S07.E06: Love Thy Mother

[OnceSane]

Quote

Stassi struggles to make amends with Beau after her meltdown; James tries to rekindle his friendship with Lala; Jax causes trouble at a SUR staff meeting; the Toms present their cocktails to Lisa; Katie, Kristen and Stassi's mothers come to town.

Airs January 14, 2019.

I really really hope Beau is as wonderful as he seems to be.

"I don't support people speaking badly to each other... but if you're all being nice/getting along then there's no show."

Katie needs to just let it go and not try to get into it if someone is going to accuse Kristen of being an instigator.  Kristen can goad James towards the edge and James can be an entitled asshole who can't be bothered to manage his emotions and expects to be forgiven every time he crosses the line.  The two things are not mutually exclusive.

[rideashire]

Scheana's scene with her date made me cringe, especially that kiss. I had to look away. Awkward.

That also looked like a weak demo room, they should have had way more fun stuff to break. Who wants to beat up a printer? Doesn't look satisfying in the least. 

[Mr. Miner]

Billie shut up! You’re a non factor.

[WhosThatGirl]

Schena is the worst friend actually on this show . “If it bothers you just don’t work on his nights!” 

[Wicked]

Omg, Stassi's mom is horrible!!!

[WhosThatGirl]

Another friend who’s terrible FI. It’s clear he really hates katie. Which is making all sense lately. He wanted to marry Schwartz and how he’s with Arinia who will never give  him his white wedding. With Schwartz that could have happened.

Also damn.. now we know why Stassi is like this. I’ve heard her mom on the podcast and she was much better and nicer than she’s being on the show right now.

I know why I hate Stassi, but I’m unclear why her mom does.

Methinks Stassi's mom can't stand anyone else being the center of attention, even if her method of getting attention is throwing her daughter under the bus.

[Duke2801]

Gah Stassi’s mom makes Stassi look sane and grounded. She’s awful. 

I don’t really care for either of them, but damn if that scene between James and Lala didn’t give me some feels. 

Ugh Brittany whining about how the others aren’t fawning over her and Jax’s relationship was annoying. Sorry she can have several seats as far as that situation goes. 

[WhosThatGirl]

Seriously Stassis mom is awful. 

[Emmeline]

I don’t know how old Stassi’s mom is but I don’t think she has too many eggs left to be absorbed.  Something is wrong with that women.

[rideashire]

Stassi's mom hates her own daughter....and Kristen sure pounced on that opportunity. I agree with the poster above that said now we know why Stassi is the way she is. It all makes sense.

[dosodog]

I want a Beau.  I really do.  He's like a soap opera boyfriend. Says the right things at the right moments.

That's what you call an awkward staff meeting.  Was there a point to it?

I really dislike Sandavol and his barely hidden hatred of Katie.  I would LOVE to seen Kate's reaction to that and Schwartz trying to smooth it all over.

Stassi's mom is embarrassing. 

HabbitTrail! How do you not know what that is?!?  

OMG!  Katie was spot on!  We were seeing the Witches of WeHo in menopause. 

 

And did my dislike of Billie grew tremendously in the previews. 

[Michichick]

I laughed at nobody knowing what a Habitrail was.

Stassi’s mom, in addition to being nasty to her daughter. Is also gross and inappropriate with Beau. What kind of mom acts like that to her daughter’s boyfriend, or grabs his ass or talks about his package? Ugh, she’s awful.

[JenE4]

“You literally dick punched my heart.” I don’t know how this is anatomically possible.

Seriously, FI is madly in love with Schwartz because his hate of katie is beyond ridiculous.

And Billie is a terrible person too.

Stassi's mother is awful. First of all, she's clearly on something. Second, I'd probably have self esteem issues myself if my mom told me not to be myself and mess my relationship up. That was so vile. And the fact that she thinks Stassi needs to be more like Kristen tells me allll I need to know.

And, of course, Kristen ate that shit up; and took Dana's side, even though she was being an insufferable wench. 

 

Kirsten's t-shirt line is stupid. And why is it called "James" anything?

 

I know the Toms are fuckups, but I do think Lisa should give them a bit more to do, especially with the drinks. Sandoval clearly knows what he's doing.

I did catch how quick he was to say that Katie didn't have to come to the party since James would be DJing. That was shitty. 

 

That staff meeting about James was dumb. I like Brittany; but, of course, BUSINESS people are going to prioritize BUSINESS. 

 

If I wanted to watch The Bachelor, I'd change the channel. Get Scheana and her backup dick off the screen.

[albarino]

Stassi's mom was wildly inappropriate.  Stassi can be a piece of work but I don't know what I saw.  Was she tipsy?  

I've been peri-menopausal and menopausal and those conditions can be difficult (and everybody is different); it doesn't change the frontal lobe of your brain.  Something else is happening there.

Just go with it.  

Reality television would have me believe that it's a child's job to take care of their parents and not vice versa. 

And Kristen? No. Don't do that. 

I was waiting for a "relaunch" of this:

[farmgal4]

Stassi needs to divorce her moron/maniac of a mother.

[LaLaLaLa]

Beau is the best! I could treat him like shit and he'd still worship me.

I never thought I'd say this, but poor Stassi! What a fucking train wreck of a mother.

[Batwings]

Methinks the Toms, although mostly self-sabotaging, are getting screwed with their “ownership” of TomTom.

My tiny heart grew a size during the James & LaLa sit down.

Stassi’s mom is an unhinged nightmare.

[LaLaLaLa]

• Is my DM party invite in the mail?!
• Love Stassi's mom! She's the best...and honest. #FullTimeCast
• OMG, lurved the motivational guy that was helping James. So inspiring…and way sexy

• Screw "business point of view" and $$. Why do managers worry so much about profit?
• OMG, the ladies should be allowed to get in James's face...it is on James to take it and not respond.

[TattleTeeny]

I wanted to grab Stassi and take her away from that dinner! I have experience with That Kind of Mom and the passive-aggressive tricks that come with it and it is no picnic, I tell you (I eventually put my foot down and it's better now, but I am also much older than Stassi is).

[LaLaLaLa]

Not sure why Kristen's shirts didn't sell first time around...maybe because women are so discriminated against in business? The shirts look great! I'd let a guy buy me ten of 'em.

[nexxie]

Seeing James’ mom explained a lot - ditto for Stassi’s mom.

Because she's incredibly unoriginal. The Olsen twins have a clothing line called Elizabeth and James; Reese Witherspoon has a clothing line named Draper James; and Kristin Cavallari has a jewelry line called Uncommon James. If you're a basic bitch, James is the name you use for your brand, even if you hate the one James you actually know. Stassi should put that in her book! 

[LaLaLaLa]

Love Katie's dress at DIST-RICT...love, love, love! :)

[rustyspigot]

Even Real Housewife of Dallas Brandi managed more than one rack of clothes for BrandiLand, Kristen.

I hate them all.

Brittany's journey to Bitch Land is progressing nicely. Ratting on Katie's concerns to Jax. That will go over well.

[LaLaLaLa]

Loved me some Billie Lee…great edit this week.

[Jets4274]

Beau is definitely a nice guy.  It's funny how people like him end up getting with unhinged women like Stassi.  I'm nice but can't meet anybody.  Maybe I need to read Stassi's book and learn how to become a basic bitch.

Stassi's mom is an absolute nightmare.  Can see where Stassi gets her drama queen tendencies from. I think she was shitfaced throughout the episode.

I like how Billie Lee spoke up about the James situation. I agree that Crazy Kristen is definitely a trigger.

Congrats to Robbie for getting more face time on another show besides "The Bachelorette", which is what he was probably aiming for.  Felt like I was watching an episode of it on Scheana's date. Such cheesy shit.

The hell did Kristen use James in the name of her t-shirt line?  She's cray cray.

Was great to see LaLa and James having a civil conversation.  Can tell that they truly care about each other.

 It’s named after her niece and nephew. 

[nexxie]

Ever since Blake Lively named her daughter James, I’m hearing that name a lot - Leah Jenner is now Leah James, Kristen Cavallari’s clothing line is Uncommon James, and I think some other celebs named their girls James. So another Kristin with another clothing line that has James in the name.

Yes business people would consider the bottom line, but part of the bottom line includes not being sued for allowing a hostile work environment. In all the prohibited harassment training I’ve had to attend (as a worker and as a supervisor) it’s made clear that if you feel harassed by comments or actions, then it’s on the supervisor to respond and do something about the harasser. It’s not whether James meant it or not or that he was drunk so not responsible or that he was irked by Kristen’s presence, it’s all in whether the targets of his comments feel harassed. And they’ve said they do, to their boss Lisa.

Now was she required to fire him? Not necessarily. But if I were a manager there I’d certainly be concerned about a lawsuit - and I’m not talking about Katie or Brittany who are part of the cast. The problem for management is if James goes too far with a staff person who is not on the show or with a customer, especially if he does so after they’ve had notice that there’s an issue with his behavior? That is very bad business because he’s a real risk.

All that aside I was grossed out by some of the responses from the crew at that staff meeting. Billie trying to blame Kristen for being there and provoking James so it wasn’t his fault - this despite the fact that it was others he went after. And Scheana’s suggestion that if Katie didn’t want to be around James she should just not work those nights? No words.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Who has the worst mother? Father?

[bichonblitz]

Oh, Beau. He's gonna need to learn to put his foot down with Stassi or she is going to walk all over his ass. I don't care how much he professes to be in love with her, he can't let her get away with treating him like garbage just because she cries about it the next day and says she doesn't know why she treats him that way. It sounds like she only gets in meltdown mode when she's drunk so take a hint Stassi and stop drinking so much. 

[ninjago]

Scheana has always been a fair-weather friend and it's too bad because she's obviously never going to really get back into the core group and she and Stassi (and maybe Lala) are the only women who have anything going on outside of parroting the groupthink of the group.  What are Katie, Ariana or Kristin offering this season? I'd much rather see crazy Scheana's cheeseball dates than hear another rehash of all the ways James is terrible.

[yourmomiseasy]

If that drink with the gin and hibiscus made it on to the Tom Tom menu, then I might have to go there.  I love gin and love hibiscus and have never had them together that I can remember.

[hoodooznoodooz]

I love that Beau was wearing that floral shirt.

I've done it in real life though and it's totally not awesome.  Printers just don't bust up that well.  Throwing keyboards off a movie theater roof was way better.

[WhosThatGirl]

Eh I don’t really want to watch Schena dating, if I djs, I would watch the bachelor: thats not why I’m here.

Also can Billie Lee leave? She is a terrible human and looks like the next episode is all about her drama over that girls night function(which in real time was laughable). And even looks like Lisa won’t be playing her games and for once I will raise my wine glass to Lisa and say “yes Lisa yes!!!”  Also as someone who has suffered through some things due to being a Minority of something(disabled), I never try to use it. And when I do because I need to, I always feel guilty and like I’m making excuses and I try not so it’s hard when we have someone like Billie and yes it isn’t the same but it looks like next week she will be making issues out of it. Because she can. And she does it in such a classy manner too (“she can put down the food!”)

I have no issue with her being transgender. I have issue with her being a bad person. She’s not nice and she makes everything into a big drama and totally about something else. I would have loved for a transgender person to be on the show. Billie Lee shouldn’t be the face of it. Why? Because she’s mean. And seems to have a bad heart.

Dayna has been on this show before. I don’t remember her being this crazy. 

[angelamh66]

Ugh. Robbie effing Hayes. Dude is a gross famewhore. But then I guess so is Sheana and her manufactured love triangle story. Loved Stassi calling him a cheesy dbag. I think his presence on this show combined with Big Brother people showing up on The Challenge is proof that reality tv is eating itself.
