I just finished rewatching Season 9 and I really liked Lizzie Rovsek. I felt she was a savvy addition who didn't have enough time on the show. She called out the BS, had her own business, a family, is smart and beautiful. I realize she and Christian are no longer married but she would be a great re-addition to this franchise.

*I'm also not opposed to bringing Lydia McLaughlin back, too. She was quirky but seemed to be grounded and had a thriving career, a cute family and a loving husband.

There was something about Shannon's ex-husband, David Beador, that gave me the ick. I think it started with Heather's groundbreaking hoe-down party when he kept yelling weird shit at Heather when she was riding the mechanical bull. Shannon did herself a favor by divorcing that weirdo.

Did I miss something because I do not recall ever hearing about or seeing Ryan Culberson's family. I'm not referring to Brianna and their children; I'm talking about his parents and/or siblings. I'm currently rewatching Season 9 and he and Brianna are getting ready to move to OK. It seems like Vicki has been plenty involved in their lives but we don't get a glimpse of his side of the family at all.

Ladies, what are we doing to help larger dresses look better/more form fitting while still losing weight? I found this video by accident but it doesn't really work for all fabrics.

I have some dresses that are still very cute but look ill-fitting.

I happen to have one of those clips from the 90s that has snap closures on each side that you use around the small of your back to cinch the waist but that little gizmo, although still cute imo, it seems a bit outdated (see pic). I don't want to spend a bunch of money on alterations so any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Some of my dresses won't look good with belts or scarves as belts - sundresses with a higher waist. Just wondering if there is another solution that would work.

Heather looks great with the shoulder length hair. And that dress is gorgeous! Some of the other ladies can take a page out of her book and ditch the extensions and go with something that enhances and flatters their features.

This is from the Aftershow. Kristen is talking about a conversation Janet is trying to have with her about what happened to their friendship. Kristen ends up doing that thing with her voice as if she is mocking Janet like she did in Mexico. It's so childish and off-putting. I am embarrassed that I even gave Kristen some love when The Valley started 3 seasons ago. The reality is that Kristen has no real answer other than she feels Janet hurt her friends. Janet was being the adult by saying she didn't want to talk about Zack, Nia or Danny; she wanted to know what she did directly to Kristen and guess what? Kristen cannot answer the question. She said some BS about she is her friends, which frankly, is kind of creepy and weird. She just continues to spiral and double-down on her dislike of Janet without any concrete reasons.

Does anyone know why Tamra looks like this? Was it due to her recent face lift?

So in this moment, Luke says, "What the hell Jesse. I thought we were friends." It isn't Jesse's fault that he revealed to Kristen that Luke said there might not be a wedding at the rate he and Kristen are going. Luke said it and who could blame him? It's not like Kristen wouldn't see those comments when she watches the show or when it gets mentioned at the reunion.

Kristen doesn't like to be called out. She needs a frickin' wake up call, along with constant therapy and maybe she needs to take a break from always being a relationship. And here's a tip, Kristen...don't start a relationship by fucking some guy in the bushes or behind a tent at your friend's wedding. That's not a recipe for success, girl.

OMG! It's your birthday. We get it. You know who says this over and over again, besides Danny? Kids who are under the age of 8. And as he's wiping his eyes, he is realizing there will be no birthday lovin' from his wife. That's what he's truly upset about it. So gross. A shitty person like him deserves a shitty birthday!

I am not a fan of Luke's or Kristen's but she is just so damn difficult. Idk if she is self-sabotaging the relationship to drive Luke away but it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case. Maybe she realizes that he isn't who she thought he was or maybe she just doesn't want to be with him anymore. This look on her face just tells me that she is closed-minded, shut down and checked out. She can't even take accountability for anything when she is in the wrong with friends or her partners. I don't think Luke and Kristen foster a healthy relationship and I don't see them lasting.

S3 E6 @ approx. 15 minutes into the trip from LA to SD - Just an FYI...this Amtrak Surfliner train is actually going the wrong direction - from South to North. Oopsy, production got it wrong.
