I must just be thick in the head today because it's not making sense to me and I thought someone would have said something else to make it clear...but since no one has yet...I have to ask... ...so is some weird bots attacking Obama for Trump on Twitter or is that actual people trying to attack Obama for Trump on Twitter? What is this silliness that is being called Obamagate because I clearly missed something.

I'll say this much...I like how while they are not friends anymore I like that Porsha is still being civil with Kenya and vice versa.

My impression is that I am aglad I moved out of Akransas. And my sister does not work there. High ranking as in that person who should stay off Twitter taking about getting payback on another high ranking that came before him? Things to make you go hmmm

THIS. I wouldn't be so hyped myself if she had not did too much before the reunion and all her actions during the season...so very much like Wig during Season 10. And they roasted Wig and it was deserved. So guess who deserves it this reunion?

I knew once I came back from the grocery store for tonight's wine, you would have the tea. LOVE YOU. Now I have A LOT to look forward to. Sounds like Kenya came ready as expected. And Moose was not ready after all.

BH I live for Denise getting Kyle and Teddi together on Twitter. They keep starting and she stays finishing. The 'taking the ragamuffin down memory line' by showing Kylamuffin all the covers she has been on vs what has Kylamuffin has done is EVERYTHING. Bonus: Garcelle and Dorit are over there having her back. Warms my heart. NY Other than this past week episode, I am caught up. And I...am not feeling it. Well...that's not completely true. I AM feeling it. Being on Lockdown and dealing with the world's stupidity I could use an escape. And NY has that in spades. It makes me miss NYC which I was actually missing before Lockdown. Sonja really does make a bad day better. lol. I think it is taking a slow burn approach to everything but it doesn't feel very focused. I know things are coming. Dorinda with her deep issues. Leah clashing with the girls. The fallout from Tinsley's leaving. But it feels same ole, same ole. If that makes sense. I am finding that I am liking Tinsley more. Before then she was just...there. And I like Leah. I am always going to like LuAnn. I am curious if Ramona is truly lonely or is it just for the cameras. It is an interesting angle for her to go. The only one looking bad really has been Dorinda. And I love seeing Luke from LADIES OF LONDON. I am curious to see how much she is shown since she was saying they were trying to edit her out. What has changed? Hmmm Yeah. I agree that she does pop up at random for me. lol. Even though she is in the first episode.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!! @Cat Any spoilers I see on Twitter are grains of salt to me, but if true there are going to be some great one liners, an expected MVP, at minor two great reads, and starting off I won't like who is 'winning.'

BH Now that I finally got to binge it (and I'll be doing that with you tonight NY hehe), I actually want to add Kyle to the GETTING RID OF OG List. I know, shocking since she is a producer, but it does seem weird to me that all of a sudden they are showing off a high as a kite Maurico and Kyle's Season 1 better half. Majority rule of producers perhaps. And I hate to say it...but I've enjoy it so far. Of course, it could be that maybe dare I say...they are going to turn on each other. Fingers crossed. KYLE: OMG...she is clearly the only one of the coven that is getting the bad edit. And I don't mind that at all. Could it be that this is the season we get a Kyle takedown? Hmmmm LIPSA. In a Kyle vs Lipsa fight...honestly I would be Team Lipsa. I never thought I would see the day. She is still too obsessed with LVP and attempting to have a storyline through her drama which I don't like. It doesn't feel organic and I feel that is what she is trying for since the producers are now making them show their lives. Perhaps if she pulls out her Season 5 self who was tongue in cheek, but is that woman still in there. ERIKA. I admit that I have found her crying forced, but I do like that she is trying to open up. She is still being very strategic (but they all are) with finally showing her son online all of a sudden. However, I will give credit where credit is due. DORIT. Okay, I admit that I like her fashion this time around. And her TH are hilarious. But meh. TEDDI. I only mention her because she is clearing trying to 'not' be boring which is making her worse. Always trying to get Denise together online when Denise isn't studying her. So it makes me wonder how this is all going to turn out that the ladies are currently taking pot shots at Denise. DENISE. I see why you married Aaron every time I look down, but it's hard to miss. That said, I like that she is showing off her potential after all year. And they are really setting her up, but the season really seems to revolve her. No wonder the other girls are mad. GARCELLE. So far, so good. Loving her. And from what I can tell she is going to be OC Lizzie...setting back, observing...then will tell it like it is. And I love that Erika is to her what Eileen was to Erika. The beginning of a good friendship. SUTTON. As far as I am concerned, a housewife. And what is happening with the girls turning on each other is due to her also telling it like it is with the Boring One. So far, so good. Oh, saw it a moment ago. Scandalous. ETA: the tweet is gone. Darn! Hope someone has it pop up again. Meanwhile, Google is listing Michael now as Ashley ex-husband. lol.

Don't get me started. I was told by friends that is just the redneck section of San Diego (which is where I like and where this took place) and I was HEATED. I left the South to get away from bulls#$% like this.

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.

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.- Married to Medicine
