I haven't yet, but I will totally keep that in mind. Nice beef at that in them slacks. YUM. Well, I'm sure you can imagine taking it off...since it looks like it's painted on anyway.

Same. Portia's. And that had a buildup as well with parties. AND took up a week.

I agree. I wouldn't even know where to start. I admit that I was thinking...especially with the bachelor/bachelorette party done...that it would be happening this week or tail end of last week. It's starting to feel like we are not getting to it until Memorial Day week or something. Hahahahaha

OMG YES. I saw that after work. And the comments were so hilarious I almost choked on my Jack in the box.

Ikr. I hollered they did that. Prehaps how they announced it is unclear, but it sounds like what it actually is that we have SEVEN peach holders and 50Cynt as a FOH. Very NY Season 5 when they kept half of the cast and got rid of the rest, bringing in a new golden age for NY.

Love the easter eggs. And I take it you saw the midcredit scene @NothinButAttitude? Cuz I called that and smiled.

Looks like him. And with all the Lulu recast talk, it does make me wonder if Lucky was to finally come back...and JJ was not willing...who would be a good casting choice for him.

Which would not at all be a bad thing.

Commence the beating of the drum!!!

That was one thing I did like when she was in the ward. She was rough beforehand and we got a break, and then we found out that Claire had a throughline of being nice to kids. So the idea of Claire hurting a kid, with her history, would be false...adding layer to the current arguments Kyle and Summer get into over her and Harrison. That said...I hope post fallout...Claire maybe winds up as Newman again. She does have the business knowledge and it would make sense.

That would be an interesting angle to take with Laura reexamining her life. Perhaps even bring in her missing children.

Hahaha. I'm scared to put it out there because no one wants a 'reboot' of past slights, but I do wonder since the writers are building up Dante/Sam and Sam/Jason in terms of relationship if they will just do that or dare they have Jason/Liz circling each other again. Of course, I'm bias. lol.

Double yay!!!

5-10 Lord...that was in record time! Sonny dropping Ava in one scene and picking up Natalia as his date in the next. I can't with Sonny being douche-y. lol. That said...Ava, what are you up to with this doctor? And now Ava is using reverse psychology on Sonny. Their renewed connection is starting to get oh so twisted. LMAO at Jason knowing Carly sooooo well because that's EXACTLY why she was at the prison. Still loving the Anna/Jason team-up. And Anna figuring now their enemies know they are onto them due to Carly. I kinda wish there was more of a cliffhanger Friday to this episode since it seems like the Pikeman storyline is (finally?) heading to climax with more and more people learning about Jason being part of the FBI, the audience knowing what is being held over his head, and now Brennan onto Carly which means Val will eventually be onto Anna. Cat and mouse indeed. Gregory bowing out of officiating the wedding. After all of that build. Did I hear that right? If so....hmmm a rewrite? In any case, he was overdue for some scenes with Alexis so we will see. Speaking of...I still feel like they are setting up for Finn/Alexis once everything is said and done. Which I don't mind. But where would Liz go if they go there? First Portia. And Now Jordan bringing the common sense to Laura about Heather. I liked those scenes. And credit where credit due, I thought TH had a lot of conviction in those scenes. Because realistically...where can Heather go from there? Some of her acts could be excused MAYBE, but ALL of them? Hold up. I liked the Natalia/Blase scenes in Blaze's hospital room. And I thought the Blaze actress did a good job because I felt there was a lot going on in her eyes. And yes, it's her life and I saw Natalia's point of view, but I really couldn't help but give her the newbie-sucking-up-storyline glare. I found the Sam/Jason scenes and the later Sam/Dante scenes weak. And I don't blame that on JB or DZ at all. It felt like KM was phoning it in. And in the aforementioned Sam/Dante scenes, it screamed cue cards to me. Which I found out because both of the actors were giving. I guess it said something about costuming that Dex looked better in sweats than he looked in that police suit.

Hehe. You ain't wrong though.

Wow. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since Cody and Sasha has been more on screen, I had been wondering if JJY was okay enough to come back to finish out that storyline so good to hear this news.

Very. LOUDER TO THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!

I agree for sure. Since PM came on, the scenes have been long and the dialogue soooo much better. And another scene...the dialogue AND scenes have been so much more about the individual's inner life and their motivations. Their feelings. And that is just a PM hallmark. Less dialogue that is just plot, plot, plot. Plot IS still going on. But it's being build upon. If anything...it's just a feel of someone else in the works. Which has not been the first time it has happened on this show since FV has been there. So...things that make you go hmmmm. More of the characters we love would be nice. And written in character to boot.

From your lips to God's ears. All this stuff going on with Sonny and Taggert who has been back in town not around? Just...odd. And sad. Why we bringing Ronn Moss into this? But that's how I feel about CZ as Jordan over at Y&R rn. Hate the storyline, but CZ knows she can chew everything in sight. High camp, but I LIVE for it.

Ah!!! I've been misunderstanding this whole time. My apologies. lol. I agree then. I think they could be a great match. He does have his excess, but one thing I could say about Buzz on GL for better or worse, he was always ON.

NY I've continuing my binge of nuNY. I've made it to Erin's anniversary party and its aftermath. Can I just say that so far...I like all the husbands. I see why Erin and her man are constantly having babies...lol. He just seems like that strong silent type that is a gentleman in public, but behind closed doors WOOF!!! lol. Jessel's man seems like an adorable geek and not ugly by any means. And Sai's man totally matches her energy and at the same time blends in so well with her personality. I see why they are together. I find the group as a group very fascinating to watch. See how they were acting at the anniversary party. Partly like friends. Partly kinda rude friends. lol. And Sai with the food. And then they had that little event thing where it did feel like a gang-up on Erin which is funny since Erin came in there loaded to bear. While I understand where Erin was coming from...GURLLL, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Sai had already established herself as a no-nonsense woman so it did not surprise me at all that she gathered Erin with the quickness. So Erin tried to make it about Brynn. And Brynn didn't back down, either. And I saw both sides of that argument. Because in a way...Brynn for all of her Brooke Davis by way of Rachel persona...should have known that joke or not...her taunting with Erin's husband was in poor taste. On the other hand, Erin should have known...especially since everyone else at the table knew...that's how Brynn always is. So it can't be taken that seriously. So, why, did you take it seriously, Erin? Some hidden insecurity or just her way of starting a feud to be relevant on the show? Hmmm. And it seems I'm at the midpoint of the season judging from the promo. So where are the ladies standing? UBAH. I hate to say it, but it feels like she has just vanished. This last episode...she was there in Gizelle Bryant's phone. Just...wow. JENNA. Still giving me icon. Sorry, not sorry. lol. If there's anything I'm noticing, it's that she is a sniper from the side kind of Housewife. And no one seems to have clocked that. YET. I am still not understand why the other girls are pressed with her about her social life. Also yet. Because she actually has been a housewife so far to the audience. She is showing her life. She is mixing it up a little bit. She has family to film with, too...if not as much as the others. And it seems clear, she is just...shy. And she's explained why she's shy. It just feels like they want her to open up sooner than she feels comfortable doing. And I can't say I like that. ERIN. Well, I can't say she doesn't give us the good, the bad, and the ugly so far. Like Jenna, I feel she's showing her life as well. Her and Sai definitely do come across as friends...and all the things that come along with it. And I liked her sit-down with Jessel so she has someone to mix it up with. But post-sit-down, it's clear she saw Jessel isn't an easy target so she was going to have to go at someone else. Unfortunately for her, most of the cast ARE NEW YORKERS. You might think you are a bull, but so is half of the cast. Her storm-out after Sai gathered her and Brynn really paid her dust and no one else really had her back outside of Jenna was hilarious. Meanwhile...I loved her anniversary party. JESSEL. She is sloooowwly coming out of her own shell. Her marriage is definitely not what it seems. But...it makes sense to me. I cannot believe to tell you how many couples...married or not...who go through fertility issues or intimacy issues after kids...so it's difficult for them to rediscover how they were before. It's why it was a sore spot for Jessel with Jenna's gift. They still have a long way to go I suspect. And the girls are not helping. In fact, I would think they would be more sympathetic...whether Jessel is being a princess or not. SAI. I admit. At my former hotel job, we were known to get the heads-up when an incoming influencer was coming in. I took it with a grain of salt...though the few I've met were good folk. So it was nice to see behind the curtain with Sai. And what it takes to be one. She definitely appears self-made and takes it seriously. And that I can respect. Her family life fits her well. And regardless of her tough exterior, it does seem she has a heart. BUT...she IS NOT a pushover. Could she use a little more...hmm tact? YES. lol. Cuz her and food...lmao. She does not play. But she also ain't going to be a scapegoat for Erin's insecurities so I enjoyed her gathering Erin...friend or not. BRYNN. They could never make me hate you...LOL. Team Brynn in her fight with Erin though I do understand Erin's side. I was like the rest of the girls. It seems like this flirty persona she has on screen is the same off so Eric should not have taken it seriously. Her husband didn't. That said...I hope it doesn't mean that when Brynn needs to be accountable for something more...serious...she can own it. Time will tell.

Him and Portia's brother. Alas. It would be nice sorry to say. Very.

Oh? Cool! And he can stay as consistent as he wants. I totally agree! It has been refreshing to watch. I see two people who I either never seen together or rarely see together and it just gets the wheels turning. It also gives a more wider sense of community. I don't hate it at all. Sometimes it's really nice to see people outside of their story bubbles.

Smh. Lord...let's hope not. lol. Though to be fair...as much as I like Claire, I feel she should always keep that edge that the actress is actually good at doing.

5-8 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The reason that Jason is under the FBI's thumb is a plot point from the old writers? First of all...well-done for it to be THAT one. Because it was such a Carly thing for Carly to do back then. And LW was FIERCE in her white suit and in full Carly Boss Bitca Mode when she outsmarted Cyrus then. Second of all...it's funny to have this reveal just as Carly...is on the loose...going to the prison to see Brennan (mmmm Beast) to fish info and do yet another of her Carly schemes. Such a writing technique to use and used well here. This Dante/Sam scene. Just swoon. It was just so small and so intimate and just how DZ sells the love in his eyes for KM. I was just awww. It does make me continue to wonder if the writers are going to eventually attempt a Dante/Sam/Jason triangle or take Sam in a whole other direction. Because this just seems like a two-fold scene. One fold...strengthening the Dante/Sam relationship for if/when drama occurs...something the writers have done a great job since the change with them. Two fold...a small rift/potential-for-conflict that starts here, and will start to grow. Time will tell. Yes, I'm down for this Anna/Jason team-up. But I love seeing Anna in pure Anna mode. Little does she know she's closer than she thinks to the truth. So ready for her cat-and-mouse game to truly begin with Val. Because it feels like it is his exit storyline...something wished for often here. Was Jagger even still in town when Lois arrived? That time period is a blur for me since I was not a regular viewer then. It seems organic enough for me, but I was actually shocked that she knew him from town versus just the old neighborhood. And here comes Laura with her concerns about Heather. But I like how GF plays her conflict over it. And I loved Kevin being there for her, but at the same time playing devil's advocate. Well he IS foine. lol. I was interested when he first appeared when Dex started the process of joining the academy. But yes, there seems to be a lot of chem-testing. I'm not surprised though. I've said when the writer change happened, that if the writers are going by 'The Rules,' they would be seeing what works on the canvas and what does not before they do major changes. And chemistry testing is part of that.
