I clearly should not be in here before my first cup of coffee. That said...s*it got real when the V for Vendetta mask makes an appearance. And *HUGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS* for Soapsuds. Apologies for your loss.

Unnerved. Nothing like coming out of your workplace to find it swarming with policemen and almost no way home. And La Mesa is still burning from what I see online. Yep. Trump has been fanning that flame waaaaay too long for that NOT to happen. But my theory has always been that this close to November he will do ANYTHING to steal the election...or get it cancelled. Martial Law, anyone?

I like the idea behind GIgi's, but I couldn't finish it. Not because it was not good, but now that song (and Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off') have new emotional attachments to them due to the show THE MAGICIANS. But no spoilers here if you haven't watched that. I came middle of the show from work. I liked it overall. I loved that Heidi got voted that. And I am happy with who won because I felt of the three I could not take my eyes off her.

So I get off my day back at my main job after a looooong day to see this...and I admit I smiled a little bit...and I do believe that is Buffie from MARRIED TO MEDICINE

Well timed. I know it's going to be a looong day for me. Stay strong, my friend.

*HUGS* I already said this was going to be a long day. And that was BEFORE the arrest of the black reporter who was just reporting, Trump's meltdown over Twitter censoring him, and that shooting at that one protest. To think, today is my first day back at my main job and I really don't want to go out my door. Just scared, tired, and angry.

+ 1. In total agreement. What makes it more sad? More than likely he will be too busy with being butthurt that Twitter just started to censor his tweets now.

BH Well...in light of this week's episode, I find these dropping INTERESTING.

I figured. I've only seen that scene as a flashback in another episode so given how scenes come and go, I thought better safe than sorry. Apologies.

Where was this military when people WITH GUNS was playing 1863 with some of the legislative in their state? *side-eye*

WOW. It took minutes before I realized that was BD's Jill. She looked so YOUNG. And just in case...the next video after the next one...

I finally saw the commercial again. I think you are right and it was just Kendra with a deeper voice. My bad.

Let's see... VERONICA MARS S1 (slowly, but surely) KRYPTON S2 BEING HUMAN (U.S.) S2 ONCE UPON A TIME S1 (my first time, and given my love of fairy tales, I am liking) PROJECT RUNWAY S5 (been binging for a while and really on S8, but skipped 5 since library didn't have it, but see it is currently on YT)

Yeah, I am sure it will come into play somehow (season finale?), but just too many weddings this past season.

Yeah...I am coming into this season with no love for her at all now. At least, Kyle is bringing something...even if it is mean girl energy. That heffa though?

It was VERY GOOD TO SEE: re: B&B. I've been particularly waiting for it. I live for those behind the scenes at soaps. And I am an on-again/off-again viewer for B&B so I have a pretty good idea when that was filmed so I felt happy to see her in a photoshoot. I was happy KKL was game to be filmed especially. I always felt she might not do it. I am sure Kyle was green with envy. Now you know Erika's teenage years was her being on a stripper pole. Who's Teddi? Oh, wait. You mean that weaksauce heffa that lives in Kyle's butt that talks too much for some reason. I know her! The one who needs to STFU.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

BH I really cannot believe them. I thought Denise made sense. And surely all of these ladies remembered when they were kids and the parents are always wanting the kids to go play and be in their rooms when the 'grownups talking.' She explained it nice and calmly. They were just looking for something to think badly of Denise on. So I guess they are going to make this a true battle for the crown then. KYLE. I saw that smirk. I guess as the villain of the piece, you get to have your wins. That means your comeuppance will be sweeter. It made me wonder if she told Lipsa and Teddi offscreen to keep bring up the party so she could keep her hands clean. I suspect next week at Garcelle's event that there was some editing involved and there was something else said that made Kyle have that look though. ERIKA. Girl, I know you did not. I know people mentioned it online, but I didn't see it before now. Erika really is feeling some kinda way about Denise saying that they should not be talking about adult things around kids. Just because you didn't raise your own, you might not understand that. So...it is her house. It is good manners to do as the host wins. You know...like you would want done at YOUR house. And then Erika wanted to talk behind Denise's back. Uh....no. That makes you fake and since you are the one that said her daughter probably has done a threesome, I fully expect Denise to DRRRRRRRRAGGGGG you at the reunion. Be on ready, boo. PS. You got a taste of it at the dinner last night when you tried to come for Denise when she did not send for you. And you found...DENISE FRAKKING RICHARDS DID NOT BACK DOWN TO YOU. And she has you on her good side. Wait until you land on her bad. DORIT. I know I have not forgiven her for Puppygate and want her to get her comeuppance. That said, Dorit seems to be the Kandi this season. I said a few pages back that this past season of RHOA that Kandi was on point fashion wise, body wise, and I don't see Kandi like that, but this was the first time that she just had an oomph that I never saw in Kandi. A sexy hot. Dorit has really been giving all kinds of looks for me. Not quirky 'let's be camp for the sake of it.' FASHION. I've...admit that I've been loving it. Her shade (especially against Teddi) has been flawless. And she has been subtly potstirring in a while that I find so much better than Lipsa. It is like in a way she is owning her fakeness, embracing it, and staying to play with it in a tongue-in-cheek for the audience. Like we are in on a joke that only we are sharing. And...it is working. LIPSA. That was gross. Denise is your friend of 20 years. I guess I should be surprised since she was friends with all the girls on BH before the show. But that was just gross. And you knew what you were doing. You were NOT subtle. And if she does not see why that would hurt Denise, she is just a soulless bitca. GARCELLE. I wish she had been there, but I enjoy that she got time with the family. I do worry they are treating her like a black character on a soap (a B story), but I am going to continue to say she is being OC Season 9 Lizzie...which means she will be in the thick of it (and TeamDenise) soon enough. SUTTON. Still living off the last week 'let the mouse go' for me. Dorit properly checked. Yeah...I like her. She is quirky as us Southerners can be. She's rich and doesn't mind showing it. And she can tell it like it is. And like Denise, she has been disappointed in Lipsa. What we are seeing is what we are getting. I am just worried she is being too Team Kyle. TEDDI Camille said this last season. She always just have to step in it. You transparent, weak sauce, insecure chick. If you don't get off my screen with that weaksauce wish-you-were-bad mess. How dare she think she can come for Denise and STILL want to get mad at Dorit. Guess what? Dorit is RIGHT. And I don't like Dorit so what does that say about your basic stringy hair a$$. Just girl gone. And THEN you going to try to come for Denise next week. I liked she checked you. And I hope she read you before she stormed off. And I do mean REEEEEEEEEADDD. Weak piece of... DENISE. Continues to be one of the realest. And we know I LOVED seeing her at B&B with Katrina, Thorstan, and Katherine. Looking glamourous. Living her life. These other girls...are just jealous. They wished they had that and the surprisingly normal family life. Like they are still setting up what is to come...it has been a nice slow burn. I just need that heffa in Kyle's butt off my screen.

And they will be back this coming Sunday when LA goes down to New Orleans. I didn't see her, but I could have swore I heard Heavenly in one of the commericals for the episode, too.

See? From what I can tell...not all of the new blood was flops. It was more that the intriguing ones did not get a lot of screen time. Like Danica and her relationship with OtherBrett. After the threesome talk, I am curious. Charli and her anti-Jax-ness and how she keeps shading him has been a hoot. Why? NO ONE really stands up to him anymore before this season. It's not the same when its a friend/frienemy versus someone on the outside that can dislike you and not have on the kid gloves because Jax does need to be dragged (btw, thank you Ariana. ) I have really enjoyed Raquel giving it to Lala this season and STILL being her innocent and sweet self which apparently might be real. I loved the message she did online in RL at the start of zombie apocalypse, telling people that it is important to wear masks and giving tips on how to help and being a selfless person. So she won a fan in me. That Lala apparently disliked her so much that she also did an online post that came across as selfish I found telling. But it seem like the real way to bring Lala back down to earth might be a rivalry and it seem like even more than with miniScheana, they were setting that up with Danica and Danica doesn't seem to mind playing dirty so I wouldn't mind her calling Lala out with her fakeness. I agree about Katie. I do like that she appears to become a normal person away from Stassi and I admit I liked her realistic reaction to the police prank...especially in light of recent events here in the U.S. If only she was like this more often. Speaking of real life and her, apparently Kristen has done a movie or something and Katie appears to be credited with the music on it. Where was the story behind THAT? Schana's video and the drama with that editor who was giving her a bad edit because Scheana didn't befriend her. So NONE of Scheana's life this season was on air. And apparently she went through a LOT this season (her eggs, that video, finding her new boyfriend, promoting). I admit when she revealed her family connection to that old ladies baseball team (A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN--and that Madonna ballad that came from it--a favorite movie of mine) was a happy surprise. It was like she had...dare I say it?...shades/layers. And where has this person been for the last few years. That it seems well timed to what is going on the NY ladies being introspective...I would have liked to see more of it. I've heard IRL that while Scheana seems to want attention...that she is an actual nice person so guilty while I feel...I didn't to subscribe to her YT channel due to that. I agree...I would like to see more of what they are doing outside the show ON THE SHOW. They used to be that way in Season 1 and it's sad that was lost...could you imagine? THey are in LA to make it and working at the restaurant and we could see them struggle and the drama that came with it as LVP shepherds them. Wow. I was not expecting to write a lot. LOL!!! I agree. If there is a next season, focus on the real life and the expansion of Tom Tom with LVP's help. Happy for Stassi, but I'm wedding-out-ed.

*Jaw drops*

BH HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I KNEW DENISE WOULD GET FILMED WHILE AT B&B!!! KATHERINE KELLY LANG IN THE HOUSE!!! Kyle...STAY PRESSED.

ATL I'll say the same thing I said on my FB page...if some of what Yoyo was not true, why would 1) Nene send a cease and desist 2)had a lawyer now aka Michael and 3) the damage control Nene tried to do by releasing the text messages before the reunion online...which her comments (cuz we know she commented) suspiciously absent? Also what I said...I get that Tanya was mad about the Cookie Lady and she should not forget about it by any means...in fact, keep watching yourself. But I will say the same. What Kenya did has colored Tanya's personality on the show and it's not a good look for someone who is bubbly and light. Here Kenya...and everyone else actually...have been unbothered. It happened. Okay. I did this. You did that. Moving on. But Tanya seems like she is STILL at that table, revealing a darker side to her because she CAN'T LET IT GO. So much so I am going to need her to either shut up or get dragged over the fact she is actually keeping it going...you know...what everyone is accusing Kenya of doing with this Nene feud. That said...This reunion part was unneeded. Part 2 was okay because Kandi and Kenya got Nene all the way together, but this...meh. KENYA. Queen. To me...even when people came for her and appeared to win in their fights, she seem unbothered throughout. And that just made them more mad. So she won. Her reads of Nene were priceless. From the WHITE CHICKS read to the reverse psychology of Nene you ugly read (you know, what Nene had been using on her all season to find...Kenya on ready) was flawless. Why? Because even when Nene attempted to clap back...Kenya was not fazed...which made Nene lose it...setting Nene up perfectly for Kandi to destroy her with her success. It was like they systematically took her apart with a page from the Claudia Jordan playbook. PORSHA. It took two seasons for me to like her and her having one scene for me to not like her again. She also had great funny moments this reunion, but I'm no longer in her corner. So if (when) Nene hurts her again, it will be her fault. I am also sad that it appears the Porsha/Kenya friendship is over. And I liked that so I'm sad. CYNTHIA. Has been the voice of reason. But since Kandi is being fair with everyone...now would be the perfect time for her to go. Or...I want to say I read it here, she gets phased out midseason with her wedding a la THE HILLS Lauren Conrad in her last season next season. She has her happy ending because it seems done. KANDI. I agree. Definitely the Queen as of now. With more to come and her win on THE MASKED SINGER. There is probably a lot to milk still from a Kandi/Nene feud if Nene goes low enough again that Season 6 Kandi pops out. But we don't want this to get like LOVE AND HIP HOP lol. Though Nene could use a butt whooping. Next season she could be the chill voice of reason that Cynthia has been. EVA. I was rooting for you. But I think it's time for her to go as well. Again...interesting Mike is representing YoYo. Why. Hmmmm NENE. I said it. It seems like others agree. Bravo does not have to do anything because Nene is hanging herself. If she does not learn humility she will be the next OG to be run away from the show she built...leaving Teresa and Ramona at this point? This reunion was a bad look for her especially since she was telling everyone to bring their A game. THEY DID. And all she did was running away like a basic bitca. I take that back, other than making sure Eva don't keep that peach by reading her, that was it for Nene. Going forward, this show definitely needs a reboot a la Kenya/Porsha Season 5. But who could they find to take the show in a fresh fun messy direction like those two did and STILL keep the chemistry that made RHOA great to watch? BH I am very curious to see where (promos aside) Lipsa lands after tonight's episode. Especially given that car ride with her, Denise, and Garcelle (and we know Erika gets along with two of them). It really does feel like that Kyle takedown has been on its way to happening. Not like I theorized by Lipsa (yet), but by people she is good friends with. With she land that way...probably not. but it has been interesting to watch. And I admit...I have actually liked this season so far. NOW they are doing the Season 5 RHOA approach and it appears to be working (add on Sutton who really got the ball going). That said... KYLE. I shouldn't be so excited to see her fall, but I am. With LVP gone, like what a lot of you said, Season 1 Kyle is back...thinking she was okay to be mean again only to be called out on it. And I've been living for it. Given that she is a producer (and it is legal to do it in California), I think it is interesting that they are showing her man being stoned all the time. Hmmm...was Brandi right all along? Or better yet...was ALISON right all along? Given how she feels about appearance, I find that Kyle being showed in a bad light NOW curious. Did she finally fall foul of the other producers and they are GO-ing her out? Time will tell. ERIKA. I like that she is opening up. She is definitely going for a redemptive arc. And she just might pull it off. LIPSA. 'shall we now talk about the husband?' All that obsessing over LVP. Has it drove Larry Hamlin away? Doesn't really look like she is doing anything really except stirring the pot. That was to be expected. She wants that crown and getting it is just what she will TRY to do. TEDDI. She is trying sooooooooooooo hard to stay relevant. I guess I could give her credit for that. If Shady Phae Phae and Kandi can do it, so can she. Eva, TAKE NOTE. Or is that too late. lol. DENISE. She is DENISE FRAKKING RICHARDS. Other than showing her claws, she has not changed at all from last season...which is refreshing in a second season. However, it does seem they are all coming after her for what she said at the party about the kids a few episodes back. I think she is going to get them all together though and I have enjoyed watching her. And will continue to do so because A face like that is someone who you don't mess with. GARCELLE. Good addition so far. And I love she appears to be doing a OC Lizzie on Kyle. Who knows we might get a showdown a la Bali with her and Kyle if we play our cards right (or RHOV Jody takedown from Season 1).

LOL.

Yeah. Sheangela gets best progression award for how far she has come.
