The smile that made Ramona freak out lol Leah just looks mean...if you look at her eyes..she just seems lacking in empathy or warmth. No wonder her mom doesn't like her. RHONJ Delores was a tad too defensive. Me thinks Gorga hit on some truth. Jackie seems unbearable to be married to...and sucks hubby gets more attention than her

No to Leeann coming back. Her head would be so large, she would become even more toxic. Next season should be 13 to 14 episodes like housewife shows in the past. Quality > quantity. NJ with just 13 episodes is a surprise...it's been an interesting season thus far. Rhod reunion preview: The zoom video portraits on the chairs is so campy lol

Despite Kobe and Pam Long's faults...they did write Bert well. Seeing this interview, how could you not want to write for her.

Candiace vs Gizelle would be nice to see because while Candiace has a temper, she can cut to the bone with her words. As we've seen with her dealings with ashley at each reunion.

How Candiace handles these newest conflicts will be of interest. Has Gizelle and Candiace ever clashed before? Usually it was Monique vs Gizelle..or Karen and Gizelle during their weird toxic friendship thing. And Ashley should have been fired...because her coming back shows Bravo is co signing on Michaels toxicity.

If rumors were true of Clark being the mole...I'm sure it came with perks. Perks she probably lost once Marland and later Allen Potter left. Which is why I'm sure when she exercised one of those perks...Kobe basically said 'bye'

An illegitimate daughter of JR would have been more interesting. In fact, Jamie could have been that very person (with a different actress of course). Imagine JR's illegitimate daughter hooking up with Cliff. Would have been better..imho

Housewives in the mid 2000s became the modern day soap. You'd think Bravo and Andy would observe what helped kill soaps and avoid repeating it. Here is what is happening.. 1) propping. Porsha and Drew seem to be propped in the same way as Brownie was on OC. People aren't stupid. 2) editing out scenes and story Sounds like a whole bunch of stuff was edited out..which would provide context on what we're seeing. If Kandi is correct, than this production team doesn't understand what a reality show is. Editing out stuff and then the housewives not allowed to talk of it..isn't reality at all. And I bet the OC would have loved to have had too much footage that needed to be cut. @Taoboi was Cohen ever objective?

Kandi, Porsha, Cynthia, and Kenya were sitting there smiling..letting the thirsty c list housewives duke it out. I'm hearing a reshuffle in cast might happen on Atlanta...but who knows if true..or if it'll work.

I did gossip with the peeps who gave me the shot. If someone laughs at something I say..it's mission accomplished in my book.

Afton was also a wasted opportunity because while she lacked book smarts, she knew how to read people. She knew Clayton was into Sue Ellen (even Jr said she was perceptive because he missed that)...and she knew Katherine wasn't to be trusted and warned everyone in various ways. It was why I didn't like in the revival how dismissive Bobby was of Afton..because she was always close to Pam (even naming her daughter after her and Pam's mom).

I'm surprised Lesley Ann lasted a full year into Long's stint...though I did like that Long played out the beats of the post Floyd/Lesley ann break up...and also Lesley Ann being self destructive. I guess it was only fitting that she would die tragically. And I feel bad for the whip lash of Hilary almost dying during the Dreaming Death story... being featured in a new romance with Jim..and having chemistry with Fletcher..and than dying. Kobe seemed not to think long term it sounds like.

Luann and Ramona..my favorite frienimie interaction:) And I like Eboni...confident and observant. Will serve her well while riding the Ramonacoaster

Jersey does it right with the looks...tailoring the color theme to their personality. Dallas: How did Stephanie not here of Dallas? She would have been 10 or 11 when the show ended. Even I as a small child in the 80s recalled the show. D'andra needs to not call her mom before doing anything major. Her husband is a saint lol

Sue Ellen in later seasons did display some humor..and I think Pamela was an awesome character even during the victim years (due to Victoria Principal's likability). Pamela leaving threw the show off balance...Jr vs Pamela was a consistent thread throughout the show...and no one really replaced Pamela despite the show changing April's grey character into a goody goody

Kary may have an ugly personality, but she is beautiful. Stephanie's dress looked like a grandma dress in the pic D'andra has the Katherine Parker (Working Girl) vibe going on with her outfit. I mean she did steal Leeanne's look and story after all Kam looks like she's going to Prom Tiffany looks nice. Brandi is motivation to quit drinking. Drinking plus a newborn, toddler, and 2 mouthy girls...no wonder she looks older than 42.

Problem with Drew was that she tried too hard. First seasons should be about being yourself, being authentic, and observing the crazy around them. Also, Drew just lacks charisma or the wow factor in photos..and in her talking heads. With Nene gone, the show needed to find someone interesting to help with the transition (i.e. Porsha and Kenya in season 5) and they failed. I can't recall any successful new additions since season 5 on Atlanta. Potomac: I'm ready to hide...but I don't like Karen.

I prepared for side effects both of my Pfizer doses since I had Covid last May/June. Dose #1 was done on 3.17.2021 (St Patricks Day, plus got my stimulus check)... 99.4 temp the next day, stiff arm, and slept 10 hours that night.. and felt better by the 19th. Dose #2 was done on 4.7.2021 (Got my tax refund on that day LOL).. 99.4 temp the next day, no arm pain, but slept 8 hours... than within an hour after waking up (after having a cup of coffee) I fell asleep again and slept for another 6 hours. Good as new by the 48 hour mark. So I'm almost fully vaccinated... it's surreal.

I noticed on SFT that the writing team switched. I wonder if that had any impact on the Jennifer killing Eunice story and aftermath?

I always believed in strength in numbers...so Porsha and Kandi both could have banded together..but Porsha is just not a nice person. I recall during Kenya vs Kim Fields..lots of people despised Kenya. However, I have the ability to be objective and the fact is...Kim Fields is condescending and talked down to everyone..and she and her hubby gave off a weird vibe to me. So even when Kenya is right, the audience won't believe her because its Kenya. She was right about Porsha, Nene, Phaedra, Apollo, Kim F, and Kim Z. Also, Kenya isn't a villianess... she's the anti heroine.

Problem with Brazil is that the president seems unconcerned with Covid whatsoever.. so even if we helped Brazil.. it could be to no avail. From what I've read, it sounds like Pfizer might not be strong enough to protect fully from the South African strain.. though it appears the majority that have been fully vaccinated have gotten milder symptoms to almost no symptoms. I did read that Moderna's booster shot research with mice has been promising, while continuing booster shot trials with people.... and tentatively might have a booster shot for Moderna by fall for the variants.

Is this a surprise? Remember how he treated Joyce in season 4 of BH?

I was surprised Chelsea/Philip were planned all the way back when Bolger was playing him. His Philip was more suave and less tortured..I recall. I'm excited for the Harley Jane K reunion. She and Michael Woods played siblings on Texas...and than on GL they were teased as a couple when she was married to his brother Tony lol

Before filming of season 5 paused last spring...Jackie opted to leave to start a family, Gina was back, and Lydiot had opted to return once Jackie left. And only 3 newbies were hired. A lot has changed since Covid..and maybe Gina took stock of her life and decided reality tv wasn't for her anymore and opted to leave when filming was set to resume. Just a theory. @Taoboi Kameron is just..well Kameron. While the pet psychic was a bit extreme...I do recall her little one passed while she was on a trip. So she's feeling guilt and a lack of closure since she didnt get to say good bye. Kary is entitled...and I think it stems from being a child of an alcoholic...and she seems a little too eager to drink..which concerns me a bit. D'andra has a fascinating family life..and I think having Jeremy in her life helps give it some light.

I thought Jackie was leaving?? Lydiot is gone!?!?!
