S08.E13: The Liar, the Witch and the Postnup

[lilmarysunshine]

I think Liz said she is still upholding her terms of the lease so maybe that is why she is upset about the mess? She does not want to lose deposit money?

But yes. She went back hoping Ed had changed his mind about her. For Pete's sake ....

I actually thought Rob handled himself well in that exchange with her mom. He does not need to sit there and just listen to her invective. And I don't even like Rob, No wonder why Sophie is such a head case. 

Loren was selfish and irresponsible to insist on having all that surgery when her kids are so little. She would have been so much better off waiting at least another couple of years until the youngest was more independent. Here is a thought: Get off social media and/or reality TV if you are that sensitive about your looks! No shade. There is NO WAY I could ever handle that kind of scrutiny. Which is reason #87 why I don't do that. I would rather work a 9-5!

She's arguing in her spare time.

Maybe the theme of this week should be: "Keep your nose out of where it don't belong!"

Exhibit 1: What business is it of Father Thais if John wants (or feels obligated to) pay his father rent?  On what planet does that affect him?

Exhibit 2: For his entire first season and most of this one, I have not liked Rob.  However, I was fully on Team Rob this time.  Claire, who looks like an old English bulldog,  needs to butt all the way out.  Sophie will never find a decent man because they'll meet Claire and run.

My son-in-law may not be...who I would have chosen, let's put it that way.  But my daughter did choose him, and thus I don't have a say.  He seems decent, and treats her extremely well.  Her dad and I butt out.  We will do the same if a daughter-in-law comes into the picture.

Exhibit 3: At the time of filming, Emily and Kobe had been married three years and had 2.5 children.  Exes are way in the rear view, and what do you care about the timing when he was on the other side of the world from Cameroon?  The ex never showed, good on her.  

Why did Grangela ever bother bringing Michael to America after she spends yet another episode abusing him?  Why would he even bother?  How many times have I waited for Michael to pour a drink on her cigarette and walk out?  She is terrible, not even sometimes sympathetic as she might have been way back.  

According to Gino, despite my DNA and my appearance, I'm not a real woman nor an attractive one.  Not quiet, sweet, and meek (read: put up with his BS).  Both of these people are just obnoxious. 

I almost screamed at Liz through the TV when she actually started cleaning.  I so hoped Liz or Mom Liz would have dumped the smoothie on that little creep.  He's so not worth tears.  Again I say, what was worth going back for his grief that wasn't available in San Diego?  And that was low even for Ed; make a crack about a mother's parenting and you're apt to get knocked into next week.

Does anyone care about Kobe’s ex?

Ummm...more than I care about Angela.

Class?  IQ points? Compassion?

I enjoy fast-forwarding through MOST of the couples' stories.  Not most "stories," but most "couples."

Because he's an asshole. 

I have to admit, of all the reality TV villains, I despise Ed the most. To the point that I despise him even during my regular life. I'll catch his name online and the hate bubbles up.

He is SUCH a terrible person. How does he live with himself? Don't answer that.

WHY do the producers continue to hire him.  He's probably miserable to work with for them too.  His/Liz's "romance" is one of them that gets the FAST-FORWARD treatment from me.  Ed and Angela should ride off into the sunset together (and never return).

I don't begrudge Loren her surgery. I just feel if they can afford a mommy makeover, they can afford a nanny, or house cleaner.

I'm not buying the narrative. I think they determined this will be their storyline.

I am guessing she had most if not all of it comped for the publicity the doctor got.

I agree. She obviously really wanted it, but I also agree that a) she and Alex didn't plan well, they should have hired a nanny and cleaner, and b) that a lot of this drama is storyline, and a boring one at that.

Alexei seems pretty tired and pissed. I really think Loren didn’t tell the whole truth. She has a history of “ask for forgiveness later” behavior.

I agree, but from what we saw Alexei accompanied her to her doctor appointments, so he got the information the same time she did.   I think she played it like she was SuperMom and wouldn't need as much recovery time as the doc said, but now that the doctor is telling her that it can affect her ultimate outcome, she's trying harder to comply.
