BH I second @Cat. I hate to admit it, but that was a pretty good episode. Perhaps it was because I was dealing with some unexpected personal stuff, but it was the perfect escape. And yes, I said it. 😜 Kathy and Garcelle were a relevation this season. How funny since last season people were all over Garcelle not being there. And now that she is there, people apparently are trying to use her as a scapegoat online. Uhhhh...no, Hun. She has been refreshing as she keeps it real. Same for Kathy who has also been a strong hurricane of fresh air. Even Crystal is bringing it. There were so many elements going on. And who would have thought that was even possible with BH??? Meanwhile, the mystery with Erika (and the shade that Production continues to throw at her...geee...who did she PO?) continued. Yesterday, I posted a light bit of BH tea. And now that I've seen the scene in question....D'oh!!! Well that was stupid of her. So she might have worn a wire? In connection to Tom and at the time before his lawsuit? Things to make you go hmmmm... GARCELLE. Let me talk about Queen Number 1. She was EVERYTHING this week again. Every style. Every words that came out of her mouth (and every bit of shade she threw). Every moment she gave. Garcelle's sitdown with Kyle. Garcelle running for the second floor with her bags to the second floor (GIF PLEASE!!!! cuz I rewinded and hollered). Garcelle vs Ex Soap Opera Star. And what makes her so awesome is the fact that she...KEEPS...IT...REAL. She stays completely transparent to the audience as she stands in her truth. It seems clear to me that again...forewarned (thank you, Ex Soap Opera Star) has meant forearmed and Garcelle is playing this game extremely well. Gathering the ladies together (and keeping that heel on Ex Soap Opera Star's neck) while also educating the world about micro aggressions and why that is wrong. And she is on the right page given how online people have been triggered by her sitdown with Kyle just as much as they were with Crystal vs Sutton. Who's boring now? KYLE. Wow. She was actually LISTENING. It was the running joke last season how she always interrupts others when they are trying to make a point and making it about her. So it was nice to see her sit there and listen. And getting her point across even if she was wrong at the time. And just in case she wanted to sniped Garcelle from the side...Garcelle had her abili (charity went looking for her at the wrong address) ready. Bobby Fischer who? So...Garcelle 1, Kyle 0. DORIT. She was not there really EXCEPT for the humor. And nothing wrong with comic relief. And I look forward to next week with her and Kathy. That clip I posted was hilarious. EX SOAP OPERA STAR. And in that moment...she lost another friend. Garcelle might have been on the fence and been won over. But after last night in Ex Soap Opera Star's bedroom, no wonder Garcelle STILL has not followed her again versus following Kyle again. And I still see she is obsessed with Denise as well. Yeah...NO. CRYSTAL. Hmmmmm...I'm intrigued. RIch husband. Interesting family and maid. Brother who is a pop star on the other side of the world. But...she's hints at a little more. A snob. Is she just being shady to be shady or because she thinks she's above everyone? Time will tell. But there is another thing she hints at...being a bitca. I liked the directness she had with Sutton. I agree with what someone else said online when she said she seem to sense Sutton was about to put her foot in her mouth and tried to save her actually, but alas...lol. She has the potential to be the new ice bitca since the old one is on her way out...hopefully. Speaking of... ERIKA. Why throw that into the conversation game and not answer. You do know that the FBI would see this. And Production could potentially shade you to the point that you should not be on there at all. Because from where I'm sitting, Production is throwing her under the bus...and I'm here for that. Moreso because she is making it worse. And don't think I didn't see her looking down at that telephone moment. The plot thickens... SUTTON. Benefit of the doubt. Why? Personally I felt that what she 'was not going to do' was having Kyle and Crystal talk bad about Garcelle. Sadly, she was drunk and definitely could not use her words right. Something that Crystal also caught on to. Sadly, Sutton did have a moment when she should have shut up. Since her and Garcelle are good friends OFF CAMERA, I am more likely to believe that is what she was doing. Moreso since Garcelle and Sutton even now are still talking and close and if there is one thing Garcelle does not do is being with bs. Also Sutton apparently released a statement online that is sincere vs when other people get caught in their words and double down *cough*kellydodd*cough* Now once I see ALL of the conversation, I might feel differently, but until then, this is my stance. KATHY. And now we end with Queen Number 2. And WOW!!!! She is definitely related to Kim. LOL!!! That said, Kathy has been kooky fun and I am here for kooky fun money!!!! And who didn't like at her not getting the game right...or the now running joke of her mistaking Garcelle for Kyle. And next week...darrrrrrn that girl can drink, shutting Erika all the way up. LOVE. I hate to admit, but...I like this dynamic. Right now, everyone no matter how small is bringing something. And...the wealth is back. As are the secrets...

From next week...Kathy is QUEEN. And I have NEVER found Erika funny, but that look was priceless.

*raises hand* Guilty last season.

Ooooh???? lol.

I see!!!!

@Soaplovers Bethanny would eat her alive. I have no doubt. That reminds me....some BH tea for us hatewatchers... BH Christopher Rogers on Twitter: "FUN FACT: Tonight's episode of #RHOBH was filmed on Oct. 28. Erika filed for divorce on Nov. 3." / Twitter

Oooooo....GO ON, JASON AND BRITT!!!!

*Jaw drops at Colombia and Taiwan*

Yeeessss!!!! Imani is getting play.

Awwww...thank you @victoria foxton. I've been busy with multiple jobs and readjusting my work schedule so I at least try to keep up before they get deleted off my system. Can't wait to see it.

Well, I miss how you make points so that was an interesting discussion to read between jobs yesterday.

Hahahah!!!! 5-13/5-14 LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And already making this Brando/Sasha twist better with her presence. Unlike Gladys. I hope she stays more involved going forward. Meanwhile...this week has been a chore. It just felt like there was no flow to it. Just plot points thrown at the wall to see what will stick. Thankfully, that appears to be shifting. But it's the first bad week for me since the week after the double wedding. Jason/Sam/Britt was interesting to me. The fact she tracked him down and sabotaged Dante. See...conflict!!! Anyway, there was some great subtext going on that I cannot wait to see more of it once this on-the-run story is over. I get that Jax has to be able to be Carly's conscience in this mob storyline. How about...we let Carly be Mob Bitca??? No backpedaling into wishy-washy Carly. No thank you.

NY And I thought last episode was bananas? OMG! The craziness....the shear insane fun of it. I was loving this episode even more than last week's and I LOVED last week's. To echo @Chris B, I was surprised to see this was Episode 4. I found myself wondering...already? Wow. They are showing EVERYTHING and there was not a boring moment at all. The power of these women to give so much and it not at all feel stale at all...even when they are talking/arguing over things that have already past (the history with Tom, LuAnn's history with men period, Leah's 'crude' talk). I was wondered about the loss of Blue Stone Manor, but this has been a great trip so far. And then Heather....awwww Heather. I've enjoyed her every time I've seen her. She tapped into another golden era of RHoNY which is why she STILL fits in with these ladies. And ha at the Carole shoutout. And Leah did not like it. Leah, Leah, Leah. I admit that I feel differently than some of you all. She does not fit in as well as Heather or even Eboni (who I loved immediately liked Heather), but she brings her own crazy eccentrics to the ladies that fit. BUT she is totally throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. The vow of silence. Glamming? This wannabe feud with Heather. Second season curse much??? She was better off just focusing on the drama with her grandma. Oh, well.... THINGS I LOVED: OH MY GOD LU!!! Looks and looks and more looks. From her talking heads to her dress at the dinner to even her workout clothes. Her figure stays banging. To quote her from his episode...in more ways than one. GARTH. Woof. Love him with Lu. Love the ladies reacting to him. Love his...uh...reaction during the workout...if you notice. lol. HISTORY. I was definitely watching during LuAnn and the Tom drama. And stay loving when it randomly comes up. EBONI. I continue to love her presence with these ladies. I stay loving her having Sonja's back. I love the nurturing nature she has with her. And she took on LuAnn this week and I look forward to more of that this week. Her and Ramona getting along has been nice. And LOOK!!!! She was even bonding with Heather...but knew to stay out of that feud. She has been a great Greek chorus with the ladies so far. And we got a glance at her through her call with her Mom. Feisty mom. lol. SO FAR. Simply because there was so much craziness and I was here for it but know I might forget something. lol. RAMONA AND THE BUTLER. lol. Their whole conversation over the tequila shots was hilarious. HOLLA GIRL IS BACK!!!! And it was hilarious. And it was funny to see Ramona and Sonja 'banish' her to the lower levels just like with LuAnn last season. And even Heather seem to be in on the joke so I...hollered. She just fit in so well with the madcap, but brought a rational nature that has been missing a bit for a season or so. And of course she handled herself well with Leah. And I hollered at some of LuAnn's looks. Some of why I love her is her delusion when someone says something bad about her and she seems offended or shocked they would since she is soooo fabulous (well, she is, but...lol). And this was one of those moments. THINGS I DON'T LIKE: LEAH BEING IRRELEVANT. Funny how she was a firecracker last season, but she is grabbing for anything to stay relevant. When she should just...be herself. And we know I'm not here for her coming for Heather. I am so worried that the ladies are going to be sway for it. SONJA. She bounced back beautifully, but I am worried about her. And I loved Eboni being there for her throughout. And Episode 5 looks like more of the same. Nude hottie. Leah going off on the ladies. LuAnn vs Eboni. Here for it.

@Cat that reminds me...YEEEEESSS!!! The narration DID sound like Monique at first. Nice to see that I'm not alone. As far as POTOMAC style, I thought the beginning of it...a town of secrets if you will...did touch on that Wisteria Lane vibe and at the same time going back to its roots if you remember the very first promo for POTOMAC. Its hook was no one knew where POTOMAC was and as Gizelle said in that promo they preferred to keep it that way...a tiny little secret. The haves...and the have-nots. And what one would do be among the haves. I am sure I will do a binge of the show before Season 6 to see how long that vibe kept up.

Ding, ding, Ding!!! You hit it right on the bullseye. She is Ethiopian/East African. And proud of it from early reports. As for La Dame and that remark...I bet the latter. 😜

THIS wedding dress montage...to Deelite's 'Groove is in the Heart'...was perfection. Great episode. Elektra was EVERYTHING. From the opening montage, to the wedding dress montage above to the bachelorette party, Ms. Jackson gave look after look after look. And this episode you can see the growth that has gone into the character over three seasons. Cuz Old Elektra would just be totally into herself and money. And after last season it's great to see her, Blanca, Lulu, and Angel together again. Speaking of the road trip...we get a viciously delicious read from her that TOPS the country club Karen she read. And let me tell you...as soon as she started to lubricate...hehe...I mean drink up the wine, you just KNEW the library was about to open. And speaking of looks, Blanca continued to give some. Love the cream dress she had with the pony hair to the one side. We even got a cameo from Candy's surgeon...Ms. Orlando. It was like the writers want to make up for her not appearing in Episode 3. And it was nice to see her before the show ended. Now the drama with Papi and Angel is such a soap staple. However, at the same time it was nice to see some conflict there that felt organic. Next week will be interesting if only to see if the conflict will be resolved organically or feel rushed. ETA: THE READ...FROM YOUTUBE... And just in case...Twitter...

5-11 Now...WHAT was THAT? If I thought they would do something with race relations...and I thought the scene with Cameron with a gun on Jordan was kinda triggering given what has been going on in the world...I wouldn't have minded it. And I admit to liking that they followed up on Jordan's feelings about that scene...but THIS was just clumsy writing. And they said those lines with a straight face. However, the scene with Cameron and Trina came across better. The idea was there. And there's potential in exploring race relations...soaps used to be good at touching on contemporary themes. But...this was a no. UNLESS they do something with it. 5-12 And as warned by @Faulkner The Dante shave. I will miss Caveman Dante BUT so happy you did not say how the reveal came down. THANK YOU. Worth the wait...and a rewind.

YES. @Soapsuds's. lol.

POTOMAC And let's not forget about the new friend. She looks breathtaking...Askale Davis... @Chris B my bad! I just realized you were talking about her. But I love that that was a great trailer, too and it does not at all show a lot of what little I know about the season. Should be fun.

5/10 Awwww at Ned and Brooklyn and the guitar. It made me think of old school Ned/Brooklyn which was a nice touch of continuity. Ugh. Did Peter just off this woman to put an imposter in her place. So really for him to leave. Along with that 'evil genius' voice. He is clearly trolling. Continuing to swoon at Britt/Jason.

She really needs to stop making Paster Holy Whore a storyline. That said...lol at La Dame.

YOU KNOW I'M HERE, BITCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JULY 11 BABY!!! Even if my internet wants to be funny now. lol. And... That was the business!!! Here for Wendy vs Gizelle (people tried to warn her...and look at who started the Eddie rumor in the trailer). Here for Mia vs Robyn...and Candiace. Getting a taste of her medicine. And we know I'm here for...LA DAME GRANDE!!! SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'S BACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

hehe

JS Darn right!!! TGIF!!!

SMH. Shame, Shamea.
