Bravo is marathoning D.C. today. A show destroyed by the very thing that was supposed to ensure its success (the notoriety of the Salahis). Sad that Cat Ommanney didn’t get cast on another franchise.

What an immersion in LML-era Y&R with Ted Shackleford, Tammy Lauren, Adrienne Frantz, lots of Judith Chapman, and Professor Korbel.

Not sure if anyone wants to watch this for a whole hour (unless you know Malay), but some nice vistas through this.

I’m very particular about goatees haha. Trust me, I would *not* have thrown him out of bed for it. And Tom/Michael’s “macho posturing” that Ashley pointed out seemed a lot more like them cruising each other.

That said, it’s sad to see what’s happened to Dorinda in recent seasons and it’s all coming to a head now. Her viciousness and cruelty are intolerable, and she can’t continue to play the dead husband card to excuse her abusive behavior.

What I love about NYC is that Ramona and Dorinda can say the most fücked-up things to each other (Ramona bringing up Richard’s death, Dorinda shading Ramona’s failed relationships). Yet there’s so much love that it all ends in a hug. It’s just a feel-good show while BH is a feel-bad show.

Klobuchar is being vetted for VP, and folks are either “meh” or pissed:

Roscoe Born was so handsome even with that ridiculous goatee.

The ghost of LVP continues to haunt BH. Not an episode goes by without a reference or flashback or voiceover...

Gotta see that full chart on Dorit. 😂

Cancers are supposed to be particularly emotionally sensitive, right? My mom and my best friends are Sag. People are using Kenya as an opportunity to drag Aquarians on Twitter lol.

Speaking of astrology (which I just find fun), Kenya and Marlo are both Aquarius (like myself). Just funny to see their Aqua-on-Aqua violence.

Are they fücking serious? They owe us Sheila, Lauren, and Molly at the farmhouse AND the lab catfight.

I hope this means they are planning a full Sheila week. Josh Morrow had a rough patch with hairstyle/facial hair combos in the 2000s.

Well Kenya knows how to cast/pick ‘em.

Yeah, that’s it! And makes it even crazier that Malcolm and Jill never had sex. Yet they brought on Sean Bridges...

I remember they had basically a whole soft-porn episode with Malcolm shirtless and eye-fücking the camera at a Jabot photo shoot. They knew what they had with him. But of course if he were white, he have banged half of Genoa City (a la Aidan on AMC) in incredibly risqué love scenes. And while I know daytime loves rape, him taking advantage of Dru when she was on cold meds was so out of the blue and disrespectful. And not really explored character-wise.

Shemar was green when he started but he had a lot of natural talent and of course charisma. He had to be himself, but even that takes skill. I loved Hope. Shame that they trashed her by making Adam such a monster.

Thankfully, CBS2 is ignoring Cuomo today.
