(re: RHOA) I don't know what it is. However, if they are punishing the show because of the lawsuit where they settled with Nene, that's dumb. The women on the cast did not win at all in that lawsuit, and Nene stayed subtly jabbing the women throughout the process as she felt they didn't support her or declared Bravo isn't as bad as Nene claims. And yes, Kandi mentions it on her Youtube channel with Drew that they cut out Drew's near altercation with Sanya. You can tell they cut out a lot of stuff (too) to protect Marlo and Sheree. But backtracking to the promos, I feel like if anyone should get promotional money, it should be RHOA as they are the housewife show that put the entire franchise on the map and was number 1 for the longest. 

 

I do think that Bravo is self-sabotaging themselves because what network doesn't promote their own shows?! I've seen more promotions for network shows on Bravo than I have anything else. Now that you brought it up, I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing all of this to move content over to Peacock, which is still trying to find its footing. I mean we see how they moved DAYS over there to try and coax that audience to join the platform.

In 'Rinna's Losing It' news, it's getting creepy:

Well, go ahead and tell us, Rinna! We've been waiting all season long and we still don't [!@#$%^&*] know WTF KATHY ACTUALLY SAID.

More threats and gaslighting. Reunion already filmed weeks ago:

 

Thanks. I kind of felt for Kyle at the end when she sighed "f*** my life" as Kathy left. But she still stayed silent while Rinna tried to bulldoze Kathy. Kyle is going to have to decide if her Coven alliance is more important than keeping Kathy happy. And both are demanding mistresses. Oh well. She brought this on herself. She always wanted to dominate the show, and to do so she has had to throw at least one sibling (or friend) under the bus. Plus Kyle seems to love playing a victim.

Honestly, that scene overall was suspenseful to watch, but SO WEIRD. It still feels like production and the cast have been banned from saying anything, but nevertheless Kathy had to pony up a vague apology because Rinna was threatening to leak details. So everyone seems to be talking around things, and both Rinna and Kathy are using their Lowkey Threatening Voices, like they have more to say, but won't unless the other 'forces' them to. I am so confused, and I have a horrible feeling Reunion won't be clearing the air on any of this.

I personally like that this keeps coming up to the point that Production is now editing it out. Nice to know it was not just a one-off conversation back when Garcelle first brought it up. But yes, it's about time this elephant in the room gets acknowledged. If we can talk about Garcelle's segment...let's talk about how 'not' friends we are.

SLC:

After IMO a disastrous last season -- Jennie chasing Mary off the show while the rest of the cast (bar Meredith) pretended that Jen Shah's arrest didn't really happen -- I was about done with SLC. But.... I thought I'd give this S3 opener a try, and it was surprising how easy it was to get back into the SLC swing. Although I would have appreciated someone mentioning what Jennie had done, and why Mary was missing.

The thing that worked in the episode's favor was the bait-and-switch with the friendships. Meredith hanging with Jen Shah and Lisa meeting with Heather was the unexpected opening twist I didn't know I needed. The friend chemistry between Meredith and Jen, in particular, was great. How come we never saw this level of friendship before? Was it because Jen was so focused on being Queen Bee first season that she forgot how to interact with everybody around her? Meredith has always been my girl on this show, and Jen was a delight (I can't believe I wrote that) - open about what's coming her way, humble, with the glam squad gone and closet downsizing. It was a relief to see her shed some of those silly RH trappings, without shedding the aura of OTT glamour that Jen enjoys cultivating around her. Also the prominence of Coach Shah this episode really helped. He was great.

I was not feeling Heather last year, but here she rediscovered some of her lightness and jokey self-deprecation. At times I still want to shake her, like with her "Please like me!" attitude with Lisa Barlow. C'mon Heather Gay! You know you're better than that now.

Lisa Barlow is just LOL still so superficial and empty-headed and narcissistic. What WAS that convo with Seth?? A convoluted tale involving Saintly Lisa supporting her sister and being super-busy and In a Bad Place Last Year. Then she had the nerve to say in her VT that she simply couldn't apologize anymore to people who wouldn't accept it and that, for her own mental wellbeing, she had to move on. What? You never even apologized in the first place, you deluded fantasist!

Whitney, as ever, is just there for me, but she does look beautiful.

No opinion yet on the newbie Angie.

I am scandalised, lol. Now, I know you watched last season because you were on here posting about it! And I believe you watched some of the reunion, correct? Did you watch the Nicki Minaj Question Time?

I personally cannot wait for Potomac to start. I've missed it, for real.

I was so ready for it last night and then realized we had another week to go, grrrrr. 

@Cat I agree Salt Lake City was a nice, easy-breezy premiere. I guess they're going the route of "pretend they were never here" when it comes to Mary and Jennie (Jennie especially, as I'm sure Mary will be mentioned at some point).  I'm interested in seeing where the rift takes place between Bad Weather Whitney & Heather.  Lisa's apology tour will be funny. Thank goodness she was mic'ed during that rant...

LOL!!! I did...being one of the only Messy Mia fans.  

 

But yeah I watched last season and made it through the first part of the reunion, but I think I was being overworked at the time so it took me 3 tries to get into Part 2 and just never made it back in a timely manner. I've seen clips of some of the Nicki stuff. But I still wanted to watch it. 

 

I totally cannot wait. Probably going to make it through the RHOA reunion first though.

 

IKR. I wanted those taglines (and SLC) like YESTERDAY. LOL.

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
