Well, this is what Colin Egglesfield a.k.a. Josh from AMC is up to: getting arrested for disorderly conduct in Arizona. Mugshot at link.

Interesting. Bravo did put RHONY behind RHOA this past Sunday for sampling, and it only managed around 1 million viewers out of an almost 4 million viewer lead-in.

Yeah, Luann's absence has been deeply felt, by me, at least. I love to hate her.

I adore Heather (although admittedly she's been a little grating). Can't wait for "You wanna deck me, honey? You might want to stand up straight. You wanna deck me? DECK me."

I wonder if they hired extra security for the NJ reunions, since that franchise set the precedent for actual physical violence (the Joes, Teresa, etc.) I can't help but feel a bit sad about this, though. Will we see security lurking around the perimeter of the set at all ATL reunions? It's a bad look for the only black franchise.

I want to see how it plays out, and if it completely overshadows the other conflicts we wanted to see resolved this season. (Phaedra must be thrilled, for many reasons.) Given the coverage the fight is getting, Bravo is guaranteed big ratings for it.

Not that it's that much more of a reliable source, but US Weekly is confirming the physical altercation between Porsha and Kenya:

Not a bad mugshot. Nene was quite striking in profile.

Apparently, she was nominated for playing Heather on GH in the early '80s, but I think her other noms were for Gina. Never did care for her as Janet and don't like what I see as Heather (which, granted, isn't very much). But she seems born to play Gina.

I'm struck by how sexy Justin Deas is in the clips I've seen of SB. He was like an anti-aphrodisiac on GL. And yeah, chemistry out the wazoo with Mattson (another actress I've found problematic in other roles).

Oy. With this her messy behavior on this trip, Kenya has totally lost any audience goodwill she's gained this season. Shame.

Apollo's body is on point. Too bad he's a nutcase and a lowlife.

Some parts of the episode were just laughable bad like Amanda stabbing her rapist in broad daylight and him just walking off cussing.

Oh that was a mess. Was he playing that for comedy?

Wow, good for them! I haven't watched the finale yet, but I watched Tyler's talk show with the cast. The cast looks fun. Sad that Benny is indeed dead, haha. No more eye candy. But jeez louise, Tyler Perry sure does love himself! There's something about him that just irks me. It's like, if the conversation veers too far off course where someone isn't praising his brilliance, he has to reel them back in.

Wait, Benny is actually dead? I thought Katheryn just put him in a different hospital. There was a lot of sloppiness in terms of continuity.

I thought the last scene between Jim and Candace was really well done acting-wise, but that scene with Candace bringing everyone in the room and extorting the Cryers was laughably awful. I've never seen a show that can veer from brilliance to ghastly incompetence within one episode, but that's TP for you.

I liked Tovey on Being Human a lot and wanted to see him play gay, but I don't find him physically appealing, which I know seems like an odd contradiction. And I have an often visceral repulsion to what the Patrick/Kevin relationship represents.

The actual sex was too skeevy and uncomfortable to be hot for me. Patrick looked like he was suffering through it.

I can't help but feel a bit of schadenfreude for the Kevin/Patrick shippers. A lot of them were saying that Kevin was better for Patrick for the most superficial of reasons (they share the same race/class/social status), even though we knew very little about Kevin as a character. (Meanwhile, we knew a great deal about Richie.) Now we have confirmation that Kevin is a total sleazeball, and it's great.

I had been spoiled on the Patrick/Kevin sex scene, so I was surprised that HBO didn't include a warning for sexual content or nudity for this episode.

I have problems with the dialogue on this show. The scene in which Patrick and Agustin talk about Richie and Patrick says he "could spend all day licking Richie's armpit" didn't ring true and seemed like a failed attempt at SATC-esque dish. It seemed silly, especially given Patrick's complicated feelings for Richie.

Has there been a husband on a franchise who's been as desperate for airtime as Peter? Maybe Simon from RHONY or Joe Gorga from RHONJ. But Peter inserts himself in places where he has no business AT ALL, like this Kordell/Porsha stuff. Plus, he's the main reason why the Pillow Talk escalated into violence both with Brandon/Apollo and with Kandi/Todd.

Forgot Slade from OC.

Not only did the scene show how sleazy and manipulative Kevin is and how desperate Patrick is for validation, but I just find Russell Tovey repulsive. Blech. I wonder where they'll go with the Kevin character now that Tovey is a series regular. The show clearly wants us to prefer Richie, so I'm wondering if Kevin will go full villain (well, as much as a show this naturalistic will allow).

I'm sorry, but I was grossed out by that sex scene.

Kevin is creepy.

I find it interesting that few have brought up that what Kevin did could have the appearance of sexual harassment, even if it occurred outside the workplace. After all, Kevin is Patrick's BOSS, and what he did was extremely unprofessional. Boss/subordinate relationships rarely end well, and I can see Patrick being slightly weirded out by a drunken kiss from his supervisor, even if they had some intense flirtations. I know I could never date a boss.

Happy that Patrick had the presence of mind to reject Kevin's drunken advances.

Julia Duffy looks fantastic.

Glad to see this. There seemed to be a lot of haters who wanted the show to fail.

I hope TP isn't dumb enough to kill off Candace, even though it seems obvious this show is building to a whodunit. He'll probably attempt a "Who Shot JR?" type of story.

Looking hit a series high with Sunday's episode. Hopefully, they'll announce a Season 2 renewal soon:

I watched this week. So much of this show is laughably amateurish, but then Veronica pulls out a line like, "Jeffrey, you have brought trash to the table." I hollered.

I loved last night's episode. It struck so many notes of identification for me - I've had similar conversations with would-be lovers in my day. And it's now more understandable how Patrick, a decent-looking thirtysomething in SF, has had so little experience. He's an "ex-fattie," and has deep-seated body and insecurity issues. Plus, his conservative upbringing has an impact. Those things, plus workaholism, can do a number on you for years.

I thought Augustin was hot in the first episode, but the show has done a good job at killing my attraction to him. He's a prick.

Kenya's not good verbally. She's better at getting attention and selling an image of herself. She also has nothing to lose, so that makes her behavior on the show more balls to the wall than someone like Sheree or Kim.

Nene will likely flay her alive on reunion night and we will hear that this is Nene's big comeback, etc. For now, Kenya's on her home court, and Nene is damaging herself, with some help from Kenya.

I think the problem is Nene doesn't want to be there and she feels she shouldn't have to be there. She can't hide it. And it's eating her alive.

Yep. Kenya kills in her THs because she has time to prep, but on her feet, she's out of her element. Marlo, on the other hand, could go toe-to-toe.

I've been done with Nene for a while, and it's a shame because she has more natural charisma than any other RH. But she is surpassing Jill Zarin levels of delusion right now.
