Taoboi

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?

It's happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RHOA Well, it looks like I finally get some down time from my jobs. So I finally started to play catch up on this (and RHOM hehe). First of all, I did not realize how close I was to the finale when I had to stop watching. That said...still back in Portugal. And...the RHOP ladies the RHOA gals are NOT. I found the Portgual trip to be pretty basic. Perhaps it's the clear divide between the ladies...and it's not in a cute or funny Talls vs Smalls way, either. The fact that Team Coven Dos (aka Marlo, Sanya Teddi West, ShebySheBroke, Courtney) could not carry the show without Kenya or Kandi being around to bounce off of...at least Team Small could work outside of Team Tall. Same for Team Pretty vs Team Beast (Season 7). So their scenes were just...boring. And no attempt by Courtney The Wannabe to come for Kenya would do. Thank God for Drew and her drama. Whether it was with Kandi...who we all know HATES to be called a liar...or with Marlo, it was the only interesting part of the trip for me. Because the trouble with Ralph grew organic (or not with Marlo and Sheree potstirring) and we knew what was coming. And I loved every minute of Drew holding her own against Marlo and The Coven West Coast. Now Kandi vs Drew...hmmmm...well...it was NOT boring. And it led to an appearance by Latoya...who I was one of the few fans of her from Season 13. And Latoya hit that ground RUNNING. And had Marlo running, too. I miss her and her and Drew's quirky dynamic. And God, I missed Cynthia so seeing her in non-edited-out scenes, was awesome. Looking forward to watching more later. For now... KANDI. Darn it if they ain't making Kandi work for her peach this year. First Courtney. Then Marlo. Now Drew? That said...what was Drew thinking? Granted this is not the first time Drew and Kandi have had issues *cough*Season13*cough*, but it is just funny how deluded Drew was that anyone would believe her over Kandi when Kandi has a history of truthtelling while Drew...doesn't. And lest we forget...Kandi is WORLDWIDE. AKA She knows EVERYONE. So of course, Kandi went directly to Latoya. Of course, Kenya saw. Of course, even Marlo would agree. Wrong road, Drew. And WOW...10 years of Bedroom Kandi...yes, I remember when. I cannot believe how far that has come from the days when Kandi did Kandi Koated Nights. Just...wow. It's kinda inspirational. KENYA. In a way, it was cool to see Kenya activated. I don't like that it was Courtney The Wannabe who did it, but it was done. And while she put up a good fight, Kenya won that one in the end. She should have set there and ate her food. Meanwhile, Kenya was letting Drew know that was not at all her friend. Foreshadowing indeed from what I know now. On the OTHER hand, it should be one of the main girls activating Kenya. This season just proves how disengaged Kenya has become from it all. And I find that sad. Now sad for me though...seeing her and Cynthia make up. I was looking forward to it since they fell out in first season of ALL STAR and it was worth the wait for me. SHEBYSHEBROKE. Honestly? In the two episodes I watched, I continue to see so much potential in her. When Bone Collector Sheree popped up, she was on FIRE. In how she manipulated everything into a Drew vs the table catfight. Even more than Marlo was. And Kenya and Drew were gathering Courtney Wannabe, Sanya Teddi West, and Marlo easily before Sheree ran interference. So loyal...just to the WRONG team. MARLO. Well, I can't say she didn't do anything. That said...her fighting with Drew and throwing Ralph in was something. And then Ralph wanted to get messy by texting her? Just le sigh. That was REAL Marlo. Cuz this other one they keep showing...talking about marriage to the Chef...I was like Guuuuurl, we know you won't marry anyone poor. And then she ran from Latoya? Weak sauce now. SANYA. TEDDI WEST. As a Gemini, I loved every minute of her sister dragging her. Forget the flip flopping and being the calm one of Coven West. The REAL storyline is the continued drama in her family. It's a shame we do not see more of it. DREW. MVP of these episodes. Moreso than Kandi actually. Why? Because watching her unravel has been real and moreso fascinating to watch. So much now that she's getting her friends to have drama with her. Looking forward to seeing this shake out. On another note...there were so many times...while I enjoyed the episodes overall...it just felt like RHOP and I had to smh my head because what works for RHOP DOES NOT at all work with RHOA. Just le sigh. More later...

Hehe at @DramatistDreamer. I swear they are spying on your story about Daniel, Heather, and Lily now. My system has been in and out so I'm sure I've missed a lot of it, but they do appear to be playing it and loving Vail Bloom back and she DOES have a bit of chemistry with MG, too. The last time I regularly viewed Y&R, Daniel and Summer had washed their hands of Phyllis now that she was out. So watching Giggly Heffa ki-king with Summer was RME. I am very happy we are still seeing the Chancellor manison post Ashley/Tucker wedding. Speaking of that...where is Ashley?

9-12 One thing I do like about taking a break from B&B. It moves slow enough that I don't feel like I missed anything. Except apparently hot shirtless men. That said...no matter how jarring it was when it started...I am liking the Eric storyline. As I was playing catch up, I kept thinking it's a shame they wouldn't let Victor on Y&R play a storyline like this. But then again...would EB want to play it? It has gone slow enough and enough beats are being played that I do feel a bit invested. Eric vs Ridge with Ridge's impressive son in the middle? It could have legs AND we get a fashion show. And yes, I love the meet-cute between RJ and New Girl. She gave me shades of Allie over on Y&R. I just hope she does not vanish like she did. I know...wishful thinking. Awww to seeing Katie and Carter. But where did the triangle with Bill go?

OMG!!! No words!!!

I have NO doubt. WHO???

I think the same for you.
