for every scholarship you can get your hands on.

I worked in substance abuse counseling for 3 years. That tracks. Most people work in the field and their only qualification is "recovering addict". I felt pretty out of place with my history of "went to school for counseling". It's a weird field.

I'm going to sound like a Boomer here, but these women have WAY TOO MUCH makeup on! I wouldn't have recognized Olivia if she wasn't sitting with Horacio. They all looked better when they were running the final, exhausted and make up free. And was anyone else just waiting for one of Tori's boobs to pop out of that shirt? It didn't really seem to fit right.

I have so many questions about Talia too. I get why she didn't want to participate in the documentary, but there was so much I wondered about, like where she was while all of this was happening. I know they briefly mention that she goes back to live on campus after she and her boyfriend break up, but then what? Is she ever around again? Are they still all friends? Does she know how fucked up her dad is? So....many...questions!

Third. He said after the thing with Alexis's dog that Mya had bitten a dog once before. This dog needs a muzzle and clearly needs to not be around other dogs. Training didn't work because she bit another dog there too. So I guess next time with be the FOURTH time.

Oh yeah, that guy. They kept emphasizing that she said it was okay if he smoked "occasionally" but he seemed to be doing it constantly. And they just kept saying "smoking" but it was most definitely weed. It's definitely a hard line and ridiculous to think you could pair a guy who wakes and bakes with someone who doesn't do it at all.

I know the other people you are talking about, but who had a drug problem?

I know we didn't see everything, but it really isn't that hard to make a blanket statment to everyone, not just your wife, and say "Listen, I've been working a lot, production is a lot, and I don't have the mental bandwidth to do everything with a smile on my face right now so give me some grace please". Most people would respect that and Miguel just needed to communicate that and people wouldn't have been thinking he was an ass for no reason. I have to give a ton of credit to Mitch for laughing during Krysten's impersonation of him, as well as to her for letting him know he could tell her if she goes to far. That scene was really charming to watch him have a sense of humor about himself for once. I think he takes himself too seriously much of the time and that was so good to see.

It was the overalls that gave her the Punky Brewster vibe.

The producers, most likely.

I'm far to old to be as excited as I am about this reboot.

The indicated Amara was truthful when she said her relative was not a reality TV star, but Whoopi is on the View. That's could be considered reality TV, right? It's a talk show, but it isn't a scripted series.
