hah! You guys are making me excited for the next episode. Remember, us Canadians are two epis behind. When you guys write this stuff, it makes me feel so much more anticipation about the upcoming episodes!

Sounds like more train-wreck tv. Can't wait.

I fell asleep watching it but the whole thing about Tamra's son rubbed me the wrong way. I just don't like him I don't know what it is.

Maybe you sensed what I did, Panda. I think he lies, uses people, and thinks the world owes him something. I want that smirk wiped off of his face. Oh, and I don't like him, lol.

I think it was a lie as well. Did you see how easily his mom teared up? He knew she was going to do that. I don't like him either.

lol @ Panda

Hukd, I always revel in your pain. Because when I know you're in pain, I am up for some real entertainment.

LOL@ Nick and Hukd. What can I say? I've just learned to expect, like Pavlov's Dog, when you guys express that a certain television programme was somewhat painful to watch, I can look forward to fun times.

My thoughts on this week's episode, for what they are worth:

1. Lynn. OK, she is at least in her mid-40's. And if that was her dress that her daughter was wearing, then no wonder her daughter's BF thought she looked like a stripper. And the oldest daughter, Raquel? Could she BE any more spoiled. I also thought it amusing that she wanted a car so badly for her 18th birthday but hello? She hadn't gotten around to getting a driver's license. WTH? (Although I do have to agree with Lynn about the ban on kid talk on a girls' outing.)

2. Tamra. I don't belive Ryan's story at all. I think he made it up, or a good part of it, to get his mother off his back. (Although if his GF was preggers, I can see not telling anyone till they were past the first trimester.) And Tamra herself was completey and totally out of line with her comment to Gretchen. Tamra has definitely gotten a big ego since she first appeared on this show, and I'm finding that I really don't like her much at all. She seemed so proud to have a $40K watch and couldn't understand it when her friend brought up how many starving kids that could feed.

3. Gretchen. I absolutely 100% support her taking time off for herself. She's been there, constantly, for Jeff. Even his kids said so. And I disagree with her having to tell Tamra that his kids were with him that weekend. It's none of Tamra's business and if Tamra had any sense she'd understand that a caretaker needs to also take care of herself. I was glad to see Gretchen get a little time with her own family and blow off steam (last week). Gretchen is still one of my favorite HWs, even tho she's friends with Jo/Slade.

4. Jeanna. She's the HW that seems the most real and is the other of my favs.

5. Vicki. I still absolutely cannot stand this woman. And while Lynn may have been out of place with her "CUT!" and no kids talk, who the heck is Vicki to say that Lynn should just sit there and shut up? I'm also surprised that Vicki let them air the bit about the Accutane being the reason she couldn't give blood (and that explains her skin, which I think is looking worse and worse each week).

And oh joy, Lauri is back next week! LOL... (knew she couldn't stay away too long!)

Did we know about Vicki and Accutane before last night? I don't remember that from before. But her skin is looking kinda wrecked and I guess that is why. She must be taking it for wrinkles because she doesn't look like she has cystic acne or anything.

Costa, ITA with you about it was none of Tamra's business that Jeff's kids were with him when she took her "me time" at the lake, and Gretchen should not have had to explain that to Tamra.

Soooooo... how long has Lauri actually been gone (in filming days)... maybe a couple of weeks at the most and she's already back? How can we miss her on the show, when she hasn't really left long enough to be missed?

It's typically a drug for cystic acne but, because it is so strong, the skin also peels off and leaves a smooth layer of skin in its place, so some people use it to eliminate signs of wrinkling. It's related in some way to retin-a, IIRC.

Ohhh that makes sense Tishala ... thanks.

When the women were having lunch I kept looking back and forth at Lynn's dry, fried hair and Jeanna's soft, long curled hair. Lynn is also too tanned in my opinion.

I'm telling you Jeanna keeps looking better and better. And I'm glad for it.

I only said that I think Gretchen should have explained Jeff's kids being there for one reason...to shut Tamra up. SHOULD she have to explain? No, of course not! I'm just for anything that might have put Tamra in her place.

I am in the minority here, but I like Tamra.
I agree with her, I would never leave my husband or loved one in ICU for more than a few hours. I can see if he was in a regular room, but ICU is too risky.
I think Gretchen is just in it for the perks. You could hear the fear in Jeffs voice, that alone would have me heading back ASAP.

Now about Lynn... Her oldest daughter is a spoiled brat and has no respect for anyone.
I think Lynn is trying to act like a teenage also, no wonder her kids have no respect she is the best friend not a mother.

What is wrong with having a housekeeper and a personal chef? Goodness knows, if I could afford them, I would have them! And in that order, as I would much rather cook than clean!

Er, Landi, hon? I *have* a housekeeper!!! (I'd also have a personal chef if there was more than just me living in this household. I mean, the cats just aren't fussy enough to warrant a personal chef! <grin>)

WRT to Gretchen leaving Jeff in ICU... it's not like he just was admitted. And she didn't leave him alone. She called and had his kids come out to be with him. Even they said they didn't mind giving her some time off...

i didn't say anything was BAD about the housekeeper and the personal chef. i guess i should have worded it like this:

1. don't let jeana fool ya. she's the worst of the bunch.

2.there is a ton of stuff you don't see. like the housekeeper and the personal chef

and GRRRRRRRRR to The Snark whoever that is!
