Taoboi

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.

RHOA OOPS!!!

And that's how you wear some boxers. Yum...

Well, I see people are already getting their 600s.

Not yet. I'm middle of Episode 8. Still busy with my December work schedule so hopefully some time between now and Sunday.

OMG yes enjoy. I am just now passing the first hour mark (it's two hours; listening around my work schedule) and it's been an hour well spent. Monique has been spilling a lot. Just a few things... SHADES OF NENE. Someone pulled a Nene on Monique a la Nene's last reunion...except instead of the wrong clothes to paint a narrative, they sent Monique to the wrong hotel. And if she had not called Karen for a kiki before the reunion the day before they filmed it, Monique would have never known. THE BINDER Monique used it more than we saw on the reunion. So much so that yes, Ms. Andy really, really wants it. She's debating it and if she does, she will be making copies of all the receipts within it. OH...SHE DID HAVE A MELTDOWN, DID SHE? So...the Samuels really truly did go scorched earth on Gizelle's ass. We...just didn't see ALL OF IT. Monique dragging Gizelle in Part 1? Went on longer than 5 minutes. Think 20 and she WENT ALL THE WAY IN to the point that Andy had to run interference. Or as I call such reads the Claudia Jordan Special. She got it all off her chest. So Gizelle's meltdown was during that whole 'why is that mfer here.' Why? It turned out that Chris had gone around apologizing to all the ladies after the LIVE he and Monique did because he felt so guilty for getting so heated and made the Bruce Jenner comment. He called Candiace's Chris and apologized. He called Juan and Robyn and apologized. He told them that he asked them to say he apologized to Gizelle. He even saw Charisse at a grocery store and apologized to her, too. And he brought all of this up AT THE REUNION. And when he mentioned it and Chris and Robyn verified it. Once he got to Gizelle, she lost it. And that brings us to his verbal takedown of her at the end. Well...there was MORE to that too. He GATHERED...HER...ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER. He said called her out on her potstirring, referencing how she tried to destroy Ashley's marriage, Karen's marriage, AND his marriage....THEN he said those epic words we heard on the reunion. No wonder she had that face. CANDIACE'S LIVE... ...is in the producers' hands. Monique sent it to them a loooooong while ago once fans of her sent it to her. Long before the reunion. THEY KNEW. MORE SHADES OF NENE Monique did film her whole journey post-fight. We just never saw it. And like Nene near the end of her last season, she was not at all paid for those absences on screen though she did film. That's just the tea off the top of my head. Oh really??? I knew that something had happened in passing. I had thought that originally Mary was just supporting, but someone saw something (the kookiness) in her so they filmed her more. I remembered there was a debate if they would make her a HW. She apparently filmed so much like one. but I never knew all this tea or that she never really became full time until muuuuuuch later. WOW. Perhaps they stopped filming her because the show was suppose to be about Jen. But they saw how much of a little scene stealer Mary is. Or perhaps given what is coming with Whitney, they felt Whitney needed someone in her corner who is not afraid of Jen. I've always said so far that the friend duo groups appear to be Meredith/Lisa, Jen/Heather, Whitney/Mary so if Jen tries to go after Whitney (and Heather lets her which I doubt), that Whitney will need someone who has her back. Mary so far has proven to do that. And Whitney her.

POTOMAC Wow. I'm still listening to this interview from Monique. And it's just so shocking the tea she is spilling from the last part of the reunion. Gizelle was run all the way down. I wouldn't mind those hidden scenes.

Well, I look forward to your opinions on it since I loathed how last season went down. That said...I loved Asian Kenya, Ashley Abbot's (though she didn't sound all right then), and Kameron. I'll give credit where it's due...I loved Stephanie's, too. Meh on Brandi's. And Kary is a non factor for me. Speaking of taglines, I bet the UK Jersey girls might surprise. It has the air of the other foreign franchises and what the ones here used to do...glamour. RHOD I almost forgot...the 1st episode is going to air as a preview episode THIS Thursday though the premiere is STILL January 5. ETA:

Yep. She did an interview with AATT confirming that and spilling tea. That said... Well...we have other shows to discuss...

The tea that is being spilled in this AATT interview. THEY...KNEW.

You know @NothinButAttitude, UK Jersey has pretty good taglines. And look! Seven Housewives. Well...now that I'm off work, honestly, Monique's leaving is actually hitting me more deeply than I was expecting. I've been feeling introspective today. Holiday blues. New Years blues. Whatever you call it...I'm sad to see her go even if I understand why. So thank you @Gray Bunny for the fun shade in your BEST and WORST list and @DaytimeFan for your list as well. I'm so going to have to fortake in the fun later after a bit of rest...long work day. But since I could use a change of subject as well as an attempt to focus before I work on one of my blogs.... SLC So since for some reason my ON DEMAND seem to be missing the last few episodes, well I watched the latest episode by other means. hehe. I thought it was a slow burn episode. Not much happened, but you got to know people better. Okay, stuff happened, but it was at the end. And given that clip I posted from 3 episodes away from now, that last scene is clearly going to snow ball. But let's roll it back... MEREDITH. Speaking of 'fetch,' Brooks is 'fetch' for me. And honestly, Bravo needs to quit. I have enough of that in my daily life and I don't need entitled spoiled brats who defer a semester in school to be on reality tv to strengthen their brand on my screen...especially when they don't have much of a brand to begin with. I mean...two tracksuits? Really? And I'm being kind by saying TWO? That's almost like a slap in the face to all the people who try to break into fashion on PROJECT RUNWAY with more talent than the Influencer has. Or like Kyle putting her name on that fashion line over on BH. Yeeeeeeah NO. The real drama was in Meredith/Seth trying to keep their separation low-key and how it affects everyone around them. Sadly, I don't find the Influencer's feelings over his dad not being there genuine which it could be if he was not just trying to be extra or find a moment. I wish Meredith had told him or suggested that maybe Seth was not there since he was giving Meredith her space. Meanwhile, I liked her lunch with Jen and Heather and they were trying to be friends...or so I thought... JEN. *KandiBuress*BITCH*KandiBuress* For someone who was making it seem like Meredith is her best friend when it's really Heather, how dare you do that last scene? Jen has already damaged her own brand by being that friend who runs around telling off on her other friends' secrets. Now she dropped a bomb on poor Whitney...and that bomb was Meredith probably stepping out too often with a mystery man. Was this before the separation? While it's happening? Why give it air when you know people will gossip? And does Seth even know? That was all messy and Whitney didn't want to hear that. Clearly this will lead to that forthcoming scene when she gets into it with Whitney and goes off on a producer? And Whitney and Heather are quite close so that just means you will lost your last friend if you do? Mary is unbothered by you. Lisa will be fabulous ice and have Meredith (since she is the ACTUAL best friend)'s back. Whitney does not seem like she will cower to you. She is dangerously close to being an island. Ironically, this episode shed some light on how she is the way she is. And it appears that it ties into the father. And so much was her grief that it caused problems with her husband. So no wonder he stays away a lot. Not a good look. WHITNEY. When she is not busy with dealing with Jen drama or being a good cousin with Heather (and I love seeing their scenes together), she was dealing with her father...who wants to leave the rehab a 2 and a half months early. Since she said this happened to him all the time...le sigh. Yeah, I could see how much she tried to hold it together...hoping this time would be the time he gets it together and not rush through it. Again...showing the real. HEATHER. Speaking of real...I find her internal struggle compelling. Perhaps it's the duality for me as a gay black man and sometimes having to walk in your truth...of course, trying to figure out what you want your truth to be. And I don't have kids so I can only imagine how it is with your beliefs and trying to find yourself in them after a bad patch AND relating that to your kids because you want nothing but the best for them. But can you give them the best when you feel broken? I think she can. And she deserves it. Now...I need her to feel that. She is definitely confident enough and seems like a great mom. MARY. Maybe it's because I watched it over a few days time and I've been busy, but she was in it very little and I don't remember her doing anything. LISA. Why do I feel like there is some trouble coming since she is almost always business? She reminds me of one of my bosses who is a little too OCD at work. Kinda understandable giving Co-Vid here, but still gotta make time for your family. Though it is clear she loves her child. Good low-key episode before the craziness starts anew. Awww Well, Monique has given quite a lot of interviews today so I hope to hear more about them as I listen to them over the next day or so. It is still a busy work week for me, but it appears to be trying to go back to normal. But that really stood out for me and Andy Cokehead did not give it much time at all. But it seem so clear that she was definitely coming from a different place than she was in a year ago at Karen's when they all wanted her to be remorseful. Not a bit fake. And trying to articulate it all. Given our discussions over temperments it felt good that she came to some kind of peace within herself. It would have been nice to see what she did with it going forward. But yes, I am happy for her and her FOUR homes. Meanwhile, Giz can stay pressed. RHOD To add on to the fun before I get to writing...first impressions of Dr. Moon...?
