My bad. I meant Rebecca Herbst.

I knew it was coming that he was going to be recast. And recasted with Josh Morrow's son. Oh...take me back to the days of Heather Tom and her crew (pun intended). hehe. Mystery arc? Oh...? Well...more of Li works for me.

Oh, how the world turns. Earlier I posted online about crushes...only for my friend to message me not realizing I posted about something similar she posted...and now your post after that. The Universe be giving. Hehe. For it a bit silly for me but short version...I feel like I'm turned into a Miranda who USED to be a Samantha and going forward I'm not sure (yet) which one would work for me given how I've changed. Goodness knows one was more open to life than the other lol. But I said online I'm happy to see that I do have crushes (okay some tea, a simply stable tatt bartender who also is in several bands, a chef, and lover of all animals; the local UPS guy, a local postman who I actively started flirting my bday week, and a pool player with a bubble butt) because that means that there are still guys in the world who can attract and hold my attention just by being. And for me, given the last year of my life, it also gives me hope there's someone out there for me that IS NOT toxic. So seeing your post about not giving up on love (while working out with BEING HUMAN US SEASON 3 in the background...which in some ways is the basic plot just with vampires, werewolves, and ghosts) warms my heart. Thank you. Sorry for my tangent. Yeah seeing Sara being matchmaker with really does a good job with making her relatable because everyone across the world have had that happen at some point. Yeah, Sara definitely has established (and Ayan and Brooks posted at her about last season) an image that she's careful with. But I was thinking of her image from the point of view of her as this guru. I totally did not think about her angle of image as an Emirate. Duh! Silly me...makes it all make even more sense. Fingers crossed that Sophie cameos again this year. Juliet...not so much. hehe. Hahahaha!!!! Going forward...I can't unsee that when I see her now.

That sounds right when it comes to Ryan Murphy though. Young and hot and this one can act so...

Oh, I totally understand, too. Ironically, I'm finding myself in a similar situation to her...not to mention I've been enjoying how independent I have grown as I've been on a path of self-discovery after a traumatic last year. And I've been open, but I still feel tense at the idea of meeting someone. And here, the pool is VERY small for such a big city. So I understood after a moment what she meant. But he appeared actually genuine (vs me here hehe) so I was hoping she would give him a chance. Looking forward to their date this week. I hope not though. Brooks played her cards right IMO last season so she better not get hit with the second season curse. Meanwhile, Caroline has been playing her cards right so far. She's really giving LoL Caroline (but a little bit mature) again and I love it.

RHoDubai I thought it was just okay. Which is odd to me because the S2 opener was pretty solid. This episode (outside of the fashion) was just there for me. I can't put my finger on why. THINGS I LIKE: THE RESOLUTION. Last week, it was Sara vs Ayan. And this week...resolution. What I love about it was it brought back what used to be a more HW staple...the one-on-one brunch talk. It used to be when housewives were feuding within the group, they would go and sit down ALONE and deal with it. Now people want to do these talks in a group, and it unsurprisingly goes left. So good on them being adult enough to do so. Speaking of...interesting to see Lesa, Ayan, and Caroline at a table themselves given what's coming and the tension. NEW GIRL. First of all, I want to say while I thought Taleen's hubby was cute and personality-wise is screaming my type, online was really thirsting for him and I don't see it the way they were acting. I guess I was thinking Romain Zago hot, but smh. So far, I like Taleen. I said it last week by her connection to X-Tina and her past as a up-and-coming musician. This week she continued to be a good ride-or-die for Brooks. However, at the same time, she clearly has her own mind and doing what the best newbie Housewife should do...get to know the other girls and form their own judgement. LITTLE TALES. I giggled at Lesa's story with her mother. And I really laughed at Sara...cuz GUUUUUURLL!!! I don't have a problem with bald men. And we know I love scruff. So together the guy Taleen was trying to match Sara up with was a catch. And Sara was being so stand-off-ish though I understood. It showed another layer to Sara who is going to need to show a lighter side. And I was shocked to see next week she DID go on a date with the guy. And then we have Brooks' and her recurring drama at the Glass House. And Ayan and her business. Even Caroline is busy with the dramatic Sergio. So...everyone has some story going on versus just one overarching story. I like that. YOU CAN'T HAVE A HOUSEWIFE SHOW WITHOUT...And of course, it would not be a HW show without someone feuding. And it seems to be (right now) the Tale of Two Carolines. Brooks is savage so formidable. Meanwhile, Caroline can be formidable herself when she's channeling her persona from LADIES OF LONDON. And so far this season, Caroline has done just that...something she made clear to me online since she's been engaging this year and making me just a little bit starstruck. So it could be fun, but... THINGS I DON'T LIKE WTF BROOKS...hunni, what is this? I have no idea why Brooks is coming for Caroline. And she is not being clear. And I find that it rings false. I am going to wait and see on it, but I can't decide if it is (I hope not) Production leaving something out so the audience does not know the basis of what the feud is about or is Brooks making drama so something is going on. I found Brooks to be messy last season, but pretty direct. So again, this feels false. WOMEN BUSINESS, NOT SERGIO BUSINESS. Well, at least Sergio did not walk over there with his Wig Kory Lite self, but him sending the ladies to the patio to interfere with the Carolines talk was just ugh. Boy, Caroline got this. Ok episode. Still looking forward to this week.

6-10 Awwww I got to see some Ashley after all!!! My reaction was just like Tucker's. I was not expecting to see her. And those Tucker/Ashley scenes...were soooo good. THAT was what had been missing since the start of this alter storyline. That back and forth. I also liked that Ashley was able to apologize to him. And she even tried to make amends with Audra. And there it was again! I said there was a scene a while ago where CC and BM looked like they had a bit of a spark as Alan and Traci. And there was something that the director was doing where they kept zooming in on Alan while Traci was talking after he was asking about Traci as a person that made me go hmmmm. Could they finally be giving Traci a new love interest? And okay Victor...you have my interest piqued. It was already there with his scene with Diane last week. Now he wants Michael to get closer to her. Clearly, we are about to get another round of him vs Jack. And since Victor wants Cole to get close to Kyle, I take it to mean I might actually be interested in the lame Kyle vs Diane story.

Hehe. Never stopped. I've been one since the SJB Carly scene on the pier with EB...back when Liz...to paraphrase the words from said scene...'was no angel.' But as someone else said, if there was anyone who I felt could write Jason/Liz back together it would be PM so I'm not sure about if it would happen now. But I've been liking the slow burn with them since Jason's return.

Agree. Issues aside, SB has definitely been connecting with the material and it shows. All of what you said. But I said I was one of those Liason fans bitd. Amen.

Oh...???

A whole mess. Or payback?

Yeah, I feel that is a given. That was something that I've love under PM. That you got to see (and hear the POVs of) all of Jason's 'women' and his kids as well. That sins of the father. It's been funny given how people on this board talked about how Jason neglected his kids for years and seeing it said on-screeen. Well-earned dialogue. But hoping it continue. Hehe. That's on my binge list. Cuz I love him, but I reeeeally love Rutina Wesley.

THIS. I was glad to see What'sHerName in the Hot Brennan scenes last week cuz I was just thinking the same thing. Where had the recurring nurses gone?

Amen. He does it well. I was long over Jordan (though I love CZ camping it up) so I enjoyed every moment of EB, Victor, and that cage set. And he played it soooo well. Well sometimes a vaca is needed. Watching 6-10 now and glad to see Ashley still.

6-10 YOU BETTA READ HIM, LIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep. That was worth the wait. I can't believe Finn though he was going to smooth it over. And then he wanted to make it about Liz. Let me roll my eyes. That said though, I thought they both did a great job acting. And then in swooned Jason. And I swooned, too. Cuz...Liason. lol. And then Jason and Liz at the pool. *Taoboi swoons again* Cuz...Jason and the feet. He wasn't wrong. But one thing I have liked on Jason's return was that he was interacting with all his baby mamas and kids and I'm afraid that will be lost very soon. And Drew/Nina continue to be fire. Hehe. Welcome to the club. As you see there is cake but we also have cookies.

RHOA Kenya suspended?? Well tea coming around 6pm on her Live.

As much as I love Martin...yeah pretty much. And I too lived for the shade of everyone picking on Willow. It would have been better if she had been faking.

Same. God bless Eric Braeden!

Oh, I agree with that totally. And she didn't even look dead. See? I feel that was a case of FV loving the actor and telling them to find a way to keep him around. And BOOM Surprise Brother!! BOOM!!! And then there was two!!!

Wait. You stopped watching OC? When? I have no doubt. You see who she was with that I posted? I'm glad I am playing catch-up. I totally forgot I haven't watched the reunion yet. This weekend...

LOL. That makes me feel better cuz that sequel outside of the end was...ugh.

TESTIFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing me I probably will eventually. I really liked the original movie. If it's truly homage versus ripoff, I'm sure I'm enjoy it. My tolerance for ripoff only goes so far...well as long as they have the essence of the story. Like how I feel about Keanu Reeves's CONSTANTINE. Love it cuz they got the essence even if it was not completely comic book accurate.

Oh, for sure: FS 2023. I would agree to an extent on their pacing problem. Especially when it came to couples. in: BLQ/Chase, Sprina. Or just about all of them would start to either have a nice flow and then get a roller coaster ride of tropes to keep them apart or they would get a good start and then be stalled by some silly reason. Plotting hmmm Yes!! I remember that whole mess. And I love that as soon as GF signed, several of you all let me know, knowing my love for Laura and GF. Because that was just disgusting what FV tried to pull with her. But I felt she handled him that situation very well. Same. I liked Livvie as a heroine, but she soared when she went villainess and the best kind cuz she would do the wrong things, but you understood why at the same time. The gray of it all. And KM and ME back then...mmmmm. How she managed to get back into Caleb's good graces was schemer gold. I am also saddened that Nolan North's character never crossed over to do battle with Robin and/or Patrick. That wrote itself when PC ended. YES re: Trina. And now with the scenes I just saw with Gio...I see potential and I can live with it for now, but I know I'm side-eyeing my screen at the same time. I could see them doing that. And me and Twitter are nope. I see soaps related stuff occasionally, but nothing big.

6-7 Well, I see everyone's been doing their squats cuz DAMN!!! LOL. Day 2 of the pool being open and here comes Big Daddy Drew with the sexy goodness...though I was scared for a moment he shaved. Or perhaps he did in the first scene. lol. Bad editing made good. And I could take or leave Dex most days now, but the actor is still pretty to look at. Well, that back and chest hair lol. And YES, PLEASE to Gio and Trina. I rolled my eyes at him with Joss the day before with her making cutesy poses and stuff. But I saw some nice chemistry between Gio and Trina. And I was wondering if he had seen her before, too. Perhaps when she was looking for backup colleges? But I love the vibe. I was just thinking that I haven't seen Nina/Drew around each other so thank God they got a simmering heat scene. hehe. If Willow and Wiley weren't there, they gave the vibe they would do it in public. lol. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but enjoying this Finn storyline. Poor Jake being the one who caught him. And I was wondering if he was going to take the blonde home. Cuz of course, that would mean cheating and of course the hope that it frees Liz. And speaking of Liz...when Jake told her what he saw...if looks to kill...oooooo. And we know that I LOVE that Liz walking in on Finn as the Friday cliffhanger. GIVE 'IM HADES, LIZ!!! Morgan yes. That actor no. I think you catch my drift. IKR. Thank you, Errol, for the tea.
