Updates on Past Contestants - All Seasons - Discussion - #3

Aria wrote:@Stacia620 It's definitely true. It's hard for me to even feel bad for Danielle, because his narcissistic, misogynistic douchebaggery was well-documented. I didn't even watch his show and in a few simple clicks from reddit, I could see that he was a jackazz who would treat her like sh*t. Knowing what she said about her ex, Danielle just strikes me as someone who is deliberately oblivious when it comes to relationships and then is shocked when it blows up in her face. IMO.

The fact that she made excuses for his behavior on Big Brother by saying "it was the editing" showed me that she really didn't care to learn more about him. There are plenty of YT videos out there of his antics in the house from the live feeds that never made the TV show. When I heard they were dating, I knew it wouldn't end well.

The Courtney-Lily video was a needed comic relief with all the other news of late in this thread.

Meredith - I always loved Ian but deep down, I knew it was a big gamble for them to make it. Meredith has always seemed vulnerable and I can only think this show deepened that insecurity.

Lindsay - such a great person. She is so young to lose her dad, who also must have been young. I can only imagine the highs and lows she must be feeling. I hope her husband treats her with TLC as post-pregnancy hormones and grief are not good together.

Danielle, I think she needs self-love before she can find her HEA with a man who knows how to treat a woman. She's got a lot to give - just get out of the reality TV world and be kind to yourself.

Courtney and Lily - I, too, am feeling they were overly confident about finding work in LA. It has to be stressful but I hope they succeed. Courtney seems to have a great resume and I would hope that ABC/Fleiss would help open doors for him. But I love how real they are. I also think not living together is good for their relationship and their commitment to making it in LA.

I happened to stumble across Samantha's IG account and realized that every single photo is of her. No food. No scenery. Only of her and mostly lingerie shots. Wow. We must think very highly of ourselves. Sheesh. Jmo.

She looks a little different to me. I wonder if she has had some facial work done?

Congratulations to Kelly and Hunter! What a little cutie!


kellytravisty He’s here and he’s obviously perfect. Henry Steven Hamm, born 6.5.18 and weighing 7lb 15oz. Yes, I know he looks just like his dad, but I’ll gladly take the womb title for this guy

What a cutie! He does look like his dad! Love the name. Some old traditional names are making a come back, which I like so much more than names that can't be pronounced or spelt correctly.

Henry, period. Love it!

I don't think this has been posted - Reid Rosenthal and his wife Brooke welcomed a baby girl yesterday - Vivian Blake Rosenthal. There's a photo on his Twitter feed that I don't know how to bring over.

@OnlyOne thanks for posting! I will update our Bach Babies thread. I knew they were the next ones to welcome their bundle of joy, and she certainly is adorable!

Congrats to Reid and family!

Aww what a beauty!

Both babies are cute and both have throwback names. Congrats to the happy families.
