While I still saw a few of his 'tics,' I agree about this being a better breakdown by RC. But there was so much to like about this one. Steven did a great job directing and his establishment shots at the start of the episode was giving a bit of old school Y&R. And I love that even the generic music sounds better than what's on the other soaps. YES to the story of Chelesa's business and the story of the lawsuit both getting legs. I loved Chelesa went to Anita to get advice (and TT's look when Anita heard it was a Chelesa Dupree originally-FIERCE). And I loved that she finally told Dani. And awww at Naomi getting to have a moment with Bill...only to be there when he got served. And OMG...Bill finally started to be given layers. But now I am curious about his and Naomi's backstory. Because it was just assumed she was mad at him due to all the stuff with Dani and Hayley. BUT she was on the outs with Bill BEFORE Hayley arrived? Hmmm...could Naomi be connected to the family secret with Martin, too, and we just don't know? And speaking of that...FINALLY!!! Martin (and the audience) are finally seeing images? Hmmm. And then him vs Vernon/Anita. How defiant of him being such a witchy gay (but good for the actor who continues to grow into his role). Pride before the fall. And he loses sympathy points knowing that he knows what his secret is vs repressed memory. Meanwhile, uh oh at Smitty being onto Martin just like Martini was onto Smitty about job looking. And I did love Smitty's talk about Martin being more attentive to their kids. Dani, Dani, Dani. But good that Vernon is on to her with the vodka. And I liked Dani in momager mode. And her little ki-ki with the duo (look! a sassy gay!) was hilarious. Good episode, but I admit...I am having Nicole withdrawals. lol. Bill vs Naomi. Martin vs Smitty. Chelesa vs Dani. Tomorrow is looking good. SCREAMING!!

Well it would be nice if it sticks.

My favorite part pre-rewatch. TT did it perfectly and flawlessly.

Well if it makes you feel better @Antoyne this will be the second time I've tuned into a reunion without watching a season.

Very. And I agree. Even with the haphazardness of it, it has threads to it that I have loved that was unexpected like you mentioned. And even better, it is still growing and giving more story to mind. If played right. As for Dumas...I wished JG had left it as is with the reveal that Damian appeared to own all the companies...already putting him in Tucker's old spot...which who his boss will be will clearly be in. It was a nice change to see a powerful, cunning black man. Made it more mysterious and something refreshing for the Winters to deal with. Especially with Damian's attraction to Lily. And...I was looking forward to Damian vs Victor perhaps down the road. And while I still love Victor's involvement being very slight, I don't feel it will hit the same now. I totally forgot about Billy's phone call. Another thread if it is connected to Dumas. To be clear...loving the story. It really and truly is THE best current story, but the pacing is where I do get annoyed.

smh lol

Well, Sutton does seem like she's doing damage control from what I saw online.

Speak on it!!

You might have to wait. He has to use that bank to hire ten more irrelevants.🥷

You were just fine. I really enjoyed the Shick scene this past week, but as usual JG pull the football away a la Lucy Charlie Brown. And I have not liked that he pushed the Damian storyline which was The A storyline for a while VERY forceful into C plot territory...especially since JG has one more card to play in it. But that has been what has been irking me...JG keeps messing with the momentum of it. I don't know if you read when I explained what happened in the Damian story for anyone not watching regularly, but reading it...it sounds like a great plot. But how JG keeps moving haphazardly with it keeps messing up the storyline. We should be seeing more of Nate and Damian bonding, more Audra's attempts to keep her history with Holden who is getting stalker-y, AND Amy at the clinic. But NOPE. JG took busy focusing on Billy, Adam/Chels, and the Giggly Heffa who is surely strike at Billy/Sally at some point. And outside of Sally, I don't care about anyone in that. But yeah...if you want fallout...start from last Monday. You are not far off on swap partners from what I've read. Just...wrong partners. 🥷

RHOA I've been so busy. I forgot to talk about it. lol. I liked it even more than the first one. It felt like they were slowly finding their rhythm. It's not there yet. Because we had Housewives individual scenes. We had a Housewives event. We had fun shade. But I can tell I'm not completely in. Yet. What I found interesting in this episode was how much the newbies except for Brit were giving me so much to be into. Shamea with her issues with the baby and her growing feud with Angela which was giving old school RHOA. Angela with her husband and her business and not being a shrinking violet to Porsha's lapdog Shamea. Kelli's...EVERYTHING. I'll go as far as to even say that Drew was even giving something. It's interesting to see how much she comes alive when she's focused on or talking about her music. It makes me think of Candiace on RHOP and how I wished that she focused on her music/acting more than feuding with the girls. Probably why I eventually came around to liking her when she did just that. Meanwhile...Porsha...well...smh. PORSHA. Outside of my new interest in what a Strawberry Henny Margarita is like, she was really giving nothing. Scratch that. She was giving 'throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks' to make her interesting. Feuding with Drew...which was all right last week, but fell completely flat this week. The issues with Simon fall flat due to her being Production's favorite and trying to edit how we look at her. And as for trying to create a feud with Shamea aka her BFF a la Bethanny Frankel on NY with Jill...to use her own words...WRONG ROAD!!! I can't with her. DREW. So darn delulu. lol. Well, with ShebySheBroke gone, someone has to be. lol. But she comes across as fake as Porsha. So I was glad Kenya was there with her to stir the pot. It was in the moments where Drew was authentic...all her stuff with music and what is this about her in a horror movie? cuz I would watch #horrorfan...was when she (pun unintended) sang for me. I wanted to hear more of her music because that song and how it sounded and how it felt...resonated. I wanted more. Meanwhile...so Tampa Ralph is stalling on the divorce? SHAMEA. She was still doing everything right. She was winning the audience over with her baby storyline. And her worries came across as so real. Meanwhile, I LOOOOOVE her feud with Angela. Two rich women. Their fight at the end was great. KELLI. That's it!!! She is sooooooooooo my favorite of the newbies. She had me with her event and her story about her kids. My eyes watered. Her sincerity shined through to me and I love that. Bringing awareness and helping her community. Being able to hold her own with Porsha that Porsha had no choice, but to come to a truce. So many one liners. She's been great. ANGELA. She held her own this episode. Love her feud with Shamea. Though she was giving a little bit of Marlo in that scene. But perhaps that was why I liked it. The shade came fast, quick, and clear. Meanwhile, we do see her life in the episode with her and the houses she want to sell off. And Charles was a hoot this episode. BRIT. All I took from her scenes was that her husband is smart. Why? He knew better than to say a thing about Kenya...who Brit is clearly making into her storyline. Speaking of storyline...I am ready for the rest beginning of Brit vs Kenya next week.

LOL!! IKR.

Oh, lord...that feels like such a loaded question. lol. I would say this past week. Just expect to use your FF finger. lol. When the story wasn't on Damian (which was Tuesday), it was on Tracy at least (Monday, Wednesday). And I liked all the stuff with Summer/Kyle/Claire that was hmmm barely B plot, but there and interesting. But last week was decent with fallout since the SAW storyline...well the main part of it...ended rushed on Friday 3-14. Quad From Hell? If Adam and Chelesa are part of that Quad...uhhh well...FF finger be ready. Cuz Wednesday was A LOT.

Get her!!!

Oh...well...I just might. I finally got to see those Jordan/Isaish scenes that were adorable, stumbled into AS's great acting over the baby secret, and fell out seeing Dominic Zamprogna in a towel so... Hahahaha

BH REUNION TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean...bodies be tea.

Still making those records though. lol. Sadly, it will give reasons to the online stans to say ITYSs who say no one watches live anymore.

Am I going to have to do a drive-by? Cuz that sounds good. Or can be great background music. Tick, tock re: Drew's inevitable shooting.

Hopefully they get CBS player worth playing then. Thank you for this. I really do like the character of Randy and he's easy on the eyes. hehe. And I can't wait to read Dan's thoughts when I have time later on.

Oh???

Yep.

Looks like you were right. YES, LORD!!! Very good to hear. Can't wait to watch it in a little while.

I listened to her good-bye and understand, but I can't help, but wonder...given the reunion dress...if she went out with a bang, too.
