As well you should. Tacky AF.

I love it. And the Carvers? In this day and age, are there any hit primetime soaps on network TV? It seems the only ones that last are procedurals.

@Taoboi @Gray Bunny Oh my...

That's a lot of sassy head movement for someone who's so anti-gay. In other news: TUCKER CARLSON OUT AT FOX NEWS! No goodbye; his final airdate was Friday.

I would’ve put Dolores between Margaret and Rachel.

She's bland. The actress isn't bad per se, but she also isn't... good. Some actors have natural charisma right off the bat (i.e. Jada, Talia, in my opinion) and others don't. Marci Miller didn't WOW me at the beginning when she took over as Abigail, but I grew to appreciate her and her work improved and she showed more of a spark eventually.

Awww.. love it!

LOL. Brandon Beemer's head thrown in there seems random.

They could've brought back Marie Horton years ago. Maree Cheatham had (has?) been actively acting all this time.

I agree, it's an intense hour to watch. Though I will say both Danielle and Rachel have turned out to be pretty good additions to the cast. I think if Danielle gets a 2nd season, she'll either have watched herself and tone it down or ramp it up to become the next Teresa. I think Rachel is pretty level-headed and sensible, which is a needed character in this group (much like Dolores). Watching a recent WWHL with Jersey as the focus, when they speak of the endless nasty feud, you can just tell this is the final showdown of Teresa vs. Melissa/Joe. There's just no moving forward with them. One side has gotta go next year. Their parents are rolling in their graves; all this over reality television.

I think it's the same reason why Rinna turned into Rinnzilla. The Housewives landscape has changed, and it's a game of Survivor now; hence all these marriage infidelity rumors on Potomac, and Rinna's endless nasty behavior towards castmates (Kim, Yolanda, DENISE!, Kathy) Not gonna lie, I still like Margaret overall. And Dolores is more of a needed tentpole character than people realize; especially this year as she bridges the gap between both sides.

This brings me to an issue that I hope/had hoped could be alleviated once the Peacock money came in. Since so many people bounce from house to house or hotel room to hotel room, no one has any STUFF. That apartment that the youngsters are now sharing started out as Eric's, then went to Nicole, then Ali, and now the kiddos, with various people temporarily living there in between (Rex, Chanel, etc.) yet the furniture stays the same. Maybe they'll change up some décor (they removed Eric's adventures in Africa framed photos off the walls) but it's basically the same. Like, who owns that couch? The kitchen table? The dishes inside the cabinet? I point this out because it makes these marriage break-ups and relationship break-ups seem too easy-breazy when people have moved in with one another. Nicole had her own apartment with Eric, then on her own, then moved into Rafe's house (well, kitchen, but apparently there's a house beyond the magic hallway), and is now at Casa de DiMera, with nary an end table to call her own.

LOL. Remember the Reilly years (particularly the disappointing 2.0 era of '03-'06) when characters would literally pivot, turn their body to the side, and enjoy their flashback moment before turning back and rejoining the conversation. Jan Spears in particular comes to mind in those days. Agreed; especially since casual sex has been the name of the game on DAYS for quite some time now for the under 50 crowd. The stalwart supercouples of the 80's era can still play out the epic love stories and against-all-odds angst, but everyone else can sample a bit here 'n there before settling down on one conquest. BOGO sale at Old Navy.

It does suck and Fox News knew if those hogs took the stand and if there were weeks long debates, with text messages, emails, phone calls, etc. deliberated, it would've exposed the public to all their deplorable actions and deliberate lying, and it would chip away at their viewer base their viewers' faith in them. And to top it off, they don't even have to issue an on-air admission of guilt.

I'm sure if Eileen signed a long-term contract, they'd drop Stacy like a hot potato. (with an occasional pop-up, like the two Becky's on Roseanne, cuz campy wink-wink nudges to the audience is what Ron loves)

Alright folks and my fellow Housewives fans, I'm finally ready to dive into this show. LOL. Do I start at Season 1 and binge or does it start off slowly?

Ditto. As I just wrote in another thread, if it's not Eileen making a pop-up visit (since it seems we'll never get her again long-term), then don't bother anymore. Jamey & Ron's writing is exactly what I'd expect: two older gay men who are out of touch with the younger generation, and so their puns, one-liners, and stereotypes are 20 years outdated. It's like they're two heterosexual males from 2003 writing a Queer As Folk fan fiction. I just hope they're not still trying to squeeze into their old circuit gear.

There are so many here (myself included) who appreciate your work, your efforts, and your commitment to keeping this online soap community going.

Reading your sense of humor... it's like "looking" in a mirror. lol. I haven't gotten to the Talia twist yet, but I like the actress. I like the actress who plays Jada too. The writers' efforts to let us get to know new characters are severely lacking, but these two have that certain spark and are capable actresses; certainly stronger than the hair model/Onlyfans performer playing Sloane.

In all honesty IMO, anything Kristen related with Haiduk in the role falls flat. The character is just too manic and played out with her in the role as a mostly laughable villainess. If they can't get Eileen, even as only temporary guest spots, keep her off-screen permanently.

Lumberjack Johnny might be a kink for him.

Absolutely. What a total waste of a castmember. Has she even appeared on WWHL or done much press for this UGT? If she was traumatized by the RHONY S13 fan reaction to her, she'll be catatonic after this.

Hey, a check's a check. Even if it's scale at this point

Some days, this show is like a parody of a soap opera. Thank goodness soaps no longer have any relevancy in pop culture or else they'd be crucified on the late show circuit.

Agreed. Let Brooke be a ho again, but a classy MILF/GILF ho who doesn't want to settle down again. Eventually the wagon will circle back to tired ol' Ridge, but let her enjoy her last good years.
