thank you, lal producers, for allowing us viewers a glimpse of rachel and doug finally constipating their marriage 😒 i’m also shading doug for making it a priority to fuck his wife ASAP, but not to see his CHILD on his 41st day of freedom. no wonder the poor kid hates him! 

i have an adult sister who has aspergers, and i have a feeling daonte is also on the spectrum - he can’t read a social cue to save his life, talks about extremely private/inappropriate things, and is the only person blind to the fact that nicollllllle has been/is using the absolute shit out of him. i’m disgusted that not a single one of his friends/family members kept him from embarrassing himself on tv, not to mention wasting a ton of money on (another) trashbag whore. 

ray is kind of dull, no? me thinks he isn’t as clean as he wants us to believe he is. he has that subdued, slurred narcotic speech and can hardly open his eyes. how horrible about his mother’s murder, that kind of trauma would destroy any child. he needs prioritize therapy/addiction treatment over making two back to back babies with brittney. 

last but not least…. STANIMAL, YOU FREAK! a fucking straight jacket??!!?!! why do i picture him asking lisa to peg him? brb, gotta find a fork to claw out my eyeballs with

[vintagesac]

 

This is all I could picture with Stan in his velvet jacket, talking about intimate times, his beady old eyes gleaming. He really squicks me out. 

I totally agree about Daonte being on the spectrum. I hope he gets rid of blondie quickly, before she sucks any more money and gifts out of him.

This new lady, Anissa, she’s this season’s Angela. I think her dude will show up and make her life Hell.

Doug is just ugh. 

Like how explicit was he about their sex?  I know...editing, but I find Doug unattractive and icky and I find Rachel annoying and I'm tired of hearing Doug's height and Rachel's height in relation to them having sex.  I.....DON'T......CARE.  I never cared to start with and the constant discussion makes me care even less.  

Also, he is not the man of her house, he is not the man of any house. and I expect, in forty days or less,, Doug is going to stop being grateful and start being resentful.  Rachel has all these things that he doesn't have, and I'm sure he thinks that, by rights, as the "man of the house" he should have them.

Daonte is corny as hell.  I still feel no pity for him.  

That whole engagement story was so cringey.  Like, who would think that "I might as well ask you to marry me" and "okay" was a serious engagement? Did he have the roll of money in his car?  Then he told her mom about "nicholle jr?"  the fuck?  I do not agree that getting physically excited by a headless doll is the same as a vibrator and EVEN IF I DID, I wouldn't have that discussion with my "fiance's" mother.  Did a producer tell him that was a good idea?  He looked so goofy the entire time with that dumb as shit grin across his face "oh, she didn't tell you we were engaged....tee hee" "I bought a doll, tee hee"

Nicole's mother has got to be on the few women on this show who doesn't see her daughter through rose tinted glasses.  It must be nice to have a mom who knows you are a shitty human being, but still loves you.  Good on her.  

Nichole is going to be the one to end things, I predict.  She is sort of shitty for letting him know where her mom lives because he will FOR SURE, show up there and be annoying.  

The new lady does seem like a less charming Angela.  But I love that everyone in her life pretty much thinks she has an imaginary boyfriend she made up.  

Those wigs Stan got Lisa were nice units, but she  managed to make them look like cheap party city wigs.  I'm not entirely sure Lisa got a call from her kid, but Stan's comment was still callous.  

 

[Hellohappylife]

Rachel really loves to keep reminding us that Doug is 6’5….so are guys in the NBA,some are even taller!! Nothing about that relationship gives of a real Love vibe. Just Sex. Sex. Sex. Which is perfectly okay & fun, but jeez don’t let him get you pregnant! 

Someone needs to get Nicolle some purple shampoo ASAP after that horrid dye job. Not to mention, Every mother dreams of the day that her daughter’s “fiancé” shares information on how he gets off by sexing a headless torso sex toy named after your daughter. 

Love that stan told lisa how good she looks,as he’s frantically reaching for a wig 😆😆 Stan stop lying!!!

Da fuq was that infomercial Daonte gave for Nicole Jr during the commercial interstitial?! You can slap it. You can use the lube of your choice. But that wasn’t even as bad as telling Nicole’s mother—your girlfriend’s mother that you just met—about it!! Why, Daonte, why? And then we need to see Rachel and Doug trying to force themselves together like two mismatched puzzle pieces. And, worst of all, Stan licking his lips with his pointy snake tongue while talking about getting Lisa in his sex dungeon and making her look at his erection! For sure, Stan popped a Viagra on the way to the prison, so good for you for having Part D or whatever Medicare, I guess. Lisa was not lying when she said she looked like her brother; she looked nothing like her photos—not even just the hair, but her entire face was different. She was also wistfully talking about missing the ladies in prison, so I don’t think she had any interest in what was getting tangled in the steering wheel. No doubt she brought up the straight jacket first thing so she can incapacitate him in the basement then rob his entire house. Thank the warden we got a woman with an imaginary boyfriend as a palate cleanser. I wouldn’t have been able to handle another scene of hide the dill pickle. I realize these people are horny as hell, but please do not subject us viewers to this! We’re giving you ratings, and this is the thanks we get?! 

[Kroliosis]

I understand Rachel was in the Marines, but I always assumed the reserved Veterans parking spots were for older people who served. I don’t know why of all the things THAT annoyed me.

That's probably why he was resenting every minute she was late getting out of the slammer.  Those things kick in pretty quickly, and he was probably already walking around with an erection in the parking lot, complaining that "they" were cutting into "Stan's time."

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

I'm 5' tall and my first husband was a 6' 5" football player and weighed about 300 pounds.

And I believe Rachel was the one who brought up the kid, not Doug.  

His response reminded me of someone who was scheduled for a root canal, not someone finally being able to see his child. 

It was as if he couldn't get away from the topic of his son quickly enough. 

Loved the way Daonte was all googly eyed about Nichole...and then they cut to Nicole getting all canned spray tanned and doing her hair...to go meet another dude.  

Stan seems to be under the impression he bought and paid for Lisa and she is now his love slave.  I have a feeling this won't end well for freaky Stan, and I can't wait to see it all play out for my amusement.  

Grandma who appeared this episode (I can't remember her name).  One look at her in that wedding gown and all I could think of was "corpse bride" because she looks, acts and walks like she's 90 years old.  I agree that she and her prison dude are this season's Tony and Angela.   

I appreciated the RIP Goddess at the end.  What a tragic ending to her life.  Thanks for the best memories I have of this train wreck, Tracey.  

Spoiler

And WTF was that in next week's preview.  Was Stan actually telling Lisa he'd be happier if she had no family or friends?  Unbelievable.

So Muskrat Sam can't modernize his kitchen, but he can build a sex dungeon? Also, I'm sorry but I never got into the 50 Shades stuff- is the strait jacket for the doer or the do-ee? Either way, this seems like an even less appealing 'game' than furry handcuffs on the bedposts.

And how come he cares about his elderly kitty, but poo-poo's Lisa's suicidal young son? Although I wouldn't be surprised if that was a con. leading up to Lisa needing $$$ for sonny boy's stint in rehab/therapy.

Lisa's curly Halloween wig attached to a headband can't have cost more than 19.99.

I still don't understand why Ray was taken back in the prison van, but I was lol'ing at him hunching over trying to kiss her with her enormous chest getting in the way. And didn't she SAY she was a lawyer? Why does her chyron now say 'health advocate'- what even is that?

Nikki (Sr.) is a dumbo for letting Daonte know where she lives, and telling him he can come over without specifying a time. And of course she's wearing shorts that her butt cheeks hang out of.  Every time she says his name, I hear 'Beyonce'. 

I would have guessed Anissa (?) was close to 70.  Usually when this show drags a new couple in later in the season, they don't last long.

Did we really have to see Rachel's legs in their prissy Mary Jane heels spread out around Dirty Doug's shoulders, ick.

She goes up to people in the frozen foods aisle in the grocery store and tells them that they should spend more time in the produce section.

I had to wait a beat before it struck me that Lisa could have really been talking to anyone.  

She isn't into Stan and wants his money.  

I wonder if she knows she is in the will. I'm sure her "son" could stay with them and Stan could have an....unfortunate accident.  

19 is legal, but at 30, I wouldn't have had anything in common with a 20 year old.  I can believe she is 50.  

I'm just amused that her own friends think she might be making him up.  

They are trying to make her male friend into the guy from Angela's storyline.  But this guy is clearly married and is a bad actor...he kept sideeyeing to the camera. 

Last time we got a new cast member this late it was Heather and that was because her storyline was so short, but dramatic.  I wonder if that's the case with Anissa.

Thank you.  I’m new to the show this season (big trash junkie & have been reading about it for years).  And I keep wanting to ask why they don’t behave like normal people.  But that would just be wasting my breath and annoying everyone, yes?

I just kept screaming “NO!” out loud whenever Daonte brought up his “toy.”  I’m thinking he’s gonna end up less heartbroken if he gets engaged to *it* instead.

how about how Nicolle’s mom has her number? I can’t imagine feeling like that about my own kid!  We can be hopeful if we want, but it’s just a matter of time…

”I’m just gonna let Daonte take care of me for awhile.”

For some reason, so far I hate her the most….?

this will probably change.

Matt Sharp is a fool if he isn't trying to talk daonte onto some Russian love site so he can be on 90DF.

I believe Daonte is in desperate need of a guardian. He seems to have issues with basic social skills and has trouble picking up on social cues.  The look on Nicolle’s mom’s face when he was telling her about Nicolle Junior was priceless.  I thought she was going to call the police.  I have a feeling production is egging him on. Their storyline is an ID Murder Mystery waiting to happen.

Doug’s comment that the only time he had ever been in a home like Rachel’s was to rob it, gave me pause.  I have a feeling some of her more expensive electronics and jewelry are going to turn up missing.  I noticed that he changed the subject every time she mentioned his son.  He doesn’t seem the least bit interested in him.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he is already back in prison. 

They seem to be using Angela’s template for Anissa and Shavel’s for Britney. 

Is it my imagination or are there more commercials than actual content?

As "man of the house" I'm sure Doug will feel entitled and Rachel will convince herself it some precious sign of his love.  There are couples who are perfectly fine and happy when the woman makes more than the man.  Mr. "I'm the man of the house" and "buy me bologna" does not strike me as a guy who is going to be  able to cope.  

I think its going to bother him, a lot, and his insecurity will make him try to control Rachel, and at 6'5 to her 4'10 I think its going to be get ugly, fast.  The minute she puts her foot down about anything it'll be a problem.  He gets drunk and demands to use the car and she won't let him?  It'll be a problem.  

**As for Daonte, I do think the producers are, at least somewhat egging him on.  I imagine said producer is either a woman that Daonte is desperate to impress or some "bro type" he thinks he is cool with.  

But, producer intervention explains that creepy ass grin sitting on his face the entire time.  

@sempervivum - well, now all I can hear is "Beyonce"  Damn you for being exactly correct!

I don't know for sure, but off the top of my head I know that non-attorneys can represent clients in certain areas of administrative law, like for Social Security and Education, and I'd imagine its the same for like Medicare appeals.  I mean technically these people are not attorneys, but I could see how....someone who places so much value on status, might say they are an attorney.  But I'm pretty sure its not legal to hold yourself out as an attorney if you are not one.  And I suppose the term "healthcare advocate" could also work. 

That is pure conjecture and guessing....but its one version that makes sense to me.

Please! Let's be accurate here. Rachel is 4'10" and a half. As she says whenever she mentions her height. 

And as I think we all know, sometimes half an inch can make a big difference. 😜

Rachel will chalk it up to Doug “flexing.” Because she’s 💯% sure that her third convict is the charm.

WRT “healthcare advocate,” I’ll put that in the same category as sanitation engineer. It’s a euphemism for someone who answers the phone at the local AARP satellite office and transfers your call to the next available health plan operator.

I agree. He's already "flexed" on her on the phone and she thought it was cute (!), but I see a lot more of that because he'll be insecure about the fact that he can't provide for her the same way she can provide for herself (has he ever worked? It seems like he's been locked up his whole adult life, right?) and he'll flex harder. Plus it sounds like he comes from a rougher background that Rachel does.

And Doug has mentioned him on the show, in addition to him appearing. I wonder if he's just scared to see him - he probably barely knows him. He's only been around him in person for 40 days out of his life; maybe he's ashamed. From his time on the show, his son seems overly mature in that way that kids who have been exposed to too much too young have to be. If his mother is an addict, as Rachel said, he's probably seen some shit.

That poor child tugged at my dark heart like Miley Grace did. Sarah (Patch) and Shavel are questioning tacky mothers with their male choices of partners and sperm donors but their kids are clean, well fed and seem happy. They have a fighting chance, their eyes aren't aged and old yet. Miley Grace and Dougie seem like old folks already. I hope their smart little brains give them that chance their parents and their choices have not.
