That's another thing that I think I liked as well. A shorter season. Perhaps it won't be filler and be well paced. NY Finally starting playing catch up. I doubt I will be caught up by the finale tonight for sure, but definitely caught up for the reunion. And like I mentioned several times...perhaps it's the lack of Bethanny but I just cannot seem to get into this season unless I'm binging it. I started from Tinsley's leaving. And yeah, that was sad and I felt she got her happy ending. And I loved the update. And with the Halloween party, Sonja Sonja Sonja, why did you (accidentally) make things worse for Elyse with Ramona. Ramona did not need your help on that. She was doing it already. I have been liking Elyse, but I am sorry to see that she is probably the end of her on this show. JILL!!! Well-timed watching this episode so far knowing she was in pictures with the girls just yesterday. And even now...the girls are bringing up Dorinda's drinking. From comments here I know it goes downhill from here. And that saddens me. There's a scene I saw with Dorinda and her daughter and it just hit on the head what is going on with her. That scene felt real.

Speaking of trying to drag...here's how you get ahead of a narrative with class.

I haven't even sat down to watch yet since I just walked in from work. HOWEVER I DID see the promo for Part 2 and let me tell you something LINT...you come for Fancy, and Black Twitter is going to drag your boring irrelevant backside from here all the way back to your dad's woman's womb. Stop trying it. ETA: Clearly, I am going to need a drink to get through this.

It suuure did. So we should be getting it from all angles. Shannon in as a soap heroine. And with an arc in place, she might have her best season since her first.

Yeah, I was sadden when LeeAnne lightened her hair because her raven locks were up my And yeah...until somebody pointed that out about D'Andra's looks, I agree with how she is acting being the face. One thing you could say about LeeAnne she was a hustler when it came to promoting RHOD. It seemed like she is still low-key doing it actually. But now that's been D'Andra. See? That's what I was talking about. A time capsule of our time. Just the hopes for 2020 thing. Shivers. I admit...it does intrigue me for the reasons I mentioned. I am in San Diego. And yes, we have heard tales of how it has been in OC so it will be interesting to see how OC deals with that here. And as expected, Shannon is showing it all. I am shocked decided to show up on camera. I think like Cat. It could be a good season. Or a mess. But I am...willing...to...give...it...a...change.

Cat, quite a few people online have picked on D'Andra's looks going as far as to say she looked like she was Single White Femaling LeeAnne in one of those Hawaii theme party pictures she posted. I agree. She looks nothing like how she used to. Shame. I liked her Gothic look. Only gossip I really heard was Jennifer (one of the new girls) might be drama and someone might have a divorce storyline. But that might be Jennifer too so...*shrugs* And the 'Brandi video' drama will be addressed. So we are going to redeem Brandi, but not LeeAnne the actual star? uh...ok. I also agree that I don't like D'Andra as the face of RHOD. With LeeAnne gone, she is pulling a Kyle and going for that crown. Yay!!! Same page on Number 1. Still ugh on her. Good to hear good things about Tiffany. But she has been trying to get on the show for a while.

RHOD So rumors is there will no updated cast photo this year, huh?

I admit that I like that their hook has been the mystery behind it...not unlike Potomac's first season. Other than the name Jen Shah and still not anything about her...I know nothing. So I am intrigued.

POTOMAC I'll say this much for last night's episode. They continue to pass by so fast. They are sooooooo good. And this was no difference. It was nice to see Monique showing off one of them four houses. And it goes without saying who the star of the show was. GET HER, T'CHALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!! Over I rewatched so many times. lol. KAREN. Only second to T'Challa, this was Karen's show. WATCH Karen say what we were ALL saying about Gizelle. SEE Karen react to T'Challa's attack. CONTINUE to see Karen have her heel on Gizelle's neck. SEE Karen gather Dr. Wendy all the way together. LOL!!! This is Karen's world, and you are just orbitting the late diva, girls. She was HILARIOUS. MONIQUE. Can't we all have a rich chill friend like her? I loved her house. I loved how she was a good host. I loved she was playing peacemaker. GIZELLE. She was soooooo wrong for shading Candiace, but Karen got her back GOOD. lol. ROBYN. She was not late for the food. Kandi lite? ASHLEY. uh *cough*TeamAshley*cough* Like I said when I posted the clip last week, I was Team Ashley. This is her first baby. She is not doing anything differently than what I've heard from first moms. And add on to the post partum, it made sense. Not sure if Dr. Wendy knows about that last part. But I would think she would understand and come to Ashley with some compassion. Perhaps Wendy was mad because she got the room with the double beds. *shrugs* And ha at Michael. I shook my head at how he was insist she take the baby, knowing what we know about him tricking with strippers AND HIS BOYFRIEND? Hmmm DR. WENDY. And while I was TeamAshley pre-T'Challa attack, I understand what she meant about a girls trip. We all have friends who just don't like kids that much. I've been one of them at one point. However, she was wrong for not remembering what it was like. And since she didn't ask Monique if she could bring her, she should be quiet. Then again, I was Team Wendy at the dinner. Ashley was more mad at the delivery and wanted to use that for some drama. I don't think Dr. Wendy was wrong on that. And guess what, Ash? YOU GOT THE RIGHT ONE FOR THAT. That was obvious. It also seem like Wendy was looking to start something with Karen. And La Dame let you know YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE FOR THAT. She was going too hard like a mini-Candiace and I felt she needed to calm down. I love her reaction expressions to everyone, but I feel the doctor is trying too hard so far. Don't hate her. Don't completely like her though. ETA: I forgot CANDIACE. lol. I wanted to say that her apologies are sounding genuine. Which makes what is coming sad. Like Ashley, she's giving a little bit of a different flavor this season. And like Ashley, I cannot say that I hate it. However, I don't think she should have a baby yet until she deals with her own issues. I wish I could say more, but RHOP episodes so far have been easy, breezy, and therefore perfection. This season is flying by and so far it's been great.

I think audiences for better or for worse want to see real over fake. And if they see something relatable all the better.

That's what I've been saying. It is a different time right now and when these seasons are repeated a few years from now, they are going to DEFINITELY be a sign of their times. From Zoom confessionals to what was going on at that time to how some HWs represented...or in BH's case didn't...it gives the current seasons a certain feel. RHOA was going to be interesting regardless. But even with CO-VID being a storyline so is all the BLM things going on due to Porsha's activism. For the first time in a while, real life is coming in again (not that the girls were too false) and it's nice to see depending on how it's handled of course. And I had no intent of watching OC this year. But with the mask fight and the idea that Shannon might be a way to educate people on what it is like to have Covid and hopefully they see why they should wear a mask, I am curious enough to watch to see how it's handled. Like you said...back to organic fights. And...organic ways of conversation.

Nobody want to see Fake Kary's A@#. lol. Or even D'Andra given that movie she is trying to put out that is tone deaf to BLM. JS. Now if Jennifer pops up on the trip. Post that.

It's mentioned on the previous page, boo.

Yeah, I converted my cousin to love RHOP so we are always clowning about it every Sunday. And I figured she could use more laughs since she just had a daughter. I am just sad that thanks to me her daughter has Gizelle as her new middle name. But I'm working on converting her into a Karen fan. I hoped this clip did it.

So sounds like Karen let them know what time it is. Can't wait!!!

I...AM...DEAD. And...Now we said it.

Sounds like to me someone who didn't mind being used is not getting a diamond to me. And yet she wants to pick on Camille who does it so much witty and classier?

POTOMAC OOOooo....I am loving the hints in this interview. And what could Karen had done to her? And love that she is TeamMonique.

DAMN STRAIGHT.

Well, it's a good thing I stopped buying that brand of chicken then.

End of September. I fully expecting it to be eye opening this year like RHOA's was this year with scenes that SHOULD have stayed in the season. Mark my words. THE BOLD. I liked that it was about the glamour and that very thing. And when I think about that S1-3 and S5 did all of that with the introduction of Eileen and Taylor McBride. There were still hints of it in later seasons, but it seem like Bravo moved away from it to non-pleasing results. Is it safe to say that the start of this season is the closest it got back to the glamour side of things with the introduction of Sutton and Garcelle and Dorit stepping it up? RHOA Yeah...I hate to say it...but I am side-eyeing. RHOD Last cast trip is going to Oklahoma. And then a finale event this coming week or next. And they will be done filming.

That's why I've very interested to see the Lost Scenes episode next month. It has been clear there has been a long of interesting scenes (other than one involving some random preggers chick) that has inform scenes we have seen and really reveal something that should have been in the season, not the cutting room floor. That was like RHOA this past year when they had a scene putting Snakegate to some form of resolution. In the actual show, it just vanish after taking up most of the season. There was another scene that shows a hint into Kenya and Marc's marriage. They were showing all these scenes that should have STAYED in the season that would have made it richer. And I personally want to see the cut party on BH which everyone was dressed to the nines and pre-gangup-on-Denise. Cuz she was there. Garcelle was there. It would be nice to see the dynamic before they did the 'hiatus.'

Easily my favorite so far. I was messaged right as I was getting off work. I just...I am beside myself. Not much older than me. And just the inspiration he gave so many people. I remember all the celebrations when BLACK PANTHER came out. The pride at seeing a character who should have long been on the screen on it AND headlining. Seeing black youth being so enchanted and motivated. Seeing all those black pride videos. Just...I know I'm going to have a good cry later. Just...numb.

So today is the day theaters re-open. Or this weekend. Nervous all the same.

And I LIVE for her petty. I mean...what did Brandi expect? Garcelle is THAT RIDE OR DIE CHICK when it comes to her friends. NY So this article references Page Six, but how reliable is this site. Cuz...Yeeeeeah, I already don't like her even with her messy past I hear. https://www.allabouttrh.com/2020/08/27/meet-the-woman-who-could-possibly-replace-dorinda-medley-on-rhony/ Sees like a bad article given they need to give more of the facts AND the tea. For example...SOUTHERN CHARM originally started filming last fall and Bravo thought it was BH this season aka 'too boring.' So they forced them to restart again. THEN their narrator Cameran Eubanks from REAL WORLD: SAN DIEGO alum left arbuptly after all these years with other regulars following due to the fact they were going to pull a Denise Richards on This Year's BH (except it is her doctor husband that had the affair) on her, using the show's villain (who had been redeemed somewhat) to do it. Then said villain said some bad racist tweets. And you get where I am going there. Research, writer. There's a whole other article that could be used for this...namely why is Bravo railroading several of its long time stars on various franchise in slanderous ways? This. Below Deck Med. BH. A pattern is there. Just follow the thread. On the good, I guess that means SAILING YACHT is getting a second season, but given that franchise is in a dark turn like the HW shows are right now, not sure if that is good news. I did love that Shannon on OC got props. And that is true. And I must admit...that (along with the mask fight) does kinda make me want to watch this season. Cuz Shannon for better or worse does give the good, the bad, AND the ugly. And any experiences with Coronavirus might give people the knowledge needed to follow up and even wear masks properly. But let me stop. My work environment is showing.
