But you have to have a fake price you can yell out before you throw them in the ocean.

No one is impressed if you're like "$16.99!!!!!!" before you Chuck them into the water.  You have to be like "the hope diamond!!!!!!!!!!" or "twelve thousand two hundred dollars and ninety eight cents!!!!!!!!"

If Scott can afford to regularly load up his coke spoon/salad server, he can totally afford $4k.

A few years ago I bought a pair of small Swarovski brand cubic zirconia stud earrings for about $16. They are my every day, understated jewelry. I was pretty surprised at how many people think they are real diamonds. (or at least they are good liars!)

 I could easily throw them into the ocean during a lovers’ quarrel and not think twice about it. I am ready to go on this show!

Are you already communicating with a mumbling convict about to be released from jail?

I think Scott's definition of "afford" may differ from a more conventional definition. Scott thinks he can afford something if he can scrape together a few pennies in cash, borrow a hundred from some worn out family member and spread the rest across his multiple, high interest rate credit cards.

Scott will wind up in jail, in debt, at the rate he’s going.

Good for him.  I feel like Lizzie and maybe Scott are acting.  Lizzie is very clearly acting......poorly.  even by the standards of a telenovela she is overdoing it. 

I think Scott is kinda in on it, but he is doing it for what he thinks is a real opportunity to get back with Lizzie.

So this wasn't the same house Tito was living in when Brit got out of jail,  is it???  I seem to remember a much nicer house on that episode.  I really feel for poor Giovanni.

Sometimes these reality shows rent Air BnBs so viewers can’t just show up at the real homes.  Maybe the bigger one wasn’t available or maybe they rented the bigger one the first time because they needed it for a large party scene.

Lizard has the nerve complaining about the ugly furniture in Scot's house. Admittedly, it is ugly as hell but she has been living in a prison for 10 years! She never fails to think she is the most entitled hottie on the planet. 

That PitBull around those babies is making me nuts!!!!   Keep it locked in a cage, with no  way to burn off puppy energy???  Recipe for disaster!  I also noticed the beast wasn't wearing a collar, so nothing to grab when you're trying to pull the Hellhound off your baby's face.  Stellar parenting right there!

Lizard using the word "tacky" ????  That's rich!  ROFLMAO...  Oh, GF, "tacky" is putting those saggy udders in that thin red dress in the TH's!   I'm so afraid one is going to escape and I'll never be able to unsee it!

Pitbulls are not necessarily bad pets, even with children. I have a pittie and have had many dogs in my life. Our pit is one of the sweetest, gentlest dogs I have ever known. 

Re: crate training, all of my dogs save one older, blind beagle were crate trained. Marcellino and Brittany's dog shouldn't be spending its life in there and as a puppy she should be getting lots of exercise, but it's not bad for her to be crated sometimes.

As for the collar - I firmly believe that all dogs should have a collar on at all times, in and out of the house. They should also be microchipped and up to date on vaccines. I hope Brittany and Marcellino are caring well for the dog. 

[Maybeitsme]

Mind blown. I just can’t not care about this mess, these people make me question everything 

Why has Lizzie been wearing a towel, albeit somewhat secure for the last two episodes? Do people usually disrobe when visiting and wear towels until ready to leave? And I was totally shocked when Scott turned out to be the one on drugs

If that’s not just part of Lizzie’s storyline. She is totally trying to act and probably thinks she will get her own show, and he will still do anything to please her. Sad

Last season I thought Clint was strange and screwed up but meant well. But this season he has shown his nasty side, although from seeing his itching and sniffing it may be the drugs talking.

I don't blame Lamar. I live in the suburbs but there are the suburbs and then there is Utah. I can understand how it would feel claustrophobic. Just like you can't make a ho a housewife, you can't make a gangsta wannabe a Utah/Mormon husband.

Brittany has gained some weight (yes I know she had a baby), she actually looked better in her prison picture. Looks like she was using the leprechaun from Utah's hair dye.

I can't stand Lizzy and she had no intentions of ever being in a relationship with Scott. Sick of seeing her half dressed, she is getting a bit long in the tooth for some of those outfits.

When Clint finally showed up out on the street, he was a lot calmer and less scratchy. Must have been a good fix.

I wish someone would kidnap Lizzie and take her far, far away. Enough of her already!

Tables got flipped on Sarah, didn’t they? I will never get the black roots with blonde hair. I color my hair, my goal is not to let my roots show. It looks cheap and trashy, to me personally.

That is fantastically generous of you, because I think she was getting too long in the tooth for her outfits like a decade ago.

Scott is a hot mess.

I really feel bad for the parents Clint.

I bet when Lizzie was in the bathroom with Scott it was the first time she ever saw his dick.

I don’t really think Scott is using again. If you noticed, he didn’t want their conversation filmed or heard but, he left the door open just enough to get the conversation filmed and heard. 😎

Kudos to Brittany for dressing up/appropriately for her visits to the attorney. It really stands out because it always bothers me how the majority of the time the others here and on 90DF wear something trashy/overly-revealing or that they don't care to make the slightest effort to underscore the seriousness of the situation they're seeing the attorney for. Not explaining it well but I hope it makes sense. I guess I liken it to going to a job interview or getting a bank loan or any other serious business matter.

[bichonblitz]

Marcellino running around the playground with Giovanni was cute. Gio looks like a happy little boy. Maybe it's best they get full custody. 

Sara and mumblemouth make beautiful babies. 

Lizard/Scott and Clint/Skankwhore are the worst actors on the planet.

Get ready for the next episode, everybody. Michael has a secret. I hope it's more exciting than Megan's I kissed a boy's big secret.

[Mothra]

It pissed me off when Marcelino explained to the lawyer that something unfortunate "happened" when he went to see Giovanni's father.  That entire miserable fight would not have occurred had Marcelino listened to Gio's mother and kept his know-it-all self out of the conversation about custody.  He didn't have the guts to say that he had fucked up and brought the whole stupid, unnecessary situation about.  I know he *sort of* acknowledged to Brittany (who I agree looks better in her prison photo--her added weight isn't just pregnancy weight), but he needs to make big apologies all the way around, even to Tito, saying he overstepped boundaries, and somehow to Gio, so the little kid isn't left with the impression that it's something *he* did to mess up his time with his mom and stepfather.  It's all on Marcelino, and I want him to acknowledge that.

[goofygirl]

Michael's big secret is that his boyfriend is getting out of the pen and they are going to run away together and live happily ever after??

And Marcelino showed up in a matching old man old old school sweat suit a la Danny Zuko in Grease.

Sarah is a straight up asshole. Her daughter was so excited to see her dad.  No matter what their relationship is, or how much of a scum bag he is, for her to take a nice moment between him and his daughters and start a fight was appalling.  Even he had the good sense to tell her that he didn't want to argue in front of the kids.

Meanwhile, I didn't even get the whole dinner argument.  She said she didn't feel like doing a family dinner.  He then agreed.  Then she yells that she's done (for the 80000th time).  It just confirms to me that she doesn't ever want to leave him.  She just hopes by claiming she is "done" that he'll be all over her and beg for her not to be done with him. AND IT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENS.

[Persnickety1]

My stepdaughter went through literally that exact piss testing scenario the night before this aired.  Her BF wasn't "feeling well" a lot of the time and she insisted he go to the doctor.  They ran some urine tests while he and my stepdaughter waited in the exam room.  Doc came back in, asked if the BF wanted her in the room for the results, and he said yes, he would never hide anything from her.

Stupid fucker tested dirty for meth.  The not "feeling well" a lot was caused by him coming down from the meth highs.  He apparently thought because he hadn't used yet that day, he would test clean.

He also did the "I can't piss!" twice in her presence and she caught onto his game and left.  When she wouldn't answer his calls, he deflected back onto her, saying she wasn't supportive enough and that's why he couldn't stop using, she just didn't love him enough.  Ugh.  It was just like the conversation between Scott and Lizzie.  

I'm not sure if that scenario on the show was scripted or not, but if it was...well, that was the epitome of life imitating art.

I think what it boils down to is that she wants him to be someone he isn't.  As who wouldn't?  But she's such a fucking slow learner--if he didn't get his shit together for the sake of their first Pretty Girl, why would she stick with him without demanding some kind of change in his behavior before she produced another Pretty Girl?  Is she hoping that the fact that their children are gorgeous will make him be faithful?  Then why the hell isn't she telling him he has lost access to his daughters unless he really breaks up with My Queen (My Quim is more like it) and starts acting like a father full time?  Is he out of jail for good now?  I understand he is on parole and lives under restrictions, so why hasn't she found a job where he has to live and moved in with him?  Being a server (does that mean waiter?) seems to me a very transportable job.  Is her family financially supporting her?  I think they would be open to subsidizing a move to wherever Michael is if it meant she and her children could be in a stable family relationship.  This whole situation reeks of Cabbage Patch Decay.

Sadly, I doubt she will.  This debacle in the doctor's office happened about 6 weeks ago and she's left/taken him back three times since then because he continues to use.  She's a beautiful girl with a heart of gold, but this dude is dragging her down a rabbit hole and has addict manipulation down to an art form.  And my stepdaughter has 3 kids under the age of 13 being dragged through this fuckery, which really pisses me off.  

If Scott is back on drugs, even "off and on" (yeah, right), I hope Lizzie walks away from the easy TLC money and goes back to obscurity and her forklift driving job.  

At least there are no small children involved in the Scott/Lizzie situation.

I know some truck drivers use speed but I have a feeling the amphetamine Scott is referring to is meth as he said he smokes it.  Hopefully he is not driving a semi while on that shit (or the heroin he claims he no longer uses).  California might want to yank his CDL until he gets himself clean before he rear ends some poor  family in a compact car.

She only had an inch or two of black hair, which equals 2-4 months of regrowth. That would mean she definitely colored/bleached it while pregnant.

Andrea/Lamar-this changed my mind about her. She totally is holding him hostage. Among my many other questions about this show, I have to add 'why didn't you bring him to Utah to see how he liked it BEFORE you married him?' 

Clint/My Goddess- poor Alice.

Lizzard/Scott- ew. Surprised Sharlene didn't realize he was on drugs. Where is this old fool getting all this money that he's tossing around (after supposedly going broke spending $100K on Lizzard)? Also, Lizzard dresses younger than her daughter; I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing what must be an industrial-strength bra under a tube top.

Mike/Megan/Sarah-such cute kids. As predicted, Mike calls BOTH of them 'Pretty Girl', rather than their names. I was slightly hopeful when Sarah vo'd that 'the longer she's in the room with him, the angrier she gets'. Wonder what the big shocking secret is that's going to end the season finale?!!!!🙄

Brit/Marcellino- Still waiting to hear Marcellino apologize for confronting Tito after Brit asked him not to. He seems to be a great dad to Gio now, but can you imagine the scenes when the kid gets into his teens and starts rebelling?

New  season preview (hope this is OK to put here)- the return of Angela and Tony! Do we really need both Duck Lips girl and gold-painted woman who looks like Tracy Morgan in drag? And again with the financial mystery- 'Amber' (with the bank robber BF and the sister who's a prison guard) has spent $30K on him, but is supporting 3 kids on $1200 a week? AND she's an 'intervention specialist' (or something)- like, with drugs?!

My God don't these young women realize how awful they look when they go plastic?  I'm almost 52; I get a little botox between my brow and just a tiny bit on my forehead to give my brow a subtle lift.  But no one ever believes I get it b/c it's so subtle.  I said no to fillers.  

These young girls who do the fillers and the lip injections don't realize that it actually makes them look like an older woman who had procedures to make them look younger.  Young women don't need it!  The "preventative" argument doesn't work b/c they'll do the  fillers forever.  If you truly want to never have a wrinkle, wait until you are my age to get the fillers.  You'll look exactly the same, but you won't look like a freak in your youth.

Right?  The guy who argues with her about being responsible isn't very responsible.

Also, if they've had Gio for an entire year while Tito presumably meths out, why go break bad with him?  Seems like it was working well -- they may not have had him legally 100% of the time, but sounds like Tito is pretty much giving them custody.  With Brittany's past, why not just wait til Tito gets busted doing whatever he's doing and then get legal custody?

I thought there was some weird editing there. When he asked her to go to dinner, just the two of them so they could talk, he said his mother would watch the kids. Then they come back to them and she looks totally different and is saying how much more angry she is getting by the minute. She says she wants to cancel dinner and he says he does too but we don't see what leads up to that. Then we get the theatrical, histrionic, "I'm DONE!" and when Michael says, "We need to get a divorce, Sarah," she freezes. Miss Done doesn't say, "Yes we do, sign here." She went there to try to get him to beg her to take him back and he didn't.

Sarah sickens me. My guess is the surprise he has for Megan is that he's getting a divorce.

You’re completely correct about coloring while pregnant 

sorry but I haven’t kept track...how ol is baby in this scene?

hair grows average 1/2 inch per month (max growth in warmer months...this looks like winter)

how much outgrowth is there? Perhaps she had done immediately after birth...
