I used to hate Karen but she saw that she needed change (in front of the cameras) and she did just that.  Karen will not be punked by these women and I love it even tho I'm living vicariously thru you guys in regards to RHOP.  Karen has been thru too much to be owned by a bunch of simpletons!  She's a good friend and care giver but when you need to be gathered, Karen will handle business!

I came into this season thinking I wasn going to like Karen bc of the early shade against Wendy but the Grand Dame didnt not disappoint and I still ride for her. I think she carried herself quite well this season.

if anything the way she stayed on Gizelle's neck and did not play into her games sealed it for me. Karen was VERY transparent about her life this season so there was no tea to spill. She called out the bullsh-t when necesary and didnt let Gizzard hide in her glass house. She also did the best she could to support both Candiace and Monique. Does she lie? Yeah but like she said, the women dont need to know everything and they dont. They (GEB and Wendy) tried but failed to knock her down bc she stayed 2 steps ahead of them at all time

 

FYI Muva posted some receipts and of course the GEBs have not apologized

Well...I see you all have been busy. lol.

 

I agree with @Cat @DaytimeFan and @Gray Bunny as well, but the above hit across the points that I especially mentioned many pages back about why I was liking La Dame...especially this season...and I'm not really going to go into it again...in a long way anyway lol. Nothing humbles someone like losing a parent. She lost her parents back to back. And she was definitely humbled. And like the above, she did change. Which is why also said above, she is been VERY transparent IMO and I love her for that. Rather than use vinegar to win the audience...she used wine with a slight bit of bitter. And....IT WORKED. All she had to do was be herself. And herself is a lady who can be serious when she needs to be and yet have a sense of humor. A woman who can look beautiful without even trying to be. A woman who can also be messy, but real as a friend, caregiver, and diva. Cuz yeeeeeah divas can be real...and classy. And even better, she is constantly growing. Clearly those deaths made her look inward and she did not like what she saw. So she is working day by day. And look at her now. No wonder those hoes are pressed. And given she sees them so clearly she stays ahead of them constantly. 

 

I would personally like to know why people are so triggered by La Dame turning her life around and still being messy when other housewives...both on this show and others...do what she has done (setups, fake storylines, potential fake storylines, alliances) and don't get half of the irk that apparently us just mentioning her name here seems to bring people to.

 

One last point...what I like about POTOMAC is that there is no black and white. For people who have started off liked (Gizelle was a fave first season), there has been people who have been hated. But that changes constantly and gradually on this show. No one person is just white. Or black. Gray for sure. And I find that enjoyable. You never know...next season we might all be hating Karen or be on Candiace's side if she comes back. One only has to tune in...

RHOA

 

Well...that opening.

 

Like POTOMAC'S opening (which was soap opera goodness in its recapping), the beginning of RHOA's new season was all kinds of realness. And I teared up a little. 

 

They touched on the beginning of Corona during last season's finale and here we are with BLM. I admit...I never saw the video of George Floyd. Only the pictures. So yeah that was kinda triggering, but it got the point across. The world we left where Kenya dragged Nene for looking like she was part of the cast of WHITE CHICKS is not the world we are in now. A world where one has to wonder about sending your child off to college. A world where you have to question how many people you have at your wedding...or even if you are going to have it. A world where you have to think about your baby daughter and if she is truly safe.

 

For the first time in a while...RHOA got REAL. And it was not pretty. But...it was not boring either. Regardless of what people say.

 

PORSHA. Who would have thought that the girl who did not even know what the Underground Railroad was would be out there these last few months and be protesting and using her platform to get Breonna Taylor's name out? I know some people are picking on her for storyline. But I remember this happening in real time. And posting it here. RHOA was not even filming when she was doing that or planning to film. And the footage they used was from Porsha's own phone rather than cameramen...people actually thought she was bringing in crew. I...can't. And that tear gas attack was just as bad as it was when it happened. 2021 from what I can tell will be bringing a lot of Blackcentric things going forward from what I saw the last few months. In media. In books...even my own writing is reflecting that. We finally see the HW shows themselves diversifying. So I see Porsha as being ahead of the curve. As we know, she won't be JUST about the protesting. She will still have drama with Dennis. Some with a newbie. And Strippergate. Just let Porsha be real. It becomes her.

 

KANDI. Last season she was basically the new bone collector. So it was good to see her as support and dare I say it comic relief. Her with Don Juan. Her with her family. Her with Titty Cents and Marlo. It was a hoot. And while a repeat, I guess we could have used an update on where things stood with Block. Like Gizelle over on POTOMAC, Kandi really needs to listen to Riley when it comes to her Dad. They tried it. It didn't work. She don't care. She might some day. But Kandi shouldn't push it. It should come naturally. I continue to enjoy the Kandi/Cynthia/Kenya friendship. But given filming hasn't finished, I wonder if Kenya's renew association with Shady Phae Phae will come into play then and cause drama. 

 

KENYA. Like I said Sunday...it was great to see Brandon cameo in. It has been a moment...or Season 7?...since he had been on. But WOW. After reigning supreme at the reunion, seeing Kenya broken was shocking. I like she was admitting to the weight gain and worried about custody, but where is the fiery Kenya of old? Marc really did a number on her. And I like her determination to make it work, but it does not seem like that is what he wants. So like Kandi and Cynthia said, she should let him go for good. She is too beautiful to not be happy. 

 

CYNTHIA. SMH at Titty Cent. lol. That said...what is this I hear about her getting a camera crew to film her wedding when Bravo refused. Well...if it worked for LuAnn... But...I don't think that will be a good look on her at all. I know what she said to Mike about why she wanted to get married anyway...*cough*flashbacktoPeterwedding*cough* but I could not help but feel for the first time that was a lie. She is doing what Vicki tried to do on the OC to stay on the show...have a wedding storyline. And one has to wonder...how desperate is she to stay on? It definitely seems like the wedding is more about being seen than it is about marrying Mike. Shades of Carrie/Big wedding in the SATC movie? 

 

MARLO. YYYEEEEAAASSSS!!!! Hilarious!!! I wish more people here in SD would be like that if they must be extra. JS.

 

A good start and soft reboot. 

 

Is there life after the Moose? Yes.

 

Oh and speaking of Porsha @Gray Bunny, to answer your question (I looked for clips so if I find it I will post it), she said that Monique told her that Candiace only did the lawsuit as a money grab so she could afford that new house she bought. Gizelle was trying to disagree and say lie, but Porsha checked her by saying she heard it from Monique's mouth. She then went on to say that Monique said she did try to resolve things with Candiace, but lawyers would not let them talk at all. Kate from BELOW DECK started to say something, but Porsha checked her too. Some of what she said did gel with what I've seen online and the timeline on the show so I really do not disagree with it. Hopefully we will hear more at the reunion. But yeah...Porsha and Gizelle went at it for a few minutes.

@Taoboi I think that is another scam from Erika and Tom. He had all this time to respond and conveniently waited until a lawsuit was filled saying their divorce was a scam? Just looks to me like he’s playing hardball to undercut that lawsuit. “How could it be fake if I’m asking her to pay my attorney fees and asking for no spousal support?” That’s just my speculation.

    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
