More than the flip of genders, how about the flip of circumstances? Say Sherri and Sal had stayed together and brought this child into their home. Imagine if someone dared tell Sherri it wasn't really hers? Now maybe Sherri's attitude would be the same. Reprehensible. But can you imagine the outcry if everything stayed the same as it was expected to be when this was initiated and someone tried to define her child in the same way she is now defining it? When you consider the much smaller world of entertainment how high the rate is for adoption, surrogacy of all kinds, heck even the number of step children who end up melding and becoming just as much individuals' children as their biological one, this just seems insane from a cynically pragmatic view. I cannot believe her lawyer not explaining to her the possible long term ramifications just professionally. I know that is cold but career wise that has to be more potentially expensive than letting Sal continue to suckle on her monetary teat.

I have to admit as disgusting as Caprice is in pretty much every way, watching her try to control the narrative at Caroline's was hysterically funny to watch. Especially when she coos to Marissa who then smiles sweetly and smacks that fecund sack of shit right to the floor. But damn was Caprice desperate or what to get everyone on her side. It was so pathetic that her talking head slams of Caroline were nothing but a voiceover of her own fucking sad efforts. She should have tried to get on a RH show because her deliberate falsification of things viewers just saw is so that venue this current seasons. i do love that we have video evidence of Caprice being her own worst enemy. Over and over again we see her over worked and tweaked face and then right there. Her mother. My gawd I love vain stupid ugly souled people ruining their looks. Caprice looks five years younger than her own obvious natural mother. I LOVE IT. I hope her mother is as pleasant as thirty second suggests for those kids sake. Because the way Caprice talked about her boyfriend and I get a strong sense he is nothing but the sperm donor who likes the low tier celebrity ride Caprice offers. In so many ways. And what a difference a couple of absences make. Without Caprice and Annabelle the rest really jelled and came off as fun. Sure there was no stupid BRAVO type drama but for me the last scene at the polo match was much more what I wanted the season to be. I'd love for the show to come back without Caprice and Annabelle. Even Julie seemed like she was silly fun without having to cater to the snotty fake pretensions of the other two. If a miracle happened and the show got renewed I'd so love for the two hoity toity wannabes get the heave and they bring on two others more willing to be silly and have fun. I really like Marissa famewhore that she has to be. I know I would get annoyed by some of her pollyanna approaches to things. I know her burbled Britannia-love would grate my last nerve. But I also know I love when some friends simply refuse to go there. Simply refuse to tread drama because someone else can't let it go. I also love that she does refuse to be used. Again the look on Caprice's face when she realized her cloying simpering pretend fragile self wasn't working and Marissa was not going to let Caprice rewrite the matter for the cameras. I'm an easy get for BRAVO in terms of reacting with outrage, outrage i tell you, at the various over the top shenanigans of their various drama moments, but I also enjoy the light romping calm that this show was. Even when Juliet has to keep that "angry confused rat" look on her face and Noelle tries to hide the enormous shovel behind her back. While part of me wanted the other women to go after Noelle for her fake "I had no idea" bit in helping Caprice stir shit. I was also glad in a way that Caroline and Juliet smirked their wry insincere but Let it Go excuses for her.

A friend of my parents built a magnificent de-constructed vacation home on a small island off the coast of Maine. She built it one room at a time. As separate units. it started out as seasonal only and has always used the landscaped outdoor areas as the main living space. Now she lives there all year round and has seven little "houses". One is the kitchen, one the bathroom one the bedroom etc. But all are multi functional. Because of the severe weather she has three with a toilet in them. the kitchen and the bathroom and the bedroom "rooms" all have comfortable sitting areas. I have only stayed once and it is something I often aspire to as somewhere to go moulder, er retire in my golden age. The point is, this site along the river reminded me a bit of how she started and yet she had a clear plan to expand and make if a functional site for growth. I find the idea of simply downsizing to such a point lacking in imagination no matter how charmingly off the wall it seems at first. i do like the simplicity. And I love the multi functionality of clever design. But I thought for four people including two teens who really, really are going to have privacy issues if not today, well tomorrow. Literally; the determined approach to such limited personal space was just plain silly. And lacked common sense. While they do show them later on, I don't get a real sense how they have adapted or evolved in the space so much as simply avowing how it works for them. That deck area would have as much if not more investment into being made into a functional living space. Complete with screened in bedrooms for nice weather.

Damn Tamra is a piece of work. Talk about trying to re-write history. And then she and Heather sit in front of the cameras and try to deconstruct their own lies. On camera! As if they can step by step lead the audience along their path of mean girl machinations and expect that same audience to forget step one by the time they roll out step three. In less than a minute of babble. The main problem is Tamra feels justified simply because it gets caught on camera no matter how trashy a liar she is. Eddie is a fool for signing on with her but I do hope he noticed how low he ranks even in her for the camera fakery. I hope he doesn't wait until the show is over for the two of them to dump her. I hope he does so during filming and rides off with a younger blonde woman who has money and has real boobs that are magnificent. Who then gets hired on the show the same season Tamra gets her walking papers. Sure this fantasy woman, even just as a construct in my imagination in no way deserves the fate that is Eddie. But I want Tamra to suffer more than just the fact she. looks. hideous. I do chortle with glee that she has inflicted her own worst punishment. Heather also is getting off on this. She is starring in her own little drama that she clearly thinks she is scripting. I really hope Shannon sits down with someone who can coach her for the reunion. Shannon is nuts. But I'm not sure off the rails nuts is that bad compared to someone like Heather or Tamra who are nuts in a meaner and nastier way. What really strikes me is the smug satisfaction Heather exhibits. Shannon might freak me out. But I wouldn't find pleasure in that. Discomfort? Definitely. Even dislike. Terry practically had to caddy her dram boner. Vicki really made it all about her. Brianna is fucked up. Partly due to her own compliance. But Vicki will never change if she thinks it is a "when you grow up you'll see I'm right" attitude. Funny that we have seen marriage implode fracture crumble and go sideways in every way possible. And the nuttiest marriage of them all, might have actually gotten a bit of healthy perspective. Crazy as both are, I think David was truly taken aback by the insane contortions Heather and Tamra were going through to make the story happen the way they wanted even before the story got done playing out. And Tamra actually using the words "tried to restrain her, tried to hold her down" and didn't realize she was the problem, not Shannon. Tamra was shriller in her demands that Shannon stay put and not leave or actually have a conservation with someone who might see through her lies. Lizzie's husband. Maybe the problem is he strikes me as the stereotypical stoner with the slightly schlubby attire and grooming and body type mixed with the fact he seems to hardly pay attention to anything (not a bad approach to BRAVO RH cameras). But I loved how he came awake and immediately realized what Heather and Tamra were up to and quickly refused to have Heather use the toast to act as if she was being incredibly gracious and forgiving despite not being a victim but the villain of the piece. The look on Terry's face when he shut Heather's toast up was best shot of the night.

In a perfect world a judge would deny either one of these buffoons the child and some couple wanting to adopt could have their dreams come true. And both buffoons would be financially responsible for sending the child to college. Even if that means Sal shoveling ditches and Sherri is greeting people at Wal-Mart until they are ninety. Sherri made the choice to bring a life into the world. I cannot fathom how she reconciles this with her religious beliefs. That is one rickety ass boat of faith she floats around in. But I also shudder at the idea of Sal having his say with this child in any way. Because whether it was his intent or not, I do think he sees this child as his golden ticket in regards to keeping his hand in her wallet for the rest of their lives. If Sherri was smart she would sue for financial custodianship of the child. That way if she is obligated by the courts to maintain the child as she should be, she can control exactly how the money is spent. If she feels like this I don't think it is in the child's best interest to be around Sherri in any way shape or form. But that leaves Sal. ugh. That poor kid. A victim right out of the gate of two idiots who rank rather high on Darwin's List of Saved by Modernity.

RE: "Piglets Die in Fire; Prove to be Delicious" story I know in the grand scheme of things trying to follow the logic trail of this, my first thought was well down the path of "huh?". But all I could think was "does this woman think before they discovered pigs were good eating....they just kept them as pets?!"

Plus they will be shocked to find my simple subjective take on an individual as being charm free, relatively stupid and not really visually pleasing to make up for the l other two flaws as a complete denunciation of everyone everywhere on television. Oh if only I had that power. It would be the William Levy In Speedos Infinity Package. Get it? Package....

I hate to say something that Jill Zarin would likely take as a compliment, but I truly think the main reason Cohen helped oust her was because she was not only pushy but he also was afraid of her. He saw how far she would go in her push for power on the show and I think the next logical step, even in his tiny little mind before the next shiny object drew it's attention, was she would completely cut him out of her "process". She did a good job of it was it was. But I think it was a combination of personal dislike, production dismay and professional terror he had that made getting rid of her make sense at the time no matter which way one might argue it affected the future of the show. I think Nene Leakes was only protected by the fact that show was delivering ratings in a time nothing else really was and by the fact that Cohen is no longer sitting between the network and the cast. Now he is off slightly to the side as merely a vested producer among vested producers. I wonder with Cohen having no say at BRAVO, simply now in a salesperson capacity of offering various goods for BRAVO to either take or pass on, how he feels about Zarin? She can't affect him as much professionally and he might see the show renewed if she came back and brought higher ratings. And yet as a producer not tied down by his network position, he might. ironically, have more power over her trying to make the show her own Sunset Boulevard. Though her coming back might make him have to have her on his show. And that last time he looked like he was constantly torn from running off stage or just pissing himself. Even when he handled her well for Jill Zarin being handled.

Maybe Nicole's favorite place to eat is Quaker State and Lube.

Or she is simply a self-absorbed asshole whose presence on the show and subsequent paycheck have provided ample positive re-enforcement for a growing entitlement. It happens all the time. She got slapped down briefly in the media for her earth is flat bit and the show simply drew its wagons around her. She came out of it okay and I think mistook the show's stubborn refusal to admit any wrong or error for faith in her and her abilities. She saw Hasselbeck get away with an insane amount of outright lies in delivering her talking points. She is clever enough to see all the incredible factual mistakes everyone on the show uttered either in sheer ignorance or hand fed stupidity via the blue cards. And never had to really face the music on any of them, And they got paid. And still she got paid. And she got attention, and subsequent pay elsewhere in guest spots. Then Disney told Walters to retire and cash out or get cancelled. And Sherri found herself facing powers that be who were less eager to keep the curtains closed on the mess that it is the show . She spent years being told she wasn't wrong. She never realized and still doesn't that not being told you are wrong never makes you actually right.

Or at least put as much time into parenting as she does posing in the bathroom at an Atlantic City double king room.

Amber is so full of shit she uses Charmin to clean out her ears instead of a Q-tip. So I want confirmation that she actually worked for a firm and worked out their Twin Towers offices. Simply because after hearing she discovered, battled and fought Cancer all on her own and made it hers, I'm baffled we haven't heard how she struggled down the stairs with three wounded firefighters on her back even though she was home when it happened. Maybe she did indeed put in 40 hours a week from a view at World Trade Center 1 or 2. Or maybe she worked for a company that had her go into one of the Towers once a month. Or a year. Or even never but with a hypothetical potential. With Amber I'm thinking, what for her in terms of being the star of any great tragedy is reticence marks a stretching of truth even she recognizes but can't help to try and slide past viewers. I always loathed Teresa the most. And still do. But it cracks me up with derisive glee that Melissa, even seeing what lies brought her nemesis/sister-in-law, can't simply fess up that the house they were in between taxes and mortgage was likely taking just too big of a chunk out of whatever the Gorgas were living on. And instead of having the bank step in they sold it for what they could and walked away with some cash in their pockets I suspect. Now they are leasing something I suspect the BRAVO paycheck and location fees provide and a lot that looks like the wetlands leftover of a housing development the two can spin on the show as being "developed". Bless Dina. Something that stupid with that schnoz and a weave (or her own hair fried to death either way she looks like she did her hair in a pannini maker) can make two half-ass cable networks give her a show. Now that's America.

I would. If I was offered a hot muscular guy who wore a tight tee and jock strap. Compared to, I dunno, Guy The Lard Weasel Fieri, sweating and leering into my camera. Or Ree Drummond inanely giggling as she cooks off the label of a bunch of cans. Or even Giada taking all the joy out things that actually taste good as she doles out servings I'm guess even her daughter's dolls say "more please you bobbleheaded food issued cleavage cinched to your chin bitch". Overall I want instruction or even just fun appreciation of good food. If it comes wrapped in pretty. Well no complaints. But if I have to sit and watch the dreck that Food Network and apparently most of its demographic consider entertaining, I'd rather they just air the stupid Zesty ads in half hour loops and I keep it on mute. That said Luca does nothing for me. Mostly because I find the silly post modern hipster mullet that is the tucked behind the ears blue boy look way too twee and affected for any male over the age of thirteen to pull off.

I'm wondering if she will interview Nicole Ritchie on E news for Ritchie's new reality show effort? Talk about a gruesome twosome. Wasn't Ritchie on Fashion Police as a guest in the not too distant past? Maybe seeing the other prompted both to run home and have a purge off. I have to think having such body image issues triggers more strongly when you look at another stick and see competition in a thin off. Maybe if you locked them into a stocked kitchen for five days you'd go in and both would simply have disappeared like in Disney's the Little Mermaid and Sea Witch Ursula's garden of garnered souls.

50 was what I thought the number was in terms of what they figured they could match from in the winnowing process. So yeas. My opinion is that the 50, no matter the point it was reached, was still a tiny small number to stand on as an achievement.

Nothing against Rosie, but if they hire Cupps I hope they go the route of hiring Rancic and Frankel as well. If we get one pathetic idiot why go all panel all stupid all the time? Maybe instead of wishing futilely for a perfect panel we should figure the producers will get at least one horrifically wrong so why not cancel heinous out with obnoxious. Why not sit back with a late morning cup of coffee or tea and have a WWE version of attention whores fighting to get camera time and the soundbite of the day? Imagine Cupps trying to smirk around her Sexy Librarian glasses only to have Giuliana Rancic and Bethenny Frankel try to over talk each other as each tries to make her version of "fetch" happen?

I had shingles when I was nine and I think was considered quite young to have it. I now have little tiny marks on the left side of my body that look like I feel asleep in the sun with rain drops on my body that tanned off color from the rest of my skin. Or a mouse took itty bitty bites out of me that healed but scared. I do get flare ups occasionally. Usually when I go through a long stressful travel period. It is very painful. But I also tend to look at the attempted hysteria to sell vaccines with a side eye. Yes vaccines are important. But some of the corporate gives under the last administration in regards to the FDA make me a bit worried. I can already hear the commercial now "did you or a love one suffer stroke or die* after taking a shingles vaccine? Did your internal organs melt and explode out your anus in a flood of blood tissue and fecal matter? Did your skin slough off your body animate and take over having sexual congress with your partner? Call Slick, Shifty and Slimey Law Firm and find out what kind of settlement we can get for you now!" All that and I find Jenny's stance even softened rather dangerous. *There actually is a commercial that asks if either you or a loved one died from using a particular drug. I wonder if tort reform covers litigation from beyond the grave.

Actually compatibility, which is what this show is about, is the newest most modern component in marriage. Arranged marriages which the alludes to as being the basis of their experiment but are only based on the compatibility of the the powers that be in that social structure (usually some kind of patriarch). Like politics, the gleam of the gold or how pretty those goats you get in the deal are. The notion of matching individuals is pretty brand spanking new next to romance which has been around for ages even if it was hardly the norm with marriage as a result and arranged marriages which was does you daughter come with that yak? Casting did a decent job. Since the show exists from a pool of fifty I think the experts actually had little to nothing to do with it. The show must go on. Or are we to believe that without the serendipity of "matching" six people out of fifty the experts would have gone to the producers and handed back the remainder of their pay and say sorry it was a complete wash. No show for you.

It's not their base I'm worried about. It is ours which in the end is still larger. If mobilized. I think a drawn out impeachment might rile enough moderates if nothing else gets done. I think Eric Cantor's defeat woke up the likes of the Crying Cheeto and made them start listening to people who have a clue. And someone pointed out that despite low poll numbers for himself, Obama's accomplishments hold a significant approval rating.

I'm hoping the Republicans in the House cannot help themselves and actually try to impeach Obama. I find the prospects in 2016 rather grim and uninspiring. Idiocy along those lines is exactly what we need to make sure whatever nutcase the Right puts forth gets spanked.

Wow that one husband is hideous. I kept waiting for him to pull off the glasses and fake teeth and reveal it was all a joke. I'm betting she married him for the money. i don't get the blue in the hair either.

Well it proves Annabelle is a friend to Forsyth. Who might have made up to become friends with Lee Mcqueen. But the breakup had clear sides according his snide interview on EuroMaxx following the break up. Oh look, who picked "Lee's side" why Kate Moss. George has axes to grind. Though Annabelle picked the ultimate winning side in the macabre famewhore stakes didn't she? George trashes everyone with what he calls the truth and Annabelle stays friends with both and Ghost Whispers the fuck out of McQueen.

Oohhh new game! Crop the change in 'do and figure out what plastic fixes she had done the hair is to deflect your attention from. I'm guessing its the insane amount of filler in her cheeks causing people to greet them five minutes before they know who they belong to.

Hey Jimmy!!! Grandma waiting on hold on the phone with your insurance company. I'm pretty sure that is doing something. Meanwhile you stand there all grumpy faced like you just shit your pants and don't do a fucking thing. So the rapid undercurrent of hate for the old lady just boils my blood. God I hate that insurance commercial. Why they think that petulant shit makes for a strong plug for their product is beyond me. I thought Amazon had peaked in their loathsome ads with the over flared nostrils guy and his creepy fetish for the Kindle Fire Mayday help rep. Now we have two nine year old cretins in making with their overpriced phones talking about pinterest and Amazon prime. Make it go away. In the meantime I want SNL to do a spoof where the kid finds tumblr and all the things his nine years on this earth and he has never seen the like of that! Yeah that phone your kid doesn't need sure makes searches for "anal plug vine" sooo easy Amazon.

I find it rather odd and contradictory that in the first episode the experts were all rah rah rah about arranged marriages the world over and how successful they are. Yet now as the weddings take place, they insert themselves as completely and utterly necessary for the process to "work". Really? Because I'm guessing not a single one of those 94 percent arranged marriages that are deemed a success had any of these experts let alone anything approaching their system. What I would like to see is an approach that tries to copy the mechanisms of arranged marriages with our cultural sensibilities. An experiment that brings in a neutral party and couples with family and friends to find someone a spouse. Then watch the period in which the couples date and get to know each other. I feel like this went from a look at arranged marriages to simply letting the creepy Eharmony guy marry you to someone and go all Bachelor camera whoring on their asses. If it wasn't for Jason I could go all trainwreck glorious goodness on this.
