She seems totally down to earth.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I know!  Me too!  It&#8217;s so weird, too, because she has had so much work done on her face &#8211; she LOOKS so fake &#8211; but she really seems the most REAL of all of them.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I can&#8217;t stand Quinn.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;She&#8217;s a nightmare.  If I were dating her, I would run the other way.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I can&#8217;t stand Billy.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah, me neither &#8230; but still &#8211; he seems kind of smart &#8230;&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I liked how he handled Quinn during that religious conversation.  He seemed like he has a good head on his shoulders.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Tamra looks like shit.  What the hell did she do to her face?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;She used to have cheekbone contours &#8211; where did those go?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Vicki is nuts.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I mean, the screaming &#8230; it&#8217;s like &#8211; hon, let Briana be happy about the car without screaming in her face about how happy she should be.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I love Briana.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yeah, she seems normal.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Can you imagine being a Playboy Playmate and then gaining 20 pounds and having your husband not talk to you anymore?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Colton is a serial killer in the making.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I hope Lauri and George last forever.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;He seems, weirdly, like a really nice guy &#8211; doesn&#8217;t he?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes!  I think he really does love her.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;They hate Jo because she&#8217;s young.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Also, she&#8217;s made it outside the gates.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Wow, that speech was really trite.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The crystals are a bit over the top.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s her third marriage &#8211; I think it&#8217;s a bit much.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I have to say: I&#8217;m taking Vicki&#8217;s side on this one.  If some weird fan of the show was living in my house &#8211; and he moved in while I was on vacation?  I&#8217;d be a little creeped out.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, let&#8217;s remember.  Even though Vicki is nuts &#8211; she is successful.  She&#8217;s an amazingly successful businesswoman. You gotta admire that.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Slade is the biggest dick who ever walked the planet.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I can&#8217;t stand Slade.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Her music is just awful.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Look at her cleavage.  I mean, honestly.  Isn&#8217;t that a bit much?&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;She&#8217;s a nightmare.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I love Lauri.  There&#8217;s something really real about her.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The thing is &#8211; Lauri&#8217;s not vulgar.  All of those other women are vulgar &#8211; but she&#8217;s not like that.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;She&#8217;s the kind of woman who really needs to be married.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Three times.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I like Kara.  She&#8217;s kind of cute.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;She also seems like one of the only kids who actually has her act together.  She was Valedictorian, she&#8217;s going to college.  All the rest are &#8230; seriously, look at that platinum hair.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t mind Tammy.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Nah, she&#8217;s okay.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I hope Quinn doesn&#8217;t come back next season.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;You can tell the other women don&#8217;t like her.  Look at how they&#8217;re looking at her.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Jeana makes me sad.  I don&#8217;t know &#8211; there&#8217;s a real sadness there, a flatness to her voice.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Tamra&#8217;s son is just a fucking loser.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;What a mamma&#8217;s boy, too!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Like he wants to start at the executive level in whatever job he has.  He&#8217;s so spoiled!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I do have hopes for Lauri.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;George seems like a good guy.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I hope it works out for her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then.  Lights out.  We lay in bed, quietly.  Darkness.  No talking for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Then:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s sad that Jeana invited Frank into her life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And then:<\/p>\n<p>HOWLING laughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I really like Lauri.
