Baltimore Betty

There was a story about the pleats in the a chef's touque, they earned the pleats by learning (in school), how to cook eggs many different ways, each pleat for each style, if that is the case then Natasha should be wearing baseball cap.

Warm bread is the best, really. A good fresh roll is better than dessert for me. On the BD shows we have seen big thick slices of French toast, waffles, pancakes, crepes, yogurt parfaits, Natasha has not offered anything but poorly executed eggs and muffins.

I have said this since day one, a lonely scrambled egg on a large plate looks sad and most of all not luxury yacht food, that is something she should have put in a bowl they could serve themselves, she does not understand the concept of "abundance" making the plates look full and sumptuous. We have yet to see beautiful garnishes or even a beautiful platter of fruit at breakfast time, she is limited in her presentation. Cut to the table full of sauces with random berries and shot glasses, the guests supposed to eat that how?

"Her name was Lola, she was a show girl," pinning away for any of her ex husbands and never realizing her bad behavior is why she is alone. Oh who knows what will become of Natalie, maybe she will find a nice Oak or Spruce to settle down with. Did anyone else think Shaun sounded like a medium when the producers were talking to her in her ear, shaking her head and saying random things out loud like, "what" "Ok" "I'll tell them," Like Whoopie Goldberg in Ghost!

I won't even mention the 30+ years of my Israeli cousin's bluntness, it can be startling and I have called her on it many times, even her husband has to take her down a notch or two and tell her where she went wrong.

OMG, that dessert thing was embarrassing to watch, minutes before the guests disembark she does that? Were there random blueberries scattered around the table with a half a dozen shot glasses with some chocolate in them? What was that? Capt. Lee would have had something clever to say about that ill timed, odd choice of Jackson Pollack dessert performance crap. As of last night I still could not tell you which blonde is which, they all have annoying voices and personalities, the fighting among them makes no sense, Natasha is horrible in the kitchen and out, I do not understand why anyone gets excited by the likes of Gary, JL or whom ever, Capt. Glenn is almost not even on the show, we see more footage of him sleeping then awake...the guests are boring, I am taking this off of my DVR series recording.

I agree. Didn't Tarik mention he had a poly relationship in the past and understood how to navigate that sort of relationship? I am guessing it failed because he is here today wanting to enter another one. Hazel is not in to men especially not into Tarik and I think this is his way of saving face, he can have the appearance of a wife, I wonder what Hazel would say if Tarik told her that he likes men and would like to add a man to their relationship. I would imagine that the girlfriend would grow tired of Tarik and Hazel quickly, those two need to get it right between themselves before bringing in someone else to the mix. Why is Hazel so jealous of Minty, that girl is 10,000 miles away and Tarik is broke, he will never see her in person again. Also, I do not believe for one minute the three of them did not get in bed together, Tarik and Hazel flew to see her, you know they talked about things via the internet for a while before they met...just sayin'. Maybe Tarik should go on Seeking Sister Wife, because those always end well, lol.

He is a Prophet for Profit, whatshername was taking one of his "programs." His face time call showed him with a Gucci bag strap over his shoulder so I am guessing his profit margin is up. Joan of Arc said she heard the voice of G-d...did not end well for her.

In his defense it is hard to text whilst operating a four wheeler or getting a massage.

But it is always like that, with all of them. The broke ones always go for the most expensive way to meet someone, bring that person to the states, lives with parents or in a hovel, has no money for a wedding or their future, I just don't get it. The countless trips to their homeland or other European destinations are always paid for by the American. I do laugh when the import starts to talk about a house, a family, a big wedding, (we all know none of that will be happening), the import is sad and strangely always surprised when they find out their family cannot attend the wedding. Why does nobody research anything or save money for the expenses of the K1 and all that is involved before they actually do it?

What??? How did I miss that?

I thought Natalie looked horrible, she needs to do something with her hair and learn a new make up routine but her dress was nice. We all spent part 2 of this Tell Barely Anything looking up Rebecca's skirt...her body looks no different from her before the procedure. I have to agree with Julia to a point, she stressed going to the gym is the way you will make changes in your physicality, her delivery was not great but it is good advice. Zied is getting lessons on how to take short cuts, don't work at getting healthy just pay a doctor to suck it out, does he know those fat cells will migrate to some other part of his body? Amira's story has holes in it, Andrew's story has holes in it, somewhere there is the truth but we will never know that truth, what we saw was two people who showed us who they are so I am not so bothered by not knowing all the details. I do not believe Amira has found the love of her life, I do believe she found the next guy that might get her to the US and I do believe that Andrew went home to sew a new cape for the next in person Comic Con.

Porsha could have taken the jewelry back to Tiffany's and exchanged them for anything in the store or re gifted it, that is the nice thing about a gift...you don't have to keep it. Why would anyone set a $1000 limit on a white elephant gift exchange? Did Margo put $1000 in a box? I have had $1000 cash in my hot little hands a few times in all different denominations, not once did it fill a box. What was going on with Kenya taking items (including some bottles of champagne which I thought was someone else's gift), to their car during the party? Did we see what was in all three packages of the gift box tower? That wig looked like a mop. Was it supposed to be an insult to Kandi when Porsha said the carolers sounded like her because I did not think the carolers sounded very good. Can someone please tell what was up with Kenya saying she had breast reduction surgery when clearly she did not, that is a bitch of a recovery time and a bitch of a surgery, I know two people that had it and they did not put on a bra and go about their business the next day like Kenya appeared to do. Also, Margo had lipo, same deal, the recovery is not quick and pain free, restrictive undergarments are worn for a while after the surgery, maybe Margo had Coolsculpt or something like that instead of the invasive lipo? If they had done the gift exchange correctly they would have had a lot of fun, I did it at work at Xmas time and it was always fun, of course we didn't set $1000 limit but we had fun. Those women should have just bought themselves what they wanted and played show and tell or in these pandemic times maybe donated the money to a worthy cause.

Just like that show Murder She Wrote...all of Jessica's friends wound up murdered, lol.

Give me a Tom Jones song, cover or otherwise any day!

They did "it" about twice? That was all night long? I feel icky just watching the little bit that I did.

By the look of the box...Kohl's.

I thought the same thing, the box alone does not look like an $800 anything would have been in it. I think Jake was exaggerating when he thru that number out. Also, it did look like a necklace, a bracelet would have been in a long flat, thin box.

Your short hand holiday names made me think of all the made up family Yiddish words that we use and after listening to Teresa butcher the English language you may use your shorthand holiday names!

My sister lived in Arlington for a bit,(now in Springfield for the last 20+ years), back then you could not even find a box of matzoh at the Giant...Rosh and Yom? What are we, on first name basis with the high holy days!?

Thank you...the snark on this board gave me some laughs and a good distraction over the past week.

It was the worst, 3 days a week!!!

I have no grandmothers named Esther. I loved Bill's Speed Racer jacket. Joe and Melissa go to dinner, they talk about how beautiful the weather is and they wind up in the cellar for dinner...not outside? The psychic was not bad, some of what she said made it seem real-ish. Sometimes we want to believe that stuff. Tre has a boyfriend, Melissa was sworn to secrecy so she blabs it in her TH? The Versace sweat shirt looked like she got it free with a bottle of Versace perfume, you know, gift with purchase, I would have chosen the tote bag, lol. Delores, I just cannot be mad at her, crying over her dog made me cry. Is it my imagination but every time I see Jennifer's TH I think the double "C's" Chanel pendant get's bigger and bigger. I will be having lunch with a friend today and she mentioned that she would be coming from work so not to expect her to be all dolled up, (I assured her my level of dolling up these days is wearing real pants), these women have a glam squad (or they themselves use a trowel to put on their makeup and put on fake hair) get them ready to sit in someone's living room, I can not understand that, so much effort only to turn around and come back home then have to take off all that makeup and hair. OMG, just listen to how lazy I have gotten about makeup, pandemic habits are hard to break. Maybe I will put on mascara today. Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year, currently 5781) and Yom Kippur, (the Day of Atonement, we don't do confession, we do it in one day every year) are described as the High Holy Days and they are, On Rosh Hashana I love hearing the Shofar being blown in shul, I love when my entire family has dinner at 2:30pm (because it is the break between daytime services and evening services), I even love when my Israeli cousin sings (terribly) an indiscernible tune in Hebrew. I loved that Jackie did not even pretend that she cooked let's just hope she ate. Let's talk about Tre's eating pineapple so she will have a sweet...it just sounds so desperate and stupid.

Hey, leave my dear Akiva out of this! LOL.

I half listened, looked up at the screen and saw what I thought was an egg yolk in a shot glass...I figured Natasha had convinced herself that is what high end dining should be at that moment...she really is the worst, remembering some of the other chef's on BD says a lot.
