In which Coco rules the spiritual realm, as well.

Alyssa:  Baby got Ghost!
Apparently this episode involves mediums
 The Bookmarm:  Spooky!
Spiritual.  That is what I think of when I think of Coco.

There's no whore like an old whore.

Oh man, thank God this season is drawing to a close (except for the excruciating reunion show(s)).  Really, Miss Andy?  Do you think this season of RHoNY is worthy of standing next to NJ or BH, ATL or even OC?  (I'm deliberately ignoring Miami and DC, because, I mean, you know.)  So we'll all drag ourselves across the finish line with these incredibly petty, mean-spirited bitches.

Ice Loves Coco: Baby Got (Redneck) Family

Alyssa:  Hey 'marm!
 Bookmarm:  Hey girl.  Excited to see Coco's latest adventures.
 Alyssa:  Oh yes.
This one's called "Baby's Got Family"
 Bookmarm:  Ugh.  I am assuming that portends the uggo sister.
 Alyssa:  Oh, I imagine so
 Bookmarm:  Drat.
 Alyssa:  Maybe she's discovered the Licious Line since her last appearance?

Spelling is hard.

Alyssa:  So this episode is called Baby Got Business.
 The Bookmarm:  So is that her?
She's a baby now?
 Alyssa:  No, all the episodes are "Baby Got...something"
 The Bookmarm:  Way to not only objectify but also infantilize.

SYTYCD 8.10: Sweet, Sweet Crackery

DVR started early, so I missed Cat’s dramatic monologue.  Well, we know how it ended, don’t we?  This…is So You Think You Can Dance.
Please welcome your top 16 dancers: Miranda and Robert, Ashley and Chris, Jail Baitlynn and Mitchelbow, Sasha Fierce and Alexander, Melanie and Marko, Clarice? and Jess, Not Tryan’ and Ricky, Joracist and Taddpole.  These are the girls.  And here are your guys.
Cat is resplendent this evening in a glittery flapper number with a curly bob.  It’s all very Gatsby tonight.  She promises a fun show tonight, but I’m distracted by the Christmas tinsel hanging from her ears.  The audience recognizes that she’s the real star of the show and won’t stop screaming for her.  She says there are 10 routines tonight (only 8 couples so I’m guessing the boys do one and the girls do one?) and 4 judges.  Oh no.

Ice Loves Coco Episode 3: Of Scrubs and Soles

Alyssa:  Ice Loves Coco!
 Bookmarm:  Yay!
 Alyssa:  I cannot escape this Larry Crown movie
err, Crowne I guess
I feel like I've seen one million ads for it
 Bookmarm:  Mr. Bookmarm and I went to the movies and saw that preview.  So sad!  Then yesterday we watched You've Got Mail.  Remember how cute he used to be?
And Meg Ryan too for that matter.
 Alyssa:  Meg before the botox and the duck lips
 Bookmarm:  Why didn't they retire then?  When they were cute?
 Alyssa:  I don't know...Either they ignored their publicists or they hired bad people
 Bookmarm:  But those are the very people saying "You have to keep working" because they want their 10%.
My idol is Daniel Tosh because of his stated intention of retiring on his 40th birthday and living on whatever he's made by then.
 Alyssa:  I love him
I just watched, like, 4 episodes of Tosh.O back to back
 Bookmarm:  So great.  Though now you're a little more dead inside.
Who am I to talk, though?  I've been watching Real Housewives since 6:30 this morning.
 Alyssa:  Only barely...I'm pretty close to lifeless in there already
Haha, that's fantastic
Oh! I posted the SYTYCD results show today
I had to work up to it because I was so upset
 Bookmarm:  Oh no.  Will the recap explain your feelings?
 Alyssa:  Oh I think so, yes haha
Here's our girl

SYTYCD 8.9: Contemporary is King and Ryan isn't Tryin'

Ok…true confession?  I already know who went home.  I haven’t watched the episode because I was at work and by the time I got home, I was too tired to watch it but morbid curiosity took over so I looked into it and was SO furious at the results that I couldn’t stand the idea of watching it the next day and then I went to a wedding and now it’s either clean the bathroom or watch this episode, so here we are.  I know that was, like, 19 sentences strung together but that’s the way it came out.  I told you all of that to tell you this: I’m pissed and this recap will probably have just the tiniest whiff of frustration with Nigel and Co. for their blatant favoritism.  Thank you for listening.  I feel better now.  Let’s kick it off.
Woof.  Cat’s script-writer for tonight needed an editor.  Verbatim: “Last night your top 10 couples put together a mouth-watering cocktail of dance.  Like all good cocktails, it’s left us with a headache, which means 4 dancers are headed home.  This…is So You Think You Can Dance.”  What does that even mean?  Also, her dress and her lipstick are the same shade of salmon.  Was she a bitch to her wranglers this week (doubtful) or have they had to cut down on the wardrobe/writing budget to make room for Mary Murphy’s botox allowance?
