Hamburger Alert - Jennifer Carpenter

If you missed the initial post, or need a refresher on the Hamburger Scale, please go HERE

I have a new obsession and he goes by the name of Dexter.  I've been avoiding him for years and I can't even remember why.  Maybe because I couldn't get Michael C. Hall's Six Feet Under role out of my head, or the idea of watching a show about serials killers weirded me out.  Either way, please forgive me when I say I was sooooooo wrong! I started over the Holidays and now find myself on Episode 9 of Season 4, waiting on the Brother to burn the rest of 4 and all of 5.  I'm desperate to find out what happens next (no spoilers)!  Who knew the good Reverend Shaw Moore could be so insane (please readers, tell me you understand that reference)?

From episode to episode you constantly surprise me.  BUT, one thing is for certain.  The following words will come out of my mouth in EVERY episode "Good lord, she needs a hamburger!" By her, I mean Jennifer Carpenter.

She definitely needs 2 burgers plus a milkshake and some cheese fries!  Here's another view in case you don't watch and need more proof.

If you follow gossip, you know her and Michael C. Hall were married, but split this past fall.  Their divorce is one that deeply saddens me.  They fought his cancer together and I so want to believe they are both good people. Rumor is Julia Stiles may have had something to do with it, or is now enjoying herself a little sumpin sumpin, resulting in drama on the set.  Jennifer didn't even attend the Golden Globes.  Julia did though...questionable?

Regardless, woman needs some burgers!

Yes to everything you just said. That is unfortunate that they split after his fight with cancer. She could use a hamburger deep fried in the Colonel's secret spices. Seriously, I have a gag reaction whenever they show her scantily clad.

Finally, SEASON 4 WAS THE BEST OF THEM ALL!!! That is not a spoiler, it is a fact.

Meagan said...

Yes! Hamburger alert! She looks like Tori spelling, another hamburger alert. I need to watch Dexter maybe when the baby comes. But will that make him a serial killer?

fojoy said...

I could not agree more! I also just found Dexter, and cannot stop watching.
I was hoping they would make it too, but maybe MCH thinks she needs a burger too...

Katie said...

She needs more than 2 burgers, a shake, and cheese fries.....I'm gonna go with one of everything on In-n-Out's menu. :-)

Love me Dexter though!

I thought the exact same thing about Michael C. Hall. I loved him on Six Feet Under and I don't know if I can see him playing a totally different character. Also I'm not that in to murder. But my real life tv bff just watched the first season and said it was awesome so I might have to give it a try. And yeah she needs a hamburger. Oh and yeah although I don't know Jennifer Carpenter at all I really wanted their marriage to work.

Or, perhaps that's just how her body naturally is. People who are anorexic are far worse and have no muscle definition at all (I've worked with girls with eating disorders at a behavior health facility). If you've seen Jennifer without a shirt, it's clear she has very defined abs, something unhealthily skinny people don't have.She must be just an avid runner with fast metabolism.

I was so sad to hear that they split. I thought they were a great couple and if it's Julia's fault then she is just a no-talent hoar.

I love Jennifer but she's a total lollypop head. She always has been. One of my favorite movies is Quarantine and she was scary skinny is that too.

Tara said...

Wow. I never realized how tiny she is. My dream is to one day be featured here so i'll know i've officially caught the skinnies. Lol.

I triple hearts Dexter. It's the best show on tv. I was sad to hear they split. Julia Stiles made a statement saying she had nothing to do with it. I hope she didn't. Apparently he's a cheater though. He cheat on his first wife with Jennifer. And there's cheating rumors on set whether it's with Julia or not.

I don't watch dexter, but I know that's Ariel's reverend dad in Footloose! :) I do need to get on the dexter bandwagon though... i hear it's not to be missed.

foxy said...

And yes, she def needs a burger. Or five. Sheesh!

Alta said...

Ugh. I don't get all the skinny hate or any body shape hate. She's clearly built that way with no health problems. I'm 5'9 and 120lbs but I eat junk food more than I need to (yes, I've had my share of burgers, milkshakes and onion rings). She may not be the typical American shape of being 5'4" and a size 14, so maybe that's why I guess people are so up in arms about her body.

Anyway, I love her. She should've been nominated for a golden globe instead of julia stiles.

Meagan said...

5'4" and size 14 is the average american?

Jennifer Brummett said...

La la la la la la. I don't want to hear bad things about Dexter and Debra and especially that they are married. I can't believe I haven't stalked them on IMDB.com but clearly I haven't. Anyway, as you know I've also been catching up on seasons 1-4. FYI: I finished episodes 1-3 today. And I basically have seen season 5 but did miss some of the first few episodes (mainly because I was just getting reeled in but my attention wasn't fully caught yet). Anyway, good stuff and yes Debra Morgan does need a hamburger.

Now I'm off to research Michael C. Hall and Jennifer What's-Her-Name. I guess since they play brother and sister not to mention the few hot sex scenes with Julie Benz from Season 2 or 3 makes it a little awkward for me to process them as a couple. I guess you could say I take their character roles seriously.

Alta said...

@Meagan. Yes, that height and weight is the average for an American woman. You can look it up.

Crazy Shenanigans-JMO said...

I don't watch the show but she definitely needs to stop and In & Out and grab a burger and some fries for good measure.

MiMi said...

I've been holding off on watching Dexter too. I'm partly afraid that I will love it and then that might mean I'm a serial killer? IDK.
In that second picture of her? Look at her arm?? That thing is WEIRD!

Liz said...

She looks like she can barely stand in the weight of the dress in the last photo!

The Random Blogette said...

Now from the front she doesn't look too bad. Turn her to the side and she almost disappears!

cornflakegirl74 said...

Awww that's sad :( She's definitely way too skinny.

I have yet to watch this show, but I have season one at home on DVD. I've heard so many great things!

Cathy said...

So I don't watch Dexter. I've been told to start watching ASAP. I'm currently obsessed with MONK. I know, my nerd is showing.

Cathy said...

Also, some people seem to be taking your Hamburger Alerts a little too seriously.

michelle said...

ohhh honey. she may need 3 burgers (are half burgers allowed? maybe 2.5 would be appropriate to start) :(

gopopgo said...

I could use a hamburger and milkshake too. Not because I'm too skinny but just b/c they are awesome.
