Either you did the thing and are ready with an explanation/apology/pile of remorse, OR you did not do the thing at all. In every housewife argument (and most federal fraud cases), you have to make a choice. Especially when you’re also using phrases like “I didn’t mean it” or “I’m trying to defend my fucking vagina.”

Jen asserts she’s done nothing wrong and wants someone to “acknowledge the double standard going on and that she’s owning her shit and Meredith should too.” I’m not sure it’s possible to insist you’ve done nothing wrong while simultaneously owning your shit. Ultimately, Meredith says she needs Jen to acknowledge she did something wrong before apologizing. I remain fascinated by the creative ways Lisa manages to bring every conversation back around to fast food, herself, or both! Nonetheless, Lisa understands Meredith’s hurt concerning Brooks, because when one of the Barlow boys was a kid, someone said he had a big head in a convenience store, and she’s still upset about it. It’s also probably because they’re all on a television show, and this gives her a story line against which to prop up the ever-growing portfolio of Barlow spon-con. Meredith doesn’t understand why Lisa needs her and Jen to have peace so badly, besides the fact that it makes Lisa’s own life easier. I know I said last week that I’m not expecting anything about “the incidents” for a few more episodes, but it’s hard not to see this as some season three focus group–slash–contingency plan …Īnyway, back to where we left off - on Echo Lake, the gals are still going at it. Have you ever thought about judging The Voice? Like, aura-wise, are you more Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus, or Cee-Lo Green? Would you be a fast-talking hard-ass or an aw-shucks sweetie as you assess a bunch of wannabes battling for an ugly trophy and 42 seconds of fame? And have you ever thought about how, even if you’re Pharrell Williams himself, you probably have next-to-zero control over the entire situation because production has that leash pulled real tight? If so, you’re in luck, because this episode is almost entirely about a lady named Angie auditioning for Jen Shah’s snowflake.
