10-6 Just like I said that I felt Diane's return had good flow at first, I can say the same for now-revealed Tucker's return. Because Tucker did like to make an entrance. So far I like he's focused on toying with Diane on one hand and on the other hand...ASHLEY. And I liked the writers didn't waste any time getting him in a scene with Devon. That was abrupt and unexpected, but not bad. Finally, Noah/Allie get some drama. Intrigued. Awww at Sally/Nick having the 'what are we talk?' talk. I know it's going to go to Hades because she still loves Adam and we know Adam will do something. Ugh! I really want Victoria to slap Chelesa for revealing the truth about Johnny before any of his known parents were around. And no more meet-cute moments between her and Billy.

BH Well you said to watch it. So I sat down and watched the finale. While I enjoyed the game of chess between Kyle and Garcelle at the start of the season, I fell off over the repetition which got boring. And it sounded like Aspen kinda flopped. Kinda due to the aftermath. But then again...it did leave the Coven exposed for who they are. They are quite good at not holding their group unaccountable. Meanwhile, Garcelle and her group have been slowly picking on that, revealing it...one scene...deleted or not...at a time. And Aspen highlighted that by EricFake showing her whole entire A$%. So the Coven did what they do best...deflect by targeting someone. Someone being Kathy Hilton. What I liked about the finale...other than the pacing...was it highlighted their most vicious technique and brought it fully...deleted or not depending on what region of the world you're in...into the light of day. No amount of deflect was going to work now that Kathy Hilton did an investigation. Not helped by the deleted scene. Nor Garcelle opening Kyle's eyes for what should be clearly obvious since it came from 'Queen' Kyle's playbook. So the tension was marvelous. And the Coven splintered. Finally? I guess we will see tonight. KYLE. How she can let that Ex Soap Opera Star bully her into talking about Kathy needing help on camera is beyond me. And at Garcelle's Brikin party at that. How low budget (c) Candiace RHOP. That said...I admit that I felt for Kyle a little bit as well. There have been little signs of Season 1 Kyle popping out. I live for Season 1 Kyle with her vicious bitca persona...and we haven't seen her since at least the start of Season 10. I loved her actually listening to Garcelle. With no one else to turn to, she really and truly listened and I felt she was being real in that moment and you could see the wheels turning in her head. That they FINALLY came for their 'Queen.' And Kyle had to decide...was she going to be sunk by her 'friends' or was she going to swim to the winning team aka Kathy and Garcelle. That scene of her exposing EricFake's publicist was full of so much tension. LOVE it. DORIT. Girl, you are on the losing team. Don't pick on Kyle for throwing EricFake under the bus and Ex Soap Opera Star being caught in her scheme. Get with the winning team. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. Well, without the 'lost' footage, her playing her role of Henchwoman was just annoying AF. She worked so hard on creating that narrative. And then she went with microaggressions on Garcelle. Try as she might to keep it going...Kathy was one step ahead of her moving in the shadows. And...it still blew up in her face. And WITH the 'lost' footage, that's just more obvious she was trying to leak out that story. At least she was right about one thing...she was protecting her friend. Except the friend wasn't Kyle. And if she can have that leaked to the press...then...naturally people are going to go back over other times *cough*LVP*cough* when stories were leaked. A can of worms. ERICFAKE. So your publicist leaked a story about Kathy to deflect from you. And why would she do it? DUH so people won't notice the lawsuit that she crowed was dismissed was refiled in California. DUH cuz she did not want too much publicity on the fact she is trying to get that jewelry she gave up back. DUH cuz she still have other lawsuits on her. DUH she ain't coming across in a good light so better to have people...LOOK OVER THERE!!! (c) RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE. She ain't sleek. LOVE Morally Corrupt Faye Rensick standing up for Kathy. SUTTON. Go her for doing what she has been doing since before I stopped watching...having it brought out in the open. The two vipers were going to go and not at all let it go. Probably continue it so good on her for making them sit down (though Garcelle got the ball rolling by bringing up this was a deflection tactic) and talking...leading to the Coven implosion. DIANE. Lint. GARCELLE. As usual did such a good job this episode. She brought us fun. She brought us wealth. She brought some tell it like it is...which she had been doing with her ghost producing this year. I loved what she said to Kyle. I loved even more that Kyle let it sink in. And during the Coven implosion, she spoke up at all the right moments to be sure they mentioned it all. CRYSTAL. Got some good points in, but was even there less than Dorit. Still...her questions were definitely Team Kathy/Garcelle. And speaking of the finale...look what just got unearthed... Make one think. Well...it sounds like Garcelle tears up Diane tonight and put the others on notice so will watch.

It's just good seeing Katie period given how things went down in Season 4. And love Candiace's fun shade. Even Gizelle being messy was light messy. I was sorry to hear that. Someone tweeted that it's funny what was happening right now with Nene and Brett's health issues, Porsha getting married, and Cynthia getting a divorce. All happening now...and they were not filming. This was before the news broke about Cynthia so I was relieved that it sounded like a rumor cuz that tweet started a storm. I liked them together. But I want my High Cheekbones 50Cynt to be happy.

And that just sucks. Because so much has happened in the world...like just over the last few years...that there are plenty of things, ideas, and themes to touch on. SO MUCH. And if ADW inspired so many people of my generation and younger to head off to college and how important it could be...could you imagine how it could inspire people now who could use some inspiration...to know anything is possible...if only they dare to dream?

She better hope Kathy don't. Harry Hamlin has been finding job after job after job and now he's going to be staring on the first season of ANNE RICE'S MAYFAIR WITCHES at the start of next year. It would be sad to see his jobs go to waste because Lipsa's lips. But I find the fact so many celebrities have come out for Kathy over Ex Soap Opera Star VERY telling.

RHOA Darn! I was hoping that was a rumor. Smh.

Throat punched. I have no words. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST song will be hitting differently going forward though. Such a lovely voice.

Chris Stack (Michael McBain #2, OLTL) is in the first season of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE.

Oops. Looking forward to Katie and more of Gizelle being messy next week.

Yeah when the cancer stuff was going down in real time that was what it sounded like. I want to say she cleared it up easily enough, too. If anything this will be a nice mini-arc. That said...jealous. As expected, my system went out before I could get to the premiere tonight so I will have to wait.

Since at some point, my tv system took off all of POTOMAC's seasons (outside of Karen's spinoff), I'm FINALLY watching the reunion in real time since it's airing right now. And I cannot believe what a difference a year makes because Candiace is coming across really well, Messy Mia held her own, and Wendy was too much and I am LIVING. But that last one I said the first time around. hehe.

ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

POTOMAC OOPS.

BH And EVEN...MORE...TEA!!! That rumored special guest star... ...AND...looks like Garcelle took off her gloves... @Cat @NothinButAttitude @Antoyne @DaytimeFan @Gray Bunny ETA: So Production is STILL editing...Lord...

After ducking out of last season's reunion...this one looks like it will touch on everything I want to see so I might sit through it. But yes, the main course is going to be the REAL Kathy Hilton showing up. Rumor has it that Kathy has already gotten people blackballing Ex Soap Opera Star. And did you see Latoya Jackson taking up for Kathy online, too? YW, Cat. I never know with YouTube's regional restrictions (which I myself hate sometimes) if anyone sees it there. And how shady they dropped it there first in the first place.

BH FINALLY!!!! AKA REUNION TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET HER, KATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THAT EX SOAP OPERA STAR!!!!!!!!!!! ETA: Interesting they drop it on YT first. Just in case... @Cat and @DaytimeFan

SLC Mixed feelings. TBH...I wasn't sure if I would even have any interest in going into Season 3 without Mary Corsby. Outside of Jen's drama...so much that Production did something we have not seen since at least RHOA Season 6 and restarted filming to get EVERYTHING...I did not think Meredith, Fabulous Ice, Heather, and Little Girl could keep my interest enough. Even though that trailer looked interesting. Two Episodes in...and I'm right. Mostly. lol. I knew the drama with Jen would hold my interest. And her fall from grace has been fascinating to watch. One cannot watch her without waiting for the future bombshell (that Production filmed) of Jen pleading guilty to the charges. So just like Jen was playing a role last season, she kinda is playing a role this season. I said kinda because...is it a role when it's you playing...yourself? And even that is kinda...really than Pat the Puss over on BH. She's leaning into being poor and just like being real made her more likeable than EricFake, her showing how she is now (and Coach Shah sticking with her unlike Hustler and Lawyer) was refreshing and felt...real. One thing that I have always liked about SLC when a new season started was that they are quite good at fallout. And no fallout is better than friendship fallout for me. So Meredith vs Lisa had a bit of my interest. At least in Episode 1. Meredith's claws was out and she's on the warpath. Aka ENGAGED. Meanwhile, Lisa was on an apology tour. One that was falling on deaf ears...at least for Meredith. And now rumors on Fabulous Ice...uh oh. I admit that since we heard about it during the off-season, I am looking forward to the breakup of Bad Weather...and that should be next week. hehe. But it appears that it has been coming since the first episode. Look at Little Girl hijack Heather's Mormon storyline. And this week's episode, Heather was VERY specific that Whitney better not start mess that interferes with Heather's OTHER storyline: being the BFF to Jen. But Mary could have told her she should have known better. Saying all that...it's been background music though so my interest is slight. Will it drop off for me like BH? My highlight so far was Coach Shah's party. Time will tell. JEN. Like I said...still coming across more human than PasdenaPuss...and what she did was not nice at all. She's crying. She feels sorry for what her kids are going through. She's showing her real house downsizing. She even brought in MOTHER...who we all know would be a selling point given her mother gave her her savings last season. Almost none of her over the top personality. She came correct. FABULOUS ICE. You can never say that my Fabulous Ice isn't going to give us a show. lol. That said...I haven't been feeling her these two episodes. Except for her scenes with her kids. Like her oldest on the basketball court. I could feel the ma frustration as much as I felt her son's frustration with being told what to do. THAT to me felt real. As did her constant micromanaging. There's potential story there since she wants him to be the best. HEATHER. Meh. Though I love the look she gave Little Girl when Little Girl was telling the story about if her and Justin were still in the book. MEREDITH. OUR HEROINE!!! Or is she being one this season. She looks like she's taking no prisoners. And I don't hate that. Meredith is at her best when her claws are out. And her vs Fabulous Ice could be fun. And just like she dragged Jen at the beginning of last season, she's doing the same with Lisa. That Lisa is not backing down makes it a potential good rivalry/breakup. LITTLE GIRL. Her reveal of the abuse...le sigh. The most relatable she's been to me since Season 1 tbh. I had a friend go through a very similar experience so I felt all of that. And it did not feel fake...which was what I felt all her scenes so far have been. So I cannot and will not knock her for those scenes...or how beautiful her longer hair looks.

POTOMAC Messy Mia and G allegedly lost all their money to his cousin??? WHHHHHaaaaTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm sounds like the BH finale might be worth watching for who got exposed...and of course that Faye cameo. And going with the rumor for tomorrow's reunion trailer drop...things that make you go hmmm. Ex Soap Opera Star messed with the wrong one.

SLC One down, one (POTOMAC) to go. aka THE TAGLINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL at Fabulous Ice's.

Awwww re: Messy Mia support. I hope that she's like Drew on this season of RHOA where she gives a good second season when I know I loathed Drew on Season 13. The ladies really are. So this...should be fun.

Why do you think that is? I was so excited that you and others would see a lot of Kari this season so I feel a kinda way myself. And she feuded with Contessa, too? Well...if true...that should teach Anila to stop starting stuff with Toya. heehee.

LOL!!! I did...being one of the only Messy Mia fans. 😜 But yeah I watched last season and made it through the first part of the reunion, but I think I was being overworked at the time so it took me 3 tries to get into Part 2 and just never made it back in a timely manner. I've seen clips of some of the Nicki stuff. But I still wanted to watch it. I totally cannot wait. Probably going to make it through the RHOA reunion first though. IKR. I wanted those taglines (and SLC) like YESTERDAY. LOL.
