Ding Ding Ding! And you are the winner of 'Where's He going with this Over Done Analogy"

Only if you then don a pair and go pants-less down main street for all to see.

I'm pretty sure to get back to having the now liquid asset Nene pay his bills, he made his balls into a pretty little purse to hold her more treasured and important items in life, a mirror, lip gloss, a back up mirror... I definitely agree about the patriarchal attitude of these women. I think it hits home especially on the Nene, Cynthia and Kandi front as, even though I find Todd a relatively nice guy for a reality show, I'm saddened none have the strength to find herself worth more than the men they seem to have taken on out of need and not simple want. However I think while Kenya brings a lot of different annoyances, the chief was is her carpet bagging status and the fact she swanned in acting like she was a lot more than the rest let alone what she actually is. I think that rubbed raw since the show was doing just fine without her. The main communal trait I see in these women is they are also territorial as all get out. And they seem to actually communicate either one on one for through proxies that does not get played out in social media when the cameras aren't running. Kenya has been on the "I want to be a star" track for awhile before she came on the show. I cannot imagine the flutter of noise that traveled out of Nene towards the others when it was made known she was joining the cast. Which is exactly why she was cast. She was Andy Cohen's clown and has made it work the show and for herself. And is just as full of herself to not recognize her level in the fame game as Nene was when she was cast on the Apprentice. Any attention is good for her. And for the women whose corner she came to add her own stream of piss in.

Yeah had Jon been Fox I would have expected it to be followed by a montage of the countless segments the show has done on how various US administrations have failed to realize how disparate the region's ethnic groups are. In fact in the last month when the show has mentioned ISIS I'm pretty sure I have heard Jon mention the arbitrary British map drawing. More than once. She danced. Jon though was the bad to outright horrible dj playing the tune though. I actually hope he wins a direction Oscar so he has the impetus to decide if he is truly done with the show as I suspect he is. Too bad we lost John Oliver for a 2015 replacement, but hopefully after March of next year Jon can decide not to be so half-assed in some regards and a worthy replacement can be groomed. Especially if it is true he is talking about doing a movie about Malala (seems almost redundant in some ways but he does have a rapport with her already).

Plus, while product placement issues demand it, who thinks a restaurant serves salsa in a store bought jar? Especially such a recognizable brand? It's not like this is some new to the market salsa. But then how many years did they try to pretend that coffee you have been secretly drinking was Folgers(?) or those hilarious Wal-mart ads telling people the steak they are eating, the rather gross last day allowed in the case by the FDA looking steak was bought at Wal-mart? (And packaged at a butchering center seven states over. On hi-def the one commercial the meat actually pre-cooked looks a touch grey around the edges. ) Still the ad bugs for all the reasons listed as well as the fact it never seems to establish what the guys are getting out of the whole "confusion" other than the "joy" of running ragged plonking down their ridiculous Cost-co hoard of bags and jars. But the new Keurig ads do the same thing. Why do I covet your machine so I can fulfill the demands of a bunch of rude neighborhood assholes, most I only know as "policeman, or garbageman". I always knew I was not the targeted demographic in almost every commercial. I'm just glad to have somewhere to vent because most of my friends have a real hard time of it trying to figure why it matters. Well it does. It does.

Actually I agree with the first two points. But on the third, the pic I saw (I'm quite proud I actually knew nothing about it the day it "broke" the internet despite being on the supposedly broken internet in my usual "too much" fashion until I watched @midnight -- I also saw the pic on a site I go to every day and so didn't even have to add to the search engine validation -- so there you tawdy attention slut),,,I have to disagree. Her crack actually looks to be too short for the sloping of her ass. I know this because as stereotypical as it is, I had a road crew outside my house all summer and had new plumping put in. I am a crack expert. No matter how full the ass, the crack doesn't stay the same size but it still starts at the same place. You do not push the ass out and cause the crack to start what looks like six inches from the base of her spine. You can't naturally make the body do that. What is funny about the photoshopping is that there is a clear moment where the two highlights of reflection on her "haunches" don't line up. I wonder if the magazine actually used her for attention but did so in a way that they can then claim was a slam against her. Her shoulder blades are all kinds of not occurring in nature wonky as well. I wonder how much sag shit they had to shave off or if it will turn out they just cobbled together a couple of acceptable torsos to her ass. Because even if she took the time to pull her head out of her ass and stand up straight, there is no way her head and ass are that far apart without the help of an serial killer and his axe.

Lange still seems to think he is just being funny. What a creepy fool. I'm hoping they dig a bit deeper into the archives during the holiday week instead of just re-airing shows from the week or two prior.

I do agree that Aaron's pure ass brought out the worst in Katie. But Katie also did herself no favors since her push back seemed to be the same type a kid does who hides behind the adult's shoulders and makes faces at the other kid while the adult's attention is elsewhere. There was something rather petty to it. Descending to Aaron's level. Which I think my annoyance with her would have been much less or completely absent had she done so from the safety of a great dish. The cake to me seemed like it was tasty in the way that any simple pan cake dolloped with cremes and sauces can be. I heard nothing that suggested that even in its simplicity it was one of the best pan cakes they ever tasted. It was safe in that I think by this point, anyone coming in can memorize a simple cake recipe. I do agree that again and again, season after season, contestants sneer at pastry and it bites them in the ass. But their failure doesn't make a simple cake difficult or a brave move. It simply means Katie watches past seasons and pays attention. I think that was a huge part of both Tom's and Hugh's points in slapping down Aaron. So as much as I would do think Aaron getting "schooled" (get it) I found Katie standing on what could have been the losing dish against more than half the others rather weak and petty in her own right. It does not make Aaron less wrong or less piggish or less...Aaron. But it places Katie in a position that I strongly suspect will lift my surly snide lips into a smile when she gets the heave herself. Quite frankly in all their cooking, Aaron, as much as I hate to say it, as a chef seemed head and shoulders over Katie despite him not having the focus maturity or sense of self to carry it off. At the end of the day, I just find Katie very Betty Crocker. And as an instructor, unfair it may be, I would hope a posturing immature know-it-all would either be water off her back or simply pure amusement. Even with the matter of a competition adding stress. Usually I just want to see the cooking and how the dishes turned out. But just one more crafted argument (I saw you Tom Col-dickio and your trying to stir things up with the questioning of who was working for himself and who was being a "team player"; I wish as producer he would step down as judge, he wears with his hypocrisy on how perfect the judging is) when it is Adam, Keriann, Katie and Katsuji forced to fight for their knives would make me smile as well.

No matter how many of challenges they do in a similar vein. No matter who I loathe gets the knife due to the structure. I will never find a challenge that lets the potentially worse dish creator stay even close to fine or acceptable. Horrible challenge and dull to boot. Did like we had a completely Blais free episode and enjoyed the guest chef judge. If Gregory doesn't "Paul Qui" this, it will be a bit of surprise for me. Though I'm hoping a couple of the others get into the groove and offer some real competition. I will hate to sit through another season like Texas when the edit tried so hard and failed to convince me Sarah deserved to go the finals let alone it was any kind of real match up with Paul.

Somewhere someone is telling the donkey "any day now".

I liked what I thought the original idea of Max seemed to be. Street savvy and sharp tongued and no patience for those she considered fools. But too many times she seems the foolish one. Plus the show decided pretty much out the gate that every episode would end with a warm and fuzzy Carolyn to Max "aw you do have a heart" moment that frankly makes me ill. It does not help that the show has not one supporting character that really, well supports. I hate Oleg and Sophie, Feel sorry for the guy from SNL whose name escapes me (which makes me feel even sorrier) for how tacked on his character seems. Han had promise but they made him too easy of a target and without enough bite back. Maybe that has changed since I never usually get past the first ridiculous Urkel-esque entry of Sophie and what have to be the most unfunny lines ever delivered. They must think Jennifer with an accent can read the warning label with possible side effects for Levitra and it will bring the house down. I just want to punch her. And I loved Jennifer before this.

I guess I just don't see Jon as naive or stupid. So to have him underscore the lack of a true international medical response team as being short sighted and silly (which it is) and then try to make ISIS sound like some sort of straw horse that is merely being used by warmongers and finish with trying to push the "but why us" faux isolationist meme just sounded like he wanted to score points in certain areas no matter what.

For the story itself in the Toyota ad, I thought she finds the guitar, "reunites it" with him, gets him to sign it and then skips back off into the sunset with her as her "hit the jackpot" moment. Or does he give her some other guitar he signs in return. In any case there is a lot that simply fails to motivate me to consider what the car is all about. And in a way that makes me look at Toyota as a brand with little admiration let alone buying aspiration. The new 2015 Corolla ad doesn't help. I want to see the followup to the faux-Holi ad and let us see the runners a kilometer down the course blowing dust choked mucus out their noses in attempts to breathe.

This show has grown on me so I am sorry to see it getting the toss. I've come to love some of the incredibly smart slow subtle buildups. Some of the silliness can be a bit much but overall this is so much watchable than some of the multi-season sitcoms that will no doubt return next fall inexplicably. I just hope that both leads get noticed for their work here (not that their other previous work was not noticeable) and picked up for something that is at least as worthy of their talents. And isn't on Netflix or Amazon or Showtime or something I have to pay extra to get.

I'll add to the dislike/disgust of the Euros showing up. I was a bit taken aback when they appeared. I'm surprised BRAVO has used more restraint in doing such things. I know they had that couple on and some of the Shahs of sunset cretins as well but both were after their shows cycles were done. Maybe I am dooming us, but I am surprised the LA based shows haven't had more reality bottom dwellers Andy Cohen has so "wonderfully" helped introduce. I type this knowing I possibly am invoking a curse of more Shahs, the walking venereal scars that populate Vanderpumps rules and of course the tawdry snotty mess that is Lisa Vanderpump herself that can't resist a camera even if it is off. If they do subject us to such, at least have them spend more time watching and discussing the shows. I felt like there was way too much time spent trying to seduce viewers into thinking these people were irresistible television fare.

Maybe I am just in a mood but I thought Jon's "why does it have to be us" questioning just came off belligerent and even whiny. It is not so much I disagree with what I presume is his thought process, but I also think ISIS, no matter how what and why we might have done a better job of preventing, marginalizing etc. is not something we can simply think will go away if we merely talk at it. Then again I am finding Jon's interviewing style even more grating even when he is having fun. Much as I love watching TDS in large because of his role and certainly his influence in shaping the show since he took over, he sucks as an interviewer. Post-Rosewater, he seems to have gotten even, not worse, but more Ann Curry-ish in his determination to pile multiple questions or cut the person off to get in that next question instead of letting the interviewee simply follow through. Okay I guess that is worse. This interview had some significant quality to it simply because, despite her politician type answering, it was her eloquence and focus that kept it on track. I'm hoping she is someone we see of more in the public sector after 2016.

I just saw the scene with the kid and his mother in the diner. While i did think the kid fell a bit too deeply into the finger snapping trope of snide gay male, the writing of the lines was some of the best I have seen this show produce. That is not saying much since I find the show is one of the worst carried over sitcoms currently on air (that at least I am aware of -- I wanted to like this show when it came on but it is just so awful, and has only gotten worse from what I can tell). Whichever of the writers conceived and executed the kid is or are the only one(s) show should still have a job on this set. I refuse to snap fingers unless it is playing a game with my 18 month nephews who think I am god for being able to do it. But snide I do in my sleep. In fact ditch most of the supporting cast and just have the kid. In one scene he actually captured what I was hoping the character of Max was supposed to be. Instead Max is a walking talking bathroom wall without the numbers. Crude is fine. Crude as lazy cheap and lacking of any real imaginative wit is just sad and tired.

Not to mention completely ignoring over and over again, the terms for leaving Iraq were set by Bush as well (which means Cheney). Obama simply implemented the legal agreement Bush hammered out with the Iraqi govt. Which is another thing. Why isn't there rage by Beeker and Honeydew's hellish love child about the Iraqi govt Bush and Cheney essentially fostered? How many times did pallets of cash that just didn't disappear go into the maul of the new regime We helped put in place. How come the nastiest muppet can't recall when Bush refused to utter the words Civil War? Or that the surge in Iraq under Petraeus was viewed by many as a poor quick fix for the people of Iraq by the international community? Or many here in the US. I really wish someone would take on this asshole's grandiose claims. i really wish someone would ask him how he supposedly has all these friends in embassies and foreign governments (I'm not going to touch on how he claims to have the majority of high level placements in every single element of government on the domestic front). How and when did he meet them? He has always claimed he was a man of his 'people', has made a point of distancing not just from the Obama administration but also the Bush Cheney when not that long after Bush was "re-elected" his approval took a tanking dive. How can he sit there and pretend he is linked in to high level appointees that either relied on quid-pro-quo or from the ranks of academia that clearly hold him in barely veiled scorn and only have patience with him if the show is willing to tout their latest publication. Speaking of which, I suspect Todd burnt plenty of bridges with Obama after his disastrous run as White House Correspondent. He rose to success on MSNBC by basically cribbing from (then) guest commentators Rachel Maddow and Nate Silver (plus others I suspect). He essentially thought Ed Henry (then with CNN) was someone to emulate in how he approached the new administration under Obama. Henry got heaved to Fox but Todd got his own show and then moved "up" to MTP. I suspect Todd is cunning at least enough to realize that taking over a sinking ship in a dwindling market niche probably means that book had to be now no matter how long term foolish it is. I would not be surprised if Todd is someone we "where are they now" five years out. Then again it is NBC. He could be the place holder for the news anchor seat between Williams and when little lord Luke finally remembers to zip his fly after every whizz.

Maybe DeDe wasn't that invested in the set up of the show but she sure knew how to stir shit in her little one-on-one interviews on events she supposedly did not witness. Ole De De has been around the reality show block enough times even if on the likes of the Project Runway franchises to have and idea who some things work and what causes reality show "drama". Something both the show and the princess seem intent on delivering despite the line readings from Sky Mall over priced framed inspirational posters. Er, I mean DeDe's on the shelves now book (how convenient)

I'm just hoping I can fit "Nida One nor the Other" into a post by the end of next week.

I wonder if the show would have worked better if Massimo was more of the center and the rest were the ensemble who back him. Almost all these group shows start out with an idiot chain of relationships which makes the contrived "we have to get along and we have to attend the same events over and over again even though we hate each other and live in a city of millions" stretch thin and annoying. Despite loath watching it, I do wonder if having the twin gravitational pulls be Lisa as boss and Stassi as self proclaimed social queen bee was a key element to the success of Vanderpump Rules. Even Shahs of Sunset, Reza wisely crawled up the ass of the rest of the show's cast and their business faster than you can say "what is that in Mike's bowels?" No matter how heinous, the savvy castmates of any of these shows are the ones that immediately try to insert themselves in every other castmates business. But it throws the dynamic off when done too soon out the gate. Caprice on the failed Ladies of London. The oddness that permeated the Melbourne Real Housewives. The stilted drama on Southern Charm was likely saved by the fact that many seem to find a bunch of men hanging their asses out was fresh compared to yet another round of women. Plus the setting and approach made for a slightly different version. While Massimo is amusing, overall this show is nothing more than all the others BRAVO throws at us. Just with accents.

Oh she definitely lied. She flat out tried to get the doctor to support her and he refused. She tried to pretend her doctor didn't give her a due date. And didn't she make sure she gave birth where her mother lived instead of in Atlanta? How deliciously ironic that Phaedra was so hell bent on presenting herself as some kind of mythical Jack & Jill Susan Sugarbaker Attorney at Law she bought into the whole married "legitimate" silliness. instead of taking that pretty baby seed and staying a professional single mother, she married her felon, had a second kid and now is mired and tied to the man much more tangled than she ever considered. As sperm donor she probably could have legally bound him in the exact knot she wanted. Yeah I wonder if she has enough self awareness to realize the silly archaic "shame" of a baby on the 'wrong side of the blanket' is nothing compared to being married to a crook who still might drag her down with him. Assuming she was completely innocent. From what I gather they are still trying to determine whether there was any joint financial gain through his crimes even if it was done without her knowledge. When does that get settled once and for all? I'm sure the IRS is making sure to go through any and all returns that the Nida name appeared on.

I'm glad the hour length is not proving too onerous. Still I find them spending more time on some shows than I care. I feel like i am being forced to watch an episode of a show I preferred not to watch in its initial airing. A half hour made them be pithier and tighter in the edits. I feel like the producers/editors are trying to make me like their own fanboi/grrl shows no matter what sometimes. I still wish the three daughters and their dad had gotten the heave. The daughters are always way too loud, over react way too much, still do that "what is happening/going on' annoying need to just talk instead waiting two seconds and watching the on that is going. Also they seem way too over aware of the cameras. I think it would be a hoot if for just one show (watched, not an entire episode of this show), one watcher from one group just randomly switched with another. The haughty blonde older woman sitting with two of the gay buddies. Mrs Zeno in bed with the bed family men. Brandy with one of the sister duo sisters.

Try wooden boxes. That is what I used in college. I found some cheap unfinished wooden boxes and stacked them up to form shelves. I think it was IKEA that I found them. Keep in mind that a sturdy plain flat fronted drawer is also a box. Another college fix it was going to the local Home Depot (or Lowes or any large good local hardware/lumber store) and get nice boards that they will cut for you to length. Then go buy yourself some bricks (Home Depot has some nice landscaping "brick" assortments. Build the shelves yourself. If you go this route, use more bricks then you might immediately assume you will need. I found with a little time and effort in sanding the boards and matching the bricks I had a shelf system people actually thought was really nice looking. I paid very little in the end compared to even the cheap particle board units. If you live in a more seasonal area you might find it hard to find the bricks now holiday season is stampeding our way. As other(s) mention, I do find that books I borrow on my Kindle I have a much lower threshold for tolerating. And though I prefer 'real' books in hard/paper, I do find myself buying books I covet in ebook and then buy it in hardcover. For series I collect brand new, in books that I just want to have a copy of (I think I was Smaug in another life when it comes to books), I hunt down good copies or even wait to snag it in remainder. I do love the fact that in a highly anticipated book, at 12:00:01 I have had Amazon deftly slip it into my eagerly waiting Kindle like some good old fashioned straight porno. I do wish electronic rights would be resolved as it is part of the reason prices continue to be artificially high by publishers and authors are still getting stiffed. It is completely the reason why it bugs me to no end as to having to have a British Kindle so I can download titles I can't get here in the US.

So either something in that rockstar humping is making them both have to poop at the same time and he is just a little faster or ends up closer to the bathroom or he is spending an inordinate amount of time by himself with the door locked. I would not blame him on the latter since we all know what kind of faces Stassi makes when she is pleased with how witty she is in her talking heads. Imagine what kind of faces she makes when she is just plain "pleased"? Because otherwise? Maybe they need to figure out how far they can finger diddle each other up the bung hole before they reach critical mass.
