Cool! A new breed of Houstonian, the "InnerBelter". LOL

That IS a ring. In fact, I like "the Ringers".

I didn't leave it behind. I found more of it.

The house they are building is in Knollwood Village, so at least now they are ITL.

Yeah, I'd heard they were building a house in a nicer part of Houston in the Loop. I swear I think I saw here one day driving toward the TMC down Fannin downtown. It was the same black Audi SUV that she drives. The person driving (for lack of a better description) looked REALLLLY tiny...

...it took a few minutes after she passed to realize who I (potentially) had just seen...

Cool, I love that show. I missed that ep though.

She actually delivered my friend's triplets. They showed it in one of the eps, I think it was called "Houston We Have a Problem." My friend said Dr. Arnold was really super cool.

I hope being on a reality TV show doesn't change them, as has happened with some other TLC personalities I could name. :/

I think Mr. Klein and Dr. Arnold will be okay.

Most other reality shows feature people who have little to no talent and who are trying to become rich and famous via TV and that delusion is what leads to their downfall. If their show goes away, typically so does their fame and fortune. That's what makes them famewhores doing everything they can to keep the spotlight on them and the money coming in, and that it is ultimately what changes them.

But Bill and Jen both already have solid careers and a strong sense of self and don't need TV to make them successful or to feel special. It's just one comparatively minor aspect of their lives and aso odds are good that they won't have a need to go out famewhoring to keep the spotlight tuned on and the gravy train rolling after their show has run its course.

The Little Couple show makes Houston look good, both literally and figuratively.

My wife is a Peds resident at Baylor/TCH, so she works with Jen Arnold off and on. She says Jen is one of the nicest people, and is very good about making sure that if anyone doesn't want to be on camera she'll send the crew away.
