You should! It was a quick, fun read! I read it in 4ish days on vacation 😎

Agree that adaptations are hard but they should have considered a lot of this, especially since, as a series, they were under much looser time constraints with regards to the storytelling. They Could’ve easily worked it in it had been 8 or 9 episodes instead of 7!

In the book Madeline (who is very middle class) befriends her because Jane reminds her of herself as a single mom with Abigail. Celeste, as someone mentioned, doesn’t really care to be rich anyway and isn’t very superficial.

Yes, definitely. I liked that about her too. And how she burned through a ton of money giving to charities before she had planned to leave.

I recently read the book before I started the series and I REALLY, REALLY wish they had explored the classism of Celeste’s storyline like they did in the book.

Good point. I doubt anyone in such an old money family is allowed to even think about marriage without a prenup!

I actually read last year that Carole has the highest net worth of all of them. Something like $150m because of the family she married into.

Lighthouses rule.

I wish I could do this but no one else would get it :(

These people are too rich NOT to be doing cocaine every time they “party.”

YES GIVE IT TO ME

Yeah, that clip is a little too real. I prefer my reality shows with a little less reality, thanks.

Thanks for this. I only have a few small tattoos (FOR NOW) but before I got them I didn’t realize how intrusive people can be about other people’s tattoos. I hate when people ask about mine (mostly “what does it mean?” me: “it doesn’t mean anything, I just like it”)

Also v typical Scheana because she is too busy being desperate for everyone to like her to actually be involved in a confrontation.

Omg Scheana is so ANNOYING around food. Especially seafood. It’s just so immature and attention-grabbing to get up and walk away from a table because you think the food is “disgusting,” especially at a nice restaurant or a clam bake someone invited you to as a guest.

They must be doing drugs because I can’t believe they stayed out until 4:30 with all that drinking... I would be knocked out by 1

I LOVE Teen Mom’s 4th wall break. It just feels so much more authentic. Like we know the producers are there, you might as well just show them. However, I think they had to do it because some cast members (Farrah) had no one to film with where they could have natural-seeming conversations.

They tried it in Season 3 with Andrew Firestone. I think the idea of an heir as the lead was too cliche, even for them.

Is anyone else almost as surprised that she was picked because of her age? This show is also notorious for pairing younger women with slightly older men. I don’t think there’s ever been a Bachelorette in her 30s (Rachel is 31). I can’t imagine they will be casting many 20 something men for her...

Life & Style was reporting a few weeks ago that A LOT of women this season were dying to leave and producers had to convince them to stay. I bet Rachel leaves. She’s above this.
