You know, I get that she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.  And there’s a slight (??) chance that she’s an opportunist.  But I don’t think she’s a bad person; she even seems sort of nice.

Know who are *not* nice?  Stassi & Katie!  I’m just glad that *everyone* isn’t ostracizing Kristen. Also, Scheana really seems to enjoy when there’s a “side” to take

I watched some of the early episodes yesterday. Stassi was talking about all the porn Jax watched, and how he loved big woman porn.  LOL!   I don't think Brittany is big at all, but looks that way next to the very skinny girls.   Jax isn't going to complain if she does put on some weight, he'll be fine with it.

Speaking of weight and celebrities.  I saw a few celebrities  in person that were supposedly heavier and OMG, they were very thin.  I can't imagine how thin some of these people really are.

Which celebrities did you see in person that you mention?

I may be entering the grassy knoll territory here, but I think Daug killed himself.

Schwartz did say Daug was depressed.
 

While I'm here, does anyone know how much Jax's wedding cost?

[GonnahearmeRoar]

Katie looks and acts depressed. She is not a happy person. Ariana says she is depressed but still takes care of herself and acts like herself. The ugliness of depression and all of its faces. Perhaps Katie was always depressed but I didn’t notice it as much. What I do get is that Katie is treating Kristin very poorly. Her soft spot for Kristin is gone. Katie has become a miserable and jealous friend and wife. Hope she gets some treatment because alcohol isn’t the answer. In the previews, Schwartz says he doesn’t want to have sex with her. Her depression is going to ruin all her relationships. You know she says mean stuff to Schwartz.

I hate them so much I don't even have the words.  The smug, we-are-too-good-for-you ASSHOLE smirking was where I lost it.  If you don't want to be friends with her, which you know will actually be very painful for her, be nice about it.  Why do you want to twist a knife into someone?  Because they are "miserable?"  Sooooo if my friends are miserable, I use that as an opportunity to REALLY hurt them and stop being friends?  Jesus christ!  Horrible people!

It never occurred to me that Logan's party was before DJ Muppet Baby's first AA meeting. Surely, LaLa would know that?

I re-watched just to be sure, as this is apparently my life now, and I think Lala would have to know and she was just trying to stir up trouble, but it doesn’t detract from how dumb Raquel was in making the truth (which was in her favor) somehow look like a lie:

At the scene in the coffee shop Raquel tells Lala that “yesterday” she took James to his first AA meeting, and it was a big deal for him.

At Villa Rosa, James tell Lisa that he went to an AA meeting yesterday, his first meeting ever.

Then, in the next scene, Brittney says the extra party will be “tonight.”

At the extra party, Lala tells Raquel that James was at a party at which Logan said he saw video of “everyone getting fucked up” and the show flashes back to “six nights earlier” when James tells Raquel he was going to a birthday party that night.

When Lala brings the info to Raquel, Raquel just says “shut the fuck up” and “that’s not even true” and that she thought Lala would have her back and not spread this rumor.  

I know that things are filmed out of sequence sometimes, but only going on what the show gave us, the birthday party occurred days before James “got sober.”  If he and Raquel weren’t so defensive and such big liars, they could have said, “yes, that happened, and James is turning over a new leaf.  Why are you spreading rumors now, Lala?”  Turn the tables on her!  The truth will set you free.  No one believes James wasn’t getting fucked up at that party, do they?  So the lie just casts a shadow on all of their (Lala’s, James’s, Raquel’s and Logan’s) characters (Raquel says talking about her character is fair game, so I guess she’s cool with this), when it was an opportunity to make Lala and Logan look exclusively awful.

Raquel and James could have gotten a mulligan off this one and came away with the high ground, to boot, if they would have thought more and lied less.

[Callaphera]

I had the episode on in the background while doing some cleaning (because I was too lazy to switch the channel away from a rerun) and got to relive my favourite moment.

(basically)
Raquel: "You called me stupid before and that was, like, really really mean, and, like, I can't sit here and talk to you if you really think I'm stupid because, like, I'm not stupid."
Lala: "Oh, no. I wouldn't waste my time if you were really stupid. You're dumb but you could be dumber."
Raquel: "That's so nice! Thanks you for saying that! I really... is that a unicorn?"
Lala: *slowly dying inside*

This is why I am convinced that James and Raquel's arrival wasn't planned with production. No way would she show up looking like that if she knew cameras would be there. Also, she and James didn't sound mic'd.

I understand your meaning but have we seen Lala's credentials?  She is apparently good (self-professed) at BJs for PJs but does she have a degree/job before this abortion (literary liberty--A Confederacy of Dunces) or has she actually done anything?  Seriously, has she done a damn thing? If not, shut up.  

All of these folks are jokes, and I can laugh with them, but when they take themselves seriously, then I say Oh No.  You're jokes.  Some are skinny jokes, some are fat jokes but you're all jokes.

Lala claims her time is precious.  Oh?  You don’t have a (real) job, you don’t have kids, you don’t have some high profile philanthropic position (sorry, “volunteering” at Vanderpump Dogs while the cameras are there does not count).  Please let me understand how her time is so limited that it is deemed “precious.”

I didn't quite catch it, but was Katie's main criticism that Kristen copypastas inspirational sayings from Etsy for her tshirts? Whatever happened to Katie's "Fat and Frumpy" (or was it "Dumpy and Dour"?) fashion blog website? 

Sulk and Sneer (Pucker and Pout) takes a ton of work. It takes so much work that the last piece Katie did for it was May 2018.

Kristen bought a home, is renovating said home, relaunched her t-shirt line, wrote a book, and collaborated with Katie and Stassi on the Witches of Weho wine by Nocking Point.

I highly doubt that. Jax is all about the superficial. He was complaining about her weight gain when they did that Kentucky spinoff show. He said all she does is sit on the couch and eat all day. He was really nasty about it and it pissed off Brittney's dad.  Then she lost weight. I think her weight fluctuates back and forth quite a bit. 

 

Not only was he nasty to Brittany about her weight gain during their spin off, Jax cheated on Brittany with Faith during that timeframe. Jax told Faith in that recording that he was no longer attracted to Brittany. He'd absolutely cheat on her if she couldn't lose the baby weight.

Lauren is from a suburb of Salt Lake City. She's a high school graduate and that's it. All of her career success is because of this show or Randall. She's not in the position to stand in judgment of anyone.

Seriously, for Katie to say that when Kristen actually gets stuff done, and she does LITERALLY nothing, you have to wonder if she has any self-awareness at all.

Everyone forgets the AWFUL things Jax said about Brittany on that recording.  How could Brittany hear that and still marry him???  

Lauren from SLC thinks she's a Real Housewife.  Remember on a reunion, maybe last year's, she said something like, "we all love our Chanel bags, right Lisa?"  She fancies herself Lisa's contemporary.

I bet Kristen is annoying as hell, but she seems to really care about these hateful people. I feel really sorry for her. Based on social media, it seems this mean girl behavior has continued into the present in real time. 

Spoiler

Stassi is still holding Kristen's lack of invitation to her precious wedding over poor Kristen's head as recently as on her podcast last week. These people are horrible.

Sandy said production wouldn’t “let” them (or strongly discouraged them) get furniture while filming because they want continuity throughout the season—like, the season started with them being the “no furniture” house, and they want them to maintain that throughout the season.

Agree about Raquel. I’ve seen her apologizing to people on social media that she can’t give money to the people who ask her for it. I really think she has a good heart. She deserves far better than James.

No, not at all.  None of the celebrities were thought of as over weight, maybe Doris Roberts.  But she was much more petite in person.  In my opinion, Florence, Mimi Rogers and others looked average on screen.  Healthy, not big at all.  In person, they were so much thinner then average in my opinion.  It's like Brooke Shields said after appearing on Friends, "those girls are so small."  Brooke was not heavy at all, but Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston were SO thin.  I only stated Brittany is probably much thinner in person, as  the others I mentioned, not that anyone is overweight in the names I wrote.

Raquel deserved an apology from Lala, not the bullshit she got. Sober or not, Lala sucks.

I actually thought Jax’s advice to Kristin about accepting that sometimes friendships grow apart and you end up not as close to people and it’s best to just accept that as a part of growing up and let it go was pretty good. I hate it when Jax makes sense. It makes me question everything I hold true.

Which, imvho, makes it all the more imperative to take it to a veterinarian when it seems "depressed".   What an asshole idiot.  Just because it's a lizard doesn't mean it should be ignored until it finally dies from a long and painful death.  Had they done that to a dog or cat, people would have had a fit. 

As it is, a harmless, little reptile was deliberately abused  until it finally died from who knows what kind of torturous demise.    People are so mindlessly cruel it makes my heart hurt.  If it's not up to snuff in the cuddle department, no one seems to give a shit if they suffer or not. 

Speaking of mindless cruelty....I don't even care for Kristen and I hurt for her.  Not satisfied watching her boyfriend avail himself of her insecurity, Stassi and Katie compound her misery by treating her even worse than Carter ever dreamed of.  WTF is wrong with these people?   Oh...you're not happy?  You cry all the time.  Well....then you can't be OUR friend.    GAH!  Kristin is far more fortunate than she knows right now.

So true. I too, wonder why Douchebag Schwartz never took Daug to a vet. Sometimes reptiles become ill simply because their owner is feeding them the wrong diet.

One would think that would be your first priority when choosing to bring a pet home from anywhere, let alone when you pick one up from some stranger off the street.

Reptiles have very specific food, temperature and humidity requirements to their habitat.  You can't just throw them in an aquarium and hope for the best.   They are God's creatures with feelings and if you accept the responsibility of caring for one, then do it to the best of your ability. 

All Schwartz needed to do was forego a few drinks and he could have gotten that little lizard the best veterinary care around.  He's a cruel, ignorant dick who chooses to remain ignorant while he slowly tortures little animals to death and then says how bad he feels about doing it.  Zero comprehension or empathy.  

I hope he and his Morticia-wanna-be wife stay married.   They deserve each other.

Seriously, I think Schwartz has skated by all his life on his boyish good looks/charm and not much else. It figures he’d hook up with a She-Hulk like Katie to constantly nag him and keep the household running semi-smoothly.
