  1. Exactly. The Mom kept hollering and squawking about how she'd do anything to protect her daughter. Good job so far, Mom. I was less concerned about the twins eyebrows than I was by how absolutely filthy dirty they both constantly appeared to be. Nasty, greasy hair and in one scene, very obvious dirty fingernails. Blech!
  2. I know all the shows do it but the fake drama that happens every episode is so embarrassing I almost have to turn it off. The female designer is such a bad actress and her overdone screaming and stupid commentary is painful! It always looks like every house is completely staged ahead of time to make it look bad when they first enter it. Almost like they pick a "theme" too....this one's a party house....this one is a gangs den. Ugh.
  3. OMG...."prawn"....I love it! I once heard someone describe him as "Michael everything-but-the-face Phelps" and I think of that every time I see him! I guess I'm the only one not on the Lilly Love Train. Her initial comment was fine, make a statement, whatever, but then leave it alone. She even started tiptoeing back in that direction during her immediate post medal interview. I mean, I get it, no one wants to compete against a cheater. But there was something too cocky, arrogant and snotty in her delivery.
  4. Got caught up in the marathon that ran yesterday. Heidi was the most fascinating character and the most tragic. I thought she was absolutely adorable with her "original" face. But I had forgotten how much fun she was, how bubbly and a little naive. It was so confusing to see her have this "I am woman" moment with Jordan, describing herself as independent and needing her alone time....and then basically turning right around and falling into Spencer's grasp. Her personality then became as fake and plastic as her face and body.
  5. Did I hear correctly that the London woman said that their children were all grown? She was different looking but if she wanted to, she could have passed for 25 -30. How old must she have really been? And then it seemed odd that she never once mentioned that the kids would come to visit? Maybe I misheard, if someone could let me know. I didn't particularly care for any of the places she looked at but the one she chose was completely "whatever". And I certainly wasn't overwhelmed at the final look pulled together by her design team.
  6. That poor, poor, sweet, little daughter. Frankly, I was way more pissed at Jonel's Mom than I was at her for putting that innocent child through such agony. You know Jonel is a drug addict who doesn't keep her word. Why set the child up for such a let down? And then actively push her into a scene of wailing and hanging onto Jonel....because that's exactly what the Mom was doing! Was she using the daughter's emotion to punish Jonel? Nice way to be her protector. I wondered if the Aunt & Uncle kept Thunder completely away from her. Seemed like the best option.
  7. Based on the realtor's reactions a few times, I think the husband was probably even more annoying in person than he appeared on t.v. All he did was mope after the wife and realtor moaning like a broken record, "but it's not a mid-century modern". I wasn't convinced he even knew what one was. Loved when the realtor did the talking head that he would not have wanted original mid-century appliances and countertops in the kitchen. Absolutely true. Because again, I don't think he really even knew what that would look like. I know it's often just to create some drama for the show, but I can't stand it when one party in a family seems only focused on their own selfish wants. Like this dude, for some reason he had no explanation for, all he wanted was mid-century modern. But the wife, her lists of "wants" was focused on family living and what would be in the best interest of her children. That seems like the best approach and attitude to have. You aren't shopping for just yourself anymore.
  8. Glad I wasn't the only one who found that episode super confusing. It made no sense. If they were truly looking for both a bunk house for the kids and an upscale retreat for fundraisers, than the 2nd place was a perfect fit. The one they chose was awful and then to find out that the owner was just going to kind of "lend" it to them on an as-needed basis? What the????
  9. OMG....that drove me nuts. She talked about not being able to walk to the corner store without someone commenting on her looks. I honestly think those giant lips were the least of her worries. The platinum braids and shaved off eyebrows were equally (if not more) attention getting and could have been changed so easily! Plus a much needed revamp of her wardrobe.
  10. The St. Louis episode was fun to watch because it was a little different. The place they chose was such a dump but there was something still so loveable about it! The sun was shining so nicely through the windows when they toured. No complaints at all about the sweet wife but I was fascinated by her hair. What was the desired look? Artsy? Duggar-fundy style? Flapper? Super-hero? Ma from Little House on the Prairie? Polygamy-poof?
  11. Please don't play a drinking game tied to every time the therapist says "lean in". You'd be dead. She didn't actually write that book, did she??? I didn't see Aubrey on Celebrity Apprentice but remember her from the Danity Kane days when she was so naturally cute and spunky. Wow, didn't take long for her to change my opinion. Yuck. Sadly, she appears to be one of those people who is frankly probably not that smart but thinks she's intellectually superior to others. Her high opinion of herself is completely baffling. When she got irritated on the boat with Brandi's date because he didn't know who the hell she was (and rightly so), it was just plain embarrassing. Pauly's a surprise. I always thought he was a harmless dumb-dumb with his constant grin and inability to carry on a normal conversation. When he was talking with the therapist, he dropped the smile, was a good listener and had some insightful things to say. Love him and I'm sorry that he's lowered himself to being with Aubrey. I didn't watch Brandi on Real Housewives but I would read the forums about how God awful she was. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was one of the more level-headed ones on this show. Every time the therapist engages the participants in a conversation about "being a celebrity" I either roll my eyes or crack up. What did Andi accuse Josh of? Just curious if anyone can share.
  12. Agreed. The wife would be exhausting to be around. I was just waiting for when she declared the son to be "gifted" too. He was adopted into a home where it sounded like he was very wanted but he was pretty dismissive of his parents. In reality, I think he was probably pretty much a shit growing up. That thought was further confirmed when he voiced his pain at not telling his Dad he was sorry and that he loved him before he died. If his Dad was truly so domineering and unaccepting, why would he have felt that way? Loved when the Mom said, "for a gift, it wasn't very positive" or something to that effect! It was odd that I believe they said the wife and son had supposedly moved out ten or so days before filming....but she walks into HER house and asks, "where do you keep your olive oil" and starts randomly opening cupboards? Wouldn't she know? Same with the friend declaring the house a dump and the bathroom stinky. Hmmmm....wifey must not have been too good of a housekeeper because she had barely just moved out. As referenced in the recap too, why not think schizophrenia before psychic/sensitive? And Lupus-Poopus.
  13. So annoying! And such an obvious bid for air time. Like out of anyone, pipsqueak is going to be the "bouncer" The dinner ambush absolutely had that feeling to me too. Some knew that something was going to go down and others were not informed. Interestingly, I actually thought Cameron was one who appeared to be acting. Speaking of acting, the scene between Thomas and Kathryn in the bedroom was sooooo staged. They haven't given us the usual drama so let's interject some extremely badly acted script to break up the boredom. It was embarrassing to watch. For the Thomas and Kathryn scene and the dinner party fiasco, the cameras would film around the room with this wild, frantic movement as though to indicate how surprising and unexpected this whole turn of events was!
  14. I am soooooo not a Kathryn fan but I almost (ugh) felt sorry for her last night. Thomas got exactly what he wanted, he can "play Daddy" whenever he wants, he has his heir and he can up and leave whenever he wants too. I'm not entirely sure she sees it yet. Sadly, she's playing the part now that she should have after Kensie was born. Remember when she wouldn't even talk to him, or when she did it was full-on attack mode full of bitterness? Now she's all batting eyelashes, head on shoulder, serving up a hot, home cooked meal. Too little, too late, Red. As others have said, on so many fronts, thank God for that nanny. I loved Cameron's Mom for saying that the childless couples she knows are some of the happiest people. I thought it was an honest conversation. I have a Mother who would jump off a cliff before she ever harassed any of her four daughters about having babies. In fact, I think her greatest delight in life would have been if I had not only remained childless, but single too! Some women do in fact see having brains and careers as much as an accomplishment as spitting out babies. Whitney giving out advice about settling down? He is so ridiculous he tends to be my favorite part of any show. Patricia tries to be so quirky/cute with her little party accents, last night it was the chauvinist pigs, before it was the inflatable flamingos. Am I the only one who thinks her ideas tend to be kind of tacky? For portraying herself as such the golden hostesses?
  15. I am in complete agreement. Who could take one glance at that little man and even think for a second that he's straight? What a transparent joke! Loved all the drama on the set of Tara's new "movie". Great 1985 neon slip dress there Tara. If the Lorenzo the basketball player is such a constant cheat, why is homely little Brittish sticking around? Oh, of course! The money, duh! Cody is so simple and completely harmless. Sad to see such an amazing couple on the brink of breaking up over the tragic act of taking selfies. Gack.
  16. I know this was an old episode but I caught the re-run of it last night. She was so definitely mail order or he went on one of those "vacations" where you are promised to meet up to 50 eligible Russian brides. Gack. Whatever agency she came from probably has Luba up on a poster for the most successful match ever. The Realtor asked her what she wanted in a home and she babbled for five minutes about "clear water and blue sky....all the time" and the Realtor just looked at her and said, "I can't control the weather". Ha! There had to be a fifty-something ex-wife somewhere, watching this ready to slit her wrists!
  17. I didn't like Dawn the nanny's "mediating". It bugged me as much as her need to wear scrubs and her explaining to T-Rav that Kathryn is so "overwhelmed". The "poor me" routine because she has a baby on the way and another little one at home falls completely flat. Kathryn, this ain't cancer. You weren't struck randomly by some supremely bad luck. Girlfriend, this "overwhelmed" state is 100% your own doing. You made deliberate, thought out choices to end up single with two babies. No pity here. You made this bed, now go lie in it, with all it's dirty, stinky sheets and missing pillows. Boo-hoo. That's exactly what she needs to say! In my experience, if a man seems too fixated on another woman, there's a reason. And it's not a good one. Thank you! Did Craig punch him and they didn't show it? Sudden onset of herpes? I think they've crossed into reality territory where all of this is completely scripted and they are all 100% in on the joke. Whitney included. And I guess I'm in the minority because I would watch The Whitney Show all day. The guy is so over-the-top, completely ridiculous that I find it riveting and fascinating! When I was watching last night, I was struck with the same feeling you get when you are about to finish a book full of characters that you really liked and you know you are going to miss them once you reach the last page. I think we're rapidly closing in on the last chapter. I've enjoyed these fools but I think the show's run out of steam.
  18. I found it interesting when Shep explained he comes from a family of lawyers, notable and otherwise accomplished people. It seemed he said it with a touch of embarrassment, as it relates to his own accomplishments (or lack thereof?). I wonder if he ever does think about his plan for life or maybe he really is as easy-breezy as he appears? I am 100% in the camp that this man should have no expectation placed on him that a wife and family are the only way to "adulthood" and personal satisfaction. He does own his little restaurant/bar. I just wonder if he truly feels he should be doing more? Or that it never crosses his mind! I lived a pretty carefree "single girl in the big city" existence from my early twenties through my early thirties. I never wanted kids, although I did eventually pick up a pretty hot husband! But all along that path, I knew some day I would grow out of that lifestyle and want more, whether it was being a super involved Aunt, to owning my dream home, to finding my Mr. Right. I just wonder if Shep envisions anything different for himself down the road?
  19. This was a good episode. I liked the flashbacks knowing what we know now. Everyone always remembered the disgusted "Ann Taylor" comment but know we have it confirmed the clothes were Kathryn's. He! Thank you for my laugh of the day - love it! That's exactly how I feel about Shelp and Craig needing to be Kathryn's defenders and biggest advocates. In real life, these normal dudes wouldn't touch that drama with a 10 foot pole. Or probably even recognize that it was going on around them. I laughed at Cameron speculating that Landon loooooves her some Shep, complete with outlined heart gesture. That's obviously why she showed up pantless in her pajama top. Too cute for old Shepherd to resist! Except, I guess not?
  20. I also don't understand the turn of events that happened after Jane left FBI dude in the bunker. She told him that Doug was taking her to Canada and she left him supplies to see him through while she was gone. At what point did Adam enter the scene and she flee with him? I'd also like an explanation of what Ben and Doug were talking about on the park bench. And why he subsequently wouldn't identify him in the line up. Also, how the heck was Adam so aware of the fact that Ben was posing as him at home? His first instinct is to threaten Ben and not just be over the moon happy to finally be free and desperate to talk to his family? Nothing would keep him from just heading home and blowing the lid off the whole scenario, even if someone like Jane tipped him off to what was going on. I just can't believe his reaction would be that he would have to hang back in the shadows and get Ben to leave first. Geesh....just run home and see your poor Momma. I loved how so often things conveniently fell into place for Nina.....the remarkably rare dirt from Doug's boots leads her directly to within feet of the cabin where she just so happens to be standing outside when the gun goes off. But then just as easily, she's a complete fool who jumps to incorrect conclusions and has her suspect(s) constantly eluding her.
  21. They cannot leave us hanging! I'm going to need answers!
  22. How is the Indian woman's marriage any more arranged than her first one? Wouldn't this be considered a "love marriage" too? Her inability to talk about her first marriage without getting overwhelmed, sad and teary makes me think she's certainly not in the right emotional place to try again. To start right off giving your groom the side eye and feeling that he may not be trustworthy or that history is going to repeat itself is an awful way to begin a marriage. Does she even like this guy? I don't know, there's a lot of "I HAVE to do this" feeling behind her getting married. Yet she seems convinced it's already not going to work out.
  23. Thank you!! It was almost like the lightbulb of "running the bourbon" division just went off as soon as he entered the room and not a minute before. If he was that excited and passionate about it, do a little research or take advantage of the fact that a friend of yours is an expert in the field! His pouting was only outdone by his girlfriend's near tears over the matter. JD had every right to not involve Craig in this side of the business. And he explained it to Craig in a very mature, matter-of-fact way, I thought. Oh Elizabeth, far too classy and kind for this show. Kathryn never really did offer a reasonable explanation for cutting her off and throwing the tantrum over Elizabeth daring to go near Kensie at the polo match. Kathryn certainly needs a kind, mature, Mother role model like Elizabeth in her life. But I don't know if it's worth the risk for Elizabeth. Yikes. Danni seems like such a great girl, even despite the noted stink face. Two things about her time on screen: when she walked in, I think it was Whitney (?), grabbed her waist and made a shocked statement, "you're soooo skinny"! And she is and I hope she's healthy. Second, when JD proposed she run the bourbon division, she made such a face and said to him, "JD, you know why I had to get out!" I hope that didn't indicate a drinking problem?? Anyone else catch that?
  24. Happy you brought this up. The conversation Ben and Willa had was short and established nothing. But Willa's taken it, without question, and run with Ben being Adam's murderer. It's so stupid.....like much of this show. I can't continue to watch the Agent Clements plot line. Geesh, put the poor guy out of his misery. I knew one way or another, he'd end up with no thumb(s) but wouldn't be any closer to freedom. When Nina dropped her cap under the table, as she was bending down I said to my husband, "oh look, here's some dirt from Pocky's shoe that will be so rare and specific that it will lead me to the exact plot of land that his cabin fortress is located on!" This show alternates between making things so ridiculously easy and ridiculously hard. I don't get it. I was cheering when the skate boarding kid had on Pocky's jacket. Anything that makes her look like a fool pleases me! Even if you take away the pedophile part, it looks like Hank was still an odd duck. Wondering why he went off his injections? I guess I was the only one who hated the Willa/Danny scene where she came out. Once again, something so totally out of line with the character they've established her to be. That cold witch would never participate in such a conversation. I don't think she's even come out to herself yet.
  25. Agreed. If anyone follows her Instagram, her leg humpers are constantly declaring, "you're such an amazing Mother!" whenever she posts a pic of the kids. What do people base this "Amazing Mother" title on? Loose cannons with quick tempers generally don't exclude people in their life from their wrath....children included. Unstable is unstable. Peeking into a crib while wearing a gorgeous white dress in the morning sunshine does not a good Mother make. I'm not saying that the show really documents her mothering skills, good or bad. But one major illustration of her parenting was freaking out and throwing a fit at the polo match, right in front of her toddler daughter, then tossing her in the back of a car with a nanny to be driven off. Doesn't leave you with a very good feeling.
