Because this crew is coworkers. And once the cast become coworkers instead of actual friends, the shows don’t work. Which is a shame. RHONY works because these are genuine relationships with people that have known each other for years and years outside of Tinsley and I still don’t mind her.

The OC trailer dropped for later this season.

 

All I have to say is after that Lizzie comment I made the other day, I love that the ladies appear to be realizing who the real potstirrer is aka Tamra. And I want to know which one of them called her an evil bitca?

 

I also here for New Girl vs Tamra.

 

And Viki being in the thick of it.

 

Also interesting is that social media has said there should all be leading to Kelly vs Tamra, but no hint of it really here though I loved that everyone is also leading Kelly know they are tired of her S&*(

That was my reaction as well re: halfway mark. I guess so if they show it tomorrow.

 

That has definitely been clear from looking online re: Kelly vs everybody. Given how the trailer went, I wonder how the everyone  clues into Tamra's pot-stirring fits into it. Or will it be she snows everyone at the end...AGAIN.

RHOP:

 

Lawd!  That was good!  I seriously don't know where to begin!  

 

Karen handled lying ass trouble maker Jiz effortlessly. It was a thing of beauty.  I was in awe!  She didn't even break a sweat. 

 

Robyn had more tea than Lipton!  And telling Ash this is what she did to everyone was delicious!  Michael is a serial ass grabber, huh?

Now that  it's had time to settle somewhat...

 

RHOP

 

I think I feel different than the rest of you. Did I love Part 2? Oh, yes. And just like Part 1, the juicy stuff seem to really come out in the last half of the show. Good cliffhangers. But there was slow parts. Still entertaining, but it was like the pacing was off. 

 

MVP I think we can all agree was Robyn. I think that is the most she has ever been relevant on this show EVER. And for those who did not see the next week clip on WWHL last night, there's about to be a LOT more tea spilled. And I can't wait to see what you all think because I thought what Robyn said was shocking when she said how Michael reacted and tried to get her to stop talking about it. Ain't see anything yet. Trust.

KAREN. QUEEN. I could stop there, but I was checking Gizelle right and left and I loved it. I also loved the montage of her and Gizelle. It would be nice if they could get back to that. When they get along, they really do make good friends. 

 

GIZELLE. Dare I say it? Did Gizelle own her s*# when she was trying to talk some sense to Ashley? She actually seem...kinda...normal? That said, I loved Karen getting into that butt.

 

CANDIACE. Well...I didn't mind her going in on Ashley #karma, her and Monique getting into it was muddy. I did like that you could see that Robyn had her back since those two have always had a down low friendship. So I liked that.

 

ASHLEY. Ashley, guuuuuuuuuurl. I said it about Part 1, I am going to say it again *Porsha*YOURASSISINTHEHOTSEAT*Porsha* Enjoy it. *smirks* All these seasons you were being messy. And now Karma came to show off the receipts. Watching everyone being compassionate, BUT firm with her rosey glasses was earned. And I was again here for it. 

 

MONIQUE.  While I liked that she was classy about everything. It could also see what Candiace was saying. So...messy. Shades of her last season. And I must say I liking her husband's arms when the husbands arrived. 

 

ROBYN. YOU GO, GIRL!!! SPILL ALL OF THAT TEA. AND SHE DID!!!!  I still can't believe Michael was trying to silence her passive aggressively. Really, Michael? Really? And as Chit was kind enough to remind me, it was delicious when she of all people told Ashley that she could dish it, but she couldn't take it. Perfection.

 

And that scene with the husbands in the dressing room...you know you aren't liked when Monique's husband ain't even going to say hello to  you. smh.

 

Time for Part 3. lol.

 

 

Just wait for Part 3...;) re: Michael serial grabber of butts.

 

But yes, all that tea and her telling Ashley she can dish but can't take it was the most relevant she's ever been. EVER. 

 

BH

 

Look at who it is @Cat...notice who is not tagged...new posse?

But I look forward to seeing you in the VP thread since it's going to be old cast vs new cast (they even have two hot guys named Brett and Brent I heard...though I don't want to hear a thing about Tom-Tom vs Brett-Brent lol)

I can only concur with everybody here. Potomac P2 reunion did not let up for a second, and Karen and Robyn were STANDOUTS. Robyn was so chill and matter-of-fact throughout, what a difference from her grumpy self last year. I also liked Monique giving it as good as she got, though it makes me sad how Candiace sold her down the river for a chance to kiss Gizelle's ass. Be careful, Karen! Candiace may not be loyal to you either!

 

Questions: do you think Ashley and Michael will be back next season? And is Robyn angling for a fake paid-by-Bravo wedding to Jusn?

 

 

I'm sure KYLE will claim she is the one taking the photo! Or she and Teddi were at home, braiding each other's hair. 

 

Sutton's hair is too young for her, and I didn't even recognize the woman on the right. It's not just the wig; Rinna's face looks completely different!

 

Garcelle looks AMAZING.

RHOP:

 

I watched again and I know folks want Robyn to be MVP,  but nah.  Look at Karen's poise and Grace as she was reading Jiz for filth.  She was so collected and didn't need a screaming match.  And I have waited since day one for someone to actually say that if Jiz can't bulldoze over you, you are her enemy.  Did Karen nail that or what?  The entire evening, Karen very gracefully let Jiz have it, and it was deserved.  It makes me happy to see bullies called out and Karen did that!  The fallout was not 50/50.  Jiz got on tv and decided her 15 minutes was more important than her friendship with Karen.  

 

Karen also was really trying to be mother hen to gold digging Ashley but Ash wasn't hearing it.  Karen made it clear that they didn't know about the allegations when they talked about Michael wanting to swipe pipes.  Karen was giving this girl a lifeline but she would not take  it.  And I don't believe for one second, and neither does anyone with 2 pieces of intelligence, that Ash is completely unaware of Michael's extra curricular activities.  This woman lived in squalor and cars and is determined not to ever go back to that life.  Michael is a cash cow and Ash is not letting that go!  She's rather sit up and look like a damn fool than to not live as comfortably as she is now. 

 

Karen gets MVP!

I've believed Karen to be the breakout star of RHOP since the early days, but that view has solidified after this season. Karen is smart, self-deprecating, thinks on her feet, has a great turn of phrase, and can defend herself without breaking a sweat. I think her secret weapon is actually her empathy for others. She understands Gizelle and Ashley as human beings. Oh, and she's also funny as hell.

Very eloquent!

 

Karen, for me, has evolved. I don't see the fake HBIC any longer.  Even tho I was a bit peeved that she didn't outright answer that she was renting last week, Karen has morphed into such a likable genuine person to me.  She was The Grand Dame without having to say it in part 2 of the reunion.  

 

So refined and quick witted with her "I can return a good serve"...such excellence!  Tennis freaks could totally appreciate that line (@Faulkner)...lol

That's how me and the hubby are. Sometime during the 3rd season, we found ourselves just laughing our asses off with her instead of at her (I think if we rewatched S1 & S2, we'd have a greater appreciation for her).  But rather than just coming off as a cold Elektra Abundance, she has warmth and heart, and shows empathy and concern, even for her biggest haters. 

 

I still LOL when she tried to help Candaice express her thoughts on their France trip, and then when Candaice starts popping off, you hear Karen saying, "Okay now you let it go left..." ... "Okay I helped you start, but you're a grown ass woman you can fight your own battles" and proceeds to walk away from the group and take selfies in the sunset!  I just fell in love in that scene. 

 

 

Karen is my favorite, Monique is my runner-up, too. I didn't have a problem with her this year at all (Candaice can just be too much at times, without valid reasons for her temper tantrums).

    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
