5-24 Well, I'll say this much...say what you want about the Jordan storyline...but THAT was a Friday cliffhanger!!! Silly Michael and Cole...Victor knows EVERYTHING. I was not expecting that cuz JOSH GRIFFITH. And on a FRIDAY??? Well done. I also was not expecting REAL Ashley. And her to be around for a good minute. So good on Tucker for getting through to her and keeping her out. And getting her to the Abbot house. And her friend able to get through to Ashley and explain the DID of it all. And now I am getting curious again because he AND Ashley are saying the same thing we all have been saying. All we have seen is an argument between her and Tucker. So...WHAT HAPPENED between Tucker storming off and Ashley coming back to Geona City. Hmmm...?

I would like to be wrong because she was the rare Housewife that was giving the charisma of old, but it does seem like she's going to fall.

Agree. It's like when Esme got called every name but her real one for a period of time. I was giggling, but it was a shock when someone here would use her real name. Same for Wagger. Same. Given how everyone sees him and just his general vibe from things I've seen or read...I agree with you. I now side-eye EK. Hahahahahaha I can't with you!!!

You know me well @Soapsuds I'm on the time jump episode when George has the long hair. I've liked it so far though George makes me want to shake him for how stupid he is and how easy he is manipulated. And I loved his rivalry with the guy (who has grown up looking hotter) from the cancelled show WILL about William Shakespeare. And Julianne Moore....ooooo the shade, hunni!!!! LMAO...has been the best part of the show for me. But I'm two or three episodes behind. It has lost its momentum now that George is with the King I fear. And now... @YRBB look at you watching all my faves!!! And BELOW DECK SAILING YACHT, too. I hope you are loving that messy ass season. Sorry that it is dealing with so much fallout for their already filmied fifth season that is now on pause. And ALIAS!!!! Great minds. I've been waiting to do a rewatch...but it will be the original DVDs with the original music. The reason why as much as I want to rewatch DAWSON'S CREEK, I can't without the original music....I watched most of it in real time so it doesn't hit the same. And I would love to have your opinion on the AMERICANS. I love Keri Russell from her FELICITY days (another show I might go ahead and watch even though yep...original music gone...but I loved that show and MMMMMMMMMMMMMM SCOTT SPEEDMAN.) BUFFY...will always love, but I'm not sure if I can sit through it completely now. That said...I'm on pause from ANGEL SEASON 2. But SEASON 2 was a ride on BUFFY. I think Season 4 was my least favorite season even though my favorite character returned at the end. I get why ABC wanted to interfere and make them get back to standalones, but I was one of the rare few who loved the Season 3 coda and wanted to see it pay off. I agree on Season 5, but still loved that season. Awwww Season 4 other than some weird writing choices was a good season.

Thank you for the refresher course and all the tea. I really and truly love the backup on the cast wealth. When I sat down to think about it from what I've seen on the show and online, it lined up the same and explained so much why Nina and Lesa were close and might have fallen out. I just was not sure about Sara and I had faith in Brooks. Interesting to see that Stanbury and Ayan are actually on the same level and all the other girls are higher than them. I'm curious how Taleen will fit into that hierarchy of money. Re: NuRHONY I'm two episodes into the cast trip and I'm side-eying Erin, waiting on Sai, and thinking poor Jenna. But overall...it's...ok? Lol. You might not be alone come end of season on the Ayan dislike.

Same. Since not all of us are savvy to news walls. Same. Since not all of us are savvy to news walls.

Yep. Not Red Lobster!!! But...SAME. From your lips to God's ears.

God no. Love her as an actress, but it would be nothing, but wasted potential again.

But Victor is justified. No one seems like they can keep Jordan imprisoned to save their lives, but him at this point. lol. Exactly! They still could had had Lauren trying to be there for Nikki and Oscar as a wedge between Nikki and Victor to find that Jordan manipulated the whole thing. And Claire still could have been obsessing over Victoria and we not know why yet, too. Except SUMMER picked up on something like she's acting now and tries to get an idea...perhaps with Chance's help. And a reveal at some big event...perhaps the C-W separate party which would reveal that, Ashley's alter, and perhaps a romantic beat or something. IKR!!! AL is best when claws out, not in.

I see, unless she makes a misstep which I don't see her doing, a takedown on Lesa failing miserably. I think they tried though. And she reverse uno carded on them.

And I feel Lesa was telling the truth. Which brings up a very good point of reference. Looking back at Season 1 and what's been revealed online through pictures, videos, facts, and blind items. If we were to figure out how wealthy the ladies really are...and I feel they are all wealthy at least moreso than the BH ladies...the hierarchy I feel would look like THIS: Nina (who I will miss and hope she cameos in) Lesa Brooks Stansbury And I do it like that because going by the reunion, Lesa and Nina were close before Stansbury and her were close. And one thing that was clear in Season 1 was that Stansbury was not the same HBIC in Dubai that she was on LoL. So it must have felt like a big fish in a bigger pool versus how she was the big fish in a small one. She would naturally have to start all over again forming connections. And Lesa already had that to have been close friends in Nina. And if Lesa has proven anything from what I've seen on the show...game recognizes game. That's why she didn't break a sweat for me at the reunion when Stansbury came for her. Lesa's rep preceded her and Stansbury should know...Lesa Milan IS NOT the one. I never watched COLLEGE HILL so what I know of Lesa Milan is from what you all have told me through the years and clips here and there. And for me, she lived up to her hype. And I know I haven't even scratch the surface. So Lesa having her claws out at the reunion...I believe everything she said. It's clear Lesa have those kind of connections in Dubai. I believe Stansbury is still wealthy, just not as wealthy as she was on LoL. Which brings me to Ayan...whom even as a model...I feel her wealth is lower than Stansbury, but perhaps on the same level as Sara's. I want to say that Ayan would not be so foolish as to pull a Jill, but the fact that she keeps throwing shade while Lesa says nothing to very little...it looks exactly like you say it looks. And she's going to overplay her hand. Lesa said it best in the s2 trailer...no show is worth anyone's friendship. So Ayan probably did play herself. Cuz I don't see Stansbury having her back, either.

Hehe. Same. Lord Baby Jesus that bottom one makes me wanta...well...you know...lol.

Exactly!!! I love CZ and her camp. I am loving Victor and the dungeon. But...yeeeeah, overall, it is too wash, rinse, repeat. Why take her to a hospital if she is going to escape like she's already done twice over the last month and a half? Victor for once is justified.

See? Now that you mentioned Alpha and Kenya, I HAAAAD to go look. And sure enough, her birthday...lol. Unlike He Who Shall Not Be Named, I still like Kenya. hehe smh. Well-played, Universe, well-played. Thank you for the verification on Caroline Stansbury's pre-LoL history. It's been sooo long since I've watched, I was afraid I might have misspoken. And her tagline was soooo reminiscent of the old LoL Caroline. Dare I hope that THAT part of her comes out to play? In terms of public opinion in regards to Ayan vs Lesa, it really and truly seems to be 50/50 (with a 1 percent just rte cuz it's been a year literally this month since last season). It's going to be interesting to see what caused the breakdown between the friendship...a friendship everyone loved last season. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the audience's favor is going to fall by the end of the season. Right now for myself, as much as I like Ayan, I'm Team Lesa. And I think I've mentioned how I'm a sucker for friend breakups on shows, fiction or reality tv. This one appears like it will be as much a doozy as THE HILLS Lauren vs Heidi.

5-22 Is it me or did anyone else see a bit of spark between Traci and Ashley's therapist Friend? Oh, lord, Cole figured it out!!! That said EP did a great job with those scenes. And ha at him at least not immediately letting her out. As much as I enjoy Victor torturing Jordan, I'm with @Soapsuds that this storyline has gone off the rails. Oh...? Vicious Lil vs Audra? I would be down for that. Cuz she's more on Audra's level than I feel Ashley is. ED continues to take this story and play it to the hilt. And it was nice to see TSJ checked in. Smh. As much as I don't like Billy in this C-W story, Devon isn't looking too hot right now either. Nice to see Jack giving his opinion.

Hehe. Not Vocal Fry!! Brynn a WHAT?????????? And yet lol that explains sooooooooooo much. As for Jenna, I feel like she said it in passing or I found out in passing...cuz I want to say we have the same birthday...hehe I went to look...YES, WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY...so it fits in terms of how she's been acting...even her little 'diva' moments. Now I'm looking at her in a whole different light. Agree. Hmmmm I'm not too sure of Stanbury though when it comes to her money. And it's funny that's her tagline given I was missed LADIES OF LONDON last night. I agree that she married into money, but I do believe she did come from old money because she did go to all the good schools growing up if I remember the show correctly. And it's part of the reason she could ice Caprice out since Caprice was not true old money AND American Season 1. I agree with you on Ayan as much as I like her. Someone made a comment yesterday that when housewives began to do press ahead of a season, they are usually doing it because they are trying to get ahead of the drama that they themselves caused. And what has Ayan been doing? Meanwhile, Milan has not said a thing. So more reason for me to feel that whatever happened with Milan (and apparently has worsen since they seem to mend fences and are back to not talking) I feel she was the cause of it and not (or partly) Milan. I cannot wait to see the mess.

But you're bias!!! 😜

LOL!!!

Lol. Tru dat apparently. A or B. And no offense to Hayden or the actress who played her, but unless Jeff Webber is coming back again for some messy conflict, the only sister of Elizabeth I would like to see is SARAH.

B&B's loss continues to be the world's gain.

5-22 Nothing much going on but repetition, but I do giggle at how Hope has been standing up for herself with Brooke, Ridge, and Steffy. And Finn...I just continue to want to shake.

5-17 I thought the concept of the cliffhanger was nice, but it was executed so poorly. Overall, I guess I liked the wedding. I definitely love the majority of the dresses. And as I mentioned I lived for that Liason scene. Awwww at Spin/Maxie apparently on their road back to each other only to get interrupted by Sam going for bat for Jason. And Lois was soooooooo in her element as Mother of the Bride. I kinda would have liked to see a montage for BLQ and Chase and found it odd to not get one. And Yaaaasss to Beast Brennan being back and plotting to get out of jail. Hopefully, heading right for Anna. Speaking of Anna...lol at the dis she gave Sonny. I'm going to be sad to see how her (and Laura) are going to be with Sonny once the writers change again. Because I felt before this writing change and during it that Anna would be a great adversary to Sonny as long as they don't dumb her character down. Something PM made sure not to do....and I cannot trust EK NOT to do. LOL Agree when Brennan was introduced. And I love his with Anna as well. Good to see I have some more to look forward to.

RHoDubai TAGLINES!!!!!

PREACH!!!

Same.
