Thanks duck soup, I THINK I found them. They might be different because these are toys called Rainbow Reef Fish which should be tub safe. However, I plan to rewatch the show at 1:30 this afternoon JUST to make sure. (As if I need a reason to rewatch).

They even make Rainbow Reef turtles and Beta fish, I need a pool or a bigger bathtub.

ETA: Picked a better link for the fishies.

I was totally loving the fish also. I have three cats and I know they'd flip for that thing. Thanks for the link!

Anyway, KC is the biggest dolt. EVER. Honestly, Nick is going to have to physically put her out before she ever gets the hint.

Also, I wanted to slap Jessica when she and KC were out driving and Jess rolled her eyes and told KC to follow the car's directions instead of Nicks. What. A. Bitch. Like she could find her way out of a parking lot.

The fish was the coolest thing on this show.

The clever editors made sure to show all those BFF pictures of Jessica and Casey, and Jess, Casey and Nick that now clutter the desktops and are pushing aside the pictures of Nick and Jessica. She's never going to leave at this rate. She and Jessica are turning into symbiotes and Nick will have to physically uproot her.

Who out there thinks that there will be an episode of Nick moving KC out of the house? When I say moving her out, I mean doing the work for her; packing, lifting, etc.

It must suck for him to be the least clueless in the house. If ignorance is bliss then being the one who knows what's up is just painful.

He moved her in, I'm sure he will be moving her out.

Does anyone notice how out of sequence the episodes are? The dinner at the end w/ Nick was the same day as the audition earlier in the episode.
But in the middle of the episode, Jessica was wearing a green juicy sweatsuit and watching TV.
Also - the lunch/dinner w/ Cacey at the mexican place was the same day as jessica did the photo shoot from last week's episode - same heavy makeup and outfit.

I just wish Casey would stop saying “back in Texas [fill in the blank].” Ugh!

What an embarrassment. Actually, the entire Simpson family is an embarrassment to Texas.

Oh my God, that was SO annoying!

"My dishwasher in Texas would have cleaned it"

I was speechless. If I were Nick I would have shoved that pot right up her ass. Not only is that the most inane thing I have ever heard in my life, but its pretty damned rude as well.

What happened to all of the furniture in the movie room? Didn't Jessica do a whole MTV special when she decorated it?

I thought it was funny when Nick was messing with Jessica by the pool and she freaked out when he put the tail of the pool cleaning fish near her butt crack!

If she is scared of having a plastic fish near her ass, then I wish her good luck for later in marriage when Nick will bring some "equipment" into the bedroom to spice things up!

"Nick, why is there a tubey thing with feathers on the end of it in our bedroom?"

I have an econmy size bottle of brain bleach if anyone needs it. :)

They were absolutely watching Britney's Showtime concert, and it cracked my shit up. What's really sad is that I know exactly what part of the concert they were watching (Breathe On Me) because it's so snarkalicious that I had to Tivo and rewatch about 5 times.

On another level, Jessica sitting around her house watching an actual successful pop star perform a live sold-out concert for Showtime is pretty sad. Hilarious, but sad.

My baby sister and her friends are more well behaved than Cacee and Jessucka. (They are in first grade) It seems to me they can act stupid all they want but when Nick tries to joke around like with the fish Jessucka gets all whiney and pissy.

HEE the mortgage comment cracked me up. What we need to remember is we are only seeing bits and pieces, maybe it took a lot of pent up anger for him to say that. Or maybe he is just an asshole. Either way I don't care.

Word to the Cacee wanting Nick's cock. I called that last season, actually I think he wants Cacee too! When in Rome...

There have been numerous reports that Jessica's concert has been a real let down as far as her vocals go. Many reviewers have been saying (like we do here) that she is all about the physical flailing and facial contortions but her voice just is not measuring up. Also, she seems to be using her concert as a platform for her "wiat-until-you're-married" mantra. Apparently, she takes all kinds of time to talk about how to find your "Prince Charming" to the young girls in the audience instead of, you know, singing.

Her days are so numbered.

I thought the same thing. I think that's the first time they've even showed that room. I bet Nick sold all the couches on eBay.

I hate Jessica as much as the next person, but she is quite pretty when she's without makeup and has wet hair. Britney looks like death run over when she's not done up with 9734lbs of makeup.

Apparently she also shows numerous clips from the show throughout the concert. At least she knows that's all she's got going for her.

So, basically, I could go buy "In This Skin" with the bonus DVD of Newlyweds footage, and play the CD as I watch the DVD on mute, and get the gist of the show, minus Jessica's epileptic song delivery and overly breathy, flat heaving of the material?

I don't know if anything about this was posted upthread, but a friend of mine forwarded me an email from Jessica's fan club, talking about concert packages being sold for this tour -- the packages that included front row seats to a show went for something like $500. I very nearly ruined a lovely pair of velour sweats, I was laughing so hard.

Edited because "breathly" isn't chicken, tuna, or a real word. Damn if I'm not going to submit it to Miriam-Webster, along with "ballerino", though.

I have a question. On the 1st episode of this new season, Jessica talks about her "black card" and how they're not doing it anymore since they have all the customers they need. I call bullshit on this, but I haven't seen anyone else mention it upthread. I just can't imagine that after Jessica Simpson, they are now complete and not in need of anymore clients. Anyone know anything about this?

See, I interpreted it as MTV suggesting he was the character trying so hard to hide his homosexuality behind a hipster person a la Mr. Furley.

I'm in the business of investments/finance and I know for a fact this is a shit story. Jessica will definately not be the last one to get a black card. Besides black cards are stoooooooopid!! Congratulations Jessica your part of an elite group that spents way too much money on stupid shit!

Anyone else have a feeling of foreshadowing watching Nick drive that rental truck and clean the garage? Future job training for the guy.

I agree with all of the missers-of-Drew. The best part of this show was watching Drew and Nick being so the opposite of Jessica and just being brothers.

I am so glad that someone brought up 'ballerino.' Since Nick wasn't around to correct her I almost thought maybe she was right. I also found myself wondering what a bratwurst was made out after she had lunch with mom. I don't eat it so I didn't know either.

Someone mentioned that it was sad to see that Jessica and Nick were watching Britney Spears' concert. I think what was great was that they weren't sitting there judging, snickering or comparing. Who doesn't check out there competition? Everyone wants to know what they are up against.

The Black Card is a elite card and it has been stated that they will only have a relatively small number of card holders. This is in order to keep it elite and make the card holders feel "extra special". The people holding black cards had to be specially invited to get one and you don't have to just sign up. It shows up in a black velvet box.

It has a unlimited credit limit. You can buy anything on it. I read about one incident where a card holder wanted a limited edition Porshe, thanks to his card he received it before everyone else and just charged it to the card.

This little card can get you:
Personal Assistance Anywhere
Personal shoppers at Neiman Marcus and Saks
Match Making service to other card holders
Duty free allowance increases

I believe you have to spend a certain amount of money every year to be eligible and stay eligible for it.

Phenobarbara, that is sick. Sick and wrong. It's one thing to be proud of your daughter for waiting until she's married - but this is quite another.


Kate QD, maybe they've seen how helpless Jessucka is and are now tring to "right the wrongs," if you will. Just a guess though.

But is it like other Amex cards in that you have to pay it off immediately or pay some serious penalties?

ETA:Lacke, I would hope that would be the case, but I think that sgiving her 'rents way too much credit. Possibly Ashlee's just a bit mature.

You beat me to KateQD. I was about to say that as far as I know, no Amex card has a limit, meaning you can buy whatever you want as long as you pay the bill at the end of the month. But this one may be unlimited PLUS allows financing.

True, KateQD. After all, we are talking about skeevy Pa Simpson...

I hope Jessica's mother is watching the show season. She's the only one who can come in and kick that Cacee temptress the hell out of her daughter's life and back to Texas.

Well fiddle-dee-dee: the Black Card.

[anal nitpick] The American Express Blue card does have a credit limit and you do not have to pay it in full every month. [/anal nitpick]

Topic? Jessucka isn't responsible enough to keep track of her credit cards. I fear for her children.

I had a relationship with a guy like that once. He was a fraternity brother of the guy I was dating at the time. We traded insults constantly. We snarled about one another to other people when we weren't together. We had a huge fight one night at a party, where we screamed at each other and yelled that we hated each other.

We celebrated eight years of marriage in May.

maggiegault, that is awesome.

I can see what y'all are saying about the sexual tension. But Nick would be trading in one brain-dead harpy for another if he went that route. Sure hope he doesn't. Free yourself, Nick, and run off with...well...anybody but those two.

And it's still beyond rude to get that casual about someone's hospitality.

I have a love/hate relationship with my best friends husband, I guess some could consider that flirting but not really for us. Of course this season we have seen more of the hate and less of the love with Nick and Spacee

I didn't believe the black card existed a while back, so I did some research. I appears (or did at the time) that you have to charge at least $150,000 per year on a platinum card in order to be invited. (This was a couple of years ago, so it may have gone up in order to be more exclusive. Also, the annual fee was in the thousands of dollars.) How many sets of $1400 sheets and $750 pairs of panties is that? WTF are they spending all this money on, since MTV I'm sure picks up the tab for show related things, or at least did during the first season? She does seem to buy a lot of magazines, but really!

Nick needs to pack Casey's shit up and put it outside the front door. She's just vile. I think Nick truly hates her, so regardless if she has the thigh sweats for him or not, I don't see it happening.

I hope Jessica knows that anyone can use the personal shopper service for free at Neiman Marcus, not just the Amex Black Card holders.




Can you imagine if Nick and Spacey CaCee hooked up and decided they "loved" each other?
I can just see the title of the next season of this show: "Newlyweds: Nick and CaCee" at 10pm, followed by the "The Jessica Simpson Show:Life of a clueless divorcee" at 10:30pm.

prettyprincess, I SO needed a laugh today. Thanks for providing it.

Can you just see Jessucka in divorce court? "Why do I need a baliff? I don't need anyone to pay my bail! Court of last resort? What, are all of the other ones taken already? Is it a clay court?"

Nah, I just think that Nick grew up as an average guy in an average family and actually had chores and work to do growing up and he never lost that sense of common responsibility. That is why he always tries to take care of everything himself, (i.e. moving his video game himself with Drew, moving his furniture himself with Drew, cleaning up the garage himself, moving freeloading Casey's shit, killing the bees, covering the pool, etc). I am glad he does that kind of stuff himself and never became a primadonna now that he has money. Jessica is like that enough for the whole neighborhood.

About Casey living there...whenever you bring a third person, especially another woman into a marriage setting you are ASKING FOR TROUBLE. Get that girl outta there ASAP! I too saw a little "I want you Nick" in her eyes even though she was really REALLY trying to hide it. At first I though Nick may really dislike her but then later on it seemed more like he was trying too hard which leads me to think that maybe he would go for her too at some point. After all he IS a guy...but then again he has a good thing going with Jessica so he would be super stupid to act on anything with Spacey.

That upgrade to the Concord will be so useful.

maggiegault wow, peoples lives really can be like a sitcom!

Word. It's bad for other reasons too--if CaySee is there constantly to be Jessica's confidante, then Jessica won't confide as much in Nick. It already seems like that loss of intimacy is a problem.

I thought it was funny when Nick brought up KSee at the restaurant, and Jessica said, "Get fired up!" It seems to be KayCee's signature expression.

I don't think they're exactly bringing a person "into the marriage," she's a houseguest. I don't understand why it'd be a problem to have a houseguest, who's a good friend, even for an extended period, if you're not short on space, which they're clearly not. Even Nick doesn't seem to think her presence is really a problem, it's that she's a dumb bitch, kind of like his wife.

Speaking of, I was watching this episode, and the girls were laying on the couch while Nick was in the other room and ...it just hit me that they don't have books.

Have we ever seen them reading a book? Any of them? Have we ever seen a book in the damned house? It's bizarre. I don't recall ever seeing a book there, let alone a bookcase. I've seen her with her magazines, but they're all 90% pictures and 50-word blurbs. It's freaking me out people!!!

Jessica made some mention of Danielle Steel when she and Nick were camping with Drew and Leah. I'm not sure we ever saw her reading the book, but I think we saw her holding it at one point. I've never read any of that kind of, um, literature, so I'll leave the judgements for those of you who have.

I've not read her books either, but from what I understand they are geared towards bored housewives. If the shoe fits....

After reading that article yesterday about her concert I wonder how great their marriage actually is. If she is really building it up into this amazing love affair like he says she is, then I have to imagine it isnt that wonderful. Its like how JLo always talks about how normal she still is, if she has to keep saying it over and over, then you know she's totally not. Anyone else think this?

I'll back you up on that one.

KateQD - I totally agree with this. I am always suspicious of couples that are really affectionate in public and need to tell everyone how great they get along, have great sex, etc. If you have talk about it all the time, you probably aren't getting it.

I like that Nick does work around the house and does thing like make his own pool cover (although it turned out rather lame). It shows that he finds value in "real" work and doesn't need to be a big baby all the time (I'm talking to you Jessica!).

Agreed. I think she was just too young and immature to get married when she did. I'm sure they really do love each other, but having your married life on t.v. and open to dissection and scrutiny wouldn't bode well for anyone.

I know its been mentioned before, but her rendition of "Angels" makes baby Jesus cry. Never before has it been so obvious that yelling and singing are not the same thing. I think my future husband, Robbie Williams is also very upset. I must go make out with him to make him feel better. Goodbye!

I'm not saying that their marriage is great or not because I really don't know, but according to that article, the fans were more interested in the marriage dynamic than Jessica's actual singing. Maybe they did some market research and realized that the only way the tour would be a success is if they focused on the marriage rather than the music.

Word. Hate.J-Lo. And K.C.

This makes sense. When her album was first released and it wasn't tied to Newlyweds in anyway (just Jessucka the singer) it tanked big time. When they re-release it, it was tied in heavily with Newlyweds. There was a DVD with bonus Newlyweds footage. The video for With You featured all of Jessucka's funny little "gaffes" from the show. Suddenly, her CD is selling and her songs are jumping up the charts. So it's not surprising that they would be pushing this angle on the tour and that people would be more interested in that aspect of it.

I read some when I was a teenager. Corny, implausible trash, but not much worse than some of the TV that I now watch.
