Thanks for posting that front on shot of the black dress, happycanadian. Now that I can really see it, I've gotta say that I the dress as well as Drew in it.
-
I'm really not sure what to make of the outfit. Between the ribbon running straight down the middle and the way Drew is posed, it looks more like a spandex pant suit with very poofy sleeves to me. Then again, I haven't been clothes shopping for myself in years so fashion is clearly not my forte.

I hope not. Considering how many people audition for the show, it would frost me to no end if Max gets fast tracked to cast member status the day he turns 18 simply because he's related to 2 previous contestants. I HATE preferential treatment.

They never said how Laura hurt herself...just some comments from Jillian that Laura had been complaining about hip pain for a while and that she was sending Laura to see the ranch doctor just in case something was up. My hunch is that it was repetitive use and that they may never know exactly what caused the stress fracture, as they've been pretty straight forward with the root causes of all the other medical issues of this season. I was a bit underwhelmed by the makeovers as well, especially since Tim Gunn was styling them. I thought Filipe had a bit of a Herb Tarlek vibe to him and Kristin's outfit was rather....matronly. I am glad they convinced Ron to shave off the beard. It occurred to me yesterday that he bore a strinking facial resemblance to Billy Mays, the infomercial guy. I did NOT like the way they handled Max (Mike's younger brother) on last night's show. Let Max deal with his weight demons (or not, since it's ultimately his choice) on his own terms, away from the spot light. Don't exploit the poor kid in the name of drama/ratings.

It took PETA 20+ years to come up with this idea????
-
I wish I could take credit for it, but no....I saw that out in cyberspace somewhere but I can't recall offhand who the original source was. Pretty appropriate though, huh?

I think the decision to send Sione home was mostly a function of getting rid of a strong threat now in case the opportunity didn't present itself again. Helen doesn't have much more to lose and The Ronfather is gunning for her, so I see Helen gone before long anyway. The fact that Tara benefits most from Sione's absence and Filipe is now essentially flying solo without an alliance made this a pretty sound decision for Laura on both strategic and political fronts. Laura is quietly emerging as a threat and I couldn't be happier for her. Filipe is so entrenched on The Ronfather's shit list that Laura probably doesn't need to worry about any fallout from this vote. Next week is Makeover Week. Yay!!!

^^ It's all good, Hihomumio. I got a cruel reminder on another board that I post on that things that would clearly come across in the intended manner via the spoken word don't always do so via cyberspace. Thanks for understanding my snark.
-
Valerie looks fantastic! Agreed...as does Kathy. I was mainly snarking on the fact that they both came out with bikini shots within about 10 minutes of each other.
-
Take THAT, Valerie Bertinelli!!!!!
-
Mike's not coming off all that good as of late either. I am just about over this season.
-
I have to wonder if Nicole tanked that on purpose. She did NOT look comfortable sorting through the politics and game play at all. You had mentioned earlier in this thread annabeat that you had relatives who made it all the way to the end of the casting process for this season only to end up as "the 12th couple". I'm curious if your relatives have shared any thoughts on this season thus far from an insider's point of view....

How bad was your hangover this morning?
-
I don't have any kids but I'll be the first to admit that I was a total idiot at the "worldly" age of 18.
-
If she's stuck home alone, does that mean they don't have a nanny?
-
She looks like Maggie Gyllenhaal in that picture.

Tara really doesn't bother me. I see her attitude more as confidence than arrogance, much like Ali Vincent of 2 seasons ago. That said, Ali actually did bother me quite a bit and still does. I think that's mostly because I always felt that TPTB went overboard in shoving Ali down our collective throats at every turn and continue to do so. I think TPTB want Tara around as long as possible but I don't get the feeling that I'm watching "The Tara Show" week in and week out. I'm also not sure it's fair to call Tara out on her voting patterns just yet. Yes, the Damien vote was controversial but it's not like she's been to the elimination room very often thanks to Bob's blue team. I was really, really encouraged by the way Laura was portrayed last night. She could be very dangerous now that the light bulb has finally been lit.
-
I wonder if Demi's at all chapped that she was ultimately replaced by a 15 year younger doppleganger?

Wilmer Valderrama...isn't he the clown that told Howard Stern how big his penis is, and bragged about taking Mandy Moore's virginity, and bedding Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Run Rihanna, run fast and don't look back. The one and only, but let's not forget to add Lilo's hand me downs too.
-
Sadly, that's probably the most meat I've seen on her in quite some time.
-
I'm happy that Ron pulled out such a good number while at home for the week as well. Hopefully this will give him some much needed confidence that yes, you CAN do this on your own. It frustrates me that so many people are still playing the "I need to be here" and/or the "I need to train with so-and-so" card this far in to the game. Everyone's got to go home eventually.

Mandi has been portrayed as a whiner and a crier all season, but that said she was the strongest person on the blue team by far. I truly admire her for falling on the sword for Aubrey, but I fear that unless they go to singles on the next episode that she only bought her sister one extra week. Ron's been calling the shots at elimination ever since the new teams were formed, so I suspect that Mandi was singled out because he decided her number was up. It probably didn't help that Mandi gained 2 pounds since the last weigh in, which caused the blue team to lose one that they should have had dead to rights. It saddens and frustrates me that so many grown adults are STILL not taking accountability for or ownership of their own health and well being.

What people don't want to understand about DV is we aren't talking about shoplifting a candy bar or running a red light. We are seeing the aftermath of a violent, physical assault, one that if committed by a stranger would be treated as a serious offense. Because it is committed by a "loved one" it is deemed ok. Not so bad. Just an anger management thing you know. Just a silly youthful indescretion. And her isolation has kicked in big time now, cut off from family and friends, no source of support for her. So textbook. I did this for a living for 12 years (legal advocate, protective orders, emergency shelter, etc) and I am so burned out on it. She needs counseling and intervention. He needs to experience the consequences of his actions and serious batterer intervention. But I don't see that happening. It seldom does. Memories fade with the bruises and she just thinks she must have deserved it anyway. Besides, she luvs him. And he must luv her or he wouldn't get so passionately angry at her, right? Throw in the fact that there's a boatload of money at stake and it's no wonder that the entertainment world seems to be closing ranks.

Bitch, please. Does anybody really think this chick has ever pounded the pavement on a pair of running shoes more than one time in her life? The only thing that would surprise me about this whole story is that she didn't tip the paps off before heading out the front door. Edited for the usual typo....

She could kill two birds with one stone and become the next "Girl Next Door."
