@Gray Bunny IA.Monica definitely left her mark. This is the most buzz the show has gotten ever. It rivaled the Scandoval mess from VPR last year especially since this has never happened

Tamra said on Twitter that Heather's lie resulted in an investigation and that someone could've lost their job. Carlos King said the same thing last night. 

The plus side of it all is that Heather has now made an enemy of production going forward. Trust and believe that are going to get their lick back. I expect to hear a Heather takedown sometime next season. And I bet top dollar that her "good friend" Lisa and Whitney will lead the charge. 

I hope so.  I hope they give her an ugly edit.

On a related note, it looks like the door isnt closed on Monica.

After the explosive finale and three-part reunion to The Real Housewives of Salt Laky City, it would seem that Monica Garcia is out of the franchise.

 

But, not so fast.

The Bravo reality series and Garcia are taking a break — a “cooling off period,” Andy Cohen clarified on Wednesday. Which means the door for her return is still open, a source confirms to The Hollywood Reporter.

Speaking on his Radio Andy show the morning after season four concluded with the third and final reunion show, the executive and reunion host said of Garcia’s current status with the show: “We are going to have a cooling off period, I think.”
When pressed by his co-host John Hill about what a “cooling off period” means, Cohen explained that the women are currently not in a position to forgive Garcia, which makes it unlikely they would film with her again. Complicating things are the fact that season five picks up it cameras soon, with production starting Feb. 5.

However, he didn’t totally shut the door.

“Well, here’s the thing. I think the reunion is the chance to come out, say why you did [and] what you didn’t on the season. It’s the Supreme Court of public opinion,” said Cohen of what Garcia did not accomplish by the end of the cast get-together. “So Monica I think had the opportunity, not only to explain herself to the audience, but way more importantly in this case, to the other women. And I don’t think she successfully swayed any of them to her side.”

He continued, “She didn’t. And at the end, I really went around, because I was thinking, ‘Ok, well let’s hear it from them all right now: Where do you stand with her?’ And they all expressed they very much don’t trust her. What I was also asking was: Is there a path forward for you and Monica? And the answer was no all around. So I think that it’s best — we all discussed it ad nauseam — that it would be best to let this one breathe for a while.”

Then he noted the possibility she could return: “She’s obviously really compelling television. Maybe she’ll be able to build some inroads with the women on her own, off camera. And we’ll see if that happens.”

Garcia, who joined the cast in season four, was revealed to be behind a fake Instagram troll account, RealityVonTease, that targeted the other women on the cast. Castmate Heather Gay called Garcia out in the finale in a Bravo moment that has since gone viral (“Receipts! Proof! Timelines! Screenshots!”), catapulting the reality show into having a moment.


At the center of the crossroads for the both the cast and creative team with Garcia is the deception, as the producers were also unaware of Garcia being behind the account until Gay uncovered the evidence. When speaking to THR ahead of the final reunion show airing, the executive producers behind Real Housewives of Salt Lake City said they had “about 7,000 conversations” about if Garcia should return.

“We probably have another few hundred ahead of us still,” said Noah Samton, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming senior vp production. “She is a great castmember. She’s open and vulnerable and she represents a different kind of person in Salt Lake than we have on the show. She comes from a different background and there’s a lot about her that the audience can relate to in a way that’s different from the other women. But at the same time, there’s the deception, there’s the relationship with the other castmembers. It’s a really complicated puzzle. From a rating standpoint, you would want to find a way for her to come back. But it’s really challenging in this situation. We’re just trying to figure it out.”

So, never say never

 

In other news, the ICONIC Tamra Judge becomes the third housewife to make it to 14 seasons. Congratulations!

I do not understand this. How could he be 'upsot about the teased coupling of Brooke with Taylor?!!! He did it. He created it. He wrote the scenes! They chose the promos. They had non-watchers watching B&B for a few weeks to see if they were really about to do a beautiful, amazing, classic lesbian love story between 2 women who chose each other instead of Ridge. They got pissed at what he had wrought?!! Are they that crazy?! 

And, I know this to be true because I watched B&B for those weeks to see JUST IN CASE. KKL and KA were a gorgeous couple. It would've been Dynasty meets the L Word! 

Thank you for that clarification. 

WHAT!?!?!? Anyone got clips of this?

After this reunion, if Monica has to go, so does Heather. Heather flat out did the same thing as Monica. Fire that b!tch ASAP!

I would argue that hers was potentially worse. LYING that production assaulted her, covered it up and then went on a tour where she stated these false allegations is so damaging

The hags won. Monica is officially out. This show dies tonight. 

 

I saw that and hope she at least appears as a Friend of but really I have no interest in the upcoming season without her

This is a GENIUS idea. Given that Mariah has been suing Bravo or Purveyors of Pop (or both), she will be the most difficult 'get.' Nevertheless, I think she'd be integral to this entire idea. I like that there is a lot of variety in your potential cast, too.

That case was settled a while back and i think they are on decent terms now which is why they felt comfortable using her imagery in the trailer leading to the current season's debut. The details havent been released but it appears they gave her a pretty check and she retains her Executive Producer title, which is seen at the start of every episode

Now paging Dr. Tiffany. Dr. Nicole. Dr. Wendy. Annemarie, Jennifer, Nneka, Heather. MARIAH. What if they used this as the premise for an upcoming RHUGT season? Take women across the franchise that are connected to medicine either working in the field or married to someone that is? Here's my cast and reasoning

1. Dr. Nicole, RHOM - She's a fan favorite and has existing drama with Annemarie
2. Dr. Tiffany Moon, RHOD - Another fan favorite with Annemarie drama. She deserves another chance onscreen after RHOD was cancelled under her
3. Dr. Wendy Osefo, RHOP - Its a stretch bc her PhD isnt in medicine BUT I'll allow it
4. Nneka Ihim, RHOP - At first I didnt want her but she is actually married to medicine. I think it would be interesting to see her outside of the GEB's grip and if she and Wendy can actually connect under a different setting
5. Jennifer Aydin, RHONJ - Also married to medicine. She's such a ditz and will be the comic relief
6. Heather Dubrow, RHOC - Married to medicine. She uses her wealth and position as a source of power on the RHOC but I dont think that will fly with these women. Like Kyle, I think she will come across different alone and not in her city
7. Annemarie Wiley CRNA, RHOBH - Cant stand her but every show needs a villian and someone we hate. She fits the bill and Im here for Nicole clearing her to her face
8. Mariah Huq, M2M - She IS Married to Medicine. If Bravo can put Phaedra on M2M, then I dont see why they cant it Mariah on here especially since she came up with the concept. This would be a good way to pay homage to her

I've read tons of posts here saying the same, LOL.

 

Shoot, I feel the same way about Carly, Nina and Ava

I brushed up on recent GH history due to checking hte show out for Bobbie and I have to say the combination of Kiki, Willow, Nelle, Esme and Sasha confused the hell out of me. They all seem to fill the void of each other. WTF the show was just cloning the same 2 characters and blending them? I thought Sasha was a Nelle recast and thought Esme was Willow in her scenes

As weak as it was, I actually thought last night's Potomac was one of the better episode this season specifically bc there wasnt much fighting. I cant do the pettiness and stupid drama anymore. Its not fun or enjoyable

Those were "Bottle Episodes" 

Its not strange for that to happen in these type of episodes

I wouldnt call those bottle episodes as those are typically done to slow things down and limit the setting. These episodes rapidly sped things up and were all over the place; the opposite of a bottle episode. But thats besides the point. I was asking if GH does these rapid non-transitions during regular episodes

I finally watched the Bobbie memorial episodes and I was taking aback by the scene transitions or lack thereof. Does this show not use commercial breaks anymore to move from scene to scene. Here the characters would be talking about something and the very next second there is a small time jump and they are in a different setting. Was this just for these episodes or is this how the writing on GH is now?

The even "cute" line is kinda condescending.

@Cat Im with you. Her scenes with Dorit seem produced for the sake of telling the story but her scenes with Mo dont. Its cringeworthy bc Im watching two people who clearly are not in love and cant stand each other. if Kyle is guilty of something, its taking what she knows about her marriage falling apart and capitalizing on it by making it a storyline but how can she be faulted for that when she is on a reality show and thats her reality? She's not letting it come out naturally but I can appreciate her not trying to hide nad act like everything is perfect like Robyn who is in a similar situation with a husband that cant stand her, but she's ignoring it and playing dumb to the audiendce

8.5 is clapping back at ASA and production. Yeah she's so gonna be a 1 and done

Prior to this season airing, I thought Kyle's story was going to be 100% fake but seeing it play out, she is not that good of an actress. She and Mauricio cant stand each other and Im full of the belief that their separation is real and not just a "story" for the cameras. Im seeing a lack of chemistry and actual disdain for each other that I may have not picked up on before or just wasnt there. I think the moment where their marriage died was him not showing up to the event she had for her dead friend. That spoke volumes. All throughout the season, she's been giving him passive aggressive digs and he does not move like a someone that is in love with his wife. I think they are both over it. Im not too convinced on the Morgan angle but even without her in the mix, Kyle and Mo are dunzo and the only reason they'd stay married is bc it makes sense from a business/financial standpoint

this is more embarassing than what happened with Dr. Jackie. I hate to say it but I hope she loses her job. It was so inappropriate nad irresponsible to get on a platform this big and spread false medical information

SLC

 

Wait what? So they basically pulled a Mariah Huq on Mary then? 

 

Better put some respect on that name then.

 

 

thats good tea but its not a Mariah situation as Mary didnt create the show. M2M was Mariah's baby. She came up with the concept, filmed a pilot and shopped it around to different networks. She was an EP and was pushed out of her own project.  Mary was talent that was discovered

Dorinda did a podcast and spoke on SLC. She defended Monica and thinks she's great tv and needs to come back. The other ladies need to get over themselves and if they dont want to film with her, then they can leave. She also called Heather out on being a liar. IA with everything she said

It’s wild. I didn’t like Diana last season but seriously I hate Annemarie so so much more. She is aggressively the WORST.

Yeah I dislike her more bc she is such a disappointment. i never had any high hopes or expectations out of Diana. She led with claiming to be a villian so thats what she gave. I tend to automatically want to root for everyone black and wanted to support her despite the scuttle butt about her husband before the premiere, but man has she proven to be such a failure. She is beyond irritating and the worst housewife cast on this show. Worse than Carlton (whom I couldnt stand). I thought Id be siding with her over Crystal based on the trailer but nah, Cystal has my full support

My issue is that Whitney & Heather confirmed the rumor in their talking heads. So why didn't she have grief for them too? But we know why... Angie is desperate to remain on the show. 

Of course she did! She has to find her next money bag.

bc she hates Meredith and needs allies on this show. She's not as mad as she is pretending to be.

As for Larsa, the gag is she is worth way more than Marcus. He isnt as setup financially as some may think despite being Michael Jordan's son and with Larsa in the mix, I wouldnt be surpised if he changed his will to account for that were something to happen to him. Call me crazy but I actually dont think she is with Marcus for the money bc he doesnt have much to offer on that front

Yep. Reunion is done. And seating chart...

 

YES Guerdy getting first seat! I know Alexia is PISSED that yet again a black woman got seated next to Andy over her. Ha! I would swap her with Nicole though. Nicole should be near Guerdy
