Brett was essentially accepting everything that Scheana tries to present herself as to the staff without realizing what she's saying. She is trying to pretend she's so much older and wiser than they are ... so he obliged and called her middle aged. She goes out of her way to remind people she's divorced and is very open about her relationships trying to exaggerate them ... so he obliged and called her on that too. He really kind of did her a favor by showing her what she was presenting herself as even though she'll never see it. Lala is no question about it seething with jealousy over the impact that Raquel has had on James that Lala was never able to do. She can't figure out how someone as timid as Raquel has done it, so now she's going to try to push her out of the way.

Interesting , that Brittney finally mentioned her family paid for half of everything .So much for Jax grumbling every time he was on camera, how much it cost him! I dislike him more each week. I have had enough of Schwartz and Katie's baby talk, good lord, it's not adorable in the least, he thinks he gets out of everything by using it. I've never been a fan of Kristen, but the last two episodes, I've felt a bit sorry for her, I'm not sure what it is, she's supposed to of done. How old is Beau, he seemed very uncomfortable talking to Stassi's father on camera, I hope it works for these two, he's a gem, but now and then, when I see old Stassi come out, I wonder... Looking at Vegas ,so vibrant last night, was a little sad.. we had such fun the last time we were there. I quite like Brett, compared to Max, I'd say he's the catch, not sleazy Max..Scheana looked old last night, her hair is thinning, I wish she would find someone. I can't get over how much the girl in Vegas looked like her..I'm still okay with Dayna, but Danica and Charli are boring, although theboth h think they are special . VR was what I needed last night, so I watched two episodes , lately I have to be in the mood for a Bravo show..

Stassi was being super immature last night. She was most likely drunk, but it was still not ok. Despite her differences with Kristen, the latter is the only reason she knows Beau. Furthermore, Beau is not Jax and has integrity in his pinkies.

Her fit was not okay, but I understood where she was coming from. She's right in saying that in the past Kristen has slept with Stassi's boyfriend and then lied about it. So I can understand why the history makes her feel insecure. She had no way of understanding that Beau's actions were because he was preparing to propose so I can see where she'd see his distance as being a sign of a problem instead of what it really was. The good news is that at this point I think that Beau totally understands the way that Stassi overreacts to things, and he's good at rolling with it instead of getting upset by it.

There was one season she was mad at Katie most of the season because Katie went to Schenna's bridal shower and Stassi didn't like Schenna. The people close to her know she has that expectation - and they also know how to smile, nod, and move along.

I fear Beau will always be chasing after her, because she always leave. He can have his own damn friends

But Beau is going to be her husband, not a nodding dog in the back of the car..I know he loves her, but I see dark clouds over him at times. I disagree. Watching how they deal with each other I think they understand each other very well and have been very smart about their relationship. Don't get me wrong - I know that Stassi is A LOT and would be tough for many people to deal with. But I think that Beau is a patient guy and he understands exactly who she is. When she throws her fits and talks about the things that he can and cannot do, I think he is smart enough to know that with her words do not always equal her expectations. There have been plenty of times when she's declared that someone needed to do something or not do it ... but then in interviews talks about how she said it, but didn't really mean it. There are not a lot of people who could put up with that. But I think Beau is a good match for her because he gets it. He knows what truly upsets her and avoids it, and he knows what is an exaggerated tantrum and he rolls with it. He knows when to stand up to her and when to just do his own thing without picking a fight. I think that all in all, Beau is different from most guys on this show because he's not hyper-arrogant, and knows how to get along well with people. We've seen it not just in the way he deals with Stassi, but the way he handles some of the other people on the show as well. After Stassi and Sandoval got into it after her book signing party, when Sandoval was talking to Beau about it, Beau did a really great job of making it clear that he may not agree with everything Stassi does or says, but he's got her back and is not going to get caught talking behind her back. That's the quality that matters most to Stassi. She's been with some crappy guys who didn't look after her - Jax slept with one of her best friends among other women he cheated on her with. The guy she moved to New York with tried to control her and was rude to everyone else - he seemed to believe he was above all of them. Beau treats her like an equal and he supports her. They've got a good partnership. I think Kristen knew what she was doing when she introduced them.

When the two of them were on WWHL earlier in the season (when shows were still happening in the studio) I was very impressed with the way the two of them interacted as a partnership. When they were talking about how Beau's family in Italy was doing as the virus outbreak was starting there, I remember being impressed with how Stassi was showing care and concern for them as well.

I loved watching Stassi and Beau's engagement - every bit of of it. It was fun to see Beau so nervous and worried about pulling it off. If was fun to see Stassi so surprised and taking a minute to process what was happening. I loved hearing Katie's joy when she answered the phone after Stassi called her - and also her sharing the details with Stassi after of all the things she'd had to hide from her. I loved the touch of having all of Stassi's family come in to surprise her - especially Beau telling Stassi to call her dad, and him playing it like it would be a while before he got to see her. I do think that Kristin should have been at the engagement party since she introduced them. But I do love the way it played out and the amount of time the show gave to it.
I also had to chuckle at Brittany instantly comparing her engagement to Stassi's and wishing SHE had gotten an engagement party at Lisa's house. I wonder if after Stassi and Beau are able to have their wedding, if Brittany is going to decide she wants a do-over because Stassi planned a better wedding than her!

I was doing okay, until Stassi's family walked out, and all that hugging started, I cried. Big sobs. I hope she's not the demon bride.lol Brittney, aww gee we only had a small engagement party, at our apartment. Didn't they have like 10 parties? I felt sorry for Kristen. As for Jax,I'm sure he knows his grass, it seems he doesn't know batteries for mowers though... James, saying sorry to Katie, god I hope he keeps up with his AA . I have a soft spot for James. Boy pretty impressed with Scheana and her his history with softball. .Raquel was good as well Tom Tom had Katie and Ariana..lol

I'd forgotten about the moment between James and Katie. She made me really mad in that discussion! To me, it showed that she's got a really mean and petty side. Yes, she was right that James has apologized to her many times before and not really meant it. But she knew along with everyone else that he has made some serious changes and was a part of AA. I think that when a person knows that someone is going through their 12 steps and makes an effort to make amends, there's an obligation to support by accepting the effort. I would not blame Katie for keeping her guard up and needing to see more progress from James before believing he'd truly changed. But he deserved a more open response from her than the snide "is this for the last time". When she behaves like that, it makes me wish that Stassi decided to dump Katie instead of Kristen.

I think Katie has mean streak. She made me angry as well, give him a break, she's no angel I saw no point in Lala calling Kristen, it just upset her, and for what reason?

To make the producers happy and do her job? I think there was a lot of producer manipulation in that whole thing. I think Lala was told to call her to provoke that reaction. I think that Jax and Brittany were sent to cut the grass in that moment so she could talk about it. And I think Lisa was asked to set an extra place for Kristen so that Arianna could be instructed to point out it would have been the spot for Kristen. There were a lot of sweet parts of hte proposal, but the Kristen drama was all manipulation!

I guess some people are I've no idea why...although Scheana' s music looked more porn than music. Wth is Jax on,why is he rage texting.? The guy is 40, he looks like he's on coke. That is not a happy guy, the rest see that, so does Brittney. Funny how Ariana can't be depressed or have mental health issues, but that fathead can. James made my heart melt, he looks so much better, for not drinking.

That's a great point in the comparison of the reaction to Arianna struggling vs Jax Fanny! I hadn't thought about it but you're absolutely right! Jax revealed a lot last night - he's bi-polar and does a lot of self medicating. Now the question is - is all that real, or was he making it up to have a storyline? I could see it either way with him.
I have to admit, I really cringed last night watching Lisa's involvement in James storyline. First she tells Raquel that James not drinking does not matter as much as James being honest with her. Um ... Lisa ... his sobriety matters more than you do! Then, after hearing all about the hard work James is doing to not drink while around people drinking, she chooses not only to drink in front of him but to make it clear she was desperate for a glass of wine? The staff at Sur talks all the time about how important it is to know how to prepare Lisa's TEA because so often when she comes in there she wants to drink tea. But the one time she comes in and sits with the guy who is working hard to be sober she suddenly needs to drink? I'm sorry but I'll never be okay with the way that Lisa uses her staff like little minions to boost herself up.

I don't even know if Scheana even has an album or record deal to even be recording some cheesy video. I'm not even taking it seriously. He needs to seriously leave Ariana alone. Lisa is right about James. He ends up becoming demanding once he has what he wants. I'm curious to see how it plays out.

I read he's still not drinking. I have had trouble with liking James over the years but his new vulnerability seems genuine. I think his parents were very indulgent of him so he has a hard time accepting "no" for an answer. I remember his mom talking to Lisa and making all kinds of excuses for him, and if I remember correctly his dad took him out for a beer awhile back to celebrate how "good" James was doing by "cutting down" on drinking. Then his mom went on some tangent about, "Your first steps were at Tiffany's! How can you suggest I wasn't a good mother?" The toddlers I know don't seem to have much of an appreciation for high-end jewelry. LOL.

For awhile James was the only income for his household, his father wasn't paying child support and he was helping his mum out, and his brothers. I admired that about him, although the pressure didn't help his drinking

I agree with that! It feels like the new gang was brought in this time so they could move front and center next season. But I don’t think they’re interesting enough to take over. I’d rather stick to the originals and see Brittany and Jax just make infrequent guest appearances.
