Oh my goodness... LOL

Cat, your summary of BH's episode last week just reminds me why this franchise is the best. There is literally something juicy nearly every week! Can't even say that about ATL these days. (Or Jersey)

Well she doesn't own being black but she's owning her role as a villian. She isn't playing victim and act all innocent and naive like her friends. She goes in guns blazing and makes no apologies nor excuses for it. She's a bitch and doesn't try and act like she isn't

I think last season was much better than this one. This season didn't have many memorable moments and it always felt like we were waiting for it to pick up momentum. As much as I enjoyed Kenya, it was obvious she was playing for the cameras, which was annoying. I understand Sheree needed to go, but she went out with a bang IMO, including that fabulous reunion.

She does make excusus for it. She doesn't see herself as out of line or being a bitch. She acts like she is just and doing the right thing. Thats not owning being a bitch. She's delusional. And completely phony and desperate to be a wife. Has it been confirmed she wasn't even invited to the reunion?

Agreed. Well, if you want to consider the fight with Marlo a bang... We need someone to post a couple gifs of their fight with the hand gestures, LOL.

Afterward, she went out like a total punk trying to stir up drama with Black Babygate. In the end at the reunion, the only one saying "but it sounds racist!" was her. Nobody else agreed.

When I say Sheree went out with a bang, I mean that she was still providing unforgettable moments in RHOA history. The fight with Nene that opened the season, the RIDICULOUS Chateau Sheree mess which STILL is spawning parody videos, the epic reunion performance where everybody laid into her, her son sleeping on the air mattress, the fight with Bob, Marlo, etc. Yes she was pathetic, but that stuff was great tv. These season we have all the women on the sidelines treading water. Nene for example has been absolutely useless. The chemistry isn't there with the current cast. As soon as Kim left it went downhill.

Yeah, I'm already starting to see that. I finished the first disc. I'll get more soon. I can already see the start of the Nene/Kim feud. The feud feels kind of fake, so far (with Kim suddenly BFF with Sheree to cause drama), and the friendship seems far more genuine, but clearly this changes.

I like DeShawn's party story, I prefer this slow-builder to endless hysteria and staged screamfests, but I had to skip anything with Eddie Long. That seemed to go on forever in the episode. No interest in seeing him.

I hadn't expected that whole serious story about Nene's father. I couldn't tell how staged the psychic scenes were but that whole story felt very "real" for modern day reality storytelling.

Kim constantly dogging that poor guy who wrote songs for her...bleh. It's interesting to watch her (although the kid party was boring), but she gives off such a skeevy vibe. I guess you could say they all do, but in the first season, they generally don't. Not so far, at least.

Lisa's husband is gorgeous. They make a gorgeous couple. They seem very natural together and for the camera. I was endlessly amused at how their silly little back and forth session between the guys and gals suddenly became about Sheree putting herself in a 1978 Jill Clayburgh film. Sheree is this weird falling star presence, like a more sophisticated Little Edie or Norma Desmond, combined. It's fascinating to watch, because it's all so calculated.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
    • I can definitely see that airing the same week as The Love Boat colliding with an iceberg and sinking while crossing the North Atlantic on the Titanic anniversary with a “Who lives and dies?!” Promo next to Mr Belvedere being blackmailed over his wanted fugitive status back in the UK

        Agree with you both. I am also going assume that while Hotel may had some big numbers the first 2 seasons BUT the demographics weren’t great. Reason I say this is I distinctly remember my parents watching St Elsewhere and/or The Equalizer after Dynasty.    I still don’t get Hotel’s designation as a primetime soap opera either lol. ABC should have aired Paper Dolls in the 10/9 slot on Wednesdays in the fall of 1984 to give that show some more legs.    Obviously ABC was eyeing a double bill night in the same vein as Dallas & Falcon Crest and that might have worked better than leaving Paper Dolls to the wolves in an untested timeslot.
    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time.  And believe me, if I could bring myself to watch her male successors who were responsible for bringing back Reva and allowing her to eat the show again, or hiring Hunt Block, or being too chicken to stand up to stans who and hamstrung the show with boring couples stuck in the same repetitive stories (Vanessa/Matt, Chelle/Danny or Richard/Cassie, take your pick) not to mention San CristoHELL....I'd be more than happy to roast them on open spits. I guess we end up talking about JFP because she's in a period we can nominally agree was one of the last "best" periods of the show.
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.
