Derrick should've said no when he could.  I think everyone but him saw that she wasn't gonna be faithful. 

[ssmjlm]

Is anyone watching Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

It's still a terrible show, but the drama this week was at least somewhat decent. Also, Adam getting upset because Jenna had a previous boyfriend, well duh, dude.

Possibly the most exciting episode of the season! HA!  What a train wreck of a season, but now I can't wait for next week.

Yup! Katie drives me nuts. I think it’s very endearing that he hasn’t told anyone he loves them and is waiting to save it for the right person and she saw that as a negative. Can’t wait for next week and hope the clips we saw aren’t going to disappoint.

[basilosaurus]

Dr Viv's eyerolls were fantastic. I don't care if they're creatively edited. Her disdain for zach is amazing.

Poor Derreck. I'm sure Katie is schtupping the ex. Even if she weren't sleeping around she still treats him terribly.

[yourmother]

Summer House - Lyndsey's new man seems super nice and completely her opposite. I'm thinking she's going to get tired of him quickly since he appears to be low-maintenance and a lap dog. However, I think it's exactly what she needs.

Luke is such a mixed-signals kinda guy. And I'm sure that's what Paige sees and that's why she's not on board with the relationship between him and Hannah.

Carl and Jules...on next week's previews... wow! That's bold of them to leave the door open! LOL!


RHOBH - Was pleasantly surprised that this first episode was captivating. I've been bored with them and it's nice to see that there's some drama coming up more sooner than later. Love Garcelle and can't stand (so far) Sutton.

[fivechickens]

RHBH

I see Dorit is just as obnoxious as ever. I thought the episode was good for a first episode. I wonder if Denise’s story line is more than just her relationship with Brandy (although, I would be embarrassed to admit I was with her just in general). I thought Denise and her H had an somewhat open relationship. I am curious if it is related to Charlie and what was brought up about him suing her.

[morecoffeeplease]

I can't stand Adam and Jenna. I think Parker should have been fired but I also think he's a hard worker and I wish he could keep himself in check.

I actually think Glen is an awful captain.

I agree with this. He seems like he really wants the "cool kids"  to like him and it colors everything he does.

I know we only see a little bit of everything but I'm shocked he's fine with Jenna spending her time cleaning glasses and doing not much else.

All of this.  Jenna is a terrible chief stew (at least based on what they show) and her and Adam are just annoying.  I don't watch Below Deck Med, so I don't know if Adam is always like this or just bringing it out on this show.

[cleo29]

First, I like Mindy'd lip color, I wish I could ask her what she uses. lol

I was happy with most of is, though sad for Derrick because I think he is a good guy and I think he will be one that when he does fall in love with a person, it will be for life.

I still need to watch SH and RHBH. Sailing Yacht, I feel for most of the understaff. I think Jenna is a terrible chief stew, the captain wants to be friends more than anything. I also wonder how much PAget has really tried to train Parker. I get this sense that they wanted him to just know everything and are annoyed at having to teach him.

I feel like he was worse this season. He was such an asshole about her and Georgia talking about that past boyfriend. I mean, what are the odds?? How could that not be discussed? lol

Carl is such a fucking hypocrite. Like no, you have not been considering her feelings. The only reason you didn’t have a girl out is because she stood you up. God, he is such an unlikeable dick

I couldn't get into Below Deck Sailing Yacht

RHOBH - I thought the first episode was entertaining. You can tell Erica is trying to bring more to the show this season. She's usually so closed of and cold, so I thought it was big of her to take them to the strip club. She gave an interview recently saying the ladies had tried so hard to make an entertaining show, and she was tired of people asking about Lisa Vanderpump. I think Dorit is as annoying and unlikeable as ever with the way she was criticizing Kyle's clothing line and fashion show. I find it hard to believe that Dorit was much better when she was starting out. Sutton seemed stuck up and annoying.

Vanderpump - does anyone else think this show is circling the drain? Part of me was wondering if Katie and Tom were actually legally married all along and just made up the marriage certificate story so that they had a new story line.

[cleo29]

cuadrado, I agree about VPR. There is nothing new. Y'all are getting old and now it is boring. scheana... I continue to feel embarrassed for her. Also, is an egg retrieval a surgery? I have never heard it described as one.

Brittany and Jax’s wedding for half a season? Katie and Schwartz wedding for the rest. Next season Stassi’s wedding for half a season, Brittany’s pregnancy the other half.

cuadrado , I agree about VPR. There is nothing new. Y'all are getting old and now it is boring. scheana... I continue to feel embarrassed for her. Also, is an egg retrieval a surgery? I have never heard it described as one.

I think she was using the word surgery because she's dramatic. It is a medical procedure with an IV sedative but I don't think you're fully intubated or anything. To me it's the same thing as calling a colonoscopy a surgery.

The sad thing is that they could be making the show more interesting - it would have been fun to watch them build the wine business, shop for houses, etc. Didn't every single one of them purchase a house and move during the off-season of the show? We're stuck watching a lizard's funeral and a wedding that could have been covered in 2 episodes. Katie and Stassi deciding they don't like Kristin ruins a lot of the fun dynamic of watching them.

I rolled my eyes at the egg retrieval surgery. It’s like 2 seconds long and you’re out for like 30 minutes *maybe*.

OK, I would have called it a procedure, thinking the same thing as you, but I did not want to be insensitive.  Also, I think of surgery as something that involves you being cut open in some way, even small incisions.

I am still a bit surprised at Tom and Katie being together. They just do not seem happy.

If I were Mindy, from MAFS, I think I might be offended that I was matched by the experts with Zach. Outside of both being active and physically fit, they don’t seem to be a match, at all. At least Brandon tried when the cameras weren’t around. (Though his attitude there at the end showed no grasp that he is a big part of the problem! I wanted to smack that grin off of his face.)

[ssmjlm]

I figured I would drop this in here, but Kate Chastain is getting her own show on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM channel: blog.siriusxm.com/kate-chastain-to-host-live-weekly-show-exclusively-on-siriusxms-radio-andy/

Looks like she's doing just fine post Below Deck and all the drama last season.

I don't understand him.  He does look smug when he does that smile and there is no acknowledgement of the role he plays in any of these situations.  At the decision day, he just wanted to waste production's time (the need for a bathroom break) and get back at them.

Just because you have been hurt in the past, does not mean you get to be an asshole to every new person who comes along. I also think they were just a poor match.

I am glad the reunion is five months later. Makes a lot more sense.

[cleo29]

has anyone heard of the Netflix series Too Hot To Handle?

The experts really need to do a real job of matching people instead of going for drama. People will watch if they work out, I promise.

cleo29 I’ve never heard of it.

[litskispeciality]

I wish they did the MAFS reunion right after, I can't wait to see what happens!

Zach's smurk after getting asked if he did this just to be on TV was a clear yes that's the only reason he signed up. Brandon's part felt a little staged, like he either had to be there, or they paid him, but yeah he's a big part of the program too. Overall it was a little boring, I was playing on my phone a lot. I'm surprised Katie said yes, but apparently that didn't matter. I really want to search for spoilers about who in the cast might have hooked up, but I'll wait I guess, it's probably creative editing.

I'm glad - I didn't want my comment to seem insensitive or that it wasn't a big deal to have a procedure. It definitely is! She just loves attention because of medical stuff. It reminded me of her tooth stuff in earlier seasons.
