9-10 'Danny didn't want you. Nick didn't want you.' Oooooooooooo SHADE!!!! lol. Even if it's because she's off her meds, it was great to see Sharon on a rampage. First, Lucy and Daniel. Then sending Heather running for the hill. And now Giggly Heffa. lmao. And Giggly Heffa, of all people, calling anyone crazy. Whatever hoe. And what is making it funny is that Sharon isn't wrong about Lucy, either. Since this Faith/Lucy storyline has started and progressed, it really has been giving SINGLE WHITE FEMALE. So the detour with Cassieque accident was a decent way to end that. But Lucy seems more obsessed with Faith than ever. Perhaps we are going to get that after all. I couldn't care less about Connor's issues since it's more about Chelesa. That said...I loved seeing Mariah and that green suit she had on. Same for what Sally was wearing. Sharon. I even loved Phyllis's outfit.

Yes, I don't know what's going on, but she got my attention. Spill that tea.

9-10 Awww...not we are back to slow episodes. That was a fun week. lol. That said...I actually enjoyed watching the fallout from the Luna/murder storyline. It's good there was a moment where RJ was allowed to process his girlfriend is a killer and that Zende did nothing. Meanwhile, the shifting from that story to a Katie/Bill/Poppy triangle continues. I look forward to see how Bill/Poppy navigate it all. Especially with Will and Katie in the wings. Hope needs to let it go. NuTaylor. Meh.

9-11 I admit I rolled my eyes at the idea of Doctor Foine and Jordan. Doctor definitely sold his side of instant attraction when he laid eyes on Jordan. But this episode with him and Jordan actually talking...yeeeeeah I see a little spark. And I liked their banter. Jordan came alive just a little bit. I don't think I will never not like a Ric/Molly scene. I continue to enjoy his return to the canvas. He just fits in so seamlessly. And now he's going to be Ava's lawyer. Hmm. While I continue to love my Beast with Carly, I am also still ughing at the New/Old Writers wasting the chemistry I saw with Anna and Brennan under PM. I know he's dazzled by Carly, but Brennan was also fascinated with Anna. And those nuances still being intact would make this all so juicy.

Lord...ANOTHER attempt?

RHoDubai My turn!!! lol. And surprisingly...I feel different. But I love you anyway. I definitely thought it was a solid Part 1. The girls came to play. And the Lesa/Brooks alliance...I love both, but let's call a spade a spade...was solid and honestly my favorite part of the reunion. I was sad that it's clear the Lesa/Brooks/Sara trio I loved during the season was clearly over. It even looked like the Brooks/Sara duo was over...there was just such a vibe from Sara of trying to balancing being Everyone's Friend. Made me think of Saba. And while I love the Lesa/Brooks alliance and Lesa is an intelligent woman, Lesa better tread carefully. Brooks is a Chaos agent on the show for a reason. What really irked my soul though was 1) WHO INVITED TERRI DEMARCO TO THE REUNION??? WHAT IN THE WORLD?? Oh...I mean...Taleen. lol. Because she was butting in all over the place. Like the aforementioned gnat from that HW show (or two) that takes place in Cali. So I enjoyed every moment Lesa treated her like Little Girl to her Mary and shaded her. And 2)WHERE IS THE AYAN I USED TO KNOW? Because the girl that was on screen WAS playing victim all over the place rather than being a fierce bitca. She was being such a Pick-Me. *cough*secondseasoncurse*cough* STANBURY. What surprised me was that she got off easy. The only thing that I came away from Part 1 with her was...as expected...she spoke out on the Michael tea that Ayan/Brooks brought up on camera. Other than that, she was just laidback. But again...she had plenty of minions other castmates fighting any battle she would need to. TALEEN. TERRI DEMARCO. I'm sorry, no. She was interjecting, interrupting, being loud and wrong all episode for me. So I loved Lesa and Brooks whacking her over and over again. Cuz Taleen Terri was giving micro-aggressions and I was not here for it. Especially the 'are you going to cry?' exchange. While the season was filmed two years back, there's been too many instances (the discourse around RHOP's latest season comes to mind) why she should not have done that. I will give her this one though...I liked that she apologized to Brooks for her WWHL antic...a sign of the friendship they had. Or have given Brooks's online apology to her for Rafi's sake. BROOKS. Not Production bringing up the online antics!!! lol. Brooks has always been a diva so she did not at all bug me. It was surprising that she was over there telling Taleen Terri to shut up as much as I was. In fact, she might have been exaggerating for the most part, but rollback showed that Brooks would be having nuggets of truth about her. I also thought it was interesting near the end of the episode when Andy was discussing the Brooks/Taleen friendship that there was one point where EVERYONE side-eyed Taleen Terri, NOT Brooks. I also aha at more information on the Rafi/Brooks friendship. I thought it said something that Rafi and Brooks have a longer friendship than she has with Taleen Terri. And with her online apology, I feel that friendship is more in play than her own friendship with Taleen. Things that made me go hmmm. SARA. Outside of her riding the fences between the factions, I didn't mind her much. She was the only one that got to the meat of results of Beyoncegate. LESA. No notes from me. I would call her the MVP along with Brooks for me because their ability to keep whacking Taleen Terri was unmatched. And her and Ayan fighting was very how I expect former BFFs to fight. And it said something to me that the hatred/jealousy vibrated off everyone when she walked onto the stage...even from Stansbury. She knew they were coming for her...and she was READY. From her producing that receipt on Ayan (meaning she was right and backed by Andy) to her calling Ayan out on being a professional victim (and also being VERY clear that she meant Ayan's behavior on the show not a victim in terms of the backlash Ayan received post-Season 1 for telling her story), Lesa handled herself well. If anything she could have gone harder. So far...she has not. So I felt the Ayan/Lesa friendship is still in play. AYAN. Over there on that couch and being obtuse...NO MA'AM. Is victim a trigger word? I am sure it is. But the fact that Lesa explained her words clearly and Ayan still wanted to be willfully obtuse...I just couldn't get with that. And I just continued to be so surprised at how much of a fall from grace I have with her after a great Season 1. I was right there with Brooks. Ayan was doing too much. But...blood in the water. Well onto Part 2 where we see if Ayan truly is about to be unmasked...

Ugh. Let fans have their clips if some of what they want isn't even available. Jesus!!

You're not alone on being mixed on Nate/Audra. It's funny since that was who she wanted to shag when she came to town. And now she got him. lol. I liked that they see each other. But Audra has Sally for those friendship moments...well if they would allow Sally out of Billy's orbit. But I'm open to them. They could be a scheme team themselves. But I also loved Audra like how you mentioned, manipulating all them bois and men. Yeah, I have enjoyed very much seeing more of CF and Chance. But outside of Pandemic Chance, I've enjoyed all the actors who have played Chance. And as a Chancellor, I just feel there should be so much for him to do. IKR. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't JG always writing some form of murder mysteries when he wrote for other soaps or was that just in his partnerships with Michael Malone who definitely leaned in that direction?

THIS. When I heard what he did on their last return, I see why the fans were LIVID cuz WTF. lol. Getting news like this...I think I will try to see about tuning in more often.

Yeah. Just wasted potential. For us to...go back to a probably boring triangle.

Well first of all, thank you for the link to the REAL fall previews. Second of all, I saw it in passing due to a busy work schedule again, but I had no idea that it snowballed. lol. It would be really hilarious if some of those that were labeled fake turn out to be real.

Hahaha!!! Nah! I hope Laura will pop up somehow. And especially by the time Lulu wakes up. All good ideas. Though I admit that I liked how Kristina stealing Sonny's gun is truly turning Sonny kills Wagger into a kind of umbrella story. You have the murder and cover-up itself as its own A story while Kristina being Kristina is snowballing into its own story that funnily enough organically filters out from the baby death fallout which has increased the Molly vs Kristina dynamic and looks like this red herring is going to make that even worse. A solid B (or rotating A) story itself. Agree. I was kinda hopeful that they might write her a story with JJY out with her narrowing in on Cody or a hospital story with Stella, but alas.

9-9 Off to a decent start. Nate and Audra coming out into the open with their relationship and the reactions were good. Of course, Devon would have an issue. Meanwhile, Kyle and Summer SCHEMING TOGETHER to get rid of Audra could be interesting. I don't like Sharon's storyline, but I am always here for Sharon reading people down. Hopefully, this is the next turn in the story, and there will be some movement. The main drama was Billy vs Chance. I loved Chance continuing to stand up for himself, though I felt that Billy had a point. However, so did Chance. And this is where Jill not being around is not helping because I don't feel Jill would fire Lily, either. And even if she did, Jill would want someone there to take care of Billy's bad impulses. And that's what most of what Billy does is. Impulses. On the good side, since I wanted Chance back as a cop, I have no problem with that. Just...WRITE FOR HIM. Are we overdue a murder mystery?

Too easy.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case @MichaelGL.

Awwww

Lol. Just checking. I admit that that crossed my mind. More in a 'wait! Are they going to have time for Laura to find Lucky before GF goes on her vacation?' than 'GF is going on her vacation now?' But again...I was surprised that Laura was going to search for Lucky with Kevin in tow because I honestly thought it was going to be Jason that goes to get him. And look at how it's shaping out. lol. Indeed. A Granny who can kick butt though. But heaven forbid Laura has a story which as mentioned above would have more stakes than the run of the mill 'Jason to the rescue!' It was why I was surprised and excited when Laura said she was going. I guess we can't have nice things, can we?

I thought that painted in an even worse light than he was already being painted honestly. So in his own little kid world, he can't even be there for his own kid. Insufferable.

Hehe. I take it you're watching this year. But woooow...now that is the kind of HW feud I love to see...fun AND petty. And it looks like Little Girl will continue to go to the school for Ashley Darby Confessionals. And DEAD at Mary.

Yeah, I believe they are. Even still fighting with Eneiem if I'm not mistaken.

At long last...which she should have become after the Battle of the Receipts. And best of all...NO CHA CHA IN SIGHT. Yeah, I watched the trailer and was at work thinking...ooooh they putting your girl to work. So...it looks like we will have plenty of HW shows in rotation soon. NY, SLC, and POTOMAC with a side of OC. Not to mention Married 2 Medicine which should be the next trailer dropping. ETA: Awwww Nicole...

I didn't say you were a Liz hater. Unlike some of the writers. So it's great to see Liz on every day and so many love interests running around, too.

Sadly...accurate. lol.

You all know how much I hoped for this moment...so seeing it at last...well, I need a moment. Jacqueline got that FOH pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IKR!!! I remember when Laura told Tracy she was going with Kevin. And on one hand, I said that I liked that it was a LAURA story, but on the other hand, I was surprised that Jason didn't go. So lol. Not surprised at all. Liz fans of course.
