It's funny to hear Ron say he didn't wanna do season two when they first asked because he didn't have enough time to prepare. Watching BS2, I didn't get the feel that a ton of thought was put into this either. It was fun seeing Bo and Hope again (and Paul), but overall I felt this was weak. The one thing I liked is that they created a lot of strands that can continue on the main show like Wendy/Joey, Paul/Andrew, Megan, etc. I'm excited to see what they do with those loose threads, but overall I wish they'd take this show more seriously. I hope that if another soap gets the chance at a spin-off that they treat it as an actual limited series. Most limited series have 6-8 episodes, so they could easily tell a really well written story with a small amount of characters and give us good drama. I wish they'd do that instead of trying to cram so many characters in and so many locations into 5 episodes. If I had control over BS3, I'd do a Sami centered story set outside of Salem. They can't get Allison for long stretches, so that could be a good way to tell a story over a 5 episode period that's wrapped up. Of course they'd have to change the pacing and write the episodes like a primetime show to allow passage of time, but I think that would be a more successful approach. Each season can't be about a peacock or a prism.

This is the type of reboot that should've always been done. With 90210, I get the desire to set it in high school since that was initially a high school show, but people liked Melrose Place for the characters, not the location. I would've kept it in the neighborhood, but not necessarily at the apartment complex. Now with the premise they had, there are ways they could've done it that would've worked better (like putting Taylor in Sydney's place and using her son with Michael instead of creating a new one), but that would take people who knew the show.

The show has a HW and a co-HW, but yall think the show is a mess because of Jamey? I mean, sure any writer can pitch a story, but the fault lies in the two people at the top. Jamey's position isn't big enough to change the direction of the show and I'll still maintain that Ambitions was a great show. In general I think Days has been absolutely horrific this year and BS2 is no different, but I put that blame solely where it needs to be on Ron as the main headwriter. When nothing on your show is working and you're the headwriter, it's hard to blame anybody else.

I'm loyal to GH and I've found it the most entertaining soap over the past couple years, but it's time for some new writers. I know soaps have lulls, but they've been in one for ages. There is so little story movement and with that they keep introducing new characters, new secrets and new stories while none of the previous stories are moved forward. There should always be a rotation so there is at least one major story progressing while the others simmer. It's beyond time for them to give us a fresh vision here.

I didn't believe the rumors saying Dorinda would only be a friend on RHONY: Legacy, but watching her here I get it. She truly thinks Bravo randomly put her on a pause and that it had nothing to do with her behavior. She was just awful this week, but I was happy to see how Jill handled her. I was also impressed that Brandi didn't slap the [!@#$%^&*] out of her, which she honestly deserved.

Kyle was so irritating there! Why can't she just shut up and let Erika apologize? It has nothing to do with her! We get it, you don't care about Garcelle or her kids, but if she's offended, she has a right to say that. Stay out of it! Even Rinna had her mouth shut and you know that's damn near impossible.

The most shocking thing about Kyle's statement is the complete omission of an apology when it came to Garcelle and Jax. She does mention apologizing to Sutton, but when it comes to the two Black people she merely is making excuses so she doesn't look bad. The fact that she couldn't even muster a fake "I'm sorry if I offended you" is shocking. She really doesn't seem to care.

I think Kyle is full of it when it comes to leaving. I expect her and Rinna to shed a lot of tears and do enough damage control to save their jobs. I feel like they show will need a shakeup, but Crystal, Erika, Diana and maybe Dorit will be in the most danger. I wouldn't be surprised if they let a few people go and we see the return of people like Camille, Brandi, Kim and LVP.

I think she knew. She posted before last weeks episode that she wasn't planning on watching or recapping the episode. She likely got word or remembered her behavior at Garcelle's party.

The worst part is that in Kyle's comment, she just basically blew it off even though we saw the scene of her and Dorit laughing about it. Erika also hasn't said anything and led us to believe her falling out with Garcelle was about her legal issues. Knowing what we know now, it's completely understandable why Garcelle unfollowed her and stopped being friends with her.

Oh it gets worse: I wonder how Garcelle is going to react to seeing this. ETA: Garcelle has responded.

The source of Erika and Garcelle’s feud has now been revealed: I don’t even know what to say. That was unexpected…

You can never tell with Kyle! I like to hope she's secretly turning against Rinna due to the Kathy spat and also because she see's the writing on the wall, but it's hard to tell until Kyle chooses to play her cards. If Kathy manages to survive this scandal, I feel like Kyle will side with her. It all will depend on how the audience reacts to the scandal.

I feel like a lot of the hatred for Garcelle in the cast is because she has been so popular out of the gate and doesn't really have to force moments to makep eople like her. It seems to come easy for her and she's very carefree on social media and whenever they try to stir up drama for her she just blows them off. It's obvious Lisa hates her and she probably wouldn't gone harder at the reunion, had Garcelle not revealed what she said. I strongly believe Kyle is the one who told her that. You could tell on Kyle's face that she was ready for Garcelle to reveal her. She looked incredibly nervous. Do yall think Rinna will get another season? I feel like she's in Dorinda/Kelly Dodd territory right now.

I was happy they brought her back towards the end. She was really good in the role and I think she would've been good had they kept her on contract. Much more grounded than Lindsay McKeon's version.

I actually don't find Sally dark in these early episodes. If she were going up against anybody other than Clarke I may see that, but Clarke was such a clown that I found her threatening him to be quite fun.

I never understood the obsession they had with keeping Jensen, who I didn't find to be that great. She was a good romantic lead, but hardly irreplacable. When did they make Ellen Wheeler audition for the role? Was that when Jensen was first hired or one of the times she tried to quit? I find that so odd she was an Emmy winner and they made her audition for her own role (AND she lost).

This idiot has inserted herself into this feud and is about to bigot herself out of a job. This video is also circulating now:

I'm happy to hear this and jealous at the same time! I just reached around 520 and I'm in 1989 waiting for Macy to arrive. I'm excited because I'm at a part where we're starting to get some new characters and some changes in the storylines. I'm glad to see the Logan's out and Sally Spectra has been such a good addition to the show. Literally from her first episode Darlene Conley knew exactly what she was doing and was a formidable presence. Now the one thing I will say is that Caroline has taken a complete nose dive in likability for me. I'm beyond ready for her to be killed off.

Sutton has been unbelievable this season. There's been so much pressure on her, but she's grown and can handle it. The way she has caused Diana to unravel has been amazing to watch. Diana has completely failed as a housewife. She came in with multiple salacious rumors and has done nothing to make us feel they aren't true. I believe everything bad that has been said about her and like Sutton said, she is a soulless person with a dark spirit. She's been coming for Sutton from day one and Sutton is winning. Diana looks insane. I was glad to see Garcelle call her out on WWHL. Sheree also had a very nice debut. She seemed comfortable on camera and filming with the women. I look forward to seeing how she continues to fit into the group. It's early, but I wouldn't be surrpised if she ends up sticking around.

Nene and Bravo are in negotiations to settle her lawsuit: https://pagesix.com/2022/06/28/nene-leakes-negotiating-lawsuit-with-bravo-andy-cohen/ Everybody laughed at her, but she's about to laugh all the way to the bank! Also her new show (which premiered at almost midnight) was #5 for the night and beat RHOA in the ratings. It shows there is still a demand for her. It's actually a good show as well and she's coming off very well.

I like her mom! Cassandra Creech is great. I wouldn't mind her getting her own storyline. I hope they find something better for Paris to do. Diamond White is great, but what is with these storylines? Is it really that hard to give her a love interest? Thomas is single, RJ exists, Dino exists. I just don't understand the vision for her. Brad seems to like her and he wants to write for her, but he can't seem to find a good story for her.

Omg you’re right! I was reading too fast! I meant to tag @carolineg!

This is very true. I think Eva was a decent housewife. Her problem is that she was always pregnant which would put a stop to how much she could participate. I mean look at her now, pregnant again so she isn’t doing any promo for the show. @CatI do agree Vicki and Tamra wanted a problem with Brandi, but she lost me with how she did my girl Shauna. She was wrong for that, but Shauna gathered her ass right up.

I must say, the funniest part of Girls Trip was when Vicki revealed she was an anti-vaxxer and you immediately see the concern from Phaedra, who was laid back thinking everybody was vaccinated. Then all the flashbacks of Vicki coughing around her had me SCREAMING! That was pure comedy! I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It’s an odd cast, but they have good chemistry. I thought Taylor and Eva would be weak links but they were both standouts. It’s nice to see Kennedy as a teen and to see Taylor happy! I’ll always have a soft spot for Taylor and Kim because without them, BH wouldn’t be what it was, but they didn’t get to benefit as much as the others because it’s the early seasons. Tamra was surprisingly laid back in the first two episodes, but she’s good as Vicki’s sidekick. Vicki is still great tv (and insane) and Brandi is still an absolute trash bag. Eva fit in so much better than Monique would’ve. It was also nice to see Dorinda again and Jill. You could feel the tension between the two. I wonder if they’ll bring up Dorinda blocking Jill from being a Friend Of in season 11.
