She was joking. She isn't a lesbian. She spoke about that scene on Entertainment Tonite a few days ago. She has a husband.

Again, the way they've handled Lee's story has been piss poor. It's been more about Mick than it has been about Lee. As someone who has dealt with depression, the show's message is a mess. I'm surprised there hasn't been a big backlash. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Lee is killed there will be. I think had DTC stayed as EP, he would've killed or written off Jay. It was obvious under his reign that he had no interest in Jay at all.

Jesus! Finn is truly becoming his mother each day. I do find it sad that Kasim's family won't accept him for who he is though. However, Finn needs to learn boundaries. His desperation to have Kasim is cringeworthy. I just hope he doesn't go pushing Kasim off a bridge in the future like his mother. Kudos to Nicola sacking Kerry's stank ass. Ugh! I am so glad that Nicola did what Rishi or Jai couldn't. Finally! Someone who has balls is in the factory.

I guess Sean O'Connor doesn't care. I wanted him to get rid of characters, but he is getting rid of the wrong ones. I was with him in sacking Ronnie and Roxy. But possibly Jay and Libby? Why? Libby isn't even full-term. She's freaking recurring. I just find the characters that this tragedy might occur to is a poor choice of people to select. Poor Lee is already depressed. Why kill him? It'd be more poignant for him to just leave and go seek help elsewhere to better himself. Poor Jay (if true) is never thrown a bone. Last year, he hardly had any story and the one major story he had, he was pegged as a child molester. Libby had an abortion last year (much to the chagrin of Denise), and she IS the one character that has left the Square to attain a higher education. Why possibly kill her? Again, Babe can die. That character never interested me. There is no light moments on the canvas at the moment and this potential tragedy will make it worse. Plus, I don't see how any of these deaths will affect the canvas long-term.

OMG. These speculations have me reeling. Why? Like why? I'm OK with Babe going out that way but possibly Jay? Lee? Libby? Ugh. This show is reminding me of GH in the Guza era when folks used to drop like flies every stunts sweeps for no damn reason.

Ugh! No! We already have enough doom & gloom already. Does everyone have to leave this show in a body bag? I'm getting to the point where maybe EE needs another regime change b/c this sh-t is getting out of hand. Denise's mother is OK, but I don't think she was needed for this story. She's been absent all this time, why now must she come and insert herself in something this major? Yeah, they should've left her gone.

I agree, @DRW50. Kim does not need a damn child. She barely cares for Pearl. Denise did the most honorable thing possible, which was to give her child up and give him a chance at a better life that she nor anyone she knows could provide.

Stassi (and the rest of these worthless whores) only want to 'expose' Lala b/c they are intimidated by her and want their ho past deleted, which it won't be. Scheana slept with a married man (Eddie Cibrian). Kristen slept with her BFF's boyfriend (Jax) AND ex-boyfriend's friend (James). Stassi has a sex tape with Frank from s1 of Vanderpump Rules. Katie is a booze hound. All these girls need to sweep the dirt off their own porches before coming for Lala. Furthermore, they'd all bed a married man with money too if they could. I don't know why they are trying to shame Lala if that's what she is doing.

Ugh! No! Why must the writers reward Phil and expose another poor child to him?! I feel like it would've been so much more powerful had Phil just did the adult thing for once. If they wanna prolong this story and still have Phil come to the conclusion that he isn't suitable, fine. However, giving Phil a child to raise is ludicrous. Plus, what court would reward Phil custody given his long ass history along with him housing a bunch of people sketchy pasts too? I just wish they'd send Lee off already. They aren't even trying with him. As I've said before, the story is more about Mick moping about the absence of Linda instead of Lee's depression. This story has been piss poor when it could've been so much more. DannyBoy Hatchard deserved so much better. I agree that they are writing Whitney like she's about to mount Mick at any second. I doubt it'll happen as Danny Dyer said to the press a long time ago that he supposedly told TPTB that he doesn't want Mick to cheat as that isn't in his character. I hate when actors dictate story. I hope O'Connor makes him bed Whitney just b/c he said that mess. I hope Denise grins in Carmel's face too when it comes out. Carmel is just trash. That whole family can pack up and go at this point. Kush should've remained a solo character like you said. Expanding his family has hurt him.

Oh! She doesn't know that Denise and Kush were screwing? I thought she did. Oh well. Regardless, Carmel can't judge. She's loose too and lies about things as well. She wasn't even on the Square good and she was parting her legs like the Red Sea for Masood while lying about Kush being Arthur's daddy. Good! Glad that Babe will be gone soon. I could've sworn the report said she be gone early Jan. Well it is past that time and I need her GONE.

All of them are f-cking horrible. Honestly, I think Trump picked all these idiots, so he won't take the brunt of the blame when sh-t goes awry. This was a tactic to surround himself with idiocy, so the limelight can be dispersed evenly amongst his Cabinet.

Ugh! Carmel sucks as a friend. Going forward, Denise needs to pay her dust just Carmel did her tonight. I was impressed that Shirley was so understanding with Denise. I enjoyed Shirley for once in a long time. Can they just write Babe off now? Why prolong it? She just needs to go. It is ridiculous at this point.

Did you all see the tweet that Julian Assange said he'd turn himself in if this occurred? He's so full of sh*t.

I don't mind that. It was just refreshing to see a respectable teen be introduced on the canvas. I expect her to become wild, etc. It would just nice and refreshing to see her be reintroduced to the canvas in a non-cliche manner.

So refreshing to see a teen character on a soap who's arrival was pleasant and wasn't cliche. I loved the dynamic between she and Althea and sadly spelling it out for mother that she'll no longer be able to see. That was heart-wrenching. When was listening to her parents talk, I was fearful that maybe Penny's secret would've been her being pregnant or on drugs. Glad that it is something so much more serious. Again, so refreshing as an introduction for the show's latest ingenue.

Nicola Wheeler is very underrated. I hope this reveal with Rakesh leads to something larger. Now you know that gay characters on soaps can't be happy. They have to be miserable. Every. Single. Last. One. The Bob and Charity stuff had me cracking up too as they'd be such an odd, unexpected pairing. The Pierce story is just too painful for me. I can't get over them making this fine, strapping man into a rapist. He wouldn't have to force me down b/c I'd willingly lie down each time.

God! Sharon is a f-cking embarrassment. I'm so sick of her being Phil's puppet. I loved Denise's attempt to reason with Phil. Honestly, neither of them can give this baby a good life. Especially, not Phil. I hope for once that the writers have Phil show some growth and have him make a sacrifice. I'm over Phil taking everything. Allow him to lose at times. I doubt that'll happen. I'm sure he'll stomp his foot and get his way.

Uh oh! Looks like Rakesh is about to be exposed. This is about to be interesting. @DRW50, I think you were the one to compare Finn to Emma. Yeah, I am totally seeing it now. He persistence to win back Kasim is going along the lines of what Emma would do. I've totally checked out when it comes to Rhona & Pierce. That story/pairing are ruined for me once they made him a rapist. Again, such a total waste.

Not an air mattress! We did see the living room part of her apartment/condo when Kairo & Kali were reintroduced to us. I doubt Sheree wants us to see all of that though. But with Marlo, I get what you're saying now. I do have to give Sheree props though b/c she is at least stirring the pot (along with Kenya) this season. Her stories with Bob are fake though. That's why they are coma inducing. Those 2 aren't back together or even attracted to each other. I've heard that Bob has another woman and is only helping Sheree, so she'll keep this check and stay off his back for money.

I think Lena goes on the camping trip. I hate how they didn't give her & RL a real shot. She might've been the shot of new energy this show needed. Sheree was coming back regardless. Production just used Marlo to reintroduce Sheree, so it wouldn't seem so jarring to the audience.

They went to Hawaii as their cast trip I think.

I don't pity Matt at all b/c if he knew he was unstable, he should've opted to not do the show. He knew that Kenya was gonna use him as a storyline, and his thirsty ass was all for it. Just like Walter back in s5. Can't moan and groan when you're a willing participant in the shenanigans. That aside, ALL the housewives use their spouses/beaus for story good or bad. It ain't just Kenya. They all fake stories. It ain't just Kenya. It is not Kenya's fault that her cast is so dumb and falls for her antics, thus keeping her relevant. It is not her fault that she is crafty enough to be the most polarizing housewife out of all of the cities that she keeps being brought back season after season.

Aww. Funky Crackhead is still bitter and pissed that Kenya took that ass to court all those years ago. Kenya is still relevant on RHOA while Miss. Thing is barely staying afloat and trying to hawk furniture on his Twitter when that blog & videos aren't providing a profit. RHOA: Marlo is stupid. Love her but she's stupid. Does she not realize that Kenya (at the time) was rebuilding her friendship with Nene. Why would she invite Marlo knowing Nene was going? It didn't kill Marlo to sit out that once. If it did, she should've said something THEN. Not now. That's what friends do too. If Marlo was smart too, she would've realized that Kenya getting close with Nene again is a power move. It is obvious that Nene will return, and it is better to be with Nene than against her. Marlo should've nudged Kenya into helping her get back in good with Nene once their relationship was stable again. But no. Marlo has officially burned her last bridge on the show. Sheree has no pull to bring her back next season if Nene is to return b/c she's trying to reclaim clout she used to have. Marlo played herself into a corner tonight. After this season, she is done if Nene returns. Speaking of someone else, who has played herself into a corner, Porsha that is, she was not too happy about Kenya/Phaedra's growing bond. I am interested to see where this goes. If she caught the hint, she'd realize that Phaedra is playing her like a fiddle and isolating her from the group even more by having her be her flunky. Even Sheree subtly pointed it out in her talking head about 2 episodes ago. Kenya just needs to leave Matt alone. I've been said that Kenya needs to stop dating on this show whether it is fake or real. She needs to pull a Bethenny and use this platform to promote her haircare line and other future businesses. Nothing more, nothing less. Cynthia's final scenes in her house were sad. I thought the scenes were well done. Kandi threw some good shade tonight. I'm glad she let the ladies know that her business is excelling. Kandi is far from struggling. She has a empire--something they are all trying to obtain. Say what you want about Kandi, but she is always business savvy and getting her coins. Sheree is a messy broad. I thought it was so tacky that she brought Marlo there to fight with Kenya. So glad that Kenya disengaged from the battle that Marlo wanted. And who the hell would pay $20 for a shirt from Sheree?! Child plz. I'm ready for Kandi v. Porsha next week. It's gonna be good. I think this is the episode that sets things off going forward.

Thank you for summing it up perfectly. @Edward Skylover, what Tony did with Whitney is no different than what Michelle is doing now. She preyed on a minor. What's worse is that Michelle is a legacy character we have ties too. Tony wasn't. Furthermore, as @DRW50 pointed out, it is out of character for Michelle and it doesn't help that the writers don't seem to make the situation seem serious. They are making light out of the situation and isn't even cute. This story is horrid. IMO, Michelle didn't need a secret to return to the Square. She had one on Mark. They should've just had her return to receive grief from the Mitchell family from keeping Mark from them. He practically seduced/groomed her like any other old chap would with an underaged girl. Michelle was never a self destructive character. Sharon occupied that role.
