Erika is in court fighting to keep the victims from getting Tom’s money so she can get it. I don’t buy anything she’s selling. She also knew about this since 2019 but is claiming on camera this was all a surprise to her. It’s hard for me to feel any sympathy for her when I’ve read the court documents and they prove she’s just plain lying. Nor has she made a case to have any sympathy for the other victims so I agree. Perhaps if she did...Some way...ANY kind of way...would go a long way to get people on her side. Maybe even over the very public court documents out there that anyone can read to see why people actually feel she is either guilty at most or know more than what she is telling at the least. And there have truly been enough to see in articles and online over the last year for sure (heck, how long have we been dropping articles here from all over as it was happening? hmmm) to give reason to NOT give the benefit of the doubt beyond the show. And even on the show her story is hard to swallow. And that is just fact, not even a like/hate fave/not-fave thing.

Yeah, I saw the first episode. And while intrigued, it's not there. YET. Monet is easily my favorite character. And I think it's safe to assume that at some point someone will hack that account. And...already renewed for Season 2.

HAHAHA Sami looks FIERCE in that last picture. So looks like things are going to move toward a Olympic cliffhanger. Niiiice.

Awwwwwww Ooooooo...something to look forward to... 7-7-21 Girl, bye. Leave it to Carly to make it all about her. LOL!!!! And awwww at Jason looking like a hurt puppy as he saw Britt with Jax. Meanwhile, Carly and Britt are giving good angry energy. I appear to be loving so much the building. The week appeared to be building plots. And since the ones it is building on is B and C plots that have been needing time to grow I've been enjoying them. Like for one...I LOVE the writers mixing Monica into the Brooklyn/Maxie baby switch. Is it too much to see her continuing down this road...along with the coming Quartermaine drama? We might not get her on the frontburner, but active supporting is looking great on her. Valentin, Anna, and the kiss. It just felt...earned. And how Anna is reacting is kinda like how she reacted to Luke. And here I feel she has a good match. So Spencer is doing the classic soap trope of pretending to be someone else. Who would have thought the kid who was all about his title would be acting like someone less? And of course Trina...who has no history with him...is seeing him and no one who has history has. Meanwhile, the potential is there. For so much. Jumpstarting the teens. Jumpstarting the stalker storyline. Speaking of jumpstarting...so Dev's storyline FINALLY comes to an end. And it looks like Cameron and Joss are finally going to be together. Meanwhile, Dante and Sam FINALLY kissed. I...didn't hate either one of those. Hehe...Liz fell asleep on Finn saying that he might be liking her. All these storylines...all these possibilities. Me likey.

I don't know. Given we already know the major feuds coming...not to mention a salad toss...a mini-feud a la Sutton vs Crystal (or a fun petty one like Kenya vs Sheree) can be what the doctor (sorry, Wendy) ordered. And since we know Mia vs Wendy will be more than likely more short-lived than Sutton vs Crystal since POTOMAC tend to keep it moving, some fun feuding can be fun. And like I said above Candiace and Ashley were giving fun shade energy so I'm good with that. And I'm sure we have all had that friend...if not been that friend. That just makes it relatable. Wendy probably just feels threatened now that she's in La Dame's good graces and here comes another newbie who is also vouching for La Dame's attention. But like you said, that can all change once the episode airs. I admit if anything come out of this season it will how Erika is making me up my shade game. Cuz she is making it too easy. lol.

Yes...you would think a diva like Erika would know...oh, wait!!! As for Rinna, it's been a whhhhhhhhhhhhilllllllllllllle since I've seen Lisa Rinna so it's nice to see her again. I would not at all mind if thye keep THIS version. Yeah, Robyn is always (outside of the clear friendship with Gizelle moments) better when she's away from Giz. She is totally the Cynthia. Uh oh... POTOMAC And then I OOPS!!!! LOL. Ashley and Candiace getting their life from the arguement took me out.

THIS.

Very good question. I really want to see where they go with the basic premise since half of the cast has 'aged out.'

I hate to admit, but...Sandoval is looking kinda foine. Also HEEEELLLLHO HOTTIE NEW GUY!!!

NJ OH...MY....GOD!!!! WHAT...IN...THE...WORLD...?

Cheap said it all, but yeah...Kenya came back like a boss in Season 12, but it wasn't long before her marriage crack started to show and she was bitter AF. Snakegate didn't help. Ahhhh Season 7...Team Pretty vs Team Beasts. Good times!!! OOooooo...things are about to get good.... Lol at Camille. I saw that, too and giggled so hard. But I stand by what I said after a second watch. Erika felt her most real in her very last confessional in the episode. You know I do not even like her and I feel for the most part she is 'acting' but that last scene actually felt raw to me...which honestly surprised me. And I lmfao at Rinna and her dresses. I felt sooooooooo old recognizing so many of her dresses. I'm curious. What did you see? Cuz other than this one moment when she was talking to Kyle, I think I might have missed it.

Tell it, Vee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm I'm not sure if I want Kenya on the warpath again a la Season 12. Maybe if she is more like Team Pretty Kenya from Season 7 when it comes to Porsha. Because right now, I think they completely exhausted their feud just like Nene and Kenya's got exhausted during Snakegate in Season 12. Don't get me started on DALLAS if those rumors about their casting are true. Since I've heard two different things. One I liked. The other...not so much. Since they decided to bring some production over from POTOMAC, I am definitely hopeful RHOA next season will have some potential with great followthrough given how good POTOMAC has been up to now. And we know those POTOMAC producers know how to be shady AND tell a coherent storyline. Hehe at the gifs.

Not CW not advertising that a new episode came on this week. SMH.

That's what we totally should have gotten. Porsha vs Falynn with everyone in the middle and Kenya all but willing to stir that pot. Then if Latoya was still around, a minifeud with her and ShebySheree. The season wrote itself. As for Drew...since the tweet in question was very quickly deleted from a reliable source...I believe there is some truth to it. Unless of course something changes. There's been tea for a while there is drama going on BTS at RHOA. Sounds like chaos.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. And I will probably read that article on my way to work. From what little I've seen on deleted tweet it seems like: ShebySheree is back. Drew got demoted. Cynthia was demoted. Kenya was right.

I'll say this much...over the last few days I've greatly enjoyed the discussion in here over Lucky and the history of recasts. Lord I remember when people were totally being recast to be sexier versions of Actor/Actress 1. And they usually fell flat. That said, it is making me miss Lucky. Ever now that Laura has been back for years. There's another Nik. And Spencer is now back on the canvas. And of course, there are the kids.

I noticed. Just means there was something to see when I got online at home. Helllllllo, Coach!!!

BH And it FINALLY begins... After teasing and hints, we have finally started to get into the 'orphans and burn victims' drama of Erika's storyline. And already it is clear of two things...1)I expect the midseason trailer to pop out between now and next week and 2) Bravo is going to draaaaaaaaaag this out COMPLETELY judging from the next week promo...pushing the idea that Tom was cheating...and I expect that judge she posted online about to come into play. In case you missed it during filming, Kyle, Dorit, and Kathy all got Co-Vid. And it was nice to see the show touch on it. So similar to how the OC did it, but taking a page from NJ and not staying on it. In fact, it worked for the flow of the episode I felt. And finally (fingers crossed), we arrive at (for now) a truce in the Sutton vs Crystal feud. Garcelle made a good moderator. Dorit brought the receipt on what Crystal said. Erika ironically asking for some compassion for Sutton. And also ironically Ex Soap Opera Star trying to keep Crystal honest. While I expect them to be fine...for now...I wonder what the next petty thing to happen will break their truce. It really has been an interesting feud for the first half of the season as we head into the second half of the season with Erika's storyline. KYLE. I found myself side-eyeing her. Why? I felt we had Producer Kyle a lot this episode. Moreso when she had her sitdown with Erika at the end. She does enough to not seem that way (talking to Garcelle after quarantine, her talk with Kathy, sitting back while the other ladies have Sutton's back with a comment here and there), but it felt like deflection from where she WAS producing. Said talk with Garcelle to discuss Erika. The fact we had a scene with Kathy to work on coming across as a good persona in this case Mother. Even with Co-Vid...here she was in a 3way talk with Erika and Ex Soap Opera Star. Funnily enough I felt she was at her most real before the first break when she reveals she, Dorit, and Kathy got Co-Vid to Ex Soap Opera Star. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. I feel sooooooooooooooooooo old. Because I recognized ALL OF THOSE CELEBRITY DRESSES she had from soap awards and events she went to. I would say 2 for 2 on her being relatable this week. I did giggle at the subtle shade Sutton threw her way in Confessional about the odds of Sutton's daughter (her oldest who appeared this week and people online say is going to school in France) hanging with Ex Soap Opera Star's daughters. I guess I should say everything NOT having to do with Erika's storyline is when she echoed Lisa Rinna again for me. Otherwise, there she was trying to either help Erika's narrative or being the friend she NEVER was for LVP. DORIT. Once she got Co-Vid...other than a brief flashback, she vanished from the episode. And that brief scene was relatable. And her shading Sutton for Sutton shading Crystal's leather pants is on brand for her. I also liked she helped settle this Crystal vs Sutton feud. SUTTON. Oh, she got one of her children to film!!!! Yay!!! And she looks so much like her mother. Meanwhile, I have to giggle at her admitting she was jealous of Crystal in her Confessional. That said...I felt Crystal kinda won this round of their feud. I did like the others had Sutton's back...especially Garcelle. Going forward, I will need Sutton to stand up for herself more. To paraphrase her...are we going to be honest or not? GARCELLE. She continued to be a straight shooter here and we know I live for her standing up for her BFF. And she still listened to Crystal's point of view. However...she was like ENOUGH. I liked her scene with Kyle, too. Yeah, they have come a long way from the reunion, haven't they? I did feel that what she said in the confessional and giving Erika the benefit of the doubt was contradicted by the looks she was giving when Kyle was talking to her about the articles about Tom and Erika though. CRYSTAL. Well...at least she gave a kind of apology. SMH. I give her props for standing up for herself. KATHY. I found myself side-eying. Still loved the 'Life is a poker game...' comment. ERIKA. BUT... But I will say this much...Erika actually was trying to sell it this week. Moreso than the last few episodes. And I could almost believe her. But here...that's when knowing a bit of what's going on in her case come in. LIke the fact Tom transferred 20 million to her before she filed for divorce. Or the fact that at no time has she acknowledging caring about the orphans and burn victims. And the fact that what she had on display tonight contradicts her online presence where she has been nothing but a heartless bitca. So... In fact, I honestly feel that there was only ONE moment...that I did feel was just a show. Or that she was fake. And it was not at all when she was sitting down with Kyle. It was her very last Confessional during that sitdown. The words. The tone. The look of sadness. Those tears looked real and not like her sitdown at all. Probably the most authentic she has EVER been on the show. But too little, too late...

Same.

I agree. Promotion done good. But people hating under it when it beat out NY AND BH's premiere. I wonder how it will look when they add DVR viewing. I agree about Bershan. Her first two episodes were good and intriguing. But I do feel like she was all of a sudden went left and was doing things to start something. Nice to watch, but still there will probably be side-eye. We will see how I feel next week. WOW.

Simply your perspective. You have said you have been perusing this thread so you already know that we have different views on these girls. You also know, as the lovely Cat mentioned they are subject to change. Again different strokes. *shrugs* Bile? Well...again...everyone have seen the seasons and tend to explain pretty well why they feel this way about them and will probably speak up about them again. That is what happens when viewers watch these shows over a season. Or two. If it is going to trigger you, like I said before several months back you are going to be in for a bumpy ride, given your likes, your dislikes, and our various opinions on how Production works. There is no need to police people over it or throw out backhanded compliments about it. We are all going to have opinions and should be free to express them whether they are the majority or the minority. Otherwise...why be here? The lovely Soaplovers and I for example have very different opinions on Housewives and still joke, kiki, debate, and be civil without comments that appear to be oversensitive, condescending, or bad shady vs fun shady. But...Yes!!! By all means, let us get to the program itself, being mindful, good spirited, and if we must be shady let it be fun shady...rather than for example Erika Jayne amnesia shady. I kid!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELLLLLLLL OOOOOOOOO!!!! That better be a lie!!! Wasted potential if so. And he STILL looks good. Meanwhile...lol. 6-5 BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see him and see him and Britt bond. Can't we get him out of jail along with Shawn, too? EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....my eyes at Britt and Jax. I...I can't. I am still recovering from Jason breaking Britt's heart and how great those scenes were and THIS happen. I do love that they finally got back around to reveal the Dev's fake diary page though I do wish he was around for the fallout. NuSpencer is good with me and I already see chemistry with Trina. I love at the start of this episode that Cameron and Jake are having a scene together. But I like Liz and her kids so...

SLIDERS memories die hard, I know.
