It sounds like the Kyle takedown season that I've always wanted.

Thank you for the information. An end of an era given how much story Michael used to drive with his very presence.

Yeah it's looking that way from online reaction. No wonder everyone came for her in the reunion trailer.

NY WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME, JENNA!!! REUNION TRAILER.

SLC Wait! People catching hands? lol. But that was a good finale. Not as good as last season (nice try with the speech, Heather, but that was no receipts, screenshot speech. ), but still was entertaining as all get out. Because just like with the SLC Dinner Party from Hell, the cast was already on their way to the last dinner 17 MINUTES IN...you knew you were about to get a show. And this...??? WOW. The shockingly many times Mary had Little Girl's back against any and all gang-ups. Mary's conversation (in front of the group) with Angie K. Heather and the phone game. And Angie K's text message...not to mention the return of S5 Opener Whit with the bombshell that sent Lisa (and Meredith) spiraling. So well done. LISA. Heather wasn't wrong. Lisa might be allergic to themes, but she most def ain't allergic to a theme party that is all about her. RME. At this point, Lisa has become such an easy target. And how Little Girl made sport of her, in light of the fact they were getting along, should be studied. Now the stuff with UpAndAdam...did they forget that Whit had him on the phone in an episode at the start of the season? Lisa is the only SLC Housewife that has a liquor brand so...was UpAndAdam being messy to start drama on the show or...??? Meanwhile, how Lisa reacted to Whit's text message is EXACTLY what I meant when she broke down crying and it felt like a genuine moment with Angie K and Bob last episode and this just came across as performative. She knew Whit got her, and a hit dog will holler. And I didn't at all like her lack of self-awareness to bring Angie K's hubby into that mess when the fight had nothing to do with her. Weak sauce. HEATHER. Again...nice try with the speech. 😜 And she was not wrong about the Lisa theme party. And I actually did like she received Mary's text message because it was all true. Just looked at her text about her own cousin. She has allowed Production this show to go to her head, and it has shown for a long time. And now she has a thinner bod and is Lisa's BFF which she has wanted since Day 1. And like a scene from an 80s/90s movie, it turned her into a mean girl. Now...is it really about found self-confidence, or was she just a mean girl all along. Let's see if she proves Mary wrong. MEREDITH. smh. How the mighty have fallen. How is it that the show's soap heroine has fallen to trying to find moments? Girl, you were the moment. Well, she did her one solid by getting into the middle of the Little Girl vs Lisa fight by revealing the tea about UpAndAdam. And she's lucky Heather ran interference with the phone game because Mary was about to eat her and Lisa up. Defending Little Girl of all people. MARY. MVP. No question at that. She stuck the landing for her renaissance on this show. She still gave good moments as she revealed her vulnerabilities. How Angie K running to comfort Britini and how that turned into something bigger. Then her conversation with Angie K...in front of EVERYONE??? GROWTH. Because the Mary of Season 1 would NEVER. And the talk about abandonment issues and found family really hit home with me so I got in feelings given some of my own personal issues going on currently. And because I cannot say it enough...she low-key had Little Girl's back throughout the episode. LITTLE GIRL. The Mary of Season 2 would NEVER. Again...GROWTH. ANGIE K. You would think these ladies would have learned by now to not talk about Angie K's marriage. And yet there was Lisa using it to deflect off the fact that S5 Opener Whit was coming for hers. Smh. Outside of that, I loved her fighting for her hard-won friendship with Mary. And her text message....ooooo. BOB. Outside of the phone game and her text message, she was a non-entity this episode for me. WHITNEY. Girl, you earned me calling you by your real name. LOL!!! Because she was giving Ashley Darby kind of pot-stirring and mess!!! I was hoping that she would stick the landing of showing off the Whitney we saw in the season five opener and she did not disappoint. In fact, they COULD...NOT...TAKE...HER. I'm still laughing at her sticking her finger in Lisa's face. The thing with the tags. Her not backing down...though she did fumble for words a bit...when Meredith ambushed her with the UpAndAdam tea. And then the coup de grace...her text message. Come on, Girl...you knew that would set Lisa off cuz you did the cardinal HW sin...talking about the husband. And set Lisa off it did. But unlike earlier when Lisa tried to snatch up Whit's wig, Lisa ran. Score one for Whit. Score two for sending Meredith (Whit's other rival this season) right after her. If she is like this for the reunion, I'll be right with her. Fingers crossed, my tv system gets fixed so I can watch.

Very. I like what one of the comments said...it was giving THE MENU, but with music instead of food.

GO, DOM!!! lol. I see Murray Bartlett's keeping popping up. And with my girl from THE BEAR.

Yeah, I will probably go for a walk. Haven't seen much of anything. Helped by my TV system going down. Not sure how my social media is going to be given how it was already a slippery slope over the last year and I had already begun to cut back on it outside of business and taking on a hermit mode who occasionally socializes. But even that is changing and I'm getting to a point where I just don't have time for giving out energy for people who don't at all deserve it anymore.

I feel like tomorrow is going to be a loooooong day. Not helped by people already stuck on the kind of stupid that a gay black boi from the South no longer young is already tired of. It will be interesting to see how much growth I truly gained over the last two years versus the four long years ahead.

lol. That doesn't seem crazy to type. You be happy and excited. It's very...well...exciting.

lol

Beat that drum!!! I love seeing them with a diner, but I haven't decided yet. I need to see it 'in motion.'

As usual saying a lot of how I feel better in words than I. One thing I have liked watching the last few episodes has been...even when she has had some bad moments...Ubah has been a good friend. The episode before the last one had that as a spotlight. Which made her being all kinds of tone deaf worse. Same about Erin. Her and Ubah have definitely been shades of good and bad. And I might not be liking Erin on this trip, but I expect her to flip the script once they are back in NY and I feel sympathetic toward her again. Cuz right now, she's being the same way she was on the trip last season. I continue to love how much you are liking Sai. Brynn is definitely making the trip bad, but the last two episodes for better or worse have not been boring. Jessel eating Brynn up at every turn has been a clear highlight. Jealous trick.

'Who are you to tell Erica Kane...' IKTR, LA LUCCI!! That segment was great. And seeing that OLTL pic just got me teary-eyed. I have faith that KM can bring it as the wild card given what I saw of her on B&B once Maya went bad, I feel the potential is there. I'm more interested in Dani...just her vibe, her presence...and I remember the actress from OLTL and loving her as a recast. And I love seeing the spotlight always on the Duprees and how they are such the core four in pictures, promotion, and interviews. A solid place to grow from. 27 sets!!! YES, PLEASE. And just seeing MVJ is inspiring.

That's good question since Sonny had no problem bumping off a FBI agent only a few months back.

Speak on it. And so excited that BTG is getting some more promotion with that segment tomorrow.

I didn't even think of that! re: Thursday being new day. It was just the conviction in how JE played it. And it definitely did not feel like stalling. I can't wait to see how it turns out next week. Yeah it's been the writing on the wall since Sidwell popped back up as FV's flavor of the month/villain du jour. I still feel they are stalling his exit a la Peter August because, while the storyline pieces are right there and coming together nicely, no one still has catch on that Cyrus killed Sam, Dex, and (almost) Michael. Even the new story beat of Joss now being a potential target and Liz as Cyrus bait has been lost by mid-week when they should be flowing naturally around the Michael drama. It's a solid B plot at this point that could be rotating in and out of the Michael drama/fallout which was great A plot.

I love that. A little over a month to go...

1-17 Yeah, now seeing it, I stand by what I said yesterday. Thursday was the weakest episode of the batch of episodes this week. But I feel for me, like I said before, that part of it no doubt are the actors, but part of it is who is the HW at the top of the credits. Love her or hate her, the 'historian' just tends to have scenes that really resonate. I also don't feel like it is not completely implausible most of the time. And I almost always like the intriguing ways the stories go which usually seem full of possibilities. I mentioned earlier that I loved that they played the beat of Cody vs Drew. It felt like for a few episodes, they were going to build that into something. Only for it to turn into nothing. So good to see them back into each other's face...even if it's only to add another suspect in the 'murder mystery'. lol. Bonus for adding Jordan into the mix for that as well. It goes without saying that Drew as a prick works for me and CM is running with it. Definitely hitting love to hate out of just pure hate. Lulu as BLQ's assistant. Even I kinda was taken aback at her wanting to work at Deception. Memories of JMB's Lulu. I was hoping that she would go back to being a reporter which worked wonders for Lulu and I felt AB could pull it off, too. But I did like that that very fact (Lulu as a reporter) was brought up on screen. And there is so much potential for a Lulu/Maxie/BLQ triangle so to speak. Lulu was sleep for 4 years and Maxie has a new BFF who happens to be Lulu's nemesis. A nemesis who has grown. Meanwhile, Lulu is 4 years behind. There is so much potential for organic drama there. Mmmmm Ric/Ava. But hahaha at Ric taking her money. I liked seeing some non-whiny Ava. I'm not sure if I felt that Ric had a point, though. I mean...everyone else is doing emergency custody fights. Why not Ava? Watching Sidwell wander about town had me wondering today...has he even run into anyone who has reason to arrest him yet? Jason? Anna? Lucky? Because it feels like he's just hanging around waiting for Robert and Holly to come back for February Sweeps with no endgame in sight. And awww at Willow reaching some kind of compromise with Carly and Sonny. And those scenes with Carly and Michael were good. But everything with that as Portia explained and Carly tried to get them on her side to send Michael to Germany was pretty good. I enjoyed Lucas and Brad had a moment. Highlight...shocking no one was Tracy. Outside of the last few seconds of the episode, Tracy was nothing, but cunning, paying off Thursday's end of episode where she promised she would be like that. And Tracy was flawless. She dragged Chase, checked BLQ, and then took on Drew and the PoPo. And all I could do was think STFU DREW...WHY IS HE EVEN HERE? UGH. LOL. Love the twist of the kids flying the coop. I bet she let Jason run off with them. Can't wait until next week to find out the truth. Well, Cyrus might be gone long before that so... Same. I was looking forward to BOTH jobs because they fit for both of them and have plenty of storyline possibilities.

Now you know I like surprises. Always down for speculations though.

I would have rather seen Lucky with Felicia, but Spin is a good choice, too. I also think PI screams his name. He gets to be close to his family AND get to scratch that Spencer adventure itch of his. I enjoyed that, too. And in light of the discussion of youth...I thought it was cute that this popped up...

Same as above. Look at everyone pivoting from the career that sets them in a new direction. Alexis. Lulu now. Felicia. And yet they can't find something for Lucky that makes sense?

Whhhhhhhhhhhat!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. I'm glad to have this last weekend to myself to get my mind ready. This is going to be a looooooong four (hopefully) years.

Wack Chase again, Tracy!!!! Wack him for me!!!! lol Good to see they are still playing this beat.

EVERY...ONE. I agree. Her presence definitely has the gravitas needed.
