I was thinking that it was Alex's mom that was pregnant.
Oh that didn't occur to me. It's that yellow shirt she wears in the talking heads scenes that always made me think she was pregnant.
As for SW, I've been defending Meri for years in regards to her unresolved issues with infertility. I cannot imagine how much pain this put her through, and no one ever, ever making mention to it, her getting therapy with Kody for it, and I think they are both resentful.
Why don't the kids talk to Meri, because of the catfishing? Also, Robyn looks like she's in her late 40s, very old fashioned or something.
Yes! She dresses so dowdy and old! And her hair style does not help.
I did a deep dive on the Below Deck Sailing Yacht guests. Yes, they were demanding jerks at times, but apparently
TW: cancer
This was one of Birthday Dad’s (Tony’s) last family trips. He had throat cancer years ago and it’s back and terminal. I’d be pretty pissed at parts of that trip (especially the food) also. It made me look at the birthday party very differently.
Sister Wives - I didn't know the older kids don't talk to Meri. I too wonder why?
It is interesting how little mention there is of the older kids or what they're doing. Or even where they are?
Some of them. I think Maddie started LLR under Meri and it didn’t end well. There are some spelling errors but this kinda covers it and explains why they didn’t want Meri to have the lot with access to the retention pond

I looked him up last week when my husband commented about his chin area. So very sad to read. I don't like Natasha; she's too whiny in my opinion. Gary, ugh I am disgusted by him. Jean-luc is just too cute (not looks wise but personality wise).

I think Meri was dealing with infertility during that time, so I am sure that contributed to not wanting tons of little kids around her all the time. There was no safe place for her in her own home. None of the other women ever really address how painful that must have been for her nor show any empathy. Apparently, they have passed this mindset on to their kids. When you never address things or get help, the problems don't magically go away.

I agree. I think Maddie has the right to cut Meri out of her life if she wants because she obviously went through trauma with Meri. But I also think there were reasons why Meri was awful and kody and the other wives didn’t do anything to help that and that’s why it’s all such a mess currently.

Definitely. And no steps were taken then or now to explain or understand things she went through.
I do find it interesting that so much of this comes out now. In their earlier days on the show you do not see any of that. I don't know. I feel like the shit on Meri train has been going so long, I wonder how much is truly accurate and how much is being slightly fabricated.

Her hair is so distractingly bad. It ages her 10+ years.
I didn't finish MAFS last night, because I'm not sure I care about any of these couples. I am glad they finally sat them down individually to talk to them.

I agree. There’s a level of dysfunction in every relationship, even the “good” ones. I’m ready for the next season...

RHNJ
I was cracking up at Joe and Frank trying go get back at Melissa. They had me fooled, I was like oh shit he’s got a girl on the side. I would totally watch a Joe & Frank show.
RHNJ - Is just a gift that keeps on giving, they are bringing it this year. Out of all the housewives shows on year this, Jersey is winning it for me hands down. I don't know why I always cry when T or Joe talk about their parents. I can see their real grief and it's so sad. With each episode I dislike Marge more and more and found myself agreeing with Jackie last night, Marge is putting down Jen as a stay at home mother as if she does nothing and Marge obviously has no respect SAHM's, Jackie had it right when she said it's easier at times to go to work rather than stay at home with the kids. Marge is just nasty and goes out of her way to put Jen down every way she can and then is surprised when Jen gives it back to her. Just not cool Marge, not cool. I feel like last night we were introduced to Melissa and Joe's storyline for the season, last year it was the baby and the year before her long lost sister and so on and so forth. Come up with something else.
Also, I'm sad the season ended for Love after Lockup. That was some craziness.
OMG yes it was. But I swear these idiots never learn. Sean was already on to another chick. Sara even thinking for half a second Michael had changed. Kristiana's sister and her gross husband. Yuck.
Kary is such an asshole. I don’t know what it is lately about people slamming hunters but I have been seeing it a lot on Twitter and now RHOD. I have a lot of family who hunts. Could I do it? No. BUT no one that I know hunts for shits and giggles, they hunt for the food and eat every inch of it. Meanwhile, this asshole, is chomping on a hotdog and eating all the beef....these animals are treated far worse than any deer or turkey in the wild, but sure berate the Sasquatch hunter. Also SHE IS FISHING. Wtf.
Sasquatch dude reminded me of my FIL so it hit a little deep and I wanted to reach through the TV and punch her in the nose.
Hashtag over-invested.
I hope that if Kary doesn’t apologize to the guy that, at least, Stephanie will.
She is a bitch. She was only upset that she upset Stephanie, not that she treated that guy like total shit.

chchchia I think Jen and Marge are similar in their nastiness. However, I think Jen has no boundaries for what she says or who she hurts. It was super nasty that she threw Marge’s sleeping with her boss in her face and slut shamed her. In the age of the #metoo movement, it was just nasty and if she does that on camera you can bet she probably does it in private about other women that have accused men in power of the same thing.
I am a SAHM so I get the comments being hurtful but directed at Jen I don’t feel bad for her. She shouldn’t put out what she can’t take. How Jen feels about the way Marge talks to her husband is irrelevant. All marriages are different. And sorry I do not believe Jen doesn’t have similar moments with her husband.

MAFS- I wonder why Virginia cannot be alone. Even in my single days, I don't think I ever stayed over at my friend's house (granted, I do not drink), but she made the comment about it being outrageous to just be home alone for days.
I am not sure why Vincent is not getting the pregnancy thing, but I also feel like it is not being explained well. I almost think they should have an appointment together with an OB. To help both of them understand the risks she can face during pregnancy and that regardless of her age, with her HBP, she will most likely be considered high risk from the start.

OMG I was sobbing with the whole Nonno thing. I loved him, he was adorable and loved his wife so much. Having a mom who has passed and a very ill dad it hit me hard.
I disagree with Marge/Jen. Jen hit once again below the belt with the sleeping with the boss thing. While I disagree with Marge on the stay at home mom topic, it was far less insulting than a boss taking advantage of his employee, not even in same universe IMO. Seriously, Jen is so clueless on real world with her self righteous attitude, she needs to take a look in the mirror, and stay sober.

MAFS- I haven't seen this week yet, but curious to see if Vincent talks about biological kids vs. adoption. From the previews it seems like he's bio only, which I hate.
I'm glad Virginia is so open about mental health stuff. I really related when she had one of her breakdowns, esp right now with COVID. I don't want to give Eric a free pass that the military, esp "older" military shoves mental health under the rug. He's just a d!ck. He's had a perfect, white privilege's life. You'd think though being a pilot would come with some natural stress and anxiety. Anyway I think her being alone is probably part of her parents divorce and aftermath, maybe she has issues from that (abandonment?) Either way I don't think she's ready for marriage yet. Not that she has to give up partying, but even with a good husband she needs time to heal and figure out who she is.
And I've said many times, but stop matching couples where one spouse is gone a lot. That should have been asked during the vetting process, are you ok being alone? But even still until you live it you can't imagine how lonely it is. if they knew this clown is gone don't match him with someone with attachment issues.

He acted like he never knows what his schedule will be. My friend is a pilot for a major airline and she knows her schedule. She does have on-call days, but even then she knows when they are and what the cutoff time will be. So, the compromise that Dr. Pepper suggested, and that he agreed to, he then ignores at home with her. And, honestly, my H would not ask me to cancel plans I made just to hang out. For something really important? Sure, but not for a regular date night. He is such a controlling asshole.
And I am glad that Dr. Pepper called Chris a narc, which he is. He is such a rude, terrible person. Trying to blame THEM for things not working out which was all due to his own behavior and secrets. The gall!

It’s like they didn’t even think about who they were matching, just a shot in the dark or something. 🙄
And I don’t buy that Erik can’t schedule things. He’s not on call 24/7, come on now. And I’d be pissed if my DH was like cancel plans you made a week ago because me.

90 day is forever my favorite. always. Andrew is the biggest asshole, and I’m so glad the show exposed parts of his texts on screen. It showed how he is a lying liar. I wouldn’t have gotten on that plane either. I really hope he gets chewed up and spit out on the reunion.
SSW - the Snowden’s make no sense. They are trying way too hard. I think the family from CO with the Brazilian future sister wife is super sincere but I don’t know that they understand the reality.
I also don’t want them or the Snowden’s ending up on 90 day because of their international love interests.

Of course he can! Pilots get a schedule, just like other jobs. They do have days they are on call, but even that has a time limit for the window of opportunity. He was just being a controlling asshole and not, in any way, relaying what Dr. Pepper told him correctly.

The new Teen Mom is refreshing. They’re young, but they have half a brain and seem to love each other and their families. And I can’t imagine how painful pubis symphysis dysfunction must be.
