Now Lisa is saying Kyle and Kim wee right about Yolanda in Paris and that Yolanda tried to get Joyce to be anti-Lisa before filming started.. And it all reads as desperate spin because she knows she can't win against Yolanda using her typical tricks...

Thank GOD they are filming at Mohammed's estate again this week. Some badly needed luxury!

Oh, man, what a classy girl Gigi is. What a sweet and moving speech to her parents and stepfather. I wish we had seen more of her this season and less of Carlton, Boyce, stupid Kyle and sour-face Brandi.

LOL @ YoLemony practically smacking the cake away from Gigi's paw. laugh.png Yeah, this is what a lot of European moms do. It's fine. They smother. They micromanage. And they are obsessed with their kids' health and that extends to eating patterns and weight. I went away to college and came back having packed on 15 pounds, and my mom literally sat me down and told me "Chérie, if you're happy as you are, I won't say another word, but if you're not, you need to listen to me when it comes to eating properly and taking care of yourself." Yolanda is obviously trying to preserve Gigi's modeling future (even though modeling is a crazy world) but she is also holistic and truly believes that food can change your health (which it can).

"He-LLOOOOOOO my love!!!" We know when David has entered a room, don't we? Yolanda really wants you to know that David loves her Just As She Is! Side-note: I am totally loving Mo's fist-bumping butler Khalish.

Brandi's mouth and tongue swelled up from an allergic reaction to... aspirin? LOL. Ok.

I have nothing to say about Carlton, except that clearly Kyle's jinxed screensaver is a caftan-inspired fakery, and Bravo already have her halfway out the door if they're not letting her go to PR.

Tits on an ant time! Obviously I am talking about Trashbox and Cousin It vs. Evil World Mastermind Lisa. Lisa really should have kept her nose out of this boring necklace story rolleyes.gif if only because it was so obvious that Trashbox and Cousin It were going to jump on it as PROOF!!!!!! that Lisa is an Evil Mastermind GENIUS!!!!!!!!

Brandi: "Lisa is super smart." laugh.png Well, she would know, right? What a twit. Lisa got Cedric deported, not the US government! Lisa poisoned her box of "aspirin" (in my country, we call that "funky realtor dick")! And Lisa knew Scheana when she was Eddie's mistressssssssssssss! Before she knew Brandi but hey, nevermind. Let's not let logic get in the way of a good rant. Obviously Evil Mastermind has been plotting against Brandi in the years before she even met our poor, put-upon, spunky heroine!

Still, Trashbox doesn't want to confront Evil Mastermind just yet because she's waiting until the finale to roll out that "Checkmate, bitch!" line she's been practicing in the mirror for months.

Meanwhile, Cousin It is still crying about Lisa's joke about Mauricio and Portia. rolleyes.gif It is really interesting seeing Vile go in on Lisa in the VTs, but when they are at Mo's party and they think nobody can hear them, both ladies talk to each other like really relaxed, comfortable friends. I hope they bring this up at Reunion. I also hope Trashbox and Cousin It got called out once and for all on their crazy jealousy.

Hey, did anybody notice that Kim wasn't at the party but nobody even mentioned it? Yeah, me neither! laugh.png

Next week: I don't know if I have the heart to watch Lisa got ganged up on. Oh what am I saying? Of course I will watch. But I will be devastated about the way she and Ken are treated. Kim needs to STFU and sit her gin-soaked, prescription-pill-pooping, dog-chewed ass down!

I like your post though I don't agree with everything that's in it. And I appreciate that while you like Lisa you don't have crazy stan-love for her.

But first thing's first: Brandi needs to get the heck over this Scheana thing. She has come face to face with her, what, two times? One was going into episode 1 of VPR, and clearly this was a contract thing which Bravo enforced. The second was Lisa forcing the issue with the engagement. You don't think production should be used as an excuse here, so I won't. Lisa looked ridiculous insisting on this. But Brandi looks just as ridiculous harping on about this all. The. Damn. TIME. She is looking for ant tits! This is an excuse to pick at Lisa and is not the real issue between them. IMO, the real issue is that Lisa and Brandi were enamored of each other quickly and suddenly last year when they were feeling a little lost and ganged-up-on by the others. But just as suddenly the heat of that initial love has burned out and they realize that they just don't like each other the way they used to and probably don't have that much in common any more. And it's hard. It's not easy watching a friendship you really valued evolve into just 'meh.'

Personally, I think the real friendship (or frenemyship) here is Lisa and Kyle. There is something more than just "we were acquaintances" there, and Lisa is still stung by what happened at S2 reunion. Obviously Kyle cannot get over not being the center of Lisa's orbit, either. Even if I hate Kyle, I am into this K/L friendship. Weird.

Is Lisa playing to camera? Sure. But phony? If anything, they are pissed with her because when they start bitching about her, she doesn't pretend not to hear or put up with it. She cuts them out of her life. In some ways, that's more upfront. Obviously, she'll make digs and throw shade but that's the RHWs for you.

Even the way Lisa got up in everybody's face about Necklacegate is telling. I honestly think it's because she sensed the coldness from Brandi, Kyle, Yolanda, etc., and she wanted to be included in the necklace thing. "Me! Me! Don't forget about me!" It's as simple as not wanting to be left out of the group and trying to take control of the situation. Even if it meant pissing them off (which I'm sure, deep down, she realized it would). Controlling, defensive? Sure, she is all those things. But IMO this is what makes Lisa more human. Because she actually cares about these women liking her and she wants to be seen as the person who gets people talking again (like with Carlton and Kyle. She really defended Kyle to her).

Yolanda is honest and blunt but she, just as much as Kyle and Lisa and all the others, has a brand to sell, and that brand is Lifestyle. So there is lots of "He-LLOOOOOOO my love!!!" and "here's a lemon tart I made earlier" and "here are my beautiful kids and our amazing extended family." I mean, I love all of it and believe it for the most part, but some of it is surely not all "diamonds and rosé." And with regards to the other women, Yolanda can be bitchy and stir the pot. She just likes to pretend that she's not bitchy, but it's ok. I will still love her.

IA that this season should have been cut by at least 4 episodes. I would have cut six and made Boyce and Carlton friends of.

I don't think Yo was outright trashing Lisa last season tbh. I think she made a remark that was blunt, but not a whole bitchfest like Tweedledum and Tweedledee made out. T&T jumped on something fairly innocuous (Lisa doesn't like to be criticized) and ran with it at Reunion.

Yeah, and then she goes "I apologize for being tricked by a horrible hater!!" That is basically the gist of her next few sentences.

To be fair, the blog is fairly well defended in that she trots out some facts, but I think Nene has surrounded herself with Yes people and doesn't want to hear constructive criticism or tjat she is wrong. This means that she is going to make some wrongheaded decisions, if she hasn't already. Look at the way she shades her long time friend Lexis.

Contrast that with Kandi who has people in her life (Todd, Carmon, Mama Joyce) who often push back at her and tell her stuff she doesn't like to hear. But she listens to what they have to say and even with Mama Joyce doesn't shut them down. She is able to weigh up all the opinions and options, and not just dismiss everybody who tells her "No" out of hand as a 'hater.'

Good for her. I still wish she would apologize for lying on Kenya and how she did her dirty at the party, but that's never going to happen

I love how she tries to shade Kenya by pointing out how she's had issues with various cast members. Really Nene? Its not like you haven't had your drama with Sheree, Kim, Kandi, Phaedra, Porsha, and Kenya

Not really. I like the family dynamic but this show is toxic. I think it could damage the good relationship Yo has with them to be honest

Well, it was overdue for Nene to 'fire' back so yay for a blog.

Shade, shade, shade.

I also thought, Cat (loved the comments btw), that they were meaning that one line Yolanda said in Paris and ran with it. And it was a harmless remark.

I just didn't like that episode at all. All of those flashbacks for me were taken out of context and Brandi was just coming across as extremely trifling and desperate. I found the necklace thing as such a setup. And so far, Team Lisa, in the start of this break.

Ring, set-up. The set up I saw was that Kyle knew that Carlton would reject it in all likelihood and was drooling for an opportunity to make Carlton look irrational about her hatred towards her. That doesn't really bother me since Carlton does have an irrational hatred of Kyle. Most of her current issue with Kyle was due to a dream she had that Kyle was talking about her.

I really didn't get the point of "it doesn't match." So? It was confusing on several levels: 1) why Lisa felt the need to throw herself in the middle of it 2) why some of the ladies took that weird note as malicious behavior rather than a confusing and completely unnecessary observation.

I'm not surprised that Kyle isn't jumping at the opportunity to be Lisa's first in line. I think deep down she's a lot like Lisa and once you betray her it's hard to really come back from that. You become totally about necessity or the lack of, not anything deeper. Also there's the fact that Kyle has wanted to take Lisa down from the Queen setting from season 2 or 3.

I agree with Cat on Yolanda. IMO, it was definitely a case of Yolanda making a blunt observation about Lisa and Kyle and Kim spinning it into something bigger to try to divide and conquer. Yolanda does not "appreciate" Lisa but it wasn't on the level that it is this season until this season started taping.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
