Hehe. I'm surprised that it hasn't yet to be honest.

Probably not. But I'll take that Round 2 between her and Li if she's not going anywhere. Please and thank you.

RHOM Well, it might have taken me forever and a day, but finally have gotten back around to my viewing of RHOM Season 5. Currently made it through Episode 6 and 7 and... ...Lisa continues to be the storyline. And I liked it. I believe I mentioned the last time I watched that I felt like she kinda saw it coming with Lenny, but she assumed that they would work it out. And Production was sure to give the rollback from last year's reunion as well as throughout this season so far, that the signs were always there. Sad to see it, but I respect that Lisa was transparent and showed EVERYTHING. And Lenny's mother being there for her when she has NEVER liked Lisa...is just WOW. Though yes, I know how it ends sadly. And I also loved that regardless of all the fighting during Alexia's latest birthday that they all can band together to support Lisa. Speaking of fighting...like a great telenovela, RHOM continues to give so much...and awesome fashion, excellent scenery, and just a great vibe all around. I should have known that in time, Alexia would show up to be 'the star' like she always does. However...her itch to be said star (outside of her organic BFF friend reaction to the Lenny reveal of getting on a plane, fighting the girl and Lenny, and pulling up on them which I LOVE cuz SAME. I'm THAT friend heehee) was ruffling feathers. And it also gave echoes of my favorite RHOM opening...SEASON TWO with New Miami vs Old Miami. Guerdy called it here...and Nicole did the same last season. There IS a pecking order and Alexia and Marysol just expect everyone to fall in line. Uhhhh NO. This ain't high school and they are all grown. So expect pushback. But wow!!! Alexia and Julia?? JULIA? Alexia and Guerdy...which was been building since Episode 1 of this season due to Alexia's shade. And now...Alexia and Adriana? Adriana??? Does she not know Adriana DOES NOT PLAY? I mean even that talk between Alexia and Julia at the stand...all Alexia needed was to be humble pie and grin and nod because she was in the wrong. But...NO. Not a good look on Alexia. But it gave some moments for sure. As of right now... ALEXIA. Girl just can't have a birthday party without any mess, can she? lol. But seriously, it really was not a good look on Alexia to make those comments at Julia...and then DOUBLING DOWN on them. No, ma'am. And then she tried to deflect. First to Adriana. And then Guerdy? I mean...Alexia gives good reaction shots to so...a reach. And then she wanted to get bull-headed when Guerdy called her out on having a big head. Girl, bye. I did like Adriana clocking her with COCAINE COWBOYS though. As 'The Star,' she gotta learn to take her licks too. It's not all about playing victim. LARSA. It continues to surprise me how well she's fitting in this season vs last season. And to think she and Lisa started the season, silly feuding. I loved her being by Lisa's side during that dinner before Lisa flew home. And while I get what she meant about how divorced people should give advice to divorced people, I was still Team Guerdy in terms of everyone having an opinion. Deal. GUERDY. Speaking of fitting in better, she continues to. And at this point, they all should know that Guerdy can overreact. No more different than they do tbh. Alexia's mistake was trying to deflect onto her when Alexia should have just apologized. Cuz that gave Guerdy the floor to gather her later. And since Alexia likes to hold a grudge (and I still haven't seen Guerdy with those awesome bangs from the trailer), I know this rivalry has some legs and I can't wait. JULIA. Kitten got claws!!! lol. It was nice to see Julia get into the fray. And it was funny that Alexia would be mad that she came for her and so did Adriana when her and Marysol also do the same to others. Like Guerdy and Larsa, also fitting in nicely. And I love her friendship with Adriana anyway. And Guerdy during the phone call makes three. I can't wait for more. And we are sure to get it given the tea Larsa dropped at the end of Episode 7 about the man. NICOLE. Can I just say...in case I didn't...coming to a party in a whole boat. THAT'S AN ENTRANCE!!!! lol. Nicole was pretty low key these two episodes, but I loved her reactions all the same. LISA. MVP. I do wish we had some footage from her run-in with Lenny and the girl at the club. I remember that in real time. It would have been so nice to see it. Still...Lisa gave so much over these two episodes. The drama with the girl and the nanny. The call to Lenny. The storming off from Production. Sitting with the Mother-in-Law. I was watching. Just a mess...whether she was deluded or not. MARYSOL. Not really doing much except being Alexia's lapdog. Okay, not true. Being there for Lisa just as much as Larsa. That I liked. ADRIANA. For a FOH, she was bringing a lot. Comedy. The history about her theme song music. Her trio with Julia and Guerdy. And now she continues to have this drama with Alexia over Theirry. Their rivalry has been interesting to watch cuz who would have thought that with Las Cubas. And that drama...like most of it on this show...is building. So...great showing. Can't wait to continue...

Hehe. So happy she released that cd yesterday. Will get around to getting it eventually. And guess what I'm listening to right now? That video of them was a highlight of my summer for sure. Oh, yes!!! I still see so many clips of Gina as well as Janet. Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She did!!! And I saw the clip where she also said it to Krissy's face. I respect that.

9-19 I know that Brooke IS NOT in here picking on ANYONE for having sex in the office given her track record. And YAASSS to Hope calling her out on that. I was like BROOKE... I just can't believe that they are all attacking Hope for actually...ACTING HER AGE. And we know I have NO COMPLAINTS on getting Thomas shirtless. lol. Oooh see...a flashback done right...I didn't know Eric was having a hand problem and that was why RJ was with him. But that said...I can't believe (okay I can) Ridge is making it all about him and feeling hurt that RJ is designing with Eric. Donna SHUT UP. That said...nice to see all the Logan women together. Also nice to see there was TWO storylines going on again. While I like the slow build on Eric vs Ridge, it was on every day and could use another storyline going on.

9-18 Well, I knew it was coming, but I can't say I didn't dislike the Adam/Sally kiss. Ooooo at Victor and the portrait. That said, outside of Nikki being in Boss Mode, I am not feeling the Newman storylines right now. But it could be that it's in a constant state of repeat. I almost wish that Victoria would do a power move a la what she did with Ashland to get the money back...but I know, I know...WRONG Victoria. And already there are cracks in her relationship with Nate.

9-11 Now hold on one minute!!! Jake and CHARLOTTE??? Well...it has been a while since GH had some pre-teens running around with a sweet young love. And it's one of Liz's kids so I would be for a story. I think. Though my mind is mentally family tree-ing as I type this. Meanwhile...I am wondering if there is going to be a story with Maxie's kids since they keep popping up and running around like they are BeBe's Kids. Yeah, this Sonny storyline made me go ??? at this court hearing. I mean...it had a shockingly good build so I ALMOST thought Sonny might wind up in jail with Cyrus (who I can't believe is back and how he has been connected to Austin/Mason and Nikolas though well played I guess) and Drew. So I am shocked the evidence has vanished. So the mystery of Pikeman continues, but I love that Anna appears to be side-eying Valentin now. I continue to love that Tracy is not just in one story. From all the Eddie Maine drama to her looping back around to trying to take Deception from Lucy. YES, PLEASE. Happy to see Ms. Wu in the opening. And I loved that little black/white lace dress she wore a little while ago and how LL moved period. Like a calculating snake. Ooooo...she had Sonny pressed, Gladys scared, and Dante worried. GOOD. I am really looking forward to what moves she appears to be slowly making. I also continue to roll my eyes at Esme as Sprina spoiler. But I liked that Trina let her feelings get known with Spencer. I also loved that he expressed himself on being clear with Trina about where his feelings stand with Esme. And I loved the turtle doves. I also loved the cameraman and those pants on Spencer.

I paid the video dust. Though I did see how she was fighting for her life in everyone's online comments. And I do mean EVERYONE's. I was sitting back binge watching LOTR this weekend and self caring laughing cuz...why are you under people's comments...normal people...commenting when they did not even TAG you? I only know Lisa from her MANY clips and her RL gossip aside that I heard...she looks hilarious. And her shade about that white party...as a Southerner...always gags me. As a STAR WARS fan...her shade on that was always funny. She knew how to go IN. As for the trailer (though I'm still on Episode 2, but tbf it's behind due to RHOA and RHOM on my viewing list), it reminded me of new NY...which I liked but felt the trailer gave very little, too. So maybe...? You remind me that I really need to get back to my RHoMel viewing because I miss me some Gina as well. This, this, ALWAYS THIS. When all of you mentioned her years ago, I was looking forward to seeing THIS Gina. And she has not at all disappointed me. And when I think of the MVP of RHs, I soooo think of her as well. And that's another thing I loved about RHoMel. They really do hang out outside of the show. I LOVE seeing Gina with Gamble and Pettiflueur a few months ago dancing to Kylie Minogue's PADAM PADAM.

And speaking of moves... WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A NEW RHoSyndey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen. lol. Perhaps it is because like La Dame over on RHOP, Fabulous Ice is in on the joke and plays to it. I do agree that I feel Monica will get the hang of it in time. I admit that given she's been trying to crawl onto the show for two seasons, it does feel odd to not see Angie H.

Oh...?

IKR! I want to see more of that dynamic.

9-15 Yeah, I really was not feeling those Tucker/Ashley flashbacks. I would have rather they kept a mystery of 'where is Ashley?' going on.

Mamie AND Danny back next week!??????????? YES, PLEASE.

Hahahahaha

Yeeeah anything to make RSW relevant.

Thank you!!!

Something else I enjoyed this week. So good to see more of Esther now that she's running Crimson Lights for Sharon. I hope not tbh. Because if she does get preggers, it just feels like such an elephant in the room with her lost baby by Noah.

Hehe. And now that my system appears to be working, I've been keeping up with Y&R again and Nate, Tucker, AND Daniel have all been shirtless. NO complaints.

9-14 Wow. Quite a few things going on that I am actually liking. First of all, let me shake my head. What was the point of doing all this buildup with Tucker/Ashley and getting invested...only for him to fall back into bed with Audra again...who is still sleeping with Kyle? Another WTD storyline...please no. All that comes out of this storyline (I hope) is a well-timed Ashley Abbot slap. And I can give credit where credit is due. At least they did establishment scenes (with flashbacks) to show Summer having the realization that she has feelings for Chance. And AL as usual did that so well as well. But I'm down for Sharon/Chance/Summer. Anything to keep Sharon on my screen doing something other than coffee. And we all know I'm here for Lily/Daniel/Heather. In fact, I continue to be so happy that Daniel has been around for so long now. Has it been a year yet? I admit that I giggled at Victoria getting demoted. Which reminds me...loving all the shirtless men on display. Also loving the cameramen getting those back angles right...hehe. Especially since they seem like they are borrowing from your story ideas anyway. Thank you for the clip. And yes, I (and Amber ugh) can tell they have some chemistry. And I'm enjoying them very well. But it also shows why we need more young people. More young and AMBITIOUS people. It's a shame Noah and Allie (and Faith and Moses) are already gone. HAHAHA!!!! Yes, Red stays in court.

9-15 WOW. They are already setting up a mystery with New Girl already. Color me intrigued. Is it wrong that I don't want them to rush this though? I already want to know who the lady was on the other end and hoped it was someone from the past. And here we go!!! Eric vs Ridge!!! I cannot believe how Eric has let this just snowball. And Ridge I was just smh. Go on, Hope!!! Get those clothes off that hot piece of @#$. lol.

SLC A whole A$$ mess. BUT...a FUN mess. Lord, I can't believe that the SLC ladies are going three-for-three on good episodes. The animosity toward Angie K is really fueling this first set of episodes and Production has been on point with the funny. And speaking of funny...MARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I've hollered so many times during this episode. And most of it was because of her. Her comments. Her facial reactions (like when Monica interrupted the 'boring' game to spill her affair tea). And she was keeping everyone straight...INCLUDING her friend Meredith. And we all know good and well I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE for ANY moment that Mary drags Little Girl. And I fell out when Heather gave the sh*t-faced drunk assist a la 'Is Jamal coming' style. Thank God, she's back. Honorable mention: 'I'm not talking to you.' and Mary/Monica shopping...more of that dynamic please. As for the rest... MEREDITH. Wooooow. Well, I keep saying that an engaged Meredith is a DANGEROUS Meredith. And she continues to prove me right!!! Even Fabulous Ice looked scared when Meredith started dropping tea on Angie K's husband. Uh oh now. But see? The rivalry between Meredith and Angie K continues to give more and more. Moreso than a rivalry between Meredith and Fabulous Ice actually. I want to see where it will go. LISA. Speaking of seeing where a rivalry goes, YES to Fabulous Ice vs Monica. Just the brief moment of it at the dinner...THAT'S how it's done. Monica was coming from a good place, but it was clear that Lisa was getting offended and defensive about it. And you just know that it might continue to stay left because as Monica said in the first episode...Fabulous Ice is all about Fabulous Ice. That said...thank you, Production, for the rollback on the multiple times Fabulous Ice mentioned that ring. HEATHER. I had mixed feelings on her this week. She is just soooo jealous over clear high school/college kid trauma. First with Fabulous Ice. Even with Little Girl at times. And now with Angie K. I was just rme at her for her clear jealousy. On the other hand, Heather was actual a fun hot mess this week and I was loving it. Her giggle during Meredith vs Angie K....GUUURL ME!!! Her commentary was just as funny as Mary (her 'oh, s^it' at the beginning of the episode was ALSO ME). And her assist in Mary's dragging of Little Girl was Chef's kiss. God, she was fun. Except for the vomit, of course. ANGIE K. Over her being victim this week. You can't sit there and throw out quips over the host ignoring you when you WERE NOT INVITED IN THE FIRST PLACE, TRICK!!!! And then she KEPT throwing potshots. And THEN she started mess with Meredith at dinner and wondered why Meredith got into it with her after spending the day paying her dust for the most part. Whatever, girl. At least she gave good Confessional looks, I guess. MONICA. Looooooooooove her. She continues to be a fun addition. From her commentary to her standing up for herself with Angie K (who WAS talking behind her back...some friend) to her dynamic with Mary (more please!!!) to her vs Fabulous Ice. Monica just keeps giving. And her totally derailing the 'boring' game with her affair tea was great. LITTLE GIRL. DRAG HER AGAIN, MARY!!! DRAG HER FOR ME!!! AH!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Little Girl has gotten away for too long without anyone holding her accountable. And you know who used to do that...MARY. So to see Mary drag her transparent a$$ again was a thing of beauty. And still hollering over S&it Faced Heather with the assist. It is so clear what WHitLittle Girl is doing that it's shocking no one sees it. But I guess I can give her soooome credit...she's slowly turning into the Ashley Darby of this branch of Housewives. But how much is she an Ashley? I guess we will find out next week when she does the unthinkable...comes for MARY. Overall...that was a great episode and I cannot believe how good this show has been after that lackluster last season. See what happens when Production doesn't play favorites? Not at all. They need to do something different.

Yeah, it's been still enjoyable. But it's been when they focus on what made RHOA good...organic life with fun shade and SOME rivalry. Drew vs Kandi was quite organic even though it had to do with a dead storyline and then you had individual scenes mixed in with some sitdowns climaxing at an event worth noting (10 years of Bedroom Kandi) and WITH cameos (Latoya, 50 Cynt, TS Madison) that fit right in...touching on the world they live in...ALTANTA. Lord...these women...

Ooooo thank you!!! How was it?

You did say you wanted Heather to be an obstacle for Daniel/Lily and wanted a triangle to slooowwwly build. I believe last week she announced she's staying in town and I loved the scenes I just watched between the two of them today. But VB is gorgeous lol. I loved that red on her. Speaking of red, of course Giggly Heffa is trying to manipulate.

VIVIAN!!!! Have she and Kate shared any scenes yet?
