@FrenchBug82 It almost felt like Garcelle was prodding Rinna to admit on camera that she had basically sold out her personal relationships for a TV show. There was a second where Rinna raised her voice and the talking doll almost came alive.

 

I sometimes wonder if Rinna would have turned on Eileen had she stayed on the show. Probably. 

 

@Taoboi the fact that she's singing Feelin' Jovani in that gif as she dances is what gets me! I didn't know Ramona was a fan of Luann's discography.

 

Come to the dark side @Faulkner !

Eboni's statement...it sounds so good. 

 

Get her Garcelle! "I don't disagree." - that is some elegant truth bombing right there.

 

Rinna knows she looked terrible last season and while I think she's fully onboard with selling her soul and selling out her friendships for a buck and some extra minutes of fame I have to wonder if her QVC business, her real bread and butter, hasn't suffered...right now a quick perusal of her QVC line shows that everything is 50% discounted... 

 

 

That is such a hard one because Rinna and Eileen were so loyal to each other and had 30 years of history...but I can see the betrayal coming if Rinna felt it was necessary. "OWN IT, Eileen!" she'd bellow as Eileen would wipe away tears on the patio of her eclectically decorated Malibu home... 

 

 

I'm 100% on board with BH and I quietly resent myself for it.

Woooow! Garcelle is the first woman on this show to make Rinna nervous! She *knows* what she did was dark and wrong and I love that Garcelle held her feet to the fire. Like she said, how does Garcelle know she wouldn’t turn on her like that? 

Garcelle is about to give us everything we want! I can feel it!

I am not arguing this. Actually that's part of what I am saying: she knew that if she was boring, the only way for producers to make her interesting would be to a petty fight with others and as we were discussing, some housewives would be more than happy to indulge.

So she was smart to get out when she did instead of trying to squeeze that fruit much longer.


And I doubt she'd be back. She seems to really want to do nothing right now.

I find it funny that we hear Leah call Heather a Karen in the trailer, but isn’t that how SHE is acting? She’s judging everybody and trying so hard to have a problem with somebody that she’s the one coming off like a Debbie Downer. The look on Eboni’s face as she ruined the winery trip going in on Ramona was everything! The reason nobody is backing you up is because nobody cares! Chill out and have a good time! 
 

Other than Leah killing the mood I did enjoy this episode. I enjoy Ramona and Eboni getting along and Sonja was amazing! I don’t know what is going on with her, but she’s giving me life this season.

Interesting tidbit about her QVC dusters being discounted. In the past year or so, Rinna has subtly indicated some discontent with Bravo, and TBH I wasn't sure why. After all, they got rid of her arch-enemy LVP, and she & Erika have the rest of the cast (with the possible exception of Garcelle) running scared. Honestly surprised she didn't join All-Stars to cement her place in the RH canon. This QVC thing might explain why... BH isn't bringing in the dividends Rinna anticipated. (Certainly I haven't seen her crotchlings' 'fashion line' anywhere).

 

And @Faulkner I resent myself for it as well! It feels like I'm supporting Evil by watching, lol (OK, that may be a bit much, but anyway). I hope Garcelle and Sutton won't put up with the spidery machinations, and that the jig may be up for some of these women.

 

Andy once told Rinna she was "very Marco Rubio in her talking points" and it's still an apt description. Like those kind of politicians, Rinna doesn't seem to believe in anything she says, and is consequently shameless in the stuff she puts out there. Honestly, Rinna and Erika have morphed into their TV personas: terrifying, glossy holograms, parroting a lot of empty words.

 

 

S6 Eileen became a tits-on-an-ant nag. I actually liked her more S7 -- except for the way she backed Rinna in all things. It slipped under the radar at the time, but the way Rinna treated a vulnerable Eden (drawing her in, winding her up, using her as a pawn, then gaslighting and abandoning her) was beyond the pale. I would have expected someone as empathetic as Eileen to not be OK with this, but instead she brutally shut down Eden's ability to verbalise any of this at reunion. Don't get me started on the hall-pass she gave Rinna to harass Kim for years.

 

I would have been OK with Eileen staying on the show during that dud of a S8, though.

    • As someone who cut ties with the show a little while after Chris Van Etten came back, I can’t talk on what the show is like now… is the show that bad? But even as a rumour, that’s pretty wild and radical. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that before.
    • Yes, I know JK is getting on in years, but perhaps he and his family (wife and/or son) could work with him as co-headwriters on the new TEON! I would also be available as a story consultant!

    • It's too bad they didn't see it through. Alan and Van could have married for all the wrong reasons and ended up caring for each other, with Ross in the wings and possibly Rita, too, to cause trouble. Rita was a LITTLE BIT of a schemer. She was kind of the Nola of her era, without the goofy personality. She deliberately went after Ed because she thought he would give her the lifestyle she wanted. She could do malicious things, i.e. cooly seduce Evie's crush (who was played by Jordan Clark, btw) and string him along until she was sure she had Ed. While Rita claimed to be deeply in love with Alan at the time she departed, part of the attraction for her was his money and power. As well as sharing aspects of Nola's character, she was also a more subtle version of Reva-she grew up poor and always wanted more than she had.
    • I'm not that surprised, in just the little we've seen of her she's been a complete natural. Even better than a handful of the adults.

    • I liked that Steffy told Liam that he should tell Hope about his tumor. As acrimonious as Steffy & Hope are to each other, I'm glad they don't use their kids as pawns.
    • So early this morning, what I'm calling a crazy fan rumor, saying that the whole GH writing team is being replaced, wholesale, which I frankly don't believe. Wouldn't even post it except to warn others,  y'all, since you also may see it, read it, etc.  Of course what we will do is what we always do, watch the credits & find out what happens WHEN IT HAPPENS!!! 
    • I can't wait until he does one of these for BTG.  He's done them for several soaps so far.   LOL at Sara Bibel Video credit to Nnamdi Ngwe from this IG post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJFOg59RckB/ or this tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@nnamdingwe/video/7498912705424837919 https://x.com/deepsoap/status/1917700444312461350
    • You could see some kind of Rita/Vanessa showdown being set up, whether it was over Ed or Alan in 1981. (as Vanessa/Henry used the affair to blackmail Alan) But it doesn't seem like Ed/Vanessa were given a lot of time to work, when they only entered each other's orbit in March after Vanessa's "suicide" attempt. Rita's gone by June, it seems and Mart was fired. OG Vanessa seems to be the negative-reverse of Rita. Rita made unfortunate and selfish decisions, but she was never malicious or scheming.  In '87, Alan just seems like the irritant in Vanessa's relationship with Ross. Alan's only real interest in Vanessa was her Chamberlain stock (as he's involved in the weird art forgery/Valere mess and had kicked Phillip and Alex out of Spaulding) and Vanessa and Reva seem more invested in egging each other on than in Alan. When she leaves for Venezuela, Vanessa explains to Reva she wasn't in love with Alan, but thought she could be in a "modern" marriage and enjoy the power that came being Mrs. Spaulding (or something like that). But she realized when Billy called that he needed her , while all Alan needed was a "suitable" hostess. She also tried warning Reva from getting further involved with Alan, but of course, Reva ignored that advice. They even seemed to be setting up another go round between Ross and Vanessa on her exit. They have a tender goodbye, while Alan arrives too late to make an appeal for her to stay.
