RHOA Uh oh now... NY Well everyone knows I need to do a binge of NY since my first season to peek in really was Season 8 with Bethanny's return, but if you all are saying this LuAnn is SEASON 4 LUANN...not sure I want to go back. lol. Definitely seen her as a classist at times, but still feel some kinda of way about her after this week. DALLAS DEFINITELY was renewed for S6. But they are putting it on break with OC (and RHOA though that should start to film again in 3 to 5 weeks supposingly) to see about how to reboot it.

BH For something so serious...that felt so light. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Of course the episode was about two things. The most serious thing being Crystal vs Sutton. And unpopular opinion, but I feel (unlike LuAnn on this week's NY) Sutton is just ignorant. It has been established since last season that she was an odd bird and even Crystal mentioned it. Ignorant people can be taught differently and Crystal basically said it was time for Sutton to get caught up with the times. I feel that something Sutton had slllooooowwwwwly been doing by becoming friends with Garcelle. And Garcelle is definitely not the type to be close friends with someone with deep racist tendencies. I did not like Sutton trying to talk over Crystal when she was talking about her experiences as Asian. And I did like that Crystal was able to move it and their bonding over their father's passings. However, Sutton was doing too much. Yeah, that was some white fragility there, but I feel she will get over that. And she will at least apologize for her ignorance. Going forward I feel this is going to be thorny than it appears to be or turn into a goofy feud because online they seem very frenemies-ish. And then the episode was about the Fabulousness of Kathy Hilton!!! OMG!!! She is just a fun nut. How can you hate on a woman with a fan, newspaper, a bag of chips, and a Red Bull!!! The prank was HILAROUS...until Sutton ruined it. She continued to be a breath of fresh air. And she definitely keeps the fun going. And while slow paced than the first two episode, it was a pretty good episode. KYLE. She was pretty much the bun of online jokes this week. And I'm here for that. But never forget that this Crystal vs Sutton talk started because she was talking about Garcelle. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. I will give her this much. She was funny in that prank. ERIKA. Only good for reaction shots just like a good blow-up doll. DORIT. Loved that she (and Garcelle) were in on this job. She was fun thoroughout just like Kathy. GARCELLE. You know you are a queen when you have haters. And as said above, Garcelle so far has been beating that second season curse. However, it has been noticed that the Coven are coming for her online. It has also been noticed that the racism is coming out of a lot of fans for her. How...vulgar. She has been nothing but class and straightforwardness and yet Crystal is the only one allowed to call out someone. Or is that because she is calling out that nasty Coven...who have it coming btw? I can't with that. She was fun here and still straight forward by asking about the texting between Erika and Ex Soap Opera Star just in case it was about Sutton. I am afraid as well the attacks on her start next week. I am just glad that she appears to be ahead of the game and playing her cards extremely well. SUTTON. I feel like I need to go and find that Tyra Banks gif from ANTM cuz GUUUURRRRRRLLLL!!! I know I am coming at it from a different perspective. She reminds me of a close friend of mine who during lockdown wanted to talk to me about all the history she read (since she loves nonfiction) about black people in America. And once I got her to stop crying and apologizing as if she was the person responsible, we had a good talk about that and moved on. She's been a great ally back in Arkansas and that is something to admire how she went out there, educated herself, and WANTS to do what she can. In light of the fact that this week was 100th anniversary of Black Wall Street, I feel it's timely for all of these talks. BUT she was doing too much throughout the episode. Her...well Karen...popped out. Still care, but that was a bad look for her. CRYSTAL. She's growing on me. I liked a lot of what she revealed this episode. And I liked that she was over Sutton (sorry, Sutton) and kept trying to move on. I love her way with words. KATHY. Boss. There was not a moment of film that was wasted on her. So good episode.

It's pretty much a known fact that Bravo very very rarely adds any reality personality outside of another network. Might steal their thunder. But...nothing like some speculation. I do agree that doing the 'Tori Spelling' approach isn't helping Evelyn either.

LOL!!! I only said I know her rep. I didn't say I want her on Bravo. Though I doubt the BH women can handle her. Heck, Ex Soap Opera Star would have to work to keep up with some messiness to beat Evelyn.

YAY!!!! Someone posted the wedding montage from 3x05!!!

LOL!!! I just went back and saw you mentioned it, too. My bad.

@Faulkner awwww. Nice to see I am not the only one that thought that about Leah last night. I think it was the first time so far this season she was real. And to be fair about LuAnn...I thought she was pretty vicious to Sonja last week and did not like it at all. I know she has belayed Sonja before but this is the first time I thought it was quite nasty. So I was happy Eboni stepped in then. @Cat Full discourse...I...more in hindsight now than back then...loved SB's Carly. As a kid, I HATED SB's Carly so SB did her job extremely well. I think TB's Carly is the first recast on a soap (OLTL was my main soap growing up) that I gave a chance to...helped by they looked so similar to each other enough that my mind accepted it. It also helped that I am a big Bobbie fan so having her around more helped me accept her. I did drop off watching GH for a long while, but seeing old clips and watching TB take Carly and turn her into this independent woman while not losing ANY of her grit that I was used to from SB's Carly...making Carly her own and still a fighter...I cannot help but love her. And what stood out for me is how TB used every word, every syllable to get under an enemy's skin. I loved how she did it. Her elevator talk with Sam about Brenda being a stand out. Sorry off topic...lol. I meant LuAnn. I don't even watch BBW and I know she's a force. They couldn't handle her. lol. Oh...and maybe re: Erika/Tom Docu. Hulu BRITNEY SPEARS docu was pretty good. And I can't wait for the JANET JACKSON one.

I swear does Trina ever get a break? lol.

awwww PBS. Good memories. But same.

Hmmm....Sean is going to be there? We're in. lol. But seriously...AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris, you know I love you, but I feel that there have been other housewives other than Jen Shah who have rent a house for filming. Or maybe I'm just getting it mixed up with Housewife Renters period ie. Dorit/PK. NY ... And it was going well. Matchmaking by LuAnn. Nude Model. Ramona being Ramona. It was all good. So of course something had to mess it up. What was expected: Leah being the cause. BUT...for this episode at least...I feel like she was acting out more because of what's going on with her grandmother than her acting out to be relevant. And she came across as human to me. No matter how much she tried to stay normal (well, TV Leah if you will...getting into that old argument with Ramona about being vulgar) it was just not working. So her exploding at the end just seem like frustration over Grandma. And...relatable. What was NOT expected: LuAnn's action toward Eboni. No, no, no, Hun. I...I had to rewatch to see if I saw what I thought I was seeing. The Tamara Braun (with less class) enunciation. The word 'angry.' The doubling down on the 'angry' once Eboni explained why she should not do that and it was clear AF *takes a breath* that there was a missing word between 'angry' and 'woman' and how Lu worded it was implied AF. It made have started about LuAnn's ego, but it sunk into the realm of micro-aggressions. And unlike Sutton over on BH, it looked intentional. Bad form, Countess. BUT FIRST... THINGS I LOVED. OOOOOo...NUDITY. One of my oldest college friends and hometown girl made great money being a nude model in art classes when I was in college. I always liked her freedom to do that given she was a force to be reckoned with girl outside of the art room. So I find people's demeanor fascinating. The guy was interesting to watch. Funnily enough I found him attractive outside of his clothes vs with clothes on. He really didn't look like much though nice personality. But I LOVE the sparks Sonja and he was giving off. Especially since Sonja was not for the matchmaking with the musician. Is it too much to ask that Sonja get some lovin? VICTORIA. I feel like LuAnn's children pop up as cameos when I watch. I only know them by pictures online. So it was nice to see one of them here. Hollered at Ramona sitting with her and asking her about vulgar talk IN FRONT OF THE NUDIST. EBONI. She continues to be a revelation this week. And she is really making me think about how I present myself as a black man. She is witty. She is definitely intelligent and it shows in every interaction she has had. She has been nothing but game for anything and showed compassion. And as we saw last night, she can still hold her own without coming across as the stereotype LuAnn tried to place on her. She outsmarted her good and God bless her for it. How can you ask someone to explain themselves and then not allow them to speak? I mean REALLY??? And that clip of her getting in her feels next week made me want to hug her. I've been there and it resonated. How to get your point across without being gaslit into a stereotype. SONJA. After weeks of Eboni having her back, I cheered seeing Sonja have hers. Their developing friendship continues to be a highlight for me so far. RAMONA. Well, one thing you can always count on...Ramona is gonna Ramona. HEATHER. She just fits in sooooo well. GARTH. WOOF. THINGS I DID NOT LIKE LUANN, YOUR COUNTESS IS SHOWING. And boy was it not a good look!!! smh. The education argument was typical NY and probably would have not exploded into a dark direction. But that classist came out. And that was followed by the micro aggressions. Yeah, no, Lu...as a fan...I really ain't feeling her right now. And the fact that Eboni will be off line for the next few weeks means this is about to get WORSE.

hahahahaha

He sure is a BEAST. LORD HAVE MERCY!!!

Yay! Finally playing catchup. Slowly getting into Episode 4. I'm happy to see that the girls are getting a long season this season. I can't remember why Jackie and Simone are fighting. Other than Heavenly wedging herself between the two. Am I missing something? I was happy to see Ms. Quad. Toya is doing too much. And I am liking Anila's background so far. Her trying to pop on the screen...not so much. And awwww...how the kids have grown so much on this show. I was SHOCKED to see Alura.

Great minds...

Same. Definitely a fan.

And now after watching that and seeing the first few seconds of today's episode, I'm wondering if it's Liz that pushed Peter down the stairs. if so...YAAAASSS!!!!

Yes, it's Imani, Hilary/Amanda's sister. They gave her a brief, but intriguing intro last year when Amanda went looking for her family. The actress has great chemistry with MM and I really wanted to see more of her since the writing was setting up that Imani was a force to be reckoned with as they laid groundwork for what seems to be going on with Amanda right now. I'm pretty behind. But I was hoping she would show up again and thankfully someone mentioned that she would be back. XTR just posted some more pictures of her above. But they really do look like sisters. And I loved she was slllllowly introduced. ETA: @xtr thank you for those pictures. She really has such presence in those pictures, too. I love it.

Okay who was that screaming? Looks pretty good and hopefully it leads to someone doing something...

But tbf aren't HWs always renting?

Awwwww HELL NO!!! THAT'S how they reintroduced RH??? And of course right in the middle of a good story, too. I can't. Meanwhile, I can to that Jason/Britt love scene. WOW. I see what you all were talking about. It was worth the wait. And THAT is how you do a slow burn. And the writers keep deepening their characters over this past week. Liking Cyrus vs Carly as well. I continue to like the meet-cutes with Sam and Dante, but just wish the writers would let it happen naturally. I admit also that I like this fastforwarded technique that has been used this past week. It really does built tension. And it just occurred to me that right now, there are so many stories under the same roof at the Quartermaine mansion. Chase's poisoning. Brooklyn baby. Olivia and Ned's problems. That is just board strokes. That does not even include subplots. Things to make you go hmmm.

Hehe

O...M...G...

Hmmmm. So GH is looking like a solid C.
