I know I'll watch the Potomac marathon for sure. Bravo is going to marathon some of the first seasons of HW shows.

POTOMAC Lord... A bit slow, but another good episode. I knew Karen would be at it again, but OMG I got to hollering at 'the walk.' And kudos to Production!!!! The 'roll back the tape' shadiness on Wendy and the many, many, MANY times she has mentioned she had 4 degrees. Contrast that with Monique who only said she had four homes once and doesn't show off her money...it just IS. The split screen of Karen and 'the walk' and Wendy coming down the streets. The moment when Production added sound effects to Robyn's blinking her eyes cartoon 'doh' style. Production is just having too much fun and it shows. KAREN. What can I say? LA DAME WAS AT IT AGAIN!!!! KNOWING the Green-Eyed Bandits were up to no good. OWNING she said what she said and saying the real story. GATHERING every trick in sight. DEDUCING that Gizelle is behind everything. And as I suspected a while ago...it is going to come up on the Portugal trip. Karen mentioned in one of her interviews that she and Gizelle were heading for a major fallout. So...Karen must figure all of it out if Gizelle's claws are going to come out. Is there nothing Karen can't do? lol. ASHLEY. I LOVE MOMMY ASHLEY. THERE. I SAID IT. lol. And I know my dislike of her is well known on this board (and with my cousin lol), but I will say what I have said before. Motherhood has mellowed her all the way out. Other than last week's regression to Messy Ashley, she continues to come across so well. And I've been loving her. I even loved her in the after show that @Cat posted above. So it's sad to see her struggling with feeling depressed. And next week isn't going to help her. It seems like after all our weeks here of talking about how the Green Eyed Bandits (and Wendy and Candiace) have mostly be ignoring her to go after Monique or Karen, next week is HER turn. I guess it's cold in Hades cuz I'll be Team Ashley. GIZELLE. Messy. Moldy. Mildewy. I think Karen's on to you. And I hope with the reunion filming...this week?...that your comeuppance will be on its way. There's a reason that La Dame is no longer frakking with you. And I do hope that the producers show it. Sorry this part is short, but it's not like Gizelle has much of a storyline. Other than being shady to her BFF. ROBYN. I agree, Robyn...THE MODEL DID LOOK LIKE KATIE!!!! It was uncanny. lol. Other than being Gizelle's shadow this week, she was being the comic relief again. I wish she would just stick to that. I loved Karen getting her payback by ribbing her about her tax issues, but being classy enough to be a good friend at the same time. Gizelle, take note. MONIQUE. Sorry, you are stressed, but you did what you had to do. Nuff said. WENDY. Looked like she is butt hurt next week after being dragged by La Dame for the last two weeks. TOO BAD. She started that mess and La Dame simply finished it. I cannot believe she had so much potential and now...le sigh. And that tea that @DaytimeFan said about why she's on the show? Well...she really should have planned better because she is coming across awful to the point that the audience don't like her. I would rather see the Wendy I saw on the RACE IN AMERICA special that came on after it than this Wendy. The Wendy I saw on political clips. The Wendy I see with her family. There were so many angles she could have picked from, but instead she was trying to make Karen her storyline like Kary did to LeeAnne last season on DALLAS. However, La Dame is a smart cookie and is not falling for it like LeeAnne did with Kary. So not only is Wendy coming across badly, but also is coming across as a hypocrite. I would even take Wendy as Candiace's BFF if she had not pulled that mess last week where she purposely tried to drive a permanent wedge between Candiace and La Dame. Over her. And then she wanted to act all big and mighty on that after show? Try that again to La Dame's face. We can go 3 for 3 with the gathering you continue to get with all four of your degrees. How about being humble? CANDIACE. Speaking of humble...that after show? smh. I hope you know Karen is going to devour you whole at the forthcoming reunion for all of that extra you were doing with Wendy. Wendy we the audience know why she is doing it. But if Candiace wants to throw her friendship away with the one person who will be needing when this is over, fine. La Dame does not need a hoodrat rusty #@A bitca anyway. And your friend is no Kai. Your direction in life is non-existent. And Monique properly checkmated you. #staypressed And when this season is over, I am sure the Green Eyed Bandits will be back coming after you, making your little power play worthless. Last night...unless she brings some new drama, Candiace's days are numbered. I am so ready for Portugal. I could use a vacation and this one looked like they found some sights.

OC While I'm waiting for POTOMAC to repeat...hehe(ETA: dozed off)...I figured I should mention...well...it's easy breezy so far. In a different way from how POTOMAC is. POTOMAC is better at it. But OC seems like it is doing a slow burn. Sadly, sometimes I had other things going on versus POTOMAC where I barely do anything else. And I seem the gang-up coming. Le sigh. LIke the weddings last year all over Bravo shows, that appears to be the theme of Bravo shows this year. And...over it really. Now perhaps it will take a different turn, but...we'll see. SHANNON. Really?!? Three episodes in and I was liking Shannon. Having a man and a blended family becomes her. That's a Shannon I liked. But...ugh. At least give Braunwyn some credit for owning her crap and admit that she threw you under the bus with Gina and the house story. Of course, she reacted as only Shannon could. I hope they can smooth it over. EMILY. Le sigh. Broken record here, but I am not liking Bone Carrier Emily. There's no style to it like ShebySheree. No wit when she can be witty. It just seems mean girl and extremely two faced. Worse...fake. KELLY. It surprises me that she's not really in the thick of the drama. Yet. However, the clip I saw from next week of her and Emily and Co-Vid...didn't trigger me. Yet. But I suspect...especially after this past week...that triggered indeed I will be. For now, I loved the comic relief that she provided with Emily with their impersonation of Shannon. It was true, in jeers, and didn't come across as Mean Girls. GINA. Who would have thought that all the drama so far has to do with her and Braunwyn over how a house looks? I say this much...she is keeping it moving. But her delusions of her being (and the others acting) like she's Queen Bee is laughable to me. I guess with Tamra gone, someone has to do it. But I don't like her in it. ELIZABETH. I just want to call her Vicki 2.0. lol. She's been light and fun and with a dash of common sense so far. And her vibe at Shannon's party was so RHOV Christina...which I LOVED Christina. BRAUNWYN. In light of her and her husband separated (shame cuz nice butt) and her coming out as bisexual...it does make her scenes that much more intriguing. Has she always known, felt uncomfortable in her own skin, and used alcohol to numb her pain? She would not be the first person. I knew a guy once who was military and called himself 'super straight' when I met him. Every time he drank, he was either trying to rub my nipples, looking for me, or wanting me to sit on his lap. It was weird. In any case, the struggle Braunwyn was having felt all too real to me. And it was just odd that the ones who knew acted like she was just being crazy while the ones who didn't know she quit drinking were being 'she's just acting crazy.' I am sorry that Shannon felt hurt. And I definitely didn't like that gangup. They just wanted to start something for the sake of starting something. We got on POTOMAC and BH. Seriously...enough. That said...it was a surprisingly good episode. I'm currently binging RHOM Season 2 so I've been actually taken by these establishment shots they do when the show comes back from commercials to show OC proper. And you know what...have they normally done it like they are doing it now? Because RHOM was doing it back then and it's breathtaking.

RHOA Commercial from last night!!!

So I guess you saw her cameo last season. I think it was the leopard women party that Nene threw when Kenya showed up for 8 minutes. Speaking of RHOA, first commercial tonight. It looked like the focus is really on Cynthia's wedding (and the bachelorette party), Kenya's divorce, and Porsha's activism. With humor of course. Excited.

OH NO!!!! Hope you are okay. Good energy sent your way.

Oh?

Hmmmm...interesting. Makes what's coming moreso.

Oooo. Dish!!!

AMEN.

I thought he was invincible to be honest. DAMN.

Damn.

I'm not Chris Samuels, but I found my Monique. Hmmmm...

See? I don't remember Tanya being calm about it at the reunion. And that was the thing I liked about her. She was acting like everyone else which meant Kenya got to her. Yeah, Cookie Lady wasn't good for anyone, but Tanya did lose a little of what made her cool for me.

+ 1 and good to read before I go back to sleep. lol. If I wanted to add everything it would be this...I do not feel that Tanya never recovered from the Cookie Lady drama. While Kenya was wrong for that, it tainted Tanya who up to that point was all light and bubbly and smart. Going forward while her feelings for Kenya was justified, a heretofore cattiness popped up of her that was just ugly to me. I went from feeling she brought a fresh air to the show to respecting her, but slowly disliking her. It felt like she was dragging it out with Kenya more than Kenya dragging it out with her at the reunion and THAT was unflattering. Hopefully before Kenya strikes again, Tanya gets her halo back. Yeah after rewatching the trailer, I agree with you re: Kandi. It isn't about the money. It''s about the time lost between father and daughter. And I think Riley is truly hurt over that. Thus Kandi is truly hurt over that.

HA!!! That's exactly how I felt when I officially went back to work!!! After struggling with lockdown the first two weeks, I was resent AF to go back cuz I did get used to binging shows. I was shocked.

RHOM I'm watching the Lingerie party. WOW. The craziness. Do they count as first gang-up on a cast member?

hehe...very true. Very happy for you.

@DramatistDreamer and @Juliajms oh it has gotten much worse. And as someone who has to deal with it, there is no excuse when we all are dealing with anger and frustration and are not taking out on the customers in front of us. I had quite a few people wanting to get attitudes with me cuz I asked them to put on their masks right when they are ordering. Most of these people were regulars. I had to school them on what they presume is rudeness from me is simple straightforwardness and THEN I showed them what being straight blunt was. They backed off quickly if clearly bothered. One wanted to argue with me over the fact he was wanting a sandwich but wouldn't tell me which sandwich he wanted like I was a mindreader. Since I clocked him before he even entered as someone that was looking to 'play' non-wanta-wear-a-mask...I was not surprised. And he got read and reminded I shouldn't have to say anything at all at this point because we have been dealing with this SINCE MARCH. Aka not a kid, wear the frakking mask or as Mariah Carey would say GTFO. Not that I've seen what my mother had to go through and worry about, YES you are not about to get me sick when you can get on your phone you are on 24/7 anyway and GOOGLE how to properly wear a mask and when you should have one. Or...DON'T EAT. I will also fourth that. I wish I had it given what I have to deal with. And that is just in the rich part of town. Not the gay neighborhood which actually is worse nor is it where I actually is downtown where people have now taken to acting like a vaccine has been found. Uh...NO.

Yeah, NY no matter what has delivered. I may watch it funny, but I do like those girls. They have given me so many lmfao moments after a bad day at work this year. And LuAnn is Bae for me. Well BH would not have to try so hard if they would be REAL. *sips* I've enjoyed your commentary on DALLAS Season 4 so you be excited. When it was airing I liked it but it got a little too personal for me given what was going on with me that year so it was a sharp dislike. Andy Cohen at the reunion on a year where he has not been a good host at all for ANY of his shows did not help. And speaking of Bravo...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! at that shady tweet. They are so trolling the fans. I find it funny since how is it that no one knows (other than us apparently) that Marlo gets paid just as much as a housewife now and now it is a personal choice to NOT have a peach?

Oh yeah...this season of DALLAS is the year of 'themed' house parties. And this...is me. My apologies. Everyone knows I disliked last season of DALLAS. Unlike BH, I have not quit it yet, but that last season left a bad taste in my mouth. But I am at least curious. I don't know. NY started off strong in lockdown and they have tried enough tactics to keep the city going going by my friends on FB who live there. And what I've seen. I don't know how their new system of lockdown down sections of the city by zip codes with the highest cases is going. And thank you. It has seen been argued that Heather is not full time, but at least I am hoping for heavily recurring at the moment.

I think OC has the unique position of having a good amount filming pre-corona, in-corona, and then of course post-corona. I want to say NJ barely started before it hit so it's most in-corona and post. I don't even think they were filming when Jennifer got it for example while you have Shannon filming and documenting it. ATL and DALLAS started filming in the post-corona world. NY started post (but filmed confessionals after everything had already been filmed pre-corona). I am sure OC will ruin it, but it has a very unique BEFORE/AFTER vibe which should be interesting viewing in a way that, while great shows all, is lightning in a bottle. Perhaps Tamra/Vicki will be a blessing as they do this light reset.

Heheh. I am very happy to see she's able and willing,

So she did confirmed, huh? Well... ...Kenya WON.

Right...?
