Megs, I hope Puddin lives a long long time! Kidney failure isn't a death sentence. Unless you're like Costa, and also have heart failure (treating one disease is like walking a tightrope since the cat can die from the other). So give Puddin lots of kitty kisses for me (and Kassie!).

Did anyone notice Angel, a contestant from "Tough Love," on a recent episode of L.A. Ink? The episode was "The Missing Piece," and Tough Love was the dating boot-camp show on which that guy and his mom taught women how to dress and behave when dating, etc.

So glad I'm not alone in loathing Ruthless. But you can't fault her for her uber-accurate name. LOL. I adore Amy and hope she socks that b*tch in the kisser one of these days. And I'm a pacifist. LOL.

I adore Amy too (although I would love to see her do a "less is more" makeover...she is so beautiful I would like to see her without all that 50s Barbie look!). I like seeing how much she has grown as an artist...when she was first on her drawings weren't nearly as good as they are now. I like the new mural and am glad that there was no Corey drama about it. It is a natural progression. I do hope eventually is this made up world that the producers have created that there is a reconciliation between Corey and Kat. He really did a lot to help her get her shop off the ground and she really (IMO) treated him rudely. I like Rooftop but I could do without quite so much of him. Not sure what role exactly he plays on the show. When are they going to deal with Kat and Nikki's breakup? When will that happen. Let's just can Michael. He adds less than Rooftop to the show, in my opinion...and did you notice that her sister was still on the mural, although she hasn't been on the show at all recently?

I noticed that Karolyn was on the wall.. but of course that is her family. I sure wouldn't have given Rooftop such a prominent position in the mural but at least they included everyone.. lol.. many of whom I didn't even recognize. But it is her walls and her mural. I would think next season, assuming there is one, we will have Nikki gone. I did like them together but.. not my life.

I am really loving Amy this year. Ruthless has got on my last nerve and Corey seems like he enjoys the animosity between the two. Not sure how the whole shift thing works. Amy acted surprised that Ruthless went to the convention, but Amy was at the shop, you would think that she would have noticed that Ruthless was not there. Also - Tattoo conventions usually last all weekend, why could they not go different days? Long Beach is less than an hour from where the shop is, um they could have still gone out after their shift. I would love to have the real story of what is going on. Oh - For me now, the show is about American Electric with Kat and her crew filler.

Mameblanche, it is repeated here: Kat Minus Sixx Kat contemplates going on the road with Nikki, and the future of their relationship; tension between Amy and Ruthless comes to a boiling point over a tattoo convention. Sat 11/6 2:00-3:00PM 34 TLCCAN

Seamonkey, Angel was one of the women that went through the boot camp in order to learn how NOT to sabotage herself in dating relationships. She was an exotic dancer from Ohio with a young son. While on the show she met a guy with whom she seemed to make a genuine connection. Neither he nor his family seemed too freaked-out about her past as a dancer.

So we went from one episode to another and one minute Nikki wants her to go too Europe and the next she's hand in hand with Jesse. LOVELY! Kat looked GORGEOUS! love her so much with the dark hair.

Seemed to me like there must have been a big jump in time from the episode in which Nikki wanted Kat to leave for tour with him and the epi in which she showed up at the opening of the gallery she opened next to High Voltage. That, or Kat changes men as quickly as some ladies change their panties. Wow, the cliffhanger for the next episode has me on edge: the smoldering/smoking electric wires at the gallery opening, the firetrucks, etc.--that's truly frightening.

That WAS the season finale Sia. This was from my tv lising site: 'LA Ink' News 'LA Ink' season finale: What Sandra Bullock won't be watching Good news for Nikki Sixx. Bad news for Kat Von D and Jesse James....

How much of "reality TV" is actually semi-scripted for added drama? I really don't like Ruth (aka, "Ruthless," which is a ridiculous nickname for her, since she uses a baby-voice with her customers & doesn't live up to the name) and the way she constantly attacks Amy, whom I really LIKE! Love Amy, her garish make-up, her outlandish hair, her awesome artwork--everything!! She's unique and different, and a genuinely caring person. If anything, Ruth has copied Amy's look. She certainly saw Amy on episodes of "L.A. Ink" before she (Ruth) ever began working at American Electric, so I think she copies Amy's make-up--except Amy is more dramatic and daring with her look! I just feel like the fight between Amy and Ruth was a bit contrived and may have been scripted. Not happy with Amy getting angry and knocking a chair over. Don't want Ruth getting the upper hand in ANY way over Amy. Boo, Ruth: go home!!!

Sia, my DH is always going on about how 'scripted' these reality shows are. I try to explain to him that shows like LA INK and Cake Boss, are shows about real existing businesses and can only go so far for drama, when they have to think of the bottom line, their daily work for their customers. I know there is some encouragement from the producers, like dragging the storyline with that blond dingbat who was treated so badly by Corey. And now the same shite with Rutless vs Amy. For instance, I read online somewhere that Amy and Ruthless did a photoshoot together for some magazine. Doesn't mean they have any love lost, but it says something that they worked together on this gig. I still loathe Ruthless, and adore Amy, btw. Sadly, IMHO, there are too many people like Ruthless in the world, and not nearly enough like Amy.

Regarding Ruthless: The paragraph below was taken from wiki, but I did read in an interview with her that she was cast to bring drama and her goal was to stir it up. While visiting a remote island off of Honduras, her manager, Danny Casler, received a possible opportunity from the producers of LA Ink to have Ruthless become the new creator of drama for the show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Pineda}

I agree about the time jump. Have you noticed how Kat's hair has been changing even inside of a single episode. At some points she is obviously wearing a garish red wig, at some points her hair is red with dark roots and then at the end it was back to black (where it should stay). They really messed with the timing on this season, but it has still been a better season than the last two where we had the manufactured drama of the two shop assistants. Not liking them carry it over to the other shop...and why is Corey such a little instigator?

Wow. I missed noticing Angel- and I did watch that show. What kind of Tatt did she get? I wonder if she is still with that guy. I read this week that Kat and Nikki have been seen together again.
