Well, that takes Guza out of the running for the mystery new writer at GH. Or does it? Hmmm

I liked it, but it does seem too hyped to me.

7-26 I thought that was a good week. If anything (and unlike Y&R), it looked FUN. Or at least people were having fun. Right down to the writers because Steffy's comment about the bed from original Brooke's Bedroom having miles on it? Ooooooooooooo SHADE!!!! I like the angle for the reason Brooke would do it. She STILL looks great for her age. And that truly can be inspiring. Meanwhile, HT came to play in those Katie vs Poppy scenes. And I was here for it. And it was the cliffhanger, too. lol. And Katie being Katie aka nosy, of course, it didn't take her long at all to find a connection between Poppy and Tom. Uh oh. Oh, and STFU with that look, Hope. And by look, I mean when Finn was kissing his WIFE...I know...you wish you had someone so faithful...but alas.

I mean that comparison was gold. If the shows were to be axed and there was any left standing...that would be apt. OC has always managed to go from strength to strength while BH is the show that the network is always behind even when it was not the highest ratings HW show.

Yep. Pretty much.

Sun, Tues, Wed....a time!!!!!!!!!!

That's because outside of the occasional scene with Lily, he IS. I hate this Adam/Chelesa 'twist,' but I look forward to his head exploding when he finds out. It's what he deserves.

Same. But Antoyne explained so I'm good. VERY. I believe. Also same.

Oh how I hollered. In terms of RHOA, I would say to give Nene the payback so heaven forbid they mend bridges, there's nothing for her to come back to. And RHOA has definitely been treated poorly since Nene tried her lawsuit on Bravo. NJ is just a case of when you refuse to let your favorites (and not even audience favorites) go. And they are paying for it now to the point they can't even film a reunion properly. And then given that post Teresa posted...it goes back to that theory we said years ago about how Bravo been trying to get rid of their highest paying HWs from the flagshow HW shows to make room for younger...Frons's ABC. hehe. And currently that would be Teresa and Kyle, wouldn't it? I don't know, either what Bravo has planned. It's not the first time they have tried to overshadow the HWs though. But since the BELOW DECK franchise is also not what it used to, Bravo can't go back to that route again. I wanta play. lol. NJ Back on the season post-reunion where Jen did the awesome 3 for 1 on Couch Left. But I have no desire to catch up from from reading here and what becomes of Jen. ATL I honestly want to see if they can pull a BH Season 9 because it's the makings of that season. A fan favorite's dramatic exit. Some side stories. And a return of a vet to cook up some drama. I was hoping that Kenya was at least filming separately a la LVP. But it doesn't seem like it. Unlike Production is going to squeeze in scenes. And of course...will Kenya BE at the reunion? I am at least intrigued. And behind lol. BH Outside of clips...no desire to catch up. Unless Kyle gets the takedown she richly deserves. POTOMAC Agree with the rest of you. Definitely a make-or-break season for them. Have yet to watch the reunion. And not sure how to pivot from Candiace's leaving, but sending off the Roommate to force Gizelle to work was a good start. SLC Had their best season ever but haters had to hate so Monica is gone. Happy if it is true that Mary is FT, but I'm not sure if I will watch or tap out like I did for Season 3. DUBAI Having a good season, but you wouldn't know it given how Bravo treats it. A BETTER time slot would be a GREAT start. MIAMI. THE crown jewel now (sorry, BH), but you wouldn't know it given how Bravo treats it. NuNY While I liked it...it is worrying that we have heard NOTHING from those ladies. Not even about the alleged new castmate. I mean...isn't Eric Fuller known for leaking storylines? OC. 2nd only to RHOM at this point. And I'm so behind. But with nothing reality tv show wise to watch or shows now that I'm thinking about, I'm looking forward to seeing the Tamra return season. But I've always liked OC from the moment I started to watch regularly. If Bravo don't even try...these shows are as good as dead.

I mean the album AS A WHOLE. I found it pretty cohesive. And given that she made it at a time where she was at a retreat and questioning her life...like the crossroad she was at when ROL emerged...I feel it. Cuz at the time of its release...no one was doing what she was doing music-wise. So I don't find the album trendchasing at all. Now the singles...well...yeah. lol. Well the lead single...nothing new with Madonna though from a market point of view. I thought about adding REBEL HEART as well, but felt that was more trend setting than MADAME X. Just cuz of BIM. I agree with the ballads. GHOSTTOWN was my song and the fact she made a video...LOVE.

I agree with @NothinButAttitude. There is 4 or 5 episodes left now so Bravo is probably stretching it out. And lest we forget they have not filmed the reunion yet. So I expect that this week or next.

@janea4old thank you for the tag. So...a happy ending I can live with.

Same. Especially since Michael claiming the Q name was decades in the making. And also could have driven story for still more.

Duh! Yeah, I totally forgot about that. lol. So he's been mad for 3 months more or less. A record. Given how easily those two forgive and forget.

Payback for her not giving nothing that last season methinks. And was expected.

Yeah, that was a little jarring, but okay because we don't see Charlotte much. Now Michael and Sonny not getting along. I still trying to remember when they stopped again. Was it before BLQ/Chase's wedding?

Same, my friend. I really did. And I felt SC could rise to the occasion like ED did with the silly beginning to her own crazy tale. But...I felt like the building blocks for Ash were at least well-done from a writing perspective even if I found it silly. This...just makes no sense to me. It's like I missed scenes or wasn't paying attention. Because I would think if this is because Sharon's meds are off that she would have already gone and gotten them changed by now. And now everyone is picking up on it, but still...nothing. And now we got our first REAL bizarre moment with the Nick daydream...and even that doesn't make sense. Basically it doesn't make sense. And it looks like SC feels the same, making it worse.

7-22 Wagger ain't &*#$. Jason finally gets time with one of his sons, and Wagger wants to pull that crap on him? The only good I saw in this episode was that we FINALLY...just like Valentin being revealed as the head of Pikeman...have a clear direction for Wagger. We had plenty of good guys in Dante, Chase, and now Dex...so it was nice to see Wagger is going to let his hatred for Sonny get him to do things like blackmailing Jason and Carly to make Sonny pay. Not that Sonny ain't paying. Other than me forgetting why Sonny is hating on Michael at the moment AGAIN, I liked the circling of the wagons that the forthcoming Avery custody battle brought to this episode. Is it wrong that I'm Team Scotty/Ava though? Because I enjoyed the heck out of their scenes. We know how I feel about Maura West as a villainess, but Kin Shriner is such a perfect match for her in the scheme department. And the touch on Ava's nose as she revealed (finally) that someone tampered with Sonny's meds, guaranteeing Scotty can push him over the edge. Which Scotty won't mind doing given how he feels about Sonny per Karen. Really ironic with Wagger around, too. Bonus. I felt FH was playing Anna's guilt a little (pun unintended) on the nose in her scenes with Laura. Because I feel Anna as a character would show no guilt in front of Laura until Laura left the room. Meanwhile, GF did so good with those scenes, and the realization that NONE of her kids were in town. Foreshadowing? Or a reason for her to cling to Heather? But GF drew me completely in and I felt that. I also had forgotten that Charlotte is also Lulu's child. So I guess the next big event will be the custody battle. Which ties in the story of Sonny's meds. So...PM's stories ending/turning one by one...

Oooooooooooo

7-24 Okay. I see what you all were mentioning. I guess HT did look kinda phoned in during the first part of this episode where she was still confronting Poppy. But I felt she bounced back a little during her talk with Li. Though I can only imagine that HT was enjoying Katie in a new relationship and now here she is messing with Bill. Speaking of which...awwww at getting a Bill/Li scene. FINALLY!!!! I really wish they had gone in that direction with them. Just this scene alone. Li getting emotional at being called a Spencer and respecting Bill's strong protective love of his family...so much like how Li feels about Finn (and Jack once upon a time). And it's just how they do let their guard down with each other, too...their talk about secrets. Just well done. Heck...they could have had them getting closer back then...and then Bill encountering Poppy with no idea that she was Li's sister. Le sigh. I did giggle at Poppy talking to herself when Luna came home. So DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I thought that was a cute Brooke/Hope scene when Brooke announced Brooke's Bedroom was back. But yeah...Steffy's head is going to explode.

@AbcNbc247 thanks for letting me know. Let me see if I can see those scenes online then. After years of will-they/won't-they and times they were about to with one or the other actor leaving, I would like to see those scenes.

As I was watching recap, I was wondering if they were doing that so thank you for mentioning that. So just to be clear...they have finally gotten to the part of their filming schedule where AZ exits and Nicole is leaving with ERIC? They gave her the happy ending. Is GV gone gone? Because my Ericole heart would not at all mind that.

7-23 That was boring as Hades. Well...except for the last 5 minutes. What did you just say, Victor??? You want Nikki to head what? Jill's head will completely explode. But if that makes Jill come back in the flesh AND on the warpath, I am here for it. Outside of that, I admit that I liked Billy and Lily's little scene at the beginning. So Lily's a Swiftie? Outside of that, it just seems like they are heading back to Billy/Lily which they shouldn't have broken up in the first place. Or worse...given JG's love of Chelesa...a triangle. Oh, now I know Sharon has lost her mind if all she's doing is daydreaming about pouncing on Nick at home. I understand, Girl, but Seriously...why is she THIS off?

Le sigh. I'm sure I will have some giggle moments, but I don't really care. How not unexpected now that Kandi is no longer on there. When this return does not bring anything, I WILL be online with those idiots who been saying it online for years that she will save the show and dragging them for sport though. And I agree. Is not the point of Kenya leaving the fact that she's a liability. Well, so is Shady Phae Phae. A PROVEN one at that...as someone said online. So...Bravo...what you planning?

Well, it gives Robert and Diane something to do at least. And I'm happy to see her. And yes, count me in the group that always see that heading and immediately think Vanessa Marcil. Same. I can't wait for the reveal on who it really in charge.
