That was by far the worst Snatch Game ever. And to think Latrice Royale was embarrassed for her season!

Okay my phone is acting goofy. But my thot thought is that whatever Eli is offering, I’m taking 😂

Sadly, I *wish* DAYS had the quality (and quantity) of sets Y&R does. At least Y&R still has space to work with. DAYS gives claustrophobia.

This fella has also modeled for a lot of different jock straps... I'm just sayin'

ITA with the "auto pilot" remark. The remaining 4 had a bump around 2012-2014 with the loss of four long-time shows, but now it's a slow decline yet still steady enough to sustain for some years ahead. None of the four remaining shows will try anything innovative and groundbreaking at this point. It's just wash, rinse, repeat. Keep it simple; keep it budget-friendly. Keep it alive; keep everyone employed. Did ANY of us think in 2011 that both Days of Our Lives and General Hospital would be around in 2021? We even thought Y&R and B&B would be gone by 2020. Meanwhile, you had the AMC & OLTL Hulu reboots fizzle out just a couple years before Hulu, Netflix, streaming went BOOM. It's hard to predict in this day and age how television will evolve, where people are cutting cable cords, picking 'n choosing which streaming services they want, etc.

Thank you! I was wondering the same thing. Jackie's analogy cut to the core because Teresa's unfounded rumors cut to Jackie's core. Teresa is too uneducated and dumb to understand an analogy. Instead she flies off the handle and complains "she's tawwkin' about my daugherter!" It is NOT Jackie's fault that Teresa is dumber than a box of rocks. This is just like when Eileen Davidson made a stink about Vanderpump asking how she and her hubby got together (ED had an affair, right? I can't remember). Eileen made a big stink of it and and it aired over multiple episodes, when she easily could've let the comment fly away in the breeze and there'd be no additional footage for the show to milk. New Jersey is good to watch now, but this group also highlights how they're all just castmembers forced to hang out with one another while the cameras are rolling. Yes, Melissa and Tre are sis-in-laws; yes, Dolores is friends with Teresa. But beyond that, I don't think Teresa is really friends with Margaret anymore. Jennifer and Jackie are in their own islands. I don't think they've formulated genuine friendships with anyone in the cast. In the first episode, I think it was Melissa who said she hadn't seen Jennifer since they sat on the sofas together at the reunion. @Cat Yes, Marge's face is a bit much. I'm always adjusting my eyes trying to see the original face under there somewhere. I can understand wanting to do away with the oncoming jowls, but everything else that got lifted is a bit dramatic. The boobs are nice, but I feel like if you're gonna have a tight face and tight tits, you better get the rest of your body tight too (i.e. the arms are flapping everywhere, etc.) or else the body work done is all the more noticeable. BH: Dorit looks unrecognizable in those photos. She needs to stop. Her, Rinna, and Erika aspire to look like blowup sex dolls. NYC: I think Dorinda needed a year off. Maybe the show will suffer without her, as this is definitely a rebuilding year, but for her own sake, she needed time to rest and simmer down.

Dang, how quickly that show fell from being the network's ratings darling of the 70's.

Gasp! For me, in terms of the long-running shows, it was General Hospital. It just never drew me in, at least never in their mobster era which has been the majority of its last 25+ years. Other notable mentions of my time: Passions and Sunset Beach. They were never anything I could see myself really caring about and watching long-term. Admittedly, I found myself more interested in Port Charles when they started the Tainted Love vampire story arc, as some of their couplings became more intriguing, but again, their momentum (if they had any) would've burned themselves out quickly and I never watched full-time.

This is the first time I've heard of any Housewives All-Stars! Fun concept, but sadly the roster is not surprising. These are all the Andy Cohen kiss-ups (well, I wouldn't include Cynthia so much, but) that will stay on these shows until they sink. And it's dumb not to include women from some of the less popular/less known series for exposure. Also, no one from OC? Clearly they're still strategizing and figuring out who will be around next season... SLC: The ending was nice. Nothing bombastic (other than Jen's walk-off), but nice. I'm still not ready to give up on Team Heather. Clearly, stuff has gone down since they wrapped filming way back when in pre-COVID March 2020. There's all the animosity towards Lisa and Jen, and hope that Meredith would back her up and co-sign. Maybe I'll be wrong and Heather will get the second season curse, but I'm not ready to write her off.

Started Bridgerton on Monday... I will continue on this week

I would love for DAYS' catalog of music from the mid-90's to be released somewhere, if only on YouTube.

Ah yes of course, one has to consider delayed viewing nowadays. After all, we certainly don't watch anything live anymore except the news (sometimes). Everything is recorded and if it's something we're watching right away, let the first half record and then begin watching so we can speed past commercials.

Definitely. We came to that decision. If things change and she cuts the cord from him and reaches out to us, I'm open to communication.

Really? What are they normally pulling in nowadays? I see on Showbuzz Daily their total viewership at 1.4 million. That's actually kinda sad. I didn't realize their highest rated Housewives (or second highest, if Beverly Hills is No. 1 now) are a far cry away from even 2 million anymore... If Housewives are modern day Soap Operas, they've hit the late 90's/early 00's era.

One was spotted in Iowa apparently, haha. I remember John said that line because I wondered too. It was soon after the clones were released into the world. No word ever since. Sounds like something Carlivati could dig up and use present-day.

Sorry I missed this earlier No, we haven't corresponded with her for the past couple months, aside from a "like" here 'n there on Instagram. She'll occasionally comment on my stuff. Meanwhile, she's actually on a never-ending vacation around the USA via his RV. They're always posting about doing something somewhere in the southern states: She, him, and his gaggle of friends, almost all of them women. When I see her postings, there's a lack of light in her eyes; seemingly soulless or just sleep deprived. Whatever fun lil' narcotics they're taking are keeping them skinny but are slowly wearing them out. One time, she reached out to our mutual girlfriend to catch up, and at one point, Diana sighed and admitted, "I'm tired..." but it didn't seem like just a casual mention of just being tired, you know? A few months ago around Christmastime, Carlo posted a long, long lengthy post about his "tribe" and how you make your own family and whatnot. I could post it here. I still have yet to read it. Also a couple months back, Carlo reached out to my hubby via social media as kind of a general catchup and was bragging about something random he just bought, but my hubby didn't respond. As my hubby is considered the Queen Bee/Regina George (haha) of the group, no doubt Diana and Carlo were discussing all of us and wanted to put feelers out by reaching out to my hubby since hubby had stopped responding to Diana. We'll see what happens as we get closer to the summertime and they're finally back home...

Talk about an unnecessary save, yet for some reason I saw it coming.

I normally don't watch these types of shows with castmembers watching and reacting, but I'm totally watching this one with the Grande Dame & Ashley. Boy, have they come a long way!

Wow, good for her! Has she even been on Y&R lately? They're starting to rotate characters/stories in intervals like DAYS does.

Agreed; that was OTT. I cringed.

To this day, I still think Joe and Melissa got off easy. I really wanted the tea to spill when Danielle Staub rejoined the show.... Danielle: "Did you acknowledge your nephew....?" Teresa: "I wanna know who she's been tawwwking to!" That juicy Season 2 reunion revelation that was never thoroughly dissected. Thirsty Joe & Melissa wanting Tre's fame and fortune, promising Bravo dirt, and they never got called out adequately. WOW, I love the 4th wall completely crumbling. It's great they don't put up a façade any longer. I can only wish they'd go back and re-edit and re-release Housewives shows of the early years and let us see the 4th wall footage (i.e. Kelly's Scary Island breakdown on RHONY; all the hush-hush coverups of Kim's drinking and Taylor being abused on RHOBH, etc. etc.)

I. LOVE. THIS. LOL The narrator.... "Maria's life is straight up diarrhea."

I have questions, lol. Can someone translate? One overly dramatic scene I can recall was during DAYS' Serial Killer debacle of 2004 where Julie was dry heaving in grief over the news of Alice's passing. Susan Seaforth-Hayes was really hamming it up during this era, along with all the Julie/Bonnie/Mickey scenes...

That would be lovely

I'm late to the party... where does one view all these?
