Oh, I know. It's why I was be so adamant about anything on the Ericole roller coaster.

Exactly!! No matter what actor is playing him, Nikolas has been sitting on the fence between light and dark. And in the last few years he has been going dark, darker, darkest. That writing has definitely been on the wall. I thought it was very telling that Laura made a comment about her time on Cassandine Island that put that in perspective. That was a great scene and Maura played that line to the hilt. That is something I forgot to mention. The fact that while I too do not want Esme to be a heroine, I have to admit the actress is winning me over to her current state...the elusive tabula rasa. The audience is aware of who she is and what she has done, but in her current state, she has a remorse and common sense factor to her that does make her compiling in a way that Esme as vixen did not. One almost (note on ALMOST) do not want her to remember. That said...given SOD's February Sweeps info, it looked like she might be getting aimed at someone she should be aimed at, continuing to prove she should have never came out of that particular bubble of story. Even if the result if true, is typical of her current arc.

Hehe

Picture One. Give me that scruff!!! ;D

John and Marlena for sure. I can say the same for Doug and Julie. Okay, Patch and Kayla, but it is probably because I feel the least attached to them and it's more about the actor/actress who I first saw over on GH. But I grew to love them...and their kids. But growing up yes...I am here for Eric/Nicole, Sami/Lucas. And Brady/Kristen when Kristen was played by ED. Stefan/Gabi before now. Chloe/Brady. Off the top of my head.

2-7 Oh, look...Liz with who she SHOULD be with on the current canvas...even if it was brief nice to see her with Jake. Wait...PORTIA HAS A FAMILY??? Wow. Mind blown. How long has Portia been in town again? Has she mentioned them outside of Trina? And now Stella is MIA, but they found a nice replacement in Laura cuz...LAURA. Nik, Nik, Nik. I enjoyed the crazy eyes he had. But just when you think he cannot get low, he went there with Ava and threatened a child's life. Uh....how does he come back from that...assuming he is no longer living that is. I feel like the Epiphany mention was more a placeholder @dragonflies. At least until they can put together a tribute. BUT I hope I'm not wrong. Taggert is love. Smh. Laura so busy worrying about Nikolas that she's not seeing Spencer fall under Victor's spell. But I do hope she keeps fighting back hard. YOU BETTA DANCE, TRINA!!!! And awww at Spencer walking in. My Sprina heart.

I know I live for my couples on DAYS no matter how short their happiness tend to be under RC.

THIS.

God bless chris evans for sure. He wasn't wrong about TGVN. I think it is as well. I hope that he's well enough and that's why he appears to be popping up more. But Idk. Do you think the contracts at Y&R are like DAYS now where they have a specific amount of episode guarantees? And sometimes that can stop-start some of the stories because the guarantee runs out? So perhaps they are saving up EB's if he has any for the anniversary period? I haven't tried this week yet, but I sooo was not liking most of last week.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Same. That's why I was drooling over the Carter vs Dollar Bill scene right before the Tridge non-wedding because the body language, the subtext, and the dialogue was ALL...THERE.

It really is the gift that keeps on giving. hehe. Oh, I enjoyed every minute of Twitter losing their minds yesterday over Jonathan Majors. Those pictures. And I thought his foine nekkid butt on LOVECRAFT COUNTRY was hot. But...MMMMMMMMMMMMmmm lol. I think I just got...ugh...not dry. *fanning self* I took notice on LOVECRAFT COUNTRY and so excited to see him moving up in things. Cuz he has that swagger. 'I think the three of us need to go and have a talk in a room where there are no others...'

Both good couples nonetheless. Lightning in a bottle.

BH It seems Erika is currently filming in light of the Tom news.

I bet that won't be off topic at that 1-on-1. Andy gonna want ALL that tea.

2-3 WOW. Those Laura, Nikolas, and Spencer scenes. Unlike Y&R lackluster last week going into Sweeps, I did not feel that way with GH. Even at random storylines coming back into play like Ms. Wu and Gladys and this week Brooklyn, Chase, and Blaze story with Linc. But those scenes. GF is always going to be on point. NC was great as Spencer laid the boom on Nikolas. And him (and last week I'll admit this prize went to RH) was looking good in that white buttoned down. AH is still doing great, continuing to embody MC's mannerism. I suspect that he will start doing his own spin once he unleashes that menace that he had on his last sub...which looking at that Friday cliffhanger I feel is coming. But watching him completely allowing Nik to break down was fascinating to watch. And I do like that he immediately had chemistry with Laura...something I didn't see with Liz this time around. But GF has it with everyone. I really loved the scenes between Liz and Tasha Yar. I have made it no secret that I love Liz and those scenes were ABOUT HER. Okay, it was about her finding out what Nik did. But, given the history, seeing Liz and her mother come to some understanding or hint of a growing relationship warms my heart. Okay, I give them some credit. I did like the Joss/Dex scenes where she was talking about her feelings. Less propping and throwing people under the bus. It was just her saying how she felt. Mostly ignored it, but I noticed.

Oh, how I laughed at that. You're not. Some people have been saying the same. And Twitter definitely has been arguing that very point along with the potential return of Mary to SLC given she skipped the second season reunion. It sets a standard and people are going to wonder...especially the housewives themselves. Perhaps he will ask on that one on one.

POTOMAC Now about this Mexico trip...lol. Well...I said I would be back. And just in time for tonight's finale, too. Better late than never. But...I don't know what to say. So much has happened since I viewed the episodes. And I'm sure they would be a ki ki to rewatch. I have not felt...outside of Gizelle's attempt at coming for Chris...this season has been dark. Though with recent revelations, yeah it's now been tainted greatly. It's very much the same situation as SLC where the whole season Jen Shah said she was innocent...only to plead guilty after filming. And that just tainted the whole season because you knew the whole time she was lying through her teeth. Now with Robyn's confession now that the sesason is over...and Gizelle taking a page from the BH's Housewives Book of Deflection...the narrative makes sense now, but...it has ruined the reason. However...without that knowledge...that Mexico trip was a chaotic mess. Mostly in a good way. Those GEB be staying trying to get at La Dame. And they are totally using Cha Cha to do it. So it was good to see La Dame let them know what time it was. And since they started mess, I felt La Dame was in bounds to come after them. Which she did by blowing that bombshell on Robyn. Personally before Robyn's confession, I was of the mind that where there is smoke, there's fire. Look at Juan explode. Look at La Dame (and Wendy) getting disinvited to the bachlorette party. Look at Cha Cha still talking mess when she said she did not care. Care enough to talk mess. The trip also spotlighted the continuing drama between Mia and Jacqueline. And that I have been liking. I find Jacqueline to be a good FOH. It's just sad that Mia is using their friendship to try to be messy. Funny since it seems fans like Jacqueline more than Mia. It just seems so messy and there is more to it. Perhaps even Mia is jealous because it does seem like Jaqueline is making more connections to the group. And I loved Candiace taking her under her wing given they have feuding this season. And finally, I liked that rather than be an isolated incident Mia vs Wendy was brought back up. And that reveal of Mia probably wanting a piece of the Doctor...uh...lol. Well...I can say this much...Messy Mia keeps giving content...for better and for worse. LA DAME. It was a matter of time before Karen left the room and we had to usher in KUUUREEN!!! And THAT was worth the wait. Regardless if it is true or not, these heffas stayed proving her right. She figured Cha Cha would mention the funeral due to her need to chase clout. The fact Cha Cha proved her right is all that matters. Though something else that matters that I know from personal experience don't you dare mention the loss of a parent. Will usually can and will trigger folk no matter how long time has passed. So if La Dame wanted some payback...I was here for that. And she looked like she did by bringing up the Robyn tea. The fact that for all the Blue Eyes deflection, in Confessional people were mentioning it so it just might be true. And it was definitely true when Juan reacted how he reacted. And we know what happened after filming now...La Dame #winning And the fact thye were talking about her at the bachelorette party while La Dame just stayed focused on her business. #stillwinning GIZELLE. Now that I think about it...did she do anything? Is it because Robyn has truly outshined her this season in the messy department...or just the fact that La Dame always shut her down? *shrugs* ROBYN. I wish I could say something nice. I can't. lol. She truly is the diztiest bitca at the table. She's been trying to get Cha Cha back on the show through La Dame and then want to be the one talking about deflection. Her? Really? La Dame has been VERY clear on why she did not want to be friends with Cha Cha all season. So...turnaround is FAIR play. And La Dame got her butt with a dash of typical Karen delusion. Which given the new tea one wonders if La Dame was right about that, too. ASHLEY. lol. If there is one thing Ashley will do, it will be pot stirring. It makes me wonder if La Dame used her to get that Robyn tea out there to everyone...who didn't already know already. I also loved that her and Candiace had a deep and serious conversation about themselves. And Ha! at her again running and getting that Wendy/Mia tea out there, too. Devil works hard, but Ashley works harder. Except on that divorce it seems... CANDIACE. Practically redeemed at this point. Shouldn't this had been her takedown season? And yet she's the one who has been nothing, but common sense and the voice of reason this year. Who would have thought it? The wisest thing she has done was give no air to the rumor, focused (and showed) her life, and showed up only when she is required to...with fun Confessionals as well. And I felt her talk with Ashley on the trip showed her growth. Doesn't at all mean she ain't about to drag Gizelle from one side of the reunion stage to the other though. WENDY. Speaking of growth, look at Ms. Four Degrees!!! From hold those degrees over people to Too Much Wendy to Actual Zen Wendy actually. She was fun on the trip. Those facial expressions with Candiace. Calling Mia out on what her deal with her is...funny since Mia's broke so she would be jealous. And the flirting??? smh. I am just sorry she would even consider anything with Mia given how Mia's been acting. MIA. I cannot help but think about Carlos King's video on YT when it comes to her. Love her or hate her, Messy Mia does give content. Though you can't believe a thing she says, it is STILL better than nothing given how entertaining it is most of the time for me. BUT I don't like how she has destroyed her friendship with Jacqueline in the pursuit of this. I think it is safe to say RHOA Drew she is not. :D Second Two Curse? Even for all her lying, she still has potential if only because we have not dealt with Broke Mia yet. And I want to see where everyone will stand with her on that. Good trip, but by this point, I was ready for the finale AND reunion. So next time...finale...

Moment of truth...

OMFG!!!!!!!!! YASSSSSSS!!!! OH...HELL-HO!!!

Or perhaps they relate too much...and don't like what they are showing.

Hmmmmm YES ON HIM. Just unnecessary Singles Awareness Day mess from someone who isn't like the hottie above...you know a real MAN. This year I've just Faith Lahane them all. Because anyone stepping to me when I've been available for months...doesn't seem or feel genuine to me. PS. Found out after months of growing closer to me that oh, you are seeing someone, but rather than tell me directly, I found out mid conversation I walked into as I was coming over to say good night and head home. Stupid man-child. DAMN CHOCOLATE.

Well...that's where the conflict should be...Jack vs Kyle over Adam.

Awww...they been holding strong this week so I'm sorry to hear that. Omg! Sprina is Sprina. And Vanna...lol...I still cannot believe how well that turned out given the year before I was a strong person against that pairing. But they redeemed Val so well that it made sense a year later.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! You time these too well. Just in from live music, a bar, and some mess.
