In economic news today, Forbes reports that it’s still MOB: Money Over Bitches!! Read more of our 60 Days In recaps here! It’s Episode 4 of 60 Days In, and the show has really hit its stride with “Fight Face.” I no longer care that Robert is probably an actor planted in the cast.

What I’m Wondering After The Little Women: Atlanta Reunion

After a season of reality TV, it’s good to have a reunion to get the deets on what’s gone down since the cameras turned off. Are the feuds still raging? Have friendships rekindled?
