I thought it was a good start to the next cast trip. Team Teresa/Jennifer/Dolores though. lol.

 

You have Marge and Melissa worrying about Jackie like she is Regina George and they are Mean Girl 1 and Mean Girl 2. Meanwhile you have Teresa, Jennifer, and Dolores actually talking about life. Teresa with the house, everyone picking on Dolores about David, Jennifer with her parents. And THEN...the tea about Marge's Joe. See what I did there? What do the wannabe Mean Girls have to talk about? NOTHING. Except for the rumor they don't want to talk about??? Oh and Teresa. SMH. 

 

THINGS I LOVED

 

MEMORIES OF NONO. I should have known. I cannot ever see or heard anyone talk about the death of parent without tearing up. So Teresa talking about Nono and her mother and just how REAL her talking about it. I had a good two minute cry. I miss my dad, Teresa. I totally understand and feel that. And I remember the video of the doves online so that just hit my heart. And then Joey talking about hard that was to do with it happening in the middle of Co-Vid...anyone who lost someone understood that.

 

DOLORES. I've been enjoying how more and more, they are showing so much of Dolores's life. And her family. And her dynamic with her man. And just...more. I just don't recall them showing so much outside of Frank Sr. And Frankie so it's been refreshing. And I like she got an award and they touched on breast cancer. But yeah, I'm like Melissa...what is up with Dolores and David. His vibe when all the girls were showing up at HIS house was...odd.

 

TERESA'S GIFT. Come on! It was funny. I felt like it was part-dig, part-humor when she gave Jackie the 'gift.' I mean was Jackie not just talking analogies and the like. If anything...correct me if I was wrong, but did they cut out the Evan line from the preview clip of that scene?

 

JENNIFER THE BONE COLLECTOR. GO ON, SHEREE JR!!!! Work for your spot!!!

 

THINGS I DISLIKED

 

MARGE. Girl...you be lying. Every time she said she never hear it, she had the tone of someone that did not even believe what she was saying. And we know Joe was lying and he looked it, too. 

 

JACKIE. Girl...you were too crying. Trying to be a victim when she is the one who is keeping the rumor alive. 

 

Again, good start. 

 

 

 

 

 

RHOA

 

So...after fighting with Falynn on Twitter...Latoya might just go to the reunion after all. lol. Lord, those two.

 

So far...Falynn is not going to be at the reunion. Unless she is tricking Latoya in order to get her to drag her. Verbally.

I still enjoy Marge. Sue me. LOL. I don't blame her husband for denying saying anything and liked that the other husbands kept mum. They wanna stay out of the women fighting; other House-husbands should take note. 

 

Meanwhile, even though this Teresa/Jackie feud was exacerbated this season by Teresa, Jackie is the one that needs it to survive on this show, and it's.... draining. I'm going to call it early and say this will be her last season because this is her final leg to stand on. 

 

Other than that, fun episode. @Taoboi ITA on the Mean Girls analogy, and preferring the Teresa/Dolores/Jennifer car ride. And wow, those vibrators looked like bowling pins!

THANK YOU!!! She's been a revelation this season for me. With everything ended and done, it's like she has a new lease on life and dare it if she's not going to be living it.

 

Hahahaha. It doesn't beat last year's Candyman/Kandi video when Nene did the same thing, but that is hilarous. I can't wait for the reunion tea. 

 

@Gray Bunny I was rolling at the vibrators and Joey's reaction to them.

I also teared up with the Nonno flashbacks. We have 'grown up' alongside this family. It rounded out Teresa from a one-dimensional Joisey Gorl to second generation American who had familial/cultural obligations to stay in her marriage and succeed financially. The Italian connection has always been one of the more fascinating components of RHONJ. Nonno was a factor in the Giudice-Gorga standoff we got in S3-5. 

 

Even though I hate that Teresa instigated the gossip about Evan (which was spiteful), I find myself easily Team Dolores-Teresa-Jennifer. What is it about these three together, so comfortable and relaxed? They 'get' each other. Cooking together in Dolores's kitchen (Jennifer with no make-up, Frank Catania puttering around) was the best thing ever. With Teresa + Dolores & Frank, you can tell it goes way back. It's not often that Teresa listens and is reflective like she was in that kitchen. Also in the car when Dolores was talking about how Teresa needed someone to take care of her and sweep her off her feet, Jennifer in her VT said "I wish Dolores could see what her friends deserve, she also deserves."

 I love that.

 

Team Marge-Melissa-Jackie friendship feels more superficial, like 'our kids play together/the two Joes love each other/I love your dress.' I think Melissa needs people around her who affirm her looks/amazingness on the regular. Jackie does, too. Marge knows this and obliges. Marge is smart. Sometimes I really dislike her because she is so strategic and trying not to show it. And she is targeting Jennifer (HOW DARE HA). However, like @Gray Bunny I still like her humor. 

 

I don't know if it's the pandemic and we've been in a year of, like, semi-isolation but I am really liking hot Bill Aydin !  

 

Jackie. OK. I feel like she expected this season to go a certain way and it... didn't. She jumped on the chance to play victim and bring down Teresa. The problem is, she didn't have the back-up she expected. She set down the 'I refuse to film with Teresa!' gauntlet in an effort to edge Teresa to the periphery. Both Melissa and Marge were like "We support you, honey! We're just going to Teresa's pool party where the cameras are." Looks like Marge was talking out of turn, too. No wonder Jackie has that sour expression. She was nervous showing up at Dolores's and coming face to face with the big T-Rex! I almost felt sorry for her.

Jackie puts on this front like she's not scared of anything..yet is all talk...no action.  I get being upset by a rumor..but the way she's acting...is she hiding something?

 

Her hubby did slim down..and I've seen some comments on his shirtless pics were positive (pre season)... so I could see her being insecure already..and than the rumors put her over the edge.  

 

If she isn't careful..she could end up being like the main character in Kate Bush's 'Babooshka'

Can Marge stop attacking Jennifer for saying the damn truth? And can she stop playing victim? She wants to make Jennifer bringing up the guys' conversation the issue, when really the issue is: Marge and Joe have been talking out of turn about the Evan rumors. We can all sense that Marge is trying to cover her ass.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab the episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). The full HD version of ep.3170 is on YouTube channel:

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (
