POTOMAC I thought it was another easy breezy episode. I cannot believe how fast these episodes go by. And I'm sad it's over when I get to the end. I want more. lol. It's well paced. We get to see the day to day. We get to see the talks. And I believe we are four episodes in and each other has had an event. And a FRESH argument or NEW twist on an old argument. I feel I'm going to be saying this a lot this week, but BH, TAKE NOTE. KAREN. We needed something fun and silly and Karen brought that in spades!!! Loved seeing Matt (thinner, too, so I guess their mutual trainer is working). Loved the singing telegram. Love the REACTIONS to the singing telegram. Love her goal of being friends with Beyonce. Karen was all kinds of fun. And there is NOTHING wrong with that. ROBYN. Okay, I will give it to her. I giggled when I saw the pizzas. It was shady, but fun shade. GIZELLE. Speaking of returning recurring characters, it's KAI!!!! I was happy to see him since it seem like we only saw him in the first two seasons as Gizelle's GBF and maybe a cameo in another episode and then POOF!!! And I liked that he was talking sense to her. However, it didn't seem like Gizelle will be listening. MONIQUE. A realistic way of seeing a husband and wife that clearly love each other. Yes, they still bump heads. But they get it. No trouble in paradise here. WENDY. Well...I guess we see why she's friends with Candiace. And you know what they say about the company you keep. While I got what she was trying to say in the clip I posted from next week, I would think because she's on Child NUMBER THREE and Ashley is on Child NUMBER ONE, she would remember how she was and understand where Ashley was coming from. And it seem here she was being a little too catty and a little too messy. At least, Candiace was trying to do better. ASHLEY. I just don't think I will ever warm up to her, but I continue to be surprised by how much I relate and find myself on her side this season. And like I said above, the difference between her and Candiace as Monique's friend is night and day. Especially knowing the tea from Monique's IG. See that Ashley mentioned it and Candiace's part in it, but not saying what it is. Because she is a FRIEND. Candiace is playing 'coy' (aka dumb) and given the hot mike from last week and the IG who would believe her? Especially when she DID NOT tell Monique about the Walrus and the rumors. No wonder Ashley chooses to stay cautious. She is definitely getting a good edit, but she is of course using common sense. CANDIACE. Surprisingly, I got where she was coming from with Wendy, but Wendy just should not have trusted Robyn. That said...she is not bugging me yet. And apparently Episode 6 will have a clue to what led to the fight and also plays a factor into the cast trip after. Interesting.

2 for 2 for Ashley. Per Monique's IG Live, Ashley has her back and just indirectly brought up the tea from it to Candiace. Without saying the extent of the tea, but that they all know. I respect that given at this point Monique did not want it out there. BH, take note.

POTOMAC 15 minutes away and wireless tv reset so I should see it. Meanwhile...next week...and I see both sides of the argument but...I guess I am slightly Team Ashley.

I admit that this season of BH had soooo much potential. Then it went left. Unless something dramatic happens at the reunion, this...a 10th season at that...was a waste. But again, I hope they do a Lost Scenes episode this season because I feel like what should have been will be in that episode and it will have all the tea like RHOA's Lost Scenes this past season. OOooooo...THANK YOU. I was worried that was from this season of NY since I'm slowly binging the last few months' worth of episodes and thought she had popped up. I would down for New York showing up. Her vs LuAnn alone...or heck even Dorinda cuz New York would be having NONE OF IT.

NYC OMG!!! YES, I would down with THIS. Her and Sonja already look like they have chemistry!!!

See? And THIS is why I cannot wait for them to do a Lost Scene episode this year. They have manipulated the narrative since we have come back from the hiatus, I no longer begin where we started off at and where we are now was the plan from the beginning. Just can't believe anything much anymore on this show. And Lipsa. TRASH.

Same. Which regardless of my current feelings for OC, I cannot wait to see how the mask fight starts/turns out. Because that sounds like organic drama to me.

@alwaysAMC I don't know. Bravo seems adamant to keep RHOA to December like they usually. Good to hear Emily heard something You know heard anything else about SL?

Just so we are all on the same page...HW Filmings. RHOD...started end of June; few weeks left OC...started pre-pandemic, stopped, resumed and wrapped a week ago JERSEY...resumed late July and already filming a lot and fast RHOA...started in July and also filming a lot so far. Seems like RHOD is already filming confessionals and RHOA is starting this weekend.

WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given how well off Joyce is now...even more than she was during S4 with her line on QVC, producing tv shows that I do not think have been canceled and the like, being a role model for models...Kyle would not have been able to stand her at this point if she was to point up anyway.

FRY HIM!!! I can't believe he doesn't know how not putting the boxes back will impact people. Trash!!

I remember him from the Dark Shadows remake in the 90s and he's on Pandora? I was just thinking of watching that. Sad either way.

They need to put his A$% in the hot seat and then let it rip.

Not to mention the fact that the storyline is now a series of pick up scenes versus the clear direction that it was going in. They should have stuck the landing. If these 'ladies' cannot be real on camera like they are picking on Denise for being (when she is being real herself), it is time for them all to go. Love you. Now THAT'S a REAL reaction. God, I hope not. That scene...another scene where Denise stopped being nice and let her claws out...was a great one from the trailer. Now that I think about it. Does that mean they threw out ALL of the promise of Episode 1's flashforward with the grinning Denise.

Same for one new woman who is a wild card and WOC. Now that I think about it...no. And THAT would also be organic drama. As long as no one gets like the Green Eyed Bandits and force a make-up. Sounds like a perfect idea for a Season 11.

Organic drama...who would have thought? I also agree with that lineup. And I don't see LVP coming back until those hags are gone...and/or Kyle is taken down.

Hmmmmmm

BH I agree with @DaytimeFan as well. All this extra time. All of that extra month. Cutting back from 20 episodes to 16 and THAT'S IT?? That's the best they could come up with. Especially when people keep dropping cut scenes on Twitter that show the season could have had so much more meat to it? THAT'S ALL YOU GOT? Trash. That episode was a bore to get through for me. It was like the plot ended in Rome LIKE IT SHOULD. But they STILL had to resurrect it for no reason. This season would have been better off if it had gone where it appeared to be going which was right toward a Kyle takedown. And those texts didn't even prove anything except that they are heinous bitcas. I really just can't. But that said...I do like that more and more...and with LVP gone...we all are seeing who the REAL puppetmaster here. And for that we have proof. KYLE. Daytime Fan has excellent proof above. And Bravo has flashback clips they could show as well. In fact, they did not hesitate to flashback to one of Brandi's many vulgar talk speeches. Yet they did not flashback to any of the times Brandi brought up Mo cheating on Kyle. YET...they showed clips of EVERY TIME Lipsa had to be the center of the attention whenever anyone mentioned Erika and CHICAGO. THAT right there is VERY telling. The only person who could have that power would be someone who is also a producer. A producer who does not want to look bad. A producer who is tone deaf to how they actually look when showing the clips ironically 'might' show them in a sympathetic light. A producer who has been trying to control the narrative from the very beginning of the season. But who could I be talking about...hmmmm? Note that I said puppetmaster, NOT chess player. Clearly she will never be Bobby Fischer. LIPSA. Fake A$$ bitca. I again have to look to the picture with Amelia and the hats. That scene was clearly staged. Perhaps done in that month period, proving Lipsa to be a lie...funny given the promo for next week. But again, Lipsa is always trying to deflect. Even Amelia was saying her mother was part of the reason for her disorder, but that just flew over Lipsa's head. Is she so self-absorbed, so thirsty for attention. Apparently so. Otherwise, Garcelle checking her wouldn't have hurt at all. It was such a terrible look for her tonight. Over her. ERIKA. You know what? I liked the CHICAGO scenes. I felt it was a shame she didn't try to spotlight that more to give her a storyline. Like how RHOA Kandi can make a storyline out of anything going on in her life. Erika would have been better off. But if she wants to look like a blowup doll I guess... IMA HAVENO COM'ENSE MELLONCHAP. I know if I was having a baby shower, I wouldn't want that kinda of energy or drama there. You have the sense to send adults out, but to NOT just HAVE A BABY SHOWER. Girl, stay pressed. Especially after leaking that story of the false tweet only for your benefit? Trying to be a Versace, when you ain't nothing but Forever 21. DORIT. Oh, her expression were on point. Like when Garcelle checked Lipsa. I hollered. That WILL be a gif. Mark my words. That said...I LOVED she was the voice of reason and asking all the right questions to Brandi. I believe Denise, too. GARCELLE. Still Queen. If anything I like that she was giving Lipsa a taste of her own medicine. I still love that she has Denise's back. And I only wish she had not apologize, but she is mature enough to do that which is a plus. DENISE. You did the right thing. And I see next week you might be showing someone how to truly play a game of chess. And with Camille to boot. Ooooo... ON MY WISH LIST...Seeing that Garcelle is not stupid from next week's promo and that Brandi did show up to that finale party and that was probably why Denise did not (and Denise said she figured they were trying to get them to meet for drama), it looked like Garcelle was starting to put her foot on ALL OF THEIR NECKS for a second in the promo and I hope that was true. I also hope she gives it to Brandi as only she can. As I've already said...I am ready for the reunion and some firings. Clearly LVP was not the problem. And that problem...is still there. I agree. That was really the best part of this season. Who would have thought Dorit would ever be somewhat redeemed after last season?

Why, YES, WE CAN. So much better than that episode of BH was. But to be fair, we knew it was coming once Lipsa starting coming for Garcelle's kids. Add on that new dancing video today and she has poked the bear waaaaay too much and I need Garcelle to gather her ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER.

THIS.

RHOD Meanwhile, while RHOC is going for a shorter season, D'Andra is saying that Season 5 will be LONGER, apparently due to LeeAnne saying somewhere there would be ten. Since she's not on the show this season...things to make you go hmmm. Oh...filming extended to September. And I think they dropped the Jennifer girl to Friend. ETA: I wanted a bit more clarification so apparently Jennifer is still a HW after all. And while they are extending the filming, RHOD is almost done filming their season. Recently did a themed bday party for Dr. Moon.

@Soaplovers thank you! I haven't heard much, but I DID hear about the mask fight.

If only.

Now let's hope that holds up.
