Yeah, I saw the weird structure list of writers as I've been playing catch-up and wondered what shuffling is going on. So is JG getting a new co-writer?

And he was in a great position to used on the canvas thanks to Nik's hush money. And goodness knows SB knew how to fit out a suit. I was looking forward to him pushing his weight around. Alas Agree.

11-19 Oh, dear. Outside of the Will/Electra young love scenes, I wasn't feeling any of that at all. So we are really going to character assassinate Carter's character. It's just too hard to swallow for me. Though I love seeing more of LSV. And sadly, he's not wrong about Steffy. But it is a family company so who is going to listen to him. Ugh.

But Brenda's hair was more stylish. One of my favorite scenes. And it was when I truly bought TB as Carly. Perfection. And true.

11-20 So far, the highlight of this week has been MG. Daniel has been ON FIRE!!! Lighting into Sharon like a X-mas tree!!! Getting aggressive with Nick. The fury. Like mother, like son. I love it!!! I do love how this all is slooowly coming out about Sharon to others. And like Nick, I want to shake her, too. But that said...I can't help, but feel that this is sooo typical 80s heroine. No benefit of the doubt and being selfless. And my ears perked up when Ward mentioned Sharon's KIDS. So is Mariah about to be roped into more of the story? Yeah, I could care less about Billy outside of Jill. Has she left town? So I was over any scenes of him with Sally, Chelesa, and/or Adam. See, Diane? I told you you should have signed the papers and been sure there were no loopholes in the contract before firing Kyle. What ace does Victor have up his sleeves now? And just to be shady...I know we didn't just bring Elena back to be Giggly Heffa's nursemaid? Cuz... Nope. Can't have that. Billy is the STAR. RME.

Outside of it providing story for Lucy...and the fact that Lucy and Lois work at Deception and don't like each other...I don't see it. But it would be nice to have more Lois on the canvas. I don't know who she could be with that would fit.

Well now looking at the main article if it isn't going to be Robert Adamson, then it's a good idea to rest Michael...have him go aboard to the international ELQ branch like they have characters do on B&B and Y&R when they write out their major characters. And then after awhile, bring him back with an actor of your preference. Heck, given this is coming out now...it makes me wonder if all this mess with him, Sasha, Willow, Drew...is because CD is leaving by end of year at the earliest or this coming January ahead of February Sweeps. Ha!!!

BH Now...that I got time...meh. lol. I hate to say it but when it came to the taglines, I think my favorites were Kyle, Garcelle, Dorit, and...shocking...Erika. It was in how she said it more than the tagline itself. Looks good though. And how funny that all the other shows remixed their theme with the new visuals. Meanwhile...BH did not. RHOP YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! That mid-season looks great. And to think I was just talking about how the seasons were approaching mid-season for this to drop. lol. And wow at how those tables turned. If it is to be believed...everyone will be coming for Mia and her representative and I'm here for it. RHOA I got what they were going for there, but NO. The Confessionals were on point. And I will always be here for 4th Wall breaking. Just get to the Kenya mess. It really was. I won't be surprised if I rewatch at all. lol. Mmmmm tempting. OMG YES!!! They really were. I wouldn't mind them back. Especially given how much SM has bought up. You know some HW would be messy and bring it into their blog.

Very. But heaven forbid this show focus on Liz or pairings that work. Lol. IKR. AB played that sooooo well though. Which reminds me...I love that after such a looooooooong time we are getting a Webber/Spencer resurgence. Regardless of the uneven writing, I do love that I got my wish this year and Laura's kids are back in town.

LOL!!!! The shade...

11-20 And at looooooooooong last, LULU!!!! Well, this has been a long time coming for me. And honestly, I really can't get over how much AB favors JMB. It's uncanny. And seeing her outside of a 2 second ending coda? Her vibe is definitely like hers. I see that Spencer fire. I feel that grit. And I saw that people were complaining about the fact that she was in a coma for four years and shouldn't really be able to move. Well, it is a soap. That said...at least the writers played that beat. And it was a good show for showing that Lulu has that Spencer determination. So worth the wait and loving it so far. But as was mentioned a few days ago, fingers crossed this is not going to be like Lucky's return where it takes weeks for Lulu to encounter anyone we would rather see her with. Loved the Jason/Danny scene. And there was a moment when AA had that look that was hilariously real in the 'don't kid a kidder' vein. Well...at least he's improving. I still cite face structure. Well, good to know that Lucas knows that it was not his fault that Sam died. And that said...so...someone did murder Sam. Oooooh dear...guess we are getting 2 murder mysteries for the price of one, huh? But it appeared to be a story involving Elizabeth so I'll take it. I could care less about Kristina so I zoned out on her scenes with Dante. Though I continue to feel for Dante. And Alexis found Sam's will and the kids were left to Drew. Well...I guess the fight for the blended family begins.

The gasp I just let out. ROBERT ADAMSON, COME ON DOWN!!!

SLC Oh, lord. LOL!!! That episode. I've said it all over the place. When they started the episode showing Mary set up her dinner, I knew it was going to be something special cuz...MARY. And when they started to show the party, and I realized that it was ONLY fifteen minutes into the episode...we were going to be in for some mess. But THAT...? Daaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyummmmmmmm!!! Like @Cheap21...the dinner party from hell for SLC indeed. So much went down. Heather vs Bob. Angie K vs FriendofHeather. FriendofHeather coming for everyone...and everyone coming for her!!! Bob gathering Lisa. Angie K vs Meredith. Meredith vs Mary. So much with down at the dinner that Production (allegedly) edited out the Mary vs Lisa fight that would have taken us through this second half of the season. In fact...Mary kicked Lisa out, too. I guess we will know for sure how much of that is true next week if we start up at the dinner party. Outside of the main event...I felt this was still a great episode. Angie K's scene with her father brought so much focus to who she is. And it makes sense now why she is the way she is with her daughter AND how she was irked by what Lisa said. We got a little more about Bob and her hubby's relationship. We got Lisa continuing to NOT be a good friend, spilling all to Heather. And we got Heather being all bravado and catty...only to be gagged by Bob. Nice try, 'Good Time Girl.' But that event...WOOOOOOOOOOOOW. LISA. First of all, they have had hidden speakeasys on this show since Season 1 when Whitney did a cool one. Second of all, she sure did run to Heather reeeeal quick to tattle on Bob. Yeah, she ain't her friend. And I cannot believe she would give up her long friendship for....Heather. Even the moments where she tried to pipe up for Bob with Heather at the dinner came across very performative. Just throw her away. I just know that Bob is going to roast her at some point. And it will be all her fault. HEATHER. BITCH. The bloom has completely come off the rose, hasn't it? I mean seriously...is Production just finally getting their lick back for all of Heather's lies on them? Because she has not been shown in a good light at all this year. And here she was spitting at Lisa how she was going to show Bob who was in charge. And then she came into Mary's dinner party all ready to be catty and start mess. A wordsmith she ain't. When Bob said 'cuz it's my GD credit card...' She was gagged. And no matter how much she tried to deflect, Bob met her everywhere she turned with no choice but to backpedal and apologize to Bob. As Nene Leakes would say...you're weak, hunni. Oh...and poor. WHITNEY. Okay, I'll use her name this time. lol. She was a trip from start to finish for me. And I have to give credit where it's due she had me rolling. I saw her give Angie K that alley oops she needed to check FriendofHeather...and the tea of 3 men...LORRRRDDD!!! lol. And then her with the wig in her Confessional picking on Meredith, I fell out. And then her and Meredith getting physical over Meredith's phone. Is it Season 5 of POTOMAC again? Whit put in the work. ANGIE K. I have always liked Angie K. My only issue has been it has always been one step forward, two steps back. For every moment, she has a good moment, she then fell back in line. And she is one of the few in the cast now that has always activated Meredith (who is the BEST Meredith). But her talk with her father was such an authentic moment and really explained EVERYTHING about her. Her relationship with her mother explains why she has been such a pick me, her own relationship with her daughter, and why it hurt her to the core when Lisa made that comment about her daughter. Very well done, Angie K. But her moments at the dinner party were good. Her vs FriendofHeather was great. And of course, there she goes again backsliding with Meredith. She was giving fierce with that. BOB. And Bob gave the other favorite authentic moment. I guess her hubby had no idea what show she was going to be filmed for. And he doesn't seem to like it. Or he cares about how the whole world would see them...a real thought to have when you have a business, and you are on reality tv. So I liked that. And 'Cuz it was my GD credit card' was THE moment. Freshman year like Monica and giving moments. I don't know why Heather thought she could even take her when Heather is not at all a wordsmith. She checked Heather oh so good. In fact, she was literally exposing Heather at the dinner party for how she moves. I am just sad that (outside of Mary who don't care and Whitney with the nod), no one noticed because Heather did the backpedal reeeeal quick. And at the same time, you could see her observing Lisa to see if she would help her like a real friend. And it's clear she still don't like FriendofHeather. She has so many ways to go. MEREDITH. Smh. Well, Meredith has always been at her best when she's on the defensive. Unfortunately, it was all wrong here. First with her and Angie K...all Meredith had to do was not take it to Hades and let Angie K run out of air. Not helped by her showing her slip in the first place where everyone called her out on it. Meredith DOES like to say out-of-pocket things and then threaten someone when they call her out of it aka when Meredith is on the OFFENSIVE. She should have disengaged. And secondly with Mary. I've been wanting to see why they fell out and it's sad that they fall out because Meredith was so busy arguing with Angie K that she missed what Mary said. Specifically the 'if you are going to argue, then...' part of 'get out of my house.' Worse...she wouldn't allow Mary to explain. So Team Mary. MARY. Production should always do a Mary event. They are always crazy. Cuz...smh. And...NOT FRIENDOFHEATHER'S MAN DMING MARY!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF...!!! lol. I fell out. And Mary looked so great. And I loved her shade at people who could not dress to theme. And for all the shadiness, she does real things like inviting FriendofHeather and talking to her on AND off screen while the other ladies did not talk to her at all. Even her good friend Heather. *side-eye* One can call Mary many things, but she will always keep it real. It was why I was sad to see the fallout between her and Meredith which appear to continue next week since a clip has been released and both are currently not talking in real time. And did I mention FriendofHeather coming for the cast only for the cast to wind up coming for her? Great episode.

RHOP Awwww

I believe that. Almost makes me wonder what if she had come to PC as Livvie. I of course agree. Her best moments was as a vixen and Jasam. I was a bit surprised at how much of Sam/Sonny they showed, but overall loved it. + 1

Now that I've seen it for myself. Same. Assuming Kristina doesn't snap and try to shoot Ava when she wins of course. I know I giggled at the wheel flashback myself. Early Dante and Sam, KM definitely had some spark. But I agree with all the flashbacks.

It really did. I remember them dropping the trailer. And outside of an ad here and there, it's been unusually crickets. Goodness knows S7 Dorit appears to be getting traction and I do like the clips I've seen so far (Kyle trying to spin the narrative and Dorit not having it, Dorit/Boz, the conclusion to end of episode fight already released). Add on the opinions here that I trust and I might just break down and watch. I agree. I miss the days of the Housewives blogs.

SLC All I have to say for now is that when you are getting to the group event 15 minutes in...with 45 minutes to go...you are about to get some mess!!! WoooooooooWWWWWWWW!! Too many moments for me to pick from. Little Girl with the alley oops. FriendofHeather coming for the cast...only to be packed up RHOA S6 a la Natalie at the winery style. 'Cuz it's my GD credit card.' 'This is Aubery Hepburn, Not the Flintstones.' I agree @Cheap21! That was their Dinner Party from Hell. Mary must do one every year now.

Honestly...given what I'm used to from BH promoting...it was light this year if not out and out bare. If I know about it at all, it's because the fanbase is definitely there. I mean...they even have the AFTERSHOWS already up and running. Isn't that a midseason thing for the HW shows? I do know compared to last season, they did lose a third. Last season's premiere did 1M. So it slid, but not by very much.

That's what I was saying earlier. But thankfully, Bravo has the SOUTHERN CHARM franchise and BELOW DECK franchise to hold some people over. And new shows. And I see they are bringing in other shows like QUEEN'S COURT and tonight it was EAT SLAY LOVE (hey, Eva the Diva!). Meanwhile since I don't watch most of that...I can continue my catch-up of OC. lol.

BH I don't get the series low given it's the highest of all the current shows, but...

11-19 Oh my God. That... I'm not going to lie. It got me in my feels. And to see so much of the town at her funeral...I was surprised. There would be moments that I pick someone new out from the crowd. And I would be like oh. That was a well-done funeral. The finality of it all. From the monologues to the flashbacks...btw YAAAAYYY flashbacks...just to the general feel throughout the episode. I admit I was surprised to see the Slap Heard Around the Word, but yet that did summarize Carly and Sam's relationship. Highlights for me speech wise was Spin's, Liz's (I had to rewind it was so good, tears be damned), Dante's, Rocco's, and of course Alexis's. They were all good, but these really resonated with me. Spin's flashback...and look at him and Maxie now. Liz's...because as much as I loved Liz and Sam as rivals...their friendship really did grow organically...moreso than Carly's. Mad respect for that. Dante's because DZ who sells the sadness and summarized his and Sam's relationship so beautifully and his parting words...DZ sold the love. Rocco's...FC sold it. Alexis's...I felt all of that from the start of it, to Sam as an anchor, to Sam being an adrenaline junkie cuz soooo true and giggled, and to the end of it. NLG gave yet another masterclass. I was glad that Jason got a moment. And I felt Danny did okay as well. Though I might take back what I said about the actor playing Danny. Is he green...yes? But I really think the smile issue is a face structure issue, and that can't be helped. I think he will grow out of it. If I was annoyed at anything, it was I could get a better tell on it if the camera had not cut right when he emoted enough to release this perfect sad sigh as Danny got choked up and looked upward. I have mixed feelings about the Lucas/Ava scenes. Not because it did not have substance to it. It was nice to see that, and it was a mostly nice counterbalance to the funeral. It just felt too like 'let's get a ATWT actors together' for me. I guess it's because when I think about when Lucas was part of the canvas, I felt he had more scenes with Julian than Ava so I don't feel it yet. That montage of Sam...the finality of it all. It was also well done, and I liked it went all the way to her beginnings to even getting a KV Molly scene in there. And long last...LULU!!!

I have no doubt.

And I've been heavily unspoiled so you know I'm living for that picture. I feel Angie has had a great season. Messy for sure, but she has been on the nail with a lot of her observations. I just wish she would say more of it outside of her confessionals. She has not been wrong. Or she gets easily distracted in scene. She really should just be herself.
