lol. time is money, but he can leave the good disposables alone and go for the VERY disposables.

Hehe. Nope. As was mentioned a few days ago and I popped up and added, he...for now...is that character that is in not majorly connected to half the town and that's a godsend. And I like how the actor has improved somewhat. But the writing is simply letting him down. So I'll take a ship out, like TJ who the writing is letting down but not the extent of Gio, and poof! Gone.

Hehe. Same. And I can't wait to see what they do about promotion.

Nah. Keep both. Kill off another useless person.

It was a good tease for me and I would love more.

In total agreement. I blame on Billy doing this revamp for having that sofa. See? Showing the front door to me...though I was happy for the camera angle...just showed that it looked...well...cheap. But a different setup...I think it is totally possible. I saw a whole other section was just added to the Abbott living room set and seeing this set again, they widened out the left area. Ed Scott just needs to keep right on going.

12-09 Awww at seeing Dex, Joss, Gio, and Trina together in the tree lot. Woulda coulda shoulda. lol. I had seen little things about the Liz/Lucky scenes. So I was not sure what I expected. Or how I would feel. But...I find my feelings mixed. It just seem like such a meet-cute. And when said meet-cute did not feel forced...which is how I liked meet-cutes...it really holds up and draws you in. JJ and RH are just so prefect together at points so it's funny to watch them dance around each other. And the scene with Lucky singing intercut with the flashback was sooo well done. But...perhaps it's just the fact that it's not my favorite pairing of Liz's that is on the current canvas. But I can be seduced into it. In any case, I love all this screen time for Elizabeth on my TV. FRAK YOU, KRISTINA! So you feel nothing about throwing that rude comment in Molly's face. Alright...I won't feel bad when Molly FINALLY slaps her in the face. And I liked that Molly put Alexis in check. Kristina wants to start again, when they should be putting their differences aside due to Sam's death...well...as another brunette with great hair used to say...GAME ON. Lulu as the C plot = meh. I would rather see Laura with HER DAUGHTER, but I still did like that Laura was talking out her feelings. And I see Martin has his accent back. And so...the rumor IS true. Cyrus killed Sam. So he's Dead Man Walking. And I guess we know why Dex is on his way out the door...

SLC A solid start to the cast trip. Lisa vs Bob. I knew it was coming for Bob to fall in with Angie K, Whitney, and Mary as friends, but seeing it unfold. It echoes so much the issues that Lisa and Angie K were having at the beginning of the season. Which is probably why when Bob was gathering Lisa at the dinner table, Angie K was sooo co-signing with her nods and looks. She's been there, done that. Lisa just is not a good friend because if your friend felt slighted, it's easy to smooth that over with an apology. Instead of explaining the room assignments like she did earlier in the confessional, she wanted to explode and be HBIC in her glass house...which Bob easily shattered. smh. And the other standout so far from the trip was Angie K. She was already doing great due to her great scene with Mary earlier in the episode. But her at that dinner table. From fighting with Meredith to fighting with Britini (yes, I'm using her name ) was funny. And it was good to see Meredith and Angie K reach a truce...again. But WHO put that bag in the chair? Just asking. LOL!!! LISA. I would think that when your friends keep mentioning how you yourself treat them, a person would do some self-reflection. Not Lisa. smh. The sad thing was that if she had only explained her way of thinking to Bob, I felt Bob would have understood. So since she refused, I didn't mind Bob gathering her all the way together. She even got strays. HEATHER. Irrelevant. And she tried. Inserting herself in between Lisa vs Bob. Ignored. MEREDITH. How petty of her to bring that gift to have it put in the chair to start mess with Angie K. And then Angie K threw it at Slutty Hair Brit...lol. But seriously, Meredith is at least working that feud with Angie K this episode. I'm just not sure if she will be able to let it go. WHITNEY. She got one good moment in there. Which is more than Heather so #winning. BOB. I was ready to be over her given how she's been acting the last several episodes. And she did not start off well at all this episode. But Lisa's refusal to give an apology irked me. And what irked me even more was the fact that Production cut out part of Bob's daughter storyline and a scene between Bob and Lisa that would have gone a loooong way to explaining why Bob was feeling a way on this trip. I didn't like that at all. I loved she was gathering Lisa though. Turned her every which way, but loose. Oh...and her being attacked by a dog before the trip was wild. ANGIE K. Was all aces this episode with me. Her and Sean and how shady he is toward Meredith was hilarious. Her being a good friend to Mary who finally opened up. A good choice given Angie K has similar family experience and could empathize. And then her at the dinner table...lol. She still has a way to go, but she can take on several people at once and she can READ. GROWTH. MARY. Awwww. That was so real. I was crying all over again watching Mary open up on camera. AND to another Housewife. Angie K was a good choice. A friend who took it in, can do discretion, and showed such empathy. Mary expressing how she was feeling and failing her son was just...heartbreaking. And to think...she provided such a funny moment right before that confession by walking into Angie K's house without her knowing? just hehe. No wonder she got an article in Vanity Fair today. A good start to the trip. And next week...MARY.

12-12 I was about to say a meh episode and about fell out to see the CHANCELLOR MANSION set!!! I mean...wow. Have we seen it since the Abby/Chance breakup? I would love for Ed Scott to do more with it, but a good start to see attempts to make it look like it has space. Kyle/Claire as Romeo/Juliet? Yeeeeah NOPE. That said...I guess the Victor/Claire and Jack/Kyle scenes were okay. At least Claire got to sit down with Victor directly. And I loved her bonding with Nikki and Victoria over clothes. Meanwhile, while it's a good story beat to play to see if there are any aftereffects from Jack and Diane fake fighting...I just didn't love that storyline so I would rather it was done, done. Love the beat being hit, hate the story. Nate/Audra are love. And I'm all for SD in those pants. And awww at that Lily/Devon coda. Storylines closing out.

Oooooo love. TT with that drapery on one side and her hair on the other walking toward the camera is giving diva. DD with the bob and side turn is giving vixen. And KM with the golfclub. Over that dramatic music...YES, PLEASE.

LOL!!! Very much. I was happy she said it. Cuz why your giggly ass here in the first place when you could go to Society for her harassment needs. Speaking of that...Billy saying he's the last one to know is a lie, too. We all know that's ABBY.

Hehe. Oh, you!! Them facts. I know how I be with my phone.

12-11 Yay!!! So they are picking up the plot nugget they dropped from when Sharon met Alan. Good. I called it then at the start of Sharon unravelling so good to see it being picked up. That said...SERIOUSLY, GIGGLY HEFFA??? You now have doubts about Sharon running you off the road and your hatred for her is THAT much??? GIRL, BYE. Speaking of byes...STFU BILLY. I'm happy that Jack told him the truth about the manipulation, but of course Billy had to make it all about him. The only wrong move Jack made was offering Billy any kind of job. Let him suffer. I do have to say that I love seeing SC's hair styled a whole different way. It looks nice. Oooh now Kyle/Diane can be civil when Diane was saying the same thing at the start of that whole stupid storyline. Whatever, I'm happy they appear to be moving past it. Ooooo what are you planning now, Victor? I giggled when Sharon said that.

I agree. I do feel Carter/Hope were too rushed. And definitely not Carter/Quinn.

Oops. I guess getting sick got me posting in the wrong thread so...

I miss both.

Thank you for letting us know @slick jones. He definitely had a wealth of knowledge. May he rest in peace.

THIS.

I could see that. And it totally would be enjoyable. Or if it does get extend and Forrester gets returned to the Forresters...Hope and Carter split off to form a rival house...getting B&B back into fashion duels.

12-10 Well, that took a turn. I was happy to see that it was revealed that it was Jordan drugging Sharon this whole time. And I am curious what Ian's endgame will be. I did love the little bit where Mariah felt Ian's presence. Oooo. Dare I hope...she's the one that sees him first? But that will probably wind up in the kidnapping. Go, Sharon! Good to see that she is willing to be hypotized to get to the bottom of this. Being proactive, rather than reactive. Like Giggly Heffa over here. Good for Faith to defend her mom. Giggly Heffa can have soooo many seats. And I loved that now even Daniel is having doubts. Love seeing Ashley, but those scenes with her, Abby, Devon, and Dominic did nothing for me. Meanwhile, those scenes with Nate and Audra, which were about nothing, did something for me. Could help that SD is looking like a snack. Him and that bubble. But I enjoy Nate and Audra as a couple so good to see them being one. But any talk about Audra and her ambitions has always been in her character and she's verbalizing it often enough for me at least. Good start.

THEY BETTA NOT CUT IT, EITHER!!!! Love that RHOA S9 was brought up!!!! MADE THAT SHADY WOMAN WORK!!!

Lord...lol.

Agree. They should really had used a soap for that timeslot. Or dare I say...some BTS closer to the date?

Say it ain't so!!

Anyway... Good for her.
