5-26 My system went down, but thankfully is back up. It's a shame that if I missed something, I just don't care. So May Sleeps indeed. smh. That said...I found this episode intriguing. Yeah, it had a LOT of the characters that I didn't care about. And I know @slick jones probably glared seeing his man around that girl, 😜 but I will give credit where it's due. It must be a sign there is about to FINALLY be story movement when we start to get artistic camera angles again...something that has been absent for a while. The overhead sweeping into the scene at the start of the episode? LOVE. Good to see Ed Scott is still around somewhere. And I loved what Phyllis had on and Amanda in the red. Claire continued to have her own style and Holden continued to look hot. And I continue to be in awe that the designer is trying her darnest to get Kyle from looking so stuffy but still keep him suited. Everything Audra continued to intrigue. And I continue to feel that Kyle is totally going to fall into her trap because he is much too cocky. Holden is a great wild card, but I don't like him hinting that perhaps Audra actually have feelings for Kyle. THAT boat has sailed and would have been better used when Summer was around. Besides I love Audra with Nate. Phyllis vs Sally will always be awesome. And they were both giving great lines. I could care less for Billy.

RHOM TV SPOT!!

Kinda hard to bury the past when you refuse to have accountability for it. smh. GIRL, BYE. And so disappointed they didn't pull a NY Season 12 with all new taglines. As Nene would say...the ghetto.

Suuuure did do this with Tucker. Which is why I had to light shade that. They should have left well enough alone given Damien as the Head as already a great story with unexpected twists and turns even with the haphazard writing. For once, it seem JG had a story worth watching and included characters that were not always used too much. One plot twist too many.

IKR. Looking at comments before work, I guess she got soome fans. I was like 'who?' Well bright side...we know she won't be on the LADIES OF LONDON reboot now.

Amen!! Speak on it. Well the good news is even IF it's true, we know JG will make it short term. Look at Tucker. And JFP (if the rumor is true she's back) didn't care about Cane either, did she? Or am I wrong?

All right @Cat @DaytimeFan and @NothinButAttitude we ready for the collective eyeroll at seeing that girl again...ugh...lol. But...Real Housewives of London cast announcement...

Ah! Gotcha. Thank you.

Billy is rumored to be the albatross that is no longer on Y&R? Say it ain't so.

Same. Cool.

Since my mind is drawing a blank, have we hit the episodes that were filmed after the show officially premiered and started to get feedback, or we should be hitting those next month?

Oh, yeah, I know they did that and started showing it online with the quickness. It doesn't look good at all. Yeeessss!!! I was thinking that, too. I want to say it was OGNY that did two sets of taglines within a season as well. I don't know yet if it will be that or Shady Phae Phae's tagline just getting added though. I'm sure I'll get around to it because Angela has been doing a masterclass on how to be a fan favorite effortlessly Brit could take note and Drew will be doing her usual 'second half being the center storyline' thing that she always winds up doing. I heard Drew were taking on everyone this past Sunday. I just don't feel a rush to watch. Heck...I'm at the VANDERPUMP VILLA reunion episode...and I've been so busy that I only saw the first 5 minutes. That was WEEKS ago. But I can say this much...the amount of chaos and mess that was in that 5 minutes has been greater than the several episodes of RHOA I've behind on. If I had to pick which to watch...RHOA would lose. Thankfully...soaps trump all. lol. When I get time.

Oh, how I hollered as I saw it earlier. I have a lot of stuff going on so I'm behind. And honestly...outside of seeing Angela...I don't have a strong desire to catch up at the moment.

Well...Andy Cohen has started to ask for reunion questions so I would say 4/5 episodes left per usual. And apparently...NEW TAGLINES ON FRIDAY.

Hehe, but true.

Well...I'm glad Tomas and Kat put it out there on the table. Ooooo awww at this Anita/Vernon scene. Yeah, I loved Vernon's talk to Anita. But yep...a nice day, but a slow day.

I'm not ready at all. But at least I can take some time at least. I know I'm going to be a crying mess.

Well, the writing wasn't helping him so it's good to hear. VERY good to hear.

*eyeroll* on Hayley. While I feel like he has more chemistry with Eva, the actor playing Tomas is slooooowly improving. Le sigh Smitty. That said...we know I'm loving the near-misses around Martin's secret. And happy it is getting attention again the last week of May Sweeps.

I expected that. On one hand, good cuz I loooove MM. But on the other hand, I expect her to be around until at least shortly after the Dumas reveal. But it also means we have a looooooong way to go. I'm slooooowly catching up and will for that. But BTG rewatches and DAYS (not to mention GH's Nurses Ball) is calling for what little time I have this week. smh. I love how you worded that. So true. Oooo at the JFP stuff.

30 minutes in and...is there any Tracy that I dislike? lol. Cuz I love Traci on Y&R, Tracy on GH, and now Tracy on this show. She is reading the heck out of Anita so far. And sorry...Anita is not keeping up (though I am loving TT's performance). This is what I was expecting from Silk Press Sheila, but nope. But this comes of someone that truly knows someone. Loving it. But I liking all the conversations so far today. Smitty and Martin especially. A gay couple having it out. And knowing that due to the development in Month 2 and the actors getting comfortable with their roles, I feel invested. Not Kat pulling a Blair again on Chelesa. lol. Same. I can avoid major spoilers for a day.

5-21 Have I said how much I like Jacob and Naomi? As the first in-bed couple from Episode 1...and a good guy/good girl couple, I do love seeing their development. Together. And separate. So doing my rewatch, it's great to see them together one moment and making their lives work. And then the next minute, they are off in other stories. I liked the Naomi/Derek scenes. Meanwhile DETECTIVE Jacob is involved in the SilkPress storyline due to Veronica Mars aka Kat on her and Eva's case. Dani, Dani, Dani. I thought it was a good episode to show her different sides. The outrageous Dani who would kiss her friend in public...and figuratively blow Bill's head off. And then...there's Mama Dani with Chelesa. She is always going to be divisive, ain't she? Sidenote...good to see a bit of sass from Pamela on Vanessa. It's clear they don't like each other. I do wonder if that will turn into a C plot. Speaking of C plots...well...I still can't believe how invested I have been in the Derek/Ashley mess. And another element in it that I liked this episode was how it was affecting Dani/Andre. Heck, they were all in the montage at the end. And another speaking of C plots, Bill and that hand. smh. I didn't care for all the Bill/Hayley time, but that hand shake continued. I do wonder where that is going to go. MS perhaps? I believe in rare cases that it can happen to men, but I am probably wrong. Still...a chance to educate. I loved the Dani/Chelesa scene for sure. I'm sorry that things did not work out for Chels and the girl. But it was nice to see that in the spotlight and something just different for soaps. And it led to such a great talk with Dani. Mmmmm at the SilkPress/Eva scenes. It was such a visual version of what Eva and Tomas just talked about in the last episode with parents. And SilkPress admitting what she did. I totally missed it the first time around. I live for their scenes regardless. Though I'm starting to think (and the synopsis for this coming week doesn't help), that this A story is about to shift into more of a B story status to focus on the other A stories (Martin's secret and another round of Dani/Bill/Hayley).

5-21 Background music, but still holding some interest. Outside of seeing Grace...and shirtless Finn and Carter...I couldn't care less about the Liam Dying storyline still. And now they brought in the possibility of a Sophie's Choice? Yeeeah no. Okay, I guess another good thing about the Liam Dying storyline has been the plot point of Carter giving Daphne a chance. And now that Hope is back at Forrester and told him what is happening with Liam...uh oh. I cannot believe Steffy and Hope are getting along. And...STFU RIDGE!! God, I so dislike him talking down to Hope.

Same. I've seen a few scenes and MS just does not compare. Good. I was trying to not be shady, but I am over off-screen drama.

5-20 What can I say? All things Audra. lol. And that coda with her in that yellow dress...funnily enough reminds me of the coda of Imani finding out Elena was going on a work trip, leaving Nate all the way alone. hehe. Good times! The episode was pretty much background music, but I did enjoy Audra vs Holden and how she continued to weave her web around Kyle. I even enjoyed Kyle vs Holden because he is soooo threatened, and he knows it. If I was worried about anything...it's that Holden really knows Audra a little tooooo well. It was nice seeing Cole and NOT sick. Ugh at any idea of a Sharon/Nick/Giggle Heffa triangle again. And I liked Sharon calling Nick out. Other than that...God, JM was looking good.
