HAHAHAHAHAHA at Jill knowing Esther is eavesdropping and telling her to get her bags. I love this knowing where this is heading (attic fight) And I still have the same feelings about Nick/Grace as I did as a kid (funny given I had no relationship drama to know that cheating is wrong back then)...HAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEE. @Darn Not you as a hater. I was meaning other folk.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, with a new book coming I actually have to agree with you and my haters and change it.

I just want to say I am so happy right now to see old school AD Diane Jenkins. And continuing to love MTS's acting...cuz she is still one of the few that would do those hospital scenes no makeup. Well, as Veronica would say 'that b Nikki!' lol. But true.

That's very true of what I've seen with Teresa fans. But that's why I feel the producers are taking a long way around approach. Time will tell if we make out of this darn lockdown though. At this point I feel the best parts are going to be (besides people's reactions) Kenya vs Nene and Kandi vs Nene which is why there is next to nothing being talked about other than hints and that lovely Kandi video she did today. Still like the clips though.

EXACTLY!!!! It was like they had such great builtup and then it just went left and NEVER recovered.

That whole prom week with THE ORIGINAL MUSIC would be awesome. That said...for me classic would be 1973 up to the Sharon tells Nick she knows of the Phyllis affair. That was just so well done. And then everything went to heck with highs and lows for the show. OMG *wipes tears* I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU.

Same. I was so young when that happened and it left so many MEMORIES. I didn't know much of the history beforehand except that they hated each other. And then there was Billy and Mac around that time so just more reasons for them to fight.

OMG! Nikki! How bold given how she is now. WOW!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssss to attic fight!!!

LOL. Or Mama and Grandma making you take a nap when you didn't get it at the time. Watching today as I work out and I am really liking this Danny/Phillip rivalry. Was it like this before or was the show doing Cricket overkick by that point?

AMEN. I saw that as I was dozing off last night re: Don Lemon. And all I could so was say Oooooo...childe...

THIS. Lol. We have another heat wave this week. I was out for supplies this morning and saw people behaving except for gym couples who should know better and the homeless. I was shocked either way. I still cannot believe ANYONE believe what He Who Shall Not Be Named about disinfectant. And yet...alas...

RHOA I meant to do this earlier, but Lockdown does have me keep weird hours and I do want to make time so... I actually did like the finale. After watching it few times, I don't think I saw Kenya touch Nene at all. But then again, didn't one of the girls say that scene was edited recently? Now I believe we all said last season was a transitional season. I agree with that. This season...it started strong, but post Toronto was all over the place. There were still good moments, but it did not feel like there was an ending. Thanks to last week's Secrets Revealed, we know why. And since someone else mentioned it I think above...I believe we mentioned in passing waaaaaaaay back due to TT that this season they had a new producer. it showed. By the end... NENE. Kenya called it in Toronto. She was on an apology tour and even though she did not seem at all sincere except with Porsha, she still got back in. Ugh. And then she acted the same way she was before. I am sorry, but I miss Season 1-5 Nene. I liked her in Season 6, too, but her current persona started then too I feel. Her bitterness. And she ended the season with half of the girls back. And yes she said a BUFFALO. I think I am just over her so I am looking forward to the reunion. KANDI. I don't want to leave this season without saying that while I am gay, Kandi was looking BANGING this season. Her style and fashion was on point all the way through this season and it was hard to miss. And her at Carnival I believe was the hottest she has EVER been on the show. She has her moments, but not start to finish on a season. Love it. I also loved her friendship with Kenya and Cynthia. Not much drama until the end but it was relatable drama. She at least almost always has something going on. PORSHA. I feel like someone should find that Tyra Bank gif for her. She was so the heart. I could totally feel her pain. After liking her for a few seasons now, I just want to shake her for taking Dennis back. And now he wants to backpaddle? It was like her storyline also disappear shortly after Toronto. Love her friendship with Tanya and her having her back. That has been organic to me. But her getting back with Nene. Ugh. Why, Porsha, why? CYNTHIA. This should be her last season. Or at least have her and have her leave next season halfway through a la LC on the Hills. That would be the prefect ending for her. She is happy and her family is out in LA. And she can do her business from everywhere. I am envious. lol. But she started strong and ended happy. We got drama from her very Snakegate, but getting good with Nene again was the end. I am happy she is not totally under her like before though so backbone is still there. EVA. I admit I agree with the rest of you all that she didn't do much. However, I did love her THs this year with their Phae Phae lite shade. KENYA. So much potential with her return. And it was fun. And she was messy. Then it got dark and I don't feel Kenya completely recovered. Glad she was back. Still the center really. Her feud with Marlo was good. Her rivalry with Nene was good...until it wasn't. Then her and Marc...LORD!!! Then we have Secrets Revealed that has Marc in a good? light and one has to wonder about the edit. She definitely keeps me guessing. That said...it's time for Kenya and Nene to either call a truce, actually fight, or one leaves. This is just too much now. You best play a good game of chess. But you have officially (for now) hit slatemate. When Kandi is over you, it's time. There needs to be some kind of resolution. That also said...they had 3 rounds and for me... ROUND 1...TORONTO. Kenya won that all out. But at that point, she was PO enough with the Marc stuff to beat Nene's Butt and I would have liked to see it. ROUND 2...GREECE. A draw. Nene started it, but I found in the following episode Kenya held her off just fine, especially mentioning that she carried off without her. And can again btw. But they both did walk offs. ROUND 3...KANDI'S. I would say Kenya again. She did stand her ground. If I didn't know about editing, I would say she got Nene's goat and won. But by that point it was such a over this already. THE REUNION. That reminds me...in case some of you all missed it, before the season ended Nene was poking the bear in Kandi online (love the Kandi/Candyman gif that was floating around) for a while when Kandi was not studying her. So Kandi going in on the Reunion clip (as well as the history of Kandi taking the mostly high road) is LOOOOOOONG OVERDUE. The clip I posted has a hint of Nene v Eva. And I hope Eva brings that Diva ALL THE WAY out. Again, it sounds like this is Season 10 Reunion again, but Nene subbing for Wig. I hope that is true because just like Wig that season, everyone was ready to film with her again, but she started all that drama and got what she deserve at the reunion for that. Nene for me is no different. In fact, she should have gotten dragged last year. She was the one with all this energy on WWHL. For her to get redeemed, like a good villain, time for comeuppance. Go down fighting, but GO DOWN. Nene...IT'S YOUR TURN.

See your first paragraph is why I usually use the ABC soaps as an example. Bravo has been trying to evolve for a long time. Changing their logo. Starting all those Home shows out of left field and repeating them more than their housewives shows. And this 'naughty' late shows now. And just like the ABC soaps under Frons, the shows did outdo all the gimmicks of younger, hotter stars and the shows they tried to develop. So Bravo gotta do what ABC did: self sabotage. It seems clear to me which I find sad because all they really need to do is evolve what they want to see. At this point, I feel the audience does want some drama, but some fun stuff...not just dark stuff. There's a video on YT that I listened to due to someone on Twitter mentioning it from a former producer on RHOA and it was enlightening and made me kinda feel a little bad for Nene. You must have missed the part of what I said that Bravo is going after them by having them for the most part doing themselves in. With Teresa and Nene, they are simply taking the long approach. Teresa being the best example. She IS the star. The only way they can do that with her is to push. They need a star with a dynamic to overshadow her. And Marge seems the obvious choice on that. Especially given that there was some tea that one of the producer was giving Marge a good edit. Of course, to be overshadow, the audience has to turn on Teresa too thus the reveal of her behind the hair pulling. And like I said, there is a YT video taking about how producers' minds tick. So much so that I can see why Nene would be upset. But she should also know that they are playing her for a reaction and she's playing into those hands. They probably kept Bethanny as long cuz she was BFFs with Andy tbh. And also like I said, they did want to keep LVP but the girls and the drama (and probably the fact that Kyle is a producer) made that hard for her. So compromise she still has LVP, still working on a spin off, and of course she has the audience on her side so she checkmated them. I agree with you here. There is a reason while production took those hags to bring it this season cuz LVP was gone so no scapegoat for them now. So like I said in my other post, Bravo's MO is clear. And how they are trying to do it.

GUEST STARS!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! VERY TRUE.

I remember liking MAB...until the whole town at the garbage dump thing + two doppelgangers running around at the same time. Even if I liked one of the doppelganger better than the other. At least she attempted to get Billy and Mac back together. But ugh at seeing later years Phyllis today versus yesterday's much better Phyllis.

BH Hahahaha at Teddi trying to feud with Dorit and Sutton on Twitter. Haven't seen this week's yet except for the clip above and next week's clip (and the commercial with Kyle to Lipsa 'Bring it on!'), but looks like what I said earlier holds true. Once Sutton said what she said at the dinner party, the girls FINALLY appear to start turning on each other. So yay?

DRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love their day ahead cuz usually when I feel like YR it is usually on the weekends--mostly Sundays.

Part of the reason I have loved Global on YT over the years. No matter what is going on, they keep to air as is without interruptions. Since I'm not expecting any major news, no reason to interrupt.

THIS. Different soap today, but just as annoyed.

WOW. That's just a spoil of riches.

RE: Gizelle. Apprently at some point (given her connections to Shady Phae Phae's Mr. Chocolate), Gizelle saw Nene often enough to try to get on her good side. Like NY's Ramona, Nene wasn't interested. So she reached out to Kenya at some point. Apparently the DC's streets ALSO talk so the tea that Kenya is allegedly supposed to be using on Nene at the upcoming reunion (not sure if the link at the top works for you but inside there is tea that Nene has been having an affair with a DC man) came from Gizelle's digging.
