Are you talking about Eddie?

 

I am feeling a little underwhelmed by this Tahiti trip on OC. I don't want violent fights or nasty toxicity, but I just feel it's been particularly contrived. Before, I never felt that Vicki's need to whoop it up was a fakery, nor her friendships (or lack thereof). But on this trip it has felt forced and desperate. I didn't buy for one second that Vicki was drunk (and neither did Heather from the looks of things). Shannon is apparently part of Vicki's posse but their hugs and interaction have been awkward. I love Sophia Loren aka Lizzy, she brings a nice, fun dynamic to the group (and plus she is so [!@#$%^&*] gorgeous), but that pregnancy test bit was kinda mandated by production, it felt like. On the whole it's been a fun trip but a little lacklustre.

 

Speaking of fakery, that Meghan creature better not be holding her breath for acting jobs in the future. Her attempt to squeeze out tears was SO painful. I believe she cares about her stepdaughter but I don't believe for one second that she is this bereft about that kid not being 'her's.' What a dumbass SL. She's such a whiney thing too: "Vicki and Tamra don't understand the DEEP LUV I HAVE FOR MAH STEPCHILDREN" :rolleyes: Lord Jesus. Of course they understand. They are mothers. All the HWs are mothers. They understand what it means to love kids. They're just telling you to stop wasting their time with the crocodile tears and stop competing with your husband's dying ex-wife.

 

One thing I will say about Meghan: her ass and legs are on point. :huh:

OC

I actually find the Tamra/Shannon/Vicki trio quite organic. Particularly when they were busy getting drunk at the bar before Meghan hauled Heather and Lizzie back. 

I'm enjoying OC this season, a good balance of light and heavy moments and the ladies gel...because they all know Meghan is heinous. Honestly, this chick makes me sick. Her whining and bitching and fake tears about not being the mom of Jim's kids (WHO HAVE/HAD MOTHERS!) is so weird and immature and stupid. Meghan's really made an ass of herself on national television. She's gross and far too stupid for a 30 year old. She's very fixated on how everyone is older than her and mocking them for it. She'll regret that when she's dumped. 

Shannon's marriage is still a trainwreck and it's sad to watch and she shouldn't have it on TV. 

 

NYC

The last two episodes were very watchable. The London trip for Dorinda and Carole was great. Carole was so much more likeable away from Heather. 

Most importantly: Dorinda is friends with Trinny Woodall, who I am a HUGE fan of. I knew I loved Dorinda, but now that I know she's friends with Trinny, it just confirms my good taste. 

Bethenny demolished Ramona.

I thought so too. The London trip was glory for me, not just because I live there, but because it dealt with an emotional subject very beautifully. Anybody who has ever lost a loved one can relate to the grief and even the odd quirks and gallows humor of being in such a situation. The episode never white-washed a thing and it really felt like closure/a celebration of what these women had once cherished with their husbands. I loved how well Doris (lol) and Carole bonded on a meaningful level.

 

And I wondered if you caught Dorinda greeting Goddess Trinny! What I would give for Trinny to show up on RHoNY. Good luck with your nail line, Kristen, but time to make room for a true clotheshorse and an actually interesting diva.

 

Bethenny is glory and if she decides not to continue RHoNY next season, it really just will not be the same without her. Ramona is back to her old tricks, I see. As Heather (who I have criticized in recent episodes) said, Ramona is bad-mannered, and that is not funny anymore, it is just rude. 

 

On another note, I'm glad Sonja's fashion show went well. And I'm glad she was invested in every detail, even though it threatened to ruin the show. It was nice to see the ladies pulling for her instead of cackling over her failure, but I did wonder just how many of them showed up to watch Sonja fall.

 

The business people she surrounds herself with seem suspect at best, though. That business manager unable to give a straight answer to Heather and Bethenny... Lord JESUS. That is some smoke he is blowing up Sonja's ass. My worry is that Sonja tends to have her head turned by people who flatter her the most, and that's a recipe for getting ripped off.

I was stunned when I saw Trinny - I worship at her alter. It's so interesting that Dorinda is in the Trinny set - just delightful. And it was clear that Dorinda and Trinny are real friends. That Trinny had a dinner booked that she had to go to but still made it to Dorinda's party: touching and lovely.

I think the only one who didn't come to see Sonja fail was LuAnn. Much as Sonja and Ramona are BFFs I think a lot of that has to do with Ramona feeling like she's superior to Sonja. I recall when Sonja decided to take down the portrait of herself and her husband from her dining room it was LuAnn she called on. 

 

Totally agree about the businesspeople Sonja surrounds herself with. They don't seem legitimate at all. It was just plain weird that they couldn't tackle any of the basic questions head on about merchandising and comparative market analysis.

    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
