FACTS. lol. I'm not there yet and even I'm anticipating it.

Whether I'm regularly viewing or not, you know I always got your back when it comes to Ms. Marcil. I even thought that new thread that popped up today had to do with...you know.

You're not.

OOOOO more details about Martin's Secret, too. I know someone will slow mo those images and I can't wait. Yes, Clifton, YES!!!! Awww...the Eva vs Kat scene is already over?

Which means I will too. GOOD.

And you know what? YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS. THIS.

It feels good to watch it LIVE! It feels double good to see Eva FINALLY show them claws at Kat. I like Kat, but it's been too long since she's done it with her...though AM always plays Eva's edge. and YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I TOLD YOU ALL THEY WOULD GET BACK AROUND TO THE CROOKED COP STORYLINE. AND...hey, Clifton, hey!!! annnd a Sara episode too? LET'S GO!!!

Now why is RHOM coming on at 9PM and not getting the deserved spot of 8PM. And over an SCENES WE DIDN'T SHOW YOU of SUMMER HOUSE which season is over at that??? GIRL, BYE.

You been busy running into BTG alum. 😜 Same. So ready to watch it LIVE. I most def need the escape.

RHOM TONIGHT!!! And...it looks like there will be new visuals.

lol. God bless her!! That's the thing I love about her. For all the tea she knows, she loves and is great at her job, too. A work/play balanced queen.

Speak on it!!! Rightfully so!!! And depending on director, there are two sets of stairs. I like them though.

Yeah, I've always given credit where it's due. And I'm been watching the Nurse Balls episodes and the aftermath of it. And it's been surprisingly good. And we know how much I don't care for the writing. It does help that it has been focusing on the stories for the most part that were in places before I stopped regularly watching so I was not at all tooo lost. And bonus...remember how to end episodes on cliffhangers that make me want to go ahead and watch the next episode.

I'm sorry, I can't contain myself as I am playing catch-up. NOSY NURSE IS GETTING A STORYLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? YASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drew just need to be killed already.

lol

So am I. I liked her last season. And she knows she can read.

RHOA I see you, Drew Sidora!!! At the BET Awards during Mya's performance. SLC Did finish filming and probably will start after OC methinks. POTOMAC Jassi's wedding was filmed for the show.

Ooooooo

6-6 Hmmmm. Not my favorite of the week. However, it showed the strength of Jazmen's script writing against RC's breakdown. And he's good enough to rise above almost all of RC's tics. Though I guess the real question would be would I have caught 'Carl' author thing if I had not heard it mentioned here? I felt the stories moved and while there were situations, they weren't the slapsticky I would expect from a RC breakdown. Well-done, Jazmen. I guess I liked it on a second viewing. I'm just sorry that outside of Bill's subplot and Chelesa's love life C plot, it did not continue the majority of the stories that were going on this week. I still liked what I got so I guess it was worth it for potential flow interruption. Though I have to note that Eva and Kat have been dancing around each other all week and since it is a by-product of the SilkPress storyline, I love how the story can be used separate from the main part of that plot, which kept this episode with a thread attached to the main stories of this week. It has been a minute since I saw a situation where a character has to get into someone's room and it seems plausible. Of course, Kat has to use her family name. That said...those scenes did not seem implausible at all, but that could be my industry experience showing. Meanwhile, Eva and Tomas continue to grow closer. But even I had to side-eye when he finally declared his interest for Kat. Because it seem like he had been working hard to give mixed signals to Eva and Kat. And NOW he's devoted to Kat? And I am smh at Kat thinking Eva is the one who ran Laura off the road now. Just le sigh. BUT keeps their rivalry going if she accuses Eva and it turns out to be false. Eva will be looking for the payback. And she will be justified. I know I'm in the minority, but I enjoyed the Doug/Vanessa/Joey scenes. I've mentioned it before, but of all the B stories, it was the only one that was given enough room to grow and had a build to it. And you could cut the tension in that room with a knife. Everyone gave a good performance. You could see the distance between Doug and Vanessa. And for all that drama...there still was more to play with the other shoe dropping of Doug finding out Vanessa and Joey slept together. Just juicy. Even if the end goal apparently seems to be money laundering. Lord...Bill wasn't really even out of the hospital for an episode without having to go back in again, was he? lol. Good to see his separate story progressing. Same for Chelesa and her love life. I'm not sure if Naomi is right. That said, I do like the cliffhanger of Mystery Woman being Bill's doctor. Not to mention Kat with the evidence.

RHOM Like I've been saying...my body? READY. NY I thought she did a while ago...but it's official. Brynn is OUT.

6-5 Case in point...lol. Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva. Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus. It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline. Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode. I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one. Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry.

First since I did ask given the tea over in the other thread where Ed would fit into it...AHA! I am happy and saddened at the same time to the swiftness of the reply to my question. However, Ed Scott has been in the business for a loooong time so to a great retirement.

Same. I'm surprised they didn't go with the booth since it is already a major part of their promotion. The rest...also good choices.

6-4 Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out. I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages. So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together. You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser. Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much. C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her. Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.
