POTOMAC Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Caught up!!!! There's one thing I can say about POTOMAC. No matter whether it is filler or not, the girls on this show give a lot even if it is filler. That said, I liked both epsiodes. But that might be because I feel like 1) they have a slow build going on and we know things are coming and most importantly there are things THAT WERE NOT IN THE TRAILER FOR THE SEASON!!!! and 2) there's a lot going on. Versus focusing on one thing a la BH or being a bit uneven some episodes a la RHOA, there's so much to see that keeps me watching even for the slow moments. I'm probably going to touch on these more in a minute, but there are two things about the shifting dynamics (and the dynamics never bore on this show) that reallllllllllllllly stood out for me. 1...SEASON 7 CYNTHIA BAILEY, IS THAT YOU? I'm sorry...I might not like her all the time, but THIS SEASON...Robyn has given in every episode so far. Whether I like her shade or just want to shade her, she really has come out of Gizelle's butt and chosen violence and I'm LIVING for it. It's making her a wild card...note not so much a wild card I think she will turn on Gizelle mind you though I love she is not co-signing her antics like she used to...and that makes her unpredictable for me. Especially in group scenes. Cursing out Wendy next week. Trying to boss up on Wendy in Episode 3. Disinviting her to Kids Day in front of her. Having Candiace's back and vouching for Chris. Heck she even lightly got gathered by Messy Mia. And of course, there's Juan drama. Must be the red hair. Speaking of Wendy... 2...DOCTOR WENDY....IS THAT YOU? We never saw DOCTOR Wendy last season. What we did see was a Wendy who tried hard. And then at the reunion we got Doing Too Much Wendy. So...it has been surprising since the season started that what little of Wendy we have gotten has leaned into the Wendy we were introduced to in Season 5. And let's be clear...Wendy still has that Season 6 fire in terms of her making Robyn sit her butt right back down when she bossed up on DOCTOR Wendy. She didn't rise her voice, but her voice was firm with a no-time-for-mess tone to it...more in light with Season 6. I didn't like where Wendy fell in the Monique/Candiace fight, but that did not mean that I did not like her. So it's nice to see the professor again. My only question is the mystery of why she appears (so far) to be around so little. But we know that drink toss in Miami with Messy Mia is coming so... EPISODE 3 THINGS I LIKED THE GROWTH. And by growth, I meant Candiace. I continue to respect how she handled everything with Gizelle and that rumor. And that kind of 4th wall breaking...was delicious. She just walked out and gave Gizelle dust, not even giving us a moment, but at the same time giving us a moment. I can't even believe that Gizelle just sat there and acted like she didn't know why. Bitca. 'Keep All My Fourth Wall., Mention It All., etc.' Go on, Candiace...keep on keeping it real. I might just become a fan yet. THE HULK VS DOCTOR WENDY. HERE...FOR...IT!!!! I don't know why Robyn was sitting there trying to attack Wendy when she was not even there during the OG Picnic, but I loved how Wendy shut her down. Cuz if it had been DOING TOO MUCH WENDY... But I loved Robyn trying to start mess. And bonus...Mia started to get into it with Robyn as well. lol. And it looks like it's going to be a mini feud...and I want to see how petty they can get since I feel they are evenly matched...though Doctor Wendy CAN read. OMG PRODUCTION!!!!! I swear...Production on RHOP are the best in the business. Wendy and her hot mic moment when not even minutes ago she was saying how she believed Mia. And then Production clocking Mia lying about Chris to comic effect. Lord....lol. And speaking of... MESSY MIA. I know she's going to be hated soon enough, but I've enjoying her messiness so far. I even enjoyed that her and the GEB were able to quickly move on from Cancergate after their arguement as well. HOLD UP!!! Ashley has a brother...? THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE. UH...ASHLEY GIRL...? I was looking forward to Single Ashley. But this...? I am side-eyeing her as well. And I hate to say it, but I expect Ashley to move smarter than this. Since she's been moving well for years. LA DAME...CAN WE TALK? I have to admit...I was side-eyeing her as well when she was talking to Gizelle and they were talking about Robyn and Candiace. Cracks in the GEB? I wouldn't go that far, but I thought it was interesting she sounded like she was backing Gizelle over Candiace. EPISODE 4 THINGS I LIKED. TAGLINES. At last. They need to quit with that. And now there are rumors Bravo want them discontinued...uuuuh...let's not. THE SHADE. It was sooooooooo on point. Robyn, gurl...even your BFF was shading that whole set-up. Not just Messy Mia. And then Production with that Michael/Ashley flashback as Ashley was reading the separation letter. Eddie with the 'Chris? The one who cook them dinner' was some unexpected humor, too. And you can never not laugh at Candiace saying hi to Grace, but paying her mama dust. Speaking of...La Dame leaving after being around Cha Cha for a few minutes was hilarious. WELL WHEN YOUR MAMA IS THE GRANDE DAME. Go on, Ravyn!!! Go to the Met Ball!!! I was so jealous!!! HULK VS DOCTOR WENDY ROUND 2. Robyn, you really thought you could get the kids there without their mother? Even Candiace knew what was coming for her and she was only the messenger. hehe. The feud that keeps on giving. LOVED IT. Does that mean...it's Hulk 0, Doctor 2? OOOOH...A TURN. Just when I was side-eying Ashley...here she comes with her friendship with Candiace. And...here comes Michael with some mess. Did he really drop the separation news out there without telling Ashley? The plot thickens... THING I DIDN'T LIKE. CHARISSE. Meh. Next week we get Candiace vs Ashley and Hulk vs Doctor Wendy Round 3? SOLD!!!

Oh, yes, I saw all about Baddie and Black Girl Chorus. Still I do wonder if SOMETHING is coming. Now that Lint is running around saying she found the bots, Kyle met with producers for lunch over the last day, and now sources are saying that RHOBH is going on break allegedly until next year rather than filming soon which they were about to do. I guess like RHOA and RHONY, RHOBH is now on pause/hiatus.

HE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEE DO HAVE A BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!!! DAYYYYYUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry him and Lisa ain't together and he, old school Apollo, and RHOM Romain Zago were my Househusbands. Honorable mention to Eddie Judge. HOLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe.

Wait. They're rebooting SYNDEY????

LOVE. And did you see her Twitter has vanished?

Long overdue.

Yeah. I've been rolling my eyes at Chelesa for a while now, but I cannot say that MCE isn't acting her butt off right now.

I admit I am starting to wonder what they are going to do with Sheila. Especially since Deacon did not even hesitate to drop everything he was doing to propose to Brooke.

That is very good to hear. I cannot wait to get there. So...worth the wait, too?

DISCUSS!!!!

November Sweeps...or Sleeps? Drink Up!!! Or...DISCUSS!!!

Just what everyone needs from time to time...a good sandwich.

SLC See what happens when you mix in more people. SLC just is not a strong enough show to be held up by 5 people. They need to mix it up more. So this week, Heather's ski trip introduced the newbies. Angie K, Danna, and Angie H. Angie K for me was just there. Danna as expected had some presence, but has done very little as of yet. And then Angie H...Angie H... She's coming in hot. Angie was the one that Little Girl said was behind the Lisa rumors. We rememeber her from last season's CaterGate. And next week, her husband starts some mess with Jen. And she even got a shady confessional when she was talking to Heather about the Bad Weather breakup. So...she's ready to be a lightning rod of drama. And since Mary is no longer around to be there...I guess I'm game. I actually liked this episode because it felt very 'let's check in on everyone and how they are doing' kind of an episode. Old school HW. And it was interesting. JEN. It's kind of funny. You would think Bravo would be on it with Jen's storyline. But so far it's been very light on her court drama. It was part of the reason I liked last week when Meredith was explaining how things might go in Jen's trial with the girls. This week Jen was with Coach Shah discussing what was going on. Mock trials. Worries. A husband standing by his woman. It just felt...real? And it was at this point that she found out the trial was pushed back. Hmmmm...a possibility of old Jen coming back? In any case, Jen continues to play the innocent role. LISA. Just what Fabulous Ice needs. What? A feud. It looked like she did stop talking to Angie H after CarterGate. And now Angie H is popping up everywhere. And she is not having it. lol. I love Heather owning that she invited Angie H on the ski trip. And I love even more Lisa given her the benefit of the doubt that it was to be messy. MEREDITH. MMMMmmmm...Seth. That said...I don't like seeing Brooks, but I do like how his parents are supportive of him. Though they sure do came across as swingers in that scene. LITTLE GIRL. Lint. HEATHER. Continues to pay Little Girl dust. And I don't blame her. It's the same thing she was doing with Mary last season. Girl just likes being read I guess. *shrugs* I thought it was a good episode and a nice start to Angie H kicking off the coming drama.

*falls over*

THIS.

WOOF!!!! Hell HO, Brad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOF!!!! Hell HO, Brad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yessir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His body is fine without it. I loved that some of the comments agree with us about that chest one.

Oh how I miss New York... The arm doesn't bother me, but that chest one? No. Don't follow the trend. How about YOU be THE TREND? Hard NO.

Which was the point Brad Bell was trying to make with him. An upgrade. Someone who only had eyes for Steffy. He said it in all these interviews. And he gave them some good writing. He gave them drama that writes itself. He...basically committed. I would hate to see that fall to the wayside just to give Hope/Liam something to do. He can find something else for them...which he appears to be doing without even having to touch on Steffy/Finn. Who right now deserves a bit of happiness like all good soap couples get. Sheila is waiting in the wings so we know they will be back in the story sun.

THANK YOU. Don't make me swoon over a couple only for another man to go wishy-washy. No, ma'am!!

Yay!!! Not done with him yet. This must be the Pandora Box that happened due to the 'Alliance.'

Hmmmm sounds like Daniel is back for a couple of months arc. Also sounds like we might see James Hyde's character again. Billy's 'friendship' with Chelesa isn't just testing Lily's patience.
