It looks like Carole has ditched the fake eyelashes. Or maybe she only wears them when she walks marathons. Looks like she is keeping the guppy lips though. Her upper lip was actually quite thin back in the day when she was married to Anthony. It seems to have grown since she has been on the show. Maybe Adam was a fan. ; )

When I watched this show, I skipped by the intro so did not realize that they actually gave it away right away by showing Andrea saying "This was a love triangle". Duh. I went back to hear why the woman interviewed kept calling herself the victim's surrogate mother. But I knew the wife was involved right away, as soon as she said she turned down the side road because she felt sick. Yea, because what are the chances that some one would be needing help in a broken down car right there and then? And just happen to kill her husband? Neither she or the boyfriend were that bright, her with giving a description of a different vehicle, and he with the jacked up loud truck. I found the story pretty boring and predictable. What annoyed me was the female prosecutor giving a deal to Jessie because it was her boyfriend who actually pulled the trigger. As the second prosecutor said, there would not have been a murder without Jessie wanting her husband dead. So he gives a deal to the boyfriend too? WTF? They both get deals? Isn't that nice. BTW, I think he had 5 kids, not he and Jessie. I think they had three together, and he had 2 previously (according to the story by the time he was 18 by two different women). I don't think they were raising all 5 kids together, but she did leave 5 kids without a father. Apparently though three of them are better off being raised now without her as their mother.

I have only ever seen Jordan on BIP, but I think he is a colossal asshole too. And on the video they showed of he and Jenna planning the wedding and naming their kids? His comments regarding impregnating Jenna were cringworthy. If he was serious? Ewwww. If he was being funny? Ewwww. He makes my skin crawl. I posted earlier that I thought Kevin and Asrid's "reunion" was fake, and all for Kevin to save face. I now also think that Astrid is in on it. At the end of their segment he mouths what looks like "Thanks" and she nods her head a few times. I think they cooked this up so that he could come out not looking like he was leading her on, and she saves face by it appearing that Kevin realizes he made a mistake and wants her back. I would be surprised if they really are back together. In any case I am beginning to think Kevin is on his third time on a Bachelor franchise to get out of mandatory Sunday dinners at his mother's house.

I'd like to believe Kevin's declarations of love, but I don't. The guy is in love with being in love. And with being on TV. He was in love with Jasmine on the Canadian Bachelorette in the fall of 2016 and they broke up in the spring of 2017. He was in love with Ashley in the fall of 2017 and they broke up in the spring of this year. Then within months he is in love with Astrid. Nope, not buying it. I think he hooked up with Astrid because he wasn't getting a lot of screen time, and figured he had nothing to lose and screen time to gain. He bolted because he didn't want to get any more serious, and she obviously was falling for him. I also think his crying was fake. He now wants to make it work because he doesn't want to come across as the bad guy. So they will try to make it work, it won't work because he really doesn't love her, and he will be back on BIP next season. I would lay money on it.

Eh. At this point I will take Steve and Shane over any of the housewives, other than Shannon. I read the comments here before watching the show, and just finished it. I didn't think anything Shane said was horrible, and that he actually was pretty decent for most of the interactions. I don't blame him for thinking that Kelly was drunk. Heck, I thought she was drunk and I know what an abusive asshole she can be when she is drunk. But apparently she can also be an asshole sober. And I agree with Steve. Kelly wanted the divorce, not Michael and he is moving on. Good for him. Shane actually tried to get Emily away from Kelly when she was so upset with Kelly. But if someone called my husband those things I would be livid too. I have no sympathy for Gina. None. She pretty much admitted that she got married because everyone else was, and had kids because everyone else was. The fact that she (they) had three kids in 4 years (aren't they 5, 3, and 2 or something like that?) would put a strain on a strong relationship, which is sounds like they never really had. I don't feel sorry for her, but I do for the kids who are the ones who will pay for their parents' apparent inability to make responsible decisions. I am getting close to being done with this franchise. Tamra's sex talk in front of Steve who she admits she doesn't even know was disgusting. I would never talk like that in front of any of my friends' husbands. It seems to me she was off the rails like this when she and Simon were done. I doubt she and Eddie will last another year.

Ugh, that was annoying. A couple who should have been eliminated weeks ago wins? I can't remember if they were saved by non eliminations rounds, but do remember a few times being saved by luck alone. (ie. not getting a cab driver who got lost). Neither were all that bright or especially good at the tasks, so it ticks me off that they won. But it also disappointed me that Taylor and Courtney did not prepare for the final leg, as it is always a task that brings together what they have done throughout the race. That is about the only time that Courtney and Adam actually prepared (and I suppose the only time they really could) so good on them for that. But they still were not deserving, IMO. But all in all I was not impressed with this season, and don't know if I will bother watching the next one.

So Carole is saying that wearing lingerie was her job? So is she saying she was a "lady of the evening" at one point in her life? Hmmmmm. But honestly, isn't she years behind Hugh Heffner for wearing bedclothes as outerwear? But you just keep telling yourself you're the cool girl, HippoCarole.

The thing with Adam is, after he asked what the comp was and found out there wasn't one, he said he couldn't go because he had a job that day. So he was willing to ditch a client that was already booked if he got paid for Beth's gig? I think Adam is a liar. Regarding protecting your husband if someone made him look stupid? Adam wasn't Carole's husband, or even her boyfriend. They had broken up. Beth even said as much, as to why she called him an operator at that point. I have friends who have been married to or in relationships with jerks. I have kept my mouth shut. But once the relationship has ended (and often because either the spouse/BF was cheating, or was just an idiot and my friend(s) finally relalized it), all bets are off. Carole however was never able emotionally to let Adam go, no matter how he treated her. Hence having to keep up the narrative that she dumped him, and he was panting at her feet to come back. Despite evidence to the contrary, even from Carole's own mouth. I don't understand why Carole introduced Tins to her friend Scott if she has such disdain for her. I wonder if she and Scott are still friends? She has stated on social media that she and Tins are no longer friends. Scott just celebrated Tins' birthday with her three weeks ago in San Francisco, so whether or not they are officially together they still see each other. I hope he has kicked Carole to the curb.

I think she is reposting a pic Adam took a couple of years ago - IIRC Carole exposes a nipple in another shot. So I guess Grey at age 40 doesn't accept her age? Personally, at 61, I am quite happy with how I look. I have always had an hour glass figure and still do. I get many compliments on how I look, including my face which many tell me looks a decade younger. But I guess Grey has pretty much age shamed anyone over the age of 30? Noted. I do like her comment that you get the face you deserve. Has she seen Carole's sneer throughout most of the three episodes of the reunion? I gotta agree with Grey there.

I just looked on Grey's instagram and it was posted on July 18th with credits to who did the makeup etc. so I would imagine it is current. And this woman has a website promoting beauty products? Too funny. Edited to add - I think Carole likely smoked much more than she let on. Many women smoke to decrease their appetite and therefore stay thinner. Jackie O and Carole's MIL were well known to smoke for that reason.

Good lord. Assandra gives Beth grief for the name Skinny Girl, and then posts a pic of herself in what I could best describe as an outdated grunge heroin chic look. Apparently posting pics of yourself looking sick and anorexic is good. Skinny Girl products? Bad. Maybe Beth should change the name to Anorexic Girl to get Assandra's approval?

I had no idea, with the way Carole went on about being on the committee to approve products. I thought her friend that she is so very proud of actually produced something - lol. Carole very seriously and self importantly (how else does she do anything?) relayed that she approves very few products, and they must be effective, easy to use, and solve a problem. But basically she is just helping to decide what products that someone else has produced, CS will hock. Riveting work, Carole. No wonder Carole and CS have time to get stoned and run down people who actually DO produce. I clicked on her site and the first thing that came up was a blurb about leading artists and stars testing eye lash curlers in various places, including Jack Nicholson's limo. I kid you not. Testing an eyelash curler in the back of an 81 year old's limo is how you approve products? What demo is she targeting? Ya can't make this stuff up. But it is interesting to me that she hocks make up. That stuff that many put on their faces to try to hide imperfections, to look slimmer, appear to have bigger eyes, lips, etc. than they actually do. Why should people not just accept how they look Cassandra, rather than buy from you in an attempt to look different that they actually do?

Lu's problems aren't behind her at all. Part of her plea deal was probation for a year, attend 2 AA meetings a week, 50 hours of community service, not possess or consume alcohol or illegal drugs. Along with not knowing if her latest short stint in rehab has worked (and from what I read it takes a lot of people more than two tries), that is a lot to have going on to have cameras following you on top of that. We have no idea if the blind even refers to NY, but I doubt very much it is Beth since she has already been announced as returning. And other than losing Dennis (which is sad but not messy) her life is the same as always.

I would guess Luann. The quote was that Bravo feels it important that she deal with her messy personal life, first and foremost. Lu is the one in and out of rehab, and being sued by her ex and children. I would not call Beth's or Dorit's (unless I have missed something recent about Dorit?) personal life messy. Beth's is certainly sadder, but hardly what I would call messy which is think is the operative word. I think Lu would also be just fine with this as I don't think she wants a season devoted to her children suing her. Though I think she will miss the paycheck. It was also already announced that Beth is returning - I doubt Bravo would do that if she was coming back as a friend only. Edited to add - I only watch OC, NY and BH so I have no idea if the blind fits a howife on another franchise.

Does Cassandra Grey really think that Skinny Girl products will make one skinny? Is she that stupid? I rarely drink, because I would rather eat my calories than drink them. (And chocolate is my weakness). But if I did and bought a Skinny Girl product, I would think that it was a calorie wise choice, not that it is going to make me skinny. Lol. But I do think it is a brilliant name. Heck, my sis in law showed up at our home this weekend for dinner and brought a low calorie drink for the first time ever, to try to cut down on the amount of calories she consumes via alcohol. I am pretty sure she didn't think it would make her skinny. Lol. As someone up thread said, Cassandra and Carole sound stoned in that video. Cassandra goes on about people should be able to be the weight they are (to paraphrase) and Carole mumbles "Ya, she is unhinged". I assume she was referring to Beth, though I don't know how C&C talking about a brand Beth started years ago makes Beth unhinged. Maybe Carole was referring to Cassandra, as she is the one who sounded unhinged. I don't for a minute think that Carole was always thin. When she was married to Anthony she was in her 30s, and heavier then. Her face in particular was quite full. It seems that Carole has worked to become thin, and was positively giddy when she was not allowed to donate blood due to her weight. She is such a hypocrite.

And at that she doesn't even get perked coffee that at least takes some time and has some depth. Nope, just the insta slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am version. But as the saying goes, if you don't have any respect for yourself, don't expect anyone else to have respect for you.

Ah, I am not on Instagram either, but am on FB. Will have to check out her page. : ) I was so busy laughing that I didn't see that it actually said "View More on Instagram". Lol.

OMG, that is the funniest thing I have seen on this board, ever!! Thank you so much for posting! I don't belong to Instagram, but may have to join just for this alone. Edited to change Twitter to Instagram, because I was too busy laughing to read the source.

The funny thing is, I believe all the current HWives (which of course doesn't include Carole since she is gonzo) actually like Beth. They have had their issues with her, but Beth has been there for every one of them. One of my fav scenes will always be when Lu and Beth were fighting, and Lu said she didn't care what Beth thought of her. Beth then asked if she cared that she had lipstick (I think it was) on her face as she tried to rub it off, and Lu answered that yes, she did care about that. And that was the end of the argument. Priceless! I love that Beth can laugh at herself, and frequently does. Carole OTOH is the most pretentious, self absorbed, mean Howife that I have seen on any franchise that I watch. And that includes Vicki G, which is saying a lot. I have to admit though that after seeing the video of Carole and Cassandra Grey, I can see why they are friends. And deserve each other.

OMG, I had compared Carole's look to a shrunken apple head doll, but yours works too. Her dress does look like a suit of armor. I love that Carole kept insisting that she only went after Beth in her blogs after she saw the season air, but they kept cutting to Carole being nasty about Beth during the season. The only truthful thing Carole said during the whole reunion was that only 2 people read her blog. Watching the part again of Tins jumping off the couch, I am back to hearing her tell Carole "Take your hands off me!" But regardless, whether she said that or "What is wrong with me?", Carole comes off looking like the bitch she is. Interesting that Beth is fine with all the women other than Carole. Kind of negates the narrative that Beth doesn't get along with anyone. Ramona in part one of the reunion backed down and admitted that she and Beth are somewhat alike. Beth and Sonja are fine, and Sonja even thanked Beth for talking to her about her drinking. We know that Lu and Beth are fine as Beth was part of the intervention team that got Lu back into rehab. Beth was very nice to Tins when she talked about her frozen eggs, even saying that she understood that Tins viewed them as what might be. Dorinda was in tears over Beth apologizing for calling her a drunk, to the point of needing to hug her. Heck, Beth was even nice to Bitch Carol when she commented that at least Carole finished the marathon when Carole said she thought she finished last. Then there is Carole. She humiliated Tinsley in an effort to once again be Fight Right Carole where Beth is concerned. No regard at all for Tins' feelings. The Dream Team deserted her. Ramona told her that she doesn't see how she looks. Dorinda deserted her by dissolving into tears and hugging Bethenny. Sonja doesn't care about Carole one way or the other. Or I imagine Lu, after she would have seen Carole's glee at her downfall. I would imagine all the other women at this point are yelling "Booya, Bitch" to Carole too. And "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." I know I am.

I have no idea who Duff is, so checked out Carole's Twitter page. She is still obsessing about the show. And the funny thing is, she says (for the eleven millionth time) that she has seen far worse in her life, so the reunion was nothing. For someone who has apparently seen so much, she certainly is obsessed by something that really should not matter. Especially if she left of her own accord. (Which of course I don't believe for a minute, and certainly given her behaviour since she "left"). I am beginning to question her mental health. Then I went to Beth's Twitter page. Someone who has suffered a great loss just recently. Her page is quite lovely, and a stark contrast from Carole's. And no obsessing about the show or people on it, in fact not even a mention of the show directly. I am not on Twitter, but if I were to join I would follow Beth in a minute. Carole's toxic page? Not a chance.

I was surprised (and pleased) to see that this show has a forum. I also find these mysteries light, and usually have the mystery solved early on. But I do enjoy them, and also have a second reason why I watch. Parts of the show are filmed in the village where my mom was born and raised. At various times I can see my grandmother's house, and other parts of my grandmother's (now former) property. The diner where Jennifer and Frank often meet is the actual diner where my mom was working when she met my dad in 1949. The antique store in the show is an antique store ILR, and looks pretty much the same even down to some of the same "merchandise". (And for any fans of the Bates Motel series, the same store was used as Emma's dad's taxidermy shop and their residence.) I agree with others about the kids though - I don't really care for/about either one, or their storylines. I like both Jason and Dani and would prefer that they had more airtime.

I have read maybe three HW blogs ever - as in three separate entries in total. So serious question - are most blogs this badly written? Or even most of Carole's blogs this badly written? I had a hard time getting through it - like someone with ADD was putting into words whatever came into her head but no thought to cohesiveness, or even the ability of the reader to be able to follow along. I have read some blogs, and they are nothing like this. Either Carole is unable to focus for longer than a New York minute (which may explain her inability to meet deadlines), or she thinks writing like this is cool. What a clusterf**k of a blog. BTW, where/when was the blind item that may be about Tins?

You are right. I listened again, this time by chance on my ipad and she does say "What the hell is wrong with me?" Which makes me even sadder that Tins is making Carole's disdain of their friendship her fault. Geez, it is like an abusive relationship. Carole treats Tinsley like crap, and Tinsley thinks it is her fault. Wow.

Nope, not in Canada. The HW franchises are carried by a Canadian channel called Slice, but it does not carry WWHL. At least on the cable network I subscribe to.
