Taoboi

Just watched this morning. WORTH...THE...WAIT. The slight build in action. The camera angles. Nikki's reaction. And most importantly...YES the musical cues. It was delicious. Get her, Nikki!!!!

RHOA FINALLY!!! I felt like they took too long to get back to us. A telling sign of that...I had forgotten that Kenya was on DANCING WITH THE STARS. That could have taken up some episodes. I loved it was at least referenced. There's nothing like things going on in people's lives, but we the audience heard nothing about it. It was a good premiere. And this cast definitely POPS in my opinion. From Marlo getting her peach to ShebySheree's return to Sanya being introduced and already mixing it up, it was like a nice start to a new era. So much so Production gave shoutouts to Porsha (Not Ashy), Cynthia, and Nene...letting the audience know they are important to the legacy of this show...but we are turning a corner. And I'm here to see it. Which brings us to the two things. Marlo's event. And the drama already starting with Ralph. I loved Marlo's event. So much fashion. Some celebrity. And at least Production trying to give a somewhat logical reason to what Marlo's money. Of course we know better. But this idea is sound. Who knows how Marlo clothes people in the industry and I really had to think about that. But that could be my years watching THE CITY showing. And as for Ralph...I had heard the rumors for whether that would be a storyline. And...? I said at the end of last season that they were going to drag Drew for how she sidekicked for Porsha last season. So...not surprised. That said...it was a great start to the season. And Kenya, Marlo, Kandi, and ShebySheree kiki-ing at the start was awesome. And I want more of that. It just felt so much lighter, breezy, fun. KENYA. I said on my page and I'll say it now. Of course, Drew would go ahead and apologize. She spent all of last season coming for her. But with no backup from vets this season, she had to go and kiss that ring. Love how unbothered Kenya was by it. But Kenya was fun and living life. And I now have her crush on her dancing partner. hehe. And it was nice to see Brooklyn without her face being block out. And I love her light shade. But it's sad that the feud with Marlo appears to be starting already due to Sanya and Sheree's pot stirring. And I was soo in awe of the white dress she wore to Marlo's event. SHEBYSHEREE. Don't call it a comeback...call it a TAKEOVER. I'll say this much. One thing that Sheree is good at...is poking fun at herself. Heck, she poked fun at the fact that she's broke tonight. So it was nice to see her continue to do the same. But I'm glad she's back in all her delusional glory. And I'm looking forward to seeing how things with Tyrone goes since originally he refused to film. But he DOES come around. And look at her pot stirring between Marlo and Kenya. She fit in soooo well and flawless. And I can already tell she's not here for Drew. Looking forward to the start of their feud. KANDI. Let me get it out of the way right now...I LOVE she was serving 80s realness in her new Confessional with the leather top and total curly 80s hair. More please. And I love she was being messy this episode...I know KANDI? Really? That she picked up on the inconsistencies in Ralph's story. That SHE went and found the assistant online. And then pot stirred with Drew. SANYA. I like her. Though during her intro scenes with Drew, it clicked who she was. I know. I didn't know it was THAT Sanya. Oooooooo....intrigued by her. Now sure how I feel about ShebySheree taking her under her wing and already have her stirring the pot to get Marlo vs Kenya starting. But so far, I like her presence, her vibe, and intriguing family life. And like most newbies, she did not come across as awkward in the group scenes at all. You woud think she had always been there if you didn't know better. DREW. Le sigh. I think we all know that Latoya was my favorite last season over Drew. So outside of foine husband, she was just doing too much. Heck, she's still doing too much. I loved Kandi and Sanya already shading her. No matter how she acts she will NEVER be a Kenya Jr. At least she was smart enough to kiss the ring at Marlo's event and apologize from go to Kenya. But she clearly ain't too smart if she thinks that is going to save her from her well deserving dragging for backing Porsha last season. So I fully expect her to take her licks. That said...this Ralph storyline...might save her. We'll see. MARLO. SHE GOT HER PEACH, YOU'ALL!!! HAHAHA!!! I admit...I like seeing the family side to her. While she still puts on airs...I still felt those scenes were MOSTLY real. And she is out living life. But...she should have been wise to what Sanya and Sheree was doing. But perhaps it was the point of wanting her night to be prefect and also the memories of 'KENYA MOOR HAIR-CARE!!!!' but she overreacted. I like that Kenya did not take the bait...YET...cuz the season just started and we don't need that feud yet. However, I don't know if I would say Marlo can't read. SEASON 4 MARLO COULD AND DID READ...PEOPLE...DOWN. And I giggled at her (and ShebySheree's) montage in the episode. She's come a loooooooong way since Africa. And next week...the Ralph drama begins and we might get a new group of Househusbands, too...I'm down.

Not Bravo messing up the airtime for the premiere on the West Coast...

That's VERY interesting. I am catching up and I am sure that will color things a little, but best to know now. Sounds like Production is covering because other than the wealth Heather brings...what else would the season bring other than a Shannon takedown season...what else would the season? That show needs a live wire. And Tamra is gone. So is Kelly. So is Braunwyn. And while she is no Kenya, Noella is being that live wire. It will be interesting to see how next season go? Will Production keep covering or are they setting up Noella for a fall?

Wow. Honestly shocked at that. It would have been nice to see more aftermath once I got to watching. Alas. Good to see they are looping back to Laura though.

I saw the TV Line article and thought the same thing. Would love to see her. Bonus...you know people would watch.

Who are the two people?

That hard Vermont weather...from what I heard from someone I met at the laundromaut last week who funnily enough was from Vermont.

I just can't believe he is actually going to pop up. And does that mean he might pop up on the main show, too? Cuz ewww.

Olivia Pope would like to have a word. 😜 But seriously, I'm happy to see so many people were down for NOLA RW back in the day. And good to hear that Melissa is still being THAT bitca. It definitely sounds like Danny is going to have an arc. From icon to haunted. Sounds like one of my characters. hehe.

RHOMelbourne Well...and I love the title of the first episode...first impressions... ANDREA. Not annoying...yet...but so very self-absorbed so far. Attempting to be witty, but feels like for show. LYDIA. I admit that I was expecting Lydiot. Right now she seems so ordinary. But yes...as mentioned, you could already see that she's very 'hide the hand and act innocent.' How...Kyle of her. lol. It was who got the ball rolling with Jackie vs Gina. And I believe that will be what turns into everyone against Gina. We'll see. I'm on Episode 3. JACKIE. Ooooo...I always knew she was quirky. After all, shine, shine, shine. hehe. But I didn't realize who her husband was. Ha! I'm back in high school again! I liked her so far though, but it is funny that at some point it feels like she will be accepted when so far the show started as the rich versus the underdog rich. Liked everyone's reaction to her. JANET. Thank @Cat for letting me know she will find someone. I am liking her as a divorced woman so far trying to get back on the horse. So relatable. And her humor at herself has been cute to watch. CHYKA. OMG!!!! #GOALS. Business. Foine chef husband. Wealth. I love everything about her so far. GINA. Yeah, she had spark from GO!!! And I love it. Even if I feel she is going to hard on Jackie. But she has a refreshing self-awareness that I already like. I can't wait to see what she does next. And do I have to even mention...the wealth. Congrats for sure. I had no idea. That does make me wonder though if that is why he has been on edge.

Ikr. Time management done right. Nope. Everyone has given their opinion on the recast and I'm pretty sure you were not alone on Day 1 of that. And I even mentioned when I liked her. but you do you, Boo.

A week actually if you are keeping up. And recast talk as per usual. Nice try though.

*shivers at the mention of a Giggly Heffa hug* Yeah, let's not. hehe.

Hahahahaha!!!! No. Also ha!!!

RHOM Well...Adriana vs Guerdy? Who would have thought? I've already said that Adriana was a mover and shaker on this show because she was messy. And this past episode, she really was. In fact, she seem green at Guerdy and Julia bonding. Growing closer. But I couldn't help but wonder if it was because they were bonding or if it was because the attention was not on her. That said...that did not take away from the fact Guerdy was messy, too!!! She knew good and well what she was doing when she continued to needle Adriana about the feet rubbing. ESPECIALLY in Martina's presence. Both of them were high voltage and it was great to watch. Mmmmmm I could understand Guerdy to be honest. My past is not a good one and I have had my dark days. So to be able to survive that with a positive outlook is something to inspire to. And yeah...it makes you a little bit...extra. Seize the day indeed. And why back down from anyone? Especially someone as extra and messy as yourself...which Adriana was being. Can't two women bond over losing children? Guess not. And then...Martina...GUUUUURRRRRL!!!! Can she get a mojito? lol. She was going toe to toe with Adriana, too, and I loved it. If she did not know about Julia and Adriana...SHE DOES NOW!!! And she was gathering. LOVE. Meanwhile...Alexia's drama with the ex-husband's gay lover ends. NOT her drama, mind you. See...promo for next week with Peter vs Todd. But...it's safe that we didn't get to see the ex-lover. But...given what he does for a living (thank you Twitter for the tea. )...yeah, I can understand why. I did love that there was at least some resolution by Alexia, Marysol, and her gay friend even if it was like an episode of JG's Y&R. Another good episode.

The girls continuing to do what Bravo clearly are not doing enough...promoting. 😜

So...given what's going on...this should be interesting. May Sleeps...or finally...May Sweeps? Discuss!!!

Honestly...can't wait.

First of all, thank you. I appreciate the spoiler tags since I didn't know that news. Funny given the soap thread in question. Second of all, wow at the news period.

4-22 3 for 3 on shows having good weeks. I guess all the soaps are getting ready for May Sweeps. Here we have stories that were lingering either as B or C stories (the mystery of Hat Daddy, Liz's stalking, and The battle for ELQ...4 if you count Harmony/Alexis/Willow) and they are moving to A story front. Where do I even begin? Was I reading this scene correctly and Spinelli was Britt's date? Cuz how Cyrano (which just had a new version just coming out recently) of them. Cuz...would she? In any case, I DID like Britt vibing with Jake. And I liked Jake considering his next step Q stock wise. I continue to roll my eyes every time Esme and Nik come on. But again, that goes to tell me that AP is doing a great job cuz I just want to slap her. And I definitely shake my head at how Nik appears to be fooled. Part of me is hoping that he and Ava are just scheming to get the goods on her. Meanwhile, the teens are getting play though I agree with Cameron and they should tell the girls. But...that would be easy and we can't have that. lol. At this rate, I expect the girls to learn the truth just as Trina and Rory (who has been introduced as a newbie should be introduced) start to date and Esme winds up around Cameron as a pariah. I am definitely down for what is going to happen. Moreso since this is part of a bigger story with Ryan. I am still loving the Liz story. It has been building nicely. Though it appears the outcome is on point for what we speculated here. I just hope the reveal scenes are worth it. FINALLY!!! And by finally, I mean that Curtis got the file on Hat Daddy. Which reminds me that I liked Portia vs Jordan. No offense, Jordan, but Portia tore her up. Which was to be expected from a Mama Bear. And now Ms. Wu is side-eyeing Jordan, too? Yeah, I look forward to seeing how that develops. But I hate that they are putting on hold what was in that file, but I loved that the writers have worked hard to form a connection between Hat Daddy and Trina. And Harmony? Talk about abrupt 180s. Or is it just me? And now a Friday cliffhanger with her and Carly and the fireplace? I felt she had potential with Alexis, not to mention the Willow time bomb going on. But the scene where she was getting aggressive with Alexis just screamed abrupt writing change for me. Then again, I guess it was done when she killed Neil's brother. And highlight of the week? Laura bailing out her grandsons. Laura is love.

4-22 SHUT UP, BROOKE!!! LOL!!! I think that sums up how I felt about this week. It was a good one, but there were times that I had to roll my eyes at Brooke and Hope. The girl just got shot. Let the girl cope. Within reason. And this was within reason. Thank God, Taylor's claws came out!! And KA played that sooooo well. And thank you Bridget for having her back. Brooke just could not deal. Oh, look!!! The Carter/Paris/Zende storyline came back finally. It felt so abrupt though. They were better off having Zende popping up alone. And then we got the status on Carter/Paris. Still...I did like how the writers looped back around to Carter/Quinn. Dare I say...uh oh? Wow!!! Ridge having sympathy for Sheila. Color me shocked. And Friday was classic Friday cliffhanger. And those camera angles were something else. Will Steffy remember? Will Sheila get caught? Hmmm...

4-22 That was a pretty good week. Outside of Adam's whining that is. And now we have Rey's death to add to the mix of stories going on. Which is basically three...this, Diane's return, and the Ashland story. I definitely don't agree with the fact the last we saw of the Rey the actor was him with Sharon, Chelesa, and Connor. And then...GONE. Perhaps there is a twist coming ( @Khan love your fanfic btw and really loved that you do what the best writers CAN do, you take a character you know you don't like and actually use them. six month rule from Marland's new HW rules?), but as is...yeah, that was abrupt. At least it was centered around Sharon enough for me that I loved it and I know I teared up when Nick walked into Crimson Lights to tell her and she...just knew. And I continued to feel a way as she was shown the next day with her family...which I will give some credit to NuNoah for having a bit of that Robert Adamson vibe with Nick...and she had to tell Celeste. It would be nice to see Eva La Rue again, but we will see. Speaking of the Rosales, is Lola still in town? In any case, it has held my interest outside of Chelesa and Adam...though it was nice to see Adam not whine and be a dad to his son as he explained what was happening to Connor. I do wonder if Sharon is going to get angry in her grief and do something crazy. As for Ashland and Victoria...le sigh. Is Victoria about to completely blame herself...leaving her vulnerable to Ashland? Is he still leaving town? One never knows with these writers. Given the abruptness of Rey turning up dead...anything is possible. And like I said...they know they are stretching out Diane's return. LOL!!! The last we saw of her was Phyllis revealing she knew she was in her hotel. And then...BAMF!!! No sign. I just feel the writers continue to know people want to see how that story is going to go so they are throwing up twists in their other stories to try to hook viewers tuning in. But the good stuff is coming I see. So can't wait.

YAAASSSSSSSSSSSS, PEEEEACHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That said...I would say Marlo, Sanya, and ShebySheree are my favorites. I do like them all though. The play on words they are all giving. If anything lets me down, it's the fact that Production didn't do a total new one. I find that worrying for what's to come. Especially since like OC, this will be a transitional season.
