Now you hush. 😜 I'm still shook that it was not at all a fakeout.

You all make me scared for when I get to that part of the week cuz I have not at all missed propping.

Right after Derek read Ashley down after she turned down his proposal. I want to say they had one more episode around each other that took place the next day. Then it was an abrupt one liner the Thursday/Friday before the week break that Ashley told Andre right before she asked him out while fishing to see if Andre was seeing anyone else. Andre, of course, said nothing about what he has going on...and with whom. tbf she DID warn Ashley a looooong time ago. 😜 I was waiting for your response cuz Andre looked deer in headlights.

Perhaps a tag-team?

Same. And a slapfest moment with Carly.

Especially Drew.

Time for her to go dark.

Lord...Joey's on the warpath!! And now...so's Dani!!! HURRICANE DANI IS ABOUT TO SHOW UP!!! lol. Good cliffhanger. Good episode. I agree. THIS. She suuuuure did. Four Three weeks running...it was overdue a story turn. And what a turn, too. A failed attempt leads to upped stakes.

So...is that the last time we are seeing Randy? Every time someone mentions Hayley has a baby coming, I giggled. Is this going to keep going on until November Sweeps? That bubble is bubbling. Hehe.

OMG!! SHUT UP, ASHLEY, WITH YOUR CARRIE BRADSHAW A$$!! Don't feel terrible, Shanice!!! Good to see you OUTSIDE of the hospital.

EXACTLY, MARTIN!!!! How long has Kenny been talking to Ty? This is soooo darn creepy!!! But the drama from it....YES, PLEASE!!! Le sigh. This whole Dani/Bill/Hayley scene is screaming setting up the next leg of this A story.

First of all...JAZMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second of all...whoever said that Joey is probably going to count his money and realized some was missing and thus Kenny is probably alive...DEAD ON!! Lol. I can't even look at Hayley the same now that I know about that baby lie. Why is Dani here? Meh at Andre/Ashley. I'm seriously glaring at her like I do Giggly Heffa on Y&R. Derek looking kinda good. OMFG SHANICEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very.

Yeah, I'm having a rough day and decided to finally sit down and see how Riley is doing and so far I like it. It could be because it's current NYC though...which has been on my mind lately.

I didn't mind that spoiler at all. Cuz whhhhhhhhhhhhhhattttttttttt?!!!!!! Like mother, like daughter...in EVERY way.

Since I'm unexpectedly at the house...OMG, THAT WAS REALLLLLLL?????????

Ikr. And in that red buttoned-down. Yessir!

I've always had good memories of the city due to my first real relationship...not to mention a spontaneous Labor Day road trip. Plenty to see. A lively nightlife. And if you are looking for a dance floor...well...there's a biiig one that I know still exist. hehe. And it just seems like so many people from singers to actors to etc seem to be moving there. So I would hope it's become an even bigger melting pot than it was a decade or so ago.

I mean wasn't OC at 8 last year and did fine? Absolutely jealous!!! This weekend was rough on me and I'm still in pre-production about a much needed vacation. More soon Fingers crossed. But I know you definitely deserve one so good to see you got it. They pushed the RHOA reunion to next week. I can see that with Julia and Guerdy. And I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt until I saw the scene itself. Leading up to it Julia has been...not nice. And post-throw...not feeling her at all. Oh don't say that. I've been feeling the same. re: Julia's joining of the Mean Girls. And with Stephanie so far being taken into the group by Larsa, the potential IS there for this show to hit the toxicity that RHOM hit in Season 3. And we knew what happened at the end of Season 3. I'm wait and see on Stephanie.

Well, let me get started by saying that now that I know what's under that suit per this weekend, Jacob's father suuuuuure can get it. lol. I am soooooo happy the show is back. But the week off definitely hurt the momentum of the stories. There were definitely a lot of stories going on and it was a struggle to keep up...something I'm not used to with this show. Or it could be that the A story of Martin's Secret was not as focused has it has been for the past four three weeks. That said...I did love that there was a sense of 'closing in' in terms of the plot though. Smitty's investigation leading to tea about a link between Vernon and Marcel. That Jacob and his father scene setting up some stakes between them...which honestly makes me think that post-reveal will probably be when we finally see Jacob's mother and his fellow cop brother...who is probably a bad boy. The status of Joey, Randy (hey, Randy, hey! nice bubble), and Kenny. The fact that husband and husband are now keeping something from the other officially. And Martin's hallucinations/paranoia increasing even more. It's turning into a perfect storm. Doug/Vanessa/Joey are always going to give good B plot. I can believe Vanessa would be daydreaming about him cuz...VANESSA. But now Joey is thinking about her, too? Uh oh. And Doug trying to use his BFF against Joey?? It is about to get messy. I didn't get around to saying it last week, so I don't mind saying it this week. I love that we are getting a triangle with Chelesa. I didn't like how fast Chelesa and Madison were moving...and I appreciate Dani owning up to her pushing them into that Vernon meet...but I do like them. They have a good vibe. I enjoy both. And now they are in a potential triangle. I don't think I've seen a triangle between three black women and it's refreshing. And Allison is coming across a bit crazy, too. So I didn't mind it having B plot status this episode after being (well-deserved cuz it needs time) C plot status last week. THANK YOU SOAP GODS!!!! What am I talking about? Giving me a Dani/Vanessa scene. I have gotten used to Dani with Pamela, but Dani/Vanessa just...fit. Speaking of which, loved Vernon/Dani having another little scene where Dani showed how well she can read her father, too. And now Vernon knows about her and Andre? lol. I love how this is coming out. Wait, wait, wait!!!! The June storyline...which has also been a C plot...got a little bit of movement??? I think the writers have done a good job of making me care about her as a person. And I definitely care because I love Jacob probably too much and Naomi so I would care that they care. And the picture June cares about has a phone number?? And Naomi called it to be hung up on. Oooo the plot thickens. And good cliffhanger today. Though I'm sure it's Martin hallucinating again. We back!!! Same. I really have loved it as well. I think he is, too. He's giving me what I like to see when Chance is on a case on Y&R.

Same. That second one...has put me on break from the show. I just can't. I would have loved that. I always liked Cole and I never thought he would EVER come back. And I didn't mind him and Victoria back together. But for THIS? Ugh.

All these things I keep seeing about Nashville make me wonder. Personally, not KS. That said...I do worry if this will snowball into something else given KS has greatly bounced back and has been doing great work on screen for the past year. Godspeed.

I may have hated originally the writers going this route since I was for Sam/Dante/Lulu once Lulu woke up which would have given Dante so much more to do. BLQ had been off in her own stories, and it felt very 'circle in a square peg' but I can't fault the writers for remembering that Lulu vs BLQ has quite a history and good to see it being used for maximum drama. I'm not caught up yet, but I do look forward to seeing how I feel seeing BLQ getting her hands dirty...something she would totally do back in the day. Both girls are scrappers so it's an even playing field. I do agree that Dante has felt...there...outside of the rift between him and Chase which has been a solid friendship for both that has played out on screen for years. Same. I can't wait for Tracy to know everything, too. I expect great Tracy/BLQ scenes. Totally understand. And...he looks younger than his age by a half-decade so good genes.

And it holds up because they were the same way in the past as well.

GO, RORY, GO!!!! I am saddened that I will probably never seen Rebecca Herbst leading the list any time soon.
