Craziest thing about Jeanette/Derick episode...

...was that i fully believe Jeanette would have STILL been cool with going after Derick when she found out he was under age and a high schooler...

It was pretty obvious she was totally into "Derick" because of his looks alone..

The relationship she and her daughter had was very bizarre. Especially that bit at the end when they were both doing the booty-licious thing with Nev..

I know Derick lied, but ultimately i feel like she was a much more likable person then Jeanette was.

Jeanette was delusional. She is in her 40s and those pics were clearly of a young man in his late teens or early 20s and she was seriously contemplating marriage and having a children with him.

But by the end of the episode, I actually felt that Jeanette could possibly get with Dericka someday. Jeanette did say that she has spoken with Dericka a few times since the confrontation. I have actually seen women like Dericka (very butch) turn older women with children like Jeanette into lesbians.

How exactly does one turn into a lesbian?

You know that bisexuality is a thing that exists, right?

Samuraibro....of course I know bisexuality exists. But what does that have to do with a lesbian. They are two entirely different things.

I just don't understand how Jeanette talked to "Derrick" for all these months and couldn't tell that that was a woman's voice over the phone. I knew right away when Nev called "Derrick" for the first time.

My wife and i thought that too. It was really obvious that was a woman!

Same here. The moment we heard "Derick's" voice, my wife and I both said: "That's a woman".

My ma is the SAME way. You are right on. It's all about how young she looks how ppl think they are sisters (gag). It's such narcissism.

She was going through a midlife crisis. She loved that her and her daughter looked like sisters, and she was proud that she was able to get a younger guy. I don't think she would've been ok with him being underaged though, she seemed upset when she thought she might've been talking to the kid, and when she said you had me lusting after a 17 year old.

Don't want to be mean but Jeanette is HIGHLY unattractive. Yuck. And she dressed like she was 19 years old.

This is first time an episode made me cry. It was wrong what Derick did and Jeanette was hurt. I commend her for bowing out graciously and becoming friends with this young lady. Kuddos

WHO DAT!
