What’s this now? He seems shady but I really do not pay that much attention to him.
He calls himself a doctor, but he's a chiropractor. He may have a phD, not sure as try as I might, I've found nothing listing his educational credentials other than "trained in techniques", but he's not a medical dr. He treated one of the other housewives' sons in his house, a teen, by cracking his neck for vague ailments that sounded like a typical tired and/or depressed teenager or someone fighting a cold. I visibly winced during that scene.
I am generally very anti-chiropractor, and I'll admit I don't know if there's evidence of him actively scamming. It's more that I think the vast majority of the field is a scam with a lot of overlap into anti-vax, plus there is potential huge harm in twisting the neck, especially of someone not fully grown, that have resulted in severe paralysis. His website touts 96% success rate which, no, that isn't legit, and I don't care what you do or how you treat. Dr. Basilosaurus could tell you to drink water and rest every time you have a cold, and I'd have a better than 96% cure rate.
I had no idea about this until about five years when I had a severe herniation and was in extreme pain. I didn't know what I'd done or where to go so I literally looked for the chiro that required the shortest car ride because I could barely get into the seat for my husband to take me. What I ended up with was a crazy person who spent the majority of the appointment (which was totally out of pocket because he wouldn't take insurance - but I was desperate) complaining about flu shots, vaccinations and people's stress levels. He wanted me to come in for two adjustments a day and spend like $700 a month out of pocket. I never went back.

Teen Mom: So Mackenzie’s husband said he hits the kids with a belt like he experienced? Or at least he spanks them? So maybe their kids are acting out because one of them is physical and the other parent is not disciplining at all? Regardless, she needs help and she needs to face that what’s happening now isn’t working.
Amber is stupid, why are the producers placate her?
Also, Nova screams whenever Caitlyn leaves the room, why in the world would they think Nova would be ok in the delivery room??

Amber…how is she still here? Sits on a couch and talks to producers is her storyline.

Wow MAFS last night. Can't wait to discuss.
Going back to last's weeks episode, I'm glad that they had JOse meet with Dr. Pepper, and that she called him out. He gave her such a death stare like "I'm man I know better than little woman". Ugh he's awful. I also want to be an "expert" and visit the couples three times a season, but make more than I do in a year.

And they treat her with such kid gloves. Why?? Why not call her out when she's ragging on Gary or Kristina. They were all there, they know what really happened and how awful she's been to everyone.

It really irked me when Jennie said, "He should know better, he's a doctor".... (1) he should know better just from being a compassionate human being but (2) he doesn't know better because going to chiropractor school is NOT the same as medical school!
I completely believe there is a time and place for more holistic / chiropractic care. But it irks me to no end when these types of professionals try to pass themselves off as having the same training and experience as MDs and DOs. No.

It is all a grand delusion, including her going to Purdue.

I want to know how many are on the production team. The place that they stayed at sleeps 28 people! (I am in the Houston area! - and now I want to know where they got the burgers! LOLOL)
Did anyone watch RHBH P2 reunion?? Erika is so full of shit! The more she talks, the more guilty she looks. She constantly contradicts herself and is caught in lies. And why do all the ladies tiptoe around her? Such bullshit. And is she drunk?

I think I am an episode behind, but I’m so mad at her for writing a book and coming out without thinking about the impact it will have on her family. I really don’t see her reconciling with Leah ever.

I may have totally misheard that whole part because I only sort of half watch when it's them but I thought he was tlaking about what he grew up with I didn't hear him say he does that to his kids? WTF - that's messed up. I feel so bad for Mackenzie because I think she's really wanting to learn how to parent better and I think takes too much to heart and feels guilt immensly. I have been impressed with how she's reached out for help and I hope she gets what she's hoping for.
Uggg, the Amber parts are ridiculous. As PP said it's just her sitting on the couch all the time.
I chuckled at the little Daddy test and was actually kind of impressed at the creativity!

Okay I watched the whole episode and just WOW. I am still shaking my head at the whole Zach and Mikayla (sp) situation. I am sorry, she was really way out of line and just over the top. I can see why, if she's that way, he would not want a relationship with her.
I really hope that Brett and Ryan can work it out and make it. And I don't have hope for Bao and Johnny at all. I think that Myrla and Gil might actually make it; they seem to be moving towards more intimacy and closeness.

texasharleygirl, I think Johnny is a narcissist and a sociopath. Does he follow his own stories and thoughts?
I want to have hope for Brett and Ryan, but I think Brett can do better. Obviously by the preview for next week, but it seems obvious there's something he's hiding besides he just doesn't like her. This season is really a train reck minus Gil and Myrla. I'm not a huge muscle guy, but he's grown on me.

I have not watched yet, but from the previews it did seem...overblown, in terms of a reaction. Also, i think she is wishy washy about things.
texasharleygirl , I think Johnny is a narcissist and a sociopath. Does he follow his own stories and thoughts?

I have not watched, but Johnny drives me crazy. He wants all these things, but he is not willing to do it himself. Also, I totally think he has someone else, he took waaaaaaay too long to answer that question last episode. he is such a prick and I understand perfectly why he was still single.

I think that was just editing.
I do think Johnny is a narcissist.
I don’t think Brett and Ryan are gonna make it. And I am still baffled at why someone would pair a Trump supporter with a democrat/leftist/progressive (not sure how far left she is). This would’ve been a deal breaker from day one for many of us.
Jalapenomel, Brett also hates guns, and he loves hunting. She could be more outgoing, but not at a flipping shooting range if she hates guns.
I'm mad at pastor cal for recommended the level 1 stuff with Bao and Johnny. Tell her to run.
Yes!! Both Johnny and Ryan want demure, submissive wives who just do whatever they say and will stay at home and raise babies.
I know I've said this for the last couple of seasons, but there is no reason to pair people up for drama. We'd still watch the show, you probably don't need to make the episodes two hours, but you don't need two hour episodes now!

like Virginia and that douche whose name I've already forgotten from last season? I can handle political differences. I cannot handle differences in who I view as deserving basic humanity. If you support trump you are in no way welcome in my life even if you're my relative.

I’m catching up on VPR, and I wish they’d get rid of Lala. She brings everyone down, and it’s nice not having all the assholes around this season. Also, James is a douchebag, but his proposal to Raquel was sweet.

I have realized that when she starts insisting that she doesn’t lie, she always talks really fast and speaks in short, overly emphasized syllables. It’s her tell that she is lying. It’s almost as if she talks really fast in hopes that nobody will catch the lies. And yes, it really does make her sound drunk.

Great Kiwi bake off is back! It's been 2 years since the last season. And it's not filmed in a tent, so the manufactured drama of asking someone to make an ice cream cake when it's 40* is non-existent.
