Well...NY and BH finished filming their latest seasons today and yesterday respectively.

I meant to get back to you sooner, but yeah...Season 1 is slllow. It really doesn't click until Season 2 and by Episode 5, it does not let up except for one episode in Season 3. I haven't seen the last two seasons (I don't have Amazon Prime so I have Season 4 on hold by dvd and Season 5 just ended...which is based off of a popular book in the series). But it is definitely worth sticking in. Also a great series, but I'm an uberfan. It was part of the reason I seriously started to write. I liked history when I was younger so all the alternate history interested me. Season 1 and 2 are great seasons. Season 3 was the last with the creator and was good for the most part as well. Season 4 and 5 (the Sci-Fi Channel years) are a different beast. I liked them for the most part and been curious to see if they would hope up now that I'm older.

Same.

That's their defense? Again? John Fugelsang on Twitter: "Go ahead and make Madonna jokes, but if Madge told lies that led to 7 people getting killed at least she'd be able to afford a real defense team." / Twitter

Same. I think Shelly started it, but it was clearly a rewrite. I still would have loved it if Nelle had been Carly's ACTUAL sister so that karma could have truly and utterly hit Carly in the face. Count me in as well that Nelle is probably still alive. I see how everything is being setup to give her a trump card when she resurfaces a la old school Sami Brady when Sami's plot would be revealed, she ALWAYS had a trump card that allowed her to wiggle out of it without jailtime (or very little of it).

SLC 'I smell hospital still.' ME: In a word: WOW. For me that was worth the wait. And so much going on. There were so many moments. But I think my favorite easily was the moment after the 'Does Mary's name triggered Jen?' talk where Mary and Jen stared daggers at each other. They did it so perfectly at each other. And I just thought they should be back for Season 2 (which Bravo is ALREADY advertising during the reunion) cuz their rivalry has legs. MEREDITH AND LISA FELL OUT??????????? When? Where? Why? So many questions there. Maybe in Part 2. Maybe that is even why they are sat separately. I said it during the OC reunion and I believe the RHOP reunion as well, but I'll say it again...some what of the ladies wore look soooo much better on screen than it does in pictures. Cuz...Meredith...DAMN. LOL. I loved looking at her through out. The styling of the hair. The earrings. The rings. That dress. How she holds herself. Just breathtaking to me. So funny given how plain and bad that picture of her pre-reunion looked. Easily Mary OWNED Part 1 of the reunion. She proved her tagline without breaking a sweat. I can't wait for @Chris B to see her. JEN. I'm going to get this out of the way first. Why? It seems like someone FINALLY clued Jen in on how she was looking on screen. Or that perhaps she is not mixing her meds with her alcohol. Which is a GOOD look for her. NOW she seems like she is finally reflecting. OR she is duck and covering. Which judging from online...is working for her. Also she knew the others would be coming for her. So she had to play nice. I think the only times she was being RealJen was 1) when she apologized to Heather...I actually did not feel that was fake even if it took her a year...STOP BEING MESSY ANDY!!! and 2) all of her attempts to not get triggered by Mary. And Mary STAYED on her neck throughout Part 1 and you could see she wanted to get into it with her and was fighting everything in her power to keep to the 'Zen' image. In the first part of Meredith vs Jen, I also feel unless producers produce a receipt that in the Brooks battle Meredith is lying so TeamJen on that. And the producers were producing receipts throughout Part 1 so more reason to believe Jen. For once. LISA. I said it best when I say B I T C H. Clearly, Lisa is jealous of the fact that Rihanna is one of the many fans who has fallen in love with Heather. Heather IS the breakout star. She is sooo relatable AND has her own business and money. She is everything that Lisa is, but NICER. And that BURRRNS Lisa up. Clearly, she and Jen have an alliance going on so Lisa is just being the guard dog for her. For now. I love that my Fabulous Ice held her own against everyone coming for her. Mary dogwalked the h#$% out of her. Whitney tried it. Meredith gave her points. But Heather draggggggggggggggged her at the end of Part 1. While all of this is good TV for Lisa...sorry about the fandom...it looks like SHE needs some self-reflection right now like Jen is doing. Either that or she needs to MEREDITH. Yeah, I understand that she wants to stand up for her child like any mother. However, it is clear to everyone that your son was looking for a moment. It also looked like Jen told no lies by saying he was white and prevlieged. #facts And he acts it. Also JEN DID NOT KNOW. So it was not her fault. Other than that I was curious about the fallout between Meredith and Lisa. They are finishing each other's sentences at all. WHITNEY. Girl, you need practice. lol. That faked receipt. SMH. But that said, she did good during the reunion. Her and Heather double-teamed Heather beautifully. Both got their turn to point out how Lisa had wronged them and the fact that she really is not a nice person versus she might just be too blunt. I am a blunt person and know when I am being a d&*(/diva/bitca vs when I say something that is to the point which can shock people with my straightforwardness. And someone who can see that difference KNOWS when they are doing so. So I loved Whitney saying the difference. I loved Heather saying the same. But it just fell on deaf ears. HEATHER. YOU DRAG THAT TRICK, HEATHER!!! You explained. Whitney explained. Even Mary...an actual friend...explained. And Lisa STILL does not get it. You tell her the truth since she is so straight forward. A straight forward person can deal with it. Lisa CANNOT. She's a bitca. that's jealous of you. GET...HER. And how dare Lisa blame her for the fact that the audience is attacking her on SM. I loved how much shade she threw at Lisa. 'Jen wanted to upgrade to THIS.' I was DEAD. Lisa barely recovered. MARY. MVP. Heather vs Lisa was close, but for me Mary coming in and owning EVERYONE was a thing of beauty. And if people came for her, she did read them like a scripture. I LIVED. Especially how her heel stayed on Jen's neck. STAYED. Someone online suggested that it seem like Mary did not watch anything, but her own scenes this past season so she was hearing all of what happened at the reunion in real time. And that made all the difference. She was giving her honest opinion with honest reactions. And she STILL threw shade, gathered people (mostly Lisa this time) and dragged (Jen) so effortlessly. She spared no one's feelings. Even her wigs'. lol. Her ShebySheree kookiness has to come back next season. ETA: Messy Andy wants to be a HW so bad. Thankfully he's more controlled so far.

RHOP Oh, lord...who done pi@#ed off Monique now? Sounds scorched earth to me...

SLC LET HER KNOW, MARY!!!

Thank you. I completely agree. I didn't realize how much talking was going on and saw the bold. Like @Gray Bunny I also felt Alison was the heart of the show. And like @Soaplovers said, I would have not have her leave the show without Billy since they had them set up to be together and go through so much mess from Day 1. And as a regular viewer back then part of the appeal that kept people going was that the first season did soooo much to leave the groundwork for everything that followed. Right down to the introduction of Amanda.

Uh...I would only believe that if Willow was introduced under the JP and SA and not the current writers.

NJ NEXT WEEK!!! The ladies are BACK!!!

Boo!!!

Hmmmmm...I...wouldn't mind.

Thank you. I had seen Holly's coda scene (and foine-as-he-aged Ethan), but I had no idea if it was a dangling plot thread. Good for Scorpio for the delay since he is mixing it up now by being in the Ned/Olivia story AND the Anna/Finn/Jackie/Chase story. Add on Peter. And the sky is the limit on possibilities where his story could go.

Same. There's a reason I call her Fabulous Ice. Hahahahahaha. I love my Fabulous Ice, but Mary will gather you. Watch your step.

Heellllllllllllllllllo, Chad!!! But as who?

LOL!!!! Oh, Scotty!!! Well...there was the Kristina sighting so...

Yay!!! I made it to today!!! And this is building nicely. We have a mystery person with Alex's will, something recorded, and a letter for Peter. Dimitri? Anna's onto Obrecht and is on the warpath. And I wanted to say that I've been liking Valentin the last two weeks. I cannot seem to find the word. If he was a woman, I would say he's playing the 'vixen' role. And I've been loving it. So...he's being a rouge? Is it too much to ask for Ava and Nina to go after Carly? Double custody battle? I like that they are trying to keep Nina rational, but I want her to go revenge all up on Carly. And the hints CW has been giving in her performance is making me cross my fingers. Goodness knows Carly could use a rival and Nina is in the perfect position now to be a great one. And I might have missed it since I've only recently started back regularly but...does Robert know yet that Holly is alive?

RHOD Yeah, I wasn't really feeling tonight until Tiffany's Pizza Party. And even then the Dallas Coven (Kary, Brandi, Kameron sadly, and Stephanie) just had to be overdramatic about it. Do I feel Tiffany was in the right for the sneaky cultured food? No. While I could understand why she did it, as a host, sometimes people are not going to like what a host brings out when it comes to food. Or they might be allergic. It is something I deal with at work all the time...and I deal with some really stupid people. lol. She should not have to force anything on anyone PERIOD. Now as a prank...okay, she gets that. lol. And given the potty humor, tone deaf pranks, and literally s&(* in hats that go on on this show, not one of these heffas can sit there (debatably Kameron can since this has been a recurring drama between the two of them) and be all overdramatic over some crickets in pizza. NOT ONE OF THEM. I did enjoy the fact that RealBrandi almost came out, revealing her whole storyline IS a storyline. *cough*redemption*cough* And that is why it will not work. I left the episode wishing to see more of Jen. I posted a story earlier about RHOV and on that page it had a little more tea about what would have happened with her. If true, yeah, I could see why she was cut if they are keeping it light because it could have been dark. Or inspiring. As is it seems like it is LeeAndra/Tiffany vs Kary/Brandi/Stephanie with Jen in the middle with Kameron doing whatever she feels like it with Kary leanings. Which is good because it has been clear for a while, was clear again tonight, and will be clear next week that LeeAndra and Tiffany have each other's back. And I continue to enjoy that. I guess they are the mature female friendship that I expect and do not see with Brandi/Stephanie. LEEANDRA. Still following LeeAnne for a storyline. Tired. BUT like I said above, I loved anything where it was her and Tiffany interacting and being friends. Heck, even Kameron got into the act with them. And that was a great moment to see them having fun, being rich bitcas, and enjoying more of Tiffany's closet. TIFFANY. I found her bossy, too. LOL!!! I'm not going to lie. However, that was HER HOUSE. And she had rules. And I respect that she was upfront that it was a simple dinner party and there was a cut off time. The Dallas Coven was just being upset for the sake of it which made me RME. As a Southerner, even I know what a dinner party is and we do dinner parties OFTEN. Since I'm not married and know this...you can imagine what I think about them thinking they are playing dumb over Tiffany's very normal rules. I liked the prank and even when they got dramatic, she was enough of a host to try to fix the solution. And her husband was adorable for co-host due to her being late due to work. STEPHANIE. Her and the POC co-worker gave me soap 'POC as a talk-to' vibes. NEXT. BRANDI. Hehe...she literally was going to sit there and freak out over crickets given some of what she has done. GIRL, SIT YOUR A$$ DOWN. That Stephanie wanted to sit there and hold her hair like some bootleg Robyn to Chucky's Gizelle. NEXT. KAMERON. Well, I know @Cat will be happy to know the trainer was back. But otherwise...I was not feeling her. I think today's earlier news with her and Tiffany has surprisingly soured me with her today and I've always liked her. So...uh oh? for me. Because she was fun here. She gave great THs tonight. And I still feel that she was in the right this time over the crickets and being sneaky. But I was not feeling her like I usually do. Judging from the preview of next week...this looks like it is only temporary. KARY. Hm. Lint. NEXT. That's all I got. I guess the first dull episode for me this season. But at least it looks like it will pick up again next week with the road trip.

Well, I cannot say that they don't look good together. And it IS refreshing to see her away from Jason. And someone was looking good in those boxer briefs...lol. I definitely find the idea inspired. Sonny's son. Alexis's daughter. And they are both so connected to so many people and yet not related. I guess...hmmmm? I mean some of what I see in the two has potential. And then some of it is forced. Looks like they are doing what they happened with Sam and Patrick where it was started sllllowly and friends.

Oh...him. lol. But this really seems to have legs to it. I will probably watch this week. I'm starting to get really curious.

I was just discussing this with my co-worker a few hours ago. I saw that JT was getting a lot of backlash during SuperBowl and saw it was not about the halftime show. It's on my Hulu so I am definitely considering watching it...especially since the Wendy Williams docu was all kinds of juicy.

@Antoyne agree. Again it makes me wonder what to expect from the midseason trailer.

Is that Annie Dutton crazy eyes that Nina is giving off? Uh oh... ETA: Now that was how you do a Friday cliffhanger!!!! On yesterday's episode. lol.
