She's anal but she totally admits to it and with that many kids I'd be kind of schedule and germ crazy as well. But you do see them being nice to each other and it does seem that they love each other it just gets pushed to the side with all the kids.
I have finesse! I have finesse coming out of my bottom!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Heh. She's totally a dictator, but I empathize with it (and am a little impressed by it), and she does *admit* she's a bit crazy...:)
I can't imagine how she could be any other way and keep everything running smoothly. I've only seen a couple of episodes though.

My new reality TV obsession is the Millionaire Matchmaker show. It makes me laugh so hard.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey, did anyone watch Big Brother last night? Did anything exciting happen?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
ND, I try watching the show, but the matchmaker drives me batshit.

Perkins, it was kind of funny in an idiotic way. The Jen (who is a crazy piece of work) and the boyfriend decided the way to keep [girl I can't remember - Ryan's partner] from telling everyone they are a couple was to ... tell everyone that they're a couple. It worked about as well as can be expected and they're both on the block this week.

I just crack up when she calls herself a Svengali and a Mother Theresa. Drink whenever she aggrandizes in personal interview! Or at any time, really.
I did *not* like her horrible casting call critiques on the women though. But when she's snarking on the dudes, I'm laughing.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I watched a little bit of Matchmaker, but think it's probably not my show. Nearly everyone irritated me.
On Runway, so unsurprised by Rami. I think it's interesting that they chose to let him hang on the runway when announcing the twist. And I hope that Chris blows him away. I adore Chris, and thought that dress was gorgeous. If he'd even just toned the shoulder down a bit, I think it would have been great. I agreed with Jillian's marshmallow comment, but called that it would win.
On Supermodel, Perry! Dude. He didn't even let her express whatever it was she wanted to ask about. She thought he'd cheated on her, right? He wouldn't even let her ask the question, but wanted huge affirmations from her.
I do think the fishbowl thing is such an interesting element. I would go nuts watching from the sidelines, realtime, for a show like this. I missed one of the intervening episodes, but since Bravo repeats eighteen billion times I'll catch up with it later. It's like a social experiment, really.
What else? Still loving Mythbusters!

Oops. Totally predictable, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hilarious. A coworker said she got similar personal maintenance advice from a matchmaker here -- always get your hair and makeup done for dates! Dude, seriously.
All I can think about on BB is the clip I saw from the feeds of Jen and Ryan Doing It in the bathroom with Parker (? -- Jen's partner) sitting outside waiting to pee.
