If this was a show where I even slightly believed that Stacey would end up with one of her suitors, I'd care. It is quite clear however, that she will not end up with any of them long term and thus I am subjected to images like these for no reason.
Stacey is concerned because she's close in age to Travis' mother, Colt has two brothers with whom he's really close, Adam's family is really traditional and Jimmy comes from a big Italian family and they'll be drinking wine all night.
After their talk, Stacey goes outside in her robe (wasn't she just dressed?) and pointlessly drinks a cup of coffee. Looks like our celebrity status seeking starlet is auditioning for a new part.
Travis' family is the first to meet Stacey. Travis' mom is Susan who is 48 and she has an interesting take on Stacey's appearance.
I find it hard to believe that she is anti-tall boots and hair considering that the camera pans to the right and-
Yes! Little Becky, Travis sister, is fully decked out in tall boots and hair! Looks the pot's mother is calling the son's kettle black. In all fairness, Becky is a lot younger and maybe Susan thinks an older woman should dress more like her. At this point I'd totally rip apart Susan's outfit but she looks pretty damn hot and I hope she's cast for Season 2. Actually, I hope they stop the episode now and re-cast Susan in place ofStacey and do the whole season over with Susan's head, body and personality superimposed over Stacey's. Although that might make some of the kissing scenes with Travis a little awkward. Who am I kidding? That'd still be an improvement for this show.
As the family rips into Stacey, Travis erroneously describes his family as the nicest people ever. Of course, they're all smiles when it's time to shake hands and whatnot. Mom shakes Stacey's hand and the cougar pulls her in for a hug. As soon as Stacey saw Travis' brother Jackson, she practically hurled Susan across the room in search of more suitable prey.
Their meeting goes something like this.
Okay, Susan's not really in recovery. She actually agreed and said she wished she'd had a cocktail too. Kinda awkward. Susan then finds out that Stacey is 40 and says that Stacey could be Travis' mother.
Stacey is a little miffed but dude, it's true. As a matter of fact, you have a 23 year old daughter!! That's the downside of reproducing before you can legally drive. Stacey says that Travis is mature for his age and his family laughs as do I. C'mon, this kid is borderline IMMATURE for his age. Stacey uses the same old excuse that guys her age are too boring and complacent. Then she announces that she has four kids and reveals their ages. The family collectively drops their jaws and Susan immediately takes Stacey aside for some one on one time. I really wish this fucking show would just end right now. I try not to curse when I write but I am so fed up with this. TV Land and Stacey can not possiby think that this is right. A 40 year old mother of four explaining to a 47 year old mother of three that she wants her son? Really? Anyway, Susan grills Stacey a little and then talks to Travis. Travis says that Stacey makes him want to get a job and be an adult. She keeps it real and encourages him to think about how much older Stacey's old ass is gonna get.

Haven't seen the show (and don't care), but your recap was a great read. Thanks.

I love your recaps. Unfortunately, I do watch this thing they call a show. It's like a car wreck, you can't look away. The kissing, at the end, is the worst.
