10-17 First of all...Ric...YOU...BETTA...READ!!!!!!!! While Kristina got some good licks in, Ric dragged her every which way, but loose. And watching him with Ava...it hit me! Am I about to get a new soap scheme team? I'm torn, but YES, PLEASE. And this was all part of Ric's case for Ava to get Kristina to look unstable...perfection!!! It was also great to see Alexis out and about and walking. And is the TJ actor currently filming something else cuz those earrings are new. Oh and thank you, cameraman. That said...so...they did it. Sasha IS Robert's daughter? Robert Scorpio? Hmmm...honestly, I'm LIVID from what I said yesterday. They been around each other for 6 years and now THIS pops out. And to add salt to the wound...those New/Old Writers were doing the two things I loathe in their writing...the 'wacka wacka look at me' humor with lame quip of it all for one. And the other is the Lloyd Gold writing stuff of dragging out the reveal in the 'just spit it out already' dialogue as if it creates build when there are much better ways to do it. And the David Vickers reference just sent me over the edge. I will always love OLTL, but FV LET...IT...GO. I can't even think about the cool possibilities cuz I hated the reveal. I also mentioned how I love seeing Dante and Sam in a blended family. So it was nice to see that all on display in this episode. And then that coda with Lulu was haunting. I will be watching Friday later on tonight to see if I was right about the cliffhanger.

Oh, I wasn't sure. lol. #fullmoon But so true. I am surprised Gizelle had me on her side for most of the episode, and the start of next week. And awwww thank you. I don't think I'm ready to sit through any of her stuff, but always Shannen.

SLC Another good episode. And what really stood out was the real stories. The best housewives are authentic as well as over the top due to personality, not to spin storylines. And there was a lot of that on screen. The most stunging was Bob's storyline with her daughter and her babydaddy's family. I mean....wow as it did what Heather's storyline no longer does...shows Mormon life. And the blurred out faces hit. The pain in Bob's voice and her face resonated. So much so that Lisa actually had to step out of her 'me, me, me' mode (though I spied that wiping of the tears to not mess up her makeup) to be real. I get emotional just typing it. I really want to see more of the story going forward toward the finale. And then there was the more brief scene with Mary and her son. And I'm invested in that as well. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. Mary continues to show WHY she's a great housewife. Also...Her dragging Heather....YASSSS MARY!!! DO IT AGAIN!!! GET A LICK FOR ME!!!! CLOCK HER!!! Meanwhile...I'm over that FriendofHeather. That man (okay, he's foine) is just as thirsty as she is. And I broke down and went online to see what the deal is (like Lisa said). Okay, I see it. As for Little Girl finding out that Lisa, not Meredith is behind the rumors by a BLOGGER!!! I...AM...LIVID on THAT. Is that not the whooooooooooooooole reason Monica was excommunicated off the show??? Hypocritical of Lisa, Heather, and the majority of that show. So...a reason for her to come back since she got yet ANOTHER mention this week. LISA. How dare she get offended that Stoolpigeon...I mean Heather told her what Angie K said about her kids when she just brought up Angie's K's kid last week. She don't get to be offended. Moreso since SHE started it. And then SHE is the one behind Little Girl's current business trouble. If she is going to be the villain...she needs to be all here I am. (C) BH. She only had a few brief moment of humanity with Bob. And then she caught herself. No need to play to the camera. RME. HEATHER. I may not have liked Heather too much post S2, but if you had told me that I would dislike MORE than Little Girl, I would have said you were tripping. Oh, how the tables have turned. I can't stand her now. Watching her stirring the pot. And anyone talking around her about Lisa is exactly like anyone telling Ashley on RHOP their business. I was just shaking my head because I KNEW it would get back to Lisa by HER. And I was right. And then she wanted to be so quip about it in Confessional. 'well i would have never told Lisa...' GIRL, BYE!!! I loved every minute of Mary reading her a$$ down. From the black eye to the body positivity to Heather's other actions, Mary let her know she sees her. Fake a$$. LITTLE GIRL. And look at her. Just hanging with her family. But that tea from UpWithAdam...who now that I think about it has a podcast with MONICA hmmm...letting Little Girl know about Lisa being behind the rumors was quite the bit of tea. Especially given Season 4. ANGIE K. I SEE YOU!!! DOING YOUR BEST KENYA MOORE. lol. I am still hollering about her and the 'Who has Lisa Got into It With' List. Meanwhile, her and Mary continue to be a ki-ki. I can't believe she took Mary to a dancing class. And I can't believe they ran into one of Heather's daughters. Another real moment. lol. MEREDITH. Was she even in the episode actually? MARY. Dancing classes, stringlining, scenes with her son. You cannot tell me Mary did not hear the complaints about her and listened. She's having a great season so far. And she is STILL being herself. And like I mentioned...she read Heather down for her two-faced lying self. And to think next week Heather is going to try to step to her. Again...GIRL, BYE. Mary will eat her up. BOB. Some housewives talk about being transparent. And some housewives SHOW it. And Bob did that this week. But this year has seen a lot of new housewives show up and show ALL of their lives. And they are not boring housewives, either. They have interesting backstories. Jenn on OC from where I'm viewing. Keiarna and Baby Kenya on RHOP so far. And Bob now with her daughter. I tend to do other things sometimes when watching, but her scenes slowly but surely drew me in. And at one point, I just stopped and watched. I had looked and saw that pain and went wait. So I watched. Just...well-done. Next week we have an event at Angie K's with her FOINE husband. Heather vs Mary. And Lisa vs Little Girl with the husbands involved. You betta work, SLC!

Oh lord with this wacka wacka humor of a rewrite. And oh look! A OLTL reference. RME.

You're right. Hate was the wrong word. I was just extremely disappointed. I still like La Grande Dame. But her behavior...like the drama over her DUI case that happened online yesterday...is just making me shake my head. Moreso because I'm hearing good things online and you all about Shannon over on OC. Their DUI are night and day it sounds. And I looked forward to watching it play out when I am done catching up on OC. I agree. As a whole...they are soooo back. lol.

I miss Elizabeth. A good addition, wrong season?

hahaha

Well given the list of inconsistencies already listed online, that can just be added to the list.

FINALLY!!! I mean...YASSSSSSSSS!!!! I was worried about the new theme since online opinion appears to be mixed, but you know what? I...LOVE it!!! lol. Collectively I liked them all. Especially the newbies!!! Though I love Keiarna's more than Stacey's and she's second. Messy Mia, Ashley, and Wendy's taglines are good. But I found Gizelle and La Dame's the weakest. Shocking for La Dame because she usually has the best.

Yesterday or in the past?

Ooooo I could see that. Perhaps Sasha does not know her mother is dead.

Oh how I hollered at RHOA S12 enactement of Kenya showing how Nene iced herself out of the group. lol. Go, Angie K!!! That said...I agree. The fact LITTLE GIRL was the one who hit it on the head with her conversation with Adam from UpOnAdam...A BLOGGER...how has Lisa doing what they all were doing with Monica's page just last season any different than now? No reason for Monica to be gone then!

Expected.

hollered when I saw that.

Ooooooo

IKR. *shivers* That would be such a lead balloon.

HAhahahahaha!!!! That was my worry once I thought about it among the fanbase. Just the fact that Robert and her would be on screen all these years and never know. My mind was blown.

Uhhh...

YES. ALL OVER. ALMOST NO REST.

10-11 What in the world!!! As a spiritual person, I don't know whether to laugh or be offended. Is THIS what Brad had in mind bringing Taylor back? Just to embarrass her over and over again? What mess is this??? I did enjoy Carter and Hope circling each other with no one the wiser. And awwww at Liam trying to get Hope back...complete with flashbacks. And now that he got a hint that she might be interested in someone else...I wonder if he is going to try to find out who it is.

10-16 Awww. Dante can come over here and let me hold him. Given what's coming story-wise, I knew there would be more focus on Dante. Moreso once Anna gave him that leave of absence...but DZ is just hitting it out of the park with me with Dante's reactions, POVs, and those eyes. Loooord. That said...NO to Dante/Liz outside of friendship. Liz already has THREE people on canvas if they want her to be with someone. All with proven history/chemistry. Speaking of one of Liz's guys...oh, lord...Isaiah lol. Every time he looks at Jordan, his look reminds me of how Ric looks at Liz. I love this actor. I even enjoyed him and Jordan having dinner. All I can say for Bad Guy Du Jour is that he must be watching all of them right now because he has not approached Holly at all yet. And that whole debriefing with my Beast, Anna, and Jason just seem like a case of the New/Old Writers not having better things for Jack to do more than it felt like recapping which is what it was supposed to be. And I'm surprised that Felicia did not catch on that Holly was fishing for info. That said...already reading the thread ahead of time, I still gasped at the Sasha bombshell. Well directed. And given the beginnings of Sasha's history (brought to town on a con)...that makes sense. Well...at least Sam told Dante as the episode coda. Given how this is moving...and it's Wednesday, will Sam be the Friday cliffhanger or will Lulu waking up be it? Or a Friday for each one?

RHOP Now that I got wiggle room. LOL!!! I know it is still early in the season, but this episode (and the clip from next week) was great. The season still was maintaining its freshness and the amount of newbies is shifting the dynamics in a good way. Add on all the FOHs running around (personal note...loving seeing so much of Vivian who has always been rumored to be a HW for years), this season has been giving vintage RHOA and S2/current RHOM for me when we had cast, husbands, FOHs, side characters and I don't hate it. What I do hate...is LA DAME. Yes, I said it. I wanted to sit on this for a few days. I know I have long discussed here my views on lost parents. And I've long done battle with people over La Dame's. However, as someone who has lost a parent, if anyone was going to understand where Gizelle was coming from, it would be her. I felt she would support her, if leave early due to the memories that might come up. What I DID NOT EXPECT was her to be at a party at the same night AND time as Gizelle's fundraiser. Worse of all, when I'm on Gizelle's side...1) Hades has frozen over and 2) you are very, very WRONG. I can't and won't defend that. And yes, I saw La Dame's group text telling the ladies to go to Gizelle's already. That...was NOT cute. Moreso given how much support Gizelle has been giving La Dame for her DUI so far. They were in a good place and now she might have frakked it up. LA DAME. And to think she started the episode so well. She and Gizelle had deflected onto Messy Mia and her event did not take a toxic turn. Gizelle and her continued to be the best HW frenemies duo out there throughout the episode. She even got to introduced Wendy's Friend New HW Keiarna. So it was sad to see that NEXT DAY blackout, and La Dame pulled that move. I just smh. Even her close friend Vivian went to Gizelle's fundraiser. Granted no one raised a gun to their heads, but La Dame knew the women loved her more than they do Gizelle. Though I understood why Wendy and Keiarna did not go. Meanwhile, I still feel the feud this season is definitely going to be La Dame vs Messy Mia. GIZELLE. Like I said...Hades froze over because I found myself on her side throughout the episode. If someone disrespected my deceased parents...which was still raw on her mind...I would be the same way. I might be even now. So Gizelle continues on her apology tour. Speaking of that, I DO NOT at all appreciate that Production ended the 2-hour blowout between her and Wendy down to a barely 2-minute weird scene. After 3 years of feuding and viciousness, they needed this sit-down, and I was glad Gizelle gave the olive branch in the first episode. I was looking forward to it. And only to find out...Production does not want to give us THE REAL. Then why the frak are we watching??? Gizelle being accountable...which is the ONLY way the whole fanbase will ever be on her side...is what people REALLY want to see. ASHLEY. You ain't slick, Forehead!!! Well, I guess it's nice to see Ashley back in play. And by back in play, I meant that she was being messy. She knew the ladies were running late and allowed them to come anyway outside of Gizelle's wishes. We see you!!! And I was shaking my head at Stacey for giving Ashley all of her information knowing that Ashley will probably use it against her. WENDY. THANK YOU, WENDY!!! For? Dropping the sit-down tea. Otherwise, I would have watched that scene funny like. I also liked that she stayed at La Dame's event. She figured the ladies would not get there in time and also I hoped she sent a note like what she said in her Confessional. MIA. She is really going at La Dame in her Confessional. So funny she still went to La Dame's award event though. Meanwhile, her crying at the start of the episode and then getting over it once the girls tried to cheer her up is sooooo vintage Mia. STACEY. BABY KENYA!!! hehe. I soooo agree @Cheap21. She so looks like Kenya's circa RHOA S5. Some of her looks. Her mannerisms. Her vibe. It just favors soooo strongly. And they are both from Detroit, too!!! Some people online say she favors Toya from M2M, too, and I can see it. So far? I love her. She has a friendly vibe, interesting backstory, and potential personal storyline. And she has taken a very Garcelle's first season of BH approach to everything, and I like that. I like her. And she fits in perfectly with the cast so far. KEIARNA. YES. lol. Those confessionals...GOLD. Cuz her saying she was not going due to what happened the last time she went to a Gizelle event...see? A queen who can laugh at herself. Meanwhile, Gizelle already shading her by not inviting her to La Dame's bday event. Hmmm. So far? I love her as a HW, too. And she also has an interesting backstory and personal storyline to tell. And she feels a natural fit in the cast as well. YES, PLEASE. Can't wait until next week. Happy to see this group find one so YAY!!!

Hmmm I wouldn't say that. While it probably very well will end up lip service, I thought it showed some commitment to have Lucas have scenes with Ava which I admit I felt he barely had scenes with her at all, but then again I had stopped watching GH regularly during RC's last year and through Passante. I do feel going forward he will have scenes with Carly cuz Korte to keep him relevant, but I feel he will continue to have some scenes with Ava as well. And probably Third Place being Maxie. Now...will he have story? Now while people care because it is a gay character, most will focus on that question simply because Lucas is a legacy character. But I might be answering my own question cuz...FV.

Very.
