DALLAS I know it's not real, but I wouldn't mind either. And of course you gotta have FRIENDS...

Hahaha!!! I knew that SUGAR song would be over here. Wow. This list/thread looks like fun and I'm always looking for new music.

NJ Now why is it that Dallas go on a vacation and I feel meh, but Jersey is also on a trip and I'm ALL FOR IT!!! I hate to admit that I wanta party with them. lol. I thought it was an easy breezy episode with some fun moments (Jennifer and Melissa getting along, Jennifer and Melissa playing matchmaker with the 27YO who was FOINE and Teresa, flashback to Teresa and Dolores running off) to some good moments (Jennifer following Dolores's advice from last episode and being straight with Melissa). And if there was anything, anything Jackie popped up or came up in conversation, the fun STOPPED. Thankfully, it was like stumbling over a block. You do it. Then you KEEP WALKING. I am so excited for next week. I think some of you know that Michelle was supposed to be a new housewife if I am not mistaken. And she is giving Joey and Melissa story for sure. And next week from preview clips looks like a MESS. Other than the Evan Cheating, it is the other running main storyline (and Teresa post-Joe) and this Michelle really was working for that spot. Not since the reunion have I've seen Melissa so triggered. TERESA. I'm not at all bothered by her at the moment. At least she is having fun. At least she got the ball rolling with being messy. And since she did not start said Evan rumor...which is starting to feel least like a rumor given the clues already presented...I can't fault her like she did. I think it was funny that while she is keeping the fun going, Teresa was also keeping that feud somewhat alive. Not that Melissa and Marge helped. Thankfully, she was more focused on flirting...and her pool boy (who will be at the party filming next week with the guys) is FOINE!!! MARGE. Side-eye. I like that everyone seem to think it was just Marge gossiping. But has anyone thought that perhaps Teresa got the rumor from someone who was at Marge? Or that basically it came from Marge in the first place, but she never thought it would turn around and be said to her by Teresa? That pot stirring. And her case isn't helped at all by her man repeating that either? But I've been side-eying her for a while. So...we'll see. JENNIFER. STAY bringing that humor, hunni. It was so needed. And I loved that she did not get dramatic at all and took Dolores's advice. She sat Melissa down. She explained delicately how she was feeling about them getting along. And then, she gave her the heads-up, making sure to come across that she was not trying to be messy, but being a friend. That's good. However, I just hope she does not stop keeping that heel to Melissa's neck. Keep her honest. MELISSA. Well, look at her!!! Working for her Bravo check this year!!! From feud/frenemy drama with Jennifer. Not having Tre's back. Now this drama with up and coming Michelle. Well...I guess it's better than doing nothing. And it's good to see NO ONE has her back BTS...or not enough to be sure someone is not coming for her. So JACKIE. Where there is smoke, there is fire. And for someone who does not want to talk about a rumor and want to do a do-over birthday party...why are you STILL talking about the rumor. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Or has nothing going on in her own life to deflect it away. Your thirst just might be showing. DOLORES. Her and David continue to have a weird (but real) relationship. Other than that, she was just being a good friend. BONUS...Joey defending his sister. Good for him. A certain sister-in-law could take lessons. Good episode and the season is pacing nicely with a great mix of things. And it does not at all feel repetitive. Yet. I'm soooo ready for the mess. SUR has recently reopened...allowing people to already start to wonder when VPR filming will resume. So LVP might still get that paycheck before the year is out. Meanwhile PUMP is not however going to be due to tax problems, but I am sure LVP will handle that. I just hope it happens swiftly.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...they can stay pressed.

DALLAS That's a meh for me. I actually dozed off in the middle of Mama Dee's scene *gasps* Forgive me, Mama Dee!!! It's been a busy work week and constant drama (and apparently some more coming gggrrrr) with my TV system. So as I play catchup on these GH wedding episodes just in case my system goes out again, I figured I would finally write. Which brings us back to the meh... I found myself side-eyeing this episode from go due to the unscheduled skip week. Shades of BH given Brandi's news between episodes. And then Bravo's response to Brandi's news. So the episodes going forward are going to get side-eyes for shifts like the BH episodes once they came back from their 'break.' I saw a few things, but I will wait until next week to see if anything gets confirmed. Sadly though, the break also killed the momentum. Something I felt DALLAS has had so far barring the last episode. I did hope that coming back from the break that maybe it would get back. But...not quite yet. It was just uneven. And for me, that was really because I like some of the ladies and I dislike some of the ladies. And the episode was even out between that. Sadly. During the break, a picture surfaced from an old reality Texas show. And guess who was in it? MAMA DEE and she was sitting right next to TIFFANY MOON!!!!! It warmed my heart because what LeeAndra has been saying about Tiffany IS TRUE. Mama Dee really does see Tiffany as a second daughter and that picture made it so clear. In the world of reality tv, people can too easily say something like ie. Candiace/Wendy on RHOP as best friends when they really met before filming not years ago. So all scene with Tiffany and LeeAndra or them with Mama Dee ring even more true and that was nice to have that confirmed. BRANDI. I know shocking with her first. But I'm sorry, I'm not buying anything. I zoned out or ignored her outright throughout most of the episode. Like I said before, she has taken pages out of RHOP Candiace's playbook and it's soooo transparent to me. So everything from her talk with her husband to the letter to anything coming out of her mouth or attempts to shed that one tear (c) Mariah Huq rang hollow to me. When your BFF is side-eying you in a conversation...yeah you are probably wrong. Whatever, ho. STEPHANIE. Speaking of side eye, look at her calling out her BFF in TH. Now let's see if she keeps that energy. Meanwhile, it was nice to see her talking to Kary's daughter for her. KARY. Lint. KAMERON. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! GURRRRRRRRRRRRRL, THE SWIMSUIT!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID SHE KNOW??? She was easily comic relief this time around. TIFFANY. I enjoyed everything with her. Especially her with the robot. lol. God, there was so much. It's interesting what she said in light of the recent Harry/Meghan stuff. She cannot change her race...if Brandi is uncomfortable and it is because of THAT, Brandi really really needs to go and look deep within herself and change. If she wants. Meanwhile, Tiffany is a doctor with a great family and those scenes were cute. And she has a great second family in LeeAndra and Mama Dee. And loved Mama Dee speaking true tea by saying those ladies are J-E-A-L-O-U-S. She has everything and the self-confidence they wished they had. She should stay winning. And I stay loving her friendship with LeeAndra. LEEANDRA. I also loved the tea that Stephanie spilled about LeeAndra's shaman. I stay loving Mama Dee with LeeAndra, but it is very interesting how much and how fast LeeAndra goes through money to the point that Mama Dee had to step in. Another layer to the LeeAndra/TheBrother/TheWill storyline. Perhaps she really did run through that money. I also loved Mama Dee call the ladies out...and it looks like she's doing that next week as well. Meanwhile, LeeAndra had Tiffany's back throughout and I loved that and getting the girls to see why Tiffany might have left early. So...fingers crossed the momentum is back next week.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Well they keep being extremely coy when it comes to Bershan. I say keep manifesting. I would die if they BOTH get apples. ETA: @Faulkner yeah...early reports reported that Eboni and Ramona surprisingly got along. Not sure if it has lasted though.

Well, I do like what I remember of his OLTL run. And I don't remember his first Y&R run being too bad. But I think I was one of the few. Prehaps it was because MAB was out. And I was got the impression in his first run that he seem to care. But I loved Lauren having a story (and Carmine was hot). And I loved there was a teen scene. And it appeared they were using vets. But it's been years since I've seen it. And yeeeeah NO. I regularly watched during DAYS' 50th anniversary. So much potential. But I was OUT when Ciara got raped in the Horton house of all places. I was like...when did he get this...morbid? And his second Y&R has some moments...I've behind, but nothing to write home about. And don't get me started on the fact that some of it is recycled from his 2013 run...erasing all the good things (like characters like Kevin/Chloe gone) that happened since he was there last. And speaking of recycling...as said earlier...I don't like that when writers move to a different show that they recycle some of their plots. Or I guess I should say plots that they are known for writing (RC and his obsession with DID comes to mind). Now, writers moving to other shows and using a character as a trope that they are used to using I can understand. Just put a fresh spin on it. Or even better...try to be different while matching the tone of the show they are writing for.

Well, binging Season 1. And I have to say...that was a pretty good pilot. And that last fight scene was really, really, good. I am also loving the mystery of Alice so far. But as a reader of ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, it has been interesting hearing quotes I have not really heard since I was a kid. Just chills.

RHOA Well...apparently I need to find time after I go through the two tabs in Monique's binder to see Kandi's latest SPEAK ON IT where Kenya spilled A LOOOOOOOOT of tea that apparently explained a lot of why some of the drama has been going on that makes no sense since production CUT the scenes that would explain some things going on. Right now as is...well...intrigued here. I think it is clear that Production probably leaked Strippergate. Since the season was dry before allegedly. But if I had to throw it out there, who is to say that Cynthia did not do it? At the time, Cynthia wanted her wedding filmed. And she was been extra thirsty to get attention. Is it far-fetched to think she would leak it. After all, this was the woman that was secretly behind (and she admitted she was behind) the Cookie Lady drama last season. However I agree with @Cheap21. I saw it a little while back, yes on Drew. She is being as messy as her husband. When did Latoya stop being the tryhard and Drew snatched her crown? She was doing a lot to start drama with Kenya. And it seem so obvious. Like her husband. On one hand, I get it. Who has not used Kenya to get storyline? On the other hand, she better be on ready...cuz Kenya will get that a$$ at the reunion...which appears to be getting filmed soon. That said...I cannot say that I didn't love that Drew vs Kenya scene at the restaurant. I hollered and rewinded and hollered some more. I thought this episode was the right amount of fun, drama, humor (I was DEAD at Porsha in Narnia), and I didn't hate any of the solo scenes....other than Amber and Jim...I mean Drew and Ralph. KENYA. Gotta come for that queen. That said...for all her drama, it was nice to see things humanizing Kenya. From her father to the therapy session to her trying to be a friend to Cynthia about the wedding, it has been needed given she has been a bitca on wheels for the last few episodes. And drama was needed and she must have felt good having Tanya run for the mountains in Canada (Girl, bye!!! Even Shamea shaded you on the way out!), but all evil, all the time. No bueno. What I also found interesting was that she really was not paying Porsha any mind...unlike Drew. If anything I felt she was just playing with Drew. For now. CYNTHIA. hAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You would think she would have followed the signs that maybe she should not have the wedding. I'm still curious how they are going to do this. Will it be like how they did LuAnn's wedding to Tom with a before and after? I do love that she has calm the frak down since the start of the season. This felt more like how I would expect Cynthia to be versus how out of character and thirsty she was at the start. I also loved Production picking on her. KANDI. Nothing really. She was just being Greek Chorus this time around. I did see a clip from the SPEAK ON IT where she was reminding me of Candiace when she was making sounds when Wendy was trying to drag La Dame. She had more presence there. PORSHA. I loved that she was bringing so much humor being lost (Two outlet malls and Oz and Narnia...HAHAHAHA) and her holy ghost moment with Drew and Shamea at the clothing store was hilarious. But sorry, I do feel that Porsha being mad at Kenya is darkening her a little bit. She spent waaaay more time talking about Kenya versus Kenya talking about her for example. I want her to keep taking the high road. But she came across extremely pressed. Kinda like... DREW. ...THE MOST PRESSED OF ALL. Kenya was right. They sat there for minutes upon minutes upon minutes and Drew kept bringing their talk at the dinner back to what they were arguing about. It was either squat or it was not. And clearly, it was not. After some time, it was just clear Drew was looking for a moment. And it was a funny moment. But She need to be using that energy on her husband vanishing when he felt like for days on end. Then she was there fanning them flames between Porsha and Kenya AND Porsha and Marlo. I am looking forward to Latoya coming for her in the next few episodes. If she is trying to stay relevant, Drew could start with upping her wig game. Cuz that first wig...not the mention the last one...NO. LATOYA. Meanwhile, this episode, Latoya STEPPED UP her wig game. And she was giving look after look after look. Her with jet-black straight hair was great. The TH was good. And there was another look she had I believe. Her now versus at the start of the season was night and day. Drew, take note. SHAMEA. That shade at Tanya was LOVE. MARLO. I know we are not coming for Marlo? Uh...no. I liked the episode. The momentum has definitely picked up. And it looks like this will continue.

While I have yet to sit down and watch it yet...but have enjoyed today's commentary here travelling between jobs...I figured that given some of today's talk I should add this...early thanks for the links above...

My system was down. Anyone watch the premiere?

LOL!!! My bad. The BTS has to do with SLIDERS.

I never got around to watching it to be honest. Iol. I was interested, but never found the time.

I was just thinking of COVEN last week. lol. Great minds. THE WEEK FOR ME... BATWOMAN SEASON 1 WESTWORLD SEASON 2 MERLIN SEASON 5...if my system gets fixed. WASTELAND (only one season and I never got to see it from Kevin Williamson of SCREAM/DAWSON'S CREEK)

Close. Miranda's 'fake an O' boyfriend. As much as I loathe him now, I have to give him credit where it's due. It was pretty consistent. From MY SECRET IDENTITY which was popular to SLIDERS (my uber sci fi show) which has not aged well, but has stood the test of time given how many shoutouts it gets at the randomist of places while he was on for 4 years until BTS drama to CROSSING JORDAN. And let's not forget being Neve Campbell's bf in SCREAM 2. That is a good run. But...no matter how much he cuddles up to Andy Cohen...'fetch' STILL ain't happening with him.

Yep. She should have sat there and ate her food like the rest of us that have workable tvs.

He became disliked when he dissed his episode of SATC for me. Not to mention changing his face.

I didn't want to believe it about Heather because she seem so genuine. And I trust a lot of what people say here, but it was not matching up to me. That is until Part 2. When she mentioned about her doing research...it just click together like a scene from a mystery when a person realizes who the killer is. How she was acting. How she had been acting which I took as her defending herself. But in hindsight, she was coming for Lisa and Jen. And it makes a lot more sense. So I am curiously if she is going to be the 'Kyle' of this group come Season 2. I agree as well. I feel like the reunion was really Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3 might as well just be a prologue of what is to come in Season 2. Because the whole dynamic has now changed. I think if the videos had not leaked, Jen might have made it out of the reunion on better standing going into Season 2 because she tried to make amends and was giving off the vibe she would try to change. Those videos though...just make her look crazy and show off a history of her being crazy (and Coach Shah enabling?). Not a good look at all. As for Bethanny...SPEAK ON IT, CHRISELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. Good to hear you got it since Texas is about to get more cray cray.

SLC So after much fighting with my tv system and being busy, and I finally got to see Part 3 of the reunion. I felt the Part 1 and Part 2 were definitely more forward moving. This one was just there. Perhaps just setting up the new dynamic for Season 2. Heather vs Jen was the main point. I guess we all knew it was coming. Heather did emerge as the fan favorite. Meanwhile, Jen fell from favor...not helped by all those recent leaked videos when she has lost it. Clearly, there is more to the story with her. And I hate to say it since for some people it does take time to mourn a parent...but perhaps it is not ALL about the parent. Meanwhile...this was a BAD look for Heather. I said during Part 2 that Heather revealed that just like Jen, Heather was studying the fan base pre-premiere. And birds of a feather. She was just subtle about it versus Jen trying to be roughshed. However, here she was coming across very shady. Meanwhile, Jen...took some accountability. Pre-video...I would have said she was on a good road to get some of the fans back. Now...oooo...Season 2 seems like it will be a doozy for BOTH of them. JEN. Not everything is about race. Well, okay it is in a lot of cases. However THIS was not one of them for me. Right message, WRONG time for me. I felt she was trying to weaponize race to deflect from her bad behavior. And I've mentioned this waaaaay too many times during DALLAS to say the difference now. Bad look on Jen. So at least, I liked that she took some accountability. Her apologies sounded sincere...especially to Meredith. But her actions have to match her words. We'll see. MEREDITH. I agree with her on Jen. So if she is back next season, it will be interesting to see where this goes since she has been and acts very adamant that she is over her friendship with Jen. Meanwhile, I was happy to see her and Seth as an united front. But it seems like the problem they had (the distance) is still there. And I found that worrying. LISA. Fabulous Ice managed to get her personality back from Jen. lol. She was pretty low key in this part after stirring it up in the first two. She took the high road this part as Heather kept coming from her. She came out so well at the end. And she has so much potential now. She has the ongoing feud with Heather, her friendship with Jen, the aftermath of both on her friendship with Meredith...so good for her for making her relevant. HEATHER. I started to side-eye her in Part 2. Now? I honestly wonder...was it all a lie? She was taking all kinds of digs at Lisa. And perhaps it was deserved at some times, but most of it was not at all. She was putting herself in situations that had nothing to do with her. And then she would be no naughty. Where was the chill girl I used to know? Of course, it truly might have been she was bugged by the friendship growing between Jen and Lisa, which we already knew she was insecure about. Or...the fame has gone to her head. Season 2 will let us know what is up though. Can she avoid the second season curse? WHITNEY. I was sorry about her dad. This has happened before. So it must have hit harder this time. Other than that, she did not do much this time around for me. MARY. Is LOVE. All of her reactions throughout have been feel real. She is truly an enigma. And I liked her husband had her back. But all the husbands had their ladies back which was refreshing. And awwww...are Jen and Mary bonding just a little? Who knew? Good episode, but not as good as 1 and 2. Bring on Season 2.

Damn!!!

BH Garcelle was on WWHL tonight. And some S11 tea... Given how last season ended...Garcelle vs Kyle, Garcelle vs Ex Soap Star...she wanted to deal with the tension early on. And SHE DID. She has a talk with Kyle. She has a talk with Ex Soap Star. Sutton asked about Erika's divorce the most. Garcelle found Dorit the most annoying. She still talks to Denise. YES, they come for her. Supposingly Erika is going to 'go there' in terms of being more transparent.

I've been side eyeing Marge since it came out she had some favoritism from a producer. So hearing that from Joe just made me go hmmmmmmmmmm

NJ Three for three!!! Now THAT was more of what I was expecting during this past week's Dallas trip. Not that it did not have its fun moments. But I felt bored. Here...not so much. Maybe it's because I don't like most of Dallas's cast versus New Jersey's cast which whether I have a dislike for them (which if I think about it I would have issues with Melissa and Marge) or not, all the ladies bring some fun. And they were able to do so. Drinking. Boat rides. Prank calls. Sounds in the night. It was all in fun. Here it was just disappointing that Melissa and Marge kept bringing up Jackie vs Tre. NOBODY CARES!!!! LOL!!! The fun stopped every time they did that. And here's the thing. It was more interesting as an episode because it was not brought up. The Dallas trip felt like the opposite to me, bringing up some drama was the only thing making it interesting. The girls are too much oil and water. The Jersey girls got so much more spark to them. I'm still giggling at Melissa and Tre's prank call to her brother and him speaking Italian when he's upset. Cute. And if there had to be any drama, I'm more intrigued by Melissa vs Jennifer. All that tea that Jennifer spilled having to do with the latest edited-out HW (because wasn't the rumor that Michelle Pais was going to be added to the cast at one point)...some of which was true in RL...was the kinda of messy needed. Especially since Jennifer was working on making amends with Melissa. Well, having a truce at last. My favorite scene was Dolores giving Jennifer pretty great advice on how to handle it with Melissa. Sad that it seems that takes a turn next week. TERESA. I see that someone got a receipt of Teresa KNOWING what an analogy is. However in the moment Jackie did not clarify so no dice for me. Sorry. If Jackie had tried or worded it right maybe. But since she's a lawyer, I feel she worded it the way she wanted to to do damage. So cannot be mad that Teresa is on the outs with her. So Teresa just wants to have fun. Not a problem with me this week. And she is not asking for much...apologize to my daughter. MELISSA. Love the prank on Joey. Don't like how she has Jackie's back when she knows that Teresa won't back down from that. MARGE. Oooooo at what her man spilled about the fact that the Evan rumor appears to has orignated from her house. So it is not hard to ponder if the Evan cheating rumor came from...her? Meanwhile, Marge suuuure is acting like RHOA Porsha last season when she was shading Kenya in her THs when Kenya was not UNTIL she saw she was since Kenya felt they were friends again? Hmmm...is Marge finally making her move? DOLORES. Love her advice to Jennifer. Like she was offended at Teresa thinking she did not have her back. Laughed at her and Tre running into the house first at the end. I've been enjoying Dolores a lot so far this season. JENNIFER. Messy. Love it. No lie. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! If I'm alone, so be it. JACKIE. Weak ho. Honorable mention....the househusbands. They were a hoot. And the tea spilled. lol. Good episode.
