YES, DADDY!!!

A boat (Vanna) that has sailed.

Very much so. And as proven with him with Quinn, Carter can be a leading man and LSV can play it. But this? I agree. So many missing beats. The most glaring being he and Katie did not even break up on screen. If anything, they should have focused on Bill/Katie/Carter. Perhaps Carter seeing post-Luna, Katie's pull to Bill was just too strong and they have an amiable break up. Meanwhile, Hope is still adrift due to Thomas. A few talks like what Hope and Carter had a few months ago over being losers in love and a spark starts. Yep. There should always be an underdog fashion house on this show.

12-3 Not as good as the spoil of riches that was Monday's episode, but I liked it outside of the unnecessary Sonny/Natalia scenes. I felt the Lucky/Lulu reunion scenes were giving. I do agree with the minority that the brother/sister connection isn't quite there yet. But there was chemistry. They just need to find their banter (which I felt they were on the verge of getting there) and I feel they will. Other than the abruptness after Lulu found out about Luke where they were sitting down and drinking...cuz it went from high drama to low key too quick...I was completely absorbed into their scenes. So much so that when Luke's name came up, it hit me how much Lulu doesn't know. So yes, I did go '[!@#$%^&*], [!@#$%^&*], [!@#$%^&*]' cuz it hit me...Luke is dead. Bobbie is dead. She doesn't know about Val and Charlotte yet. And I love that they took their time before she found out about Sam. Again...PLAYING...THE...BEATS. Girl is going to be overwhelm easy. Speaking of girls...GET HIM, LAURA!!! If I can't get the more organic Laura vs Sonny, I'll take those scenes yesterday. I was just saying on Monday how I don't see Laura not using all her forces AND the kitchen sink to find Lulu...and her first piece of dialogue was EXACTLY that. Well-done. And then to see Cyrus in handcuffs and Laura calling him out. Perfection. Let that mama bear out, Laura!!! She (like Maxie) was looking fierce in that red. Meanwhile, I loved Anna as her henchwoman. ANNNND a restraining order, too for what he did? Please let it stick so Laura can have a storyline!!! Hm. Frank Valentini can't get Valentin and Charlotte back quick enough RME. I take it they will be the NEXT adventure going forward. Cuz I completely went 'ugh' at Anna calling Jason as if she couldn't find them herself. Love the Jason/Carly/Danny. And yes, the Danny actor was more hits than misses in his scenes. And darn it if he did not try. I take it he has heard the criticism and is stepping up to them though I still feel it's his face structure. But I will take an actor trying over an actor just phoning it in any day. And yep. Carly was just there. And SB continue to sell it. Surprisingly, I liked that they were playing the beat between Molly and Ric, but I was not feeling it at the same time. And I giggled at the 2012 journal Molly was reading. It turns out...yes...back in 2012 that was exactly what Molly thought when she first met TJ. How cute. Heheh. Oh, Maxie. Loved her with Dante. And I loved she was trying her best not to make a B-line for her BFF. I can't wait for her to see Lulu. And Lulu to become good friends with James, too. Did I mention how much I'm not here for Sonny and Natalia? lol. Completely zone out during their scenes. Better out of town than dead. That's for sure. Hehe. The thing that really drew me to ATWT. And the fox that was Holden. Now you hush and go find that swimsuit scene from Monday. 😜

Thank you. So much this. He tried for the ugly cry so I can't hate on that. And he should have more POV. It's part of the reason that I've been enjoying the rift between him and Molly because he's finally allowed to have one. The problem has been sadly that it is not shown enough. But it IS there. Exactly! That was why I went s8it, s8it, s8it watching the Lulu/Lucky scenes yesterday. It dawned on me how many people she knew have died. She has a loooooooooooooooot to catch up on. Mmmmmm CarJack....

At least they mention it in dialogue though so I can't hate on B&B for that.

Whhhhhattt???

Very true. I love that they are teasing out what she does not know. So much happened in four years.

It's not just you. I believe a few people were wondering about that as soon as Carter got a focus because of how things happened with Maya.

Joshua Morrow with the highest count???? lol. And I enjoyed every minute of EB's many appearances this month. Happy to see Jess with 5 versus her more traditional 2. Le sigh.

Yeah, that's how I'm feeling as well. Hopefully, this new week will give something. Beside Jordan's latest costume du jour.

I can see that. Hahahahaha. THIS. OMG yes. Same. Also same. I mean...I see them and just think 'hoe why you here?'

So kinda like what happened with Ava earlier this year with her and Sonny growing closer but with a different outcome?

Same.

RHOP I thought it was another low key episode. What stood out about it for me was that EVERYBODY had a little something going on. Nothing major, but like I mentioned before, I love that all the housewives have their little stories going on and they are continuing across episodes versus just fading in and out or vanishing all together. HW shows after all are about these ladies and their lives, and if they are not going to show their lives, then why are they here? And then...there's the incoming Gizelle vs Mia feud that I am sure is about to start. This has been the most that Gizelle has appeared transparent since the first couple of seasons methinks and she's coming across sooooooo well this year. Meanwhile, Messy Mia is slowly, but surely crossing a line. I feel like they are evenly matched so I can't wait to see where it goes. Cuz Gizelle let her know at the end of the episode...she might not be reacting right now, but she WILL be reacting. Trust that. LA DAME. One thing I love about HW shows is when we see the HW's kids. Moreso when we watched them grow up on the show. So it was great to see Ravyn again. And La Dame went to support Ashley. And her advice once Ashley (actually) gave some tea on how things are going with Michael and her divorce was wise. There IS so much out there on Michael Darby that if the sticking point IS Ashley or the cast talking about him when there's so much on him out there in the public eye...well...HOW MUCH will it take to be quiet? Smart dame. I also loved her and Gizelle rallying around Stacey in regards to her about-to-be-ex-husband. And don't think I didn't notice her giving Mia grace when the other ladies were coming for her. ASHLEY. Oooooh what angle is she working now? Cuz I was not expecting her to even be anything close to factual about her meeting with Michael. So much so she broke the 4th Wall AND spilled that Michael want no mentions of him ever again on the show. As if Ashley can control what the others say? I hope she takes La Dame's advice and use that fact to stick it to Michael cuz her HW train ain't going to last the way she's been acting this season. I expect better from someone with the same birthday as moi. WENDY. Someone else who gave Mia grace this episode. Better than me. lol. And she probably won't give her much grace after what Mia said to Gizelle about her parenting. Meanwhile, I liked we got a little step in the plot of mending fences between her family and Eddie's family. STACEY. Stacey continued to dazzle as she talked about her forthcoming divorce issues. It was wild to me to see her talking about it this episode at the same time Ashley was actually being (a little) open about her own. I still think Stacey will have hers done before Ashley, mind you. But her taking in what La Dame and Gizelle said. Her talking about it right down to her not knowing what a bill is. Or that she did not know about bills being in HER name. Just wild. KEIARNA. Interesting that she mentioned that she was in a lawsuit. And that lawsuit...her fight last season with Sesame Street. Hmmm...could that be why she's a housewife this season? Because outside of her feud with Mia, she was showing her life, but I wasn't feeling it this time around. Well outside of her man clearly not wanting her to film...kinda like Bob and her hubby over on SLC. MIA. I'm about to call her a bitca. lol. How dare she curse Jacqueline out when Jacqueline (like the Grande Dame and Wendy and even Jassi) was defending her at the table as Gizelle was coming for her. And then she clowned Jacqueline later on at the clothing store cuz Jacq HAS dressed soooo much better than the clothes that Mia was picking out for her. And if Mia was not doing that, she was again trying to spin that terrible narrative about G...with JACQUELINE'S help. I just did not get her this episode at all. I did get that she knew she was feeling the heat from Gizelle though. But what did she expect? You want that throne, she best be ready to be in the hot seat. And her response...to spill tea on something Gizelle told her off screen...WRONG ROAD, BOO, WRONG ROAD!!! If anyone can carry a grudge, it IS Gizelle. And one thing you don't do...come for the kids. Wrong move. GIZELLE. I was shocked at how much Gizelle was just showing her life this episode. Being with her kids and seeing how college was going. Trying to help Stacey work her way through her divorce. Side-eyeing Mia. Such a redemption season for her. Again...a good episode for tuning in to how EVERYONE is doing.

Hahahahahaha!!!!

Coming into December... On one hand, I did like the sharp focus on Thanksgiving. All the Newmans together. The Abbotts at their table, and to answer the question from the other thread, I want to say it was last year when we saw it last. Ashley was a LOT less catty this year, too. lol. I was happy to see Nate happy though I was more into the friction between Audra and Amy. On the other hand, I did feel momentum was lost this week. I love how now that we have the new ranch that the directors are using every inch of it in scenes or new ways whether it's Nikki looking out the window or Claire and Summer conversing in that little hallway I said that I've liked since they remodel the ranch set or Nick vs Adam in the little table/garden area. They are doing such a great job of using that set. And Victor and Nikki look so happy. Speaking of Victor...hehe...EB continues to be giving so many great moments. And I will always be here for him giving it to Billy...who was not at the Abbotts. I wished I care, but no. Which reminds me...I didn't get to finish it, but I enjoy Nikki vs Billy as well as Jill vs Billy...though I was mad that Jill had already left town and was back in the phone. So a decent week coming into December. Let's see if it flows.

Oh the way I just went s@it, s#it, s$it at Lulu not knowing about Luke. And then I thought...oh Lord...she don't know about Bobbie, either. smh. OMG VERY. It was clear when they filmed on different days...if you catch my drift.

Or dare I say...a shocking twist.

GET HIM, LAURA!!!

Lol. And knowing Brad, you are probably right.

Yeeeeeah so over the propping of Natalia. It's almost as bad as the propping of Sonny given what happened to Wagger.

Coming into December... So Brooke really threw her daughter under the bus?? Wooooow. I can't believe that they gave Carter and Ridge a whole montage. Have they really been close friends that long? Alas...this whole thing with Hope has completely tainted Carter. The stalker storyline continues. At least for me, it's intriguing. And I have no idea what they plan to do with Luna given the corner they have written her into.

Hahahahahaha!!! The struggle is real. I felt that. Same. Well, he is hated. Now CM and those angles...not so much. 😜

Yeah, I too would say the Newman Ranch reveal and the week surrounding the Devon/Abby wedding. This past week it feels VERY slight.
