I hope my post wasn't taken the wrong way or somehow insulted anyone. When I was commenting about how the other half lived I meant it from the stand point of living life with a CRAP LOAD OF MONEY. LOL! Anyway, if I did insulte someone or my post was insensitive, I apologize.

There was no offense taken by me. I've been thinking about this since watching the show. I moved with my DH to the East Coast and the South for 2 yrs., and was really taken aback at how the rest of the country views Californians. My theory is Californians are fine. It's the people that move here that give us a bad rap. LOL.

does anyone elses red flag go up when watching Slade? He didnt want her to work and freaked when she got a job. He doesnt want her talking to the others at the party, yet tells her to go meet people. When talking about her (with her sitting there) he basically says she is dumb and makes fun of her... what the heck?? I wouldnt put up with that no matter how much the man had. He comes across as slimey to me....

Excellent points Misty. It was odd that he had them sitting away from the others. How old is she anyway?

Oh ok no wonder he treats her as a child and not as an equal and she needs to realize that. Unless she's looking for a father figure to take care of her. And no wonder she was hitting on the 18yr old. And omg I wanted to smack both the mom and the 20yr old daughter, Amber? Ashley? She buys a car, gives them a check that she has no money to cover and then is wondering where her car is. Duhh the repo man got it lol. And then she doesn't know what to do. If I was the mom I would've got her a bus pass and dropped her somewhere to get a damn job. She's totally clueless and mom is selfish. And her face looks plastic. Too much botox.

You guys picked up what I saw, too. Exactly my thought about Slade Slimey. I also thought the superficial Botox mom was annoying.

I went to the website and read the bios of the women and Kimberly's blog which was very interesting. Jo is too young to get tied down to a ready made family, but since it's a rich one... He's her sugar daddy. I could use one myself right now but I'm too old now lol.

I watched most of this last night, but I fell asleep before the end of the show. I did catch the part about how Slade has a black American Express card, thus resulting in the store closing for him so he could shop. I've never even heard of a black American Express card. Must be nice. Why did they break up???

Jo was just not ready for a ready-made family, she's only 24. I would've kept the ring though. Kimberly's story made me sad but had a happy ending though.

Mocha, that lovely ring would have been passed on in my family for generations. I would not have given it back either! She just was too young. My son is a year younger than her and I can't imagine him being ready to marry. Especially with kids already in the mix.

So she wasn't ready for a ready-made family, but she had no problem spending Slade's money at the furniture store last night????

I think the platinum AE is still the tops. There are three black AE cards (IN:LA, IN:NYC, IN:Chicago) and looks like it's more for entertainment and travel discounts in those cities.

according to snopes.com quote:In 1999 American Express announced the introduction of its Centurion™ card. Available only by invitation to selected Platinum card members, this black credit card promises to simplify the lives of the harried rich. In exchange for its hefty annual fee (initially $1,000 US, but now $2,500), cardholders receive automatic upgrades on fifteen of the world's leading airlines. They also receive assistance in securing hard-to-come-by tickets for popular events, reservations at trendy restaurants, and shopping for Christmas gifts. Someone from the service will even call to remind cardholders of upcoming anniversaries. It is akin to having a personal concierge always on call. "There had been rumors going around that we had this ultra-exclusive black card for elite customers," says Doug Smith, director of American Express Europe. "It wasn't true, but we decided to capitalize on the idea anyway. So far we've had a customer buy a Bentley and another charter a jet."
native, those are the "black and gold" cards which are called "Priority Pass" cards.

The black AMEX card on their website is not the one Slade has. That is an invitation only card and very exclusive. I have heard only 1% of AMEX cardholders get it, way more exclusive then Platinum. Live in OC, not too far from Coto. Have friends that live in Coto. Coto is nice but the majority of the homes there are not massive homes like you see on the show. Many nice tract homes there as well as condos but it is not that big of deal to live in Coto. Honestly, many people would rather live closer to the beach in Laguna Niguel. Not gated but only 1-2 miles from the beach with some beautiful homes with ocean views. Definetly would be my preference. Love watching this show to see where they go and seeing familiar sights. I am sure the Jo/Slade break up will be resolved by next week's finale. In our local paper, it says the most hated man in Coto is the producer of this show and the second most hated man in Coto is Slade!
