As they should. It didn't even have to be this way. AT ALL.

RHOA Oh, darn it!!! My eyes teared up at that montage for Riley. She really had grown up. And awwww at Ace being sad since they are so close. And he got a confessional!!! lol. I agree with Always_AMC. I thought it was an entertaining episode overall. It did point out what has really been missing so far. And someone mentioned it online. And that has been FULL Group Scenes. For weeks now, we have had Kenya/Cynthia/Kandi on one side aka Team Old School (with Latoya) and then you have Porsha's Posse (Porsha, Tanya, Falynn, Marlo, and Joi) on the other side. Then you have Drew in her own little storyline. There have been crossing, but it's been light. Not the full on group scenes we are used to from this show. And tonight they all meant...and it was entertaining from the shade, the looks, and what was going on. And it was old school RHOA again without the toxicity. I knew due to Co-Vid, they cannot go all the way in yet. You have Porsha still travelling at this point. And Drew was still recovering from an injury. But I believe the Kandi's event next week is when Drew will properly be around more so I cannot wait. Meanwhile, we need more of Team Old School vs Porsha's Posse. For me...that's going to be where the real fun is at. KENYA. Queen of Team Old School, it was nice to see her back in fine firm. Latoya is bringing her back to life. And that can only mean one thing...MESSY. I enjoyed seeing her clowning with Cynthia and Latoya in lingerie. I enjoyed seeing her light sparring with Tanya. And of course, she is still mad at Porsha. Even if it is not her fault that she was uninvited. But you can already tell it is going to turn into a bigger conflict. Right now, it's just a light fun. And yes, I loved her shade at Nene. #gonebutnotforgotten PORSHA. Queen of the much fun-ier posse. And...SHE'S WRITING A BOOK!!!! I liked her family scenes. I never knew Lauren was her half sister. She does not at all act like they are. And nor does it matter. They are sisters. HOWEVER she is more fun when she is getting under Kenya's skin. And SHE WAS. I love the fact that her being unbothered by Kenya is driving Kenya up the wall. Who would have thought? Is it not usually the other way around? And she (and Marlo with those boots) was dynamite at the engagement party fashion-wise. CYNTHIA. OMG! She and Mike thought JOE BIDEN was going to be at what was her engagement party? Really? The producers really enjoyed poking fun at her for it, too with that countdown. And then they walked into their own party...and didn't know??? I can't with her. lol. It was cute that she asked Kenya and Kandi to be BRIDESmaids. hehe. KANDI. Yeah...I bet Kandi does know what she's doing. GO KENYA...lol. And Kandi with the 'yessir!' look when Kenya said if she was to do it with a woman, who it would be. And look! MAMA JOYCE!!! And again...that Riley montage...awww...she (and Ace) giving that real moments. DREW. Still off with Ralph dealing with his dad's death. So not around this week. LATOYA. Yeah...her and Porsha seem evenly matched on clapbacks in the brief exchange they shared. That said...she's been fun and less tryhard this week. MARLO. Shady diva...and I was here for it. She hasn't had awesome boots since the goddess boots she wore during Season 6 and I DREAM OF NENE era. Good episode. I think it's a good idea as well. While I don't want Gizelle to lick her wounds (or Andy Cokehead to continue to do damage control as he has been transparently doing since the RHOP reunion), they are not at all ready to be filming right now. Another bonus...they can keep building some great buzz as we all wonder who the new ladies will join and will they be the ones already mentioned.

And just like that...there was a tease...

Since it has not been mentioned, I figured I should say due to Monique's exit and the producers needing to find two new Housewives, they are no longer planning to start filming Season 6 at the end of the month. The filming got pushed back to March.

I did!!! I think it showed up on tv on her bday to boot. It does kinda make one side-eye even more though given this past season. Agree. It so needs a better time slot. I'm surprised Bravo hasn't tried to move it at all.

God is definitely good.

She's a total vibe. And I like it.

SLC Well that was easy, breezy,...and MESSY. Not sure where I land in that drama. I felt like they were all (except for Heather of course who had the wisdom to GTFO as quickly as possible) at fault. Mary...with very little screen time...did damage. The aftermath next week should be fun...and another fourth wall breaking moment as we saw in that clip I posted a few weeks back. WHITNEY. Guuuuuuuuuuuurl!!! LOL!!! On one hand, she has a point. If Jen said she had a truce with Mary, she should have invited Mary to the birthday party. After all, her husband has no problem with Mary. Also it would have been a good olive branch to Mary. So her not doing it says so much about Jen. And this group going forward would need to have that talk. However...on the other hand...yeah, wrong time, wrong place now that it had happened. It was so much fun seeing her and Jen have their dance-off. As well as the group dance-off period. BUT...Whitney did not have to add fuel to the fire by mentioning the Seth/Meredith bomb. THAT was messy. And it was interesting that Meredith and Lisa were blindsided. No, no...messy. Jen was already on a 10, but throwing that out there just seem like Whitney wanted drama. Right idea. Wrong time. Just messy. HEATHER. Right there with ya, Girl!!! I laughed when she saw where it was going and she got out of dodge. lol. I liked that she tried to have her cousin's back. I am impressed that again...she revealed that she already knew more tea, but did not reveal it to ANYONE. She continues to be a good friend. And I'm not sorry to say this...but she looked va-va-voom in that red sweater dress. I can't wait to see where she falls next week after the hot tub fight between Jen and Whitney. I'm literally excited. JEN. Jen, you know how Whitney was wrong for throwing you under the bus. Guess what? You were wrong for making your husband's birthday party ABOUT YOU. She could have been a lady and shut Whitney all the way down then and there. You were right...wrong time, wrong place. But you DID NOT have to do that. She should have pulled a Meredith and disengage. But alas...and looks like her man will be getting into her a@@ next week about drinking and her meds...which is a revelation as well now that I think about it. Is that why you cray cray actually? Hmmmm... MARY. Monique has four homes. Mary has SIX. lol. She did not do much this week, but she suuuuure lit that fuse by saying Meredith and Lisa talk behind Jen's back. Is that true, or is she just been vengeful? Time will tell. Meanwhile, I was enjoying the kookiness she was giving out. LISA. Fabulous ice was none too pleased that Whitney was starting mess with her again. I bet that will come back to bite Whitney. Meanwhile, I continue to like that no matter how funny she comes off, it should be clear that she loves her kids. MEREDITH. She disengaged again!!! lol. It was clear that she did not at all like that tea that Whitney made her drink. And it will be interesting to see where she goes with Jen from here. The taste I got after watching this secret about her and Seth slowly build was good. I cannot wait for the rest. Meanwhile...ugh at her son. Why are you even in scenes with your dad and mom when they are filming unless you want to be on camera? Go away and let them get back together. Just so spoiled. Good episode. Can't wait until next week.

Thank you. Oooooo...jealous.

Interesting news to hear. And thank you as well @Huntress for your information. I just messaged one of my German friends to be sure he was okay. Sounds right and that is appreciated. @Ponds good to hear.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Very true. Wow. 30 pages. I know I will have a lot to say when I catch up on my laptop (versus keeping up with my phone which has not loaded up most of the tweets and the pictures which is why I'll be going back to look) so early apologies for those who will or might be offended by quotes. Well, I see the Universe has been listening and I do hope Pelosi gets it done. As was also said a few pages back if they can sneak in a justice in a week, I would like to think we can impeach in last of that time. It's long overdue to get people to be accountable. @amybrickwallace I might to do this pages back but *hhhhugggssss* I love how she's been giving really good snark this week. Warms my Arkansas heart.

I would go that route. Or even better get a little meta and say Carrie and Samantha had a falling out. The show had some good falling outs between the ladies before...but this...one can be a serious mini-arc. Which can be used to bring in like you said the niece. For example.

See @ChitHappens you are going to make me go back. I guess I looked down at the wrong moment. I was wondering if Ms. Witch was clever enough to figure out what Ruby was up to. And I should have saw it coming with the twist, but I was still as shocked as Leti when she realized it. But...does that mean Ruby is dead then? Because there was so much complexity between her and La Witch and I would hate to not see that. Speaking of complexity, that episode with Hippolyta and Josephine Baker was easily my favorite. Just what it was. And what it really represented and said about black identity and how she came back 200 years later and with blue hair to boot (I love blue hair, have had blue hair BEFORE it was cool, and will have it again before I die TRUST) was just...a statement that I took to heart. And I want more of that, being who you want and whatever you want, no matter your skin color...just such a powerful message there. And using cues from things that are familiar to me from my childhood it just resonated so much to me. And I loved she passed that on to her daughter...robot arm, Lovecraft beast as a pet. lol. Yeah...I liked Anjanue Ellies. A quiet strength about her and then there was a fire to her too. She played them soooo well. I can say that about Wunmi Mosaku as well. So hope she is not dead since there's still so much to play and explore between Leti and Ruby. See...now I'm going to have to go and look again to be sure Ruby made it out again. I honestly can't remember. Ugh.

So we can witness her downfall. LOL!!! You are making me want to do a binge.

OC Due to the craziness of yesterday here in the U.S., I already knew. I needed distraction television. And a glass of wine. And SLC was not on yet. #funshade In all seriousness, this was a good episode. I am surprised that next week is the season finale. I felt like NOW things were starting to heat up. Granted some of this was choppy, but it was good. There was a flow that was missing. Good stuff, but no flow. Kinda like when you want to get from Point A to Point B but rather than take the viewers on the journey to get there. We just did a fast cut to Point B and went 'wait, what?' Other than Emily's family drama the last few episodes and Kelly and her daughter poking fun at it, The Co-Vid storyline I felt was a a wash. A gimmick. It was barely acknowledged this episode. Good given what happened yesterday since distraction TV, but overall, it was like having lightning in a bottle and letting it go. But oh, well. SHANNON. Was a wash. She had THE storyline. So I thought. But that was really Emily. So it just felt like she was trying to throw anything storyline this episode at the screen to see what would stick. Oh, my daughter is going away to college. OOOhhh, where do my boyfriend and I stand? Oooooh, look at me and how I made it out of Co-Vid in one piece! Just...too much. So with nothing else, here she comes looking for a feud with somebody. Anybody. KELLY. Surprisingly came out of this season more decent than I expected her to. But she was just an idiot this episode. And Jolie sadly was screaming entitled. It was like they spent the whole episode poking fun at Co-Vid. SHUT...UP. And then she was pot stirring with Shannon. Just...no. GINA. Okay...she's wormed her way into my good graces. I admit it. She might have started the season being a wanna boss Bitca, but you know what? Once she stopped that and was just herself. She was so much enjoyable to me. And like @Cat said, she's been giving good commentary the last few episodes. EMILY. Thank God!!! I was not liking Emily the Bone Collector. Her Co-Vid storyline has brought back the Emily I liked. Quirky, but kind. And I'm here for that. And I liked that the whole experience has made her marriage stronger. ELIZABETH. Yay for the end of her divorce. Now she can get some. 😜 I liked everyone ribbing her about that. BRAUNWYN. Her man looks like he's need to be comforted. I'm free. That said...interesting that at some point the two of them stopped their private office. Very interesting. Since that was where they went to have sex. I agree with what the ladies have been saying. While Braunwyn is on her own path and standing in her truth, it is coming across selfish. After all, she has husband and kids. She can do that path and actually have them as a part. It is almost as if she is just wanting to run off, leaving them. And yes, that is very selfish...and like an addict. So...hmmm. She has lost all goodwill. Nice friends though. So...the parts looked good this episode. But as a whole...meh. Heheh. Same. It was all organic while I personally loved. Though to be fair...I loved her when she said that.

So given by my post and that other post, I guess he REALLY was a shaman then. Ha! Good.

Uh...

Aw hell no!!! The entitlement is real.

Yeah, he should not have made it in the building AT ALL with those horns. Sorry to hear your mother is upset, Vee. For what it's worth, *HUGSSS* for both of you.

Good.

My heart hurts.

Ha! You tell her, Counselor Troi!!!

I've always disliked that flag before outside of history, but now that flag is going to take on a WHOLE new meaning.

CBS confirmed the same on the National Guard. Yep.
