discuss amongst ya-selves……..

:: CATCHING KELCE ::

There is a new “Bachelor”-esque reality show that premiered last night on E!
A famous football player for the Kansas City Chief’s will date 50 women from 50 states and narrow it down to one.

Over the summer he was on my-boyfriend-andy-cohen’s show WWHL discussing the show, and I meant to discuss it then but completely forgot until I saw commercials airing for it. It seemed from his interview like it was going to get down and dirty on this show. None of the PC stuff that goes on over at ABC.
I’m watching it right now as I type this and this is going to be interesting.
There is no shame in this guys game – and same goes for these ladies.
Night One they are at Roosevelt Hotel partying with shots with a bunch of professional athletes.
I have a feeling it’s going to be a cover hands over eyes and jaw on the floor show and in the best way possible.

{I was wondering how this was going to get narrowed down, but he cuts 30 girls right off the bat after a 60 second intro}
Set your DVR ladies.
Warning : He’s seems like a total bro. Hot, but a total bro. But so far he’s super funny too. I like him. Probably a man whore, but I think he’s sarcastic as heck and you know I love that.
UPDATE AS I’VE SEEN ALL OF EPISODE ONE:
Y’all. This show is SO GOOD. It is just ALL laid out there.
Finding Prince Charming and Catching Kelce are giving The Bachelor a serious run for it’s money.

:: BACHELOR ::
spoiler (NOT REALLY) alert : we know one of the first group dates for Nick’s season of the Bachelor is a trip to a Backstreet Boys concert.

I wonder what other ways the producers will humiliate the ladies other than dancing as back up dancers on stage (no doubt the one that admits they “can’t dance” will be selected for this date, right after they show the one-on-one date of the girl who is afraid of heights bungee jumping off of a bridge :D)

:: REAL HOUSEWIVES NEW JERSEY ::

Jacqueline is really taking the crazy-cake this season.

I have a hard time believing that all of this is her…. I feel part of her being this argumentative and looney is to get air time and keep herself as part of the cast when Theresa isn’t wanting a friendship with her.

I really love the new girls Dolores and Siggy; especially Siggy.

Theresa sits at dinner saying “I’m fragile, I’m fragile too” and they just shut her down. “No. No you aren’t. No.”
I hope they aren’t too nice and non-confrontational and get the ax…. this cast out of all of them needs some people to diffuse the situations or else we’ll have another table flipping situation on our hands.

:: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OC ::
do we think Vicki has something on Shannon?
or is she making this up?
And if she does have something, what could it possibly be?

All of me would think that Vicki is full of BS, HOWEEVVERRRR it was very strange that Shannon then was all nice and chummy at Heather’s Book Party. Their last interaction prior to this was quite tense, at the Candle Store Party, and she hadn’t been friendly at all with Vicki even before they had this recent argument.
SO why be so nice after it?

and of course Vicki runs her mouth about it to Kelly Freaking Dodd.
ughhhhhh.
and Kelly promptly tells both Heather and Tamra that Vicki has dirt on her.
It never ceases to amaze me that Kelly’s mouth really IS as big as her actual mouth.
Kelly Dodd is running her mouth at the “Plastic Surgery Whatever The Book That No One Will Read Party is Called”.
editors note : I am not opposed to reading anything. Much like my TV taste, my standards for books can be quite low – I like a good celebrity book as much as the next Bravo-whore. However, why would I read a book about being a guinea pig for cosmetic treatments? It just seems pointless? And aren’t there probably zillions of things on the internet that already exist with opinions about what does and doesn’t work?
but I digress…..

So Kelly Dodd keeps running her mouth about her marriage and Michael at the Dubrow’s Book Party. Week after week this just keeps snowballing and I am scared for what’s to come.

Also, for DrinksMcGee Kelly to be calling Michael a Drunk I feel like that is really saying something. Michael is for sure drunk at this party, and the way he’s talking to the women at the party is so painful. But the way Kelly is squawking after him is awful too.

Somehow the whole evening ends in them around a dry ice ice-cream bowl saying they’re going to Ireland next week because Meghan King Edmonds and her absent-husband found out they have Irish blood. Because that makes sense???

:: BELOW DECK ::

I am just LOVING IT SO MUCH.
But already #IMissTrevor the way that I felt with #IMissChad for Bachelorette + Bachelor in Paradise.
it’s hard watching the trainwrecks go….. brings a little tear to my eye.
and in case you missed the smoking hot charter guests this week,
allow me to share this eye candy with you :

BUT…. wait for it…. his friend didn’t want to be left out :

I meannnnnn.
It was hilarious and horrifying.
….. and then there’s a big love triangle between everyone which is just great.
Lauren loves Nico who loves Emily who is also loved by Kelley (who is a boy) but Nico tries to kiss Sierra and for once everyone is getting along with Kate.
And then Trevor’s replacement comes from England and no one can understand a word he is speaking, including Ben who is British.

:: TORI SPELLING ::

I meannnnnnnnnnn.
Tori is expecting her fifth child.
With her philandering husband.
and her last pregnancy almost killed her.

WHY Tori WHY??????

I’ve always really liked her…. I feel for her…. I just…. I don’t even know with her.

And goodness gracious we just KNOW this is going to be another reality show.

I can see the Today Show and E! interview circuit starting already…….

and every magazine they can get their hands on…..

:: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MELBOURNE REUNION ::
The outfits for these ladies are really giving Kathryn Calhoun and Carole a run for their money.
Lydia especially.

Although for Pettifleur this was actually demure.

I was cackling laughing before the introductions even started.
Pettifleur was asking if you could see a panty line the way she was sitting and
Janet imitates Pettifleur with her voice and says “Who begs to differ… why would you need spanx if you’re in the best shape of your life?”

It. Was. Hilarious.

:: LUANN ::
LuAnn “I’m getting married” de Lesseps is, you guessed it, getting married!

I wasn’t sure if you knew that, so I wanted to clarify before continuing.
LuAnn is GETTING MARRIED.
I saw this photo on a sidebar on RealityTea but can’t find an article for it when I click on it….

….. looks like she’s having a Bachelorette party with no Housewives in sight.
Something tells me she’ll have multiple Bachelorette parties and as many parties for the engagement and wedding as possible.
….I just wonder what she will be thinking about Tom and a Bachelor party?
I’m sure he’ll be SUPER well behaved. Such a gentleman that Tom is.

:: MAZEL ::

to Kris Kardashian for finding a way to divert the media attention away from everything going on in the world directly back on to her family…

… I tell ya…. that Kris knows no bounds…..
it’s like no one even remembers that Brad and Angelina are going through a seriously messy mud-singling divorce.

Ohhhh I jest.
Gunpoint robberies are nothing to joke about and I know it was serious so SIMMA DOWN now.

… but really… only the Kardashians …..

I write these posts late at night while simultaneously watching Bravo, taking snapchats of my snoring husband, and making to do lists of everything I was supposed to do and didn’t do that day and likely won’t do the next day either. or the day after that.

:: RHOC ::

We saw the nicest side of Jim Edmonds yet… mostly because he just SHOWED UP to one of her doctors appointments. You know, he doesn’t need to be there for the IVF appointment that creates the birth of his child or any previously, but I guess he can make it to this one. Finally Meghan catches Jim on a good day and her husband consoles her when they find out it’s only one baby that she is carrying not two.
Only took you two and half seasons to say something nice, Jim – well done.
But then they start going on about this candle store and I’m back to them annoying the heck out of me.

We’ve had lots of clues leading up to Kelly Dodd and her husband – but almost ex husband’s – marital woes, and tonight we begin the dive head first.

This conversation between kelly dodd and her mom in the driveway is almost as ridiculous as the #CoolMom hat kelly is wearing…. which is either a gift from #GoalDigger Tamra or they both have horrifying taste and senses of humor.

Remember when Meghan King Edmonds was the queen of headwear?
Apparently she started the hashtag headwear trend too….. as evidenced below.

and WOW.
googling the OC Housewives with Hashtag Trucker hats has brought up even more…..

Vicki and the Kill All Cancer campaign she has come up with is just awful. Does this not seem inappropriate to her at all? Watching her try to explain the previous incident with Brooks and why she may not be the best spokesperson, and then watching that man just stare and blink is nuts. How could they REALLY know nothing about this? And if not, how could they seriously say with a straight face she has great commercial appeal for a cancer charity!!!??? WHAT?!

Vicki thinks “how can anyone hate her when she is raising money for cancer charities?”
So now everyone will of course love her!

Um, that doesnt make people forget what you did or make them want to bring you a casserole.

Also, and perhaps most importantly, it’s all tied up with her selling insurance, so, in the end it’s all about her and her insurance company and making money.
This woman is sick in the head.
And watching her son Michael next to her and his facial expressions is painful – he knows this is just as crazy as the rest of us. But I feel for him, because unlike Bryanna, I think Michael sees his mom the way many do as straight up delusional and he’s a little afraid of her.

I’m so ready for Shannon to move out of her house because her lack of organization and packing abilities are giving me insane anxiety. I understand that you don’t want strangers packing your things or touching your things because you have OCD. However, if that is the case you need to use that crazy ass type A personality to PACK THINGS SHANNON!
You keep remind us your house is over 13,000 square feet and I see your twins walking around taking things into cabinets and I swear I AM going to lose it.
Where’s DAVID DAVID DAVID (in shannons voice) to hire packers and get this under control?!

We knew she had special hospital grade air and things built into her home, but now she’s naming TONS of these things that her house has like no Wifi and I’m wondering what else there is that she hasn’t named. How is this woman ever going to move into another house when we know she’s buried crystals throughout this one and has had it feng-shued to within an inch of its life.

OH. Well. Then we see Shannon’s rental house. Oh em gee. I’m sorry, but props to Shannon. She must be wiling to just really go with the flow and keep the family happy …. or she is so desperate to leave the house with the Affair memories she just doesn’t care. No, that house is not awful, the view is amazing, and it looks huge. But sorry – if you compare it to what she is moving from – Ummmmm.
Also, THAT KITCHEN? WHAT?

THEN we learn that David’s family was hoping he would pick the Affair over Shannon and that his mom and sister were friends and hung out with Affair-Lady
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME?
…. I mean. No words. WOW.

Back to Kelly and her marital woes with the ladies…. which Heather and Vicki overheard from two massage rooms over. Oh Kelly and her big mouth. Literally.
Tamra says the only thing worst than staying with a narcissist is divorcing one.

What? How does this help?

Kelly, taking marriage advice from Vicki and Tamra is prooooooobably not the best place to be seeking out some wisdom. But I don’t think either of them ever called their ex husbands Hitler, so I guess anything is a step up in terms of who to turn to.
I guess that’s the silver living for all of the viewers to take to heart: Even if you are having trouble with your spouse, cheers to you, you probably don’t think they resemble Hitler.

PREVIEWS FOR FUTURE EPISODES !!??!!

WHAT!? It’s going to get nuts.

Please don’t bring Kelly back next season. PLEASE I beg you my-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen. They are all toxic, but she takes the cake.

:: Below Deck ::

This season is just AMAZING.
Every single episode with Trevor gets better and better.

And every time he mentions being a hair model whilst his eyes cross in 87 different directions, my heart does a little pitter patter.

:: RHofMelbourne ::

I am so sad this season is over.
But at least I don’t have to listen to Lydia and Pettifleur anymore.
I really wish both of them wouldn’t return next season, but I’m sure they will.
And Gamble for the win this season – not a moment of real drama with her, nothing but love and kindness. Who would have thought!?

:: RYAN’S WEDDING ::
I haven’t seen this week’s episode of Million Dollar NY: Ryan’s Wedding, but based on the first one, I am confused.
They were always happy and she was always calm and rational whenever they had showed them before. SO either this is what is really is, or Bravo is making them turn it up 5 notches to have tons of drama for the show. Either way, even though I bet it’s fake drama, I am not digging it. At all.

She really does have such a bod and killer hair though, and he’s super cute, so for those shallow reasons (combined with lack of self control to choose not to watch anything on Bravo) you know I’ll continue to tune in 😀

:: JAMES CORDEN ::

I just love anything that James Corden does, so this cute short video of racing the fastest man in the world with the whole office was great. More for the commentary beforehand than the actual race.

see video here

Also, did you see Kate Hudson singing with Jimmy Fallon??

I love her – I just think she’s the cutest thing ever.

:: ramona’s new face ::
WHAT DID SHE DO?!?!?

why are these people always, ALWAYS messing with their faces???
I guess this was her “my divorce is finalized” celebration…..

::::::: FRIDAY THINGS ::::::::

So sorry for my sporadic posting this week!!
Things with my car breaking down and family friends in town and deliveries at the new house got the best of me!

I’ll have some house updates for you next week – I think by the end of the weekend it’s going to look great (well…. as good as it’s going to look at the beginning while we figure out projects and new furniture and such!)

In an attempt to break out of my routine, and since it has finally been a bit cooler this week,
I pulled out some fall booties and topped my outfit with the black felt hat from my POPSUGAR Must Have Box that they sent me to try !

HAT from POPSUGAR Must Have Box // CRISS-CROSS TOP // BOOTIES (sold out, SIMILAR and MY OTHER FAVORITES)

We have a low-key weekend at home planned, getting everything organized and unpacking boxes!
I’ll be back full time next week! Hope you have a great weekend!

discuss amongst ya-selves……..

Is it just me or was there not that much TV this week?

It must just be because Bachelor is off and New York Housewives are no longer on. Oh well.

:: Real Housewives OC ::

I can’t believe this episode…. not only because of the insanely awful person that is Shannon’s Mother-In-Law, but because I can’t believe the insanely awful song “Dreamcatcher” needed a full live performance and now will not leave my brain. AT. ALL.

Their “instructor” or whatever you want to call him was dressed like Jonny Depp in one of those weird Tim Burton movies.

So Shannon + David’s kids are performing their own song that they wrote for the first time at some bar and all of OC needs to be there.

Little does Shannon know, David’s mother and sister show up. We learn at this point that there is not a good relationship between Shannon and David’s family and that David’s family has never liked her.

Before you can even think in your head “I wonder if there’s truth to this or if Shannon is exaggerating” or anything else, David’s Mom Donna walks in and starts stirring that pot like she’s an OG Housewife.

She goes straight up to the first female with a microphone on her and gets right to it.

To Kelly: “I’m Donna, David’s Mom. What’s your name?”

— Kelly.

without even a second delay:

“Kelly, I don’t get to see the kids …. Shannon keeps me from them. She hates me.”
and says all of it in this dramatically affected tone.

Then walks up to Tamra and introduces herself to her.

.5 seconds later…..

“Tamra…. let me talk some sheyite to you too…. David made one mistake. One. And she drove him to it.”

LADY IS THIS FOR REAL???? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???

Who is this horrible person? (Whoooooo in Kelly voice)

I am shocked that someone would walk into an event for her grandchildren and immediately start doing something like this.

Kelly Dodd continues to be AWFUL by sitting there trying to tell Shannon how sad Donna is about missing out on the kids life. KELLY. Focus on your own family issues – seriously. We already know, and we will see more of it next week, that your marital problems take the cake. She sits there with her giant mouth hanging open repeating “No Shannon…. she was, like, crying. She is, like, really sad.”

Now, does Shannon handle this well? Does she decide to deal with it later, privately? Hell to the no. And unfortunately for her, but fortunately for us, that is why she is a housewife ladies ~~and gentlemen.~~ She lets every emotion out immediately in high pitched DAVID DAVID DAVID screams like we know and love.

I know she isn’t yelling at David, she is just expressing her emotions loudly and telling him what happened, but for those not privy to the prior conversation it really would seem like she was flipping the freak out on David.

She runs to the ladies room, and returns shortly after as if nothing has happened.

Like, “Oh, excuse me for that.”

So awkward.

OH WAIT. I spoke too soon – we haven’t seen the awkward part yet!

David and Shannon now get in the limo, with their girl band daughters in tow, and decide to DISCUSS WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Why, seriously and truly WHY do they discuss all of these things in front of their kids? It is horrible.

editors note: Later that night, on my-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen’s WWHL, they show a preview clip of next week with Kelly talking about her marital problems and things about her husband. Shannon comments negatively that Kelly’s daughter will see this because it will air on the show and then she’ll know things about her dad and their relationship.

Shannon?!

POT MEET KETTLE?????

You do this CONSTANTLY. and IN FRONT of your kids.

They don’t even have to wait to see it on TV!

but I digress…….

Let’s see….. what else happened this episode?

oh, there was a boring and awkward make-up session (aka huge waste of air time).

Vicki had a birthday lunch with Brianna and talked about herself and needing a man and how she better have one by Christmas and how is it so hard because she is SO low maintenance. The original OG is straight up delusional.

Watching her try to sit down in the chair while being careful about her neck injury would have been hilarious (it was – she had just hugged everyone and bent her neck perfectly fine) but we are all somehow on team “be nice to vicki” so I can’t say it was funny, which does prove that this woman is smart as hell because she knew exactly how to find the ONE THING that could turn this cancer-gate around and make OTHER people seem like the bad ones.

HOW DID THIS JUST HAPPEN?????

ALSO, Shannon. Girl. My condo in Chicago took a week to pack up solo…. I do not comprehend how you are acting like you can do this by yourself by walking around staring at what needs to be done, writing a list, and worrying about your oxygen purifier in your rental home. START PACKING. And if you aren’t going to use a company (I would have killed to have been able to do that moneybags!) then by all means, don’t waste time inviting people to stand in your closet and be mean to you about your wardrobe. That is precious bubble wrapping time!! Dr. Moon and these self induced colonics are making you crazy!

:: This Is Us ::

My mom made me watch the season premiere of This Is Us. In all honesty, I probably wouldn’t have because the commercials didn’t seem like anything great.

Y’all. Watch the first episode. It was SO good. Watch the entire thing and you’ll probably be hooked.

It seems like it is going to be the new Parenthood (but totally different….. but still….)

SO GOOD.

Hashtag thanks mom for continuing to enable your daughters unhealthy television addiction. Episode of Intervention TBD.

:: brad and angelina ::

Sorry I’m not sorry, but I agree with every meme and gif out there about being sorry not sorry regarding this break up.

If he did cheat with Marion, too bad so sad , Angelina should know the way you get him is the way you lose him. (I’m sure there is zero truth to this though and feel bad Marion is being dragged into it!)

Even if he wasn’t cheating, my guess is there is a very very small percentage feeling sorry for you.

I guarantee Jennifer Aniston could not care less, but still, the world rallying behind her having the last laugh is simply wonderful.

lame editors note: I feel like this was the first big news story when tabloid fodder became a big thing.

I honestly feel like this divorce and then the immediate coupling of Brangelina was the first big celebrity “thing”. I remember so clearly being in my freshman dorm room when hearing about the divorce and seeing the beach stroll photos, and I feel like nothing was publicized ever before like this (and you know I’ve been all over this celeb gossip schtick since the day I was born).

Updates: Chelsea Handler has some choice words for Angelina.

Marion Cotilliard just announced her pregnancy
Update right before hitting Publish: Brad investigated for Child Abuse???

:: Big Brother ::

finale spoiler alert :

I’m so upset.

How could he have been so dumb to bring her to the final 2?

What was he thinking!!??

It was Paul’s to win. Hands down. Why didn’t he bring James?

And Nicole did NOTHING all season and WINS?!

AHHHHH.

at least Paul got 50K?

and at least Victor got Fan Favorite and some money because my goodness he deserved to win the whole thing more than anyone after three comebacks.

I am off to continue unpacking, with no TV shows to marathon in the background like I could in Chicago because we have no TV Cable or Internet.

discuss amongst ya-selves……

:: RHOC ::

The drama from the accident in Glamis (drink!) continues.

For those just tuning in, after an ATV accident, Vicki was air-lifted to a hospital near Palm Springs by herself, and it was about 45 minutes from where Meghan King Edmonds home is located {with Shannon arriving at Meghan’s that day} .

SO. The ladies were very angry, Heather in particular (SHOCKER) when Meghan didn’t hear the news and go to be by Vicki’s side.

Should Meghan have gone? Yes. But whatever.

What was more strange was that when Shannon and David arrived, they go golf, they are already on the green playing, and only THEN does Meghan King Edmonds tell Shannon about the accident.

That was straight up weird. How can that not be the very first thing that comes out of your mouth when Shannon gets to your house???

It is very very strange that she waited; THAT makes me think that she wasn’t going to see Vicki no matter how bad it was, not that she didn’t realize the extent of how bad it was.

So….. we tune back in to Heather and Kelly Dodds at camp – just drinking Veuve and hanging out.

They call Shannon and the same thing happens – they are waiting for them to volunteer to go to see Vicki and no one is offering to go.

Meghan King Edmonds then informs Heather that “Mapquest says you are only 2 hours 6 minutes away.” Heather has already informed them that they are 45 minutes!

At some point during this Tamra makes it back to camp in her #ClassyAF bedazzled trucker hat.

So. Yep…..

Alright – ANYWAYS.

Here’s what I’m thinking….. separate from the fact that Meghan or Shannon should have gone and checked on Vicki and all that…. so what if you are two hours away? You are just sitting here spending the rest of the day drinking? {well… Heather is probably only drinking some, but we KNOW that Kelly Dodd is drinking from the moment they get back to camp}

You aren’t going back on the ATV? You aren’t doing anything?

You’re sitting there drinking and its only a 2 hour drive?

If you really thought she was in a condition for someone to be with her, you could have gone.

Sure, Heather’s son is there and she can’t leave him. But Kelly, your daughter can hang out with your husband for a couple of hours and YOU (to be said in the whooooo owl voice from Mrs. Roper’s party) – who is feeling completely fine with no complaints about anything – can’t go see Vicki??? And aren’t YOU (whoooo) the only one here who is Vicki’s little side-kick this season? Having to do dinners alone while the rest of the girls participate in activities that Vicki isn’t invited to?

YOU (whoooo) should have gone to the freaking hospital!

And I thought you’d love some time away from your awful husband!

But whatever, keep drinking away and bitching about others, it’s what you’re best at!

editors note: OK, time out.

When I was googling for a Kelly Dodd drinking gif from this episode, I came across this article from Radar Online. It talks about when her and her husband were divorcing and how she had to complete 10 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as part of it? This adds a whole new layer to her getting drunk basically every single scene so far……

but I digress……

Back in the OC, Meghan goes over to see Vicki, and she did need to apologize, and she did.

Vicki is FOR SURE milking this and exagerrating big, big time; her daughter said it on the show and Tamra said it on WWHL after the show aired.

Oh, and of course we gotta go back to making it ALL about Heather.

She is seriously so self-righteous it’s insane. No one has called to check on Heather!! No is asking how Heather is sleeping at night!!!! No one is considering Heather’s PTSD!!!

Seriously Heather?

Then she goes to lunch with Meghan (oh, but she’s not eating! she already ate! obviously! she’s hear to set some things straight not stare at iceberg lettuce!) and sits acting like her mother waiting to reprimand her and demand her apologies. My face would be exactly like what Meghan King Edmond’s was.

Meghan takes the high rode this times and sucks up to Heather and says all the right things. Someone must have gotten in her ear about how this whole Vicki situation is going to make her look. Note to Meghan King Edmonds: Just do that next time! Earn some brownie points!

I do hate to see Heather get the satisfaction out of reprimanding someone and them immediately saying exactly what she wants to hear and them holding her hand. Damn!

ps. I think more inappropriate than Meghan King Edmonds not going to see Vicki in the hospital is her lifting up her shirt to reveal her 000 waist and 6 pack and say “Look!! I have a baby bump!!”

{silence and eye rolling up in here….. and again, shannon’s comments with “then I’m carrying a 6 month old” is just TOP. NOTCH.}

:: Project Runway ::

New season starts TONIGHT!!!!

I’m sad that summer is ending,

but I am loving that September means new seasons of shows!

Speaking of Project Runway…..

Tim Gunn’s comments on Kanye West’s fashion line are just amazing.

A particular highlight is :

“I think the only thing dumber than these clothes would be the people who would buy these clothes.”

Preach Tim Gunn PAH-REACH!

The article linked above also has some fun insight into Tim Gunn being banned by Anna Wintour from The Met Ball which I never knew about….. worth the read!

just a good gif that needed to be used…..

:: RH of Melbourne ::

I really do heart Melbourne. Chyka is just to die for. Janet too.

I’m also really loving Gamble this season – and everything with her wedding was actually so sweet and her husband seems so, so nice. I’m pretty much loving all of them except for one in particular.

There’s so much to say but all of it really boils down to one thing :

Pettifleur is just unbelievable.

I can’t.

Each episode it gets worse, and worse, and worse.

OH, and Lydia too. How could I forget Lydia. I really just can’t with her either. At all.

and its not even all of the horrifyingly dumb things she says, like the above gif for example, OR the horrifyingly rude things she does, like everything she is doing on this entire trip to Dubai. What bothers me most is her thinking that she’s funny and saying things that make no sense and aren’t funny in the slightest bit, and then doing the entitled ha-ha smirk at herself in her commentary.

ughhhh.

But otherwise…. you know me….. no opinions

But yeah…. other than those two, love ’em all. Even Gin-er is doing it for me this season…. that’s how bad Pettifleur is – it makes anything anyone else does pale in comparison.

:: Finding Prince Charming ::

Logo Thursdays at 10

OR – watch the full episode here and thank me later 🙂

Y’all. This. Show. Is. Ah-mazing.

And Lance Bass being the host is just the icing on the cake.

There are 15 guys vying after this very attractive Atlanta based interior designer.

I mean, look at him! Clearly they are all going to go nuts for him. And of course he is gay because God forbid straight men ever look like that for us ladies, am I right?! preach.

The first night he pretends to be one of the rest of the contestants so that he can see peoples true colors. That alone is just amazing and would be SO nice if it could happen on the Bach/Bachelorette…. which obviously it can’t but still.

Robby is absolutely the star of the show so far – he is hilarious and I literally can’t get enough of him.

Based on the group of men as a whole, I don’t think Robby is his type, but I’m praying that he keeps him {or the producers keep him} around long enough that we get more time watching him.

My-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen had Lance on WWHL and was commenting about how a whole lot of action must have been going down in the house without a doubt. I just love how this is a whole other aspect that we don’t get with Bachelor/Bachelorette – that the contestants can fall for each other in the house!

It’s like Bachelor in Paradise on steroids!!

My mom and I were wondering when it first started what they were going to do instead of “will you accept this rose” and her guess was “will you accept this condom” which I thought was genius and put me into hysterics, but alas, it is “will you wear this tie.”

LAME. Come on Lance! Bring out a gold condom for these hotties or something!!!

I just went to the link above where you can watch the full episodes and realized each suitor has a full video clip/bio thing so I definitely know how I’ll be spending some time later.

Seriously, for real, not joking, seriously, it was amazing.

Most importantly, it will totally fulfill my need while we wait for another season of the Bachelor to run my life.

But I feel like this is going to top the Bachelor by far.

:: Brandi Glanville owes IRS ::

You know how much I just love and respect Brandi Glanville.

She’s so classy and elegant and well spoken and kind.

…… oh I jest!

So I was kind of a little tiny bit happy when I saw that she owes the IRS tons of money.

I know its not nice of me….. but….. she’s not nice, so sorry not sorry.

also, is this a recent photo? because every time I see her she looks different, but this time especially.

is it colored contacts too or something?

:: RHNJ ::

So much and yet nothing to ever really say.

A particular highlight this week had me looking at the TV and saying out loud “Are you kidding me?”

We’ll pretend it was in the way that Teresa so often scrunches up her face and snaps “are you kidding me!!?? “.

Teresa and Joe’s lawyer : “Now Joe, you’re such a nice person that you need to be careful when you go away.”

Wait, I’m sorry, WHAT?

Either this lawyer is just as delusional as they are, or Joe has the mafia straight up all over this guy, and he knows one wrong move or wrong word and his ass is grass.

I mean really….. JOE. NICE?!?!?

Oh yeah…. husband and father of the year, year after year. Such a wonderful, kind man!

:: RHNY ::

I’m sorry, this whole eastern time zone thing really makes this hard!

Shows are on so late!

I have to watch tomorrow – but I have no doubt it was incredible!

Hope you tuned in and loved it!

Instead, we’ll look at a gif of egotistical maniacal LuAnn in one of her nine thousand moments of insanity in Miami.

:: MAZEL OF THE WEEK ::

dListed is the funniest news site around.

No need to even read his words (though those are great):

This is the photo he used under the title that Hilaria Baldwin birthed her third baby with Alec Baldwin.

To clarify, the mazel is for dListed, not for the birth of the baby.

September 8, 2016

discuss amongst ya-selves……

I didn’t get home until after 11 Monday night, so unfortunately I am still so far behind in my TV viewing.
My hugest most sincere apologies….. and you know I mean it because I’m devastated with how behind I am.
Silver lining : so much great stuff to watch in the coming days!
I knew I needed to marathon Bach in Paradise first…..and I have avoided the internet at all costs.
As if anything can really be spoiled with this, but still…..

:: Bach In Paradise ::
all of this was very interesting to see play out since we already knew that Nick was the next Bachelor.
Lace is just nuts. And Grant must be more delusional for going all with all of this and being in love with her.
Amanda needs to RUN for the hills.
Why do they act like Ashley would actually lose her viriginity to Wells, whom she has known all of 15 minutes?
also….. don’t skip the Big Brother section at the end…. I have deep thoughts on love and a Big Brother and Bachelor comparison.
Before I can even finish typing that, Wells dumps Ashley.

Duh.
I honestly don’t understand how someone can be this emotional. I hope she is seeking therapy.
It is so mean slash funny that they make them drag their suitcases through the sand and the waves. These producers have no shame.

Going into the fantasy suite part we have four couples :
Grant and Lace : we all know this will last about as long as it takes for Lace to drink away tomorrow’s hangover……
Josh and Ashley : this poor, sweet girl has no idea what she has gotten herself into.
Evan and Carly : NO. WORDS. I. CAN. NOT. Is this a joke?
Nick and Jen : Okay…. I can see this….

Out of the four of these : Nick and Jen are the only ones I would be rooting for….. and seem to be the most normal and balanced of the group…… and of course, we already know this isn’t going to happen because Nick is The Bachelor.

Lace and Grant Fantasy Suite:
They walk straight into a Tattoo Parlor.
To combine their names Grant + Lace into Grace.
YEP. Proof it’s never working out right here.

Evan and Carly’s date is of course the worst of the entire season – smearing paint all over each other. Although it’s better than sweating all over each other last time or record-breaking hot pepper kiss.
Carly has anxiety because this time last summer was when her boyfriend broke up with her. Is it just me or was that a very different relationship!!??

Josh and Amanda are with kids for their date! Of course! Because Amanda has two daughters and Josh therefor can’t wait to have kids and loves family!
That Josh…. heart of gold on that one!!! ugh.

Lace’s lashes are just too much. It’s all I think about (mostly) every time she is talking.
Also, I think about how she talks as though she is heavily medicated and it’s difficult to get the words out…. but…. the lashes mostly.
Now they are in the bedroom portion of the evening – and we know what’s going down because we already saw it ON CAMERA week one. Lovely.
Lace is talking to the camera about how great Grant is and that she is in love and looks like she is about to fall over or at minimum fully close her eyes and fall asleep.
Oh wait…… Grant is going to close the bedroom door from the cameras and she’s on her side with her back to us and could very likely be passed out……

Thank goodness this show is over because if I have to watch and listen to Josh make-out one more time I’m going to have to watch this show on Mute.

We kick off part two, the final finale, with Evan rapping to Carly in their white fluffy robes.
Yep. Romantic morning up in here.
He seems like a really nice guy, but I’m sorry. I can’t.

Like Carrie’s post it note : I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me.
He seems like a very nice and kind guy and would probably be a great boyfriend…. but I mean…. Are we all just forgetting everything from Jojo’s season and the fact that he is an erectile dysfunction doctor and that EVERYTHING he is does is so …. not….. sexy. He’s picking out a ring for the person who for several episodes was nauseated by kissing you. And now she loves him like she never thought possible??? Come on!!!!!
Jorge, WHAT Mexican drugs are you stirring up in these cocktails??

Grant wakes up with Lace and is suddenly unsure.
Lace is thinking “We got matching Tattoos!!!”
Lace : have you seen his body??? He will probably never see it or notice it again – the man is covered.

I feel like the real question for these guys is not : To propose or Not to propose? It’s : free engagement ring or not?

Neil Lane is like, WTF? Nick? AGAIN? Josh? AGAIN?

ALSO : To Amanda and Evan, how can you get engaged to someone who has never even met your children!? I feel like that is NOT okay.
but you know me…. no opinions…. you do you….

Evan proposes with “Will you freaking marry me?”
{EDITORS NOTE : ……. ME….. SHAKING HEAD….. STAHP.}

then he says “hashtag blessed…….”
I GIVE UP. Uh. Best wishes, you two.

Then Grant proposes, because he loves Lace “when she’s yelling at him, but mostly when she’s Lace”.
Which, you know, is drunk and belligerently yelling.

As we know, Nick breaks up with Jen because he is the next Bachelor.
I really, really, really like Jen. A lot. And she’s super cute with a smoking hot bod who also seems intelligent and well spoken. Hashtag Jen for the next Bachelorette!

And I can’t even watch Josh and Amanda he disgusts me and every word is dripping with lies!
LIES I TELL YOU! I don’t need to read Andi’s book to know!
And seriously, botox your whole bod or something to help with this sweat disorder.
Two back to back reality shows and you don’t even make a stop to see someone about this and spend some dough for that!?

HE IS SOAKING WET. DRENCHED. DRENCHED.

As expected…. these guys are taking advantage of that free bling from Neil. CALLED IT.

P.S. I miss Chad

:: RHoNY Reunion ::
I never got to see part one just yet, I didn’t have time to watch yet but didn’t want to miss part two.
So we’ll start there and then I’ll backtrack this weekend and watch.
I seriously cannot handle Bethenny picking on Jules.
Leave her the hell alone.
Bethenny sits there denying that she spoke about Jules eating disorder OR her marriage once. What?? She definitely DID and I agree with Jules that, ~~I’m sorry~~, she must be watching a different show than the rest of us.
I LOVE how Jules has found her voice and is fighting back. Love it.

Bethenny is hilarious and quick witted as hell, but she is a mean, mean, mean girl who needs to lock it up and pick on people their own size (like Lu) and learn to take if if she’s going to dish it like this.
Everything Bethenny says and does this episode infuriates me.

Carole is channeling Kathryn Calhoun from Southern Charm in this heeeee-deous ensemble.

Why is it Gone With The Wind Fabulous themed for these reunions for these two?
It’s seriously a competition between Kathryn and Carole for the worst on this one.

and unbelievably… I think Carole wins.

And Bethenny did turn Carole into a mean girl this season!
Jules age jokes are not the same thing as the bitchy comments from Bethenny and Carole.
Thank you Dorinda for clarifying that YES, you are that much older than her, you could be her mother! And for always sticking up for her!
I love me some Dorinda!

found it and just had to use it

Oh wait, thank goodness, we’re on to Dorinda! A break from Bethenny.
Dorinda stands by everything she has said and done – like a boss. Preach Dorinda, PAH-Reach.

Ramona : I have forgotten to say this EVERY week – whenever someone is getting upset and she grabs them and pulls them in to her, and is so over the top about it every time, always reminds me of Joey as Jessica Lockhart on Friends

It’s like, putting the focus directly on her face . It’s hilarious and I love it.

60 seconds later….. pulling out printed out evidence and leaping off the couch.

That is all I have energy for with these NYC ladies because they have given me a pounding heading.
I know I missed a lot part one, and there is more to come part three, like LuAnn continuing to make an ass of herself.

:: RHoOC ::
“Glamis” was definitely the drinking word of the night. (and last week too I feel like)

Heather’s camper van was so ridiculous. I feel like she should feel silly, because the other camper vans were legitimately amazing. They were so cute.

Right when you think it can’t get worse for Megan King Edmonds and her couldn’t-care-less husband Jim, IT DOES.
He isn’t present for any of her IVF surgeries or implantation or anything, and THEN, when they get “the call” that she IS in fact pregnant, he literally has no response. No reaction. Nothing.
SERIOUSLY???
Say what you want about Megan King Edmonds, but at the very least she seems like a nice girl. Why the hell would she choose a twice divorced used up baseball player that is “famous” to those hailing from St. Louis.
My mind is just seriously blown with everything involving this man. He repulses me. Not only is he an awful husband to her (sorry – cameras can’t make up lies for three seasons now) but he’s clearly going to be just as amazing of a father.

The accident was scary – less scary because we all knew already that they were fine – but the slow motion shots of them in the back and the helmet flying out were very scary.
Thank goodness they all were alright! I’m sure it could have been much worse.

So : the question is : Do we think Megan needed to go see Vicki in the hospital?
I felt like she did….. it certainly would have made her come off with some heart if she just stopped in ~~and brought her a casserole~~ if only because taking a helicopter to the hospital makes it seem very serious and then she was there all alone.
And none of the other girls could go because they were three hours away.
But then the more I think about it, I feel like she didn’t need to?
I feel like if it had been anyone else – literally anyone – Megan would have gone….. and should have…… but maybe it’s just because it’s Vicki that I’m thinking “ehhh… I feel like it’s okay she didn’t go.”
It seemed like Vicki was fine, Megan was told in the phone call that Vicki was fine, and let’s face it, Vicki and her are not friends.
I’m not saying Vicki wasn’t actually injured….. BUT…..we all know the woman will do ANYTHING, like, fake cancer for example, for a damn CASSEROLE.
so.
just saying.
also, the more dangerous thing vicki did was sprint across the dunes at night in the dark where ATV’s are flying all over the place. seriously??!!??

:: Lance Bass Bachelor show: Finding Prince Charming ::
In case you were sad that bachelor in paradise was over and that we had to wait some time before The Bachelor begins, wait no longer!

Lance Bass’ show premieres tonight (I think on Logo?) with a gay male suitor and all of his potential husbands. I think it’s going to be amazing!!
What if the contestants in the house fall in love with each other instead of the suitor?

:: Below Deck ::
The new season premiered this week
We have some old peeps, like Chef Ben and Head Stew Kate (and Kelley, but I wish it was his cute Texas sister instead if I’m being honest), and of course some fresh meat
Clearly Trevor, the senior deck hand is the one to focus on.

He was laying in bed picking his nose….. AND ATE IT.
but he was a hair model for Paul Mitchell so it’s totally fine.

:: Big Brother ::
oh-em-gee it is soon good when it’s gets down to the end and everyone likes each other and they have to start picking them off. It’s just so good.
Who would have thought the two that I couldn’t stand week one because they were BFF with Josea would be who I’m gunning for most – Victor + Paul.
I love Natalie + James too, but in the end, Victor and Paul have earned it more I think.

:: Big Brother and Bachelor/ette ::
For those of you who don’t watch Big Brother, here is the premise : People are stuck in a house for around 3 months give or take, with no TV, books, pens, ANYTHING except staring around and talking with each other.
During the summer, usually there is a “show-mance” or two and romance with blossom between some of the contestants.
These people spend every single solitary moment together, and go through extreme stress, competitions, time without family, etc.
THESE PEOPLE – after all that – usually don’t say I love you (occasionally do) and never do they walk out of situations engaged. After not ONE moment in a different house from their significant other, they still are intelligent enough to realize it isn’t reality and it would be silly to act like this is the rest of your life. And even if it is, wait a month or two and THEN you can commit to the rest of your lives – what’s the rush?
And the percentage of couples that leave and stay together by going this slow route is higher than Bach (Jordan and Jeff obviously being the best of all)

Happy Coffee Talk Thursday

I sadly have missed basically EVERYTHING this week, and you know how strongly this disappoints me, especially when it disappoints you!

I even tried to go to abc.com to try to watch Bach in Paradise online and Bravo to try to watch Housewives but I haven’t been able to because we don’t have an online username for those accounts.

but who cares….. I digress….

one of the few things I am privy to this week….

UM NICK AS THE NEXT BACHELOR????

I am so NOT okay with this.

if you’re a long time reader/Coffee Talk Connoisseur, you know my thoughts from both Andi’s season AND Kaitlyn’s about him.

Imagine my surprise, when I go to the gym in the hotel this morning, thinking that I’ll be nauseous from my cocktails the night before and lack of sleep, when in reality, I am ALL excited to be watching KLG and Hoda on the 10 o’clock hour of the Today Show – a true luxury that I will forever miss from my school days – and what do I see?

WHAT DO I HEAR?

That Nick is going to be the next Bachelor.

I. Just. Can. Not.

I have discussed this in the hours since this horrific news with a few friends and I realize that many ladies him find hot and sexual….. but I have also realized many share my thoughts and do not.

But really, its not even about his level of hotness or lack thereof.

It’s that it’s his 9,428 hour of ABC fame-whoring and they are continuing to feed it?!

TWO seasons of The Bachelorette, and a whole other one now with Paradise, plus TONS of publicity and commentary in between……..

I was thinking I would be disappointed with whichever recent JoJo-reject they chose….. but THIS.

Never saw it coming.

I guess the only thing that could be worse would be Josh-MmmmmMM Noises-Murray being the next most eligible…….

The hardest part to grasp is that I know I will watch every single minute of every hour of it….. which makes me feel bad for all of you… prepare for some serious “SERIOUSLY?” and “REALLY?!” and “I CAN’T EVEN!?!” coming at you on Thursday’s this fall….. because SERIOUSLY REALLY I CAN’T EVEN with Nick freaking Viall being the person I have to watch for 2+ Hours every week.

I will end with a kind comment in Nick’s favor:
He has been great comedic relief involving Princess-Jasmine-Crying-Face and the other crazies on Paradise this season – telling them to LOCK IT UP.

In other News…..

I hope you all had a great night last night watching NY Housewives Reunion Part I…. I am sure my-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen did not disappoint
~~the way ABC continues to. okay sorry. I’ll drop it now.~~
