RHOA A promo!!!

1-30 Well, I guess MO going to recurring has taken full effect now lol. She's gotten more mentions over this last two episodes than her appearing. Cuz Tessa being saved by Abby, but not seen was a WOW moment. I really liked all the drama surrounding Ian's showdown with Victor. I really did. Ray Wise did great. Seeing everyone show up was good. And I loved that Sharon got her moment to close out a storyline that started with her with her monologue to Ian. But it was really the stuff with Mariah and all the Ian flashbacks. Like I said, I wasn't watching then so it was really great to see Ray in action and see how twisted the Ian/Mariah relationship was. It definitely made me miss Mariah's edges. My only disappointment was no sign of the Damian storyline. I guess it shows how invested I am. lol. It was. 😜

Thanks for this. Le sigh for Rebecca back low on that list. And Taji didn't appear at all?

I was thinking it was in March so cool. I mean ending as in end of episode, not as in ending. Anything pass THIS point of your post WOULD be spoiler for me. So once my eyes glanced some names...since I have started the episode mentioned BUT have not finished, I bounced.

If I'm not mistaken, it was during Maria Arena Bell's run on the show. To this day, Phyllis still thinks it was Sharon since all she saw was the back of Christine's head. Also one of my favorite secrets never revealed.

I thought their kiss was a great coda to end the episode given they have been in each other life's coming up on a year since he popped up at Bobbie's.

Which if William Bell was still alive, she would be a masterpiece. As is...yep. I don't like that just as the sisters finally get along...even more drama. Not even good drama if I'm honest. So boo to Brad's writing.

1-29 Shoot to kill? Yes, I'm down for that, Beast. lol. I actually enjoyed the Brennan and Carly stuff. But perhaps I'm bias to seeing Charles Masure in a robe. I wished the writing was better for Gio/Emma. For every moment where it had that annoying forced couple writing, it got to a point where it felt like it was getting organic, revealing character. I don't feel a think about Jason/Sasha. Another thing that felt forced to me. I even rolled my eyes at her even trying to fake her way out of admitting that she slept around, and it could NNNNERVVVER be Michael's. GIRL, STOP. I did like the possibility of Cody finding out she's expecting and feeling some kinda way about it. I mean...there's no bad blood between Jason and Cody. None that I can remember. Or is he hurting that it seem Sasha got over him so easily? I'm surprised that Anna and Portia didn't share as much notes as they did about the murders. Attempting to stall the Cyrus story. I did like the little moment that Dante and Lulu had though. DZ gave so much with what appeared to be so little. Meanwhile, AB totally picked it up and revealed a layer. Loved it. NO to Tracy and Martin. I mean what did the writers do? Copy and paste her scenes with Gregory with little rewrites? smh. Well, at least they are putting that salon to good use I guess. Awwww at BLQ. AS sold those 'need her mama' scenes. Yes, I swooned at the Brennan/Carly kiss. About time!!!

1-28 It's funny watching this seeing what was discussed about them quick cuts. lol. This episode does not appear as extreme, but I have found Elizabeth Korte-headed episodes to be the episodes that still have some time to breathe usually. But it still had that silly humor because Tracy's harassment of Sasha makes no sense now that Sasha and Cody are related which was really why Tracy felt some type of way about Sasha Sasha/Cody relationship) if I remember correctly. Silly for silly's sake falls flat. Definitely a good episode. I loved how Tracy and Sasha talking turned into a typical Quartermaine everyone-in free-for-all. Which I thought was hilarious, typical, and mostly organic. I was so happy to see Ned. And the only uh oh I had was when Gio was talking and the camera pannied to Lois. Watching her. Oh, lord...she already knows EXACTLY where BLQ's baby is, doesn't she? It made me think of talking to @carolineg about this. Well, at least BLQ appears oblivious to the possibility. And Sasha letting everyone know she's expecting. I had forgotten Michael told Jason. So his part of the story lives on now that he's out. Hehe. Look at Trina trying to get Portia to let her crush down easy. Nice to see Portia and Isaiah loop Alexis in on their beliefs. I expect NLG is about to start cooking in her side of that story. I had forgotten about Emma again. Which is good if I'm going to get used to her. I didn't like her scenes with Anna this time around. How she was picking on Anna was making me see flashes to the era of Eli Love/ImmaAGranny Anna and was shivering. I know Anna has been regressing under these new/old writers, but let's not regress THAT much. Mmmm Brennan in a robe. UGHHHHHH at seeing Valentin. But credit where credit is due...how HELENA of him. hehe.

Thank you!!! He has such presence of power...and easy on the eyes. I can see why both women feel a way. And adding on he has kids as well! A power keg of story there. And I feel he may be a presence of power, a villain, but that he will probably grow layers as time goes on. Cuz why lose a great actor if you don't have to. He definitely has IT. SCREAMING!!!! LOVE.

I agree with that. When Lulu finally came out of her coma and the writers got to the reunion scenes, while Frank style of quick cuts were still trying to cut through those important reunion scenes, I felt overall mostly the writing as well as how the actors brought their A game STILL elevated the episodes. Perhaps it was my anticipation because I wanted Laura's kids back in town this time last year and was getting my wish, but I did feel most (not all) of the episodes gave the reunion scenes time to breath IN SPITE of the quick cuts. It's just a shame that for every week or two where we get great momentum, that someone BTS backslides the rhythm with nonsense mess...that not even the writing...and sometimes the actors...can't save.

1-28 Oh, lord. I thought it was rumor. But are they really about to make Finn Luna's father. Cuz...ewwww. Not to say it doesn't make sense with him being adopted...which I forgot about. But it STILL seem too close to home. Li is going to Li. lol. The irony of the fact that if Finn IS Luna's father...everything she has ever said about Poppy would be true. And just when they had agreed to mend fences. How I feel about Ridge and Taylee is how I see whenever I see Billy and/or Chelesa in scenes together. LINT. But I have noticed that Brooke appears to have upped and vanished. Is KKL on vaca?

Wow. But true.

RHOP And just so we know...Mia's Representative AND Jassi were at the reunion. And I did like Jassi's dress. Now let's see if she drag Ashley some more.

It is! With her messy self. lol.

And the fact of who said that. I was surprised that's WHO has been saying that for months in promos the whole time. I thought it was Tamara. For those in her audience, it was a very special treat. LOVE.

Same.

Cool!!!!

Not the Grande Dame getting the line we've been hearing in the promos...

OMG!!! You all were just debating last week on the sister dynamic between Dani and Nicole only for them to drop a WHO'S WHO with a great scene showing their dynamic. Very much 'I can pick on her, but you're not family and not about to do it' indeed.

RHOP Now as for the trailer...WOOOOOoooow. I didn't even think it would be worth watching. And then 3 parts still, too??? But that was GOOD. Just like Brynn on NY (who also will be getting her lashings from Rebecca and she ate, too from a released clip), everyone coming for Mia and her getting lashings...yes, please!!! Gizelle has a lot to make up for with that. And Wendy is bringing up MIAMI. So La Dame did do a video. And she appears accountable and that was all that I wanted so good. If Stacey is going to do ONE thing, she will keep her heel on Ashley's neck so I'll give her that. As for Wendy...I loved Too Much Wendy from the S6 Reunion so I'm down for her to be that way at this one. I was LIVING. Mia storming out?? NO, GURL. Like Porsha Williams would say...you wanted to be in the hot seat...and now you are. ENJOY IT. Can't wait to catch up. You're welcome. While I also think it was default as well, Gizelle I feel has put in the work this year. And while the main fight was Messy Mia vs La Dame, Gizelle finally coming out into the open midseason to come for Mia...it fits just as good.

Exactly! Everyone at least knows about the drama with Kenya. So they could have easily got ahead and started to tease that...like Puppygate on BH S9. Have it shown for half of that trailer and BOOM! the exit...just like LVP. And then the other half is the recovery with Porsha/Shamea holding it down with the 3 newbie spotlight...ending on Shady Phae Phae...just like Camille owning the last half of S9. With the other storylines littered through that format. It writes itself. Not without some trial and error off of the information on the technical support thread on this page. lol. Basically, when you are on Twitter at a post, there's 3 dots (...) that you click on. Then click on Embed Post. A new tab opens up, and you can either click embed link or embed post. A rentangle box pops up with a copy button. Click copy and it copies it for you. Then you come here. Click on SOURCE at the top of the SUMBIT REPLY box, paste in the link, click on SOURCE again. It embeds the post. And then you can post.

1-28 I tried. I honestly tried to get through the Billy/Sally scenes because it's a good set. But as soon as Billy started to whine continuously about the fact that Jill didn't like his silly name change (which btw I giggled when NIkki took over and changed the business back to Chancellor), my finger could not help it. It went FF. Was that part of Sharon's house always there, or they are trying out a new camera angle on it? I loved it because it looked so much more spacious. I continue to like the Mariah scenes. And Sharon being there for her. And poor Nick. He tried not to tell them about Jordan, but still had to. Victor, Victor, Victor. lol. smh. I enjoyed Michael having something to do and waiting for Ian to show up. It did make me see I'm going to miss Ray Wise. He was just giving so many layers in Ian's scenes with Michael. Especially once Michael told him about Jordan. I guess he really did like her. While Jordan gave crazy (and CZ selled it well), Ian just gives crafty villain (and RW sells it well). And look at him with the gun. Now he's giving dangerous. But...now it does look like he really doesn't know where Tessa is. Which of course is making me wonder where Tessa and Aria is. Look at Y&R! Upping the stakes.

Thank you for doing God's work. This has been on my mind as I've been watching as of late.
