LOL.

RHOP 'I didn't have to go the streets.' 'You were the streets.' OOPS. And then Stacey at the end...LOL!! https://x.com/OMFGRealityTV/status/1852386437901029671

Looks like the picture wanted to glitch. Pity. But it is what it is. ETA: Oops. Looks like it fixed itself.

OOooh, I remember that. That made sense THEN. It does not NOW.

LOL!!! Not you sounding like what I posted this morning after watching 10-30. But to be fair...I've have noticed that is how I've been feeling since last week and sadly it IS increasing. Like you I find it lazy and oh so sloppy. So...since I brought it. Is that how block-taping works? If so, he needs to get his money back. Same for how LH filmed when she filmed as Sam I believe. And then there was two. Because I said the same thing. And I was OVER the 'wacka wacka' vibe they keep trying to put over scenes that need to be play serious. They did that last week or the week before with the Holly is Sasha's mother reveal and I was livid. Thankfully, they had the basically same scene with Holly, Felicia, and Maxie and it was played more straight (cuz Maxie would be snarky about that and that was IN CHARACTER), allowed to breathe surprisingly IMHO, and humanized Holly greatly. More than the first scenes with her and Sasha.

Going by how people mention FV's technique to get these 'hip' 60 second 'primetime' cuts of scenes...I believe the answer would be yes. Ah!!! That was the answer I was looking for! Because just watching this week's episodes...it's just...ugh. But I couldn't remember what FV's way of 'editing' works. So thank you. He really ain't S^&* for that, is he?

Stop playing my song!

smh

^^^^THIS. So of course he will probably go there.

*shivers*

OC REUNION TRAILER!!!

10-30 Le sigh. A whole ass mess. The biggest mistake? The fact the New/Old Writers took any tension from the end of the last episode and went ahead and hit NEXT DAY rather than play it out from where they left off. And then...those shaking camera angles for Sasha/Michael...uhhh NO. I'll give credit for the twist of Michael/Sasha sleeping together with the nice foreshadowing of them having scenes again...but this was all lazy writing AND sloppy. It would have been nice to have Michael show up at the bar at the end of last episode, do your actor switcharoo, and then let the scene play out with a nice coda at the end of THIS episode. It would not at all interfere with the other story beats in this episode which still could have taken place. And now that Michael knows the kiss was not a one-off thing...I can't even get excited about him getting payback on Drew because I can't trust the New/Old Writers to NOT be sloppy. And now look at Drew. SMH. So much potential under PM. And now he looks like a creep. I was happy to watch Willow give him the business since she should have told Michael. If anything going forward, I guess it's not a bad thing to see with the breakup of Sasha and Cody that Sasha is being spun back into Michael/Willow/Drew orbit with some Cody mischief. But out of all of them, I am wondering what Cody's next moves will be. So the scenes with Cody this week have done their job. I feel more invested in him. Hm. Since I now knew it was coming, the hospital scenes felt paint by numbers. Those I enjoyed seeing Scout and Danny with Jason. And I enjoyed Alexis with Sam and Jason. But as soon as Portia and Liz ran off...I knew. And I liked how that scene played out of Jason suspecting. I felt SB gave a lot. I know some people online did not like how NLG came across. I guess I can see it, but I didn't feel she was tanking her scenes or anything. Meanwhile, given what was said here, I was worried that VH was going to come across camp AF. That said...VH did good to me, the reaction of a brother trying to save his sister. And I've watched ATWT and know how over the top his acting can be. I found that restrained for him, but still in the moment. And Portia and Liz were still more restrained and emotional than him. It was a nice contrast. That said...I didn't like how it went down for Sam. And sounds like it will be a case of run her over with a truck and back up over her. And given the online rumors and KM's last airdate...I guess the backlash will show itself soon enough if the rumors are true. So far...Tuesday has been my favorite episode this week. But this week as a whole is coming across so sloppy. Agree. I enjoyed how PM may all naysayers take notice of characters who had been so useless. And I ate it up with how adult it came across. Only for it to turn into THIS. Willow with her halo. Drew coming across as a creeper. Nina just a cameo. It really does. Very random. Ooooh clearly.

@slick jones well I wasn't expecting you to drop Victor Webster and hottie Barash. Mmmm...and loving the current pictures of both. Not to mention the MUTANT X pic for Vic.

And then they dragged it for a week before it took hold. lol. But very.

I feel tomorrow is going to be a busy one so just in case...November Sweeps...or Sleeps? DISCUSS!!!

Same.

RHOP And so it begins...the first cast trip. And Score One for La Dame. It was a given that people were going to be coming for her. Messy Mia. Jacqueline. Gizelle. Ashley. It was not a matter of who, but when. La Dame's DUI (and Mia's general messiness) have been the storyline this season. So a given. lol. But with the La Dame Grande, her Season 1 comment, continue to be true...people come for her all the time, they just don't find her. Meanwhile, the newbies continued to do great. It wouldn't be a Housewife show or a trip without some drama over room assignments. And Mia did try to be messy. But Stacey handled it like a boss. And Jassi has been bringing it still as a FOH. Meanwhile, both stay on Ashley's neck. lol. It was a great start to the cast trip. And then we had a cute little bombshell courtesy of a Mia ambush on La Dame having to do with a buttdial. My question is...if it ain't Ray...is it Blue Eyes? But...that's for next week. LA DAME. Why do they keep trying you? Lol. But seriously, the only person who I felt had the right to come at all for anything was Gizelle. And that I was happy to see Gizelle...though I did not like her method of doing it...do just that. I would like to hope that La Dame took it in and listened to Gizelle and what she said. Hopefully we will see once Gizelle comes back. In any case, this episode was La Dame maneuvering and maneuvering WELL. Highlight was her destroying Jacqueline. Sorry. While La Dame is in the wrong for the DUI, she chewed the Sidekick Jacqueline up and spit her out, leaving her a crying mess. Jac is playing with the big dogs, so she needs to move accordingly. Not cry, turn tail, and run. GIZELLE. Another good show for her. I really respect that she told Karen how she felt about the fundraiser, how she had been a good friend to her, did not like what she did. Going forward, at least, Gizelle was upfront about that. What I didn't like was that she did it in the group. I would think for this to be sincere, she did a one-on-one. With cameras of course. lol. And I liked her poking Mia a little bit with the living situation. I really feel without the Roommate anyone around, Gizelle is really having to navigate how she moves. And I feel she is doing it subtly, but she is definitely doing it. WENDY. ''I know you two have issues, but these next two days are really about me.' LOL!! Go on then, Birthday Girl!!! lol. And other than being a good enough friend to La Dame to not badmouth her and reactions, Wendy was just there. ASHLEY. It should say something that halfway through the episode (and after a lot of wine heehee), I forgot she was in the episode. And lord she tried. I hollered at Jassi and Keiarna ignoring her in the van as they were getting to know each other. And then...Stacey and Jassi were on her neck again in the boat ride. She really has nothing to give now, do she? MIA. It's funny really. She was there, but not there post her ride with La Dame. Of course, she did not need to be there since her representative Jacqueline was there to stir the pot. And I felt it was telling when La Dame was getting Jacqueline together, she gave very little assist. But that's fine. She made up for it with the ambush at the end. Meanwhile, she already trying to start a little mess with Stacey, too. I just wonder if it's because Stacey is a newbie, or is it to do divide-and-conquer on La Dame's allies. STACEY. 'Come to my planet. It's marvelous.' GO ON, BABY KENYA!!! lol. She continued to be a vibe this week. And how she reacted to the bunkbeds is how I react to stairs in houses...so I totally related. lol. If that was a trap set by Mia, Stacey rose about it with her reaction. We know I'm loving how she stays on Ashley's neck. That said...I did see her do some subtle shade twice this episode. I'm telling you. She's going to be a ninja. KEIARNA. I feel like she's done more, but I can't think of it outside of getting to know Jassi. Or was it her that set up the Battle to be Mia's Sidekick? Still enjoying. THE HONORABLE MENTIONS: MIA'S REPRESENTATIVE. JACQUELINE. Lord...she's trying. And failing everywhere, BUT UP. Everyone already poking her for being Mia's sidekick. Trying to stand out only to wind up rooming with Mia AGAIN. Battling with Jassi over being Mia's sidekick. Getting dragged by La Dame. Just...smh. After a strong intro several seasons ago...I can't believe how she's fallen. JASSI. Still going strong. lol. 'You're going to be sleep with Mia anyway.' 'The neck up. For sure.' She stayed being a quote queen. She owned what she said. And as always, stayed on Ashley's neck. A good start to the local cast trip. This show is so back.

Loving these. And that picture of them opening the doors to the sets...just...WOW. A moment.

I don't think she would either. Loves her directing if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, I would die if Jonelle Allen shows up.

Excuse me...WHAT???

And then there was three cuz I read that and went

10-29 Well...gotta get the good out of the way. It was nice to see Robert Adamson as Michael again. And I LIVED for Tracy/Ned vs Drew. Not that she doesn't all the time, but JE was playing cat that ate the canary to the hilt. And her reaction to Ned naming James as the person who heard was priceless. Drew has become so unsufferable, but he has ALWAYS been that when it comes to ELQ which I have always felt was Tracy and Ned's right as the OG Qs so I was living for them blackmailing him. And it says something about how Drew feels as a Q that he immediately gave himself up. You know what? The breakdowns of Cody and Sasha are actually giving. And I feel that's because the actors not the writing. I was worried that Sasha was adjusting better than Cody, until that coda at the end. Good. And even the flashback to what Cody said was well-done. Even watching it for real, I felt that scene resonated so well-done on JK who also did a good job with Drunk Cody. And the whole plot beat reached a new level of good when MAC walked into the station. I know what today means for me so seeing a father/son scene play out before me with an actor who I love who plays a great dad was going to make me go awww. And that sells the character of Cody more which is why we should always have our vets. It's a small thing...but I liked the follow-up on Lulu/Sam's surgery. Go, Isaiah. So in a way...Lucky helped. Now the bad... Drew couldn't even debate being blackmailed for an episode? I don't know whether to call him a POS...cuz he only did it to spite Ned/Tracy rather than to protect Michael...or a case of rushed writing. And speaking of the reveal to Michael...how...anticlimatic? I was at least hoping for it to happen at an election rally or something. And Dante proposing to Sam. Salt in wound much?

Yep.

Ooooo it's happppppening!!!!
