Brittany could have worn fifty other dresses that would have been more attractive on her than that orange strapless interview dress. I would have thought that at least one person in production would have encouraged her to wear something else. 

That thing is awful. Her right tit is strangely bulging up, unlike the left one. I dont want to criticize Brittany for post-baby weight gain. No way. But come on production, be her ally.

Then there's the opening credits where she is wearing that two piece formal: again with the ill fitting bright sequin top, paired with the satin skirt, both emphazizing her bulging midriff, all made even worse by the unflattering camera angle looking up at her from the ground.

Awful.

You may think I’m crazy but I  like Jesse.  There has been a hint about a secret and it seems to be about Michelle cheating.

[whydoievencare]

I thought Michelle's comment about hoping Kristin isn't pregnant because "we don't need more of her" was incredibly nasty.  She seems like a particularly sour person.  I do like Nia and her husband Dan. They seem like a good couple and I feel for her that she's having such difficulties emotionally.  I really hope she does look for some help.

Who’s name are they bleeping out with the Michelle stuff?

It makes no sense Jesse and Michelle went from fucking a few times to getting married and having a kid. They clearly don’t like each other.

Luke and Kristen are her typical relationship. I don’t see it lasting. 

Danny is starting to seem like a little whiny baby.

Idk if Brittany needs to slow down on her drinking but Jax cokehead Taylor is the last to lecture anyone on drinking lol.

Jesse annoyed at his daughter’s artwork and wanting to throw it out. Michelle acquiescing. 
 

I’m not sure if Michelle relented only to placate Jesse. 
 

But I find my once three-year-old’s art absolutely charming and more valuable than saffron or truffles.

Nia & Dan are my favorite and I don't mind Janet & Jason. Her comment on zillowing everyone's house made me laugh. 

Michelle is moving suspiciously, which made me a bit more sympathetic to Jesse. Why would one sign up for reality TV when they know they have skeletons in the closet waiting to be exposed? Plus, he can truly be funny at times.

Really not liking Luke, there's something dark there.

It took years but I can finally say it, I don't like Brittany. I find her obnoxious & selfish. Actually found myself siding with Jax and you know he's no prize.  What the heck was going on with her right boob? It looked to have a huge bruise on it. Her wardrobe choices are truly baffling...

It sure was.  Nobody needs another Michelle,  yet she still had one.

She's so ridiculous.  How can you expect your husband to take you seriously when you're wearing a t-shirt with multiple pictures of him on it?

Brittany - girl - whatever miniscule wrinkles you may have HAS TO look better than your current eyebrow situation due to Botox. 

Welp, this episode made me like Jesse more and Michelle less.

I can't believe the producers let that comment air.  Especially since Kristin has since revealed she had a misscarriage not long after filming ended.

What's the secret that Luke knows about Michelle?!?

Probably that she cheated on Jesse, and the person is 'famous' so they bleeped the name out, but he hangs around at the Abbey? Now I want to know!  Though if the group seems to suspect she's cheating on him, how 'secret' can it be?

I feel bad for Kristen. The crap some of them have been saying to the camera about her is pretty mean. 

I don't like Janet.

[MaggieG]

I got a divorce about 2 years ago and I'm ok most of the time, but watching Jesse and Michelle talk through some of their issues was a bit hard to watch for me. 

I'm going to need Luke to spill all the tea here. And if he knows, for sure Kristen knows. Whatever this secret is, it probably came from her.

Also, LOL at Kristen saying "being an empath is hard" and everyone's reactions 😂

Kristen was on WWHL and said all will be revealed soon on The Valley.

I think  Jesse is softer than he wants to look, he wants to be this hard as nails person. Sex is important  in a relationship,  just ask the person who isn't having  any. That's Jesse imho. I liked Michelle,  I don't  think shed be a delight  to live with. Unhappy  couples , make me sad to watch sometimes.  Jax and Brittany  aren't  going to last, they are more like brother  and sister. I don't  know why Britt  has to drink so much, that she throws up, blacks out. That isn't  fun after awhile, surely.

Has Michelle  texted photos  to someone? I thought  it was said in the previews.  If Luke  knows something,  it has to have come from the empath herself. Kristen  is delusional. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

How many times has Jesse said to Isabella, “Don’t tell Mommy”?

[MaggieG]

No idea if this is true but the Reddit streets are saying the director that Michelle is talking to at Chateau is either Michael Bay or Quinten Tarantino.

I immediately thought of QT, although MB is probably more likely.

Has anyone seen Michelle's feet?  Their attractiveness could be a clue.

[choclatechip45]

I enjoyed this episode. Nia is my favorite. Can't stand Michelle. I feel bad for Jesse. 

[Chatty Cake]

I know we can’t tell based on the show but Jesse does seem like a good dad that wants his marriage to work. 
I kind of understood Danny having a hard time with 2 infants and 1 baby.  I think Nia was okay leaving that girls night to go home. Even though she is struggling, I think she wanted her family. 
I feel bad for Brittany. I know she’s a mess and she chose Jax to be her husband and baby daddy but if he’s that big a jerk on camera, imagine him off.  Plus she’s taking a lot of heat for her unflattering looks.

I don't watch this show regularly, so I have to ask: which valley girl is Michelle and who/what is Chateau? Is it a movie production company? A French restaurant?

is Michelle the former beauty pageant winner?

Re: Brittany. She's pretty. She does wear unflattering clothes but so what. If she is comfortable in that look, then wear it.

Reminds me of old men who become aware that they have deep crevices/,lines around their nose and mouth. (I think they're called Marionette lines). So that's when those older guys start growing mustaches and goatees...to hide those flaws. 

If that's what makes them feel better then why can't Brittany wear what she is comfortable wearing. She made a bad choice in a husband but I think she just wanted that dream wedding and a baby. No matter what the cost.

Michelle has very dark hair and kind of looks like Phoebe Cates. Her husband has grey hair at his temples. They have one daughter.

The former pageant woman is Nia. She’s married to Daniel Booko, who is not very tall. He used to be on Hannah Montana. They have a son and twin infant daughters.

Michelle and Jesse’s house is not far from Chateau Marmont.

The Chateau Marmont is a hotel located at 8221 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. The hotel was designed by architects Arnold A. Weitzman and William Douglas Lee and completed in 1929. It was modeled loosely after the Château d'Amboise, a royal retreat in France's Loire Valley.
