Well, they filmed too much for her to NOT be seen. But hopefully, she IS back. I know right. I've been saying the same thing. The only time Gizelle irked me was (that Pastor Holy Whore cameo) when she did the conversation about the fundraiser with the other girls around. She knew that should have been a one-on-one. Otherwise, Karen won't listen. Same. From Battle of the Receipts to THIS? No, ma'am. Same, too. Her reaction to the bunk beds took me out.

Oh, I heard. I want to say I saw a clip on Twitter somewhere while MONSTERS was heavy in the spotlight. Speaking of...are you doing AMERICAN CRIME STORY, too? Cuz lots of bubbles been running around, too.

I remember and said that to you, too. But...I don't get it. It really was fun and suspenseful. In a way, it opened up the story a liiittle (but not too much) more than the original. While I love my deep movies as someone who loves independent movies very much, even I have movies that are just...there. When I see a Resident Evil movie back when they came out regularly, I went to watch because 1) I don't like zombie movies, 2) I expect to see Milla kicking serious zombie butt, and 3) the action is usually superb and the set-pieces are to die for, and finally 4) the plot ain't that deep though I love a good plot twist. I expect nothing else...either I like it or I don't. Usually, I love them. In fact, I'm overdue a binge...lol. And I'm invested enough to see the sequel which has to do the job of a good sequel and expand the universe the story is taking place in. But I feel confident they will do that. I'm just worry that the hatred for the first one might dismay anyone from seeing it.

For sure from what I see. They be messy. I find it funny because doesn't he have a possessive gf who is not at all liking his rise to fame allegedly. Heheheh. I am still seeing that second type. But I am behind on Niecy's show so I'm missing all the imagery outside of the assless chap gif. Which...mmmm to see how good the bubble was looking in his tight blue jeans on GH. Tbf, from what I've seen on pictures and clips, they BOTH are packing. Well if NAC stays with Ryan Murphy long enough...you might see everything, too. You know how RM roll.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I felt the left-in scene was Production showing foreshadowing for what's to come with the first episode of this new season's very first scene-Ubah vs Brynn, because it's becoming clear that Brynn is trying to make the show pop...not unlike a certain Ex Soap Opera Star used to do on BH...until she went too far. Ubah has been clear (not to her face, but to some of the other girls and her Confessionals) that she does not like how Brynn has been acting and manipulating things...which that scene with Rebecca shows her doing. So eventually, when Brynn is called out later on, we the audience already have the information. I bet Production will even show a rollback to back it up. I still like Brynn myself, but she is definitely dancing that line that Lisa (formerly Fabulous Ice) has danced the last two seasons of SLC and we know how I feel about Lisa now when I was one of her first fans when SLC started. Side-note...so it seems that allegedly SLC might be cutting out (or heavily editing) the Lisa vs Mary over the kids scene that has been rumored to happen later in the season. So explosive was the confrontation that it does affect the rest of the season so those Production would be scrambling for content. Personally, I suspect given how Lisa is coming across this season so far, Production is playing Favorites...but they also know Mary IS the favorite with the audience as well. So...a whole mess. But I digress. I feel so much for your mother hearing that. I'm happy that I grew out of that with people in my workplaces. Love really does transform a person. And one thing that makes me angry sometimes is people being impatient with someone who does speak a different language and English is not their first language. I encounter so many people trying to talk to me and my quirky bubbly Gemini makes me a fast talker so I try my best to slow down and listen. People be so shy or nervous about their accents, and I let them know they sound just fine. I even have a returned guest at my job who came back because I talked to her as best I could and we were trying to find the local Koreatown and Chinatown here in San Diego. I'm looking forward to the next time I work to see if she was able to find this DVD video she was interested in since there are not a lot of DVD stores around anymore. And yes, someone who can master more than one language is most definitely not an idiot. Mad respect. That said...I believe Brynn did say that she spoke another language...or two...herself. I just can't remember if it was in the show or during one of the videos showing off her apartments. But if anyone would understand Ubah, I would say it would be her. So I can't believe how much she's coming for her. And I'm hoping come tomorrow, she does not continue in that vein, or this whole conflict is a little bit of both parties at fault versus it being one person's fault. But...time will tell. And yeah...nothing will get me to step out of character now than someone yelling at me. It's like calling Cordelia Chase a bitca. It's an uh oh now. lol. I'm really liking the Hampton episodes for sure. Yes!!! They come across as friends, not hating each other. And I've been enjoying all the dynamics and shifts. I mean...usually we would for sure get Erin and Sai. Jenna and Brynn. Jessel being Jessel. But there's been a nice mix going on. I'm still mentally giggling about Sai, Ubah, and Jessel at the grocery store. And I'm happy to see that they are advertising here about the CLUELESS party this past weekend. Cuz so many people still love that movie. And will the references. I can't wait to catch them myself. And we know I'm living for Sai looking like Dionne. hehe.

10-22 hehe. How I giggled with Victor being Happy Granddad for Abby. Teasing her about where the wedding is going to be. But of course, Victor has to Victor...hehe. I've been loving him weaving his web so far this week. Using Adam to get to Billy. I think the only thing I did not like about Victor was JG using him to PROP ugh Chelesa. Yeeeeah NO. Hmmm Vicious Lil was out and about in those scenes with Nikki. I was glad they had that talk. And now Devon is dealing with Victor. It would be so easy for Lily to go and work with Devon and Nate again. I do like that her motivation for fighting Billy is about her worth and I like that. And I liked Lily saying it to Nikki, too. And how she be shading Billy has been a cherry on top. Love her meeting of the minds with Audra. Who would have thought they would be in the same boat? HELL NO to Billy/Sally. And Adam and Chelesa talking about their feelings was a long time plot-driven coming. Glad Chelesa said no, too. May she stay that way.

10-22 Wow. The energy already shifted. The week was already off to a good start actually. Carter and Hope continuing their circle. Deacon and Brooke having a cute little scene. A Sheila sighting. And then...Carter brings in IVY. I liked all of those scenes actually. I remember Ivy training under Quinn. And it's a plausible reason to bring her back. And we already had her appear earlier so someone for Liam to play with. And finally...Electra...young enough to be in a story with Will...hehe. Romeo/Juliet anyone? I also liked that Electra idolizes Steffy...potential for organic friction between Steffy and Ivy over something family related.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
SLC 'Don't you dare! Don't you dare.' That's right, Mary!!! GO, MARY, GO!!! GET HER ASS!!! LOL!!! Where do I even begin with this episode? lol. It was really good. Like the show itself, the episode started slow. As in slow burn. We saw housewives' lives that I couldn't care less about...lol. And then we started to see housewives' lives that we actually care about. We got little bombs. And then those bombs really exploded at a Housewife's event....an tongue-in-cheek Greek Mafia party. And that was just CRAZY. And just when you thought it could not get crazier with showdowns...it just got even MORE crazy. Heather has gotten insufferable. That weight loss and getting hype due to what happened to Monica has gone to her head. And I was happy to see that Bob and Mary comparing notes. I was excited to see that Heather has taken Little Girl's place on Mary's Drag List, and drag Mary did cuz NO ONE is cursing at her. Too big for her breeches Heather must have gotten. And then her attempt to gaslight Bob and Angie K failed and even The FOH got a dig in on her. Nice try, Wannabe. Outside of the comedy of FriendOfHeather, the main draw was the continued drama with Little Girl vs Lisa. And while I wished Little Girl had stood up to her harder a la the First Episode this season, I guess it doesn't matter. Why? Because Lisa had a full-on meltdown, threatening Little Girl with being sued on screen (are Housewives even allowed to do that anymore?). And the drama increased involving the Husbands coming to blows? Wait WHAT??? And a To Be Continued...with no promo for next week...Yeeees a great episode. MEREDITH. Outside of getting an apology from Little Girl and being background at Angie K's Mafia event...she was surprisingly mute. HEATHER. GIRL, BYE!!! The level of gaslighting she tried to do not one, not two, but THREE times. Guuuuurl, your slip is showing hardcore. And like one Tamra Judge circa OC S9, when called out by everyone, Heather turned tail and ran. If she WAS Jen, at least Jen would have given us a show. Again...nice try, Wannabe. ANGIE K. Oooooo her giving wealth with this party. She also gave a LOT of ATTRACTIVE MEN at her event. And the fact that right after Mary dragged Heather, she came up to Heather with the quickness to go in, too?? She was in her bag this episode. And an awwww moment with her dad. Did I mention her husband is FOINE?? hehe. LITTLE GIRL. OMG!!!! Just when I thought she was the messy one, her husband is just as messy cuz what was the reason he invited Jared to that Mafia party when he knew FriendOfHeather was there with a date? Hilarious! Meanwhile, Little Girl appeared to be getting to the truth of who was spreading the rumors. And Meredith got an apology. Still...I hope Little Girl does not back down from Lisa. BOB. 'Can I say bullshit in your house? I know this is a House of God.' BOOOOBBBBBBB!!! lol. But I continued to love Bob/Mary together. And the fact they revealed that they have similar family backgrounds to each other was such a real moment. Meanwhile, I loved Bob gathering Heather with Angie K as a good assist. Sent Heather running to the hills. MARY. Like I said...she's a kiki. And someone needs to keep Heather honest, and Mary is nothing, but herself with no BS. It says a lot that she can drag Heather. And then when Lisa vs Little Girl exploded, she was chatting with Heather again. And her scene with the kids after the dragging was hilarious. So was her getting FriendOfHeather's men mixed up. And to show up more real outside of her and Bob bonding, there was the scene of her with Robert Jr. I just feel so sad for her. How does she break through to her son? It's a subplot that I continue to feel invested in. LISA. GIRL, GONE!!!! If you want to bring in your security guy, the LA police, AND the local police...DO IT!!! Some saw it as her calling Little Girl's bluff. I saw her as bluffing. If I am wrong, I will be wrong, but I feel she did it. She was just tooooo upset and overdramatic over it. She could have just been...angry. *shrugs* Great episode. Sorry that Bravo killed some of the thunder by going ahead and releasing the end of the husband fight.

GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread
10-23 At last! They finally got Ric out of that jacket. And let me say...MMmmm...RH aging like fine wine. I loved all of his scenes today. Him having to tell the Ashfords/Robinsons that Heather is walking. And Curtis calling him out on that greed. Hm. And I cannot believe how much the Molly/TJ rift has been simmered beneath the surface. I was hoping that was going to happen, but I feel as of late the New/Old Writers have been more consistent with it so I'm enjoying it. And I LOVE those Molly/Ric scenes. RH sold that about Ric's own darkness oooooh so well. I don't think it's a chemistry test with Lucas, Isaish and TJ. I just felt that it was about giving Lucas friends if he's sticking around. Though Isaish and Lucas DO have some chemistry. Yeeeah those Sonny/Holly scenes fell flat for me. NOW they want to play Trina/Gio. Let me roll my eyes. And I thought the social commentary left the building when PM and DOC left so I was surprised to hear Portia's monologue. Not that she's wrong sadly. THIS.

10-18 So I sat down to watch the Giggly Heffa episode. I felt the JM and SC episodes were better, but we all know I'm bias. For me, I was actually shocked that I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was just so...schizo like her. Old age has definitely made that Giggly Heffa deluded. That said...I did like she was surrounded by her family. While MS is not at all my favorite, I feel she has been playing a mother on the verge really well this past week and look hot AF. The highlight for me though...besides how awesome MS looks with her pixie cut and seeing a young Josh Morrow...was Jack and Phyllis. That early chemistry was on FIRE and how seductive she was...you could see it all over Jack's face. I miss seeing that often in soaps so I was loving all of those segments. I do miss MS playing subtle though. And I will always side-eye her talking about Sharon being crazy when BOOM there's the 2012 flashback of her derailing a Nick/Sharon reunion by destroying a hotel room. GIRL, BYE.

Well, as promised...guess what I'm into an hour of watching? And you know what...? Outside of the hook ('Is Tamera here?'), it doesn't seem like a remake at all. Reboot, but I am finding it highly enjoyable. So I don't understand the hate, either.
