Well I see Ex Soap Star has given a response to the affair rumors (and the tweet I was talking about is included) ETA: See? I remember it just appear to me that Nene was just on her hustle. She understood that there was a shelf life to these shows. So she took her stardom and was running with it. And goodness knows Wig and ShebySheree gave her proper motivation to be better off than they were. But her and Wig were always falling together and falling apart. That was what made those early seasons fun. But I might just be seeing it differently. Makes me want to see if my new system has Season 4 sitting around somewhere to rewatch the TALLS vs the SMALLS.

See? I suspected LuAnn counted, but I still have yet to watch the early seasons of NY to verify. LOL. I am so over that trick that I forgot that for me she counts. But I totally agree about Phase 2/3 which is why I didn't mention Karen who came to mind too. Well given the drama going on in real life with her and Edwin and that woman who is looking to take legal action AND Edwin arrested if it's true he was the one that leaked her phone number because she called Ms. Smug out on her fake business with reciepts...she might actually use her own brain (c)NeneLeakes and bow out out returning next season. Fingers crossed. I admit...for all of my disliking her the last few years, that video made me kinda sad. She had no one to blame, but herself, but she actually seem to care and we know Nene is not THAT great of an actress so I felt it. Season 4? Really? I always felt that she didn't start to be Bitter Nene until at least Season 6...for Sure Season 7. I felt she was still Fun Nene and checked in in Season 4. Her star grew in Season 5 when she had GLEE and THE NEW NORMAL going on. And then was the perfect time for her to go and she was STILL herself aka Fun Nene, but she was growing out of ATL. But when they got canceled and she had to come back was when the angry Nene we got now started. So you see the drama with some mystery woman coming for Ex Soap Star and Harry on Twitter, airing out that Harry been cheating on her for years with a friend of hers AND someone named Patricia?

And then...there were two?...(Teresa and Ramona) #OGS

Great minds...

THIS. Get over it, girl. You got used...and it WASN'T by Denise. BH Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. The highlight for me was the friendship between Sutton and Garcelle. Otherwise I could see why people on Twitter (who majority are Team Denise from what I can tell) called the episode of Gang Rape of Denise Richards. Which reminds me...another highlight? All those Bravo Twitter Podcasters on WWHL and ALL OF THEM WERE TEAM DENISE. Ole Andrew Cockhead was so pressed. And loved the one who called out Kyle for being behind the S6 on up. To me it was waaaay too familiar to the last part of the RHOA reunion which I ALSO found to be pointless. DENISE. I wished she had done better tbh. While she gave as good as she got, she was clearly over it. And at the same time, at least in the end, the viewers were seeing the REAL Denise. Here she was sitting him filming a reunion where people were coming for her...and she was unbothered, sitting there sipping drink, sitting there memorizing her lines for her next episode of B&B. Lying or not, she was being more how she has been all this season and last. And stood in her truth. I just wished she had let the claws out and not be knocked around like a punching bag. I did like She made Ex Soap Star back down from those texts. Clearly *LisaRinnavoice*She got something to hide*LisaRinnavoice* Denise called your bluff. And she better be very happy that Denise is a TRUE friend and true friends bury their friends' secrets even if they fall out. Truly a better person than Ex Soap Star. KYLE. I cannot believe how many times I told her to shut up when she was to sit there and talk about 'be honest.' How about you be honest about all these takedown schemes and the common thread for all of them: YOU. Wannabe Twink Andy is always saying how she does not make producer decisions and we know he's lying about his influence. So guess what viewers think of you as a producer? There is a reason why Camille called you out yesterday. Wannabe the queen, but can't hack it. Unlike Camille. And you will never be the Queen. Deal with it. ERIKA. Barely there and therefore irrelevant except to say liar, liar, pants on fire. You were bothered that Ex Soap Star was trying to steal your thunder. Garcelle had your back. At last, learn how to have hers. But given you are friends with Wannabe Queen...time for you to go. DORIT. Didn't really do much this part, but look gorgeous. But since she brings something to the show. She can stay. lol. I cannot believe how much she has redeemed her image. While I found her partying offseason with Kyle worrying, I hope going forward she continues to stand up for herself. GARCELLE. 'You want to go first, Denise, or should I?' was a hoot. I didn't like them trying to come for Garcelle over Erika. They were all mad Garcelle stays working (I just found out she was recurring on Season 2 of TELL ME A STORY and we here all know I loved her on THE MAGICIANS). And Garcelle has proven she was the type that would tell Erika personally AND privately that she can't come see her since she talked to her regularly on the phone/text it seem. And IF Garcelle is truly coming back, Someone Called Toddy better hope Garcelle doesn't decide to acknowledge her because she will not be able to handle it and Theodore let me tell you...you think Twitter is bad? It ain't got nothing on Black Twitter. KNOW THAT. I loved Garcelle's expressions throughout as the ladies (and Little Boy Andy) attacked Denise because a person with common sense knows and can see what's going on. I also loved how much Garcelle kept giving Tasha EX SOAP STAR. It takes a cold bitch (note I did not say bitca ) to not see how much they are hurting their friend. And Denise was a better friend than she was to her by not saying what skeletons were in YOUR skeleton. Be lucky. And then you tried it twice with Garcelle. Such a disgusting piece of tw#t. ANDY COCKBLOCK. Speaking of tw#t...karma is surely coming for him. I did not like he was egging Ex Soap Star on. He was being messy as if he didn't research Heather Locklear (the only time I agree with Lips myself when she said Google it). You are as transparent as your producer friend Kyle. I pray those blind items from years ago finally, truly, completely comes back and buries you. And when it does, irreelvancy is what you deserve. You are a host, not a housewife. ACT LIKE IT. DUSTRAG MELLONSHAM. Well, I see someone got on the Karma Express. If you are not leaving, I guess that means you can do what your best friend would want and 'be honest.' *smirks* Actually looking forward to the LOST SCENES episode as I've already mentioned because I would like to see what was left out and if my theory was right. That said...pathetic that producers did a 'Denise Runs' montage. Over this narrative and choose to exclude myself from it going forward. Well Andy Cockblock wasn't her friend anyway so...

All of THIS. I'm slowly binging the second half and it's clear that Ramona and Dorinda are the storyline. Leah...has her moments. Good moments, but she's kinda just there. IKR!!! And I expect it to go UP as the fight beings... Oooooooooooooooo

If they would only put that much energy into the homeless who want to be helped or dare I say it BLM...police reform...the election...

Well she wanted to be noticed soooo badly so...

Well she does elevate that stuff so...

Finally cruising into finishing MERLIN Season 4 and TELL ME A STORY Season 1. Great job on TMAS in how they are taking fairy tales and making them even more twisty. I was wondering how Hansel and Gretel part was going to tie into its original but looks like it is finally about to happen. And loving the acting...especially from Kim Cantrell.

That's assuming that Ex Soap Star wants to start anew. Which would be the SMART thing to do. That said...since I already said my thoughts (and hopes) Garcelle returning yesterday...it definitely bears repeating... That reminds me...Garcelle posted a tweet with the words 'plot twist.' At the time, I thought she might have done that in response to Denise's leaving. But I've since seen her in interviews and it 'appears' that she might be back next season. So was the plot twist, the fact she decided to come back rather than leave when Denise leaves. And if so...knowing what she knows...would she be crazy enough and smart enough (and I thought Denise has played her hand extremely well which is why the Coven and production are oh so pressed at being outmanuvered) to come back specifically to try to take them down? Things to make you go hmmm Hopefully, it's a long game. Or it's as @Cat mentioned...with Co-Vid out, Garcelle is just staying put. For now. I hope they stick together for sure. And add Sutton and ETA: YAAYYY POTOMAC RATINGS JUMP UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone getting ready for the fight.

Well, nothing like comparing inconvenience to injustice. RME. Idiot.

Well, I'm on the (already mentioned) school of thought that they knew she would sink herself like a lot of older Housewives before her and allowed her to 'hang' herself. And that's exactly what she did. Agree on the John tea. It was written all over Dorinda's face which is what made that scene oh so juicy. She couldn't even hide it. It was there. She could not deflect because Tinsley FINALLY stood up for herself and wasn't backing down. She was caught. Thankfully, I am happy that the producers of POTOMAC do not seem to have fallen into that yet. But the damage has already been done by the brand itself. Now one questions. And if I am questioning everything, then what is the point? At least the ladies of POTOMAC are real friends so that helps, but AGAIN so are the ladies of NY so I think you see where I am going with that. Exactly. Andy's bias. Which is why he should not be hosting. I double agree on the last few week's tea. And it would be one thing if it was minor scenes, but they have been scenes that had certain information for that season's storylines or some interesting tea. For example, there was another dropped BH scene from when Sutton had her event with Jennifer Tilly there and she gave some interesting information about acting and saw Season 1 Kyle out and about again and those mean girls being mean girls. And again, I have to mention the last season of RHOA where it was not a bad season, but it lost steam and felt unfinished...only for it to feel unfinished because some of the scenes that would have inform the season were in the LOST SCENES episode when it should have been shown in the season itself. It would have made the season more coherent. Same for the John scenes with Dorinda. I admit I am now getting curious if the Dorinda/Tinsley fight was filmed now. And is that why they cut this season's Leah/Dorinda fight at the Birkshires. Or even worse...they are going to show one (or both) of those fights at the reunion this week or next or in a...you guess it...LOST SCENE episode? Yeah...I think the girls...mostly are OTT enough that they don't even need to be edited a specific way. If it ain't broke (or is it?) Don't fix it.

After seeing Funky Dineva drag Candiace, this is just hilarious. Perfect day for laughter. So have you seen PART II? hehe

*Mouth ajar*

Karen always lets herself go when she's drinking. One of my favorite moments...and I still quote it...is 'BACK UP OFF MY HUSBAND' 'ROBYN...STFU.' moment from Season 3.

I don't know, Cat. She might have lasted I would believe if the custody hearing that was going on with Charlie Sheen was over. But...we will never know now. In any case...even though they are all different productions, there has been a LOT of peeking the behind the curtain with all the Housewives production this year so what can be real and what is not real is a question to be dissected for sure at this point. Just look at what's going down with Dorinda...not to mention the other members of the Coven...Sheana on VPR. Now exposed, what is Bravo going to do with this because it was like I say and DaytimeFan...this is Frons's grip on the ABC soaps all over again...and that KILLS. POTOMAC I am soooooooooo surprised no one has looked at the sneak peek for next week re: Ashley. Her saving face or her revealing what ALL OF US already know about her and Michael. You decide. I agree. re: the fight. The impression I've gotten from online, it isn't coming until the end of next week's episode. Kinda like how we aren't even getting the Michael stuff until next week really and they been advertising that for two episodes now. That said...the slow burn has started to...slowly set on fire. KAREN. Love Karen. Love Drunk Karen. Loved how great she looked in her outfit when Ray arrived. Karen is Queen. GIZELLE. I don't know why she had to sit in on Ashley and Candiace's talk when they had finally settled things between themselves. But I guess since it was growing well she made a good in-between since she's friends with both. It was nice to see she was not running around spitting all that tea, but instead had a private talk about what Michael did. Growth...? ROBYN. GUUUUUUUUUUURLLLLLLLLLL!!! Sitting over there, stirring the pot between Karen and Wendy. LOL!!! But other than that, she was just chilling. She ain't alone. T'CHALLA. Our newest member had me hollering with all the subtitles. Love him...and producers. hehe. WENDY. The things I would do to her husband. Just...mmmmmm...so darn foine chocolate goodness. Let me calm down. It's early in my morning yet. CANDIACE. Is it really the apocalypse? I have been liking her clearly redemptive arc so far even in light of what's been going on behind the scenes. In fact, it makes what's on screen so confusing for me if I am honest. BTS, she appears sneaky, but remorseful to everyone but the victim aka Monique. But on screen...well...you kinda see why she is not toooo remorseful. She could do better, but she IS DOING. Period. But that is Monique's choice if she forgives her. And even with that, they would have to sit down and talk. And sadly it looked like communication completely broke down this week. Which is partly why the fight happened. BUT...Candiace definitely was showing that newfound growth last night. Pulling Ashley aside to show the text. Actually showing the text. Actually explaining what was up with the talk to the group and Monique (with Ashley having her back mind you). Disengaging from Monique trying to pick a fight with her over the Ashley stuff. Keeping her presence a minimum since her and Monique were not in a good place. And no, I didn't like what Monique said about her probably upstairs packing. While true (and kinda funny she knows her so well) it wasn't the fun shade it could have been. MONIQUE. You know I love you...but... Candiace told Ashley privately. They handled it. Ashley was moving it on. And then...you just keep doing too much to the point that Candiace did not even want to talk to you. Again, it was a case for me of what was seen vs what I know was happening BTS. Lord, just typing that is giving me a headache because I feel like I'm saying that about all the Housewives shows now (when I really mean BH ) and that has been taking away from my enjoyment. And I wondered if what was going on BTS (the rumor) was the reason why she kept making comments like we did this last year. Talking about Michael...or Chris? Subtle shade...not subtle shade? Then there's what was seen. Monique was doing too much. I could see being annoyed since she was the host. But once Ashley, Giz, and Candiace explained, she should have been fine. But...she wasn't. And that wasn't a good look on her. Then she kept poking the bear. Good for Candiace for disengaging and walking away. Monique was being messy. Now...was she asleep or was she playing? I know I had a falling out with a good friend. In fact, I just talked to that friend a few days ago. We have only really talked once since he was in San Diego for business over the last 7 years because the falling out was that bad. And the last time we saw each other was like what happened with the sleeping person while I was Candiace saying good bye. But...sometimes you gotta part ways with friends who do not want you to grow. So I could see that there. Overall, great episode and so much to digest for me. And next week will be fire.

Same.

@DaytimeFan That is truly sad to hear. I cannot speak for LA since I am an hour (depending on how fast you drive ) out in San Diego, but the restaurant industry... As you recall, I spent a large portion of my employment in it. And now I just am just restaurant adjacent and it has been ROUGH. My job closed and re-opened back in May and it is STILL nowhere near how it was. Or at least that is the vibe I get from my boss who overthinks a lot so I might be wrong. However, this job is at an expensive outdoor mall and they seem to have allowed owners to get by on half payments and waivers of some kind, but that appeared to have been a struggle between the mall owners and owners period. Some owners did not even recover, businesses closed permanently. My boss did get the PPP loan and tried for another one that failed. I was glad that he did or I might be one job short and homeless on the street. He did a very good job keeping me and other co-workers afloat during that period so grateful for that. Even now when some of our co-workers did not come back when we re-opened, leaving me horribly understaffed. I definitely have seen restaurants that I never thought would close close. I saw a restaurant I had a bad date on (but great food) close, open for a week, close again, and just been reopened again for a week now. They appear to be open inside, but they have outdoor patio before and also expanded. In fact, a lot of San Diego restaurants and bars (not nightclub) have either completely expanded their seating outside, widening their patios, taking up sidewalks in front as well as their very own parking area. Or they do the glass hanging thing that I see in pictures between tables. However, the county I am in was one of the first to pass all the rules to reopen...something LA had difficulties with. But I would like to think smart cookie that LVP is that she could figure out a way around this and do some of this. So I'm not sure what to say. Definitely glad I left that job last year or I might be in worse trouble than I am now. For sure. RHOA So we are not going to talk about the Porsha drama? It seems those pictures of her tweaking the policeman were faked. Porsha produced video of her that day. And it turned out that she was just bending over to get water while protesting, not realizing that a policeman was behind her. So she spoke up and got her receipts lined up. But still...people aren't sure if she is being an activist or doing it for the show. And then...KENYA stepped in. Liking a tweet of someone calling out Porsha for doing it for the show. So Porsha called out Kenya today or yesterday for not supporting other black women. Sounded like there was going to be a little bit of drama anyway with newbie LaToya also causing drama between Kenya and Porsha and maybe coming for Tanya which of course does not sit well with Porsha. And...we are off to the races...

That reminds me... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/carina-adly-mackenzie-as-roswell-new-mexico-showrunner-1302667

RHOA Oh. I never knew that Kenya DID get Tanya together with some unknown tea. Tea that might be out there come next season if rumors popping up are true.

POTOMAC Oh, lord...are they BOTH going to be to blame for this upcoming fight? Love Mo, but bad look here. And I actually get when Can is coming from. But clearly she should have went to Ashley first. Methinks seeing all the layers in this clip makes me think Gizelle must have done something. Which is also why Karen is no longer close to Giz currently. NY And the Leah vs Dorinda scene at the Birkshires. Cut. And was in the midseason trailer. I'll vouch. It is what happened to LeeAnne. But how the others went about getting rid of her was foul. Especially her BFF. Right???? A day later and I am STILL shocked. Someone mentioned online and I wonder now as well. Is that why TInsley got to leave early and got out of her contract because production feared for her safety and knew Dorinda was dangerous. Cuz she was still on contract, right? Is there a penalty? Etc.

Might as well start the morning with the juicy tea...

Thank you @Chris B... I just saw the clip and WOOOOOOOWWW. I remember that clip from last season trailer, but never knew that it never aired. And WOW... Production were afraid for Tinsley's safety to the point that she couldn't even stay in the house with Dorinda. This is just juicy. I might just have to stop my slow binge and watch the reunion tonight then. And Dorinda looked PO, but I don't think I have ever seen Tinsley so boss either with her. Just WOW.
