My theory on announcing so early is that normally they have the suitors cast before they even announce the bachelorette (and same for for a bachelor season—i.e. many of the girls this season were cast with Luke in mind). With a black bachelorette they need to both cast a more diverse group than might normally apply…

This is so deliciously good.

Yep. I was pulled over (in Florida, where I live...ugh) by an officer for speeding. Mind you, I had my signal on (which in and of itself is bizarre in Florida, because no one uses them. I actually thought cars were sold here without them), changed lanes one at a time (as opposed to sweeping across 3 or 4 lanes)…

Hello. I’m not American. Can someone tell me why America thought it was a good idea to make a functionally illiterate man with severe personality disorders the President of the United States of America?

Andy is a whore to the ratings, how else do you explain Vicky Gunvelbitch on RHOC? I really hope for her that she isn’t going back, although New Jersey is pretty boring now, I’d rather listen to the watch what crappens recaps than actually watch it, except for Melania, that kid is a hoot!

Um, Jesus Jugz absolutely should come back. I miss Richard Lawson’s recaps of RHOC, and his hilarious take on the interactions between Alexis and Jim Blob.

I’m just so disappointed in Jacquelyn 😕

I will never be able to look at her and not see that now.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the article. Her daughters in NO WAY deserved any harassment. NONE.

Anyone but Jacqueline.

Let her collect her coins. She literally was the sacrificial lamb that blew the franchise up to what it is now aside from Nene. Come here forth Danielle of Staub and reclaim your rightful place because Jacqueline is not really doing it for me.

I had never read that article Christine wrote until now and it’s awful. That poor girl didn’t sign up for any of it yet she suffered a lot. At least she’s doing well in school now and seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I don’t know why Danielle would want to come back, I’m guessing money and maybe…

Corinne is a drunken spoiled brat. But she also likes to have fun and doesn’t typically start problems to be cruel. She was bad to taylor, but she felt attacked. When Jasmine was melting down last night, Corinne didn’t chime in and twist the knife. When the women addressed her early on she stood her ground, but she…

Anyone else notice how they kept on talking about how beautiful and sunny St-Thomas was when it was clearly cloudy and super windy? I know they have to advertise locations, I mean, “St-Thomas” was the “Jade and Tanner’s wedding” of this episode.

To be clear, I’m not blaming her family. I can’t imagine how upset they must be, but I’ve known too many people who’ve been seriously injured on those things. They’re just not worth whatever fun you might have on them.

Do not allow your children to drive ATVs! They are so dangerous that actually no one should be driving them.

This is how we win. With love.

I am looking forward to her on BiP, which seems to be the prize she is really competing for here. I wouldn’t say she’s ‘great’. I do not like her, but she’ll make good TV and bad life choices. BiP material all the way.

She’s also like teflon! You can’t say anything to her because she’s 24 (?) and just. doesn’t. care.

Or this is the BEST SEASON ever. But for real, can you really say this season is more boring than CHRIS (farmer) SOULES’S??? BEN (white bread) HIGGINS??? I’m also very over the Corinne/Taylor drama (although I disagree that Corinne’s “acting” per se). Also in general I think the girls this season are way less basic…
