Her older shows were the best. I just made her Sloppy Buffalo Joes last night and realized I printed that recipe in 2009. It is a staple in our house. We put it over rice and it is delicious!

I think Jackie gets the award for being the most prepared to come onto one of these shows. Teresa can’t explain it correctly, so uses “stalking”, but from my perspective, Jackie did study the “show”, sort of like preparing for a competition. Comparing to Jennifer, she came on, like I think most do, thinking her life is so fabulous, everyone is going to love watching me. I think Jackie’s jabs are a bit condescending and she knows that riles up some ladies. She is a lawyer and they’re very good at twisting words.

I was considering buying Fabletic leggings, but now...I’m out!

Side note....watching The Challenge On Demand and saw a commercial for Clayton Homes. I’m not sure the drama with Janelle would make them think this was a good place to advertise, so maybe free ad spots to compensate for the attempt to trash by David?

I’ve always felt the “store” was really more an office and storage place first. As some have noted it’s not in the best shopping area and they did start the series with them moving out of her home. I don’t know if Jay is a business genius, but I’m sure they have advisors giving them tips. For instance Kelly is a stylist, so she may be giving advice on jewelry trends. Maybe some of Kelly’s payment was a spot on the show. I actually am impressed with some of the things Kristin has done. Compare her to other LB/Hills cast and she’s accomplished some decent things. Now of course LC did very well, but she had an air of success about her, so it was expected. Kristin just always seemed to be destined as the party girl. So I’m impressed by her success. Not so much the vaccine issue though!

On my drive into work today (I live in Houston - millions of people - horrible traffic) and behind me was a F250 riding my butt the whole way down I-10. Before we hit the big bottleneck of traffic that stops all of us, we were moving at least 10 miles over the speed limit, and I had other cars in front of me, so I wasn't holding him up. But I thought of Jenelle and how she'd be pointing her gun at everyone down here because this is the daily routine! As others have commented, she did this knowing the cameras were rolling, and she didn't seem agitated before all this went down, so I wonder if she points that gun at people all the time when someone gets in her way. I do think David is with her and driving most of the time, so that has probably squashed a bit of her anger issues. If I ever run into this crew, I'm buying Kaiser and Ensley fries because I think they're throwing them at Janelle and David!

Regarding Kail (or Leah, or any of them) having things like hair/makeup, travel, etc be considered “tax deductible”, don’t feel they’re getting some kind of deal. Sure, it can reduce their overall tax liability, but they’re still spending the money they earned. They’d have to spend all the money they earned to not have to pay any tax. It’s not like they’re getting some giant refund for everything they “deduct”. Blowing it on vacations, makeup, parties, cars, etc isn’t helping these girls build their futures. It’s just doing what some of them want....making them look like “big deals” right now. Just wait....

Is David that great of an actor to do a re-enactment? He seemed like he just woke up and I honestly don’t believe he’s sitting there agreeing to reenact what the crew wants. Especially when it isn’t about his perfect life. Or they’re all fantastic at their “jobs” and pulling one over on all of us!

The setup for this move to LA is so obvious. She went to rehab in Malibu before gel, so when she met Andrew last year, I think her wheels started spinning. She loved it there and I remember her wishing she could live there. So, be careless, get pregnant. Have the guy appear on your show to get him some cash to fund his “project”. Maybe buy some equipment? (Shouldn’t he have some already if he comes from money and has been in the business) Then claim “well it’s where his work is” so we have to move there. Now she doesn’t look so bad just up and leaving Leah behind in IN. Plus that lease is probably up on the house, so easy getaway.

I always sensed that Kail didn’t have a miscarriage. Javi seemed too angry during that part of the show. She may have fessed up to cheating and reconciled for “the show”, but Javi still wanted to be a family, and she’d already really checked out.

I don’t think they’re that good at acting, but I keep thinking this is a ratings setup. David is being too calm. Why hasn’t he spewed as much anger on Instagram? I know he replied back to many people with threats, but what changed by using Twitter? Anyone else feel extra sad for Kaiser after Jenelle posted that picture of herself? Another reason he’s left out, he doesn’t even look like Jenelle, Jace or Ensley.

Thought this morning...it seems most people who've overcome some serious health scare are so thankful and grateful for their recovery. They like to educate and just overall seem more calm. Why is David wanting to "fuck people up" and so angry? It's also rich of him calling out fame whores. If you want your life so private, then stop posting on public social media and only share your life with those close to you.

I posted a while back that I wish David would get knocked out by CT, but David would never do a Challenge, he only fights women. Camilla would be a perfect opponent to Janelle. I can't stand her, but they seem about the same size, which Jenelle would think she could take her, but Camilla always seems to pull out the win! It'd be the only time I would ever root for a Camilla win. Hell it could be Camilla's redemption for being so horrible this past show.

If anyone's professional work was damaged with regard to LeeAnne, I would say it was her Dr. I know some of what happened to her was her own fault, but I don't think that Dr represented himself very well on the show. Mark's business looks pretty good on the show, from my seat on the couch anyway!

Thought Cary looked stressed when Mark was there, too. I also don't care about Mark's sexual preferences. I don't think that really harms his practice. He's not working in some industry or business where "family" image is important I think there is smoke to the nanny story, and I agree it seemed weird she spent her spare time babysitting her boss' children. Or like many nanny stories have gone, somehow they got close, she liked the way his life looked, he became infatuated and boom. Because I do think she wanted the lifestyle. And....maybe Mark wants to get in on Botched level with Terry and Paul? Mark plays a bigger role on this show than most of the other spouses.

I'd say similar to how we've seen Corey, Gary and Jo become more sensible with age, Chelsea has done the same. What I see as the common denominator in their lives is involved parents. Corey's dad, Gary's mom and Jo's parents. Same for Chelsea. All of their parents seemed to have rational discussions with their children about situations that were shown on air. So if they're doing that on air, then there is much more happening in their regular lives. And I think these parents weren't trying to make a buck off their own children. Randy guided Chelsea (as a parent should) and was sensible enough to help her find a career that could work for her, if needed. He also saw the TM money coming, and probably having financial planners himself, helped her make good choices. Most people her age start settling down and living their lives. She was always going to have a financial head start because of Randy. In the long run, it is probably saving HIM money! I want to add Maci to the list, but I think her parents tried to keep her in check, but she brushed off their advice. And Jen & Larry always had great advice for Maci, but were horrible catering to Ryan.

From what I just watched, I REALLY wish, for ratings and fun, that MTV would stand up to David. He didn't say anything to Drew (because he's afraid). He knows he can threaten Larry. He can push around the production crew and field producers. And we know Jenelle and Maryssa do what he says because they don't want to get beat up. Put a couple big bouncers in there and lets watch it go down. But....it won't because David is only good at threatening people he knows he can abuse. Bring the Miz or CT out, now that would be awesome!

Joe also pulled the "no dating" on Gia back a few years. I have a few friends (male & female) who have given the "my daughter will not date" speech and I swear it's always been the ones who were a little more "adventurous" back in their teens. I laugh every time I hear it because you can plan all you want, but your kids will find a way. So why not be open and talk about healthy relationships. Get involved at school so you know the kids.

I'm old, so I only watch TM, Real World and the Challenges, but this whole firing Farrah thing is so lame. I've seen plenty of sex on those shows, so are those shows all getting edicts to stop the cast from hooking up? Is MTV suddenly ashamed of sex? I wouldn't be surprised if Farrah sued for discrimination.

I saw the reconciliation coming when Vicki was talking about going out partying with the hotel GM. I could see it in Tamra's eyes that she was bummed she wasn't friendly with Vicki enough to latch on to that party trip. Those two like to party. And I'm not saying that Shannon doesn't, but Shannon can get derailed with one wrong move. With Vicki, I think once she's in party mode, it's all about a good time. She's a happy drunk.

I appreciate the way the guys accepted the punishments from each other. If Camilla had won either of those, she would not have given it a second thought to throw it at Tori. Camilla is such a poor sport. And Derrick did the right thing by letting her take control. I sort of wish the whole final was an individual competition.

So she cries about the hotel and gets her way. They should have said no and then preceded to film her and David throwing the big fits that we all know they would. That would bring the entertainment value MTV is looking for! Follow them around trying to find their own way back home. Show that on the reunion. That could be her final contribution to the season and then she can get her big check. But it just occurred to me, yes, she wanted that house so they could privately do drugs. She's getting the cash infusion they're probably desperate for.

I truly enjoyed watching Camilla melt down several times this show. I'm glad Tori didn't touch her because I personally believe that is Camilla's go to move. Get people riled up so they start swinging and then she can step back and let it happen. That's what she was trying to do with Leroy, except he wasn't biting, so she went lower with her comments and he still didn't react. She's such a poor loser, standing there dragging Tori into her tirade after she was picked. Did she think someone in charge was going to go "oh right Camilla, this is so unfair to you, nevermind, we'll put someone else in"! Personally I think each time she's won a Challenge, it's been because of her teammate. Don't get me wrong, she's strong, but if things aren't going her way right out of the gate, she crumbles real quick.

Maybe Kaiser took the picture, because David has that "put your nose in the corner" face on.

I never noticed it before, but what is up with David's short tie? Is that in now? They had to go to NYC twice for that dress? Waste of money. Although I hope the bridal shop charged her extra because it was "out of the box"!
