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.

Not a shock:

I wonder if Garcelle had any conditions (that would materially change what we see on screen, to be specific) for her return (need to listen to that). 

Premiere ratings up 30 percent from last season (and highest since 2017):

Nelly is still sexy but man is he stiff...

The dialogue is weak, dry, generic, and expository. If you’re not going to be telling grand stories or creating visual interest, at least make me laugh or something. Give me some rich character insights. I felt the same about Sussman’s stint. If you’re going to spin wheels, at least make add some razzle dazzle. DAYS (which isn’t fabulous by any means) currently does it far better than Y&R.

I hate Ms. Banks already lol. So phony and self-absorbed.

With Brandi claiming Heather Locklear received a cease and desist from Denise, I’m seeing more of those rumors of Heather joining BH (hinted at in this CD&N blind item). Heather reportedly hates Denise for hooking up with Richie Sambora right after (or before?) he and Heather divorced. I can imagine that Bravo would love to stick it to Denise by replacing her with an adversary who is an even bigger star. But with Heather’s personal problems, the last thing she needs is BH’s toxicity.

Right. The final 7 seconds of next week's episode will be the screen going black, somebody shouting "No no no!" and Karen going "MO-NIQUE!!!!"

The previews for this season’s Potomac have been persistently showing stuff happening two and even three episodes later. The show’s highly watchable, of course, so it’s not *that* annoying, but still...
