Taoboi

I want to say it's been renovated at least once. Hmmm before KA came back or post it? He has the booty for it. lol. I would have kept him as a cop though.

SLC So the other day, it was RHOP. And now...it's SLC's turn. But a little tea... It sounds like their reunion was one for the books. I'm definitely curious to see the fallout. Mary mentioned in her Teddi Terri Dimarco interview that everyone was against Monica, but Mary had her back. Which of course means Mary is at the reunion!!! lol. But also...that picture above with Mary makes me wonder about her status as well as Monica's status with Meredith. It appears there was an edited out part of the Mary/Little Girl dinner and Little Girl did eventually apologize to her so they might have made up?? I think that is true because there are pictures of Mary with Little Girl. I don't know how I feel about that. But I am happy to see all of these pictures of Mary interacting with people (like even with Kyle from BH of all people). Things that make you go hmmm. As for the season...I'm up to this past week's episode and...I'm still liking it. It has definitely mellowed from the start of the season. I haven't minded it much. It has been like a nice calm before the storm that will be their cast trip (which is the last four episodes apparently). It definitely has allowed for more family scenes for the ladies...for better or for worse. But...the focal point has been Monica. Well, the feud between Lisa and Monica. What has started as a petty feud (Lisa losing the ring) to a feud with some substance (is Lisa too materialistic that she's self-absorbed/is Monica just jealous of Lisa's money) has saddened into silly, not nice high school drama and trying to ice Monica out. And I don't like it. Monica, for me, has been a breath of fresh air. And the fact that she has Lisa's number and calls it CONSISTENTLY has Lisa pressed as heck. That was clear at the sound bowl event. Something that happened because Lisa was jealous that Monica did and has done since the season started...Monica can own up to when she's wrong and apologize so she mended her friendship with Angie K. Lisa clearly sees Angie K as a minion so she was butt hurt and causing a scene. A scene she started that Monica FINISHED. And that was clear again at the Churning. Heather played peacemaker and Monica was game. And she did apologize. But Lisa started it again. Not that Heather helped with that pointed game. And Lisa did not need to say it the way she said it and not expect Monica to defend herself. Monica keeps Lisa TRIGGERED. Last time I mentioned SLC, I explained why I liked Lisa aka Fabulous Ice. I was happy she found a balance between the two persona she showed on this show. But playing catch-up, I'm very NO. I would rather see her being Fabulous Ice. I have been enjoying the drama with her son and his mission and how it makes the other cast members feel as well as how it humanizes Lisa herself in a way. Because right now, she AIN'T Fabulous Ice. And if anything she's acting like Jen Shah with all of those outbursts she has been having and getting in people's faces constantly. Lisa has deluded herself into thinking she's the Queen of SLC (when we all know it's Meredith ) and the truth is that is not the case. Worse, an upstart is upstaging her so she has no choice but an ice out. Good luck with that. As for how the ladies are looking going into the cast trip... MEREDITH. After a roaring start with the rivalry with Angie K, she has taken a backseat to Lisa vs Monica. If anything I felt she's been giving comic relief with the middle parts of the seasons. Her dynamic with Seth (mmmm Seth) continues to be quirky fun to watch. The scene with her trying to set up (and failing) her podcast. Bath continues to be a running joke. And her at the Churning was a hoot. And her friendship with Lisa is back on track. She has been being a housewife at least. Best of all...none of it avoided her son. HEATHER. Well, I can say this much...her latest book event was soooo her. Lisa singing (that Monica shaded). The choir from last season. Heather bringing her humor. That said...it just looks like she's throwing anything at the wall to see what sticks this season. It's clear she is not the fan favorite anymore. Either that, or she is really just boring. At least she is still giving scenes with her daughters. But...she's too insecure. Talking about Lisa's son's mission in one breath and then getting upset Lisa has not involved her in any part of it in another breath. Being such a Pick Me for Lisa's attention still...and that was clear at the Churning. Just ugh. LITTLE GIRL. Could the wind be turning? Could I actually LIKE Little Girl? Uhhhh...NO. But I thought it was interesting during Meredith's podcast that worked that Little Girl came across as someone that was looking for Husband Number 3. Poor Justin. Like Heather, she also appears to be throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. So while all this marriage drama appears fake, Justin's feelings about it do not appear fake. So...things that make one goes hmmm. And we know I live for any moment where Mary drags Little Girl...whether it was edited or not. ANGIE K. Someone says around the Sound Bowl event, Angie K must have found out she got a snowflake due to the fact she calmed down. I happen to believe them. In the middle of the season, she has only had ONE scene with Meredith directly. Other than that, Meredith and she do not acknowledge each other Almost like the first third of the season hasn't happened. But the thing is...she continues to give. The middle person in the Lisa/Monica feud has given insight for sure on who she is. And her little date night with her FOINE husband also explained things a little more...as well as brought up more questions for me about them. So she has grown on me. LISA. I just can't defend her in this feud with Monica. I could understand at the beginning when it was still a petty feud. Now? Nope. At the skating rink, she was too nosy. At the Sound Bowl event, it was her that started from the moment she walked in. And then on top of that, she pulled from Jen Shah's playbook and tried to step up to Monica's face like she was an ATL housewife named Porsha. Girl, NO. And then using Heather's game at the Churning to verbally attack Monica and thought she was not going to get some blowback. After Monica gathered her all the way together (Monica's intelligently sounding and worded mini-monologue on streetsmarts was GOLD, Monica's intimation of Lisa is hilarious) at the Sound event. When Monica called her out at the skating rink. I mean...why try when you can't keep up verbally with someone who can also keep up with you physically? She has been nasty. And self-absorbed in a not fun HW way. Even the mission storyline is starting to fall flat in humanizing her. Monica might be jealous of Lisa for having money, but I feel Lisa is jealous that Monica can get attention just by being...herself. MONICA. THE STAR. Watching Monica have drama with her mom...AND made her walk home. Watch Monica with fun confessionals. Watch (and LOVE) Monica around Mary. Watch Monica gather Lisa effortlessly. I just been loving Monica. I am worried knowing that the last episodes are on the cast trip. And the cast trip sounds like it will be a gang-up on Monica. If the Churning is a sign...well... So...still enjoying this season. But it has not been 'all fire go' like it has been since the start though. HOWEVER definitely a bounce back from that awful Season 3. Monica is totally giving Season 5 Kenya on RHOA. And Mary...is still love.

It's been a minute since I've seen a DAYS promo and YT works for me so thank you for that. Well...HELLLLLLLLL-HO, Johnny. Wavy shoulder-length hair works for him. Cuz WOOF!!! I hope Nicole makes to do a Sami-style slap if that isn't a fantasy sequence.

It looked so scandalous when I watched. I can't wait!!! Julianne Moore definitely knows how to play evil well.

As it should be. Most of us here do a wait period, use spoiler tags (those who know how ), or do vagueness. But we also keep in mind that a discussion thread is just that. A discussion thread. For example, just now watching the 27th, but I have some idea the reveal is this week and what it sounds like it entails, but I still want to see the how, why, and reveal of it all. Since I know what the reveal entails, I don't mind seeing what people think on the discussion thread since I am sure as of when I posted said thread Nov 30th, it had been seen by everyone BUT me cuz we know I take forever to watch my soaps. I am happy to see that I'm actually caught up on all of them to this week BUT DAYS but I don't have access so I wouldn't be. In any case...it's all good.

While I'm here...I don't like that RJ hijacked the story that should have been for Thomas with Zende. Is Zende even in the same age group with RJ? That said...Zende giving off Maya vibes pre-transgender reveal a la schemer...I don't mind at all.

Well to be fair...it's a given that there would be a reveal so that is NOT at all a spoiler. And anyone that knows me here knows that I loathe being spoiled. And even when I am spoiled, I stay vague. Thus, I ain't talking specifics. Heck, I don't know the specifics cuz...what was it I say about not wanting to be spoiled?

RHOP Now that I have something like a few minutes...lol. I hope everyone is well. There has been a lot going on good and bad, but I felt I needed a bit of a break. Which for me meant soaps and housewives. LOL!!! I'm not caught up on any shows (sorry, RHOM, but I love you. ) but RHOP. And from what I can tell online, I appear to be in the minority because I've been liking it so far. Granted M2M has been hitting it out of the gate from Episode 1, but I don't mind RHOP being a little bit slower. Moreso because they did have some fallout to deal with. Thank you, Robyn Juan's Roommate. Perhaps that's why I like it. I wanted to see Robyn punished for her lying, deflecting, and all around ditziness over Juan. And the fact that the cast AND Production have taken every...and I do mean EVERY...opportunity to clown, drag, and laugh at her is just what she deserves. Moreso because she NEEDS the money so she will film. And apparently...so will Juan now that he's jobless...a fact that EVERYONE has picked up on and picked on him and rightfully so. And then there's the fallout from Gizelle vs Candiace...and how it has divided the group. Similarly to what I said about RHOA (which I also need to finish), the group is now divided into two groups it seems. And while I love this past Sunday's episode because it was giving the Reasonably Shady episode, I know they cannot keep doing what they are doing by just ignoring each other or not showing up. So God bless La Dame for being the fence that everyone has to ride...hehe...and trying to get them together. Who knew La Dame could be such a mini producer a la Kyle/Gizelle/etc. But...not vicious. But that brings me to the nasty-ness of New Girl (who I don't like) vs Wendy. At first I liked it because it appeared to be going in the direction of a petty feud...a staple on good Housewives seasons. And the fact that Ashley was the one who started it? CLOCK IN, GIRL!!! That house ain't going to pay for itself. However, this past Sunday it appears like it's going to get nasty by throwing Wendy's mama into it...and cultural information that I'm not familiar with but am STILL sensitive to as a person...so seeing someone use it can be a slippery slope. And online already appears to be up in arms about it. But...I'll wait and see. As for the ladies....to me... LA DAME. If anyone has the memo, it's La Dame. I have laughed at her shading at the Roommate. I have hollered at her little side-plot with Messy Mia. But at the same time, she knows this group cannot stay divided. And the best way to get people together (and help herself from people saying she does not seem engaged) was to get busy. She's had group events. One on one scenes. Mini group scenes. She has been everywhere and been EVERYTHING. GIZELLE. Making her daughters her storyline? I love Gizelle's daughters so I don't mind. And it's something that gives us something REAL. Who can't relate to the kids growing up...and we have watched them grow up on this show...and head to college. It resonates. And I...and yes, I'm saying it...liked that she has not at all IMHO softballed on talking about Juan and Roommate. She actually appears to be being a friend and trying to get Roommate to open her eyes to who she's with. But...alas. And I will always live for Wendy giving her dust. ROBYN. ROOMMATE. I never thought I would see the day that I feel a dislike for a Housewife even moreso than Teddi Terri Demarco, but here we are. Or maybe that is still too soon for me because I can still feel pity for her since we know the history, but this co-dependency is just smh. And she just seems so ditzy. Has Juan really gaslighted her this much? Well...not too much if she can go and sit with New Girl and start mess, but Heaven forbid someone aims mess back at her. As Ex Soap Opera Star would say...she needs to own it. CANDIACE. Well, I always wanted Candiace focused on her career. And we are getting that. But she's been very light this year. So far. lol. Looks like she's back next week. ASHLEY. Smh. Still lying. BUT she's back to stirring the pot. And it's not bugging me like it did pre-pregancy. But we will see. WENDY. Still the target? smh. I did get a hoot out of the fact that she timed her show premiere to that episode. So...using the platform like Candiace has been. I've been enjoying watching her so far. MIA. We know I'm a Messy Mia fan. So I am happy to see her back. Just to see the fallout of her and G losing the company. And I know for sure she will give comic relief. NEW GIRL. LINT. Okay, I take it back...I saw how she treated her husband and I thought of Dr. Simone at that S5(?) M2M reunion with her warning to the husband.

Well...I thought it was interesting for sure this year. But...what did you all think of the soaps this sweeps? A B C D Oblivion?? DISCUSS!!!

DISCUSS!!!

I admit when I saw this...I at first did say FINALLY!!! NOW don't even come back at another character. LOL!!! That said...as I play catch up, I don't know who has been writing...and I WILL be talking about it as a later date cuz I've been enjoying the beginnings, middles, and most importantly endings to a lot of the stories since the strike was on its way and now it seems the writers are learning to shift stories, but still keep them with B, M, and Es...but I was actually enjoying how Austin was written now. Though it's a shame with the resurgence of all those Qs in the house, they couldn't play with that a little bit more. Oh, well.

Since I've been busy and not around and DID at least see his appearance at the end of last week's episode before Thanksgiving... ...FINALLY!!! I've always wondered if Cole would EVER come back into play. So I am intrigued to see what they do with him. But I've enjoyed all the returns for this anniversary year.

Well...it looks like the cat is out of the bag...but I haven't watched this week yet so I will be curious to see what people think of the reveal. DISCUSS!!!

Well Dom STAYS working.

11-3 'Bring it.' YOU BETTA LET SHEILA KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, STEFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just keep in mind, Steffy...it's SHEILA!!! Don't go anywhere alone. Or at least...stay on ready. That said...I liked the fashion show. Those montages they have been doing for Eric does show how much they had to cut back, but I thought it was something different with the Hope(?) voiceover. I even liked all the humor with Charlie/Esther and Countess/Esther. I thought the dresses were to die for. And did I peek a RJ/Luna/Zende/Paris thing going on? Cuz I'm not even sure they are in the same age range for it. And I still feel that if Zende is going to have a rivalry, it should be with Thomas. RJ/Luna already have enough drama for now from Li. I know that I wanted to shake both Eric and Ridge. Ridge especially. He was so insufferable before someone told him his dad was dying. No wonder Dollar Bill calls him the Dressmaker...he was being extra AF. lol. I like that while they followed and built up to the fashion show, the writers found ways to have a lot going on. I also like they are starting into several stories still post-show. And LOVE that I was right about Steffy returning at the tail end. Trivia note...Finn was looking like a whole a$$ snack in Steffy return scenes. Just mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

First of all this Billy/Kyle rivalry is putting the YOUNG back in Young and the Restless. Second of all...I wanted to say this before but watching it play out so are we going to have Ashley be Tucker and Tucker be Ashley now that she's back in town. As in they switched roles in the storyline. Cuz it was Tucker coming after Ashley and Ashley making him prove himself and getting the upper hand on him along the way before falling for him. Cuz...meh. Though I love their chemistry. And now...11-2... ...and I LIKED it. But what stands out for me was really all the camera angles through out. Highlights was Christine and Phyllis in the park and how they were angled in such a different way than they usually are. And then the end when Phyllis asks Danny out for dinner, and the camera swoops in on Christine's entrance. And if looks could kill look on Phyllis. And the flashbacks worked for me because I see big hair Cricket and giggle a bit since I was not around or old enough to watch. And every Phyllis vs Christine flashback was GOLD. I used to like their scenes like that. And it goes without saying the writing was better because they both went IN. Now if they are going to get scenes like THAT, I would be down for the Phyllis/Danny/Christine triangle coming back...which is where it appears to be going...

Now why am I catching a stray? Seriously though...as the person here that coined said phrase, I do not mind re-explaining said name...though I agree with you that from Season 2 on (and I'm sure I said it often during Season 2 until now) why she got that phrase. From Episode 1, I dubbed her that because she was what EricFake on BH wishes she was...RICHHHH and most importantly ICY. I will at least give EricFake that does come across as inherently cold (c) PK, it was always clear that she really did care about what others thought of her. Lisa...at least back then...did not at all and played ice well. And anyone in charge of Sundance was going to have money. She really was not overacting during Season 1, though she was self absorbed. I would say the turning point was the Season 1 reunion and the slow cracks between her and Meredith in their friendship. Because in Season 2, she seem like a different beast...and IMHO not a good one. I pretty sure I used to pick on that all the time. Whiny. Waaaay overdramatic. etc. Everything you said she was about with Monica and definitely so far this season when she is activated...I am two episodes behind so I will verify later, but I do trust your judgment. Lisa has been so inconsistent in the last two seasons for me that I always point out when I talk about an episode when she's being 'Fabulous Ice.' So far, this season, even I have noticed that I call her more Lisa than I call her that. Because she...again, I am two episodes behind...has come across different again. Not quite Fabulous Ice, but not the overdramatic harpy she's been the last two seasons. It also helps that her story with her son humanizes her. But her with her kids have always done that over the last three seasons. But this mission thing is new. Fresh. So she's getting some depth. That said...this difference...makes the rivalry between her and Monica going on so good. It is something different to play off the seriousness of her son drama and also it is a fun petty feud, but I see both sides...well so far. And I do feel there's projection going on on BOTH sides on top of that. Now keep in mind, that is my opinion here. I am aware other people on social media have taken Lisa as all of these things and just stan. But just like with La Dame, I think we know the difference between me just loving and defending passionately a housewife I like and know I don't stan. And I do call out my favorites (*cough*LuAnn*cough*) when I think they do bad or is a bad look rather than follow blindly. So I definitely don't want to be attached to the real of the social media circus that call Lisa QUUWEEEN. But I am simply explaining the origins of the nickname and why I feel she has grown (somewhat, but not completely) away from it.

Oooooo heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!!! lol. Between you doing this...a woman on Twitter who is binging it for the very first time as well...and now this morning a clothes debate on Twitter between her and Gina Torres's character on SUITS...I'm living!!! I might just rewatch as well. lol.

Based off of Season 1 reunion, I expected Ayan and Sara to get into it. I'm sorry to say it now, but Sara is giving fake or doing the HW no-no...not being transparent. Most of this fight has already been posted (spoiler alert-it ends the episode where Sara did get some good shade in) and it just feels like Sara is lording her status over others. That said...as long as it's a petty feud...cuz this is all over BEYONCE (and I love how RHOM that scene looks)...to offbalance the REAL feud between Lesa and everyone...so secret that EVERYONE is talking about it...I'm down. Have you seen the breathtaking confessionals yet?

DUBAI SO it REALLY IS looking like Lesa and Chanel fell out. So was Season 2 a takedown season of Lesa then because she fell there by private jet (thanks hubby) and is not interacting with anyone, but promoting the second season. And new HW Taleen...

AMEN. Well tbf, they all on all shows STILL do. We just don't see all of it on screen. Like until recently, you could always count on Kyle to be hanging with Faye somewhere and posting a picture, Kandi and her mulitiple friends all over the world, etc. And lest's not forget Garcelle's scene with HER friend group two seasons back. If anything ....unlike Jennifer Tilly who I love seeing and hate when Production cut out her scenes...most RL friends appear to not want to film. Emphasis on appear. And then there's the groups where they ARE geniune friends on AND off screen, but that's another talk I believe.

RHOM Stays winning! CONGRATS!!!

RHOM That was a pretty great finale. But this whole season has been worth the wait for me. They get along. They fight. They get over it...usually. And through it all, they do act like a group of REAL friends. And that cast trip...HELL TO THE NO on that gang-up on Adriana. Like Nicole, I could see both sides of that. Adriana never should have used Frankie as an example though she was not trying to be malicious with her saying it. Just her doing a foot in mouth. If anything, I thought the fact that Marysol was (and continued) to run with that to get Adriana booted was telling. Not to mention high-school-ish. On the other hand, Adriana's feelings are valid. Marysol/Alexia get together and act like mean girls, invalidating any closeness the other girls they get close to bring. And with Lisa busy with her Lenny drama, Adriana is odd woman out. And she was feeling lonely...moreso knowing that tea she dropped about her personal life aka ailmony. And they just ignore her cuz ADRIANA. As if they ALL are overdramatic in Las Cubas. Adriana did not help her case though with the toe drama. So the finale was about the icing out of Adriana...proving how important she is btw...and about Lisa's drama. And ooooh at her MiL turning her back on her. Sad to see since it took years to get those two on the same page. And now Lisa lost an ally. And the fact her and Lenny were still fighting in the closing scene of the finale. smh. Which was another thing I loved about the finale. Most HW shows do catch up on all the storylines from the season. However, production can be dicey on story flow so viewers forget about some stories that get dropped midseason or ends quickly. I liked that I felt all the storylines brought up was something that carried throughout all (or the majority) of the season. It just felt...coherent...if it makes sense. Like an actual telenovela which has a beginning, middle, AND an end. That said...Marysol is DEAD to me and I will drag her skinny butt like I do Teddi Terri cuz she was disgusting. And I kept getting the sense that Alexia would have already gotten over it if it was not for her. PS. Loved how up to the minute the closing notes were. Because I feel we were just finding out about Marcus Jordan, Martina and the cancer, the restraining order against Lisa dropped, etc. post filming. Props to the Production being on point. Off to the reunion...

RHOM I'm not going to lie. I'm getting so nervous. lol. The premiere is tonight and I'm on Episode 14...and have a reunion to go. Yay!!! For me!!! I love my HW telenovela show!!!! And so much has been going on as I've been binging. The whole mess of Lisa's marriage falling apart and watching it unfold (and still unfolding given what I posted a few pages back) has been real AND chilling. On wow at him going to the press first with that girl. But him telling Lisa something else. And THEN he had the audacity to want to have Lisa go shopping for him. And then he took the trainer...and he's trying to take the house. And how the kids are being affected and Lenny DOESN'T CARE??? Ugh. I respect Lisa for putting it all out there. Then there is the fall of Alexia. WOW!!! You all mentioned it and I've seen clips, but watching it has been eye opening. Her vs Juila about her comments. Her getting like a dog with a bone with Adriana's man...and then it turned out that he not only OWNED her...but that whole mess was because she did not go down her phone screen completely....GUUUURLLL!!! And then her rivalry with Nicole...oooooh the AmEx scene with little violin was EVERYTHING!!! That dinner scene was easily one of my favorite scenes of the season due to everyone confronting her basis on her attitude. And Alexia....COULD...NOT...DEAL. And just when you thought it was over...Alexia's life hits again with the appearance of the Cocaine Cowboy himself...HER EX-HUSBAND. I knew it was coming and STILL fell out. smh. I have made it to the start of the cast trip so I admit I liked that Adriana was finally able to talk to Alexia woman to woman to try to clear the air between them. And sadly it was ruined by Marysol...proving Adriana's point. Outside of that, I love that so many individual stories to take in around all the mess. And I feel invested. Julia trying to find time to love with Martina and still do how her heart feels by dealing with her being an empty nester felt real. And I'm happy that she is trying adoption. Guerdy's foine husband talking to her about work/life balance, something that as a single black man post-spiritual breakup (don't ask), has been on my mind as of late. And I love watching trying to navigate that. Adriana is always going to be fun messy for me so her shade is fun to watch cuz 'we are 50 and old and our vision do be going' took me out at the dinner. #doublehomicide Then we have Larsa and Nicole (especially Dr. Nicole) showing off how rich they are. Nicole's dad drama still be popping up...though he was a hoot at her engagement party with Marysol. So fingers crossed I finished this cast trip. That said... ALEXIA. The fall from grace was real. Dr. Nicole clowned her every which way but loose. AND showed class by even apologizing for doing NOTHING. And her and Todd double-teaming Dr. Nicole and Anthony was such a bad look. Season 4 definitely went to her head and shows. And just when I want to write her off, I was reminded of her potential as the telenovela queen by the appearance of her ex-husband. Just ooooo...stuff staying happening to her. And you want to see what happens next. That said...I can see why Adriana would think that Alexia/Marysol are bad influences on each other...and that plays into the whole group history which I love. LARSA. Has stayed working for that mojoto. She pot stirred that whole drama with that rumor (and no receipts) that led to Nicole vs Alexia/Marysol at the lawyer party. GUERDY. And THAT is what a relationship looks like. Honest communication. I loved every minute of it, too. And then watching Guerdy work on it while still being herself. JULIA. Speaking of awwww, I continue to like watching her relationship with Martina as well. And seeing her struggle with the empty nest and now adoption. And I loved that she went to Guerdy about the news. Real female friendship. LISA. Just wow. I still feel that she deluded herself into thinking she and Lenny would work it out so it is hitting harder. But she put her from the wringer. And the drama with her kids. Her son not knowing how to feel. And her daughter slapping her. Oooooo...real stuff. I was just as shocked as she was. And yes, my mom would have put me in the corner AND a spanking. NICOLE. lol. So like last season. She started off so slow burn...and then WAS the drama. And this set of episodes...WOW. She took on all those OGS and WON!!! And the Black AmEx. The little violin. The checking of Larsa. They were pressssssssed. I think I love me some Dr. Nicole. But I've loved her since she arrived at the party on a boat. And she still brings drama through her family. MARYSOL. From making a good comeback, like her BFF, she really has gotten tired, too. ADRIANA. Queen. And yes, she's extra, but she's always been extra. lol. I don't care. At least for all the extra-ness, there are moments where her human side comes out. I can't say that for some of the others. But...let's march on to the finale now... Hehe. Welcome.

Heheh. Can't wait. I saw that clip and Mary had me at 'Watch me leave.' LOVE.
