😁 Dolores didn't know! Lowkey looking forward to this. But Brielle SexDollFace headlining? Not when there is QUEEN Briana around! Also, Gia and the Manzo boys will be reunited again! Waking up in the morning, thinkin' 'bout so many things.... Riley, Victoria, Avery and Kairo are going to be side-eyeing Andy throughout. Brooks Marks should not be in this posse.

Thank you for your service in reporting direct from the belly of the beast! How is she not taking this seriously? I mean, as a viewer its great that she's serving looks for the audience, but it also illustrates just how influencer culture has curdled. All that matters is how you look and how many labels you flaunt. Nothing about how you are as an actual human being. Certainly nothing about the elderly people you robbed to finance a ridiculously fake influencer lifestyle. Wonder if Coach Shah will get indicted. Also the fact that she rents says to me that she cannot afford to do anything more than that. The funds she finagled could very well be already spent.

@Taoboi I hope you get to the early seasons of NY and NJ one day. I promise, you will not be disappointed. They hold up amazingly well, and in NY's case especially, are hilarious. NJ is straight up INSANE -- the hubris before the fall, with Danielle practically putting a curse on Teresa which.... well, we know how that turned out. As for this most recent NJ episode, EPISODE OF THE YEAR, lol. I am loving NJ this season and stunned Bravo did not promote this. For once, the drama was not petty BS but real life sh*t. Were there certain people acting it up? For sure. You know who they are. But who wouldn't be shaken by rumors of infidelity in a friendship group? By the Ghosts of Christenings Past? That clip of Joe Gorga screaming "YOU'RE MY FODDER" at Nonno never gets old. Not that Juicy Joe can be blamed for Nonna's death IMO. The other stuff? Sure. But he's also the FODDER of Tre's DAWTERS so she's got to maintain some relations. Team Too Much were too extra. They're not even good actresses. Melissa throwing that cheese all over the table (Frank hurriedly saving said cheese for leftovers lol). Is she auditioning for an L&O guest spot? I was cringing. Marge was way OTT and I didn't buy a second of her croc tears. She's been gossiping, so has Joe B, but im sure it wasn't super malicious. What was malicious was her trying to deflect the blame on my Jennifuh. Saying that Jennifer married her sugar daddy? I'm sure Bill had to work hard to get himself off the ground when he immigrated to the US. Is Bill Aydin supporting Jennifer's family? Her dad and brother already own and run a jewellery business! Marge stays throwing stones from her house of lawsuits. Jackie was so shook by the rumor that she almost seemed high. She was all over Evan the next day in a way which was slightly performative. He is hot though. I felt sorry for her so fragilised by the gossip, but at the same time, Tre does have a point: Jackie throws daggers and then starts crying when you confront her. Like Candiace. Jackie also has the same box of tricks when going after Teresa: jail, Joe, and how dumb she is compared to her. That sh!t was tired 2 years ago. Teresa needs to stop stomping off every time Jackie brings up prison. Everyone knows, Teresa. It's a non-event at this point. Frank, Dolores and Jennifer's reaction shots throughout were gold. Right? Even Putin and Xi were logging on with some popcorn to catch Jen Shah's arraignment lewks. I hope No-Neck Rage Monster is nervous about Jennie. And I need news on where my Mary is. In CO with the others, I hope. This Post article about Shah's rental, and the charges against her, is a good read: https://nypost.com/2021/03/31/jen-shahs-infamous-shah-ski-chalet-may-be-a-fraud-too/ @Taoboi agree about Marlo's look. Basically an ill-fitting leather bikini. Disappointing from someone usually so creative with her fashions.

OMG! What a clusterfuck. Only gif I could possibly use for this post:

SLC: So RH fans literally crashed the Zoom court hearing that Jen Shah and Stuart were on today, and it now has to be postponed. 👀🤭

Moulin Rouge dungeon theme? Porsha and Cynthia (of course) look amazing. Kenya is almost there, except for that sheer netting digging into her shoulder. I never realised Drew was short? The dress is ok but looks like Prom. I am sure Kandi will get the least likes for her outfit, but you know what? She went all-in on the theme and looks the Moulin Rouge part. She is basically the Ringmaster/Ringmistress. ETA: More reunion looks. Shamea literally IS Diana Ross.

Apparently it was a good episode of Jersey last night 🤩

It was a good episode. A nice balance of group face-off at the end, along with individual HW scenes that actually went somewhere. The Court-Kam scene was sweet, as was the D'Andra-Jeremy one. Best was Mama Dee and Tiffany, with Mama Dee being the nicest we have ever seen her -- dispensing empathetic and wise advice. The relationship is clearly solid and real between them. Then we have the doom-laden scene at Brandi's, where her feral children play dangerously with kitchen furnishings while Brandi leans into her Sads Moment. Brandi is like Kyle with her need to play victim and blame someone else for the bad stuff 'inflicted' upon her. And like Kyle, Brandi has her own Terri DiMarco bodyguard, aka Kary pushing tequila like she's looking for an endorsement deal, and jumping into an argument she knows nothing about. Meanwhile Stephanie stays studiously quiet to allow her BFF her big Actors Studio moment. Straddling the fence as always. What on earth has Stephanie brought us this season? This episode she barely appeared except as Beavis to Brandi's Butthead. D'Andra came in like "Bring it. What you got?" She knew Brandi was setting her up.

That random dude shouting about her car warranty tho 💀 Speaking of Lisa Barlow... ROLL FOOTAGE! The entire day of Tuesday March 30th will HAVE to be the focus of at least one full episode of SLC. If not two! And Whitney, Heather and Lisa were already in the van when Jen bolted. Where was Meredith? Hmmmm.

Her lifestyle made ZERO sense. Renting a half-empty ski lodge + all those people to primp her ass for hours at a time? What for? And on a football coach's salary? (And now I'm wondering what Coach Shah knew). So, I have questions: -Did the release of the footage a month ago give Jen Shah a clue that the Feds might be onto her? Or was she so wrapped in herself that she did not connect the dots? -Did the Feds leak the recording? And was it to expose the way this poor designer was getting treated ? Or to F with Jen's head as they already had all the evidence they needed? God, I have SO many questions about this undercover glam squad! The Feds were smart with this one. They knew she was vain and obsessed with her looks. I imagine a longtime RH fan within that prosecutions office suggested they go undercover as part of the glam squad. I haven't watched yet but I am pretty sure I will share your frustration. This was meant to be Brandi's apology-tour season, but I have yet to hear an actual apology from her. Brandi has confused contrition for (as @Soaplovers said) professional victimhood. Perhaps the dragging she gets on social media has obscured (in Brandi's mind) the reason why it got so bad in the first place: because she hasn't take accountability. Now she appears to have discovered her latent Chrishunanity. This sudden religious fervor is about as convincing as Tamra's. Brandi's new piety has been adopted not just to cloak her own behavior, but to target D'Andra. The other women supporting her think they are being so clever and strategic -- they are coming across so poorly. This is why Dallas reminds me of BH sometimes. The strategic targeting of somebody in order to deflect attention from yourself.

Danny Pellegrino just posted an 'emergency episode' entitled Shahrrsted.

I figured the 'money' she was dishing out on those looks was either non-existant or from shady sources, but I wasn't expecting an arrest this early in SLC's cycle! If I were Mary, I would make sure those church accounts are in tip-top shape. ETA: Omg THEY WERE FILMING

ETA!! RHONJ mid-season trailer

That was it! 👏 It was the pay raise that went to her head. That and the fact that she was treated so fantastically at her first Reunion. Bravo was obsessed with demos at that time and relieved to have found a millennial liked by the audience, so the network put its chips on Leah. This was early on in the pandemic and before the surprise hits of Garcelle, Tiffany and RHOSLC, so I wonder if Bravo feels quite the same way about Leah now. Same kind of rushed decision-making which put Kelly Dodd as the lynchpin of OC and gave Vicki & Tamra the heave-ho. I love HEY MAMA! -- even if she can get a touch preachy -- and I think many on social media feel the same. Hence today's backlash on Leah. LOL

Read it, read it! 👀 You know you want to. Actually, Leah really does not give away much. She just accuses Heather of *gasp, clutches pearls* not being truly woke. The second season curse on Leah is already happening and has been for quite some time, at least on social media. TBH, this is whetting my appetite for RHONY! I'm just bummed that Heather called her bluff and stopped filming.

Don't be sorry. Speak up, speak up!

Jesus! RHONY post #3 and it's still so early! The leaks keep on leaking! This time we got the into shot. Luann is in the middle 💅 Ramonja on the ends. Eboni looking good!

Following from the Leah leakage (!!) in the previous post, here is (allegedly) Heather's side. HEY MAMA.

RE: ATL, @Cheap21 hit on it when talking about Drew. LaToya, Fallyn and Drew all seem to be putting on an act. It makes 'the drama' which they instigate feel inauthentic. Obvs I am aware that there is scripting/production planning going on, but you can recognise real connections between some of the women. Drew seems to have ben cast according to BH procedure, i.e.: let's get a professional name actress in there who will play the game (no pun intended). RE: RHONY. Leah giving us some details (maybe too many?) on one SL this season. Looks like there will be a Who is More Woke face-off between her and Heather. Which -- judging by what Miss Mouth is implying -- Heather lost. Ramona must be gleefully watching all this from Mar-A-Lago, sipping on a Covid cocktail. 💀

How's his nose? I miss ole Dwight sometimes.

Can Marge stop attacking Jennifer for saying the damn truth? And can she stop playing victim? She wants to make Jennifer bringing up the guys' conversation the issue, when really the issue is: Marge and Joe have been talking out of turn about the Evan rumors. We can all sense that Marge is trying to cover her ass.

Those mad poetry skillz. Deep Thoughts by Jackie Goldshneider. I don't get it and I im not 100% sure Teresa did, either.

Is that soooooo? 🤭

I also teared up with the Nonno flashbacks. We have 'grown up' alongside this family. It rounded out Teresa from a one-dimensional Joisey Gorl to second generation American who had familial/cultural obligations to stay in her marriage and succeed financially. The Italian connection has always been one of the more fascinating components of RHONJ. Nonno was a factor in the Giudice-Gorga standoff we got in S3-5. Even though I hate that Teresa instigated the gossip about Evan (which was spiteful), I find myself easily Team Dolores-Teresa-Jennifer. What is it about these three together, so comfortable and relaxed? They 'get' each other. Cooking together in Dolores's kitchen (Jennifer with no make-up, Frank Catania puttering around) was the best thing ever. With Teresa + Dolores & Frank, you can tell it goes way back. It's not often that Teresa listens and is reflective like she was in that kitchen. Also in the car when Dolores was talking about how Teresa needed someone to take care of her and sweep her off her feet, Jennifer in her VT said "I wish Dolores could see what her friends deserve, she also deserves." 🥰 I love that. Team Marge-Melissa-Jackie friendship feels more superficial, like 'our kids play together/the two Joes love each other/I love your dress.' I think Melissa needs people around her who affirm her looks/amazingness on the regular. Jackie does, too. Marge knows this and obliges. Marge is smart. Sometimes I really dislike her because she is so strategic and trying not to show it. And she is targeting Jennifer (HOW DARE HA). However, like @Gray Bunny I still like her humor. I don't know if it's the pandemic and we've been in a year of, like, semi-isolation but I am really liking hot Bill Aydin ! Jackie. OK. I feel like she expected this season to go a certain way and it... didn't. She jumped on the chance to play victim and bring down Teresa. The problem is, she didn't have the back-up she expected. She set down the 'I refuse to film with Teresa!' gauntlet in an effort to edge Teresa to the periphery. Both Melissa and Marge were like "We support you, honey! We're just going to Teresa's pool party where the cameras are." Looks like Marge was talking out of turn, too. No wonder Jackie has that sour expression. She was nervous showing up at Dolores's and coming face to face with the big T-Rex! I almost felt sorry for her.

Same. I thought she'd be around forever. A larger than life yet subtle and elegant actress. Incredible in Play Misty for Me. She completely stole the show at Arrested Development.
