Taoboi

Mmmmm scruff. Taste.

Thank you for this. I was literally just reading it and thought if anyone had posted it here. I cannot believe it's been 10 years and seeing where everyone is at. And how people are now re-discovering the show over the last year. Season 2 is also currently being binged. hehe.

@Gray Bunny I believe next upped will be NJ. To my knowledge...ALONE. ETA: Since I've been very blink and miss with appearances this week due to schedule...it seems online that the Monica story is FAR from over. Ho--I mean Heather's victory lap all over various media not helping. Like THIS: Meanwhile...Dorit appears to be getting major backlash for her child bride comment from this week's episode, too?

Wow. That is sad to hear. I always wondered how she would do as a HW.

As I am sitting here formatting, THIS is some news. Patrick??? WOW. And Korte knows her history so I'm looking forward to it.

OMG!!! Wooooow!!! Patrick is such a GET. So...in.

OC Because I know we all love us some OC. Where there is smoke...

SLC And ahead of tonight's reunion and the wine I'll be having with it...I figured I should give my thoughts on last week's part. Because what I found interesting about it and I didn't want the point to be lost...was Mary's talk to Little Girl. I've seen brief parts of the Gracelle/Dorit sit-down/controversy on BH online so I could not help, but think of it when Mary was articulating herself to Little Girl about race and why Mary said what she said. I also thought it was VERY telling that for all the dragging that Mary does on Heather and Little Girl, that BOTH of them had her back when she said that Mormonism has its roots in racism...something Lisa was denying, but as people whom very lives were raised on Mormonism Bad Weather's words actually have more weight. Just...telling. People want to say that Mary is this and Mary is that. She IS. But the thing about Mary is that she simply treat people the way she does off of her own interactions with people, not just want people say about them. Thankfully, Mary actually does seem to be a good judge of character at least within this group. That said...Part 2 was basically the Mary Hour so you know I was here for it. Her talk with Little Girl (with Andy potstirring just a little bit cuz we all know Mary be dragging Little Girl every chance she gets), her vs Heather (and all Monica's reaction shots), and her vs More and More Irrelevant Lisa...who kept jumping into everyone's conversations to just be noticed. And of course, we got the ole Mary comedy with her on ready with Angie K...only to find out that she kinda likes Angie K. lol. Outside of that, the only interesting thing was Monica. And that unseen footage of her falling down the stairs. I was LOL! She held her own, but it is starting to look like bullying to me which I did not like. I definitely feel the love for me is gone with Lisa. And I feel Heather is going to be my new Teddi Teri Demarco because I really cannot stand her and it showed for me. All those little under breath catty remarks she kept making. I lived for Mary dressing her down. I also giggled at Meredith potstirring just a little bit with the lawyer advice to Monica about Angie K's stairs.

Well now, Andy on WWHL to Heather's face...and Production online have said that Monica is 'on break.'

1-9 Well...I've finally arrived at Bobbie Week. And I'm not sure that I'm ready for it yet at all. I have loved that the news was spread gradually. You know just like in a town...or a soap. And I've been loving all the Lucas mentions. I know I will gasp when he shows up. So many of the vets have been blowing me away as they have found out. And the flashbacks have me in my feels. I think my favorite scene to date has been Carly (let me say now LW has been knocking it out of the park since the phone call...giving me echos of my own paternal loss as well as The Body episode of BUFFY) and Liz at Kelly's. We don't get nearly enough scenes of those frenemies anymore and even I forgot for a sec that Liz used to always work at Kelly's so she WOULD know little things like that. I also like that the storyline ball has really been rolling since the post-Xmas episodes. Almost like now that the writers knew of JZ's passing, they wanted to give it its proper due while softening the blow by having other things going on. Or in my case, storylines having a turn (Esme getting her memory back, the attempt to out Cody's secret by Felicia, Nik's return, Nina exposed by Lois...who clearly had the best comeback this past year) or just climax (Nina snitching on Carly, Alexis/Gregory kiss, Good-bye to 'the Beast'). And I've found it all well done.

1-12 Is it wrong that I've disappointed at how I was excited for a second in the cleverness of roping Lauren into Nikki's drinking...only to be reminded the next episode Nikki has New Guy Oscar. Lol. I was already spending storyline possibilities in my head. smh. I should have known better. Overall, I thought this was a pretty decent week. I agree with who said it a page or so back about how Nate still is connected to Victoria somewhat (...but where have the Winters gone?). Not an easy feat given that Cole is back in town. Which speaking of Cole...I loved he had a scene with Ashley. Because refresh my memory...wasn't Cole leaving just as ED reclaimed her role of Ashley from SS? Speaking of Ashley, why are they wrecking her for Tucker? At least they are getting into the possibility of reconciliation between her and Tucker. At least they are talking...well arguing. But this 'is Ashley losing her mind or is Tucker gaslighting?' arc is making me feel this is just...foul. Sadly, I'm not feeling Sally/Adam anymore. And poor Nick.

1-12 Well, that was a pretty good cliffhanger to end on with Thomas telling the whole truth to Hope. I guess it says something for his love that what he didn't tell Finn, he told Hope. I even gasped. All the RJ/Luna/Zende stuff...well...movement at least.

SLC Wait what? So they basically pulled a Mariah Huq on Mary then? Better put some respect on that name then.

I got you, Boo.

BH Well, that's some good tea. THEIR reunion gets filmed next Friday on the 26th.

RHOM Yep. Reunion is done. And seating chart...

RHOM Looks like the reunion is filming today.

He is literally too adorable to be so single.

I'm not, but I saw that clip of Tamra (with side-eye assist from ShebySheBroke and Larsa) and hollered. Politicians have NOTHING on Housewives. And then Shady Phae Phae is there, too...a MESS. lol.

Very much so.

Ah! I see. lol. smh.

Yeah, once I saw the synopsis for the next two episodes, I felt no desire to get to it last night and felt it could be watched later. I AM looking forward to La Dame's event. The thing that made me like her was her very first event with RAINN back in Season 2 I believe. For the first time, she did not put up a front and appeared sincere to me as she talked about her SA...something as I mentioned in the past I resonated with me. I feel this event will be no different. I also see online that they are nicely setting up for Jacqueline's return which I cannot wait to see.

Oh, I saw. But I could have swore that the last time they showed Audra, she was in bed with Kyle and he told her the truth and suggested a power play. So it was just jarring to me. But again, I know there was some episodes I missed on my player...like the one where the Abbotts dropped the Tucker/Audra/Musician dirt...and given the Claire story/Nikki story has gotten the dominant play as of late, I just figured that I missed something.

I agree with you about pairings on soaps. That said...Taylor still had options. Even now. Like for example... Finn's dad Jack. He was supposed to be trying to win Li back. And Li has great chemistry with Bill. But how about Taylor wanting a clean break from Ridge and tried for Jack once he's given up with Li. But Li actually having second thoughts since she sees Poppy with Bill and she wants to work on her marriage. And like you mentioned before Taylor and Bill have history that could be used...not to mention Bill having Li's back. What if Bill decides to try to get in-between Taylor and Jack for Li as only Bill can. Or worse...Bill THEN catches feelings for Taylor himself. Jack/Taylor/Bill/Li writes itself. OR...Deacon/Taylor start hanging around each other again. And that sets Sheila off BIG TIME. Add in Li as a Sheila taunter and that writes itself, too.

lol.
