Same.

Ugh. Over him. TONIGHT!!! Re: RHOM. Could you imagine Gina at that table with LVP? Wow!!! Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhatttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah that is some bs. Yaaasss!!! Kenya was giving BOSS BITCA and that white power suit and I LIVE!!! Yeah, I am really not liking how they are doing RHOA. And it makes me wonder if they are punishing them for what others (read: Nene) are doing outside the show. Since for better or worse, this franchise is the house she built. If it is the podcast I'm thinking of Tonya Harding did get them to spill some tea. And there was some juicy tea dropped yesterday that GARCELLE got asked to do one and she said point blank and period she would do it with Tamra and Tamra ONLY. NO GNATS ALLOWED.

lol. Yes, I've said and still say I'm counting down the minutes as I slowly catch up. So I see above it's coming and I cannot wait.

4-19 HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I KNOW CARTER DIDN'T was my immediate reaction to Carter and Quinn. Good they are playing the beat that Carter and Quinn had an affair. And those feelings just don't go away. So regardless of the abruptness of it popping up, I liked the history is being played in this Carter/Paris/Zende storyline. Moreso because was it not Paris that blew up Zoe/Carter over Quinn? She should be in the mix of this all. Hmmm...what is Bridget not saying about Steffy's case? I liked that Steffy is getting back slowly. Good mix of episodes but I wonder if they are stalling out story again. We'll see. ETA: Whhhhhhatttttttttt!!!! Just when I was picking, the writers threw out that twist. Okay, Steffy losing that much memory is sooooooo soapy. It's delicious. BUT that triangle AGAIN? Ugh.

4-19 Well, you know you have good adversary energy when I want to see someone slap another. And at least I can say that for Sharon and Chelesa. It does make me wonder if it being abruptly brought and from what glance here if Sharon might go vengeful widow on her. Le sigh. I felt the Ashland story finally got some traction to it finally. But you all are right. The reveal of Victoria finding out Ashland faked his cancer was so...lifeless. I was actually shocked since over the last week I had actually started to engage with the storyline more if only because I knew AH can give good bitca when the writers allow her to. It did get some energy leading up to the car crash (THANK YOU, NIKKI!!!), but I cannot believe after building to this...it landed with a THUD. There isn't anything about Diane's return that I'm not loving right now. ESPECIALLY her sitting in her hotel room after being confronted by Phyllis. Getting up to date on everyone (hehe her reaction to Nikki). The marks of a good schemer. Good knows this show needs one. And I see Nikki's about to FINALLY find out. Can't wait.

So Marge lied again? re: The storm out. Shocking. And Andy can have all the seats. YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS, HUUNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIII!!!! You are not alone, my friend!!! I...and my wine...are R-E-A-D-Y!!!

RHOM Slower than the first two episodes, but just as good. One of the movers and shakers for this series has always been Adriana. So it was a shock to see she did not have a mojito. But this episode was a fresh reminder of the fact that she is fascinating to watch. It was also a reminder that Adriana is MESSY. M-E-S-S-Y. I could see why the other girls are side-eyeing the friendship between her and Julia. Adriana is the prime age for when a woman might discover a late in life same sex relationship...something we have been speculating over for the last few months for the charcter of Alexis in the GH monthly thread. They definitely have chemistry. And to bring on the mess of having TWO dates at a gallery showing for Julia's WIFE...and Julia knowing NONE of this (and the look on her face was priceless). Not to mention Martina being unaware of how close they are (for now). Just...wow. Who does she think she is? ALEXIA?? LOL. Alexia continued to be what telenovelas are made of. We dived into her relationship with Todd. The drama with the ex-husband's ex-lover continued. And we got to see her life during Pride as she got an award. Interesting (and juicy) stuff. We got a little bit more info on the other characters (and saw more of the fabulousness of Kiki) that it was all easy breezy...how I like my HW shows. Can't wait for Adriana vs Guerdy this week. And just a fresh trivia reminder that The BH Housewives were ALSO in Dubai at the same time. And if I remember correctly the SAME hotel as the Melbourne girls. The crossover that SHOULD have happened.

Well, my tv system wanted to mess up, BUT Tubi was working. So I dived into MELBOURNE SEASON 1. Looking forward to seeing Gina in ALL her glory...

Two Things: @Juliajms love the new avatar. Portia definitely has been fierce. AND...so they messed up the potential of Harmony and Alexis by having her killing ANOTHER guy. Lord... PS. On 4-19...and I see it is GYM DAY. HEEEEELLLL-HOOOOO DREW AND TJ. WOOF!! lol.

I will take Sharon Case anyway I can get her, but the last few years I admit that I've been sadden she's been doing this since she was soooo naturally beautiful to me. I still think she is. I remember during Mal Young's run how people were commenting and I didn't realize how bad it had gotten cuz I stopped watching regularly in the middle of Mal Young's run and around when Hilary died. Then I popped in and felt uncomfortable. I am happy that I was able to watch her go off on Ashland the other day and was no way distracted.

That's what I've been saying as well. Why is Bridget getting such play now? And staying for a while? I was hoping she might be hiding that Finn is alive. But barring that, I do wonder what her upcoming story will be.

I liked @Errol's article on her and I'm definitely intrigued by what she'll bring to the table.

Boy, bye.

4-15 Well, I bet you all are laughing at Chase staying at Liz's house. lol. But at least that means we should get a turn in the Liz story soon since Chase solves everything. But wow at the turnaround. HA at Spencer admitting he is trying to set Esme up. And teaming up with Cameron. Interesting. I also see NuTrina is getting even more comfortable in her skin. Nice. So unless there is a twist coming, Willow is Nina's daughter. Le sigh. In any case, Team Nina. And we know CW can play vixen. So game on. And before I forget...Rory's introduction is being done right. We just saw him in scenes in the background. Finally spoke. And has been gradually seen more. And I do feel there was a bit of spark between him and NuTrina. And if the possibility makes Spencer realize his feelings for Trina...well...lol.

#preach

4-15 Well played, writers. You know viewers are digging into Diane's return more than anything. So they are spacing that the heck out. Good because that will make people want to tune in waiting for her to appear. However, you better have something else going on to hold a person's image. IMHO this past week's Mariah/Tessa montage ain't it. Thankfully...outside of Adam's whining...the Ashland story has gotten somewhat more interesting. But that could be because everything I see him, I swooooooooned. Oh, Joshua. lol. Robert Newman turned up the heat this week. And I could see while Victoria flinched as his intensity came to the fray. And that just means RN is doing a great job. I could almost forget that he's been lying to her. Almost. But getting back to Diane...lol...I loved that Jack sat them down and told them. And I LIVE for all of Ashley's reactions. But I think it is known how much I love Eileen Davidson. And I liked before Jack told them the truth, Jack compared Allie to her. I know it had been mentioned on the threads possible story ideas for Allie and a possible mentonship between Ashley and Allie would be nice. Diane pulling her low key Alexis Carrington entrance was a hoot. But...nothing much to hold my interest though I liked that I was actually interested in the Ashland story now. Oh...and good to see Sharon. And I loved her calling Ashland out. But that reminds me of something that I liked this week. Someone was focused on continunity by bringing up Sharon's cancer, the lawsuit of Victor vs his kids where he LOST, there was a third thing that caught my interest, but it has slip my mind. But good to see someone paid attention this week. at least.

4-15 SHUT UP, RIDGE!!! Well, I like that the writers remember that Sheila is a nurse, but surprised they are going the 'Steffy woke up and Steffy has amnesia' route with JMS going on ML. Or is this what she will do...be in bed until that is over. I did like that Thomas had enough brain to ask Sheila point blank if she shot Steffy. So first Brooke pops up after being MIA for a week. And now we have Paris and Zende (nice braids, Paris! ) after weeks where we were left on a cliffhanger if Paris and Carter are even together? Just...wow. I thought it was a good week. Way to keep the momentum going. Or if not the momentum, just the suspence. So...well done. Though I don't know where Sheila can even go from here. At least, the writers are trying something with her and Taylor bonding over death. But...that is just stalling. So...what's next?

I was happy too. From what little I've heard, read, and seen of his character, I'm surprised he is not used more. And there are plenty of ladies in his age group I believe. Or heck, he and Kate could be a power couple...unless they dislike each other.

That there puts a whole new spin on Nene vs Kim during the Season 10 reunion when Nene kept baiting her about how did she get a spinoff. Hmmm... Meanwhile...

4-14 Really, Sheila??? But...I didn't see Taylor and Sheila bonding over death coming. And Brooke! I had wondered when she would show up during all of this. I do like that the suspense has been building throughout. Still hoping for a fakeout. Perhaps Bridget knows something we don't.

Li is going to be on this? That said...I don't know how I feel about this. Bo died. Yes, I know which show I'm talking about, but... Oh to see Bo and Hope together again...mmmmm.

RHOA First sneak peek!!! YAAASSSSS!!!! Can't wait until tonight. POTOMAC AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RHOP Hehehe. A moment.

RHOP Love every moment of it. The spotlight was on La Dame, hunni!!! And for me, she was spectacular!!! Did @VirginiaHamilton watch? hehe. I almost wanted to watch the episode later because it's been a rugby weekend for me. But I could use the break from the hot men and focus on La Dame Grande. I know there are plenty of people who felt she could not carry a show without the others in the DMV. But I felt she has enough of a personality to carry something as short of this (2 episodes...though after tonight I would have mind 5 episodes top just because I felt we were getting a lot and even I found it hard to keep up with the family tree). She...did not disappoint. Legacy. As black people, yes, that can be a big thing. Especially when your family goes back centuries. And La Dame was not wrong. Most families...it usually takes something bad like a funeral to get people to regroup. I know my family on my father's side tries to do family reunions as best they can. But we all have such different lives even though a bunch of us are grouped around St. Louis and Arkansas respectively. That was why I did like being best man in my brother's wedding (though he scheduled it around my bday...the only time he knew I would be off guaranteed hehe). I got to see a lot of my late father's side of the family and we got so many pictures. And I was kinda sad another of my cousins was engaged because I knew I would not be around for the wedding. This was all pre-pandemic, but I was happy to hear they did get married. I have another cousin who still tries to get us together as best she can...my cousin I always mention here since she and I usually watch RHOA and RHOP across time zones. This year she has been following her lifelong dream to be a nurse and I've been cheering her on for years so it's been great to see her going after her dreams and accomplishing them while staying humble. Love her. But I went off on a rant. LOL. The point was...we as black families do tend to get together for black news, but good news...??? So good to see her trying to organize something. And let me start with La Dame's family. Sorry to not see her son wasn't around for this. But OMG her daughter!!!! She has really, really grown. And look where she's been. Globetrotting bringing fashion just like her mama. And she was such a fun mini-Kuurren while staying humble. And Ray...was Ray. And hahahaha at him and La Dame being stronger than ever with the family reunion dancing. And wait...it's been a minute...did we know this was La Dame's SECOND marriage? I feel like it was briefly mentioned. As for her extended family. I liked them a lot. Ms. Val though with her guns... Being from Arkansas, other I hollered at them and the names. And Le Dame with the caterer kikiing over Ms. Val having a man who was 20 years younger...and her son's reaction since they were friends...oops. Messy. lol. But her son is messy, too, doing that swerve to wake up his sisters. And I love that they want to stay around the farm and keep it going. Stay in the family. And who didn't have that uncle who you and your sibling have to double team on. Just saying. It was just so relatable to me. And resonating so well. Bonus...I love Gizelle and Wendy were out there promoting the show.
