S14.E08: Striking a Balance

[Mindthinkr]

I love the party balloons that spelled out: 

Taco Bout A Party.     Ingenious. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Hahaha, the editors/producers are certainly foreshadowing the Lindsay-Mark blow up. It’s as subtle as dropping an anvil on our heads.

[candall]

At the wedding receptions, the insights and handy tips from friends & family almost broke up half the marriages.  I can see why the producers have gone back to that particular well.

[Kiss my mutt]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall as Alyssa’s friend is watching what went down compared to her revision. Of course, she drops in that they’re rescuing a dog like  see, “I’m a good fucking person!” 

[Mindthinkr]

Who’s house would y’all rather eat at? Tacos, pizza or Asian food?

But, but, I thought Alyssa was allergic to dogs?!

Or maybe just allergic to Chris, the nice guy.

All of the above.

[candall]

That chicken feet thing is actually a decent indicator about background and compatibility.  My people would be among the "no chicken feet" folk.

This Texan says tacos, 💯!

Also, I’d like to add, Alyssa, please don’t come to Texas. We have actual nice people here, not those who say it every 5 minutes to try and make it true.

I'd take the tacos and Asian food.  I wouldn't eat the pizza because Lindsey put her hands on her face and had her hand in her hair and then she stuck her hands in the pizza dough.  She nasty.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Like Steven, my ex always had the best of intentions and thought that just having those intentions was good enough. Words are cheap, Steven.

[Straycat80]

It sounds like Steve has a plan for income and has some money in savings. I can understand Noi’s concerns too. Maybe if he assured her she doesn’t have to worry about money, that would put her at ease.

Other than the chicken feet, I’d prefer the Asian. 

[Mindthinkr]

So far this has not been the most exciting episode. I don’t miss Ice, but she sure gave us a lot of fodder for chat. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’m still chuckling about Alyssa going to her psychic to help her figure out what’s next. Hon, get your money back from that fraud. Look at your life!!

[Kiss my mutt]

Watching Lindsey with the pizza after hearing about her finishing herself is not exactly appetizing. I’ll take the tacos. Wait, wut?

If I were at Jamsina and Michael's place I'd get stone cold sloppy drunk. 

[Straycat80]

Michael has no friends? The alcohol he put in those margaritas (?), no wonder those three woman are SO happy. 

[Mindthinkr]

Michael and Jasmina’s party looks like the most fun so far. Or it could be all that tequila lol. 

[Crashcourse]

Even their friends know that Michael and Jasmina aren't going to make it.

[JenE4]

This bitch (Alyssa) has the audacity to say Chris wasn’t putting in the effort and she was ready to try in the marriage?! I think Texan cowboys aren’t the target audience for this show, but somebody needs to put out an all-points bulletin warning these men that ACE is on her way.  (I’m fast-forwarding commercials but somehow still getting further behind.)

You have a low bar for nasty, though.  I don't like people double-dipping and getting their spit in the big party bowl of guacamole, but if I'm at the house of a good friend, I'm pretty relaxed about the prep conditions.  Lindsey probably showered and shampooed within 90 minutes of that pizza rollout.  She cootie-free.

[Crashcourse]

I wouldn't count on it.

[Kiss my mutt]

I bet the RHOC is dead again tonight!

I’m glad Jasmina and Michael seem to be working on things and are leaning into it more. They need to relax and try to have some fun. Woe to she who mess with Micheal though, because his sis is having none of it.

Same here. I either put a spoonful on my plate to dip into or break things into smaller pieces so they only get dipped once. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

@JenE4, Alyssa is living in an alternate reality. Chris was smart to give her enough rope to hang herself. He came out smelling like a rose.

[Crashcourse]

O's buddy is cute.

[Straycat80]

Why is Katina’s friend wearing an Olympic medal? 

[Mindthinkr]

Katina’s friends look tough. I’d be scared to mess with them if I was Olaj. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m still bewildered that Alyssa had hoped to find a cowboy waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Granted, I haven’t spent much time in the northeast but I’m pretty sure it’s not a hotbed of cowboys and ranchers. 

Mr Feeney is so cute!

Olajuwon and Katina should go to Harvard Extension School for a cooking course.

Pizza. 

[candall]

Ah!  They're all wearing a strand of Mardi Gras beads.  Got it!

[Auntie Anxiety]

This show would be only one hour long if they cut out all the “like(s).”

[Crashcourse]

OMG!  Noodlegate!  

[Straycat80]

Uh oh, noodle-gate. 

[Mindthinkr]

Nobody wears Mardi Gras beads better than my man. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Fighting over ramen noodles. Yep, we’re approaching Jump The Shark (heh) territory.

[Mindthinkr]

I have to say if you do have celiac disease eating regular noodles will give you a very bad night. 
It’s a valid point if someone has food allergies or real issues. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I feel like I need an instant replay on noodlegate. She’s mad because he drained his noodles? I didn’t even hear him say anything.

I don't know if she was joking but she said she's moving to Texas.  Yeah. 🙄

Yeah, I'm confused too.

Wherein Noi says, "Fuck you, Steve! I am outta here."

[Crashcourse]

O looks so much better with a haircut.

WTF is up with the noodles?  Why is Noi upset?

[mythoughtis]

I understand that Steve thinks he can get a job any time he wants.   The problem is he doesn’t want.  He’s one of those people that works long   enough to fund his non working periods… and then there’s an illness or a disability or a recession and their savings run out.   I’m 63, retired now but  was in the info technology field.  It’s not as easy to get a job when your skills aren’t the newest whatever in the field and you’ve been in the field  long enough to have a top salary. 
As to Noi-  she can’t cook two pots of noodles at once? And  she  gets mad at him? 
these two are both immature and old enough that they should be ashamed of it

But doesn’t someone with Celiac not eat noodles, ever? I don’t understand what happened…each were cooking their own noodles and  Steve complained she let them overcook? Is that not what happened? Bizarre!! Noodles, people, noodles.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Looks like there’s trouble in paradise. Noi isn’t mad about the noodles. She’s pissed about Steve not having a job and him making fun if her desire for three kids.

[Crashcourse]

So Noi walked out because of noodles?  Steve didn't like Noi's noodles?  Or Noi didn't like Steves noodles?  Whaaaaat???

[candall]

Yeow.  That "social media post" was brutal.
