I admit that I was wondering why there are articles about RH's status all of a sudden. She was having story and it was trucking along. Now that I got to last week...I can see why. The abruptness of Finn all up in her story was the very definition of putting circle in a square peg and it showed.

LOL!!! I figured. It had flow...now...not so much and GH is a good actor but he is clearly propping which makes me already dislike the character.

Imma gonna mind my business, Nathan. RME. I'm back on Season 3 so I cannot wait to get to that episode. lol. Jealousy sure is a disease. Hope he gets well soon.

@xtr great to see your comments again and good to see someone else enjoying. I feel like at some point Shauna was mentioned. I just can't remember if they said she was still living at the house or if she had moved out. And I saw in the latest issue of SOD that Darin Brooks has a lot of projects he's working on (I want to say three off the top of my head, one a series for Apple+).

6-17 They gave Ms. Wu a henchman??? YASSSSSSSSS!!!! Boss Bitca!!! And she played that scene to the hilt. Just in case, anyone thought she was getting soft by how she interacted with Sonny...uh NOPE. This scene with Cody was just what the doctor ordered to remind everyone that Ms. Wu IS a MOB BOSS. Another thing I liked so far this week...Felicia vs Esme and Ryan. The writers are at least working overtime to find things for Kristian Wagner to do...something that I was at least worried about post-Peter's death but they keep having her pop up with things. And I liked they played the history between her and Ryan. Wise words Esme should probably listen to given how impatient Ryan is getting per that fantasy of his going off on Mac and tearing his noses off. Love Trina being pro-active about busting Esme. Though her and Joss should have chased that guy down. Speaking of Chase...mmmmmmm chest hair and beard back. And I was not hating on his bubble either. Can we keep Robert Adamson as Michael. He has the right vibe and he's easy on the eyes. Why do I feel that is not the end of Marshall's story. Schizophrenia? Not sure if I believe it. And if true, kinda anticlimactic. Ugh. Here I was excited for Liz. And I should have known better. And STILL this doctor has hijacked her story AND HER KIDS. And while I'm happy to see Wyatt (okay, the actor who is growing into a pretty decent actor from his OLTL days)...BOY, BYE. Can't Liz's story be about...LIZ? Or better yet...let it be about Laura and Liz. There is so much to mine there. And just NO to Carly and Jake. Though CM looks fit AF coming out of that pool, wet and all. All he was missing was his beard. Is Spinnili really going through all this trouble to pull a Cyrano on Britt or is he even Spin? Starting to wonder if this is a double story at this point. I am looking forward to the ELQ board meeting. It's gotten juicier as time has gone on. And I really want to see if Ned is going to wipe that smirk off Michael's face. Also liked Lucy was not forgotten. Hmmm...I at least feel Carly and Liz have gone the distance enough that I can believe in them burying the hatchet just due to being parents and their kids dating. However, I do wish they would not forget their history at times since Jason's spectre should make it easy for those two to get to feuding again like was mentioned above with how easy the writers on Y&R and OLTL always were ready to resurrect Jill/Kay, Dorian/Viki after periods where they were civil to each other. I cannot speak for Carly's friendships with Sam or even Olivia. Sam especially was pretty vicious so to see them as talk-tos will always be jarring for me.

Le sigh....

Yep, yep. And it is going to be vicious and I expect bombs on outside of work activities to be dropped. But...WOW. This makes me feel so kinda of way. I feel for all of my female friends right now. I know of one close friends that will be having to deal with a lot of our Arkansan female friends dealing with the ignorance of it all so my heart goes out to everyone. It was put out there into law for a reason. It had been there for decades for a reason. To see it just overturned...just...wow.

Well tbf...have we not always said that you could put ANY of the RHOA Housewives in any of the cities, and they would come across as a strong personality...whether it was someone like Nene all the way to someone like...hmmm Deshawn? Especially versus something like take a HW from another city and putting them in RHOA (cuz they would eat Erika Payne alive on that show). Kenya proved it with the first ALL STARS and it sounds like Shady Phae Phae and Eva the Diva are going to prove it with the second one.

YAAASSSSS!!!! I knew as soon as they announced they were heading back to MC that Brad would cook up a tale. CooL!!!

lol. Yep, yep. Payback from last week where Sheila was throwing her around like a rag doll.

Wait!!! I have a catfight coming?

@DramatistDreamer I know I'm looking forward to the episode as well. I love both actresses and characters so I am definitely curious and can't wait for the flashback. Show has been on point with that as of late for sure.

@Chris B not famous enough? lol. But yeah. The fact that my supervisor went to the concert and had video and you would have never known how they were earlier in the day. smh. And THANK YOU (and @Cat and @Soaplovers) for all the Linda tea. It was not registeriing that you all were talking about Brody Jenner (le sigh HILLS)'s mom. Wow. Small world and she did soooooo much I see. I'm intrigued. And that OC TEA??? I'm still working my way through the current OC season (I'm on the Heather/Gina in NY episode) and NJ, but I cannot believe it. I was happy to see Heather back, but she has to see that she needs an enemy to be relevant right now and Noella appears to be giving just that. I guess it is telling that Nicole and Noella are still friends though. And it makes the clips of Noella mentioning Nicole has a tale and she would not say what it was even more interesting.

6-8 Okay, where did Spencer/Esme/Nik/Ava go? That story has vanished just to deal with Josh Kelly's character's appearance. Any early predictions on who he is? I was thinking another Holt, making him another Q. That said...I did not see Dex working for Michael coming? Not sure how that is going to work out. If this was back when Michael disowned Sonny and took the Q name after AJ's death, I could see it. I don't know where it will go, but I hope it is messy. Yeah, I do feel like the Trina trial is treading water. I love how Laura is part of Liz's storyline given her own history with mental illnesses. Sorry though...the show seems like it is back in setup mode with no momentum. Le sigh.

6-13 So...Phyllis exploded and it broke up her and Jack. Shammmme. *side-eye* Not surprised, but I have to say those scenes were pretty good. I liked that Jack did factor in the fact that they had been here before and how hard it was for him to forgive Phyllis and be open. And now she BAMF!!! Perfect for Diane to move in on him. So I see a Jill sighting! I see a Nikki vs Diane sighting! I have really liked this meager party. It was nice to see Nate override Devon. The potential for a rivalry has been there since this latest recast. And I loved the flashback since I was just stopping regularly viewing when the Nate/Elena affair happened. I wish Olivia would show up and gain this some traction. And we know I'm loving some Imani. Yesssss, she's slowly and surely making her move. I think they are all going to underestimate her. So watch out.

6-16 oOOOOO how I hollered at Sheila throwing Li around like a rag doll. You know you are crazy when Sheila is calling YOU cray cray. That said...I've been enjoying Battle of the Mamas since Li went to visit Sheila in jail...gonly for Sheila to escape (nice to have cameo from Ken!!!). And watching Ridge and Taylor panic was telling. Speaking of telling...HOPE stumbled onto the Eric/Donna affair. Katie must have been missing. That said...it was nice to see a Katie sighting a few days ago. And I loled at Bridget getting roped into the story as well. To pivot off the comments from a few days back (and liked you liked it @Soapsuds) Scott Clifton has even improved on his bod since the last time I saw it and I know his workout routine so jealous. It's weird that the Paris/Zende/Carter triangle has now turned into Carter just using her to get over Quinn...who he is not over. That is just sad for Paris. I guess Mama Grace was right.

RHOM So they all woke up and chose violence? Oh, this episode was great!!! Alexia's bachalorelette party. Alexia has been mostly background the last few episodes regardless of being the basis to the current Nicole vs Marysol feud. It was nice to see the pivot. I had almost forgotten about the wedding. And what happened that day. Meanwhile, the rivalry between Adriana and Larsa hit a new level this week. From the pop shots at the start of the season to last week's bout to ignoring each other outside of Confessionals, it has been fun to watch. But right now...Julia is Adriana's weakness and even if Larsa felt some kind of way about how Julia voiced her opinion, she knew Adriana would see it as an attack and suuuuuure enough. LOL!!! I was looking forward to the 'IT'S LARSA!!!' moment because apparently it became a meme right before I watched so I hollered and rewinded cuz Guerdy was giving great reaction shots. To Be Continued? WHY??? Things were just getting great. Can't wait for next week. ALEXIA. I should not have even doubted. Alexia is after all the Queen of this telenovela. And all Queens need rest so the minions can have the limelight. But here she is back again with the wedding. The foreshadowing with her and Peter talking about her mother reminded me how this was going to end. Le sigh. And I am sure she is side-eyeing Nicole who might be trying for her crown. Alexia is just a lightning rod for drama. And loving her at her own party so far. Cuz that penis was hehehehe. NICOLE. Well darn, girl!!! You go right ahead and end Marysol. She gathered Marysol with the swiftness. She has been giving good so far in this feud, but so has Marysol. But she really was no nonsense about it and gathered Marysol flawlessly. No stutter. Nothing. I had no choice, but to be in awe. GUERDY. Oooooo how I've been looking forward to this drama since the trailer. It looked so flawless on her. I liked she was trying to mediate all the fighting that broke out at the dinner. LISA. I also liked she was being fun again. And also trying to get everyone to get along. She was being more of a fun BFF than Marysol. LARSA. I get it. When someone gives an opinion of you...one you might not like and it feels random on top of that, I would lash out a bit, too. So I liked Guerdy was trying to get Larsa to hear Julia out. However, I also see where Larsa was coming from. How random. And Julia's been nice but from Larsa's perspective meek. Given the rivalry going on with her and Adriana, she had the right to side-eye her. JULIA. I do think Julia was being genuine. After all, she has been mentioning her thoughts about what Larsa said since the start of Marysol vs Nicole during the 'Least Trust' game. However...she picked the wrong time to say anything. Especually in front of Adriana whom Larsa is feuding with. MARYSOL. You lost that one. Sorry. Nicole ate her up. ADRIANA. Started gathering and I was living. Next week Adriana vs Larsa Round 3? I'm here for it. One more episode after that and a reunion I believe. Sad it is about to be over for me.

BH related... WELL... ...gather around, kiddies. For I have a story to tell... As some of you know, my birthday week was last week. So I made it back to my jobs this week. I happen to work (mostly) in hospitality. And that has been not good during this Co-Vid time. In fact, we are in the process of a mass exodus, but I digress. I was talking to one of my outgoing co-worker who today was her last day. And she was asking my night supervisor (who might also be leaving allegedly) about him going to some concert he apparently went to a few days ago. And then she said the person he went to go and see had started at our place and how pushy, demanding, and rude he was. So was the girlfriend/wife that was with him. I was like oh? Really? Who was the person? Are you ready? Ready? YOLANDA'S DAVID. I was like...NO WAY!!!!!! They were like you know who he is. I was like even with RHOBH, YES, I KNOW WHO HE IS. And given my much younger co-worker's prespective, I had to bring up Gigi and Bella for them to know who Yolanda was. And well...from how they tell it, he was just like he was on the show. I was like...WOW. That is sad given how he was at that dinner where he got annoyed at Taylor. Apparently, they were a no show the night before. So they came in...to find they did not have a room. Ms. American Idol sniffed that could my coworker hurry up since they been up since 4am. Since we are two locations in one...yeeeeah that is not happening. So David leaned on the counter and got in my co-worker's face when she had only started to search our computer for 10 seconds wondering what had taken so long. What took long was...YOU..ARE...A...NO-SHOW. He had our Sales department scambling to find him somewhere to stay I heard and they comped everything. One thing if they had no money, but I think we all know Yolanda's David has PLENTY. The sad thing...I was downstairs doing a week's worth of stock and inventory and missed all of it.

RHOA Marlo. Marlo. Marlo. For years, she has been a FOH. And she has always been thirsty for a peach. Whether she admitted it or not. This episode was a good reason for why she should have one...and not. Marlo is messy. She's always been messy. Funny, too. And saw that this week with how she cheered ShebySheree up...even though she made her pay for everything, lol. On the other hand, she is causing drama with Kenya and Kandi...vets. It definitely keeps things interesting, but she's targetting the wrong people and going waaaaay below the belt with that talk outside with Sheree. That reunion...will...be...LIT. This week also continued the growing rift between Sanya and Drew. And...? I reluctantly might side with Drew on this. It does feel like more and more that Sanya might be clout chaser by disinviting her and inviting Kandi and Kenya to that photoshoot. Fun photoshoot...but Drew has kids as well. And some form of a fanbase. As Ryan would say on MILLION DOLLAR LISTING NY...expand in all ways, all ways. That might have been a way to tap into some other fanbase for Sanya...but NOPE. I was surprised that Drew was even invited to the Jamcian dinner. That said...I actually gasped when she showed up at the end and a TBC appeared. It's been such a good season so far. An easy season. Nothing too dark. Messy for sure. And all around...FUN. I'm looking forward to it like no other show outside of RHOM. Such a turnaround from last year. So much going on with potential. And through it all...there does seem to be a sisterhood vibe. That said... KENYA. Well, it was really a matter of time before she winded up in some drama. The only real difference is that she is not at the center of the mess. I can see how she would be upset though. She did explain herself. And it was sad to see that given Kenya has been there for Sheree, Sheree had Marlo's back. Is this fun trio over? Le sigh. SHEREE. Regardless of her recurring flaw of picking the wrong team (c)Nene Leakes, I continue to like her. This has been the most authentic she has been I believe. Good, bad, ugly...it IS refreshing. Not my guy, but it's clear she does care about Tyrone. And being done wrong by a guy will ALWAYS resonate. KANDI. Mama Joyce sighting! lol. Her and Mama Joyce's head turn during the Marlo v Kenya fight was so reminiscent of LVP and Kyle's head turn during the EriFake vs Dorit fight in Hong Kong I hollered. DREW. As @Gray Bunny said, I live for every moment when she is the punching bag. It is well deserved. BUT...I definitely see what she is saying about Sanya. Am I warming to her? Uh oh. lol. And it was ballsy of her to show up to the Jamician dinner...or is that her thirst showing? SANYA. Yeah...my side-eye continues to grow. I can't fault her for her hustle. But still...throwing your friend under the bus. I guess perhaps she is looking for that clout. MARLO. MESSY!!!! But...complex? Cuz there she is helping Sheree. But again...so has Kenya. So the fact she was pulling from the Kyle Richards Playbook and looking for Ts on an Ant was just...le sigh. And then that talk outside...might be the nail in her coffin come reunion time. Meanwhile she still gives plenty of comedy. Like I hollered when she shushed Drew out of the house as Drew was making a take-home plate. Such a good episode. Totally rewatchable.

Since it was asked...BLOOP!!!!

Exactly! For example the INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE TV show coming soon...even as a period piece...has a particular vibe that screams New Orleans from what I've seen, heard, and read. Like the flawed GG reboot (which I admit what little I've seen I've liked), I will probably give it a try. I am just no longer in a rush to see it. But it might be something that I might find that I like. Again, I know GG has some flawed ideas, but what little I saw I liked and I felt given where technology is now, it has potential in seeing how that generation could go with it.

RHOA OH, LORD!!! Is it Reunion Time yet?

So lip service. Thank you for the heads-up @Faulkner. Might still be worth a watch, but in no hurry to then. And no use of their setting on top of that? Wow.
