THIS.

@Soaplovers and I love Candiace for that. It's what I wanted for her...and the direction she was going in at the start of Season 5 before everything went left. She was recording music, lining up acting gigs, and had time to try to make amends with the ladies that season. She was showing growth AND using the show as a platform for better things. The fact that she has showed up for the most part from mid-Miami to now as a voice of reason is quite telling on her growth. Her? Or all people? It is almost shocking. Moreso because while she still has her fire and can still read, she has shown a level of restraint S3 and S4 Candiace never could do and S5 Candiace tried, but usually failed to do. That's nothing new. Ana's been exposing Marysol since Season 3. It hasn't been mentioned here yet. I saw it, but have not had time to listen to it. Yet. I hope someone gags her with this at the reunion...which films TOMORROW. Cuz ewww.

I know that feeling. Same.

Ha!!! Doesn't bold well for the anniversary episodes either.

I admit I am surprised by Danny. Before I thought it was mentioned he would be back at some point this year so I figured for today. I believe everyone upthread mentioned Paul was in town. I'm waiting for the episode to load here so will watch later.

Hehe. Thank you. I've been taking forever to post around my work schedule(s) and I saw it being discussed over the last few months. It's why I'm just now talking about the filler episodes last night before the Mexico trip. lol. And it's funny how Wendy does not seem to be jelling, but yet outside of Candiace, she is all everyone has talked about the first third of the season. And Messy Mia...who is a horrible person...but IS owning it somewhat and still giving a lot so good TV at least. Now no one is touching that level for sure. At least not yet.

Danny was heading to the airport and Chris drove him. But not before they talked at Crimson Lights and there was plenty of good flashbacks. They had a nice vibe of 'woulda, coulda, shoulda', but still caring about each other. Paul was still alive and out of town I think. Great minds...I thought the same thing in the Spoilers thread due to his DAYS connection. And a bad boy. But he suuure was.

Yeah exactly. Being the son of Nikki and with her temperament to boot, Nick could carry a triangle WITHOUT a WTD storyline attached to it. And it was going well because I kinda saw sparks between CH and JM, but I figured they would keep her with Adam who have their own chemistry and they were starting to give them drama rather than Sally being a henchwoman to Adam with no personality. It was an evenly matched triangle. And say what you will about JM, but he gives a great 'I think I'm hip, but we the audience don't think so' father vibe. And who is to say this show which does not have that, doesn't need something familiar? But no to Nick having ANOTHER kid.

@Gray Bunny did I hear that right? Wendy...AND Candiace have grown on you?? Hold on...

POTOMAC La Dame and Candiace might be on the outs...say it isn't so?

Lol. I haven't gotten that far yet, but she definitely has been tainted in my eyes.

Especially now that Lisa and Angie K are dealing with a case of the Jeannie's.

I love SSH from her Julie on DAYS. My exposure to Joanna has been very, very limited because I was a kid when she was on. I've mostly read about her so I always look forward to any and all scenes of her.

Yay! Thank you. Can't wait until tomorrow.

SLC OMG! Who leaked this??????????????

POTOMAC Well remember when I said I would make it back to those 'filler' episodes? Lol. I know it would appear opinion is mixed over this season of POTOMAC. One of the things I know we discussed here often has been no matter how dark a season might be (Season 5 comes to mind), these ladies have always managed to shift the show back into a light place, keeping things moving no matter what. Perhaps it's because there is so much history between the ladies that pre-date the show. Or the fact that now in Season 7 it's about time for contracts to come up, but perhaps things are more heightened than they normally are. Or they could be making up for Season 6 which was light, but a transitional season. In any case, I feel everyone (but Gizelle) are working, but there is A LOT going on. A person could get whiplash. That said, the best seasons do have calm episodes. And just like RHOA used to do before them, the ladies of RHOP have enough personality to carry these kind of episodes, bridging the gap between the Miami trip and the Mexico trip. I...actually didn't even feel like it was like filler episode watching tbh. Were there boring moments...oh yes. lol. What I found interesting however was that it was a case of building blocks. Everything that happened around the 3 episodes following the Miami trip perfectly set up or continued what was either going on (Mia/Jacqueline weird friendship) or setting up what was coming (La Dame vs GEB). And given the chaotic nature of the Miami trip...didn't we all need a break with some light fun? If anything the thing that hold these calm episodes together was the fact that Gizelle FINALLY put in some work. She started to manipulate the cracks in the Mia/Jacqueline friendship. And she continued to stir the pot between Cha Cha and La Dame. Meanwhile, you had Ashley trying to start some mess with the Sesame Street Character (c) Candiace, leading to Mia's comment about how Candiace/Wendy are 8s (keep in mind she didn't like them at this point AND this could be seen as foreshadowing this past Sunday cliffhanger) while SSC is a 4.5. Going into the Mexico trip...everybody for me were like this... LA DAME. Her delusions are always fun. And MATT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. That said...how was Mia mad at her when she was the ONLY one to give her the heads-up that the GEB were coming for her. SMH. And her show...well...the Countess she is not!!! But it was still fun. Meanwhile, the rivalry between her and Robyn was growing. She took every chance she had to shade Juan's roommate in her Confessionals about the wedding. Interesting given some online tea and this past Sunday. GIZELLE. Well, she tried. lol. But who wanted to see or asked for Pastor Holy Wh#re to make an appearance? Thankfully after that lame attempt at a storyline, Gizelle went on to work the cracks between Mia and Jacqueline's friendship. And that wasn't including her trying to bring up her past with Patricia Bailey-Thomas. La Dame was smart enough to see what Gizelle was doing and trying to give a heads-up. So why can't Mia? Heck, Jacqueline even appeared to sense it. And of course, she took over from Robyn a bit to stir the drama between Cha Cha and La Dame. ROBYN. I'm of two minds with her honestly. She's been bringing the mess this season and it sooo echoes for me S7 Cynthia on RHOA. And on first viewing of this past Sunday, that was the first time she held her own with La Dame a la the S7 RHOA reunion showdown with Cyn and Shady Phae Phae. She still lost on first viewing for me. But she was bringing it. That said...she has none of Cynthia's sass from that season. And I did not like that now that she was showing some backbone, she immediately flipflopped back to Gizelle's side rather than keep the truce he had with Wendy going. I was irked. ASHLEY. One thing I can say for Ashley. I have always been surprised, but not surprised that she will ALWAYS find someone to film with even if Michael Darby does not want to film. How many relatives she have? That said, I can also count on Ashley to also be MESSY. And this plot with SSC was a case of that. Good, Candiace basically said CANDIACE. The glowup is real!! lol. Or perhaps it's the fact that Candiace is playing the game VERY well. But she's been fun to watch. In Confessional. She has not really been engaging with the others outside of Wendy at this point. Oh, and that scene with Robyn to clear the air. And La Dame. But she's been focused on her career. As she should be. Using the HW platform to make better for her. Not hating on that. WENDY. is giving nothing but looks. She needed a break from carrying the last few episodes. She was just busy on surgery and her family. And great reaction shots. I stay living how her friendship with Candiace is bringing out the kind of sisterhood we want to see on these shows. MIA. Smh. Second season curse? Because while she is still giving for me, she is coming across horrible as a person. I would hate her, but again...she owned who she is in her tagline. I am just sad she was fooled and continue to be fooled by Gizelle. Not that her friendship with Jacqueline isn't a weird one. And any scene with G...all I kept thinking was...she's broke. Since she appeared to have deactivated her account again online, I can only think they came for her at the reunion. As a calm before the storm that is LA DAME...a good set of episodes. Next time...MEXICO...

I liked him EXCEPT for that. Exactly.

Awww I liked Second Scott (and I loved Blair Redford!!!...go, THE GIFTED!!! hehe...and the catfight between Written-Strong Sharon and Abby. Say what you will about Mal Young, but at least Sharon got her fire back.

Well we discovered that when they announced VB was coming back at Heather. 😜

Hehe. Looking forward to seeing him, Daddy, and Lauren's tribute tomorrow.

That's not surprising given that chemistry test they did with MS. That's just hate sex waiting to happen. And they have been setting up Phyllis to be feeling like Odd Girl Out for a while among the menfolk. Hehe. You saw it, too?

I mean if they were trying to snatch up some DAYS fans with that move, they might as well go the extra yard and get Chandler. Ooo...that's an idea!!!

You know me sooooooooo well. LOVE.

I had to poke fun a little bit. But seriously, IKR!!! It is clear they wanted to capitalize on the actor's DAYS character. More reason to have Chandler pop up as the bf if they were doing to be doing such wink,wink, nodge, nodg-ing though. A waste. Both in actor and character.

I so saw that last night and hollered. Given the timeline some people are wondering if she did that to not have to testify against her roommate due to that lawsuit.
