Albie's 'Last Supper' Reaction: Hear from Caroline's son about the dinner table drama!

1 of 2 pages

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time out to read this!

First off, I got a couple questions about the shirt I wore at the finale. It is from crescenttie.com, the designer is a friend of the family and has a really great line of clothes for both men and women. I suggest you check his stuff out.

What do I think about the book?

I couldn't care less about the book, at the end of the day it was written 25 years ago. Danielle's past is none of my business.

What was I thinking when Danielle brought the book out?

I couldn't stop saying to myself, "Is she really going to do this here?" I don't see the point in showing up to a dinner party if your intention is to cause a problem. She makes it very clear in her interviews that this was a calculated move on her part, and she went to the dinner with the sole intention of bringing up the book. Don't get me wrong, I think Danielle had every right to explain herself if she chose to. She certainly didn't owe anyone in that room an explanation. But there's a time and a place for that, and the dinner was neither. There were several people in the room that had nothing to do with any of that nonsense, so why put each of them in such an awkward position? Does anyone think that it was easy for Lex and Ashley to watch their mothers scream at each other? Or for Uncle Chris to watch his wife argue with his sisters? I just can't wrap my head around the fact that a person could actually think the need to "clear something up," transcends the feelings of others in the room, especially the kids. Her own daughters said they "felt scared" and "wanted to help" I just don't get how anyone could put a child in that position. This whole thing could have been dealt with privately, all this "pain" and "embarrassment" could have been easily avoided if, you know, it wasn't addressed on national television. But hey what's done is done, and let's be honest I think we're all kind of ok with the fact the table flipped now aren't we?

: 07/27/2009 - 4:14pm; Karen Gawlak; Please find out where oh where your mom purchased the MONKEY fruit bowl in her kitchen. I searched the web only to find tons of others looking for the same answer!! It would be GREAT if you could find out for us. P.S. I think you are really blessed to be in such a wonderful, loving, and real family. God Bleass!

: 07/23/2009 - 5:32pm; VIEWER; First off, I want to say I absolutely love the show!!! Your mother has got to be one of the funniest people I have ever seen.
She does not put up with anything at all and she proved that on the night of the dinner at the restaurant. If Danielle was smart, she would have came out about this book when she first met your mother and her friends. Its like she is a middle aged woman with the mind of a teenager. Some people just need to grow up and think that life does not revolve around them. cant wait for season 2 to premiere.

Who is this Frieda chick? "you are a lovely young man"??? are you sure this isn't your brother or sister playing a joke on you Albie? I didn't think women talked like that anymore, I figured they were all dead by now....I think they used that phrase back in the sixties...

I love your family! Yours would get along with mine any day.

It is surprising though by how many people get riled up about reality TV, when they have the freedom and the power to hit the OFF button on their remote if they so chose and fix their families instead.

: 07/06/2009 - 9:01am; Frieda; Albie, you're a lovely young man getting a wonderful education at an amazing institution of higher learning. Thank goodness that will keep you away from silly girls who think flipping tables is "hot" (which they can't even spell). As a lawyer you know the value of presenting a compelling, factual argument to support your position. A person whose only justification for their stand is that others are "jealous" is not only juvenile, but is unable to defend their position - maybe because trashy actions are supported by uneducated twits who can't present valid arguments. As several other bloggers have said, stick with women you can take with you as you climb the legal ladder - foul-mouthed table flippers do not qualify and will only embarass you and derail your career. Good luck -I know you'll always make your mother very proud.
