Potomac is really holding its own on a tough ratings night. (And a lot of black folks were watching the Gladys/Patti Verzuz.)

Who’s watching Rafa/PCB? The Spaniards always lay down for Nadal, but I’m hearing he’s looking crazy dominant.

I admire her chutzpah as a businesswoman, but nice try, Leah. 

Krajinovic thwarted a Djokovic/Cecchinato rematch by beating Marco.

Sinner just got a good scalp...

I'll add in a vote for Mark Valley, though I don't think he'd return to daytime unless the roles were completely dried up in primetime (and with COVID, maybe a yearlong stint would be right up his alley!) 

 

I wonder about that! People whom we assume wouldn’t return to daytime (within reason) might be open to it with other productions slowing down or not hiring as many people? I know a lot of productions are restarting or have restarted...

Just an odd coincidence that these three Asian celebrities all died within three days of each other at the same age:

when what mess happened?

The Candace Owens stuff and resulting shady tweets from her co-stars.

Muguruza beat Sloane and gets... Coco... in Rome.

Oh, I agree about Hunt Block.  Can't stand the way he talks.  Awful!  However, I'd give my left tit if MA were to never play Jack again!  

I like Matt Ashford. But I did like Mark Valley’s a lot too, so I don’t think he’s unrecastable. But if MA’s around, I’d always prefer him. I don’t feel the same way about Missy, who used to be luminous and just... isn’t anymore, which isn’t a knock on her looks but more on her energy and vibe.

Musetti just took out Stan in Rome.

Can’t stand him.

Waiting for news that Matthew Ashford has been fired again and recast with Hunt Block.

Don’t even put that in the universe... lol

I am living for her defiance. Like she said in that Hyperice commercial (that ran throughout the Open), “If our humanity makes you uncomfortable, get used to it.”

Personally, I feel the season was very mediocre. I do think Leah was overhyped and that people mostly liked her because she was younger and New York needs younger voices with the cast being mostly 55+. Now when it comes to a raise, I’m curious what she wants. I could see doubling her salary being fair or maybe going to $150,000, but that’s it. If they have to lose her I don’t think it would be the end of the world. 

I liked Leah, but bye sis. You’re a dime a dozen in this town.

anti-Peter antics.

Forgot about that! Can we pretty please bring back Jason Brooks and torch that bridge with Missy forever? 

These shows had better stop teasing us with better temps than the OGs (à la Lindsay Hartley replacing Kelly Monaco on GH).

I agree that they are trying (and failing) with Chelsea/Adam/Sharon/Rey, plus with Billy/Alyssa scheming against Adam. But this show just feels like it’s in a period of transition with no end in sight. No momentum. Everything feels like a glorified C- or D-story (with no peaking A-story), and they are hoping viewers have the patience to sit through all of this. And these writers aren’t Claire Labine. And the characters don’t really pop. The conversations feel incredibly plot-driven yet there’s not really that much plot to speak of.

I just wonder, in Bravo’s very public quest to be more racially inclusive with its series, if Garcelle will be bringing along one of her friends into the mix. That would be ideal. But who knows with Sutton a full HW possibility and the desire to bring in a big star like Denise...

Didn’t someone suggest Cady to replace her?

People probably tuned in out of curiosity.

That’s my guess too. Between Tyra and the cast... not sure much from last night will inspire people to keep tuning in, though. We shall see. The pre-premiere marketing did its job, and now the show has to do a lot of the work itself.
