No need to trim, honey...show that chest...

Mmmmmmmm....ears....

ALL STARS I can't believe I am going to say this, but...I am actually liking Melissa and Kyle on this. Melissa actually seems like a fun girl here, and not a mean girl. Meanwhile, Kyle actually seem normal and real versus what she THINKS is her being normal and real. Her comforting Kenya over the divorce from Marc was an awwww moment and she seem so genuine. Meanwhile I laughed at her poking fun at herself and what happened with LVP and 'GOOD BYE KYLE.' But that has been the best thing about this. We have had reality tv around for decades now. And the ladies of all the franchises have learned how to suck up to producers, show only what they want to show, and pretend the outside world does not exist for the most part. BUT HERE? Here they can talk about the outside world and social media and being on the show and how it influences their lives. And I've found their perspective really insightful. Standouts for me was Teresa talking about being happy with her man...ironically given what is currently going on NJ and yes I am behind. lol. Kyle talking about being a friend and her friendship with LVP. Lu and Tom and finding out what he did by Bethanny. Things we saw on air, but not completely from their point of views. Honorable mention to Lu bringing up Bolo to Kenya and Cynthia. lol. That does bring me to again...the growing rift between Kenya and Cynthia. Le sigh. I cannot believe that Cynthia feels like she's looking for a moment and cannot see that Kenya was actually in pain. It makes me think of Nene's wedding special when her and Marlo fell out because Nene felt Marlo was doing too much. And that caused a rift. I had a long day and dozed off sadly, but I really, really enjoying it besides.

You're welcome.

I was picking. But yeah, he recurs on ROSWELL NEW MEXICO and posted a picture when they started filming. They should be finishing soon if they haven't already.

How you all keep hating on him when the actor does double duty is beyond me. Still love you all though.

That took some looking. lol. February 3. Taylor greets Ridge with a hug I think. Ridge comments on her hair. Taylor said it was time for something new and that her hair was growing so long, it was feeling kinda wiggy. If I'm remembering it right.

HA!!! ETA:

She is finally gettting to use her real hair. They even made an in-joke on the wig when her real hair debuted.

Well I called dibs on Liz's kids. 😜 But seriously to the why the kids...I was thinking the kids after the shredded dress...which is something a kid or a jealous ex would do. Also it would be the most dramatic route to go for Liz and still be relateable since the writers have been making a point to have Liz be hot and cold about getting into a relationship with Finn since Peter fell down the stairs. Which btw good to see that coda to Finn and Anna's relationship. But why now? Things to make you go hmmm.... ETA: I agree with @AlexElizabeth. I like this story because (so far) it is mostly centered on Liz and I really don't even know where the story is going either. Positively intrigued.

YEeeeeeah that Carter/Paris scene was kinda awkward to me. After all that talk, they just did not feel connected. Hehe. Sheila just could not wait to get in Brooke's face. Oh, well...at least she's not crying. Shut up, Steffy.

Darrrrrrn at all that sack. Woof!!! Mmmmm...those eyes and that goatee.

Yeah, it sounds like what they did to poor Jen Davis on DALLAS tbh. Jen Davis had an interesting story AND a divorce that was filmed for that last season. She also had a feud with D'andra...usually in scenes when the other girls were fighting. But what did we see? Just her in the background or when she does something silly. That was it.

I don't see how she could have it either. Now maybe back when her rapist appeared again. But now? I just feel if it's true...they could come up with a better story for Liz as a legacy character connected to an important family.

2-16 Wow. It has slowed down, but it hasn't. The writers have snatched up the momentum and gotten their groove back. Thank you Jesus!!!! I love how the A story is Peter/Maxie/Louise but they are allowing it to breath and playing the beats with it. Letting it lead to so many developments. From the baby reveal getting around to everyone slowly. Dealing with how people feel about that (especially Brooklyn). Victor's connection to it. Valentin being found. Austin and Dr. O team up. More and more Felicia navigating it all. And I love that she got to see her grandbaby and show Mac, but know it's best she has to stay with Brooklyn and Chase whom Brooklyn was falling apart without...but at the same time allowing Brooklyn and Chase to sllooooowwwly (great slow burn) deal with the elephant in the room. Loving it. And when the story is not on that...it is focused on the OTHER A story...Carly/Sonny/Nina. And the fallout from Carly walking in on Sonny/Nina has been great, too. It is surprising that Carly and Nina STILL have not run into each other yet. That is going to be a delicious shoe to drop. Ava's reaction is still my favorite so far. And even this...they are slowly letting it get out. Joss just figured it out and she's mad. Michael just found out, but he can shut up. lol. And Sonny thankfully is back on those meds. And Carly is cooking something up for Nina. Hmmm.... Where is Chet and Terry? lol. I liked those VD episodes. I guess B story is this stuff with Willow's parentage. It has a decent start. And it's been used to bring Harmony and Alexis together. If her being Nina's daughter is just a red herring...which is how it sounds...who is Joan? I can't believe that after all that build up...Curtis has turned into the C story again. Just meh. Same with Liz's storyline. But it has a nice build and I am intrigued. Someone said DID. I never thought of that. But...could these writers do that justice enough or do I just have worries because when I think DID now, I think RC on OLTL?

@Cat you are right and I was wondering that as well. Jen and Tequila Bill were iced out, but so far from my watching it does not look like it at all. The magic of editing.

That's good to hear. I didn't like they seem to be giving Kiki the DALLAS Jen Davis FOH edit, but good she still shined through. Since my brother is having trouble remembering his Peacock account PW, I'm happy someone has been posting episodes online to watch. So ready to return to Miami...and I know Kiki looks and sounds cool.

hehehe. @Chris B I'm definitely ready for ATL and MarriedtoMedicine (though I need to finish last season) to be back. And I'm DEFINITELY ready for the long awaited return of Caroline Stansbury aka HBIC of LADIES OF LONDON. And yes, I will be watching Kandi's spinoff next week. I'm such a sucker for anything in the restaurants/VPR/SWEETBITTER vein. And did you and @Cat see that Kiki on RHOM filmed (and had cut) Confessionals?

Yeah, it was a CHORE after the gaslighting of Mary to watch. And once that racist started to talk and everyone wanted to add on...I literally almost turned the channel. It was just that triggering. Could you imagine how that all would have went IF Jeannie had not pi#$ed off someone enough to unearth all those posts of hers? Just...foul. Outside of Jen's drama (and seeing Coach Shah speak)...Yeah I can't either. This might just be like how I felt about the BH reunion...I tapped out after Part 1. It's barely fun anymore. Okay, it's mostly not fun. That...was just too much. ALL OF THIS.

SLC Part 1 left me cold. In fact, seeing that the gaslighting continues next week, I think I will seriously skip over Part 2 which I feel is going to be filler anyway and be back for Part 3 for Jen vs Utah Lydia. I can see why Twitter was upset. Mary was definitely, truly, and utterly everyone's storyline. I posted the synopsis for the reunion weeks ago, but I hoped there would be more substance, but nope. Given the few times that Housewives have decided to not show up to a reunion, it is very telling that rather than move on after the announcement that they kept harping on it. So...nothing happened this season? I mean...there is Jen's arrest, but we are not allowed to mention it, right? God bless, Utah Lydia. She will be good and God darned if she was not fighting for her relevancy as a boss bitca that only 'appears' to be a victim. And she almost immediately saw Bad Weather coming with their annual reunion act. While NO ONE will EVER top Monique's binder, good to see her bringing receipts to back up the Angie catering arc that started off the season. Jeannie v Meredith was easily the highlight as shown above by @Cat. I guess Andy and the Budget Coven planned to do a whole narrative (and also next week) of Mary being the villain and a racist. And they thought they were going to pull Meredith along for the ride. And Meredith was like 'no, bitca.' She gathered that girl and gathered her good. But the gaslighting. The trying to paint Jeannie as not in the wrong...even though she knew of her posts and the world did not...and allowing her to even have a narrative that Andy was supporting. Too much for me.

DISCUSS!!!

Easily my favorite part of the episode. Meredith got her ALL THE WAY TOGETHER. They really should have. I found it EXTREMELY triggering and I never recovered from it. NO I don't need a rewatch. And the fact that through that whole section Jen looked like she wanted to say something, but kept her mouth was the only standout from it.
