Top chef. I love that Portland and now Milwaukee have been honoring native cuisine. The Canadian version is good at this, too.
I was taken slightly by surprise about the question if anyone had eaten at an indigenous restaurant. I used to live in walking distance of a place with Navajo fry bread. I brought so many friends there. But of all the locations I've lived in murca, that's the only place I can think of. It's a very fair question.
Can you imagine Italian cuisine without tomatoes? Those came from the Americas.
Also, I learned cranberries weren't a northeeastern thing. My two visits to the oceanspray (forced) lied to me.
I loved last week's show! I even teared up during it b/c Native American culture is close to me.
I said to my H that I thought cranberries were from the Northeast!
sidenote - Do you know the book Braiding Sweetgrass?

was that a young adult book? I remember reading a book with sweet grass in the title when I was a ten that my gramma brought back after a trip to Canada. It did make an impact but I'm not sure the exact name
Not a ya novel, ha!
No, it’s about Native American culture and how plants and other things teach us lessons.

well now I'm going to have to add that to my list and also figure out the book in thinking of. It might have just been called sweet grass.
A thread about reality tv and we're talking about books. And I'm thinking about my trip to the ethnobotany museum in a couple weeks.
Just because we watch trash doesn't make us uneducated or uncultured
I'm getting caught up on VPR and The Valley today, but me and H were watching Hacks the other night and Zack is an extra in the latest episode. He's laughing in the awards show audience and I immediately recognized that hairline! lol

Top Chef, I've had favorites from early, mid, and late season depending on performance and the current field, and all but one is gone. They weren't a favorite although never disliked so much as out of the narrow crowd the one I most want to win now. It makes it hard to care. This happens often when watching reality tv, so it's not like I'm upset about it. I'll watch the final episodes, but, meh.
BD I'll miss Kerry (and his reddit gifs!) and dread the return of Sandy. Med I've taken to watching only when my queue is minimal.
The Valley- OMG, the men's conversation about how women just expect so much these days pissed me off. Like, they expect you to parent your OWN CHILD? The nerve. The way Jesse talks to women is so gross. Jax hates Britney. Hates! I read they're still doing their podcast together, so weird. Does anyone listen?
VPR- I hate Lala more and more. She is terrible. I read that Jason from The Valley hooked up with Scheana first, then dated Janet later. So weird! They all really just screw each other, don't they, lol.

I hate lala as well. Used to love her, now her jealousy is out standing right next to her hypocrisy.she is so jealous of Ariana she can't contain it. Someone needs to knock her down a few pegs!
I just don't know if I have it in me to watch RHONJ. I haven't given up any franchise yet, but I feel like it's just all hate and animosity in that group. I'm also so sick of Teresa.

I’m gonna be so mad if they let Lala and Scheana cross over. They’ll ruin the show.
Also, I can’t remember the woman’s name who won Miss America, but having one child and then 9/10+ months later having twins? I think that would be so freaking hard, and I (whether fair or not) judge men really harshly who KU women who had babies 6 weeks ago. No

Not much of a difference in the grand scheme of things but I believe Nia & Danny's twins are 14-15 months younger than their toddler. They are 6 weeks during filming and the older one is 17-18 months.
I feel so bad for them- they are really in survival mode and hopefully they come through it okay.

Also, if my DH yelled at me like Jax did in front of friends, no fucking way would my friends just let him do that. My friends would be all, “sit down and STFU JalapenoDude. You’re outta line.” And then shame him for being a dick to his wife.
But then again, this would never happen because no one in my friend group would stand for that behavior of anyone, spouse or not. These people are repugnant.

Listen, I’m glad Jesse doesn’t have cancer, as I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, but since he’s a Trump supporter, it pisses me off that he has the privilege of having treatment available to him and doesn’t give a shit if others don’t.
I’ll be so glad they are finally at the end so we can see the ending of Lindsey and Carl forever.

Jax* hints to Danny not coming out so great at some point this season. Someone on IG commented that Danny was such a great husband and dad and Jax commented "this isn't going to age well." Danny has been saying things all season that are a little red flag-y to me. As Bravo men go, he seems alright but he's been on my radar! *yes, I do get that Jax of all people said that, so who knows!

I did see that a few weeks ago but, like you said, it's Jax. Who said Brittany had a stroke when she didn't and is purposely throwing his wife under the bus this season. I think it's chapping his ass that Danny is coming across so well this session.
I *hate* that I agree with Jax re: VPR cast coming over. This show works because it's fresh drama with a newer group.

Yeah, I also thought he might be stirring up shit for the audience with that comment. This is "his" and Kristin's show. They must be thrilled with the success.
I will be PISSED if VPR people come over and fuck it up!

RHNJ- Whose been watching?
I really do not care about anything family related to Teresa’s family. Why Gia needs to be a part of it is beyond me. Also, Teresa can’t scream ‘NOT MY KIDS’ when Gia face is always in the mix. Also her boyfriend is working for Luis….yikes.
Jackie being friends with Adyn and Teresa is so pathetic. I thought she was smart.
I am not liking Jennifer Fessler. Yes she can be friends with whomever she wants, obviously, but the fact that can’t seemingly see Fuda’s and Margaret side shows her lack of loyality. And we all know Teresa would not be okay with the cross over friendship (she has proven that time and time again) so I am not sure why Fuda and Margaret and getting shit for it too.
The third part of the reunion is wild! Fuck you, Lala.
So it does live up to the hype??
Definitely worth slogging through the first two parts for me, especially the very end when we see Lala in her truest form.
The Valley was okay ish, but next week is the season finale and that looks action packed. The VPR aftershow was all about the Valley somehow, they didn't discuss the reunion.

I wish they would call out Lala about her hypocrisy, gaslighting, and bullshit. She spent many seasons as a mistress where NO ONE COULD TALK ABOUT IT.
No idea why they’re all scared of her save for Katie. Her insufferable superiority has been taken a new level.
The third part of the reunion is wild! Fuck you, Lala.
I just watched it.
The audacity of Lala.
Lala and Scheana both just bought expensive homes and are enrolling their daughters in an expensive private school. I hope they have invested well because the future isn’t looking bright for them.

They’re really hoping for a crossover to the Valley, but since the audience has turned on them, I don't know how likely that will be.
The third part of the reunion is wild! Fuck you, Lala.
Right?
She is a fucking hypocrite.
I do not understand why no one told her to f off. They just let her stand on her soapbox talking down to all of them. WHY?
And if she mentioned that she was pregnant and bringing a life into this world 1 more time i would have thrown something at the TV. She acts like she is the only person in life to have a baby.
She is so pissed that Ariana got so much attention its killing her.

YYYEESSSS to all of this. I am so over her using this pregnancy like it’s a Get out of Jail Free card for the bitchiness and petty behaviors. her using that phrase ‘I’m bringing life into the world’ set me off. being pregnant doesnt make you better than anyone else on the show. The jealousy is showing so hard!
