RHOP

 

When I heard flop, I was dreading watching this past Sunday's episode. The episode before that was a bore even with the little moments. But you know what...I liked this one.

 

I felt it was giving some old school RHOP even thought nothing much happened. I mean we got individual scenes. We got events. But perhaps what stood out more for me versus the last few episodes was that I felt that the majority (rather than one/two/half) of the cast came out to play. Or even played with the current divide. It was also telling AGAIN that without Gizelle, the group got along better. 

 

And even the feud between Wendy and NeckHo did not bother me. Well, it bothered me. But this time I felt it was moving where it needed to go because EVERYONE in the audience was now other it. Especially since we are past the halfway point of the season. I already said I felt this could have been resolved with a one-on-one sit-down. And it seems like that is coming in the next episode (which is NOT next week), but it already does not look like it is going to be good. I felt NeckHo stepped up and started to do the right thing, but now Wendy is being stubborn. And I literally 'ugh' at my television watching her taking two steps back. 

 

Why couldn't they be the much more HW/petty feud like La Dame v Messy Mia? Lol. I loved the friendship recovery joke lived on. And then they had a go at each other...not once, but TWICE?? Mia ain't no match for La Dame Grande, but it was funny to watch. 

 

And that does not even begin to touch the surface of some of the other things going on...the weed party with (mostly? cuz didn't Candiace run to her car with some) no weed. How dreadful (c) Dwight from RHOA. But such a HW staple to see everyone shading Wendy and Happy Eddie's party for that reason. And don't get me started on NeckHo's unpack party cuz...aren't you rich? Why have your new friends unpack YOUR stuff? That said...it was nice to see a little more of NeckHo's life which has been shown very sparsely. And then that talk between Gordon and Mia...with the foreshadowing from La Dame later on...was interesting. At least to me. 

 

Which makes it all more disappointing that they are taking a break on an already troubled season when it appeared as of this episode there might be some momentum.

 

LA DAME. An activated Grande Dame is a GREAT Grande Dame. And she was all over his. Fun shade. Interacting with folk. Ignoring Cha Cha. Feuding with Mia. She was fun.

 

GIZELLE. Meh.

I would be happy to note that it was good that she was at showing up at events with people she hates the cast, but look at her. She be sitting there being hateful and bitter. Where's SUMMER HOUSE BoyToy? Looks like she needs a piece. Cuz her comments about Chris was just...how can she hate on his looks when the WHOLE audience saw her age before our eyes when Monique cracked her face with the binder at the S5 reunion?

 

ROBYN JUAN'S ROOMMATE. Well...at least she tried something. Even if it was silly and had to of course do with La Dame.

 

ASHLEY. Well-fashioned Lint.

 

CANDIACE. Surprisingly, nothing to say. I felt she basically sat back and watched everyone else be messy.

 

MIA. MVP really. Give that personal tea with G. Go up (and fail) with La Dame. Give us some moment. She's been working all season and good for her.

 

NECKHO. First time I really liked her. Or at least I started to warm up to her. And good on her for (finally) stepping forward to Wendy and tried to get a sit-down started with Wendy so they can put this feud behind them. But her just going to Wendy's event was a step in the right direction. And cuz it needs to be said again...NO to a party where she tried to get anyone other than herself to unpack her stuff.

 

WENDY. I've been enjoying Wendy so far. Not the case this time. She was making all the wrong moves. A weed party with no weed. Doubling down on disliking NeckHo when NeckHo was attempting the olive branch. I am starting to feel some tension with her and Candiace. And even Production appears to be gunning for her. How do I know? Production is doing that thing that the old Production used to do with Porsha on RHOA when they did the edit to make Porsha look like the one in the right. This one was doing Wendy that way, but in the wrong. Erasing all the times Gizelle gave to Wendy to make it look like Wendy has been in the wrong when they gave EQUALLY. Uh oh. Tread lightly, Zen Wen. This might be your last season.

 

Well...I look forward to the next new episode.

 

IKR. I was like...now wait a minute!!!

I was rooting for Wendy, mainly because of the GEB's icing her, but she's icing herself right off this show the way she's behaving towards Nneka. Now she just looks foolish. 

LOL at the continued interaction, or lack thereof, between Karen and Charrisse. I almost want this heifer back, if nothing else because she's not a huge part of group divide.

Thank you!

 

RHOA

Speaking of the reboot news, I have a wild idea. RHOP's Mia should join it as a Friend Of. Hear me out

Her new man lives in Atlanta. I cant see Mia going to RHOA full time bc she is co-parenting with Gordon in the DMV. But I can see her making visits to ATL and having her new relationship play out there. She can come play with the girls in a friend capacity. They could make their domestic trip to DC and Mia can host it for them. She's messy but fun messy, not dark like Marlo. She actually reminds me alot like Porsha so it could be interesting seeing them interact.


Plus she also knows Peter and he's been going though a whole mess and she could be the plug to get him back on tv bc love or hate him, he was always entertaining. She knows more of his tea and I want to see what she is ready to let spill


She's also bi and we know that many of the ATL girls are lesbians so she can turn the men and women out. She's unpredictable!

Should Mia Join?

    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
