RHOMIA

Kiki came to work this season! I see she's going to be the bone collector and I love her being messy while looking bautiful

This was a STRONG premiere. So much better than SLC and arguably rivaling Potomac. So much drama and the show got the ball running. I love that they kept the same cast as ALL the women are delivering in their own way.

 

YIKES, I didnt realize we were gonna find out about Lenny cheating in realtime. I thought the season would open up with them seperated, but Lisa and Lenny are together doing family things. Wow, the cameras caught this as it went down

I loved Miami's premiere and I have always been lukewarm on the show.  I am really confused about Lenny's hot mic moment.  Was he begging to get caught?  He knew he was micced and said that's why I am whispering.   He's not an idiot.  He had to know the show would use that.   I genuinely feel bad for Lisa.  I don't think she's the greatest wife or anything, but it's clear she did love him and was blindsided by all of this.

I have watched the first 3 episodes, thus far, and I feel like Lisa acting out was b/c she and Lenny have been having problems. We could tell last year that the man loathed her. And I am with Kiki that Lenny losing weight and beefing up was not for Lisa--it was painfully obvious it was for another woman. 

 

Lisa is a nag, but Lenny has officially become the worst husband in a LONG time. How he spoke to her when the nanny broke her arm was weird. I think he could've easily let Lisa know that calling the ambulance for a broken arm is silly in a calmer manner. He was snappy. Jesus.

Yes, I found the scene with the nanny breaking her arm strange too.  I get Lenny's point and Lisa wasn't listening to him at all, but he was such a condescending jerk to her.   And to just get the nanny some ice and an uber?  They could have dropped the women off themselves or had one of their employees drive her.   

I have mixed feelings about Lisa acting out.  I do believe there were problems, but I also believed she thought they had solved them or would solve them.  I don't think she would go on and on about how great her marriage was if she thought it was in that big of trouble.    And, honestly, Lenny has always low key seemed to hate Lisa lol.  He's always seemed like an ass.  I guess because he is lol.

I'm happy to hear that Kiki's confessionals were used this season since I heard she had some last season that never aired.

Regarding Lisa, I have a little bit of sympathy for her.. but at the same time, I don't.  There comes a time someone has to take personal responsibility and not have their head buried in the sand.. which she's always had when it came to Lenny.

I've been so excited to watch Miami in the week leading up to the episode drop. It's been a while since I counted the days to a première. The beauty of Miami is that it is both cinematic and widescale but also harks back to the 2010s with its easy mix of individual life stories coalescing around RH drama and Lisa's big marriage implosion, which the editors have been cleverly dropping morsels. Nicole had a small scene with her mom at a restaurant, but it shed light on Nicole as a person -- she's a classic Virgo, obsessed with making everything letter-perfect, but if her family don't meet those high standards, she excoriates them. Her struggle to accept imperfection is part of her type-A personality. 

That's where Miami excels -- we are seeing these women's real lives, as if the camera just happened to be along for the ride. None of it feels like filler, but rather the scenes clarify how fascinating some of the women are (Alexia). By contrast, one woman trying to walk her family through some kind of scripted fakery is Lisa, and for obvious reasons it is just not working. Instead it is laying the groundwork for the marriage implosion to come -- shades of Tamra and Simon on old-school RHOC.

Personally, I would prefer if Adriana, Marysol and Kiki all had mojitos and a place in the opening credits, but in the context of the show,  they are just as much RHs as Guerdy, et al. These are not traditional FOHs, but that concept always made OG Miami stand out from the crowd. Martina is a great house-partner and here to play the game.

Still adore (and feel weirdly protective of) Julia. I was absolutely not convinced by Larsa last year, and felt she was overhyped. However, so far this season, Larsa is delivering, ready to bring some drama with Lisa without letting it get too toxic. I'm not sure I like her, but I recognise that she is currently giving RHOM what it needs (so far).

Top-tier RH.

SLC

The editors are doing an awful lot to show the truth of what the women are actually saying. 

I still do not understand Whitney’s issue with Heather actually is. I did not hear a single word that described anything logical. 

I have no sympathy for Jen Shah and her suicide allegations. She has plead guilty to her crimes. She did it. At this point in the show she is still lying. Her “the bullying is not okay” is a farce.

I look forward to it.

And I agree. POTOMAC has been great. I know RHOM will bring it when I can watch it. And SLC has been typical slow burn chaotic. And so far having here where I live has been hilarious. 

 

 

 

And oooooooo how I cackled and hollored.

 

Mary Crosby...gone, but most definitely not forgotten. hehe. 

 

 

I saaawwww!!!! And I saw clips and it looks so much better moving. So happy they did not leave out Kiki's confessionals this season. 

 

And I don't know if you read the synopsises for the next few episodes but it sounds like they confirm some filming at the nightclub from that article I posted months ago when Larsa and Lisa had the run-in. I hope the cameras caught EVERYTHING.

MIAMI:

Yet another stellar episode. Overall, Lenny is a monster. How he wanted to go play tennis instead of taking care of his children was appalling. And then demanding Lisa and the kids get out the house is even worse. I hope Lisa takes him to the cleaners. 

This show does not need cast fights and rifts b/c their personal dramas end up being WAY more entertaining. 

And I think Martina is gonna leave Julia very shortly. Did Julia honestly believe her kids were going to live with her forever? She better create new hobbies and routines or her ass will end up like Lisa.

    • The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it.
    • As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go.

    • Stephanie writing a novel is odd.  She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type.  Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's?  That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC.  Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence.  And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.
    • And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
    • Anita Dupree is Ruth Marshall from Generations. Ruth also a past of being a singer who gave it up because of raising a family and having a husband.

    • Your right, as opposed to other matriarchs, even Nancy Hughes, Bert had a vital life outside of her family. She wasn't just sitting in her kitchen waiting for someone to stop by and cry. She volunteered, and later (thanks actually to Pam Long) had a job running the Patient Advocacy program, had friends, it didn't seem weird if she was at a party or an event, (with Nancy even with Marland it was like she was tagging along and every felt responsible for including her)  Bert was kind of a role model for aging gracefully and independently. I dont understand why they didnt bring a recast Mike and Hope back when Alan returned.  Your right, his animosity towards Ed and his branch, seemed forced....but not as much as the years of Alan hating on the Lewis family, then even worse, the Coopers..(like they would be a match for Alan..they would be totally beneath his notice.) They should have had Mike in constant oppostion to Alan and Roger (Ed was too docile and had his own problems at home) especially if Alan was involved with Alex.
    • Loving the show these days, one week into the post Ron era and I am feeling the difference. First off, thrilled to see Steve and Kayla together, and with their daughter. Ron never cared about this legacy couple. Shawn asking Steve to help him steal the drug is very much, finally, in character, for Bo's son. Bo would absolutely do the same thing. I am excited about this whole story, and now Xander is clearly in the mix. Will Titan provide the resources to help Kayla synthesize the drug, save Bo, and then take credit?  Leo was not too bad today but he is still obnoxious. Gabi and Philip though... now that has more spark than she has ever had with dull JJ. Here for this! Especially since it seems he gets to keep his stolen Co CEO job (and honestly, he should, Victor would want him at Titan. I think the solution is Xander gets Titan and Philip gets Dimera).  I liked Xander and Alex too, it is good to see them working together after the whole mess up last year with their names. Stephanie's book was an odd thing. Guess Alex will try to get it published with or without her permission. Kind of rude to just walk off with it.
