Taoboi

And...I'm negative. Thank goodness. @DramatistDreamer *HUGS* My condolences for your loss. THIS.

While I would not wish harm on him either...once people knew who was really behind it...he should have saw that coming. At least people know who to blame for a change. But...yeah...karma.

RHOD Oh...the entitlement. Problematic much?

I've always liked it, but this is great news.

Well...La Dame will need allies. And hopefully someone who wants to finish what Monique started with Gizelle if Gizelle even THINKS of looking at them side-ways.

WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RHOD Well, that was a fun sneak peek. Given how toxic Season 4 was, Season 5 needed to be a soft reboot. And I'll give them this much...they really pulled it off so far. Maybe even to a fault. There is still a slight cloud of LeeAnne in there. And I feel given the reference for it, production should have tried a different approach. Heck, there were moments where I thought LeeAnne was still there and then I realized it was D'ANDRA. lol. That said...so far, so good. I dislike most of the cast, but that was not a bad episode. And they got to the meat of the episode quickly enough. KAMERON. Was a hoot. She gave all kinds of comic relieft this epsiode. Her and the dog autopsy. Her and the new dog. Her and the trainer (and Court's side-eye through that whole scene was hilarious). Her and the yard sale. And we meet Jen through her since they are solid friends. PS. Court is looking really hot with that shaggy hair. D'ANDRA. I've shocked that given how much I disliked her last season due to her and LeeAnne's fallout and how she was obsessed with being a Queen Bee, that I did not dislike her. LeeAndra indeed ( c )Cat. She looks so much like her that it's scary AF. And with her back MAMA DEE IS BACK!!! Now Mama Dee I didn't mind at all and got a hoot out of them playing dress-up at the start of the episode. And loved how she was trying (side-eye) to not be jealous of Mama Dee taking Tiffany on like a daughter. Mama Dee did the same with LeeAnne and look how that turned out. But so far, the bond between D'Andra and Tiffany feel and looks real. But I also feel like she knew Tiffany well enough to know she would have a problem with Brandi and the video and tried to butter her up. No good. STEPHANIE. I see someone has her Season 2 Mean Girl Face. And then want to verbally slap down anyone for having Co-Vid concerns...ironic since LeeAndra just got it. Girl...NEXT!!! KARY. Girl, stop. One person was not meaning a race, but you as a person. The other person WAS meaning a race. One apologized for her ignorance. One was defiantly ignorant and STILL has not issued an apology before this very episode. But I guess I should not say much since you are not only going to be using someone from last season for a story, but using HER story as well. OooOOOOooh how the tables have turned. There are people (Dr. Wendy from RHOP comes to mind) who viewers feel they would have a good second season after a bad first one. YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM. But I also hear that some karma is coming so I'll be around for it with your own playbook (in order to be Queen Bee, you have to take down the reigning one). TIFFANY. YAY FOR ASIAN KENYA!!! So far...love her. She is a breath of fresh air. Adult, but can loosen up. Serious, but does not take herself completely seriously. Great family life. She is everything we were hoping Dr. Wendy could be. She even can deal with serious issues (so far) without being anyone over the head with it or four degrees. So I loved that she did not take to LeeAndra, StepWitch, or anyone else trying to butter her up to like Brandi. If she likes Brandi, it will be because she has interacted with her and see that she's good...or the trash she is. We'll see. The episode ended on their talking. And I loved how she articulated herself so it did not seem to Brandi like she was attacking her, but at the same time no bs nor was she falling for Brandi's crocodile tears. BRANDI. Look here, White Candiace...I don't know why they kept your trashy ass, but I did want to see if you would at least try to redeem yourself. And...honestly...I don't feel it. She was sitting talking to StepWitch. She was being babied by NotCary (who I hope Tiffany gets all the way together with that little comment she made). And then you pulled crocodile tears on her when you knew your castmates were going to make the two of you talk. It does not seem genuine to me. What would have been genuine? Issuing an actual apology NOT ON AIR...BITCA!!! Then when the season started, you could have reference it as a reference point and actually tried to work for your money by SHOWING, NOT TELLING that you are sorry for this video. You already doubled down, could take the heat and ran to a spa, then you went on a tour and did worse so no. My heel will be on your neck now that you're back ALL SEASON LONG. Why? Cuz you're fake and phoney, BITCA. Now...let's see next week if you seem really sorry or just more fakery to get that redemptive arc that producers are clearly giving to you and not the actual star of the show. JEN. So far...she's very tall. But seriously, she seems all right. Just...shockingly plain given she is going to be messy at some point. But so far, so good. Good episode.

Well, damn. I am sorry to hear that. Wow. Stay strong. Thank you for the well wishes. I am just happy to see I am not stressing about it like I would have been six months ago, but I am worried a bit.

Hehehe. Oh, she's performing tonight on NBC NYE event, too.

Finally have time. And time means... ***THE BEST AND WORST OF 2020*** BEST SHOW: The Real Housewives of Potomac A sign of a great show is when fans react badly when the airdate is pushed back. Moreso when rumors began to emerge the previous year of a fight caught on film. And as it turned out...it was worth the wait. After a year of waiting, the ladies of Potomac returned with a season of fun, excitement, a bird, and yes, the aforementioned fight. It was a fight that split the group apart. And through it all, no episode (maybe one) was not wasted as we not only got to see the fight from every angle, but several subplots (La Dame's marriage, the engagement of Robyn and Juan, Ashley's man's latest drama) that used the ensemble in other ways. Not one person was a waste to the dynamic. And it all climaxed into an unforgettable set of reunion episodes that drove viewers' opinion right down the middle. With the leaving of Monique who was at the center of it all, and the unmasking of Gizelle as the villain of the story, it will be interesting to see where the ladies go from here when it's time for Season 6. And the world WILL be watching. MOST IMPROVED SHOW: The Real Housewives of New York New York has always been the show that was wild, crazy, fun, and full of boozes. However, it was usually tempered with storylines and events that kept it all moving...just like the friendships of the ladies on it. However, this past year that balance was lost at the start. Bethanny flew the coop. Tinsley appeared mildly isolated due to some unknown reason by Dorinda. LuAnn was on top of the world, but not drinking. And Leah was new and still needed time to jell with the other ladies. As a result, the start of the season fell all the way into boozy territory...and it eventually fell flat. HOWEVER...it turned a corner...without losing its wild crazy fun. Tinsley's leaving (and coming back for the reunion confident and fierce) allowed for the ladies to get to know Leah...and also realize that Dorinda had a problem. It also allowed for a brief feud between Ramona and her friend Elyse. Eventually, the truth was revealed...a hidden scene that revealed why Dorinda hated Tinsley and an intervention long overdue for Dorinda. And though all the seriousness, there was friendships, men, and no grudges. And next season looks to be interesting when diversity appears in the city that never sleeps. WORST SHOW: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills When the Queen leaves...who gets the crown? The answer is ??? And what started as a season that was looking like the overdue takedown of wannabe Queen Bee Kyle instead turned into something else. Denise Richards came into the show and quickly became a fan favorite. So it was easy for Kyle and Rinna to set her up for a fall. Enter her 'friend' old cast member Brandi and a rumor that may it seem like Denise was lying. What followed was episode after episode after episode of lies, yelling, and attacks. The very definition of bullying. In the end, Denise left. And the show jumped the shark, making people wonder if it would ever get a glamour vibe ever again. Which brings us to... BEST ADDITION: Sutton and Garcelle, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 'I thought you were kinda boring.' From the moment that Friend Sutton Stracke said that to some blond housewife with that Southern accent, the viewers knew they had a breath of fresh air. Sutton came into the show with one liners ('let the mouse go'), couture fashion, and WEALTH, something that has been sorely lacking since the exit of LVP. Then enter the scene resemblance of GOSSIP GIRL was Garcelle Beauvais, the first black woman to be on this branch of the franchise. She was ballsy, straightforward, and the kind of housewife this show has been needing. That they have slowly become the dream team on this show (along with a redeemed Dorit) is delicious. FUNNIEST MOMENT: T'Challa attacking Dr. Wendy, Potomac What started off as a fun feud (La Dame vs Monique's new pet...a parrot) led to light moments (and hilarious subtitles). But none of them were as funny as new housewife Dr. Wendy was being uppity and as if he sensed dark energy, T'Challa attacked her. Her scream and the aftermath (the one time Candiace looked funny with a plastic night, bunched up with Gizelle and Karen) is worth a rewatch. BEST EXIT: Tinsley, New York She might have started as the 'baby' of the group, but over several seasons, Tinsley Mortimer grew into being a housewife. Her goal: to find Mr. Right. And while she had ups and downs, in the end that was exactly what she found, leaving to be with her man in Chicago and happily engaged. And thanks to her new friendship with newbie Leah and her harassment by Dorinda, this baby had no choice...but to grow up. And when she destroyed Dorinda at the reunion with her bombshell around the reason Dorinda hated her (namely jealousy), she became a woman right before viewers' eyes. A happy one at that. Like a fairy tale, she was gone and lived happily ever after. WORST STORY: Snakegate, Real Housewives of Atlanta Given producers' love of rolling back footage when people are lying, we the viewers should have known what this story would fail when no footage of Cynthia saying anything foul about Nene surfaced. Add on to that it was who the viewers thought it was (what was her name again? See? Non-factor.). That the truth was Nene created a story to hurt another houswewife she considered her best friend soured people on her. That she continued to shoot herself in the foot (fighting Kenya and losing, attacking a good ally in Kandi and getting dragged, growing jealous of the popularity of Porsha, turned on the hand that fed her Andy Cohen) and people were really for Nene to go ByeBye. And...she did. And while people are still talking about her here and there, NO ONE is talking about this lame duck of a storyline. BEST STORY: The Unmasking of Gizelle, Potomac 'I have FOUR homes.' From the very beginning, Gizelle hated newcomer Monique Samuels. She was younger, prettier, devoted husband, and MONEY as evident by this above quote. And so began Gizelle's attempts to bring Monique down. Monique gave as good as she got. But it was not until this year that it came to a boil due to the fight between Monique and Candiace. Gizelle used it as an excuse to ice Monique out of the group. Monique used it as a time to heal herself...and get reciepts...arriving at the reunion with a binder full of nothing but the truth. And when she used the binder to reveal that Gizelle's whole storyline was a lie, it was MUST SEE TV!!!. After years of Gizelle attacking just about every cast member's marriage seeing her get her comeuppance was beautiful. And quite a lot of her potstirring was exposed as well, releasing the evil bitter woman within. Hopefully someday the unedited parts of her takedown will leak. After all Gizelle once told Monique that if she was going to aim, she better not miss. I would like to see the FULL effects of the bullseye she hit Gizelle with. Masterful story from Season 2 on up. And they say soap rivalries are dead. lol.

Prefect day for it.

You are late, Young Man!!! GET ON THAT!!!

Okay...while I feel fine...and due to a lot of craziness this week with people around me and their masks or the full moon or something like they took a whole trolley away because someone had been on it and suspicions are they were infected, I decided to be better safe than sorry. I went and got tested.

Now someone correct me if I'm wrong...but in light of RHOP's recent season...wasn't there a fight coming up on SLC that involves a choking?

Good to hear. Keep us posted.

Well considering who has stock in Moderna... *sips*

Well to be fair...given this past week...I don't want to see Andy Cokehead's face AT ALL so I understand. And if I want to see Anderson Cooper's face (and bod) I can google.

Well, it does take a few for sure. But for the shady ones among us...and he is talking about a nurse... Cameron on Twitter: "Privileged enough to Get a vaccine on Monday, in puerto Vallarta by Wednesday. Hey @tylerspelane I just wanna let you know that you’re trash but based on your profile having gone private I’m sure you already know that https://t.co/MXPC1FhQcL" / Twitter AW HELL NO!!! Does that count as murder? @Ponds congrats!

Heheh. I figured.

RHOD I'm happy to say that some time yesterday I started to get excited I'll be off tonight to see this (and RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE). Excited. I think we all know I disliked last season and being triggered but I was at least curious. So excited is a step up. Bring on Asian Kenya!! @Cat I'm steal the name LeeAndra. SLC After some decent few last episodes, this episode felt so much like the calm before the storm. The nature of Seth and Meredith's separation is a ticking time bomb that is right out of a soap opera. And as we know about soap secrets, the more people that are in the know, the more ways that it can come out. And someone is going to have egg on their way. And someone will be very, very angry. Speaking of angry...we were discussing 'where's Mary?' at yesterday. And it seem that yes, when the production company started, she was a FOH. Post-production the new production company (RHoNY's company) saw how much they liked her and she went to HW. So they edited her in and did solo pickup scenes so we would see her for the second half. Makes sense. They are used to the NY girls who are their own kinda of fun. JEN. Jealous ass. Here she is in her confessionals taking about how fake she feels Meredith is for acting like her and Seth aren't separated when they are in the jacuzzi...it's called putting on a stoic face. If you weren't so emotional and overdramatic you might be able to see that. But NO, it has to be about you. Will next week be the week when Meredith finds out how much of a 'friend' she is? Stay tuned... I will say it was nice to get a little more about the relationship between her and her husband. Interesting indeed. HEATHER. Her on the jets was hilarious. Also great that her again showing how much of a friend she is. The fact that it is clear that she feels Jen is in the wrong for saying anything, but said NOTHING when it's also clear that Jen told her everything (the separation, Meredith with another man). We had not seen her mention the other man to Heather so the scene when Whitney was probing her to see how much she knows and she knows EVERYTHING was a juicy scene for me. And she's right. It's none of their business and they should leave it alone. Sad she is going to be in the middle next week when it's Whitney vs Jen. WHITNEY. So, so much more than she seems. And that has nothing to do with a blind item I saw last week. Her talk with her father (with her husband as backup) was intense. I hope he does not backslide, but her worry of that and how much she has to do tough love was rough. I shook my head given what she said last week...that he has done this before. And she was so hoping this time would be the time when he got his life together. Alas... Meanwhile, she is so going to be a target with her not liking that Jen is running around running her mouth about Meredith's other man and looks like she will be defending Mary next week. I guess we see what her tagline is REALLY about. MEREDITH. I know this is shallow, but I loved her Denise Richards's ponytail in the jacuzzi. She was looking flawlessly beautiful. But maybe that is the point. This episode it was like she was the Serena to Jen's Blair Waldorf. And we know Blair was mildly jealous because Serena was the beautiful one, the one who got everything, the one who no one saw any wrong. And that burned her. So it burns Jen. However, what she seems to be doing is figuring it out...and Jen should give her time to figure out her new normal. But...alas. LISA. It was nice to see more of her husband...all of the husbands in fact. Not sure if there is potential for conflict there. Sometimes her Type A personality seems to really annoy him. And it's clear he loves her. Time will tell. I also liked the talk about the very subculture within the Mormon religion. MARY. Was in it for a moment. Can't wait to see next week. After they came to a truce, Jen should have known not inviting her would lead to them feuding again. So...calm before the storm episode, but a good one.

Oh no. I hope all is well and it's not that at all.

I am so going to miss her.

Damn.

This is just crazy. And California is stay at home for another 3 weeks. Not surprising.
