He has definitely been a case of his off-screen life has affected how I see his on-screen life.

Well it is. lol.

8-18 Oh how I wanted to throw something at my TV, I loved the buildup to the verdict. And ROBERT!!!! LONG TIME NO SEE!!! But I'm looking forward to the aftermath in terms of Rory/Trina/Spencer. He finally said it aloud. Now he needs to say it to TRINA. But of course, he didn't get to Trina before her and Rory made it official. And now he wants to be a matryr. Just ugh. But I'm eating it up because I wanted to shake him for not telling her. Count me in as not liking MC's interpretation of Nickolas as of late. Just watching the scenes with him and Victor and Victor could see right through him. I just feel that Nik would put up better walls. Even MC played Nik better when he first appeared. Now here is Jordan with a search warrant and MW and CS both had on flawless game faces and played not-knowing what was going on to the hilt. Not looking guilty over fake social media or throwing people off turrets. lol. Then you look at Nik with a conflicted face. Uhhhh...no. There was a way to play that and have a game face on. I don't know what happened to MC. I do like that when (yes, when) Esme resurfaces, she will be in trouble. Well...I admit that I was impressed with how they gave Dex a backstory. And one that was similar to Sonny. And I felt the actor did a great job with the material. For the first time, I actually cared about him and wanted to see where they go with him. So...good job. Still...not feeling Cody. lol. Not shocked. The difference between him and Dex in developing a newbie is officially night and day. I actually forgot that Carly knows that Nina and Willow are related. And it surprises me that having other people roped into Willow's drama that I care about (Terry, Britt, and ESPECIALLY TJ) is making me care about Willow. A little. lol. I

RHoDubai Meh. I thought it was just me so I had to watch it twice. But that was how I felt about the finale. I really could not put my finger on why that is. There were plenty of good moments, but it was the sum of the parts for me. I did like that the season ended with focus on culture. Ayan talking to her sister in a different language and that was its own scene with translators. Sara wanting to show the girls that one area. Lesa and the passing of Miss Goat. I also liked that the season ended on a vibe of 'what's to come.' And by that...I meant...Lesa vs Caroline. Their rivalry has been sprinkled throughout the season. And it was definitely teased here...and in the trailer for the reunion. I have heard about THE Milan. And I saw Caroline on LoL. So it will be great to see that rivalry built in Season 2. THINGS I LIKED ALAS MISS GOAT... I cannot believe that Miss Goat is gone. She was like one of the best recurring characters of this season. So awwww. She will be missed. Just seeing Lesa's family (and her foine husband) has been a joy this season. Also on display was her friendship with Ayan. They are really so close...and the girls are pressed about it. AYAN AND HER SISTER. I really loved that whole scene with her sister. Just speaking their native language. Them relating as sisters and over their experience as kids. I giggled a bit when the sister mentioned how she had been trying to get Ayan to do the therapy for years, but it took Sara to do that. hehe. Such a sibling moment. I really feel that Ayan came through as a Housewife this year by doing what a Housewife should do. She had personality AND was transparent. LESA VS CAROLINE. How Lesa handled Caroline. Was totally the icy-ness that I was used to Caroline having on LoL. Given what Brooks has been trying to say about her being the Brain to Ayan's Pinky, I'm curious to see where a showdown will go. BROOKS A GOLDDIGGER. Ha! at Brooks's son mentioning the word golddigger. And how he probably got the word from her ex-husband. Oh, how funny. SECRET TEA. Oooooooooo...so Bravo added some more to the Reunion trailer I see. So Ayan brings up Sergio might be gay. And Caroline got pressed. hehe. I expect there's a LOT they are not showing from the reunion so I am looking forward to it. I wonder if it will be like SLC's S1 reunion which was a good first time reunion as well. THINGS I DID NOT LIKE THE PREGNANCY. Well, it did come full circle. It would have been odd if Caroline did not mention how things went with Sergio. But still...I am not sure how I feel about it since she (and Sophie) mentioned the complications that would come with a pregnancy. And yet...she did it anyway. I just hope it was the right thing to do. Well, good first season. I feel like come Season 2 they will be off and running.

Well, I'm a season and a half behind. I feel you on that. YES!!! That's the scene!!! My tv was still running so I saw him storming out and rewind to see what got Daddy oh so mad. Because from my viewing it never has happened. I was shocked. He was truly over Heavenly's mess.

THE BEAR Season 1 SWEETBITTER Season 2 And of course...KUNG FU Season 2

WOW. Daddy got mad!!!!!!! I think that's the first time I've EVER seen him step (verbally) to Heavenly and over her mess.

That is just sickening. She need to ignore that. As far as Sally, I hate how this Adam/Sally breakup happened, but I have enjoyed her being on her own and hope shades of B&B Sally pop out. And I've enjoyed the tension between her and Nick.

I've been enjoying his comings and goings and he brings a different vibe that I don't dislike.

That video popped up much that I had to watch that. Yep. If Ex Soap Opera Star's days are indeed numbered...looks like she's going down fighting. Bye, bitca.

Le sigh...

Mmmmmm...Brenda... You know me well. lol.

It's been almost two weeks and it is still haunting me. Just on my mind. I even kinda sorta binged through it again last Sunday. And looked at a few past scenes with the knowledge of this season on my mind. Someone posted a picture of Rehaboom's timeline for humanity/host's end and it really hit that machine foreshadowed Season 4 where there is a collapse around the 28/30 year mark...which it did. And the last dot was 125 years in the future which goes back to the dialogue from the Season 2 post credit scene. So...well-played. Not even my favorite season, but I now feel like a rewatch on Season 3 myself. lol. Dolores-yes, s3 finale Caleb-yes/no.

Now that funnily enough sounds like an entertaining plot. Takes me back to the days of SHE SPIES.

Well I didn't hear it so *takes a breath that the bubble is still alive*

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can we keep him?

No he doesn't!!! Not the jacket on the other hand...he can get rid of that.

OMG! YES! I woke up this morning and THAT was the first thing I saw. This was me...

YAAAASSSSSSSS JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 That nose. Those nipples. That KitKat. Mmmmm The chest. *fans self*

See? I had that reaction to Sanya's dress at first. Then I realized she was trying to aim for Warrior Princess and got it. I suspect that it will look better as she moves on camera than in a picture. So I hate to say that, but I liked it. My faves though are Kandi and Sheree. Even Drew appears to come through. This is easily Kenya's weakest look. BUT I have seen other pictures that bring out the outfit more than above so I might change my mind on that, too. Marlo's was just meh.

RHOA REUNION LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!

RHoDubai Wow. Those Carolines looked so pressed. Finally watched last week's episode ahead of the finale tonight. And that was the impression I got from watching it. That and it felt uneven regardless of the Ayan's reveal at the end of the episode. It has been established during the season that sometimes for all of her languages that she speaks, that Ayan does have a language barrier. And as someone who has had to deal with it often, there are moments where that is true...and moments when that is not the case. THIS is the former. The fact that Caroline was trying to make it into the latter for Brooks really took away any good will she had made toward Ayan. And Ayan was and continued to be the bigger person this past week, making up for me being Team Caroline the week before. That Caroline would throw her under the bus (but thankfully Production did the rollback to show the many times Ayan APOLOGIZED to Caroline) simply showed how threatened she is to me of Ayan. The sad thing is they are really and truly just alike...simply different approaches. But heaven forbid Caroline actually listens, too focused on her own agenda...or as Ayan, Lesa, and Brooks all pointed out...her being a Karen. As for Brooks, she is clearly jealous of how much Lesa and Ayan have each other's back. I guess I would have to know how long Brooks and Ayan were friends before Lesa because she is coming across as if she is mad that Lesa stole her away. Then again, I started to wonder (and those Production rollbacks did not help) if Brooks is right and Lesa is moving a lot more subtle a la an LVP than it appears. Not a sniper from the side mind you, but definitely keeps her hands clean. And then...Sergio...hmmm...I'm sorry he ruined the vibe. How is the group going to gell if he keeps popping in. It reminds me of the tales I hear here and online of Alex and Simon from NY. AYAN. Continues to be authentic to me...over the top and all. Sorry, not sorry. And at this point, it really does feel like they are coming for her because they are basic. Goodness knows being into it with her keeps people relevant on this show. If she was not the HBIC, these little girls would not be running around trying to make it seem like Ayan was being extra otherwise. Ayan was actually trying to be the bigger person and that's shocking given how she started out the season. That said...that reveal of what happened to her when she was five. That was sad. CAROLINE. Smh. I feel like I've been the biggest supporter of her being on the show, and that she would start to bring it. Oh, she's bringing it and showing more. And yet...this? No, ma'am!! lol. The walking definition of 'two steps forward, four steps backwards.' She was actually in the right in the disagreement with Ayan. And while Ayan rose to the occasion...Caroline took them all the waaaaaay back to Square One, by being LoL Caroline and not accepting the apology. Then she killed the vibe by having (and allowing) Sergio to show up to camera-hop and give us weak camera time when she was starting to give WITHOUT him. THEN she started lying about Ayan to Brooks. Though I thought it was hilarious that she worked this hard to discredit Ayan and yet if Ayan is just a puppet, she didn't want her??? Isn't Juliet and half of her friends puppets to her? Just saying... LESA. Hmmmmm. That is the sound of me giving her some side-eye? Could she be playing in everyone's face and we don't know it? Or is she right? After all she said at the beginning at the season that the cause of her rivalry with Caroline was the fact that Nina had been warning her off of Caroline...only to turn around and become friends with Caroline herself. So...who can be believed? At least she called her out. NINA. Yeeeeah, I don't think the girls are wrong about her. She definitely ran after Caroline when she ran away. And one can questioned where her loyalty lies. BROOKS. Speaking of loyalty, I was looking at her this episode and thinking of Porsha's taunting of Cynthia on RHOA about flip flopping and being two faced. There she was relating with Ayan and Lesa. In fact, what she said about black women vs white women resonated with me, bringing up a past love...well a woulda, coulda, shoulda...where my friends were more about another friend being happy with him and deserve to be happy versus...I didn't deserve to be happy...in the end, he was better off with me. But...as the black person, you are just supposed to suck it up...like you don't have feelings of your own. Just ugh. Sorry. Rant. Anyway, there was Brooks being messy with Caroline later on as if she was not just relating with Ayan and Lesa. And then she threw her own jealousy into the conversation when she knows Lesa and Caroline are prickly with each other. Flip flopper. SARA. Enjoyed her having fun. And then other than a slight hint of pot stirring (as if Ayan wouldn't say what she said to her face) between Ayan and Nina, she didn't do anything this episode. Bring on the finale!!!

THIS. But...he bounced back? I didn't care at all for the Dennisons...until they gave Megan something to do with someone the audience liked (Tony). And of course we know Tricia was aimed at Ryan and Nina only to wind up going cray cray. Hard to believe given their boring beginnings. Any time I hear about Veronica I think of an old college friend who loved the campy cray cray of Veronica and I can still 'that bitca Nikki' in my head. lol. But like someone said above...what made it funny was how self-absorbed the characters were that they did not notice a psycho was in their midst.
