HA

I so need to get back on the horse...

Well, well, WELL...

OC WOW. I posted Bravocelebrities giving Kelly Dodd what she had coming. But poor Kelly made the mistake of throwing more shade? GG...READ...HER...DOWN. The Bravo Bitch on Twitter: "Kelly Dodd found murdered by Golnesa #RHOC #ShahsOfSunset https://t.co/XjbbQcjHaz" / Twitter I didn't hear, but yep. We knew it was coming.

6/11 Ugh. Stumbles. After a great few weeks...this week, while good, has been one of those scattershot weeks to me. A series of scenes that have no build unfortunately. So...a few thoughts... SO CLOSE!!!! Hopefully Finn figures out the reason that cure did not work is because he and Chase ARE BROTHERS, NOT FATHER/SON!!! And that the possible cure is right there with Gregory. And the triangle continues with Chase proposing to Willow. Ooooo this is getting messy. I have not been liking Michael or Willow, but I am liking the storyline. Poor Chase. Fingers crossed this grays all the characters involved. That brief moment when it looked like Carly vs Laura. Love Laura did not back down to her. Still loving Carly in character. Which of course means I love when she's giving it to Cyrus but hiss when she gets into it with everyone else. lol. I have no feeling toward Liz/Finn.' And nice cliffhanger with Carly walking in on Nina and Wiley. Uh oh...

But that is what makes this Erika storyline so curious @Cat. It really and truly seems like Erika wants it to ONLY be about the divorce and her being a 'woe is me' victim. So...when is the narrative going to change? Because at some point...it does. And that change is including how much did she know? Early reports say Sutton started that ball rolling. But right now, she's busy feuding with Crystal and being BFFs with Garcelle. That reminds me of something that I forgot to mention earlier. Last night, it was an off-hand comment that someone made...I want to say either Kyle or Ex Soap Opera Star...that Garcelle had made a shady comment about Dorit. And the camera panned to Dorit for a minute, but it was not touched on then. IRL Dorit and Garcelle both have mentioned that they had a disagreement of sorts. Could this be the beginning of that? Dorit is showing that she is about to start some pot stirring (and I still LOVE Sutton getting her together) so could it be that the 'widows and orphans' comment is not out of context, but she threw it out there as a trap for someone else to bring it to the table...say Sutton or even Garcelle...and one or both of them take the bait since they believe in not being fake and that starts the second leg of the Erika storyline (21 episodes this season) rolling and the audience start to get into how much did Erika know? Hmmmm PS. And yes I thought you would get a good chuckle out of the Willow comment. I just find her waaaaay too obvious. And I agree with the rest of you that perhaps she's been staging all of these looks/gas appearances to only look poor. Trash yes. Poor...I don't think so. HAHAHAHA!!!! THE SHADE OF IT ALL!!!

No, no, no!!!! Don't get me wrong!!! I am and still am an uberBELOW DECK fan. (sidenote: Summer House is a fun ride...hits its stride in Season 3. And the reunion this year was all kinds of awesome from the clips I've seen I will be watching this past season eventually. And don't forget FAMILY KARMA.) I liked the show for the reasons you mentioned and just seeing the guests (even DALLAS Kary was on an episode pre-DALLAS). But even that franchise had its toxic season (for BD it was Season 7, MED Season 5--though I had an Alex crush, and SY was the first one). BD recovered thankfully because they righted the ship with returns and back to basics post covid. So has SY with an enjoyable cast that most of them could return next season...and I have a Colin crush. lol. Oh for sure Bravo has been struggling in ratings (outside of NJ). And NY is definitely down from last year, but I still think NY will be a grower on its ratings. It's not the first time that's happened to NY so I will be shocked if that does not happen this year. I agree on streaming services. That is mostly all I do now. And if I no longer have the channel on my new tv system, all I have to do is wait for it to be loaded for streaming since I might not have the channel for a tv show, but the tv show is on my list of shows to watch through streaming. Like I don't have CW anymore, but I had downloaded the CW app before the system changed so it's installed on my tv system and I can still watch shows on the channel. More reason for them to have not had a break so viewers can see that quick transition out of the Hampton. This isn't a show with mini arcs a la the last season of VERONICA MARS. It's HOUSEWIVES!!! LOL.

BH Last week felt like an old school version of BH with the return of glamour (not glam) and the showing off of wealth as the ladies were off living their lives. This week also felt old school in a different vein as we saw the day to day of the ladies (Garcelle's was easily my favorite, I've been having to navigate dating in this post CoVid world so I feel that). The problem for me...though I will give credit where credit is due since Production did a good job of setup scenes...is the fact that the women are too unlikeable to make even their 'normal' scenes likeable enough like Adrienne, Kim, Taylor, and Camille (and later Yolanda and Kathryn...even Joyce) would back in the day. So there was a lot of side-eye. And no more so than with Ms. Erika. Girl...stop. You and your mouthpiece Ex Soap Opera Star can ZIP...IT. It is so clear what was going on and all it really did was make me see RED. Other than the attempt to plan a narrative by the Stripper and the Ex Soap Opera Star, the only thing going on this episode was the continued feud between Sutton and Crystal. And I have to say...GET HER, SUTTON!!! It was like I said before. Sutton went overboard, but worked on making amends and moving forward. But Crystal wanted to keep the drama going. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Crystal because she made some points, but Yep, she's a mean girl. And Sutton sees it. So uh oh. KYLE. It's interesting how in the background she is BUT STILL puppeteering. Did she really tell Sutton about Crystal talking behind her back to be a good friend or because it was good drama that could deflect from Erika's crimes? Discuss!!! And I see she backed down from Dorit. Perhaps them Production warned her again that was a bad move. DORIT. Hahahahaa at Sutton letting her know 'this ain't your moment, boo. Stand down.' That is worrying though. Other than fashion and comic relief, she has not done much. I have not mind it, but it seems like she was looking to stir the pot a little as well just like Kyle in this Sutton/Crystal feud. Guess trying to get relevant. GARCELLE. Like Kenya Moore, green and yellow are her colors because I was loving that jumpsuit at Crystal's. She stayed relatable this round and was giving some great Greek chorus on Erika. And while I know she was Team Sutton, it was great to hear her say it outloud in her TH. I hope she stays side-eyeing Crystal. SUTTON. THAT'S RIGHT, GUUUUURL!!!! PUT THE MEAN GIRL ON NOTICE!!!!!!!!!!! I loved that Sutton was All the work she did last season to get that diamond, she was damned if she was going to let these tricks take it away from her. No, ma'am!!!! LOL!!!! When even Kyle is on your side, you run with it. Cuz it's funny that all of a sudden Production had the rollback on all those Crystal's scenes. Hmmmm. And Sutton also saw Crystal's game...telling her one thing while telling the Coven another. Great that she confronted her IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY. And like a true mean girl...Crystal threw some weak shots...that Sutton caught and threw back. And then...Crystal backed down. For now. So now...this is going to be a juicy feud looking at next week. I hope Sutton drags her. CRYSTAL. And regardless of what I said above...well...at least Crystal is going us drama. As for mean girls...I worshipped at the altar of Cordelia Chase so I'm...good with that. She is the very definition of what we discussed here...a HW you probably don't like, but you can admire is driving drama and NOT being boring. So right now...very important since either nothing is going on or Production is controlling the narrative. And that brings me to... ERIKA. You all were saying Oscar worthy performance. The actress over on GH that plays Willow could give a better performance. This? As Marlo said at the RHOA Season 10 reunion...a C character. At best. Lord...I feel like the woman in the movie CLUE who was seeing red and flames. Cuz I was watching Erika and LOOOORDDDD...would it be too much for her to ask sympathetic? That was all Erika had to do. All of what she did was basically line reading with no subtext, emotions, or even naunce to it. In other words FAKE. And the fact that it was clear Production is in her corner, giving her the victim edit, and making it soooo easy for her to get a pass and she STILL can't sell it???? Some Kween. There was not a bit of film last night of her that was not FAKE or PHONEY!!! This goes back to what I said at the start about Production having all these setup scenes to sell this narrative. Guess what, Bitch? Not working. Speaking of which... EX SOAP OPERA STAR. Uh...last I check...Miss Pretty Mess knew how to deflect and defend herself so she does not need a mouthpiece. SHUT...THE...FRAK...UP. Or better yet... KATHY. Not in it enough. Sadly. She continues to be a hoot and a bright spot this season.

Well, to be fair @Chris B and @Cat, when you mentioned NY's ratings, I had to go look to see if I was seeing things. Nope. Unless I am wrong, NY's ratings are holding steady if anything. Is it down from last season? Well...yes...like most of the HW shows. But it is not unusual for NY's ratings to start slow and grow up to the reunion. So it's a wait and see. I do think it's funny that Bravo did not at all mention they were not showing NY for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion (which as @DaytimeFan mentioned had a great season after that toxic first and I need to play catchup on it lol). Bravo is NOT the CW and knows how to advertise when a show is on break since not everyone reads releases to know that. Usually Bravo would say (in a Ramona voice over) IN TWO WEEKS ON NY. So it does seem a bit suspect since Bravo normally does not do that. Other than Below Deck Med (which I will not be watching after that toxic last season), Below Deck has become the flagship as I've mentioned before. But no need to sabotage the good HW shows for it. Especially when NJ held its own and I expect POTOMAC to do the same. JS.

NJ Before I get around to BH...the new houswife...?

I think the latter. I would be shocked at the former. lol.

Cool! And...yeah to both.

lol. I've had a few of those moments every few months. I run into someone who looks familiar. And then I go OOOOHHHH???

Yeah, there was no sign of Bravo saying there would be a break. And they had already released sneak peeks. So I'm sure originally they were going to air it. I don't feel anything has been said that would need re-editing so it does feel like a random choice or maybe to spread episodes out. But I feel that's weird too. NY I believe is getting 20 episodes this year (Sidenote: Kathy said BH is getting 21)...so *shrugs*

Hehe. Exactly!!! Twitter alone...lol.

hahaha. Just familiar as in I have seen him out in public somewhere. San Diego for a big city is smaller than one thinks.

Good for him. The picture on EW page makes me intrigued with both.

It scares me that that San Diego guy looks familiar...

Earworming. I've been liking how she's been slowly but surely coming up. And this is a risk for her, but I can't say I hate it.

Hmmm that looks like the New 52 Supergirl suit. And no cape. Meh.

THANK YOU!!!! He fit in perfectly in his brief stunt. He had chemistry with Tricia Cast and he definitely looked and acted like a son of Nina and Philip.

Hehe. Oh Miss Quad... Reunion Peek!!!

THIS.
