Hehe. Tbf, that page always does that until the season evens out and THEN it will note again when it gets higher. Which reminds me...does anyone know if OC is at 8pm or 9pm as well cuz I'm still playing catch-up with last season. Last week RHOP was low (especially for RHOP) however if I remember correctly ABOVE every show BUT RHOC. At the time, I wondered if it was on at 9 or 8 since my system (well, my shady landlord) kept my tv down and how that would affect the ratings. Cuz right now DUBAI, RHOM, AND SLC were/are on at 9PM here and I remember so many fans being livid at that and not watching versus if you put a HW show on at 8PM...which everyone is used to. I also wanted to see how other Bravo shows in the 9 PM slot were doing for comparison.

Nice hot take. And love you like Liz from 'GO.' One of soap's last classic good girl heroines. Also love that even as a new viewer you have no need for Sonny. lol.

BROOKE DAVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooo

NY Well, going forward for THESE girls, they are going to have to always have a Hamptons trip. I thought their trip last season was funny. THIS YEAR, it is already off to a good if messy start. And some of that is because the girls are now used to each other versus last season where they were getting to know each other. That said...yeeeeah, the ticking time bomb that is Ubah vs Brynn continued throughout this episode. And while it was stopped for (hehe. 'Pineapple.') now, yeah, I can see it coming. Ubah established last season that she's chill to a fault, but if she feels disrespected, she will explode on you. And Brynn is not above exploding herself. And I think that will be what will happen because Ubah does have the girls' number...especially Brynn's. It has been established that the girls be talking behind each other's back. And then when the one who everyone was talking about finds out, it has turned into a whole other thing rather than a simple misunderstanding. So Ubah ain't wrong to say it or express that she does not feel comfortable with all the mess or having her words twisted for a show. And Brynn sadly has been all about making a show. So someone pointing out how insensitive or fake Brynn is being was going to make Brynn feel a way. The fact that they STILL are having fun so far is a testament. And fun to watch for the audience. ERIN. Now Erin...lol. Speaking of people pot stirring, here she was trying to pot stir between Ubah/Sai and Raquel. And that just made Ubah even more annoyed. Glad that was cleared up quickly. Also glad that her and Jenna can joke about the car incident now. JESSEL. She was just there to look good and gave such good Confessional moments. She was definitely giving in on the joke, and I was not hating it. Oh and her kitchen shade was awesome. SAI. Someone else that was in on the joke. Cuz her and the Lunch Box...right after I just made a comment about Erin better have food ready versus last season...I DIED. lol. Meanwhile, her vs Brynn. Brynn came out looking sooooo bad. Worse when you factored in that Sai apologized to everyone in a group text. She simply wanted to express her feelings and how Brynn made her feel to only feel disrespected by Brynn. I liked Ubah tried to stand up for her. JENNA. Speaking of bad looks...shame on you, Jenna!! YOU were the one whom word was what started Brynn vs Sai in the season opener. So now to make Brynn feel better, Jenna conveniently 'forgot what she said.' Yeeeeah no. RAQUEL. Loved her backstory. She really has done a LOT. AND a model? Wow. She truly has been living. And glad she made her way out of a potential petty feud with Ubah/Sai. UBAH. Perhaps her delivery was wrong. And okay it was Sai's problem more than it was her problem, but Ubah was still telling the truth about Brynn. And she has that right...after all, Brynn was the one who told off about her man. And has been stirring the pot since the season started. And now Brynn is running around disrespecting her and the other ladies. No wonder she is slowly losing her fun light. BRYNN. Just like La Dame on this week's POTOMAC, I love you, but I cannot defend what you did. It was so clear as day. So was her attempts to deflect. She can't be coy sexpot one moment, stir the pot the next minute, and then try to be the victim for something you did yourself the next. It was exhausting. And she really just seem mad that Ubah has now caught on to what she's doing and rightly calling her out on it because it is messing with the group dynamic. Good episode. Ready for next week's mess...

Hahahaha!!! YES!!! I was meh over the wedding. NOW with THIS and the news in the other thread...I cannot wait for the wedding tbh. Jill laid down the law to Billy today, and I cannot wait for her to come to town to collect. The fact that Victor in the B story has taken over the A story position that was Sharon's storyline in the span of a week says something about JG's writing. But darn it if watching Victor with the payback has not been hilarious to watch. There is so many moving pieces. But...can anyone one-up him?

10-15 GET HIM, JILL!!!! GET...HIM. God, how I missed her. And while I didn't like her on Monday in the Zoom with ponytail, but I loved her today. And that hair...that lovely wh*re hair...God bless Jill. If only I got a diva head toss. But I loved her dragging Billy and him throwing one of his tantrums did not sway her at all. GO, JILL!!! And THANK YOU, LILY (and Chance) for getting her caught up on what's been going on. GET BILLY AGAIN, JILL!!! GET HIM FOR ME!!! lol. I just wish she was back in the flesh. Oh, wait...SHE'S...COMING...FOR...THE DEVON/ABBY WEDDING!!!! YES, PLEASE. And her dissing Giggly Heffa was a bonus. Outside of that...this week has already gotten off to an uneven start. The good news...it IS looking like it will be a great week. Victor is weaving his web and it's going great. He already knew Nikki would crack and tell Lily. And I love he's not mad, but it was part of the plan. And Nikki is not mad at him, either. And now he's slowly manipulating Diane. This is going to be gooooood. My God, LB is doing great as Lucy is dealing her grief over Heather's death. I admit the ugly cry got me as she was talking to Faith. The fact...that obsession aside...Faith was able to be there for her was a good moment. Giggly Heffa pushing the Sharon storyline along was much needed. I was honestly surprised that Chance searching Daniel's place was not the Friday cliffhanger. I was even annoyed at it being stalled. That said...it happening at the end of the episode makes me want to watch it tomorrow. I honestly zoned out over all things Adam/Chelesa/Billy/Sally. Though Courtney Hope stays looking fine AF. And I'm gay. Just wow. Bombshell. But that story is just a mess now. I enjoyed Nate being there for Audra and trying to cheer her up.

Expected once I realized it was on at 8pm.

Yeah, it occurred to me watching the Ric/Liz scenes. I mean he's involved in Wagger's death, Heather's potential lawsuit, Ava's custody case not to mention any drama with Liz and/or the Davis girls. You have Diane who is involved in Wagger's death and about to be submerged in some Robert/Holly drama, not to mention being at the Qs beck and call. Alexis might be out of jail now, but she has to deal with the feud between Kristina and Molly. And will probably have her own court case to deal with soon enough. Martin just got Alexis off for the Wagger death. But will probably get another court case or help Ric with Ava. Connected to Laura. And then we have Molly who wants Sonny to burn, was involved in the Wagger's death case, has her feud with Kristina, and it's looking like she's about to be feuding with Joss if what looks like is happening IS happening. Intertwined a bit but yet...not stepping on toes. And I'm sure I've forgotten some plot threads, but that's just off the top of my head. Scotty's missing out.

Amen. I thought it was great to know that at the moment, we have FOUR lawyers (5 if we count Molly, 6 if Scotty ever makes it back) running around the canvas (Ric, Martin, Alexis, Diane) and it does not feel like any of them are stepping on anyone's toes. My way of saying that Ric soooo belongs on the canvas. And yes, that chemistry is still there. A very smart play for Brad. Unless Portia mentions it to Ava... Same boat. I feel like Liz is always around now and God bless her for that. Dare I hope she leads the October Cast Thread next month?

Or both. If people had to choose, I feel they would pick Martin over Cyrus. But overall, NO. I don't find her unnecessary for the current plot. But she is giving that 'wacka wacka' humor these writers like to use versus more nuanced writing. Same.

Hehe. Wasn't @Khan just saying this this weekend? lol. The timing!!! That said...OOOOOOOOMGGGG WE ARE GETTING THE RANCH SET BACK!!!! AHHHH!!!

10-11 I felt the week was watchable. Then again, when Victor was Victor-ing...hehe. I'm actually going to be sad when the Victor/Lily part of this plot are over to be honest. It's been fun to see Lily with an older scheming mentor of sorts. But Devon cluing her in to what Victor's intentions truly might be and Lily figuring it out slowly, but surely, climaxing with a talk with Nikki...another character that I've been enjoying Lily interact with as of late...was bittersweet to watch. And that's not even mention how Lily figuring it out with Victor/Nikki impacts the Devon/Abby relationship now that Devon/Abby are getting married. And Victor stepping in on that is bound to also lead to some drama. Cuz we know Devon won't keep his mouth shut once Lily confirms what he thought. And to not be outdone, Victor pushing the growing rift between Jack and Diane has been delicious. And it doesn't help that Diane is a few steps away from Diane-ing herself. Sad to say since it still feels abrupt to me. Still I enjoyed her brief scene with Victor. You know what? Team Jack. Those Kyle vs Jack scenes were simply explosive, each of them getting in some great digs. And I really want Jack to go through with his threat. But Kyle doing that preempted strike on Jabot's new product was the kind of old school Y&R that I miss. The only problem for me...was...it was the first time I was bothered they found out sitting around Society. Plausible and helps with the sting, but I feel I would have liked it more if they had been at the Jabot offices. I also like the Jack/Claire scene because it reminded me of how Jack still to this day treats Nick (and also Adam) like stepsons, so I appreciate the kid gloves he used with her as he was talking about Victor. Sharon's storyline felt like a solid B story even though it pretty much was the A storyline being on throughout the week. Of course I loved the Sharon/Nick fantasy, but I'm bias. That said...I do wonder if there will be aftereffects in reality once this storyline is over. I continue to enjoy seeing Chance in his element as a cop. And CF has never looked hotter being able to do what he does. Nate's potential connection to Amy Lewis and the misadventures of Teriah was straight C story. But I guess it's nice to have C story on this show.

So was I. People were mad before I watched the episode and I saw Wendy's tweet. And then I saw the episode. And while given the results of what happened I'm Team Gizelle (I know shocked), I was not Team Gizelle on this. And I saw why people saw red. After all, their whole feud started with Gizelle, and Wendy had the right to bring that up. We all had to deal with their feud for THREE YEARS. How dare Production let Gizelle get away with accountability, moreso when Gizelle doing so would be the only way people would be on her side. The fact most STILL aren't on her side after last night's episode says a lot about the hatred for Gizelle...and I would think that if Production are trying to soften up Gizelle again for the audience, they have to have the common sense to know there is only one way to do that...she has to OWN her [!@#$%^&*]. As for Keiarna...she's a Housewife this season baby!!! As for why she was not around, I won't spoil that for you. But I can't wait for your reaction to her and the other new housewife. I love them both. And the fact they have so many FOHs to play with this season outside of Cha Cha is making the show so vibrant again. I love it.

10-14 Hahahaha. Well, that looks like a job for AVA to me, Doctor Robinson. But that...is at her discretion. lol. Seriously though, I would say the highlight of the day was Portia vs Brad. As Brad lorded over those results with her name on it. I'm sorry, but Liz might be mad at him, but she suuuuure does light up more and Feisty Liz comes out when she's around Ric. JS. Them and the scenes surrounding the gun was hilarious. And no, I don't like Terry tried to prop up Lucky to Liz when Liz was not thinking or studying Lucky today. How I hollered at how Molly shades and slights Kristina every chance she can get. I almost want it to never end. Or I hope for a good moment where Molly slaps her. And AMEN!! to Molly saying what I was thinking...Alexis would not have been in that position (even if it was her choice) if it was not for Kristina. So Alexis is FINALLY free and her law degree is STILL intact. Ooooh happy day. Martin was the MVP for me as he tore into Anna, delayed Dante having to pick a side he claimed he would never pick, and Sonny again got to be smug with Diane. It gave me moments that I liked but it's that wacka wacka writing style that I don't like with these New/Old Writers. Also I'm never here for Anna being made a fool of period. And it felt like her projecting onto Dante. Who is put on a leave of absence as of today meaning this week and next are our doozy weeks. Did I mention how much I love Ric being back? Love those scenes with Curtis and with of course Liz. And a nice cliffhanger for a Monday. A red herring or a potential rewrite? I guess we are about to find out.

Ooooo yes. The way I gasped when Molly dropped that file on the desk. The file I've been mentioning in the PM thread months ago! The plot thread that I was really excited about when PM was in charge outside of the Sins of the Father storyline. I was like Yes, Molly! Tell Anna about herself! Cuz that was ridiculous. On the other hand, I find it interesting that the New/Old Writers keep finding ways to pick at old PM threads. But...I'll take they are at least mentioned versus how they tried to make them abruptly vanish.

That's exactly what I mean. I still remember his first few days at DAYS production wise...and it was VERY apparent. I hope that will be the case when he arrives at Y&R as well. Even now with current budgets, B&B stays looking great, the cast stay dressing superb (just look at any time a character from Y&R has crossed over to B&B and then they cross back to Y&R for example), and sets get regularly used and it makes sense. They even have extras like all those interns running around right now. I imagine even with Y&R's lower budget that Scott will still make it look expensive. I mentioned that above. I remember that as well. I just don't remember if the AS part of it was ever proven. But that, his past at Y&R, and the aforementioned fact the article was on Deadline, is why I'm cautious optimistic that while Scott is coming on as a Senior Producer, he might manage to have more influence than what the current regime might not be ready for. But we will see.

10-11 Oh, lord have mercy! I can't! The amount of propping that was going on for Sonny. I can almost take slighted writing over writing where characters sit/stand/dance and go on and on and on over a character who is usually not all that and a bag of chips. So all this Sonny talk...at this point I could almost throw something at my tv. The only good thing I can say about Sonny right now...is that he looked good in that red shirt. JS. And given my feelings over Sonny/Dante and Dante's internal feelings, you know I was seeing red over his 'dilemma.' Good to see that with the fate of Lulu and Sam slowly, but surely approaching that I'll be seeing more of DZ on my screen and Dante in the mix. The conflict just did not feel the same as it usually did. Definitely a little more plot, a little less character regardless of the fact that Dante was confiding in his BFF Cody. But it could be because it was giving that 'wacka wacka' humor the New/Old Writers like to pop into moments that just don't need it. That said, I didn't mind Dante being the Friday cliffhanger though I hope given the amount of separation of Dante as cop/Dante as Sonny's son drama we have gotten this year that it will not destroy that growing conflict. You know what? I totally forgot that Lucas is Julian's son so I was wondering why he was running into Ava outside of the actors being on ATWT. A case of the recast. But I liked those scenes overall. Another way to get a softer side of Ava. Uh oh! Not Brad realizing what Portia did. Portia who has been all up in his face. Now that WAS juicy. Liz stay being love.

Well I for one am pretty sure that just like at DAYS when he arrives, his influence will be very apparent when he arrives on screen at Y&R.

Plot, plot, plot. But let's see if this is THE week for Sam.

Yeah it was making me slightly heated. But I have said that I've been looking forward to seeing GF and JJ together again since it was announced. And I have been and will continue to look forward to each of Laura's kids coming home one by one. But I guess my expectations were so high that it just annoyed me that even knowing FV knew how much anticipation was out for this reunion that he could not lower his 'tics Yeah, the propping is complete overkill at this point. And pathetic since the mother of one of his daughters is in jail for him.

Well about that...lol. We have PRODUCTION to thank for that because... Candiace and Roommate might be gone, but Production is STILL on that.

I miss the gifs.

10-10 Aha! I was right! Martin WAS behind the P. I. And double ha! about the gun! This was just a mess though. This episode was definitely a case of FV's love of those quick cuts between scenes took away from the episode. Laura and Lucky's long overdue reunion, and it kept being interrupted needlessly. If you want to do a build over an episode to a cliffhanger, primetime quick-cuts ain't it. It would be nice if he got that someday. There was a feeling of movement though. Martin doing his job to get Alexis off, Sonny be damned. Diane going to Jason, Sonny be damned. Seems like someone remembered...just like the Sonny case under PM...about Jason's issues with his kids upon his return under PM with the Diane line. And now the twilight over Lulu's storyline...which I take it to mean next week is going to be a doozy or we will be seeing Lulu's face. I enjoyed every minute of seeing Laura with Lucky. The Triple L flashback. The fact that she found out where Lucky was (from Liz), but had no idea about him not being a donor. And then Lucky had to walk her through it. Then Laura had to walk him through his feelings of being a failure. And finally (though HIS KIDS should have been a reason) giving him a solid reason to stay in PC...to be there for his MOTHER. It was a nice dance that GF and JJ did with each other, but one I enjoyed. That said...Michael (still in those oooh so tight jeans) did WHAT??? Granted, Kristina is such a loose cannon now that she needs to be tracked, I didn't like he has a tracker on her. I also did not like that Anna was soo willing to let her potential lead just walk out the door because Anna now has to be a Sonny apologist. So the cliffhanger with the appearance of the gun is a hmmm. I don't know what Sonny was thinking, thinking Carly was going to fled the country though. SMH. No matter how these New/Old Writers try to make him out to be a hero, it's the fact he shot a man that has them in trouble in the first place. Let him do the RIGHT thing and confess to get the OTHER mother of one of his kids off. Seriously. Same. Just ugh. It's quite annoying.
