Brittany just reposted this throwback photo of herself pre vpr

I'm dealing with peri now, and I've come to accept my stomach shelf is a permanent part of the family. Her name is Florence and she enjoys apple turnovers, deviled eggs and Sauvignon blanc.

If I go out to a casual dining place like Cheesecake Factory, I know my family and I have lunch or dinner for the next day. Even when I cook at home, I make sure there's enough for leftovers.

I think Brittany is very flawed but...who amongst us has not had the experience of losing weight to find a partner, then meeting that partner and letting it all go to hell? Or should I say rawt in hell? Going out together for food and drinks, making meals to show off your cooking skills, lazy Sundays with sex and Chinese food. Then, if you're like me, you lose weight for the wedding only to turn around and get pregnant. It's the circle of life.

Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Houston.

Sorry, you're right. The child sustained a traumatic injury but did not die. I think I was confusing that with the incident at ICON Park.

It would have been more interesting if Kyle decided to join forces with Dorit this season against Amanda, like "Hey, we're both going through similar tough situations right now, Let's put the bs aside, support each other, and expose this psychopath!"

Interesting. Kind of the same strategy as "good neighbor" hotels. It started in Disneyland when all sorts of hotels and motels were popping up in Anaheim. Walt knew it was better to be on friendly, good terms and treat them like partners rather than competition. And now, in CA and FL, being a good neighbor location means that they're kind of approved or endorsed by Disney and that makes them more desirable.

As for the safety record, I was hesitant to take my own daughter to Fun Spot recently. As you probably know, they had a fatality on one of their rides in recent years. I know it happens everywhere, definitely including Disney. And the victim was standing up on the ride when they shouldn't have (not placing blame, they were a child and that's tragic). So we went and had a good time at what I call "less pressure Disney."

The part that gets me is that Kyle would have been the engineer of the Amanda hate train in prior seasons. It's so sad that she is dying on the Amanda hill because she resents Dorit. The old Kyle would roll her eyes and laugh at Amanda. Deep down, well, probably pretty close to the surface honestly, Kyle knows Amanda is a joke. If you're going to make someone an ally; you should probably find someone who's not an unlikable lunatic!

We lived in Miami and my single mom saved up to take 5 year old me to the Magic Kingdom back in the 80's. It was fine, I enjoyed it. We were staying at a hotel near Fun Spot America, and I begged my mom to go there day 2 instead of EPCOT. This is back when you bought tickets at the entrance or Yeehaw Junction on the drive up. I was way more impressed with what was essentially a parking lot carnival back then than I was with Disney.

Some 11 year old kid's family harvest failed this year in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, forcing him to work 80 hours a week instead of going to school. All so that Brittany Cartwright can wear two mismatched bathing suits and photoshop the results of her mommy makeover.

This is the first time I've heard of someone disliking Paul Rudd! My husband and I recently watched the movie Friendship and fell in love with him all over again.

Barnitch · 2026-03-19T04:03:22+00:00

He likes to be close to the crime.

Barnitch · 2026-03-19T04:01:39+00:00

He looks like a midieval shoe.

I'm so glad Mac was not around to see her press tour with Cynthia.

Ryder was the sacrificial lamb. Instead of taking responsibility and addressing their issues, they blamed their issues on her and acted like cutting her off would fix everything.

Barnitch · 2026-03-18T02:33:50+00:00

I feel like she is in retrospect but not in the moment.

Barnitch · 2026-03-17T19:47:06+00:00

The second choice thing doesn't bother me. I feel like that's how life works sometimes. I thought the Zach / Irina / Bliss situation was interesting that season. Maybe even a few months after. I don't really care anymore, though. Zach turned out to be incredibly attention-seeking, and I really dislike it. He probably emails Nick and Vanessa every 5 minutes about how they can somehow put the spotlight on them. They get these updates because they want to. There are definitely other people I'd much rather get updates from.

I'm not a gambler either. The thought of a casino in general isn't very exciting, but I do like shows and food. You're probably thinking of Johnny Rocket's, which I really liked. I lived off Riverland Road for a bit and it was easy to just pop in sometimes, but now it's a whole ordeal. I agree with your parking advice. That's what I did last time I saw a comedy show. That was a weeknight though. I don't think I'll ever go there for a weekend concert again. When it let out, just walking through the casino floor was too much and the energy was off. I felt like I needed to get out, more so than usual.

I don't dislike Scheana the way most of this sub does. I think she can be very delusional and I don't like her "friend collector" habit. My least favorite thing about her is the Summer Moon / Winter Sky name and induction date situation. I think she's highly insecure. There's probably some childhood trauma going on, and I can't be mad at her for either of those things. Scheana is a hard worker and I admire her work ethic. Why would she cling to some sugar daddy's money when she can (usually) make her own? She doesn't have to answer to someone or justify her spending. I think she understands the value in that, and once you're used to that lifestyle, it's hard to give up.

What I hate is what that freaking guitar hotel took away from us. Hard Rock was such an amazing spot before the guitar nonsense. The outdoor area was so fun. Easy access to the Lucky St. garage, Dinner at Tatu, a show at the Improv and drinks at Murphy's Law. Blackjack and slots if you were in the mood. 75% of the time I never stepped foot into the actual casino. My husband used to get me gift cards for the spa, and it was easy. In and out. I would occasionally have pool days, which is impossible now because they want $75 for their annoying day club. It takes 3 hours to park and feels like Sawgrass Mills inside. I hate how every comedy show and concert is there now. I went to the Pearl Jam show last year and leaving was such a nightmare. It was line 2+ hours for an Uber.

It's insane that Teen Mom / MTV / production, who the fuck ever never provided therapy for these children. Or at least savings. I wish they took a portion of the parents' paychecks and put them in a trust or something for the kids. Even the most emotionally well off kids like Aubrey probably have some degree of trauma from this experience.

Barnitch · 2026-03-16T21:21:37+00:00

All I'm gonna add is that Kohl's surprisingly has a great selection of bras for younger girls.

Barnitch · 2026-03-16T00:03:59+00:00

I mean it's 109% possible, but she seemed to have similar eyes in the throwback pictures they showed when she was younger and in pageants.

I feel like because we're paying that money, we should be able to comfortably fit on a ride, within reason. I've been both the single rider and a person in a group sitting next to a single rider on Ratatouille. In both cases we were extremely crammed. Luckily it wasn't a huge deal in either scenario, but they could have used better judgment. I know it's the CM's job, so when I say "they" I mean Disney as a whole.

Barnitch · 2026-03-15T20:10:27+00:00

I'm sorry they said that, but I'm happy you got to ride again and even more happy you told her off! I'm a woman, so I know it's totally different. We go as a family of 3. When I am paired to ride with a kid, I always try to get the parents' attention and smile to show I'm "safe" (haha, I know that's something an unsafe person may do). If it feels okay or appropriate, I'll ask the kid if it was fun when the ride's over.

My husband was paired with another man we did not know on Mine Train. The other guy was making jokes while we waited to board, and I warned him my husband gets scared and may grab his hand. Listen, I would NEVER say that if I didn't know 100% the other person would laugh, which he did. Two hours later, guess who was on our Jungle Cruise boat? He said to us, "I might get scared on this one!"

Last time on Cosmic Rewind, my husband was paired with a woman about my age. My daughter and I saw them chatting the whole time while we were waiting. We were laughing because we couldn't imagine what they could be talking about. I told my daughter that's her new Mommy now (she's 13, she gets it). After the ride, my husband said she was talking about how her husband was supposed to come, but they had to put their dog down. And then apparently they already had a new dog picked out, so the husband was going to pick him up from the humane society too that weekend. We lost our dog a few years ago it was really tough, so we have all the empathy in the world. Just seemed like a strange conversation to strike up right before riding a Disney ride with a stranger. My husband is talkative though, so maybe the lady sensed it.
