You know what? I could see them doing the drugging incident just like that. We heard it here first.

Well going by online rumbling it sounds like they are placing BrookLyn where Sam should be so...

8-26 And finally...it's said aloud. Luna IS the killer. Well...I guess the plus to that is that the actress looks like she's going to give camp. lol. On the other hand, I guess it means that Brad Bell got tired of trying to make her and RJ happen. So does that mean RJ is leaving...or is he heading for a triangle with Will now that he's been aged up? That cage in the house....lol...definitely camp. So Bill and Justin DID make up off-screen? What a waste.

OC After another horrible work day...yay I'm free from work to enjoy my Labor Day. So I'm happy to say that I got to watch my first episode of the 'Tamra Returns' season. And...I liked it. I liked the seasons without her. And I have loved how OC has slowly bounced back, starting with Heather's return the season before this one. But it was still missing...something. And here comes Tamra. So this episode was a solid start. We got an update on Tamra. We got updates on the other housewives. And Tamra is already slowly stirring the pot by coming after Shannon. I still miss Noella and Elizabeth Vargas (who I am happy to hear made an appearance in the current season?), but I felt this episode had a nice slow burn to it and that coda with the ONE WEEK LATER...hehe...she's starting... First impressions for me... TAMRA. It was nice to get the update. Just like when Kenya came back to RHOA, they gave her a whole montage. Eddie has gone back to looking FOINE, though I'm sorry about Cut Fitness. Love her or hate her, Tamra does put in the work, and she appeared to be a lot more chill here. SHANNON. Speaking of chill, I like that Shannon has been playing Tamra dust from go. I'm sure it won't stay that way. But it's rare that Shannon appears to be happy. I also know it won't last. And HAhahaha at Shannon walking in on Tamra and Dumb&Dumber Emily, and Gina talking about her. HEATHER. Giving wealth. Giving class. Giving a potential feud with Gina. EMILY. Is still being a little pot-stirrer, but will she outdo Tamra? Hm. Probably not. And look at her with Tamra during that little exercise. I couldn't help, but feel Tamra was putting her on notice. GINA. Just throwing anything at the wall to keep herself relevant. Which sadly...a feud with Heather just might do that. JEN. So far, so good. And I don't care if he's crooked (yet), but her man with the roman nose is FOINE, too. She is definitely intriguing. And how OC that all the ladies are already gossiping behind her back.

Lol. Well at least the actress is giving camp...perfect for how overdramatically fierce JMW can be as Steffy. I'm down.

OMG Same!!!! Since her days as Jana on Y&R. I never knew!!! Oooooo so this is the interview I've been hearing so much about where Billy drags the Writer.

Yep. It got moved with the quickness. Yeah, I called it at random on Luna as well. Not sure if I believe it. Well, I could believe it...especially the Hollis part...if it was just about Luna wanting a better life which Bill can provide as she would be a Spencer. On the other hand, too many plot holes in the motive for me. But I haven't finished the week yet so we will see how it goes.

Awwww sad Daddy...

Ooooh I feel that re: horrible work week. Today is my Friday, and the work politics have been extremely messy, sad, and unfortunate. So looking forward to the back-to-back days I have coming off to decompress, chill...and binge lol. I hope you are able to do the same. Until then...*HUGS* I figured I got it then, and other people explained it online better...and Brooks of course went online with texts making it seem like that whole drama was a case of Stanbury being a sniper from the side (which is why I love these games between Stanbury and Lesa), but it seem like Lesa was simply just doing an event at the venue...not unlike how Kenya does her events...it's just that Brooks is also just a spa while Lesa's launch was about a lot more than spa-ing. But how Lesa had the set-up does not sound like Brooks would have let her do up the Glass House the same way than the place Lesa chose. Otherwise, Lesa would have considered it. Brooks being the diva she is...was going to be offended either way. I wish Lesa had just given her a heads-up. Also interesting that apparently Brooks and Lesa talked (and resolved) it off screen before that brunch. So it seems like Taleen was trying to be messy for a moment. Oh, yeah. Over the last few episodes, Saba has been speaking nothing, but common sense to Sara (with a Nina cameo) and I've like that in a friend. And she's slightly goofy so I finally warmed to her. It is sad to see they fell out. But I take it you saw my video above. Interestingly enough, Sara was on the same show. So I feel the plot thickens. I also hope she comes back. Oh, tell me about it. I have friendships like that. And a lot of fallout over the past year. It definitely makes for compelling drama. THE HILLS with LC and Heidi comes to mind. Or B Davis and P Sawyer on ONE TREE HILL. And Lesa and Ayan now. As for right now and friendships breaking up...Mercury Retrograde perhaps...this particular one was about introspection and also reveals on peoples' true nature. I don't know if you believe in that kind of thing, but I'm a spiritual person and the energy has definitely been out there for it. Also part of what's been going on at my workplaces.

8-21 Hold up, hold up, hold up!!! No one told me that people were going to running around reading each other. LOL!!!! I was mentioning that I liked the scene between Jordan and Molly the other day. Part of that was the fact that they don't usually have scenes together. And alone. It was nice and unexpected and it was a versus. I'm now wondering if Cathy wrote that episode (and will probably go back in the thread to look), because this episode is ON FIRE. I didn't have Joss vs Trina on my bingo card given how they try to write Trina as a background character at times. But not only did Trina have a point of view. Not only did she read Joss down. But TA BROUGHT IT. She was having NONE of Joss's sass and I was here for it. And it is good to see the Ava/Trina friendship more or less restored since I felt it was abruptly changed. Ava will always need that Achilles heel that humanizes her, but keep her as the femme fatale. Meanwhile, Anna vs Sonny??? The fact it looked like they were about to throw Anna (well, more) on the Altar of Sonny to make him look better only for Anna to throw KAREN ON A POLE in Sonny's face. OOooooooo read, Anna...REEEEEADDDD. And then she dragged Jason away, too. I was hollering and love the history usage. I even like that the New/Old Writers acknowledged that Anna broke it off with Sonny during PM's run. The amount of grey in Anna and Jason during this episode were fascinating to watch. And now Jason is reading Anna with her WSB past as a double agent after she brings up his accident. And awww at the Anna/Jason breakup...one of my favorite pairings under PM. More, please. Speaking of Sonny, MB suuuuure is rising to the occasion. That said, Sonny is really coming across slimy to me as the episodes keep going. He was about to use Anna for bait. He doesn't give a frak about Anna. But at the same time, we are supposed to see Sonny as some hero? I am not getting grey from him as much as I am getting polarizing. I guess it is better than the indifference I normally feel when it comes to Sonny (outside of Brenda). And Kristina...aka 'deer in the headlights.' (well-played, writers with that piece of dialogue. )The bombshell of her deciding that she was going to keep the baby after all. I think we all know I am a Kristina fan, but BIIIIITCCC*H. Like father, like daughter. But it's the first time in a long while since I've disliked her. If the New/Old Writers are going for a Molly v Kristina family feud...I'm Team Molly. Moreso after I gasped when Alexis told Molly to look in her briefcase. Liking everything surrounded the funeral so far. And definitely feeling it.

Wow. You all were not kidding about Kate Mansi. WOW.

Hehe. Like I said...hit or miss when it comes to May. Awwwww. BUT...I agree. And during to their awesome break-up...like everyone else here...I just don't feel anything else, but grovelling before the happy ending will do. It will be full circle to that scene in fact. And I liked that 2013 was a step in the right direction with them getting back on good terms from the break-up. Well if Sonny can recover from AJ's murder... While I agree with this, I felt the 8-19 episode felt more like an official shift for these New/Old Writers than even that. I admit that I'm impressed with how watchable it has been been in spite of the abruptness. It has a flow again. A momentum. And while some things still bug me (Sasha/Cody interruptus silly comedy, Ava/Nina becoming friends again like before PM), it's surprisingly good binging.

I always felt it was February, November, and (depending on the writing regime) May. Cuz usually February and November Sweeps for soaps were really great soaps. May could be so hit-or-miss.

Emphasis on A LOT OF HARD WORK.

I think we were just joking and not to be taken literally. Though bitd it was February, May, and November were the big focuses with end of summer being a nice treat.

As if I won't watch that all over again after this hectic work day. lol. Not going to lie. I watched this one a week or so ago. lol. I thought it was well done if funny. I am sure it's in my FAVORITES list, too. Technically no. But I do like it when soaps go for it at end of summer anyway. Keeps us fans on our toes.

LOL...Vanessa definitely brought the buzz. You make me wonder if I can find that promo. I am now curious. Perhaps some time this weekend once my work schedule settles. Slowly catching up so good to hear you say that. And it's not even Sweeps yet lol.

It's funny you say that since I just watched GH's 8-19 episode and Jordan just did that with Molly (using a different setting and giving the reason for it in dialogue). I immediately thought of this and it was so plausible how it was done. I mean they were using the park pretty often at one point. And it seem like they are slowing getting back to that. Now if they just had all the hottie men do the jogging. lol.

LOL!!! Hilarious.

Oh, really? I had no idea when I picked that picture. It was meant to be. I haven't heard anything either. At least...not yet.

8-19 And so it begins...I finally make it to the start of the Lulu storyline. You know I'm at least super excited about that. Cuz Laura...her kids...nuff said. Speaking of excited...BRRRRAD!!!!!!!!! TERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Brad looking kinda FOINE. lol. That said it seem like the focus is shifting back to the hospital again. But will Brad get a storyline? Love interest? I wasn't expecting Jordan vs Molly, but I didn't dislike it at all. A mama will let an in-law know what's up. So that was good. Grrr...are Sasha and Cody ever going to make it official? I've over the silliness of them being almost there and then something happens. It's long overdue, boring, and stalls on moving them to something different or new. And now thanks to Wagger, Molly is seriously starting to side-eye Kristina. That seems like something is going to happen, and it's going to be a slow burn. Like the rift growing between TJ and Molly. I'm intrigued. Wagger coming out into the open and start to come for Sonny by Kristina. I have no words. I take that back. I would say delicious. If these New/Old writers are going back to the same ole, same ole, that is a BOLD move to make given how inconsistent Wagger has been up to now. It also brought out the mama bear in Alexis. And I love Mama Bear Alexis cuz she be fierce AF. I loved seeing Dante react and bond with Kristina as well. And the buddy walkoff a la Sonny/Jason was part lol, part rme, but I've already discussed the abruptness of them back on good terms, so I won't go on on that again. I will go on these New/Old writers continuing to give us Whiny Anna as Jason told her about Val being behind Sonny's meds. Anna, come on. You hear Val on the phone, revealing he was the head of Pikeman who was doing hits on Sonny. Is it that far-fetched for you? I was just smh. Give me my tough Anna, not Anna the Valentin apologist. I loved Jason was asking exactly what I was asking...cuz it seems like subtext between the writers and us the audiences who know darn good and well they are trying to prop Val to high heaven while planting annoying seeds he's going to come back. He can come back...if he is dying that is. And here goes Jason telling Sonny about Val... That was not boring at all. It felt like more of an OFFICIAL shifting of writers. Still got a bad taste in my mouth. However I admit...I was impressed. Now tbf...not everyone saw that promo...and bitd no spoilers like how social media is now...you know how I reacted for that particular Friday cliffhanger back in 2000 with no idea at all. And you know I tuned in the following week with the quickness. lol. I feel like if when she returns...it would totally be a secret...for a few hours. lol. THEN we would get a promo that would all over social media.

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

Well, well...I guess what we were discussing is true. And no RHOA in sight... But isn't Taleen still an ex-pat herself? It doesn't seem like Saba was even at the reunion so time will tell.

Yeah, that's what I am afraid of. Saba can go places I feel the others cannot as much as they would like to. Ayan's story about Sara at the Season 1 reunion comes to mind.

I could see that.
