I love the fact that Kim's scoffing the people who are going to call her jealous while wailing "IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ME!"

I hope my brother is as cool as Rob when I decide to get married. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

I love how all the ads for this were like "The wedding you never saw coming... is the television event you can't miss." False! I was able to somehow hold myself back from watching it, knowing that the juiciest highlights would be on Jezebel the next day. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

Uhm, Kim has already been married once before. Is she just upset that her wedding wasn't featured on a cable reality show?

You know I was pretty upset* when my baby brother announced that he was getting married shortly after my ex and I broke up, so while I guess I understand how Kim feels, she is sure being obnoxious about it. However, Khloe's brother seems pretty awesome, so I guess it evens itself out, right?

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: I think it's a normal reaction too. But it's pretty tacky to talk about it all openly in front of your family (and TV cameras). It's the kind of thing you talk to your best friend about in private. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Also, I think discussing it with your parents is fine. They probably want to know how you're feeling and want to take steps if they can to help you out with it all, But the way Kim was blabbing on in front of her brother and everything was tacky. She didn't need to put the other siblings in that awkward position where they may feel compelled to take sides. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

In reply to Keeping Up With The Kardashians: Khloe Getting Married
I keep falling for this family! I think because even with all the superficiality they still seem somewhat genuine with a real love for one another. Sometimes their fights remind me of the ones my sister and I have...except for those about getting married to rich sport stars.

Theory: I think Lamar Odom watched the show and said "hey, that seems like a cool family to be in." He talked about how he didn't have anyone growing up and now he's got the Brady Bunch. Did you notice how excited he was when the sisters said when you marry Khloe you marry her sisters! haha. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

@FashionIntel: Same. I'm repusled by the Hollywood values and lifestyle, but I find their family dynamic genuine, as much as it can be in RealityLand.

Lamar does seem to be very nice (woohoo New York guy!) and down-to-earth, but his manager sitting right next to him at their shower whispering into his ear made me uncomfortable. Little too Jerry McGuire for my tastes.

And leaving out the man who raised her from childhood in the beginning as her guide down the aisle? Wow, really messed up. Yeah, Bruce Jenner is a whole other Wheatie Box of dysfunction, but that shit was cold! Unless it was staged for effect, since she did relinquish at the end. Still...cold! #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

@FashionIntel: Really? They come across to me as the most miserable, unhappy family I've ever seen, who could not be less supportive of each other's successes. Khloe and Kourtney did nothing but jealously bitch about Kim in the first seasons when Kim would have photo shoots and they would have to work at their clothing store. Maybe it's calmed down sine Kourtney got pregnant and Khloe got married and they can finally land their own Life & Style covers. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

@FashionIntel: They came into our office when they were pitching a book, and I can't lie, I genuinely loved them. You can tell that they're sisters, and not just that they're sisters but that they're incredibly close. And they have this funny, teasing dynamic that I really like, and that reminded me of my sister. So now, no matter how fake this show gets, I still love them. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

Wow. Kim actually scared me in clip 4. It was all very Cinderella-evil-stepsister-esque. Scary. Although, Khloe didn't really have to go there and say, "You wish you were Queen of the Day"--no matter how true that might be. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

I think my favorite part of this episode was the promos talking about the "wedding you didn't see coming!"

Yeah, unless you don't read any celebrity gossip mags or wedding mags or watch the E! network or VH1 or follow celebrity blogs...and if you're watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians, there is a 100% chance that you do at least one of those things. #keepingupwiththekardashiansthe...

This is definitely true for my family. I am probably the most naturally smart/able to skate by, while my middle sister, who is far more diligent and hardworking, often performs better because she's willing to put in the effort. My younger sister has a lot of issues with book smarts, but she is WAY more popular than either of us ever were. She's one of the mean kids in middle school, while I was one of the ones who got picked on, or at least, ignored.

I remember realizing in middle school that almost ALL of the "popular" kids had an older sibling. I'm not sure why -- I hope I've been there for my sister to advise her against disastrous outfits and makeup in ways no one did for me, etc., but it is interesting to think about.

Pretty much everyone in my family has some form of depression or anxiety. I got treatment, my brother refused. I finished college, but he, despite his full ride, did not. I don't know how that happened. My dad even told me once he always thought I'd have "more trouble" in school. Thanks, Dad.

I am the middle child. However, my older brother screwed up, and continues to be a pretty big mess on a regular basis. So I am on track for grad school, and he spent the last 6 years working on an associate's degree which he probably won't ever finish. And my little brother is a lot closer to my end of the spectrum. For those of us who had older siblings who couldn't get it together, this argument doesn't work. We're the ones seeking the approval and working our asses off; however, for me the nag factor was never there. I was motivated to NOT EVER be my brother. It's so interesting to see how me and my younger brother are so similar, and my older brother is off setting fires in his life right and left. I think it has a lot more to do with the child/teenager than nurturing.

Between me and my sister, I got the short end of the genetic stick. She's smarter, cuter, and more successful than I'll ever be. So I made up for it in typical little sibling fashion: Fucking up all through high school. Awww yeah.

Is noone on here a youngest? I'm the 2nd of 2. My older brother had dyslexia and was given a lot of slack with his gardes but we always did the same. We even got the same at Uni. He's a teacher, married, owns his own house and I'm sitting in my mothers house right after a massive row about how I have no ambition.

Plus actually all three of us were wild growing up, my mother sometimes said feral. And prone to running into trouble. I'm the most academically successful though and the only one with a traditional university degree and graduate degrees and that probably is due to wanting to make my father proud as the eldest.

Ugh, I hate this. I have such issues with being the younger sister...I'm always comparing myself to my sister, who I've always felt was prettier, smarter, more competitive, and more successful than I am. Maybe it's just my low self esteem, but I always looked up to her as a kid, and even now, and it's been discouraging (she's also kind of a bitch, for real). And then she sends me links to scientific studies saying that first-borns are smarter, taller (she is), and more succesful...UGH. I've decided that I'm just going to do my thing and try not to think about it.

@randomnessish: Dude, I feel you, and I'm the older sister! I've always had massive envy issues because my sister is so much thinner, prettier and infintely more popular than me (and she gets away with murder). Trust, your sis almost certainly compares herself to you as well, even if she doesn't admit it.
