But KdP did well with what she was given. I thought it very natural that Blair would be the one to really disarm the girl despite Todd being the one to actually take the gun from her hands. Blair was with her during Ross's silly meltdown and I hope they explore more of Blair's bonding with Danielle. It could force Little Miss Alderson to play a more bitchy and jealous Starr - though I know it will mostly be about Tea and Blair, if they even go there.

And yes, Clint and Kim / Bo and Nora have done a good job of holding my attention, especially when Nora (or was it Bo?) said this upcoming year was just going to get harder.

I'm just glad someone else here is old enough to understand my gay points of reference.

I'm sorry but I don't understand why Langston would ever see Ford as more attractive or interesting than Markko. Pouring a bucket over your head in a bad knockoff of Lucky Vanous isn't all that special, and he's even less special when clothed and speaking. Markko is gorgeous and charismatic -- Ford is generic in every way.

I would care more about this Matthew triangle if I felt this was even about Matthew's choice, or if the relationships involved were more developed. Destiny/Matthew may or may not have worked as a couple but we did see them develop as friends. The girl who plays Dani has been poor when given strong dramatic material, her voice is flat and her emotions aren't there, and while she is OK with just bonding with Matthew, that has been an afterthought compared to rushing them together because of some sort of fate, or because she's the new pretty pony who must be worshiped like her mother.

It's acceptable cause his abs & his skin mean that he is entitled to be as smug as he wants!

It's Tarty level offensive.

It's all about punishing the Black girl for being "uppity" & not knowing her place while TPTB's mandated couple are rewarded for being young & white.

After 40 years the blatant regression is amazing.

He's just so hard to even remember. If you have to recreate some Diet Coke ad from 15 years ago then you aren't that special.

What I don't get about Dani/Matthew is this reminds me of Starr/Cole -- fate and true love in place of strong chemistry or acting talent. People said KA was too weak of an actress to be given major material, which she was, but at least she grew up on the show and had a following. This new girl can't act and yet she's shoved into major storylines and given a big love interest. Eddie Alderson is a better actor than Brandon Buddy but he can't make up for how desperate I think this story is. Everything with her and her parents comes across that way.

For me it's not even really about Destiny and Matthew, I would be fine if they just stayed friends. It's just this girl who isn't that good of an actress and isn't that likeable of a character being pushed as a big star and upending what was already there.
