I'm surprised there aren't more comments here as this is a great show in terms of the level of delusion these women have. I really wonder about the two women who are with guys who have like a few more decades on their sentences. They say this is my soul mate, he loves me so much... but its like a total fantasy relationship. I mean they get calls and letters all the time but they don't have to deal with any of the real life stuff at all. Also a big fantasy about how well-functioning these guys will be when they get out.

S05.E02: Seeking Danielle Davis
ChristmasJones replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in Seeking Sister Wife
Its hard to watch Danielle and Ick. I wish she would grow some self-esteem and leave this damn loser. Find a man who only wants her. He is sooooooo gross. And those sunglasses make him look like a low paid porn star from the 70's. No offense to them, but maybe like a background character in Boogie Nights. I love the interactions with his in-laws, with Danielle's brother just giving it to him straight. Please show more of that. Did anyone catch that the pregnant woman said she is a psychiatrist? Her husband said she had 12 years of schooling so that tracks. But she is on a reality tv show about bringing in a sister wife while she is pregnant????? Silly me... we are in the era of reality tv and social media where the ticket to fame and fortune is shamelessness. I do wonder what sort of setting she works in though. And to invest that much time and money into her career and then appear on this show seems odd. -
Not very snarky, but in the segment with Jessica and Craig, when they were arguing about how much money she was spending, I was thinking, go to a therapist! I was frustrated watching them because it seems like such a resolvable issue. The tension/anger between them hasn't gotten too bad yet, so this is the perfect time for them to do some preventative work before things spiral out of control. Its a big hurdle to go from being incarcerated to being out, with a partner you met while in prison. People go to therapy for much smaller issues. And its not that therapy is some magical panacea, but it just struck me how the cracks are starting to form, but they could do something proactive to change that trajectory.

You know what the butt wiggle reminded me of? Do you remember Shallow Hal's bet friend, played by Jason Alexander? He had a little tail that wiggled. And his hairdo is very similar to Clayton

Where Is Wendy Williams? - General Discussion
ChristmasJones replied to DanaK's topic in Where Is Wendy Williams?
This was hard to watch, but I think it helped to bring some unpleasant issues into the public sphere, hopefully will generate helpful conversations in families. Not exactly the same thing, but on the theme of families with elders who have a lot of money, some of you may enjoy this podcast by the BBC - the podcast is called Intrigue, and the most recent season is Million Dollar Lover. Its about a wealthy older widow who gets romantically involved with a handyman, and then documents what unfolds from there - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04sj2pt/episodes/player -
I'm going to go in a different direction on this. Not calling anyone out specifically but the references to TLC's role and how TLC should handle this are misplaced, IMO. The only reason TLC is involved in this situation is because the Browns decided that they wanted to use a reality tv show to depend on for income. If the Browns feel strongly enough about what footage should be shown or not shown going forward, they can hire attorneys to renegotiate any contracts that are currently in place. We need to remember that they made the choice to put their family baggage out for the world to see. They decided it was worth the money. They've had years and years to decide that they don't like how they're being portrayed and cancel the show. But they never did. They've never seemed to care all that much about how it would affect their kids. Maybe this tragedy will make them think differently, but maybe it won't. I say this not to put direct blame on them, but rather to shift the focus from TLC to where it belongs. Needless to say, we will likely never know, nor should we, what led Garrison to do what he did. And we won't know how much of "the show" and all that came with it factored into his pain.

Extremely devastating news. He had a whole lifetime ahead of him. I wish he could have known that there was a way through the pain. Just absolutely heartbreaking.

I love the Cup-A-Bug device! I am probably going to order one. I absolutely detest bugs and spiders, so this would be awesome. There is a particular type of bug that comes inside in the spring/summer, and this would be perfect to catch it as they usually land on the walls.

Nick's way of speaking about "fat" Americans, using the term piggy, etc., did not completely surprise me based on some personal experiences I've had with people who have moved to the US from Asia, in both cases China, who were very open and blunt in how they spoke about people's weight. It made me wonder if it is more culturally acceptable to make comments about appearance. Out of curiosity, I just googled "call people fat in China" and found this article which seems to support that there are deeper cultural elements behind comments like that - https://www.vice.com/en/article/neq3ak/people-called-me-fat-in-china This is not to say that Nick should keep doing this, of course.

Sutton Stracke: Who Is That Snob?
ChristmasJones replied to louise raboin's topic in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills
Does anyone know what Sutton's ex does for work? For her to bring in $3.6 million per year ($300K/month) in alimony/child support, he must be an extremely wealthy person. I wonder how many years she will get that. Hopefully she invests a lot of it. -
If Austin wanted to f*ck Becca, he would have done it by now... esp if they are getting along, having fun, feeling comfortable with each other, etc. The poor girl should preserve her own dignity at this point and treat him as a platonic friend, not even doing the kisses and stuff. Sadly, if she turned cold on him, he'd probably pursue her harder. This is the classic pursuer-distancer dynamic., which normally starts to evolve at least a couple of years or longer into a relationship. But to have it happening to this degree, and never having sex, at the very beginning, indicates that these two are not a match. Its a feature not a bug.

S06.E10: Life After Lockup: Fighting Chance
ChristmasJones replied to PrincessPurrsALot's topic in Love After Lockup
I feel sorry for Melissa - that is not a good nose job at all. I speak with some experience as I had one done 20 years ago. In my case, I sought out someone whose specialty was facial plastic surgery, and in particular rhinoplasty. The guy has hundreds of published research articles, written several clinical books, multiple board certifications, teaches other surgeons around the world, and is just highly specialized in the area. I was so fortunate to find someone like him where I lived back then. Hers sadly looks like a very inexpensive job from someone who doesn't have the skillset to make it look subtle and natural. -
Am I the only one who was thinking that Lauren should have been matched with the guy who got left at the alter? For some reason, I think they could work as a couple.
