I had totally forgotten that Erika came to Teddi's with LVP. (Though I should have remembered as I made fun last week of the fact that Erika handed LVP's cake to Teddi as if it was from her). So it is even odder that Erika's assistant drove down to where Teddi's beach house was and stayed in a hotel....why? I guess in case Erika changed her mind at midnight, so the assistant could then haul her ass to Teddi's to pick up her boss and deposit her at a hotel. Apparently Erika could not on her own call a taxi/uber and check into said hotel herself. Is this woman capable of doing anything without an assistant/lackey? I kind of run hot and cold on Erika depending on how self absorbed she is being, but she is getting on my nerves this season. I am also amazed that someone who claims to not care what others think, and to be a private person is writing an autobiography. And who in the world would want to read it? Even in the days that I like Erika, I have no interest in her bio. This reminds me of a book I read years ago written by someone who was accepted to Harvard Medical School, and then a year or so in decided that it wasn't for him and wanted to quit. He said that Harvard did everything it could to get him to stay, and that pretty much anyone who gets accepted graduates because it looks bad on them if someone flunks out. Maybe it is the same with law school - lol.

LOL. I had to look this up, because while I know what a cameltoe is, since Lisa was wearing runners I assumed at FUPA cameltoe must mean something else. Thanks for the laugh. She did indeed look awful - lumpy and bumpy in the front, and her ass looked huge.

Arriving on both days, Erika had on dark pants. However when they showed the scene where she said "I've got my bed" at Teddy's, she had changed into a flowing white skirt with black abstract print, which she was also wearing when the ladies were outside in the evening. I had terrible cramps and heavy periods due to fibroids, and can certainly understand worrying about bleeding through clothes, onto sheets, etc. But I also would never have worn a flowing white skirt while dealing with the problem.

Lol. You do realize that there are different looks with make up, other than the Baby Jane version that Erika often wears in her THs? (And this is from someone who usually likes Erika). The next morning she was wearing mascara, eye liner on her upper lids, pink lipstick and gloss and pink blush. Her brows were also done. She looked lovely, as she often does when she goes with lighter makeup, rather than the troweled on variety ie. no false eyelashes, heavy foundation and blush and bright lipstick. But made up, she was. (This is coming from someone who only ever wears light make up - many can't tell I am wearing any. But I do usually wear it - lol).

Thank you for posting this pic, BRAVOFAN27. When I saw Erika with this dress, I was shocked as I couldn't imagine anyone else having bad enough taste to purchase it. Like you, I remember it from Shark Tank as I thought then (and still do) that it is the ugliest dress I have ever seen. And considering how some dress on the RH franchises, that is saying a lot. I also agree with you that Erika had no intention of staying at Teddy's, and don't understand why she wasn't just honest with her to start with, given that Teddy gave her guests that choice in her email. I did love Teddy's face at the dinner, as the ladies rehashed once again who said what, when and where. Her "WTF am I doing with these women?" face was priceless. I would have the same face. Heck, I have it at home watching them. Dorito isn't even worth talking about at this point, since she is so bad at shit stirring. She is so thirsty to hang on to her spot, it is glaringly obvious. My only other comment is Vanderpump hauling around the ugly pink Chanel luggage like a purse. I know these women like oversize purses, but that just looked ridiculous. She looked like a tourist that was afraid to leave her overnight bag in her hotel, and insisted on carting it around with her.

That is odd, because is specifically remember when they were first engaged, Mykelti saying that they wanted the wedding guests to throw frisbees across the isle, because that is how they met so they thought it would be fitting. Am I the only one who remembers this? I am sure I didn't dream it, because luckily my nightmares do not include the Browns. But I remember it because I thought it was such a stupid idea. Edited to add - the pawn shop guy may have carried out the idea unbeknownst to them, but I am sure it was their idea to begin with. Which is why I was surprised that they apparently hadn't carried it out, like they did all their other stupid ideas.

I don't think Christine's singing would have been so bad if she hadn't insisted on singing in a key that normally only dogs can hear. Didn't she have a coach and a guy accompanying her? Why did no one tell her? I read some of these comments before I watched the show, and saw several in regards to Kody's hair. Which is always a topic of conversation so I didn't think too much about it. Then I saw what he did to it for the wedding. OMFG! He looked like that guy who is in jail with his wife for keeping their 13 kids prisoners in their own home. Did Kody use a curling iron to curl the ends under, or did someone do it for him? Did no one tell him how bad it looked? OMFG, because it can't be said too often. So many horrific things that blinded my eyes, but none more than Tony and his buddy wailing on the pinata of Tony's bride. Which of the sisters did they show looking on in horror? I am sure my face mirrored hers. Worst wedding idea, ever. And with this wedding, that is saying a lot. BTW, why was Mykelti so surprised that there were frisbees being thrown across the isle as they walked down it post wedding? IIRC, it was her (their) idea.

I would think many who have dealt with mental illnesses, either personally or via family and friends (the real ones, not the contrived soap opera variety) would consider it a negative thing.

I want to hit my head against a wall every time the subject of Tessa getting a low income housing apartment is brought up. I know Nick is a Newman, and may not realize that what may be low income for him is actually a middle class income for many others. Does he really think that besides Tessa living off his mother, Sharon and Noah since she came to town, that being the exec assistant to billionaire Devon pays wages that would qualify her as low income? Grrrrrr. Hillary should be worried about who her baby sperm came from. A couple of years ago there was a case where a man who had been donating sperm over a 14 year period and fathered 36 children was not the brilliant, accomplished and highly educated man he claimed to be. Rather he was a college dropout, had served time, and had both schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder. The reason I remember the case is that my sis in law's niece and her same sex partner had used a U.S. sperm bank to conceive their child, and I thought how devastating it would be to find your donor was not at all who/what he pretended to be. The parents of the 36 kids he did father were understandably worried that their child may inherit his mental illness(s).

My favourite scene was Rebecca with Dr. K. Gerald McRaney was brilliant, as always. I loved that Rebecca asked him to sit with her for awhile after their talk, as she really did seem to draw a lot of strength fro him. I hope Gerald wins another Guest Actor Emmy for his portrayal of Dr. K. My other fav scene was when Kevin reached out in the car after the funeral/reception and touched Randall's wrist. Very sweet. I really hope (and imagine they will) they address what happens to the dog. How ironic that Jack told the doctor that he went into the house to get Louie, not because he loves the dog but because he loves the girl that loves the dog. So he loses his life because of the decision he makes, and Kate gives away the dog? At least I am assuming she does, as why else would she still not want a dog years later? OTOH, Louie deserves to be loved for the innocent furball he is, not blamed for something that is not his fault and he had no control over. So IMO Kate doesn't deserve him.

The funniest thing about the potluck for me was Erica telling LisaV that she didn't bring anything for the potluck and Lisa saying she had a cake. Then at Teddy's Erica hands LisaV's cake to Teddy and says "This is for you" as if it is from her. Lol. I don't think Teddy is 'cheap' at all in not providing all the food for the potluck. She is having all these women stay over at her house (which to me is a lot more work than making a few dishes), plus I would imagine feeding them breakfast, if not lunch too. That is above and beyond, to me. I am shocked that Kyle did not know about Lisa's jewelry line, or anything about her childhood. Though maybe Lisa tried to tell her previously, and Kyle was too busy taking calls from her agent. It did seem like though that some of the drama was of the manufactured type. I did enjoy PK joking about the likeness of Phoenix in the gift Dorito gave him. And then dropping the $1500 gift and breaking it. Easy come, easy go.

I love Tracey, but the poor woman is treated so badly by the show. Her only daughter is killed off, she and her hubby divorce, she has Jack, Ashley and Billy for sibs and now her mother doesn't remember her. She really deserves some happiness in her life! I don't mind Phyll being the one to expose ChelzCon, if that gets her out of my life sooner. I like that she confronted Chelz in front of Nick. I really hope the show is not going to revisit a Mariah/Tessa pairing. That ship has sailed, and Mariah deserves so much better. I would love it if Y&R cleaned house and got rid of Chelz, Tessa and Hillary in one swoop.

That's amazing! Did he really name it after his dog? It is a great game! I am always amused when tennis players take it up as they find it surprisingly a much faster game than tennis!

Exactly my point. Randall was making it a party for himself and inviting his children's friends. And expecting them to watch the show to boot. Even Beth said to Randall that it was stupid for him to invite all these kids who have no idea what football is, and don't care. I don't know that Randall is having the party because his father saved him in a ranging infero. He said he is having it because it was Jack's favourite day. The fact that he is wearing an apron with flames and something to the effect of hot dad written on it makes me think that he is not exactly mourning that his dad died because of a fire. But as always, we are all entitled to our opinions. Mine is that Randall is a self absorbed ass.

I looked it up as I am Canadian as well and have often found when travelling in the states that I can't get chocolate bars that I like. I like that we have both Smarties and M&Ms, though personally I prefer M&Ms. She does act older I think. According to google (assuming it is correct) Tess was born in Oct, 2008.

So googling I found that: The Milky Way in the U.S. is known as the Mars bar everywhere else in the world. There used to be an American Mars bar, but it is now called Snickers Almond Bar. The Milky Way in the rest of the world is like an American 3 Musketeers bar. Why all this is so, I have no idea.........

No to belabour the point, but the kids are not "very young". Tess, who was very vocal about not wanting a superbowl party is 9. So since Randall always celebrates this day in honour of Jack, she has seen him do this before. And since the party had to be planned in advance, I am sure Tess voiced her displeasure at the idea in the planning stages. Also contrary to Randall's remark that he needs some boys in the house, Tess plays soccer. So it isn't that she doesn't like sports, she just has no interest in football. As someone who has played (and watched) many sports since childhood, I also dislike football. I was willing to give Randall a pass as just being typical self indulgent Randall until he told the kids to sit down and watch the pregame. That is bordering on child abuse IMO. Lol.

I will bring my cheese ball. This past December a group that I play pickleball with decided to have a Christmas potluck. I knew right away that I would bring Christmas themed sugar cookies that a friend who has a business making themed cookies makes. (I have bought previously for xmas, Thanksgiving and Easter). So I said as we were discussing the potluck that I would bring cookies because I don't cook. One of the ladies said it was just as well, as if I didn't like to cook I likely was a bad cook. So I made my cheese ball as well just to show her that I could indeed cook. (OK, technically it wasn't cooking, but I was in the kitchen which is close enough for me). The funny thing is that the friend who gave me the recipe years ago is a great cook, but can't make this cheese ball set to save her life. So her cheese ball is never rolled in chopped pecans which is the final step, but rather is served as a blob in a bowl. Mine OTOH have never not turned out. I agree about Kyle. I want to like her, I really do. But then she says or does something that turns me off. At the moment I am turned off by her contradicting comments that her three shows are based on her past life, or they aren't. Pick a lane, Kyle. Oh, and I hate the way she dresses. For someone who owns a clothing store you would think she would have better taste. Or at least someone to advise her. But then Erika does, and her stuff is hit or miss to me.

To quote Beth, "I don't know why you want to have a Superbowl party for 20 little girls to watch a game that they don't understand or care about". Randall's reply was "Its important to me that the girls love the day". Once again, it is all about Randall. Not only that the day be important to his girls, but 20 of their friends as well. Tessa made it very clear that she had no interest, and even said "Why do we have to have a party anyway? Our friends only care about the half time show". Randall not only expected 20 little girls to watch the show, but also the pregame (!) show as he told them to sit down and watch while commentators told them what they could expect to see in a few hours. Luckily for them, Mr McGiggles made the supreme sacrifice, so that 20 little girls could search for him rather than indulge Randall. He really is insufferable this season.

I rolled my eyes when Lala Wood said that the finger pointing has to stop. Isn't she the one doing the finger pointing? I don't have a problem believing that Natalie got into the dinghy in an attempt to leave the boat. She obviously didn't have a problem going in it the night before with the caretaker of the boat to go to shore to a hotel room. And the evening she died they once again went to shore, and back again. So she may have been afraid of dark water but not enough to have stayed off the dinghy at least 3 times after dark, in two days. The fact that she was wearing a down jacket over her night clothes makes me believe that she left on her own. I don't think if she was killed by Wagner in the heat of an argument he would bother to dress her in a jacket before disposing of her body. Also the cop made a big deal about the bruises she had on her body, including I think some that were on and around her head, calling it a beating. But the caretaker who ID'd the body didn't say he thought she looked like she had been beaten. And he even thinks Wagner did it. Finally the fact that Walken also thought she left the boat makes he think she did. He would have no reason to lie for Wagner, he was Natalie's friend. Looks to me like too many people (Lana, caretaker and the cops) are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame. In Lana's case I think it would be more fame than she has ever gotten from her career.

Eh. I have had a problem with the writing since the already- second-hand- and -not -working -properly -18- years- ago- crock- pot was the cause of the fire. I find it hard to believe that it hadn't acted up sometime/several times over the past 18 years and already been discarded by this time. Also as someone else mentioned, I don't believe that there would not have been at least one smoke alarm on the second floor of the house. Kate should not have blamed herself for her dad going back for the dog, she should have blamed her dad for gathering up stupid things like the tape and albums as the house burned around him. I like that adult Kate acknowledged that she is lucky to have Toby, as he is always doing nice things for her and she rarely gives him credit. Randall was getting on my last nerve when he insisted on having a Superbowl party for a bunch of little girls, because it is important to him. I hate football, and would have hated that party. I was also glad that his daughter called him out on how his behaviour in the last year or so makes her think he is running away from his life. And her. My fav scene was Kevin talking to Rebecca on the phone, and my fav line was Rebecca saying that Jack sent Kevin to her. Very sweet. I found the scene in the hospital when Jack was coding unbelievable. I went through this 22 years ago with my father. I actually was on the phone, contacting my two brothers to tell them to get on a plane (they both lived in different provinces from where I and my dad were). Over the course of about an hour code blue was called several times over the PA system. Even if Rebecca heard that and didn't think it was for Jack, one would think she would look and see those rushing towards where his room was. But there was no indication that it was even called. And as others have said, he was pronounced dead way too quickly. Poor writing takes me out of the scene, as that is what I concentrate on.

During the conversation with Teddy only Ken said it couldn't be Dorito, after Lisa said she thought she knew who it was. Lisa didn't say anything after Ken said it couldn't be Dorito, IMO because Dorito is exactly who she thought it was.

ChelseaCon is indeed rusty. She refers back to her con days, and then says she has no idea that someone can use the SS number of a dead person to steal that person's identity. Everyone knows that, ChelseaCon. I like that Phyllis had a suspicious look on her face when Chels was giving all the reasons not to call the police. And how stupid of her to tell Nick that she wanted to contact the police but Lauren didn't. Ask if Nick might never talk to JT, Phyll or Lauren about it. There was no reason to lie to Nick, she could have easily given him the same reasons she gave to the others. It has been obvious for awhile that ChelseaCon was going to make a reappearance. When she told Hillary that people don't change in reference to Hillary, it was obvious that it would come to mean that Chels hadn't changed either. I just wish she would take Hillary with her when she goes. Speaking of cons, why is Tessa homeless? She lived with Nikki rent free when she first came to town, then with Sharon rent free, then moved in with Noah who I doubt was hitting her up for rent/grocery money considering he is a Newman and she was his girlfriend. And she is still working for billionaire Devon, just not as a musician. I have no idea why that qualifies her for low income housing. Where is Ashley living now? Maybe she could use an apartment as well.

That reminds me, wasn't it Dorito who had a fit last year over the t-shirt dress that Erika wore to a party she was giving? It was an expensive designer dress (though you would not know it) and Dorito thought she was totally underdressed. At least from what I remember it was Dorito because I can't see anyone else caring or calling attention to it.

Aw Walnutqueen, I too have a failing memory as I forgot that you are indeed Canadian!! Which means that your punctuation was totally correct! I live in the Okanagan Valley and remember you saying you love it. But Fort Langley is my second favourite place to be! My maternal great grandparents on both sides settled there in the early 1900s and great grandmother was instrumental in getting the beautiful community hall built. I have a ton of family history in that place! I love that the parts of the town are used in so many shows including Riverdale and the Bates Motel series. So nice to reconnect with you over our shared love! Regarding potlucks, I have loved them since childhood, growing up in a small town where our church would host potlucks and much of the town would turn out. The funny thing I have found with potlucks I have attended over the years (including an xmas party one in December) that whether there is a sign up sheet for which category of food you are going to bring or it is a free for all, there is always a great variety and fabulous food! I love that Teddy is having one, as others have said if for no other reason that getting some of the women out of their pretentious comfort zones.
