Well, yeah. Didn’t she have some line where, because she was wearing the skimpiest bride outfit, she said, “I’m obviously the hottest bride here.” And then the other woman came out topless with her boobs covered just by her hair, and Corinne looked like she was about to cry. Because if someone else has visible boobs,…

I’ve thought about this, too. I just can’t imagine giving up your job, contact with friends and family and social media, and taking a break from paying attention to the world/politics for months on end... how do people do that??? And would I be able to retain my sanity? Would I be brainwashed into thinking that I love…

THIS is the kind of thing I miss because I only have the Bachelor on in the background while I’m cooking or cleaning, and am never fully focused on it. Can someone send me a link to this?!? I must see it!

I need more info about this. If he’s a producer, is he one of the ones who manipulates contestants and situations to create non-existent drama? What does he do? How does he feel about what he does, if he really is such a nice guy?

“I usually read all of the spoilers up until the last 6 or so contestants—before then they are nameless, beige talkboxes to me-”

I can’t tell the women apart even when I’m looking right at them. It’s one of the reasons why I don’t usually really start paying attention until they’re down to the last 4 or 5 contestants - when there are 10 or 15 or 20 of them, and they’re all tall, skinny, with long straight hair and impossibly white teeth, and…

I do the same thing. I’ll be cooking or cleaning or doing something while it’s on. It turns out I actually miss some pretty interesting stuff because I don’t really pay attention to it - someone on Jezebel the next day will mention a look on someone’s face that was really telling, or comment on how gross the kissing…

I don’t admit it to anyone in real life, ever. And if anyone accuses me of watching, I will deny it forever.

Where do you get your spoilers? I want to know who to pay attention to - I usually only half-watch the first 10 or so episodes because there are so many women, and they all look a like and sound alike, and I can’t keep track of them. So I usually don’t start paying attention until they’re down to 5 or 6 women.

I thought the same thing. You still had a bunch of the usual painfully empty-headed giggly-girls, but there were a surprising number who seemed intelligent, with real careers they care about - like the lawyer and the ICU nurse.

Wow, that is some in-depth analysis. :) But it actually makes a lot of sense... it’s too bad, because Rory had so much promise in those first few seasons.

Oh my god, yes, with Mad Men. How can they turn such an awesome show into something that sucked THAT hard?!?!

Yes!!! I thought I was the only one to notice this, but then, I teach Pilates. But the terrible posture isn’t new - she had it ALL through the original series, too. She is going to have a serious hunch back by the time she turns 40.

I’m sorry, it’s late, and I’ve had a lot of wine... and I can’t get past the phrase, “less insufferable”. Would that make her more sufferable?

Wait, Jess broke up with her because she wouldn’t have sex with him??? How could I have forgotten that? I knew he was a dick, but that seems like a super dick move, even for him.

Yes, I agree completely! Paris would be doing groundbreaking research, curing some incurable disease, or something. Not running a fertility clinic. That was just so disappointing. Why does this show insist on making all ambitious women (except for Lorelei) fall WAY short of their own expectations for themselves?

All of the Yale years are pretty awful. The dropping out of school, all of the stuff with Logan, and then the married Dean thing. Just awful, awful, awful. And apparently, she hasn’t grown up one bit in the 10 years since then.

I’ve been rewatching the original series before the reunion episodes came out. I thought that both Rory and Lorelei were flawed, but they were generally likeable characters. That’s what made the show work - that we really liked and rooted for those two. In the reunion show, it was hard to root for either one.

Yes. The whole series is really an ode to eating disorders. But only if they don’t make you fat! Because then you’ll be mocked mercilessly.

The Good Wife was one of my favorite shows, definitely worth watching. Although, much like the original Gilmore Girls, it lost something in the last few seasons. It just kept getting suckier and suckier - I was glad when it finally ended.
