Jesus, take the WHEEL!

I’d be interested only if the two producer’s pets—Gizelle and Ashley—really turned on each other. They never really ever had real beef, aside from Gizelle’s distaste for Michael and them taking opposite sides on Monique. I want to see them throwing rockets at each other.

There was a podcast a few years back that talked about how many black audiences (particularly older ones) loved watching white folks act a fool on soaps because it gave them the thrill of watching the truth be exposed in the way only the intimacy and domesticity of serialized drama could really put across—they weren’t more “civilized” and “well-behaved.” And they preferred NOT to see black people involved in such scandalous stories because it appeared to confirm tawdry stereotypes. However, I feel like that has shifted over the generations. I do wonder how much LGBTQIA+ representation this will have. Tyler Perry has “embraced” it in his typically unseedy way.

Candiace is not the person I’d let go first (and she was becoming more popular with fans since the “incident”). I’d glad it appears that this is really her decision. It’s probably for the best. If Robyn goes, it balances everything out. Ashley should get her walking papers too honestly. If she had legitimately left her marriage, I’d maaaaaybe feel differently, even though I despise her. She’s obviously a producer’s favorite, but she’s so unsubtle and mercenary about her “producing.” I’m surprised, given the response here, that Mia didn’t get more attention last night. Never cared for her. She’s not entertaining to me.

Phyllis is such a loser. If this is the best they can do for her, she can go.

This Damm kid seems like a jerk:
