Yay! Made it to today!!! HA!!! Naomi clocking them thinking about that settlement. Like father, like daughter. DEAD at Hayley's losing her sport spot. #TeamDani Hehe. Round 3 for RC...and his mention of his cat story...OF COURSE. Nosy Nurse!!!

And rightfully so!!!

Le sigh. I'm not sure I'm ready. I had heard something about that cuz Liz...worth me going to go watch?

Coming into April with the catch up... Now they might actually go there with Vanessa and Joey. Well, well...that would be some messy and juicier given what's going on with her husband...and her trainer...and...lol. I am still not over Bill trying to pull a fast one on Naomi. But I really loved that it allowed to see Bill in action. Timon really sold those scenes. That's the kind of manipulation I like to see. Sinister...even a bit of menace...but subtle. I'm definitely here for him vs Naomi who also got some great licks in. And being a true soap moment...how the lawsuit storyline impacted on Tomas and Kat...which of course might give a way to Tomas and Eva getting closer, giving that triangle another layer. Dani, Dani, Dani. One step forward, two steps back. lol. I did like her idea for Chelesa though. But yeah, it's still too soon after the 'break-up' of Dani and Chelesa. And I loved seeing Dani/Kat together since they seem to be the fashionistas of the family. I'm always going to be here for Eva vs Kat. Let them claws out!!! But of course, Kat is going to try to back down for now. But I'm sure the writers will find yet another reason to have them at all. I mentioned yesterday that I already loved the Dani/Andre dynamic. And how she can see right through him like a mom. So great to see more of that. Though such a typical guy with how he's handling Ashley. I also think this was the first time I was personally annoyed at seeing Ashley. While I like her, I also noticed like the rest of you, how great last week flowed without her, Derek, and Andre...and I at least noticed Andre was MIA versus her and Derek. Awww Nosy Nurse...how I've missed you. So Week looks like it's off to a good start.

RHOA I admit to being surprised. Since the main storyline coming into the season is Brit vs Kenya, I couldn't believe that we were already getting to it. Not enough build for me honestly. And aren't RHOA's season usually 18 episodes without the reunion episodes? It makes me go uh oh overall. But for the episode itself, I thought it was very good. It felt like the ladies were finding their rhythm. There were several things going on. And the episode just flowed. If anything, the only false note was Porsha's continued attempts to be relevant. It does worry about the direction of the show once Kenya exits. PORSHA. I knew that she was not okay after saying she was coming to a truce with Drew. And then having that whole scene about it. GIRL, BYE. So in a twist, I did like that she does not realize that she started organic drama with Shamea with her acting like she did not recognize Shamea's voice. Last week, she was poking for the sake of poking and relevancy. Her at the Bank dinner felt completely authentic. And that is because Porsha has a history of not liking when her friends start to outshine her just like Nene. So it tracks. Finally. SHAMEA. And let me be clear...Shamea continues to OUTSHINE Porsha. I loved the history lesson with Shamea. I had no idea that she had been in so many music groups. All the years she's been on RHOA, I never knew. And I saw that segment and went NO WONDER HER AND KANDI HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!! The music! The wealth! Enduring marriages! Why has Shamea been hiding this all this time? I was so impressed and inspired. Meanwhile, she also mended fences with Angela...a sign of a woman who know how the HW game is played. And trying to get her music career out there and using the platform right as well. And she was still giving humor and fun shade. I've always liked her since she took on Shady Phae Phae, but I really think she's doing a great job. DREW. Woooooow they gave Tampa Ralph a Confessional...the shade of it all!!! Look FOINE though...lol. But seriously, good to get an update on her and Ralph's divorce. Also good to see her in the music studio. And she and Dennis talking on camera about Porsha...uh oh. But still...Dennis has always done what he wanted to do. Porsha played her hand wrong in that situation. IMO. In any case, Drew was still giving story any way she could do it, and it does not come across as someone throwing things at the wall to make things stick. If Porsha needs to be doing anything, it would be...taking NOTES. (c) Lesa Milan. KELLI. So, so, SOOOOOOOO my favorite of the newbies. And I'm so mad that we were cheated out of watching her friendship with Kenya grow. That scene with them at Kenya's beauty center was great. And OMG at even more backstory on her ex-man. He sounds CRAZY!!! ANGELA. She just fits in. It almost feels like she's always been there. I feel how she's moving has been reminiscent of when Garcelle joined BH in Season 10. She's getting a lay of the land, getting to see how the dynamic is. And it's working out for her. And good that she was smart to bring a stop to her and Shamea's feud. And even though she was hanging with Brit, she stayed open minded to Kenya. Moreso since she interacted with Kenya off-screen. BRIT. Kenya herself said it best. 'Thank you for using my catchphrase.' EXACTLY!!! She went into that Bank dinner (which was nicely done) with the purpose of trying to have a moment. Feeling some kind of way about a hug. Asking questions. Coming for Kenya when Kenya DID NOT send for her. Spiraling like the peasant she was coming for a queen. And This queen knew to keep calm and keep it moving. And then mentioning pistols and whips IS a threat. I clocked her husband last week not saying NOTHING about Kenya. And he was the level-headed one here. Cuz at least someone in that marriage knew Kenya's rep preceded her. And also...KENYA WAS RIGHT. Speaking of... KENYA. KENYA WAS RIGHT. She didn't do anything, but be civil. And if Brit can spiral over one comment, she wouldn't be able to handle a true Kenya attack...which it sounds like we are getting next week. hehe. Since she want the smoke, I guess she will get the smoke. But even without that, Kenya gave actual moments. From her hanging with Kelli. To seeing her ki-ki-ing briefly with Porsha. And the very fact those game questions were all about who? KENYA. She doesn't need moments...unlike Brit...because she IS the moment. Now that she's been vindicated, I say have at her. Like I said, very good episode. That episode...and tonight's BH...is about to have online in shambles.

Very. I hope she lands somewhere else soon.

Mmmmm Paul.

Good to hear it. Go, 'head, Nosy Nurse!!!

HAHAHAHA!!!! I LOVE HER.

Hahahah!!! DEAD. I figured that would be news that you, @Catand @NothinButAttitude would like to hear. I'm happy for you all. re: Cheshire.

Hahaha! I love the Nicole/Andre dynamic and how she sees right through him. Get him, Naomi!!! Ooooo Joey and Vanessa! Nosy Nurse!!!! And back to work...*cries* Will finish online later.

That actor is making me realize how much I like the good guy cop on all of my shows because I know I'm nursing a crush on him now. lol. And that says a lot because this show is full of men that are FOINE. Let me...*fans self* Amen. I love Nosy Nurse! I'm counting the day she pops up outside the hospital set.

YASSS!!! IT'S BROUGHTH!!! LOL. Go on Kat vs Eva!!! YASSS!!! IT'S BROUGHTH!!! LOL. Go on Kat vs Eva!!!

Not Bill trying to pull a fast one!!!

Hehe at how you worded that. But yay for Team Nicole! You're not. I model pose. But I liked it from GO. And as Vee mentioned the extended sounds great, too. Same. But I already mentioned my experiences with game rooms and back rooms so it's not jarring at all for me when it comes to that set. And story-wise, I'm really starting to wonder what Joey's endgame will be. That's another thing I love as well. There has been times where this show is giving Y&R in that characters might not even appear until mid-episode...a technique Y&R used to use BITD. Or characters appearing in one scene. Done with characters that the audience like so if they want to see their favorites, you have to watch the full episode. Because you never know. Well-done. You did, you did!!! So I'm very happy to hear that. That's cuz you want all the smoke. 😜 But seriously, happy you like you sum Nicole. Yeah, I definitely would like to see Hayley with more edge. And the writing and acting seem like it was going to go that way post-wedding, but it's been very hit and mess since Week 2. And yes on that scene with Naomi. Perhaps SilkPress will revert after she realizes that Eva is in too deep?

I doubt it is. More of a delay I feel. I loved that Smitty showed a backbone...even if he backed down in Thursday's episode. And then this situation with Ty dropped in between them. Not to mention that Martin's dreams is still an issue. Far from over. And most of it is organic drama, too? Yep. I feel the same. Before the show, I knew it was Nicole for me. But it's been surprising how much I like others. I was drawn to Kat during the family walkout due to her presence and fashion sense, so I love that she's really part of the first real rivalry of this show with Eva. I was intrigued from the character descriptions (which I read little of to be surprised) by the mother/daughter duo so Eva is reallllllly impressing me as well. The layers that Amber is finding within the character are impressive. And I'm still thinking of the coda of her shedding that tear looking at Ted's picture. And both actresses are finds. The SilkPress...omg yes! It's been a minute since I love a good villainess and she's giving me old school ED Kristen along with old school Sheila, too. But I love everything within that storyline. It's been so well paced, and it's been a minute since I've seen a good paced story that is not stalling at all, but has ups, downs, flows following the old rule of 'make me wait' but still giving so much. But I don't hate anyone in the cast. And I feel that's well done on casting's side. The taste. *diva hair toss* IKR. I loved last week, but I admit that there was a bit of oomph missing when they are not on...a sign of how much presence both have. And I'm not above giving credit when it's due to people and/or writers that I don't like. So it's been nice to see that some still have some tricks in them that I like. I hope they continue to impress and be consistent. Same. They still need to find their rhythm, but I feel they will find it in three months' time like a writer honestly needs 100 pages before a novel truly kicks in. YES. Though I'm now Jacob leaning. 😜 YW. Great choices. YES re: Anita. But...we need toxic folk to keep that drama moving. Why not sure about Eva? Sarah Joy Brown and Sarah Michelle Gellar is high praise indeed. Someone said early Kendall this past weekend and I haven't been unable to unsee that with Amber since so love this comment. Yay! Nicole fans united!! Yeah, I think outside of Bill, those guys aren't layered yet. In time maybe. That's how I feel as well. I don't hate anyone and they all have potential. And I can't say that for a lot of soaps.

On break, but will tune in.

IKR Haha. Haven't got to the scene, but already liking as I watch how Kelli and Angela already seem Team Kenya.

She must be working for Dumas.

3-25 You know what? I might have to eat some crow here. I loathed the Saw rip-off storyline with Sharon and Giggly Heffa. And the fact that the threads post-rescue still touching that Saw vein. That said...MS has surprisingly been selling me on her unraveling and now going introspective. And I have really loved that Sharon has been the ONLY person to calm her down. And this introspective walk they do this episode has been...really good. It actually feels like they are bonding and coming to a place where they might stop hating each other. Giggled at Phyllis letting Sharon know that Christine and Diane are high above her on her HATE LIKE A FIRE IN HADES List. If JG is truly going in a new direction with them, I might actually be FOR that. Big if. Loved all of the Victor intrigues so far this week. So he still has spies in Marchetti and with the company being merged into Jabot, he will have spies in Jabot. And he and Michael (mostly Michael) know who it is. So his revenge on Jack is FAR from over. Meanwhile, yay for a Victor/Lily scene and them comparing notes on the mysterious Dumas. I still think they should have kept Damian as the owner of the company (and ON CANVAS), but I admit the intrigue IS intriguing...moreso now that the Billy/Sally scenes revealed how far back the timeline goes with the reveal that Dumas was who was on the phone with Billy in that one scene. So...what is the plan? I know Victor thinks that Dumas is coming for Winters, but I disagree. I believe now (somewhat sadly) that Damian is a decoy to distract. Dumas is coming for Newman if not (given JG's track record) Jabot. That I have mixed feelings for because it feels like the Newmans are hijacking the storyline which was the good current storyline. But...decent start to the week given the important storylines (Damian, Tracy) are nowhere in sight.

So now that it's been over a month, anyone change who your favorite was coming into the show...or has it changed? For me, my favorites are still Nicole and Anita. Though this show is making me realize how much I love the character trope of the good guy cop. I shouldn't be surprised given how much I love Chance on Y&R and Dante on GH. Perhaps it's the onion...I mean how attractive Jacob is. And enjoying how (fingers crossed) his family is sloooooowwwwly being touched on. I mean, I know people compare her to Brooke Logan, but I don't even think Brooke acts as dumb as Hayley is acting. If she is feeling red flags from Bill, she should trust herself. Or worse, if she is this insecure, she needs to be careful to not make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Totally. The writers are making sure they have something to fight over at ALL TIMES. And the Hairdresser might be ahead of the Bougie Bitca for now, but she gotta score at some point too. Too much time to go. hehe.

And it's been a minute since it was that age with age-related drama, too.

I didn't even think of that! Reeeeeally old school. I definitely would be impressed if true. Bill did say in that first week when he talked to Vernon that he had always done favors for various members of the family. So it would track.

Hold up...bullying AND catfishing? I can't believe we are getting a teen storyline. It's been soooo long. And relatable. I love it. Hahaha!! That ending!! I want the smoke!!!
