I never said my Fabulous Ice did not like her kids. It's been fun to see her Type A deal with being a mom. And watching find a way to find that balance. It's been there throughout the season so I like that as the season ended, the producers came back to her thoroughline. Namely THIS. I too like the mask. @Faulkner I am sure Ex Soap Star and Kyle will lost it when they see it once they are done cast tripping here. That reminds me...to answer your question a few pages back re: La Dame's tweet. In case, you did not see it...Gizelle and Robyn did an interview with some DC Local I believe to sell wine. And during the interview, Gizelle decided (after drinking too much allegedly) to start talking about Karen like she always does...saying that Karen must be stalking her given how much she talked about Gizelle. La Dame caught wind...and thus, the response. Speaking of POTOMAC...well...looks like they are FILMING already right now. Testing scenes for the potential newbies I believe.

SLC A more extended reunion preview...I like Heather called Lisa out like we did here...

SLC A 90 minutes (and not a WWHL add-on in sight) well spent. Like most of this season, the finale was easy and breezy. It was enjoyable. There was plenty to see in scenery...and not just men. And I felt it was a proper ending, closing out this first season. So of course, it was all about Jen. At least Jen tried. After a looooooooooong season of her going off at the drop of an envelope, Jen was on the outs with everyone...even her BFF Heather. So she would either try to redeem herself or exit stage left. Thankfully (or not) she went for Option 1. Good for her for womaning up to do so. Now while she stumbled at the end...and good on Whitney for catching it...at least she managed to give out some form of an apology...and of course shade Mary...who hopefully will be there next season for those two to bounce off each other. JEN. You know for someone that spent her off-season studying all of the housewives shows, you would think she would know when to pull back when a housewife is on the outs. You know...real Queen Bee/MVP stuff...lol. That said...I liked she did the work. And that she got a husband who knows how to dance and get her to mellow out. I could almost give her the benefit of the doubt during to her father's passing as part of...and only part of...the reason she is this way. But again, she still has not completely owned what she did. Like Meredith said...it will be her actions going forward that will determined if the words she was saying at Heather's launch party were the real thing...or just an act. Allowing Heather to go off on her...which she deserved...WITHOUT interrupting Heather, and TAKING IT was a great start. HEATHER. GO ON, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry it was at her launch party, but she said nothing but truth and dragged the he#$ out of Jen...right down to her Shah Squad only being there for her because she paid them. If we are going to talk a real MVP, it would be Heather. She came across real, genuine, and a real friend...and has a big heart because she appeared to forgive Jen at the end of the finale. And they were back to witty banter. Hopefully, Jen understood what she almost lost. PS. Loving Heather's online banter with hottie doofus Alex from BELOW DECK MED. Get it, Heather. WHITNEY. Love how she continued to keep Jen on her toes. It's like a nice subtle rivalry and I could be here for that in Season 2. As long as Whitney and Heather get along, Jen won't go toooooo overboard. And also as Mary's close friend, there will always be drama between Whitney and Jen so good. She also brought the realness with her drama with her father. I hope they stay okay, but rumblings online suggest that did not hold up so MEREDITH. I like the mask. I like that her story with Seth has a happy ending since it drove most of the drama this season. I like she is holding Jen at arms length. I love that even BFF Lisa cannot get her to change her mind, either. Again...Jen's actions will determine if they become friends again. But...has Jen learned? LISA. Oh, Fabulous Ice...I know you will be owning that reunion already, but I didn't like how she met Jen in private when she was all 'I won't be her friends' again. How...sneaky. I liked she appeared to find a balance between family and work. Time will tell. MARY. Made it out of the closet!!! And also looks like she will be bringing it at the reunion. Her expression this episode at the launch party was a hoot. So...good finale.

I agree. I do think that it is jealousy now vs trying to take down the alpha dog last season. No sympathy from me. Hmm...As for D'Andra...Idk. I knew she had it. And I know at the start of the episode I didn't notice...perhaps the Clark Kent Effect (her with glasses). But I would say once they went to the bar so maybe what you were saying about how all that makeup makes her face look in the light because it kept jumping out at me. It was so bizarre. I also think less is more since it hasn't really jumped out at me at all before now.

OC I admit...I've been putting it off. It sounded like the last part of the reunion was...a lot. Didn't sound like it was in a good way. I will say...WAY TO WASTE A CLIFFHANGER. After Shannon ended Part 1 by leveling a damning accustion at Braunwyn, I admit that I was curious to see how that would be handled. Especially since the rumor was that the editors had to do some fast editing on Part 2 a la RHOP Reunion Part 3. What we got...was barely noticed. Nor damning. As usual Andy Cokehead was in protect the favorite mode...and let's deflect!!! When I'm on Kelly's side (and the looks she was giving to Braunwyn were telling cuz she could smell the bs), something is definitely wrong. So...I would say it was a mess. And not even in a good way messy. Just a mess. KELLY. When did Kelly become the voice of reason? I mean...really??? The looks. The side-eyes. The vibe that she definitely felt her days were numbered. It was all there on her face and her body language. I even respect that she kept her wedding low-key. However, she kept shooting herself in the foot (i'm black...girl, bye), and Andy Cokehead was definitely not covering for her. He ignored her more this time around. GINA. I felt she came out of the reunion smelling like roses. I only regret that the montage of her storyline this season should have gone down how the montage made it seem...NOT what it was at all really. I also thought it was just delicious that given her history with her ex-husband that Gina was asking all the right DV questions with Braunwyn and Shaun. EMILY. Kind enough to be there for Braunwyn when she was being dramatic and support Braunwyn's son as he explored his sexuality. Firm enough to come for Braunwyn over her fakery. I think she's the only person that did not have a reaction to Elizabeth coming out as bi. After a season of Thirsty Emily and Old School Emily, it was nice to see her find a good balance. SHANNON. Honestly? Irrelevant after the first five minutes. It was only Andy who kept her relevant at all. Everyone...Kelly, Emily, Elizabeth, even Gina...continued last week's gang up on Braunwyn. But Shannon who had the smoking gun to finish her...did not...things to make you go hmmmm? ELIZABETH. I honestly would love to see her next season. And nice bombshell that Braunwyn came on to her. And interesting reaction of the ladies to her coming out as bisexual. I felt like she was being real. BRAUNWYN. Is anything about her real? I even felt her breakdown was fake and phoney. And again...when Kelly has become the voice of reason...yeeeeeah you deserve the gang-up you get. I was even side-eyeing Shaun during their segment...which going online was an apt thing to do. I feel they are both thirsty and should just go away. Great start to the reunion, weak finish. SLC A taste...and I do hope Fabulous Ice aimed that comment right at Andy... ETA: FULL reunion trailer...

DALLAS I am not going to lie...I rewind Tiffany gathering Kary all the way together last night quite a few times. I've always said last year that Kary said things like that to get a reaction out of LeeAnne. And how LeeAnne reacted was more about mocking Kary as a person, not Kary as a Mexican. And now Kary this year has been going around being LeeAnne even more than D'Andra has been LeeAnne. Season FOUR LeeAnne at that. So negative...and wasn't that the issue Kary claimed to have with her? 😎 This episode reminded me of the one episode of RHOP that I felt was filler last year. In fact, I want to say that was the first episode post-fight...where the episode spent the first part of the episode on the aftermath of the fight and then it went on to try to be a typical RHOP episode...but the tonal change was so jarring. This episode of DAL was like that. The difference was that the ladies of RHOP separate were interesting enough to do something like that. The ladies of RHOD...well... LEEANDRA. First of all, when or if you watch @Cat and @DaytimeFan, her plastic surgery was a mess. I didn't notice it at first. But by the end of the episode, you could not not see it...or the fact that her face was not moving. Since you two have better ideas of it than I, I figured a warning might be in order before viewing. That said...it was the only thing that bothered me about her this episode and it was minor. I loved that she had Tiffany's back. I loved that it felt like she and Tiffany were tag-teaming Kary very good in fact. Now do I think it is all about LeeAndra...well...*sips* KARY. Trifling heffa. She picked on LeeAnne last season for always bringing up her past pain. She picked on LeeAnne for being negative all the time. She picked on LeeAnne for playing the 'my pain is bigger than yours' game. It's funny a year later she has upped and turned into LeeAnne. She has been nothing but negative. She has used her kids for storyline, thus past pain. And then she tore out that page from LeeAnne's playbook and dared to play the 'my pain is bigger than yours' game. At least LeeAnne would have already said it several times by now, not as a last minute weapon ...oh, wait...actually LeeAnne would use it as a last minute weapon, too. Never mind. In any case, if there is anything that I do not like it is someone trying to use their ethnicity as an excuse for them to be rude and/or nasty to someone who has done nothing to them so I loved Asian Kenya gathering her all the way together. And proved my point...it was not about an ethnicity...it's about YOU AS A PERSON, KARY WITH A K!!! And she dragged her for good. Asian Kenya didn't ask for you so don't come for her. And came Kary did, and she got what she had coming. On the show BTW. Cuz Ms. Asian Ken has been dragging her from one side of Twitter to the other. Disgusting trashbox. BLOOP. KAMERON. Love you, Boo...but saddling up with Kary because you have a beef with Tiffany... I will give her this much...her and Kary running off with Captain Brandi and hiding it in the corn fields gave me shades of the horror movie pre-Co-Vid called MIDSOMMAR. And Kameron was still funny, but the last thing I want for her is to be tainted by the 50YO Giggly Heffa. STEPHANIE. Well...I guess we see why she and Brandi are such good friends after the Panties game. RME. As Irrelevant as Jen currently is. BRANDI. No one is surprised that the cheerleader knows how to twerk. And I admit...that was funny. Especially when the bartender joined. Later on with her and the 50YO Heffa...not so much. It is very clear that like her BFF Steph, Brandi is in an alliance with Kary. If it was not for her trying her best to be fake dramatic over LeeAndra/Tiffany taking on Kary, Kary would have been nothing, but dust. And then she was stirring the pot for Kary to get LeeAndra to fall in line. Girl, bye. TIFFANY. THANK YOU, ASIAN KENYA!!! Someone needed to bring that heffa down a notch or twelve, and she gathered Kary beautifully, effortlessly, and with a dash of sass that I expect from one Ms. Moore. She needed to know what time it was, and what time it was was...we ain't using the same ole tricks last season to play victim. And ooooo...that scene was perfection. And then Kary had the guts to call her diseased for being a doctor. Entitled, much? Drag her to your heart's content. Speaking of heart, it was nice seeing Tiffany's heart on display when she was talking to her husband about her life/work balance and her history with her mother. I know some people online are comparing her to RHOP Wendy, but I do not feel 1)she is only one thing (aka 4 degrees), but multidimensional and 2)I feel Tiffany is giving a lot more than Wendy has. And then next week, she will be dragging these hoes again. I'm here for it. Good episode, but filler.

SLC GET HER, HEATHER!!!

DALLAS Favorite part of last night. Somewhere LeeAnne is laughing...

Yeah she went wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far. Well...my inner Goth likes it. lol.

YAAAASSSS, TIFFANY!!! DRAG KARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DRAG...HER. Yeah, I saw that Garcelle made it as I was heading to work. So good. I am sorry that Sutton got hurt though. Hopefully NO ambushes. There's too much to do in La Jolla for that. As for Tom...that IS interesting. I believe the judge did give his brother temporary conversatory over him. Juicier than the show. lol.

BH So the ladies are running around right now here in San Diego. La Jolla of course...which is the rich area of town. Garcelle IS NOT on the cast trip. Interestingly she is in Del Mar which is 15 minutes away. Things to make you go hmmmmm

EXACTLY!!!

I never thought I'll see the day when this would get a thread before GH or DAYS. That said...WOOOF!!! Nice chocolate.

Finishing it and I liked it, but agree that it was too fast paced.

RHOA Talls vs Smalls. Pretty vs Beasts. And now Aunties vs Nieces. After the fun of RHOD, it was time for RHOA to step it up. And I found that they did here. Finally everyone was together. Everyone was having some fun for the most part. And of course, there was shade...so much shade. However, there was a dark cloud over all of it named Kenya... KENYA. I like that she had some fun moments (when did she and Tanya become cool enough to joke?), but I expect more from Kenya when she is hosting. It made me want to binge old seasons to see if Kenya had been a bad host. I mean last season in Barcelona was her and Kandi, right? So...this was clearly a storyline...or simply the fact that she was going through it with Marc so she had to take it out on someone so...why not the girls? I didn't like that at all. Another thing I didn't like was the editing. That fight with Marlo would have been sooo much better if they had showed the flashbacks in real time, building up to that fight. It would have made so much sense why she was mad at Marlo. Missed opportunity. PORSHA. HOES...I MEAN PORSHA'S POSSE IN THE HOUSE!!!! She was so much fun this episode. And her and Shamea were a hoot and it was good to see them in a good place again. And I hollered at her jumping over the couch during the murder mystery debacle. Awww at Dennis still wanting her, but...she can do better. Any scene with her...or one of her posse (them Nieces Shamea, Falynn, Drew, Marlo, and/or Tanya) was made of win. KANDI. Kenya knows she was wrong for coming at Kandi through food. DEAD wrong. She is going to wind up losing her as a friend...if she has not already. And clearly Porsha was funnier...otherwise Kandi would not be trying to be a Niece....lol. Hilarious. And a lot of Kandi's TH (and looks) was great. CYNTHIA. I thought it was funny that she got there before the other girls. Otherwise...she was just there. DREW. That fight with Latoya was just hyped up. However, the shade they were throwing at each other through out was more entertaining. And in the end, Drew got her good. It was so like the Kandi/Kenya vs Natalie back in Season 6 for me...a badass bitca move to let Latoya know she was out of her league. LATOYA. The only difference between her and Kenya is that I feel like why Latoya is doing too much, it is not coming from a bad place. But...she is messy. And she had some just fun moments as well. Good start to this trip. Now that I think about it. I was in the wrong...I think THAT Chris is Chris Cullen. My apologies. I believe you saw that Garcelle post where she said it seems like she's the next target, but she is on ready. They really should focus on Erika though. SLC Le sigh...she is still in denial an making it worse...

First commerical (with the March 7 date) aired during RHOA tonight. Looks like Simone and Jackie still has their rift. Toya vs Contessa...more of it.

So of course it's going on break. 😜

I feel so embarrassed recognizing the LAGUANA BEACH music but it worked with that video perfectly. I would be done with a hard reboot. Isn't Chris THAT BH producer? If so...BYE.

That was something that was on my mind recently. I saw the SOD cover with Devon/Elena/Nate triangle and I had to think how long has it been since Bryton was on the cover outside of a general Sweeps/Seasonal cover. He's been around for a loooong time. I know there has been discussion for good and bad over Theo and good to tie him to one of the first families on Y&R, but the execution was lacking. And there was definitely more they could do with him now that they did it since he's in the right age range. But the history of black characters of this show? That's a whooole other avenue of history to think about and pull from as well. Lost opportunity. Especially since there is history there...some of which I know of thanks to here and mags but before my time.

OC Awww

RHOA WOW. GET IT, NOELLE!!! lol. LOVE THIS!!! When did they do this?

WOW. That is bittersweet. Where I am watching right now, Devon was talking to Amanda about his relationship with Tucker and how as far as he was concerned Neil was his father. Just in how BJ said it, I felt that. RIP. 50 and 75. And they still look fierce.

Hahahahaha!!! That is how I'm feeling. However if the Devon/Elena/Nate triangle managed to resurrect itself after being rushed a few months ago...maybe there's 'some' hope. I also want to see where Faith's story goes as well.

And that shows dynamic. It's a shame some of the HW shows don't understand that.
