S08.E08: Three Blind Wives

[Pepper Mostly]

Right? I'm struggling to stay awake here. 

Anyone have anecdotes? Houseguest is in NYC for the weekend so I have been lazing around and doing housewifely tasks. And today I took my kitchen chairs, which were old conference room chairs that I salvaged from Tufts, and scrubbed them down. The chairs are wood and really nice, not some shit plastic conference room furniture. I've been ignoring them for years, idly wondering if I should paint them or leave them be. You know, they're old. But I scrubbed off some of the finish too, which tells me that the wood is probably not super high quality so do I really want to preserve it? Painting them white would look super cute in my kitchen. Thoughts? 

[sainte-chapelle]

Wait did he say that Pat kidnapped his grown ass daughter ??? Please. She is no innocent wall flower

[judylo]

Oy. This Carlos.

Jasmine's baby talk to the alligator is bizarre, even for her.  Now she wants to be in a pageant for low self-esteem issues?   

Its part of their never ending search for a story line. She really can't get much more plastic surgery. It looks like they've opted not to go the "visit to a fertility specialist" route. So what's left? Launch a fashion line?

She isn’t property Carlos. He doesn’t need your permission.

I can't be a good influence here, because I have bought several chairs thinking I would paint them all white, but that hasn't happened yet. But one of them has a beautiful carved floral back, and I 100% am going to refinish and reupholster this chair if it kills me!

They are already married and have a kid! Carlos, the ship has sailed!

[magemaud]

Yeah, a beauty pageant is a great way to boost your self-esteem as long as you WIN! But I guess this is just some kind of coaching and not an actual pageant

I’d try the white paint.

She should open an axe throwing place.

I would love to see Jasmine's fashion line. I'm sure it would be very classy! 😉

[Auntie Anxiety]

Just stopping in to say that Imodium works if you remember to take it.

I love the look of wood, I have a few antique pieces so if it does turn out to be good quality I would do a nice oil or stain. Otherwise paint away!

You go girl, I believe in you!

I've been watching lots of furniture flip videos lately, I'm getting inspired. I still have to repaint my coffee table (I do it every few. years), and I have a blanket chest I've been wanting to paint and line with cedar. Now that the weather's nice I can lug stuff outside. The blanket chest is just an MDF one from Overstock, so painting it wouldn't be a gross sacrilege.

I have a great idea for a bonding experience for Patrick and Carlos, invite him over for an apartment painting party!

Yes, Sophie, you need a little something more than positive energy from crystals! 🤣

I'd refinish them in a wood tone. My tabletop was white and it began to look gross, so I did one of those Minwax wood finishes and never looked back.

[MagicEyes]

Oh no! Not the ho phone!

[magemaud]

Did Claire have her wisdom teeth out or something? 

[MagicEyes]

So Rob got the spiders to guard his ho phone. He's not so stupid, is he?

I have a couple of old wood office chairs (also from Tufts, they never threw anything away!). A swivel desk chair and a guest chair, both really old and nice, I wouldn't touch them with paint. Ditto old school desks, I have three, and wouldn't dream of painting them. The conference room chairs are old but I don't think they're super great quality. And the existing finish, after washing, is a disappointing orange-y brown color. I think a coat or two of no bleed primer and some bright white paint would look cute in my kitchen, which is painted white and robins egg blue. I could paint my table too, I bought it at Pier One 30 odd years ago, the wood doesn't match the chairs, so painting everything white would bring it all together.

A fashion line, by way of drop shipments from Ali Baba, or a makeup line that never materializes.

They could always go to the ax throwing bar. 

[MagicEyes]

Did Rob just confess to having a bodybuilder fetish? 

[sainte-chapelle]

I’m more concerned about the spiders. Don’t they need a proper tank?

I'd be really disappointed if she didn't have a signature lip gloss. 

[Shelbie]

My husband walked in and saw Claire and asked what on earth she had done to her face.

I painted my Conran's coffee table white years ago when the cheap veneer finish started getting shitty. So I repaint it every so often when it gets tired looking. I think I'm going to paint it a bright color next, just for fun. I love that thing, It cost me $140 sometime in the 80s, its HUGE.

I bought my table at Pier One, too. I didn't think it was super quality wood, but it was actually much better looking after I took the white off and did the wood finish.

It looks like she was beaten by someone wearing brass knuckles.

Proper tanks are bougie.

Mine is a kind of pine color with a white tile top. I usually have a tablecloth on it because one of the tiles is cracked. 

She's finally doing what she wants for herself. Getting married to the man of her dreams and having three beautiful children was just....an obligation? An onerous duty? 

[renatae]

If my husband brought home spiders, I'd freak.

He needs to learn how to speak to her as a human being, not become a pet parent to bizarro "pets."

[MagicEyes]

I did have to do a little googling to see if Loren survived the surgery. 

[renatae]

Jasmine is blown away by Gino's predilection for insects!  She's so impressed.

[sainte-chapelle]

I’m with Alexi, that can happen and she will end up like Larissa

[Pepper Mostly]

Why did Rob and Sophie ever get together? They can't stand each other!

They looked hot on social media. They never even thought that personalities could matter.

[Zombness]

Can't wait to see what John is going to do in Brazil.

Hard pass on MILF manor. Goodnight all!

[renatae]

My husband's dad used to be a forester in the Okefenokee swamp before he went to work for Goodyear. We went there a few years ago, and the swamp tour was done in a boat no higher off the water than a rowboat. If the alligators had come after us, we were like sitting ducks, and it would have been bye bye.

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, good night my snarky darlings! See you gluttons for punishment tomorrow night. I love you all, MWAH!

[Zombness]

Good night everyone....have a great week.

[renatae]

Goodnight, all! Sleep tight, don't let the insects, tarantulas, or alligators bite!

[Polliwollidoodle]

I just finished reading all your brilliance here. Re Claire, could be the teeth but I think she has been overdoing the lip fillers. If you notice when she slurs her words  speaks, her lips are rather locked in place.

Geeze Manuel, your whole life is a vacation! Playing on your phone, pestering your Mommy to give you money!🙄

There is a name for this phenomenon, it's called "running out of storylines!"

Sorry, posted before I saw Pepper's comment!!

The way Nicole sounds like a fkn cow yelling Mackmooooood out of her car window. Ugh.

[Stuckathome]

There is no way the production staff didn’t help Nicole find Mackmoooood. He had already been out there wandering the streets with a suitcase ONG enough for her to sober up and change out of her dress to the jaunty beret ensemble. Was I the only one who felt a bit uncomfortable watching her basically force him into her car?  I hope he sticks to his guns and leaves her ass. The gaslighting and manipulation from her was insane especially since cameras captured the reality of what she said to him with her friends there. 
 

Manuel and Ashley are both spoiled immature babies. I am guessing he hasn’t said much about his kids or introduced them because he really isn’t all that involved in their lives. The entire situation with his breakfast with a friend was like a late teen/early twenty something episode. He should have just said I want some alone time with my friend be back soon. And she sits there on her phone and just keeps saying “i am not speaking to you” over and over. And her line in the bar about being triggered and that why she yells? Give me a break. They are toxic grifters and may deserve each other. 
 

Sophie….i do feel bad for her if he is hiding a “ho phone”. Why would he be dumb enough to turn on its Bluetooth??!!
