I hate to admit that, but same. Even when she was getting into people's faces I liked, I couldn't say that I was not liking it. Finally!!! Some stakes going on in this Florence thing and you could feel the tension between her and Laura and Nikolas and Ava. It even felt like wardrobe caught on cuz that jacket she had on on Friday and the boss walk she had going on was fierce. I admit...I rewinded. lol. I guess she goes to show how whiny the character has been as of late and I will probably regret this, but...can we keep THIS Carly? Well if the writers are going to do a U-turn on a Crazy Nina...which I am for and kudos to them for playing the beats with her and 'Mike' to make her sympathetic...I am down for Carly vs Britt for sure. Speaking of which...I was ANNOYED that Jax really and truly could not spit it out to Nina about making in-roads for Nina to see Wiley. I am liking that the writers have rediscovered Friday Cliffhangers again. Jax getting shot and seeing Sonny this week. The Poisoning Lazy Susan last week. Keep them coming. Especially with May Sweeps getting ready to start.

Hahahaha. Jealous of your guy. Yeah it was fun. He seem sad when it was over. But *shrugs*

Ooo cute AND could hold a conversation. Flirty vibe, too. But...I looked at that ring finger.

What have you been wanting for me for Shot 2 for a month now? Resting...temperature down...for now.

Hmmm

First of all...I'm HERE for Carly vs Britt!!!! Cuz you know she won't TAKE...ANY...OF...HER...SH*T!!! And if the writers continue to build up to Jason/Britt, she has...for better or for worse...always been an interloper between Jason and any of his women. I am loving the return of Shawn so far. Still easy on the eyes. And I love the edited detail that T. J. is still very close to him. And he was giving Jordan the business today. I was thinking a baby switch would happen between BrookLynn and Maxie, but knowing the truth about BrookLynn, I am now wondering if Maxie and BrookLynn are going to put their heads together and have Maxie's baby pose as BrookLynn to keep the baby away from Peter. I'm SO OVER PETER. And that voice. Now that it's been mentioned, I can't 'unsee' it. THIS...IS...CARLY. How long has it been since she's been boss. I don't even like Carly, but she has been Boss Bitca all week and driving story and I'm HERE...FOR...IT. She has never needed a man to plot, scheme, and get what she wants so I expect her to do that, not whine or wait to be saved...until the end of course. lol. LW has been playing this to the hilt and I love it. I am very, very curious to see where this law thing is going with Molly. I thought it was a one off for the Alexis episode, but they appear to be continue to touch on it. A possible conflict for her and TJ? Or could it play into a way to get Shawn out of jail? Nice C plot. Speaking of in the background...I think it is safe to say the next event will be at Curtis's club. And that has been building nicely. End of May Sweeps? Another thing building nicely as B plots...Sonny's Misadventure. Mike has been fun, but it's been nice to see another near miss it appears. Play those beats. I just want to see the part of the beat where Sonny's absence affects Carly and Michael and custody of Wiley and Avery. So I guess I got the A story this week would be Cyrus getting back to business and being a threat. He was giving menace today (4/23/21), but I was tired of him whining about his mama. If we are going to get rid of him. Let's get this show on the road. I cannot believe that I'm caught up. lol. ETA: It's good to see them attempt to do something with the teens. And while I don't like Cameron riding so hard for Franco...him vs Joss is organic in a way. Perhaps a perfect way to bring in a nuSpencer. And hopefully, Trina won't just be background.

So I went today for Shot 2. Everything went smoothly. And I got into the line for my shot. Heard a hello. I turned to see who the nurse was and immediately thought of all the pictures @Soapsuds posted in this thread. When you put it out in the Universe...HAHAHAHAHAHA. Lord Jesus thought...I did have to work briefly today and ewwww. Just woke up and feeling hot. So Shot 2 is not a joke for me so far.

All of this. I loved both scenes, too. So I am sad that for the last two episodes it appears ratings a (just a little bit) down. And Ooooooo at you tempting me with those NY clips. lol

@Cat I knew you were liked that the moment I heard Mama Dee say that. I even rewinded a few times. RE: NJ. It was a very slight shift. Very subtle. Still well paced. It just had a vibe to it compared to the other episodes of letting the characters breathe so to speak. Like I said...even people like Marge, Jackie, and Melissa who I generally don't like got to do more and viewers got a little bit into their heads in a way well they didn't feel like housewives archetype...they felt 3 dimensional in a way they have not mostly been this season. Does that make sense? I think it was all down to the nuances going on within all the sense. Perhaps it was editing as well. It was very well done for sure and highly enjoyable. Just...different.

Yeah, after that great first season cliffhanger...and the road to getting there...perhaps.

So much potential.

I didn't know there was a pre-emption on Monday. That said... HER MEN!!!!??? WELL GO ON THEN CARLY CORINTHOS!!!! RUN THAT MOB!!!!!!!!!! I guess I can see what you all are talking about with this 'stand-off' between Carly, Nicholas, and Cyrus. It would have been nice to see it (and Bobbie), but it's not JG bad where something happened off screen and done in one line though. Punch him, Curtis!!! I feel weird liking Sasha and Brando when they are both basically not very well connected to anyone important enough to be in their story. They even have mama drama. Nicholas looked good. SO did Brando. Nice back...side. I never don't feel that Anna really wouldn't back down to this lame blackmail by Peter. But she made it up by introducing herself to Cyrus.

Did I hear SAVANNAH? I never knew there was a FOURTH character, but I could see it. Cool!!! And Forever, you should watch. Peyton was one of the best primetime vixens.

NJ Awwww Teresa. Even with Marge vs Jennifer, I found this episode to be very low key. After 9/10 episodes of well paced drama, comedy, and family dynamic, I felt this episode slowed down the pace, allowing to get to know all the ladies surprisingly. And then that ending...same, Teresa. I still get triggered whenever I see a close relationship in public between a father and little son. So I can imagine how being in a room with daughters and moms could get to you. And those flashback...le sigh... THINGS I LOVED. FRANKIE. Need I say more? Yum. lol. GETTING TO KNOW YOU. It surprised me how much this episode let the ladies unwind. And moreso, it allowed for human moments with the ladies I did not like. Jackie talking about her past. Marge's talk with Marge Sr. And I hollered at Melissa embarrassing her daughter on NATIONAL TV!!! That was soooooooo not a talk to have on air!!! lol. There was another moment I loved where Jennifer and her dad were poking fun at her mother. Given last week, seeing those three together and laughing was such an awww moment. And of course there was Dolores and Frankie (ymmmm). Teresa, Joe, and their daughters. There was just so many nuances in these little scenes that I loved all of them. Even with ladies I don't like. Speaking of... JENNIFER, MARGE, AND THE YACHT. First of all, they all looked good...and Jackie surprisingly was tied with Teresa as best dressed. Second of all, WOW. that party was a great example of how the sneak peeks give you one idea...and then SURPRISE!!! It went in a different direction. In fact, a BETTER direction. Marge and Jennifer's meeting of the minds was much needed since Marge had been coming for her all season so far. And I LOVED Jennifer gathering her together, too. Thank you, Production, for replaying the scene in question. I had the same opinion as Jennifer. And I loved that Jennifer flipped the script and revealed after listening to Marge read from her book, she owe Marge an apology. And she owned her error and apologized. Marge accepting and trying to move on was a great move. More nauances throughout the scene. MINI-JENNIFER. HAHAHAHAHAHA at Jennifer's daughter coming to the mother party with that mini-housewife vibe. Hilarious. PEACHES. LOL. Well played, production. After last week with the ladies teasing Teresa about a new man, it turned out THEY WERE RIGHT!! What seem like a joke was a well timed subplot that paid off. And ha at Melissa already knowing and saying NOTHING. Which led to a cute Jackie/Melissa scene to boot. MOTHERS PARTY. Other than the ending...it was very well done. And it gave so much insight into the ladies even more...not to mention Jennifer's childhood. She was a well dressed hostess. And I loved how she did it. And gave so much respect. And hehee at everyone joking with her mother. FRANKIE. MMMM. LOL. WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE THAT ENDING. Le sigh. *hugs Teresa* ETA: I forgot to say so yesterday, but I think (for me) it was the first time the NJ ladies cooperative on their reunion looks. I loved them all overall, but Jennifer is totally my favorite. Then Melissa's. Then Teresa.

THIS. + 1000 And that reminds me that I still have to watch this Monday's WWHL with her on it.

That's news to me re: Shannon's show on Peacock. But most of the OC have been laying low (and doing things they shouldn't *side-eyes Emily*) since that season ended.

Very true. Great song. After all the stuff with Peter and WR (who I like as an actor, but not here), I'm over the pets as well. And yes, Liz deserves better than RH or to be testing with ME.

RHOD Another murder mystery? It didn't work out too well on RHOA (other than that awesome Porsha gif ). Other than that, it was a good episode. I am curious how DALLAS fans are going to feel about it given some of the reactions of the cast. And I LOVE how they changed the opening to the DALLAS style opening. Cute. It definitely feels apparently to me that by this point of filming Brandi was starting to show. And not just in the confessional. So...why she stay dressing like she was not for one. And for two...still with the potty humor? But...she wants to judge people? Whatever, ho. And the 80s part of the episode? HAHAHAHAHA!!! YOU SELL THAT 80 DIVA WALK, LEEANDRA!!! Easily my favorite moment was her slow mo walk. But I loved how everyone looked. FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE EPISODE: Mama Dee DRAGGGGGGGGING LeeAndra's Father's Other Wife. I fell out. LEEANDRA. The gift that keeps on giving. This episode was a spotlight for her. With the season finale next week, it was good to have a bit of a retrospective of where she was at at the start of this season to where she was now. I feel that her family dynamic was sad this week. Seeing her talk with Mama Dee and Jeremy I continue to feel that if only she and her brother could talk without the mothers, they might be able to start to heal. But...as long as the mothers still clearly hate each other, not so much. And now the other wife wanted to say that LeeAndra's father's death did not go down like how LeeAndra said it did? Le sigh. Oh, well...a step forward. And thank God for Jeremy for being strong for her. BRANDI. Good for the setup for the Southfork trip. STEPHANIE. I liked her 80s dress, too. KARY. I liked that she was trying to build a bridge to her family. Of course, you don't see your husband. He don't want to be on camera with you after what you said last season. Duh! 😎 TIFFANY. I hate to admit it, but the recent news about her in-laws is trying to color my perspective, but I am smart enough to not hold it against her. Hopefully, her husband has nothing to hide. KAMERON. Just a short scene of her with Court. Which of course is always funny. Next week is the FINALE (and the husbands show up next week)!!! And I made it to the end. lol. I would say it was a good transitional season post-LeeAnne, but they need to keep pushing forward.

LOVE.

NJ Now that my system was working good and I just took a true me day...probably the only one I'm having this week before Shot 2...I finally got back around to this after a day of doing nothing, binging, and working out...and just...I've said this before and I'll say it again...I'm really, really, REALLY going to miss this show when it's over. This season has been THAT good. I've never been bored. It's been fun and relatable. It's been messy for sure. And I feel like this year EVERYONE (for better or for worse) have done something or have something going on. And this medium...for me...has been the best one since Allison Dubois from the Dinner Party from Hell. She seems on the money and not fake at all. And it really was the best part of the episode. I wonder what she charged. And I love all the tea that was revealed about Jennifer's history...and that she feel vulnerable enough to say all of that in front of women (well, Marge and Melissa) who truly don't like her. Strong woman. This was a pretty good episode. If I was bugged by anything...it was Marge and her pot stirring. And it's more because they are all bringing something so it's not at all needed like Kenya on RHOA and Ex Soap Opera Star on BH. And for me, it is coming across as jealousy (when it comes to Teresa) and revenge (Jennifer). If she is going to do this period...own it...at least in the case of Teresa. But I've been feeling like a Teresa vs Marge thing has been building for years. Someday... Until then she needs to #stayinherlane. Unless she wants to have someone call her out on the bombshells she dropped in her book that was disrespectful to other people. *sips* TERESA. She didn't really do much, but yet everyone was STILL talking about her. And the fact she was dating, but who. I found it funny. MELISSA. Can't she just stay this way? I hear she is back to being annoying at the reunion. But here? Here she had some funny moments, some cringy moments (real talk: people do seem to care about pets more than people), and surprisingly relatable...assuming it is real. MARGE. God, is she living up to her tagline this year! She kept poke, poke, poking about Jennifer, trying to start drama for the sake of doing it. Then you have her picking on Teresa in her THs and then talk, talk, talking about her before the medium. Other than her cool jacket (I'm a big fan of Ava Max, too. ), she can have several seats. Next week she is at it again with Jennifer and god, get a storyline. JACKIE. LET...IT...GO. Right now, the only person that continues to bring up the Evan rumor...IS HER. If she wanted it to go away, she would stop and keep on moving. She was great at brunch with Marge and Melissa. She could keep to that. DOLORES. Lord, Dolores, Dolores, Dolores. She has really been a revelation to me this year. I've been that person who will put everyone ahead of myself before myself. Co-workers. Friends. Family growing up. Eventually, you have to live for yourself and do things for yourself. And yes, still looking for that soulmate. lol. So I can see why she did not want anyone to know about her surgery. I'm like that with Shot Number 2. And hearing that the medium said David might not be that soulmate, she was unphased. But her pet...I felt that. JENNIFER. Speaking of bringing it, that bombshell about Jennifer's history during the medium session was great. And the looks the girls gave her on that tea was...oooo yes, she's not just a trophy wife...there's depth there. And then the looks they got when she talked about her mother/father drama...they better not be gossiping about that next week. And then that last scene was brutal real. Thank God for Bill!!! He was a great mediator between all three of them. I was only sorry Jennifer's daughter was there for some of that, crying. And smart on Bill for ushering her out of the room as quick as possible. I liked Jennifer was there for her mom. But they all had a point (thank you again Bill) that times had changed since Jennifer's father and mother got married. And the situation was indeed sad. People can't say Jennifer ain't bringing it. Another good episode. Not that anyone is shocked. RHOD Just to let you all know, they gave it a new opening in the style of DALLAS the tv show...if you can find it, check it out!!! It's a hoot!!!

Hehe. Then nothing to worry about. Sounds like both NY and BH episode are going to be great premiere. Heck, sounds like BH will be hitting the ground running with drama since someone saw Episode 2 as well. Sounds like since BH starts after the reunion we will be starting with that sitdown Garcelle said she wanted in interviews between seasons with Kyle and Ex Soap Opera Star.

Per Schana, it sounds like the new season starts filming next month.

Sounds like a WhoDunIt is heading Peter's way. As long as it is not him faking his death, I'm good. I don't mind any of these.

So we have completely ruined Kristen now. Daarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn.
