I almost used that last one when I heard the news. That said....YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, HUNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel that Kyle has totally ironically been a Bobby Fischer in this whole Erika deal. It's why I continue to bring up the point that it's clear...like with Erika's mascara rundown scene with Kyle being the talk-to versus Erika's BFF Ex Soap Opera Star...when Kyle is being 'Producer Kyle' versus just 'Kyle Wannabe HBIC.' She definitely knows after last season that last label won't fly right now given how they ganged up on Denise...though she tried it this season with Dorit. But she really are moving people along right down to dear sis Kathy. It's plain as day, but subtle enough to give one pause. And I feel she is playing it well IMHO. I hate to say it but she really is spinning a clever web that intrigues as it goes on. However, Erika is not a fool regardless of her questionable acting skills. There's a reason why she has FINALLY changed her tune online like how she should have been from the beginning...a victim with perhaps some sympathy for the victims if she herself was not in suuuuuch pain. That debatedably MIGHT make her more favorable. But she has been taking pot shots at people and I don't think it is just Sutton she is aiming at. I also feel there is a reason as this has gone on (and it should be a 20 episode season per Kathy and Andy C unless they cut down the number like they did last season due to backlash allegedly) that online opinion appear to be that it will be Kyle vs Erika at the reunion. It is like you and FrenchBug said and I agree as well. It's not the first time a Housewife was one way and watched the season or edits and suddenly or slowly changed their tune. Remember Kyle last season? Then they took that unannounced hiatus and everything shifted in behavior AND confessional. So I am sure as a Producer, Kyle has a hint of where things are going, told her henchwoman Ex Soap Opera Star like they did with Denise, and have started a counter narrative to Erika. At some point, they have to know some of the information the rest of us do and see the need to step back enough to not feel the backlash, but make sure Erika does not see them do it. And now they have scapegoats in Garcelle and Sutton so that makes it even easier. Meanwhile, they can paint themselves as victims of the whole ordeal, hoping to smell like roses...rather than being seen for the thorns they are. So while I am sure they are being supportive on WWHL, I really do expect the worm to turn. And while I do think Garcelle and Sutton will still get attacked come reunion time...they might not be the only ones this time. Assuming the cracks in the Coven right now are truly that. Cracks.

Nah, nah, LC. Let's be clear oh who said it first. Or...THE ABOVE. Love ya though. I don't know. Leave it up to Shady Phae Phae to resurrect Eva the Diva.

I agree. There be too many moments that just scream soap opera and that they get it (the wedding, Tracy's visits, the current stuff with Willow/Michael/Chase, Spencer's return) and then there be clear ugh in the direction. And it goes downhill.

HAHAHAHA!!! So if this article is true...I called it right yesterday with Dorinda!!! Perfection. As for SLC and the timeslot...AT LAST!!!! Last season the main complaint was its timeslot because their first season was FLAWLESS. And now putting it there...WITH POTOMAC!!!! I might have to keep two bottles of wine on Sunday. SUNDAY NIGHTS ARE BACK, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As did I. They even did it right by starting sllllllowly. But then...it went left.

Same.

Yes, I am over Austin mugging airtime for other people I'm much more interested in.

@Cat so what did you make of the newbie? She looks intriguing and of course messy.

Awwww And HMMMMM

BH Episode 11. And totally a misunderstanding on Garcelle's end. Now everyone else's...??? If Episode 10 was about setting up Erika to have a big fall, this episode felt like the Coven needing a convenient scapegoat to me. As usual Kyle was background. It was telling when Erika had her meltdown that Ex Soap Opera Star was there with tissue ready and throwing daggers with her eyes at Garcelle. And then Dorit wanted to paint a picture...a comment she made earlier in the episode ironically about Erika. Felt a lot like gaslighting. And I can't say those tears looked fake. As others have mentioned, were the tears real because Erika had been caught in a lie and thus, deflection? Probably. Such a careful house of cards she was trying (and doing poorly) to keep from falling. And...Oops!!! In any case, she's lucky Garcelle didn't drag her like how she drags Ex Soap Opera Star every chance she got. That said...if this is about having a scapegoat, it is good to see Crystal and Sutton have Garcelle's back. She'll need it. More notes... KYLE. So sniper from the side. It was telling to me that the next day after Erika talked about Tom's crash, there she was with the Coven (+ Crystal) really and truly trying to save that 'Tom was mean' narrative. It made me wish that there was some way for Tom to have his own narrative. Not that he is not to blame, just because right now we really only have one person's word: Erika. And she has proven not to be completely reliable. Of course, she would sit back during Erika's meltdown. The better to have others do the heavy lifting. And lest, we forget...Kyle is the one with the wacky sister. God, she's so calculated. DORIT. Hehe. Trying to be Team Coven and sneaking in to attack Garcelle, too. SMH. Bad look, honey. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. Over there next to Erika playing Taylor McBride with those looks and arm moves. Speaking of calculated...THIS. She was just waiting to pounce on Garcelle for something. Trash box. CRYSTAL. Didn't really do much, but have Garcelle's back. Good for her. SUTTON. THANK YOU for having common sense. Of course, this meltdown is about something else. And definitely seem to be on the nose of what's up given her past experience. GARCELLE. Heart was in the right place. Also due to past experience. It was clear a misunderstanding. And Garcelle has always established that she is a straight shooter AND a ride-or-die kinda of friend. And those friends WILL keep a secret if told. No one told her so she revealed something she shouldn't have. And she owned that. I also liked that she did not back down from anyone trying to gaslight her. That said...I hollered at the Hamzat suit. ERIKA. I swear watching just makes me think of POTOMAC's Robyn saying you almost had me. For every moment I feel she gets a little real, there are so many more when it feels staged or fake. And I also have to keep in mind what she was doing online as this was being filmed on top of that, making it hard to be sympathic at all. And then jumping Garcelle? Girl, go look in the mirror with your sloppy self-editing work!! That's on you slipping, not on Garcelle for mentioning it when she did not know nor is she Jean Grey. You can have ALL the seats. And just because I did not mention her, Kathy is still a hoot.

Agree. Maybe they can BLOCK it out and use it. Oops. lol.

SLC SEASON 2 TRAILER!!!! AKA BOOM!!!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. NO.

BH Well I'm finally sitting down (with a glass of wine) and playing a game of catch up. And I left off at Episode 10 and...WOW. Episode 10 is the start of the La Quinta trip (which must have been what they filmed without Garcelle here in my area of town a while ago) and the story of Erika and Tom's car crash. What I found interesting about it was...it already seems like lines are being drawn. And moreso since it's a Garcelle-less episode, the fact that it revealed cracks in the Coven. Surely Erika did not tell Kyle, Dorit, and Ex Soap Opera Star to pick on her character in their confessionals. Aren't they supposed to have her back? Yet here was Kyle throwing shade. And there was Ex Soap Opera Star bringing up the orphans and widows and burn victims. Meanwhile, there was Dorit with the whole article about the assets being frozen. ALL behind Erika's back and when she was not around. And then there they were trying to be sympathetic friends to her face. In fact, the only ones who seem to be (or looked) caring was Kathy, Crystal, and...to a lesser extent...Dorit. Kyle and Ex Soap Opera Star...kept giving looks to each other during the 'confessional.' And for all their COVENness, it seem like they are finally and slowly throwing Erika under the bus and setting her up. Even now, PK is already telling Dorit to keep her distance. And yet for all of that...Erika and that 'acting...' Lord...so much bad extra. That said...I felt there were silvers where she came across...justifically upset...and that made her real. And then she would pull some lame mood, or be fake tough, or take to making a narrative...and that realness fell apart. And NO, I would be like Sutton, confused over that story, too. So...quick notes... KYLE. People are already saying that it's going to be her vs Erika come Reunion time. And you know what? Just looking at this episode, I believe it. Up until now, it would seem Kyle...both Kyle and Producer Kyle...had Erika's back. So perhaps at some point even Producer Kyle saw the writing on the wall...or the Producers did...and are now starting to set Erika up. And yes, I do not feel Erika will take kindly to watching all this back and seeing it. Before Kyle would be all 'be honest, walk in her truth, etc.' Now she really is throwing major shade at Erika, even hinting that Erika is putting on an act. Damning to her courtcase for sure. Thankfully, she has Kathy to keep her appearing human. Though...why are they letting her cook again? DORIT. Bringing up the frozen assets? Hmmm...did that Coven have a BTS meet? It was just so produced and even I arched an eyebrow. And then those scenes with PK and FINALLY touching on the lawsuit they had seriously. Well, using it as the reason for Dorit to strategically back away from Erika. Obvious and yet...well played. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. Look at her running with the frozen assets narrative. Using it to mention the victims. Something Erika has not done up until now. So funny given how she keeps wanting to be Erika's BFF. SUTTON. Hmmmm...I see her wheels turning. Which I find sad since she really has been truly supporting Erika right up until now. Now that doubts are creeping in, we know this won't end well. CRYSTAL. I like her and Sutton getting along, but I am disappointed that it happened off screen. Her feud with Sutton has carried the whole first half of the season and we as viewers deserved to see them turn the corner AND the process of the turned corner. As Sutton would say...that's not right. All right onto Episode 11...

Well...he ain't wrong.

Given who he's married, I would hope so. lol. And loving him on ROSWELL NEW MEXICO as well. LORD!!!!!!!!!!!! OH....?

That makes me wonder if they are considering Maxie with Austin. ugh. That said...I like these.

While there are times that it does slllow to a crawl, I do like the slow burn feel to it. I am curious though if he will not be discovered until November Sweeps...almost a year if I'm not mistaken.

Awwww I am sorry for her loss.

Oh for sure, we don't know everything. However, we know ENOUGH to form opinions with the facts presented. And even then, we had enough to ask the hard questions which it sounds like Garcelle and Sutton have started to do...not to mention what is out there. But I do look forward to seeing how they did it since I've gotten behind due to life and will be playing catch up. That said...one can have compassion and still know when someone is guilty. I know I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, but I would still have acted better than how she's been acting (up until recently I might add) and showed some remorse...even if it was just for show because I was hurt by my husband.

7-30 YAY!!! MADE IT TO THE END OF THE MONTH!!! And I'm OVER Austin. Just...ugh. Just everywhere even when he doesn't need to be there. And now...NOW...he wants to be at this bday party and hint he might have heard Maxie and BrookLynn. Ugh. I don't even want to see a Austin/Michael rivalry now and it actually started off promising. And oooooo at this gaslighting that Spencer is doing to Ava. Ironic THERE's Nik doing the same to Liz. Like father, like son indeed. lol. That said...I had stopped watching during most of this Hayden shooting stuff so to hear this is a rewrite...I have to get around to watching those clips posted in here of what actually happened. Awwww...Chase is walking. So that must mean he will find out about Michael/Willow and probably not tell anybody. Well...if this leads to Brooklyn/Chase, I'm down. lol.

So...I was right. Maybe. Re: SLC trailer. Hmmmm...when I saw the question, my first thought was 'outside of Kyle, what other Housewife has friends in RL outside of their respective show?' Teresa came to mind immediately especially now. But then...it said someone unexpected so given all the bread crumbs...could it be Dorinda? Like everyone is saying here, the groundwork definitely seems to be started to bring her back? Or maybe it's an OG on a show that is no longer on a show that people want to see whom name is not Bethanny or Nene. That said...POTOMAC should totally be included in AS 2. Long shot...Porsha?

All Stars 2 already...?
