RHOM Another good episode. Pajama parties. Fashion. (Guerdy, Julia, KiKi with her Black Swanque dress when they entered Lisa's penthouse!!!) And there was such juicy drama between Guerdy hoping off on telling Alexia that the venue fell through. They built that up through the episode nicely. And then at the pajama party the Julia/Adriana relationship got a little messy with Lisa playing games. Finally we had Nicole meeting with her dad and immediately seeing he is drunk. I loved how it was all paced and I cannot wait for next week in the Hamptons and we get to Larsa bringing some drama. ALEXIA. I've been so busy that I forgot that I DIDN'T post about Episode 5. I guess work drama really has kept me busy. lol. But I loved the sincere, but still messy drama of Todd vs Peter. I thought his heart was in the right place. However...his delivery...was how I know people take how I talk. HAHAHAHA!!! I prefer straight forwardness though I have finally learned some tact. It was intense and Frankie WAS RIGHT THERE. And I admit that I liked Todd told Alexia how it is...she DOES enable Peter. That she got defensive...well a hit dog will holler. I was happy to see they all made up at the end, but I feel like that will come up again. This episode...I hollered at Alexia turned about sitting on faces with Frankie RIGHT THERE. Overall, she was light in this episode other than the wedding drama. LISA. Messy, messy Lisa. hehe. And God bless her. I hope the rumor that surfaced aren't about her though since I liked Lisa and Lenny during the old days. For now, seeing her spend money for a pajama party. And be game for flirting Julia (and Julia flirting) was a hoot. And oh, the looks Adriana was giving. Girl, why you jealous? *stares* JULIA. It was nice to see more of her. And...I get it. Her light headed personality and openess, that is just her. And even if she is not flirting, it COMES across that way. Such a Gemini thing. lol. But I cannot help, but love her spirit. And goodness know she was good humored and game to play along with Lisa. ADRIANA. I liked that she explained why she is close to Julia. Awwww at her being lonely. BUT...why you jealous? GUERDY. OOOoooo at her not telling Alexia immediately that the venue fell through. It gave the episode a nice plot, and it is relateable. I'm not sure that the news couldn't have waited until after the pajama party though. That should have been a night to have fun. And THEN go back to reality. But alas... NICOLE. Look at Nicole being able to fly off to a restaurant in the world whenever she wanted for a double date with Martina and Julia. #richhunni That her man is the pilot is a bonus. But when her dad said 'how do you know it's only four?' Lord, I gasped. Messy, messy. LARSA. Not much here though I liked seeing more about her daughter. And it looks like she will be in the mess next week. And I'm ready. Good episode. BH Potential Taglines...?

Now hold up now! I missed most of what happened the other day, but let's not be banning the good ones now. We all have occasionally dust-offs with people we have history (coming soon to the GH May thread...jk...kinda). I would like to think we can move forward (and do better if possible) and discussed the awesomeness of Ashley. ETA: Saw above post. I mind my business.

5-4 *gasps* I guess I was not pay attention for a second. And looked up and actually gasped. Donna got Eric back? Since when? Already looking forward to the Quinn/Donna catfight. And does that mean the show will go in a Paris/Carter/Quinn/Eric/Donna quintet? I'm confused. in a good way. lol.

Hahaha!!! It sure did!!! I started doing the monthly thread (when I was not a regular viewer at the times) just because of how funny it was no one did. Perhaps the twist (speculating) has to do with Bridget. Since the current rumor is that she will be involve in story come next month/end of this month. Dare I continue to hope that just as Liam/Steffy give it another go that it is revealed that Bridget and Li somehow saved Finn and no one knows?

Thank you for this. I admit that I've begun to wonder if that was okay in the case of promos since now that I'm regularly watching all the soaps (yes, even DAYS though it's the only one I'm reeeeeeally behind on) I...outside of the Sweeps spoilers...have started to avoid the massive spoiler threads in this section because I don't want to be tooo spoiled on what's coming, but I don't mind a promo and definitely like seeing others' opinion on it.

BH GET IT, CRYSTAL!!! And then...she got a picture afterwards. Jealous.

Yeah, they were. They even had cast pictures and everything. One of the newbies was a dead ringer for OC Vicki, too if I remember correctly. Then CoVid hit. And like most people, Gina's point of view changed and she bowed out.

If only they would give them a story...

Sounds like Eileen has the same deal as Jess Walton and more power to her. I wish I could see her more though.

RHOA Filler? Maybe. Bridging? For sure. I have said often that with Porsha gone and Drew going so hard for her, that Drew's second season she was going to get dragged by the ladies. Love her or hate her, people liked Latoya better. And Drew was even more of a tryhard than Latoya. Last week, the girls already started by bringing up tea about Drew's husband and a assistant. This week started the beginnings of Drew's rivalry with ShebySheree by Drew's assistant saying he was also her assistant and he didn't get paid...a recurring theme with Sheree so I cannot say that I don't believe it. However, Sheree ain't the one you want whether she's poor, rich, or just faking it. And this season, ShebySheree is on the right team. Kandi stirred with the Ralph/Assistant mess. Kenya stirred with the Drew's Assistant mess. Hmmmm. And to add on Drew's own husband is gaslighting her. The fact that Production (who BTW to a post above YES, I do believe IS Potomac's production team with foine Justin from the Monique fight this season) also drag her every chance they get. It's sad to see, but yet...I don't feel sorry for her. Meanwhile, it would seem this episode also started the roots of Kandi vs Marlo. It's interesting that it keeps being mentioned that Kandi knew Marlo looooooooooong before Season 4. I also really liked what Kandi said black families and work ethic. We definitely want the best for our kids and not through suffering. It is hard to do that and not have kids be spoiled. If I had them, I would want my kids to have everything that I didn't have, but I would want them to have a strong work ethic...something lacking in today's society sadly. I cannot believe to talk about how many people I've trained in the younger generation and how different it is when they have a sense of entitlement vs no training and watching them grow. I get where Marlo was trying to go for because of that and can see the potential argument coming since her and Kandi represent two different sides of blackness. If it goes the way I suspect it will go, I think it's going to be a grey matter and there are going to be some interesting discussion here. On a light note, YASSSSSS!!!! I loved the Season 8 Kenya/Sheree dynamic and I love, love, LOVE that it's back. Though I side-eye FOR Kenya at Chateau Sheree. Does she really live there now? KENYA. Not in it very much, but made it count with light shade, fun vibe, and a little side of pot stirring, setting off Drew vs Sheree. SHEREE. Sheree's return continues to bear fruit. We got to see Chateau Sheree in all its glory. We saw Mama Thelma who I believe went missing. We got the Kenya/Sheree dynamic back. She has man drama. And now she has juicy drama!!! I cannot wait until next week when she does what she does best...read a heffa. SANYA. Sanya continues to be a good addition. She fits in just fine. And this week we saw more of her family. Her mama is so funny and so messy. KANDI. Hmmm...is that cracks in Kandi and Todd's union? Cuz it seems weird he still has that condo. But it seems weird to me that we have not seen her pool since Season 6...? lol. And I liked that she is there for Marlo, but respectively setting boundaries. They have come a long way and the Season 4 reunion is one of my faves and they fighting was one of the highlights. If only because back then, no one could get under Kandi's skin like Marlo...bringing out 'Drag a B' Kandi. MARLO. I stay liking seeing her be a mom to her nephew. I also got what she was trying to say to Kandi. But she does realize that Kandi's kids that are at home ARE KIDS versus her nephews who are teenagers. So...??? DREW. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHA!!! Karma is a...well. hehe. Production was dogging the mess out of her and I was living for it. The Confessional where they made her read aloud what gaslighting is. The vaudeville short about Ralph. Ralph's Confessional with the playback. I can't!!! I mean...is Drew that oblivious? And then how she treated her at that low budget 'romantic' dinner...smh. No, Girl. That was just disgusting. And he started that by doing what he told her NOT to do. Where's Rinna to singing Gaslighting. That...was sad. Good bridge episode to the coming feuds (even the Kenya v Marlo one). So much better than last season where the reason for a fight was a cut scene to manipulate the audience. Bring on Drew vs ShebySheree. GET HER, SHEREE!!!

5-2 So over Hope being so insecure about Liam being around Steffy. Though I understand why. JMW stays doing good work. Though I giggled at Liam saying she just got shocked and got home and STILL look like a model.

5-2 Such a build to the Mom and Son reunion. I see what everyone meant last week. While SW is playing Diane as a haunted woman and is sucking me in for the most part, MM's Kyle has been really off. I felt like he had it when Jack finally tells Kyle Diane is alive, but he was just playing this reunion scene so odd. oh, they looped back around to Chance. Meh. I did like the cliffhanger of Victor waiting for Diane.

Oh how I live for those moments when Ashley looks regal...

It's the first season. And from clips I've seen, that's NOT Cristall's only fight. Same. So far I am really digging Chyka in my bingewatching. Speaking of Melbourne, I think that for the new girls in Season 5 they cast an existing friend group which sounds like it gave it an authentic and organic vibe to events. Meanwhile, NJ is not doing the same with the three newbies coming on board. Le sigh. Why won't they listen to the fans who want to see real friendships. Well it sounds more like Gina was FIRED and not just demoted, but time will tell. THere's a new rumor out that the returning HW is LYDIA, but if she comes back Production wants her to be a bitca. I could see why. With money of her own as well as the fact that she and Heather have been known to get into it, perhaps they are trying to cast someone who can go toe to toe with Heather in terms of sass AS WELL AS money.

Supertrailer for Monique's show!!!

Now that's MADAM to you. 😜 I remember seeing that and being sad that she did not continue on.

Beat still my SCANDAL heart. I felt the same thing when Soaps said 'who lives in Vermont?' Ah...Vermont. lol.

4-29 Ooooo...the girls have hate chemistry. After signs of potential, nuTrina has settled in. And her list of characters she has chemistry with is growing. I have dreams of a Rory/Trina/Spencer triangle dancing in my head. She has good chemistry with both so I admit that I'm kinda leaning into Rory/Trina now. I guess in a perfect world that that would happen while Esme gets thrown in Cameron/Joss's direction once the unmasking of Esme is done. I am over this slimy reporter...so I guess the actor is doing a good job. I just hope they never try to pair him with Alexis. Speaking of Alexis, everything connected to Harmony has been great throughout this week. But part of me watching this and all the concerned characters (Gladys, Carly, Michael, Brando, Bobbie by phone) talking, talking, talking...I just think...all of this over WILLOW??? I have more connection to Sasha's pain and her storyline...but Willow. Part of me is meh.

Thanks for the tip.

Hehe. I should have known. Yeah from what I remember Matt was all about his religion, but try to come out of his shell. There was one time when he was trying to mac on his black girl. But I can't remember if she was just giving him side-eye or really gave him the time of day. BUT he was happy he tried to put out some game. I want to say there was a kiss and he was all starr-eyed about it. I believe it. My friend once had a friend who was gay and in the military with his bf. And he was sooo shy and gentlemen-y and still not out versus his bf who was. Fast forward to now...and he's running around single with a porntusche and definitely comes across 180 from how he was when I met him.

4-28 Well, darrrn!! I've felt a way about the abruptness of some of the storyline directions, but this week has been intense. Which of course means awesome!!! So Harmony killed Neil because he knew about Nina and Willow. WOW. And watching the domino effect of her coming undone has been awesome!!! Once Carly joined in, I knew it was just going to climax. And that didn't disappoint though I expect Carly to fight more. I would say that I'm sad this is when the recast came in, but she's done a pretty decent job and sounds like Alexis complete with mannerisms. And Michael vs Sonny. WOW. That scene where Michael cut Sonny out of his life. AJ is somewhere grinning. Please let this feud goes on for a while. Hat Daddy? Well...mental health and the black community is a tricky topic to play with. So I'm curious to see what is done with it now. Especially if Hat Daddy is this mystery mob boss...which this show continues to tease by letting Dante discover that beat up henchman. Yas, Laura!! You stay butting into this mess with Esme and Nik. Annnnnd YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Rory and Trina bonding and Spencer seeing them and seeing green. FINALLY!!! Even Sasha's pill use is gaining momentum, and nice merging with the Harmony storyline. Looking forward to the Liz reveal. And I am so, so, SOOOOOOOOOO TIRED of people interfering with Chase and Brooklyn kissing.

4-29 IMANI!!! That said...I thought that was a good week. The Diane returns storyline continues to gain legs as Nikki finds out, some near misses, Kyle being told, and then the face to face as a Friday cliffhanger. There were still moments when it felt a bit sloppy. Like I expected that when Diane freaked and ran out that she would run into Ashland with her grandchild...which would have been interesting. Or perhaps Diane would see Sharon...not that I recall them having any history. and I kinda miss AD's energy in the Nikki/Diane scenes, but still great scenes. Is that it? Rey had a heart attack? That crash story could have gone so many ways with Sharon lashing out at Victoria, lashing out at Ashland, lashing out at Chelsea while dealing with how she felt about it and keeping it together. But alas, I guess. Meanwhile, that is all they have for Devon, Amanda, and Lily while Imani just hinting she wants her some Nate. And I can just imagine the chemistry. Just le sigh.

It would be cool if BEYOND SALEM beats out the flagship. That said...interesting choices for nominations. I can't even think of what some used for their reel.

Now to say what I wanted to say yesterday, but was stopped due to computer issues... ...WOOOOoooooW!!! Same.

Oooooooooooooooooo
