Candiace seems very feisty and outgoing. It's a love-match with her and Monique!

 

Now you know I love Karen, but she is clearly putting up a front for the ladies and the audience. She is trying to save face. Looking back on the episode, it struck me how empty that big ole Great Falls mansion was. It reminded me of Teresa Giudice's McMansion after she and Joe had to sell off half the furnishings. I noticed in the season teaser that nosy-parkers Gizelle and Ashley dress up as pizza deliverymen

 and ring the doorbell and the place seems totally empty. Do you think this mansion is staged for the cameras and that Karen and Ray live somewhere else (somewhere smaller)? That place looks way too big for the two of them and, frankly, beyond their current means and circumstances.

 

Also when Ray was talking to Karen on-camera about the tax lien, it seemed to be the first conversation they had in days.

Those taglines are kind of underwhelming to me

  I guess Luann has the best.  Ramona's delivery is always good too, although I'm pretty sure age mattered to her when it came to Mario's young mistress...

 

Did they change the music a little bit?

I loved Potomac’s premiere. Looks like they’ll have their third good season in a row. I must say I don’t understand the glee about Karen’s situation after they gave Ashley a hard time for looking into Robyn’s background. I expected her to be the main one advocating for them to give her space.  Ashley, Monique and Karen remain the standouts for me. Gizelle is gorgeous but she’s not very likable and Robyn is a fool for moving to a bigger house with a man who don’t want her. She should’ve stayed where she was at and stack her coins. As much as I love Ashley I can’t understand why she’s paying anything for her mom when she don’t have the money herself. She needs to secure the bag for herself first. She should’ve been had a baby if she were smart. 

 

In other news, I’ve decided to rewatch RHOA on Hulu and I’d forgotten how juicy the first two seasons were. I’m midway through season 2 and Kandi came out the gate a star. She’s always been a gift to this show showing her full life and everybody in it. Good or bad I always ride with Kandi bc she’s been more authentic (willingly) than anybody and as the rIchest on this franchise she certainly doesn’t have to be but I love that she is. She doesn’t get most of the attention but she’s truly the glue that holds this show together and keeps it grounded. 

 

The other big big thing I noticed was what a good housewife Lisa Wu was. I loved her friendship with nene and I think she could’ve brought a lot to future seasons. I don’t think Bravo wanted her to go, but she didn’t want her money and relationship problems with Ed filmed. I wish she’d stuck it out because a comeback story with her would’ve been interesting to watch and I think she’d still fit in. 

 

As for current RHOA, I felt the finale was good. The Kim experiment was clearly a mistake. Kim seemed like she didn’t wanna be there from day one and went out of her way to alienate EVERYONE it seems. She and Kroy seemed so out of place in the finale. I hope they don’t attempt bringing her on next year. I also feel like Sheree has outstayed her welcome once again. She had very little to offer other than gossiping and I question how she’s paying for the Chateau. Her Bravo checks can’t be that good. I’d let her go next season for sure. I also think it’s time for Marlo to get a peach. I want to see her working and a more full picture of her life than you get with her as a friend. I think she earned her peach this year. Eva was okay but not as good as I thought she’d be. With that said, I think it’s enough to give her a peach and see where things go from there. 

 

The big wildcard for RHOA is if Kenya will stay or not. I don’t think she wants to stay but I know Bravo is probably dying to keep her especially if she really is pregnant. I’d see if she’s interested in jumping franchises and seeing how she’d do in New York. From her standpoint it would benefit her because it’s a different cast so she may finally catch a break, Plus her husband lives there. If she returns to RHOA it’s hit or miss but a better chance it’ll be more drama for her. It would benefit Bravo to just convince her to swap shows and hope she can bring that Georgia shine to NYC’s ratings.

I probably liked Sonja's best...

 

I know Kenya is polarizing but I was disappointed at how many people were defending and supporting Michael Rappaport for his attacks against her. He has a history of these comments about black women.

I thought the Kenya/Michael thing was just funny for him, he wasn't all serious.  I'm a Kenya fan, but she did that thing again where she accuses someone of being gay as an insult... she did that on WWHL with Michael and Andy rolled his eyes.  I know she's very pro-LGBT, but she's gotta learn to stop.

He has a looong history of attacking black women. Before WWHL even went on he posted a picture of Kenya and a Monkey saying that’s who he’s appearing with. I don’t blame her for anything she said considering he went in like that. He’s one of those racist white people who acts down because they have black friends and listen to rap music. I’m not a fan at all!

IMO all the RH have dipped this past year except Potomac and Dallas which improved (though they only had 2 seasons). NYC was very uneventful. Saying it was the best doesnt say much. For me Id say I still enjoy ATL more but thats probably bc Im more invested in it.

I would agree. Dorinda is the best recent addition to any RH show because it was such an organic choice. Sonja, Ramona and Luann all recommended her after knowing for a number of years. It makes a change from OC Meghan (shudder) pretending to know Kelly Dodd when it is clear they've never laid eyes on each other and have zero in common. Even BH Dorit said she'd only met LVP briefly before filming started.

 

I have seen pics of Margaret hanging out with Teresa, Melissa, Dolores and Danielle off-season so in a sense NJ has that bond -- sometimes.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
