Taoboi

That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode.

Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol. Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene. Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger. I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!! Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!

Go 'head, Martin!! GATHER. Oh my goodness!!! Now we are getting Bill/Smitty. The combos today.

Why does this Smitty/Kat talk feel like foreshadowing what's coming with Martin's Secret? Hahaha. Not Kat and Tomas keep getting business in their way. And uh oh...Eva. Oh, there's Ashley and Derek. Mmmm those pants. And ooooooooo another Ted/Martin scene. YES, PLEASE. Andre...no, no, no!!!! This is going to come back on you with Dani!!

haha!!! Called it!!!

From what I see...some people do. So I would love to see the numbers for it.

I'm liking the mixing today. Vernon with Nicole. Now Kat with Smitty. Hehe. Not Bill gathering Dani.

I love Vernon. And oooo of course the Duprees would be aware of Ted's moves.

So it's on pause. And given what they said about 'reconfiguring' with the current cast...I still take that to mean that they are trying to find a way to keep Brynn.

It's TIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!! Hey, Jacob, hey!!! Oooooo look at Naomi. And so far, I love this B plot. But I agree with Cheap about the woman's identity. And I giggled at Vernon and Anita switching places. Lord...Bill and Dani stay having chemistry. Sorry, Hayley. And speaking of chemistry...it's interesting how Martin/Smitty do have some now. What a difference a few months makes.

Very. Very reminiscent of what's going on RHOA with Porsha. They had to bring in Shady Phae Phae to get any buzz post-Kenya and I still don't think that will help it at all. Production clearly favor Brynn, and it might be the detriment of the show. I had hoped that it would come back because...for better or for worse...they got buzz for sure by the end. However, given that Brynn has been online with no remorse from what I can see...and now Sai's recent birthday where everyone was there BUT Brynn...it's very clear that everyone see her for the problem that she is and want no part of her. And sadly...Production just have no self-awareness of why it's in their best interest to cut bait.

Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album. Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me? Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown. Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I. Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored. And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins. And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along.

Same.

That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks!

Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol. I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch. I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs. Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him. And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful. Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me. That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one.

Which is why I feel that when they do introduce that family it will more than likely be Jacob's family. Otherwise why establish them slowly but surely?

The air...is looooooooooong gone.

Yep. those families would be correct. Looking forward to the rest of Jacob's family showing up.

Amen. LMAO!!! All I take from that...and the NEXT WEEK promo from Friday...is that they will probably FINALLY reveal who it is this week. THIS.

Well it's nice to hear...since I missed the first 30 minutes, but judging from the dialogue...it was a RC day. I figured as much. Tbf Bill said he had SEVERAL things on the Duprees so that is not at all surprising. Ted and Martin were just the beginning. Great minds...

That and half of the time they only got interesting when they were pulling pranks. So even the people who liked it turned on those ladies. Add on the above...and what I said everything about how Production are playing deaf on all things Brynn cuz she was their pet and NO ONE wants to film with her...and it will be a miracle if it comes back.

In light of yesterday's news...I figured it was okay to bump this up. And probably do a rewatch.

Well darn!! Dani gathered Hayley quickly. I was not expecting that and no theatrics either. hehe.

Running late...but...LIVING for the Dani/Nicole scenes. SilkPress was cold-blooded. Oh it WAS Ted at the door. heehee
