She wasn't.

Hahaha!!! Just what I said about the above re: my comment to Liberty...parallels! We both agree about the hands. It's the who that I feel is the problem. In any case...I see what you mean.

NY Like I said last week, I figure whether this was going to be a good season or a bad season was how they handled the bombshell from the S2 trailer. The scandal of someone being pregnant outside of who they were with. And...? In a word: backlash. This show was already on a slippery slope with OG NY fans. Not to mention fans who liked the reboot. Not to mention those fans who watch RHOP and KNOW Eric. So the very idea of a whole storyline that was and has been promoted as MAJOR for this group being a FAKE storyline? Oooooo...even Andy Cohen was pissed on WWHL afterwards. Worse on worse for me...it was all of that on top of what I said last week. The individual scenes continued to give. Jessel with her mother and talking about Pavit. The growing Abe/Mel friendship and Abe being comfortable as a straight man to discuss on camera his exploring his sexuality...I gasped cuz...I do think he's cute. I admit it. lol. But good radar. Seriously, though we even got to see Ubah walking about her life finally. And the mini-groups are really where this particular group does fine. Because the running joke of what Brynn does for a living or Sai's hunger or Erin's events having little food will never get old. But HERE'S my issue... 1) So the person pregnant who has been a non-factor since she appeared this season. It would be something if Rebecca was giving. But she hasn't. And Brynn has been trying with her since the season started. But...she gives nothing. Funny since she was FINALLY sassy this episode, but too little, too late. Add on the fact the trailer made it seem like it was one of the ACTUAL girls and everyone that cares about this show...feel cheated for even trusting the narrative. 2) The filming of a whooooooole event where this all took place that was shown AS A FLASHBACK. That's what REALLY made me livid. It looked like a fun event. Everyone was dressed to the nines. And in the narrative on the show it would have fitted because Brynn has been pot stirring with everyone. And she had been digging into Rebecca already. And Rebecca finally showing sass meant there could have finally been some conflict. But...the whole event was off camera, and the audience found out secondhand. AGAIN. So the audience feels cheated. AGAIN. 3) Did I mention that this episode was a big prank...unless next week continues from this week's TBC and reveals it was a set-up to expose Brynn as the pot-stirrer she is. And revealing that it was a potential prank with the quick cut at the end??? After all this maneuvering throughout the episode...yeeeeah NO. NOW if this was Erin's way of exposing Brynn...a good theory since Production clearly did not have her back this episode with all the rollbacks they did on her lying...then that might be the ONLY saving grace and sets up Ubah vs Brynn. But sadly, this episode successfully destroyed ANY grace the audience was giving these new girls by these games. I mean...people are actually LIVID. And it does not at all seem like it's in a controversial fun-got people talking-gossipy good way. ERIN. Well, I guess announcing you're pregnant ahead of the episode where your husband is going to lay it all out on his sexuality is a shrewd move indeed. I shouldn't be shocked, but I was still shocked he was so candid about that because that does happen when you are in your 20s and in college. And I really love how Abe and Mel are bonding which allowed Erin and Raquel to bond as well. I found it cute. Now as for her stirring the pot by her telling Rebecca's 'business'...that's the thing. It does not surprise me coming from her. She's been doing this. So Rebecca yelling at her was accurate. But if it was all another one of her pranks...poor taste. UBAH. They are going to wind up proving Ubah right about pigeons. Because look at this whole episode. No wonder she did not feel like being a part of the game and stayed on the sidelines cuz why? Outside of that, it was good to see her out and about. JESSEL. One of the only people giving us a storyline. Her and her mother are always fascinating to watch. And now those signs of issues with Pavit last week appear to have started to grow. I did not like she believed Brynn's lie about Jenna though. Hopefully, the slight rift between her and Jenna now is a fixable one. SAI. Still giving me all the comic relief that I could ever need. I did not like that someone Eric took the rumor drama between seasons when Sai did the interview where she called Rebecca boring and condensed it down to two minutes of dialogue. But at that point if I remember the interview correctly, she had said that no one was doing anything on film that was anythng. This episode being a case in point. Now that I think about it...could this being cut out and the party with Rebecca vs Brynn being cut out be because of Rebecca's status as a Scientologist? Hmmm. RAQUEL. I loved watching her and Mel's rapport with Erin and Abe. And I would love to try one of those slutty punches. lol. JENNA. I'm so disappointed in her. I'm going to need her to let her other Gemini out and check Brynn. Granted, she does not know what Brynn said yet, but when she does, check her. Brynn is making her out to be a bad friend. And that's just not cool in this group that already have a bad case of Telephone. And then Brynn threw a ball at Jenna's face. NO, MA'AM. I know it's a game, but she totally did that purposely. BRYNN. BITCH. lol. The telling Jessel that Jenna called her a basic bitca (and Production proving she did not). Her running around telling Rebecca's 'tea.' Her starting stuff with Rebecca period. Her and the spit. She was all kinds of disgusting. Second season curse has struck her, and I don't think she's ever coming out of it. Those are my thoughts. I actually am not sure if I want to continue to watch next week though I still want to see the catalyst of Brynn vs Ubah...in case this was not the catalyst. Just...ugh.

Oh?

Hehe. You know I watched the trailer as soon as it dropped cuz...OTH...hehe.

Yeah...Bravo DID heavily limit where it would show...but by now I want to say it's been shared enough on Twitter that you might be able to find out that is not limited by location. My apologies.

Ha!!! I can think the name RAY WISE and not think of my beloved SAVANNAH.

That's very interesting tea to have given where Aidan's story has gone since then and what we know about cut scenes with Aidan. Hands? The hard reset came with the New/Old Writers coming in. I'm just making an observation. And with said observation, I gave a loose theory which I made sure to emphasis is a LOOSE theory. Because beside the obvious petty in Kelly M's exit storyline to date, it does seem some stories are having bizarre turns when these New/Old Writers were originally perfectly fine with either YAY for having stories they were originally attached to them before they were fired or just having stories...that were elevated by PM or introduced by him...vanished. Again...just my opinion from what I'm seeing. No. They were in a scene with Liz and Jason together at the hospital and it was so weird to see. I want to say that it was the first of Sam's last scenes with Jason but I could be wrong. But their past was not acknowledged, though there was tension in that foursome. Same.

*gasps* Now hold up one minute...who sent that? Watching now and I completely agree.

HEY BULGE. lol

Oh, really? Not Ms. Terri Demarco? Not Ms. Accountibility? Did you know this @Cat?

SLC MIDSEASON TRAILER!!!! yay!!!! You see the preview above or you waiting on the premiere?

You betta come thru with that earring, boy!!! lol. Love her! Always a vibe.

Thank you. Like I said yesterday, FV is petty enough to do something like that. I just find it shocking how all the storylines that dominated the spring/summer either vanished...understandable with a writing change...or took a turn that went in a 180 direction (at most) from the direction it appeared to be going. Now it seems like any interesting/controversial idea that made it through that time period is being choked out honestly. Hmmm...perhaps...to throw out another theory...the ideas were approved for a writer capable of giving them nuances and good story ideas? But alas. And THAT is part of the problem.

Thank you for this tea. So...Ed Scott is being HANDS ON, is he? hehe.

TBF, the Kristina/Joss rivalry was slowly being started before the recast and then stopped. A good thing since the audience definitely needed time to get used to the recast. I figured it was completely forgotten so I was glad to see PM pick up the feud. Some did assume yes. And then the baby died and Blaze left. And Natalia stayed so Kristina seem like she became a hot potato and not to be touched. Once Molly started being in scenes with Dex who she never had scenes with...some assumed that might happen. Heck Molly/Dex might still happen. I felt KV emerged as the better actress between her and Kate Mansi so putting her in the middle of mess that still could be potential drama (and still keep Alexis's daughter vs Carly's daughter active...though the appeal of Kristina and Joss feuding was Sonny's daughter vs Carly's daughter or even Sonny's daughter vs Jax's daughter would be higher stakes) a high possiblility. That is if the writers are planning to go there.

I remember it was very telling that Genevieve's last episode was Jill's return episode, they going/coming thru the same door. lol. From Monday's episode or the general opening? I would be down for that.

Now tbf...I still have hope that she's getting the Friday coda, but we will see cuz ugh. They went from some every episode to none. Or at least none I am interested in.

lol

YES!!! ikr!!! I was surprised by today's episode.

That would be sooo cool. I wonder if she will do some kind of shoutout/easter egg. I would love to see it. I am sure Toups will let us know, too.

That's what I hated about the rewind. She was slowly getting a POV. Still didn't like her but...lol. Same.

It does. I feel the same. Ooooo

Yeah, I agree. I mean...look at what has happened just in the first part of a spiral...MESS. Cody at least has had enough of a connection made to Mac and family and a nice written monologue for me to care somewhat. Sasha not so much until this latest turn of events and even I picked on the style in which it was done. And sadly, Sasha already appears to be recovering too quick for me. Yep. Pretty much. Same. Hopefully there is not more BTS drama to come from the hidden ABC guy. But then again...

11-6 Oh lord! Not the baby cam!!! LOL!!! But seriously, you all were not lying about this being messy. Michael already knows after Willow pulled this fake 'who I just didn't talk to 5 minutes ago' to Drew. And if looks could kill, Michael would have Willow and Drew reduced to ash. But again...can Michael say ANYTHING when he is running around not telling Willow he slept with Sasha. That said...it would be awesome if he showed that video before the election. But then again...he probably will if I'm right that they are burning off the last of stories that were clearly PM's. I was totally submerged in Alexis and Dante. NLG and DZ were playing their grief to the hilt. OMG NLG has Alexis looking like hell. And I really appreciated that they touched on the very thing that I was worried about for Alexis...if Alexis would fall off the wagon. Her getting back on the wagon and getting her law license back was hard fought. And I would hate it go down the drain. At least right now. So I loved the writers took that head on and Alexis expressed herself. And Dante and his grief. I thought DZ dropped the ball just a little bit a few episodes back, but this was more in my feels. I loved Sonny AND Olivia being there for him. And when he was talking about what he wanted...to have Sam alive again...I'm not sure who wrote that dialogue...but as someone who has lost someone that he was deeply in love with...that hit. DZ was pitch perfect...and I teared up. DZ sold that and how he's moving around Sam's apartment...just the presence. I really just wanted to hug Dante. That was soooo well done for me. I've been there. I felt that. The ghosts... If FV is going to do anything, he (just like RC) will find a way to get a guy shirtless. lol. Drew. Lucas. Not that I'm complaining. If malpractice or murder is going on, I do feel they are going a little tooooooo slow with that angle to Sam's death though. But at least they are hinting. Hm. For some reason, I already thought everyone knew about Sasha and Holly...lol. So it's funny to see Carly didn't know. But it was a nice way for her and Anna to compare notes. And then Brennan with the ID on Sidwell. Now how are they not a triangle again?
