Kenyagate legit doesn't make any sense. If Nene is that pressed to end a friendship over someone inviting their other friend to THEIR event, then that friendship didn't mean [!@#$%^&*] to her to begin with.

 

I also despise Erika. Her better than everyone attitude is so f.ucking grating. And the fact that the other Housewives like drool over her makes it and her even worse. Not to mention her ridiculous anger issues when anyone slightly says anything negative to or about her. Hate her.

Agreed. 

 

I also agree with Cat that Erika does have likable qualities too, but she's believing her own hype. The fact that Rinna and housewives from other cities have a boner for her is obnoxious too. And yes, those cold angered outbursts are weird. It's like she gets triggered over a simple remark and goes after them like a dog in attack mode.

I think it is interesting that Erika was an actual (wealthy) housewife who consciously wanted to be famous.  When she talks about Erika Jayne as "a project", it seems cool that she had to find Mikey and hire her whole crew from nothing, given that she was a Pasadena lawyer's wife.  I don't think you could give $35,000.00 to just any lady from Pasadena and they would become a star.  I've lived in LA for decades but I don't know where I would get a custom vinyl catsuit or hire someone to produce beats for my own dance track?  However, what drove her to be a pop star at 35 is also what makes her unapproachable now.  There is so much artifice that it is difficult for her to appear sincere. 

 

When she said about Teddi, "that's not what she told me in my chapel" I cracked up as I do every time she sips champagne for emphasis.   In that way, she reminds me of Sheree, she is better in confessionals than with the other women.  Who could forget Sheree post-who-gonna-check-me-boo, when she asked, "whatever happened to customer service?"

 

I don't get Tom, Erika's husband.  They introduce him as the guy from the Erin Brockovich trial, but Edward Masry is who is portrayed in the movie by Albert Finey, and he is the one locally who became famous for the trial.  So who is Tom?

 

Also, I've read the gossip but I don't put any stock either Erika or Kyle trying to avoid discussing their husband's lawsuits because those are both businesses with big liabilities and I would bet that there is some constant civil action against either of them.  I can believe PK and Dorit live strictly on credit and with one lost payment the whole charade goes up in flames.  But Tom and Mauricio seem solidly rich.  And then Lisa and Harry (Freakin) Hamlin probably bought that house in Beverly Hills twenty years and they could live off the equity if all else fails.

BH had a couple of other highlights.  We got to catch up with the Work of Art: The Next Great Artist's China Chow (an old Bravo favorite of mine).  She's dating Billy Idol who is not aging gracefully but still may look better than John Mellencamp these days.  I was interested to see backstage at The Greek.  They've redecorated the green rooms and they are nice.  Also, I am always happy to see Gladys Night.

 

BH never admits that they're drunk (cue the champagne and tequila with no food and screaming baby) when they fight.  I am sure if Kyle were sober than she would have jabbed PK right back.

Okay, I happen to see bits and pieces here when I am at the house and WOW.

 

They really have nothing better to do, do they? And it looks like with LVP nowhere in sight (until she curses Dorit out next week...lol), they are already turning on each other. And Camille.

 

That was what I took from what little I've seen and next week promos. It is REALLY about Camille out of all those chicks. Just SMH. 

 

ATL

 

I keep having a different opinion over it tbh. I kept wanting Cynthia to be all 'win a case' on Nene. And there were times she hit the mark...and there were times that Nene being non-responsive just made Cynthia's comebacks fall flat.

 

It is going to be a hard long road for me to like Nene again. She was just foul this reunion and too many times I found myself calling my tv names.

 

I continue to like Kandi and Shamari there like a Greek chorus.

 

Porsha was just so little throughout though I found her quite muted after the Closetgate section.

 

Over it and hope all those Kenya rumors turn out to be true.

 

POTOMAC

 

I see the latest promo have more of Karen in them. And she has stepped up her hair game. I am loving her  in the braids though I do wonder who she is dragging in the promo.

Being a straight semi-successful guy on the Upper East Side seems like a dream for Mario.  You can humiliate your ex-wife in the press for years, and then be called a prince for gifting her alcoholic friends some free wine charms that you found at the bottom of your desk.  And if one lady says she won't sleep with you, turn your back and find another one.  A man with hair, a credit card, and a black leather jacket could probably score a home cooked meal twice a week, a month in the Hamptons, and the Restilyn-filled gal of his choice. 

 

They seemed happier than the "artist" with a million birds who has lost the concept of time.  Things either happened ten years ago or ten minutes ago, he doesn't seem to recall.  Did you see his paintings in Sonja's testimonial background?  Bethanny's point of how that experience validated Tinsley and Sonja's history made zero sense to me.  Bethanny is a long time scholar of the New York Post, certainly, she read about them both in their prime. 

 

While Barbara is on her apology tour, I feel like nobody is nice to Tinsley.  She seems like a girl who is game for a good time, but they are treating her like an idiot.  And did she tell Dorinda they broke up at the circus and again at the spa, or did she say it on spa day for the first time?  Also, I smiled that for all of the talk about wrap dresses, they only had two shots of Barbara in a wrap dress.  Meanwhile, Bethanny bought out the entire fall season of Gucci, with all those stripes and bows, and nobody calls her out.

 

Look at Ramona tonight and in her flashbacks, she has been engineered not to droop.  It reminds me of a play I saw with Jane Fonda and in one dramatic scene, she had to take off her blouse.  She was a woman over 70 with a chest that stood straight forward on its own.  Every other part had aged: her hands, her neck, her walk, but her bazongas were still hard as rocks.  The future of NYC won't be like The 5th Element, it will look like Dorinda's real estate agent; zombies who can still support a strapless dress and the men they crave.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
