Well...Bravo apparently released Episode 3 early (apparently they did this with NY last week with an episode, too) and it is good to see that rumor about the ladies getting into it with Gizelle is true. 

 

 

Now I'm hearing it might be on tonight. A mess!!! But...good mess.

Gizelle really blew it in episode 2 and it appears that Ashley joins her in really blowing it in episode 3. They could have played it graciously and then Karen would have looked like the insensitive one...but no, their true motivations could not be held back and Gizelle and Ashley came off horribly.

Karen inviting all of them to an event honouring her the same night as Gizelle's event? Tacky, and something Karen has done in the past. However, Karen advised that there would be transportation so the women could attend both events. Classy, and when they told her they were leaving her event around 7:30pm, she was nothing but nice about it.

Gizelle showed her ass, yet again, by throwing out Stacey and Mia and the others. This GNA wellness farce (they only have 5 pieces of white labelled merch on the site) being combined with an event to raise funds for brain tumour research was clearly only about Gizelle lapping up praise.

Ashley really looked like an idiot given she told the women to be there by 8pm, which they complied with. She was only too happy to throw those women under the bus when Gizelle started moaning that they were rude. For Ashley to say "it is 8:04" and then bring down the donation QR code? Bitch, please.

Karen was dead wrong! With all she has going on, she should be more humble but what she did to Gizelle last night was the actions of a villian and I cant ride with her on that. Trying o one up Gizelle and send that invite the morning of her event was tacky and it was tacky of the girls to even go considering they already made a commitment to Gizelle. I respect Vivien for how she handled it. Gizelle kicking them out was reminding me of Nene in season 4. Gizelle is the one in the right here.

Stacy is beautiful and Im enjoying her so far. She really reminds me of Kenya. Not only does she look like her but she is also from Detroit!

Glad we finally saw Keairna. She is going to give us FASHIONS! Love her style. Now Gizelle was on some BS not inviting her to Karen's bday. She only had a limited number of seats? So why she invite Jassi whom we dont know?

The Gizelle/Wendy scene was kinda anticlimatic but im glad it happened. Their issues were so petty and there was no reason why they couldnt have moved on years ago

I'm glad you posted this, because I was ready to tear Wendy a new one for running to Gizelle in her most overpriced hoochie-bird outfit for that womp-womp of a lunch. Giz didn't even bother to change out of her floral hoisedress! It appeared as if Wendy was letting the whole mess fly by, like the root of the fight was Gizelle not saying hello to Wendy at some event? When all I remember with Gizelle doubling down at reunion (despite Andy giving her about 12 outs) on her assertion that it was cool that Wendy got assaulted by Mia "because I. Don't. Like. Huh." So I'm glad Wendy did namecheck the incident and im side-eying Production for once again covering for that harpy. 

Haven't seen the gala event yet  so maybe my view on Gizelle will soften. However, I did love seeing Keairna again. I wondered why she wasn't part of the show this season.

So was I. People were mad before I watched the episode and I saw Wendy's tweet. And then I saw the episode. And while given the results of what happened I'm Team Gizelle (I know shocked), I was not Team Gizelle on this. And I saw why people saw red. After all, their whole feud started with Gizelle, and Wendy had the right to bring that up. We all had to deal with their feud for THREE YEARS. How dare Production let Gizelle get away with accountability, moreso when Gizelle doing so would be the only way people would be on her side. The fact most STILL aren't on her side after last night's episode says a lot about the hatred for Gizelle...and I would think that if Production are trying to soften up Gizelle again for the audience, they have to have the common sense to know there is only one way to do that...she has to OWN her [!@#$%^&*]. 

 

As for Keiarna...she's a Housewife this season baby!!!

 As for why she was not around, I won't spoil that for you.  But I can't wait for your reaction to her and the other new housewife. I love them both. And the fact they have so many FOHs to play with this season outside of Cha Cha is making the show so vibrant again. I love it.

Well, going forward for THESE girls, they are going to have to always have a Hamptons trip. I thought their trip last season was funny. THIS YEAR, it is already off to a good if messy start. And some of that is because the girls are now used to each other versus last season where they were getting to know each other.

 

That said...yeeeeah, the ticking time bomb that is Ubah vs Brynn continued throughout this episode. And while it was stopped for (hehe. 'Pineapple.') now, yeah, I can see it coming. Ubah established last season that she's chill to a fault, but if she feels disrespected, she will explode on you. And Brynn is not above exploding herself. And I think that will be what will happen because Ubah does have the girls' number...especially Brynn's.

 

It has been established that the girls be talking behind each other's back. And then when the one who everyone was talking about finds out, it has turned into a whole other thing rather than a simple misunderstanding. So Ubah ain't wrong to say it or express that she does not feel comfortable with all the mess or having her words twisted for a show. And Brynn sadly has been all about making a show. So someone pointing out how insensitive or fake Brynn is being was going to make Brynn feel a way.

 

The fact that they STILL are having fun so far is a testament. And fun to watch for the audience. 

 

ERIN. Now Erin...lol. Speaking of people pot stirring, here she was trying to pot stir between Ubah/Sai and Raquel. And that just made Ubah even more annoyed. Glad that was cleared up quickly. Also glad that her and Jenna can joke about the car incident now.

 

JESSEL. She was just there to look good and gave such good Confessional moments. She was definitely giving in on the joke, and I was not hating it. Oh and her kitchen shade was awesome.

 

SAI. Someone else that was in on the joke. Cuz her and the Lunch Box...right after I just made a comment about Erin better have food ready versus last season...I DIED. lol. Meanwhile, her vs Brynn. Brynn came out looking sooooo bad. Worse when you factored in that Sai apologized to everyone in a group text. She simply wanted to express her feelings and how Brynn made her feel to only feel disrespected by Brynn. I liked Ubah tried to stand up for her. 

 

JENNA. Speaking of bad looks...shame on you, Jenna!! YOU were the one whom word was what started Brynn vs Sai in the season opener. So now to make Brynn feel better, Jenna conveniently 'forgot what she said.' Yeeeeah no. 

 

RAQUEL. Loved her backstory. She really has done a LOT. AND a model? Wow. She truly has been living. And glad she made her way out of a potential petty feud with Ubah/Sai.

 

UBAH. Perhaps her delivery was wrong. And okay it was Sai's problem more than it was her problem, but Ubah was still telling the truth about Brynn. And she has that right...after all, Brynn was the one who told off about her man. And has been stirring the pot since the season started. And now Brynn is running around disrespecting her and the other ladies. No wonder she is slowly losing her fun light. 

 

BRYNN. Just like La Dame on this week's POTOMAC, I love you, but I cannot defend what you did. It was so clear as day. So was her attempts to deflect. She can't be coy sexpot one moment, stir the pot the next minute, and then try to be the victim for something you did yourself the next. It was exhausting. And she really just seem mad that Ubah has now caught on to what she's doing and rightly calling her out on it because it is messing with the group dynamic.

 

Good episode. Ready for next week's mess...

 Which reminds me...does anyone know if OC is at 8pm or 9pm as well cuz I'm still playing catch-up with last season. 

 

Last week RHOP was low (especially for RHOP) however if I remember correctly ABOVE every show BUT RHOC. At the time, I wondered if it was on at 9 or 8 since my system (well, my shady landlord) kept my tv down and how that would affect the ratings. Cuz right now DUBAI, RHOM, AND SLC were/are on at 9PM here and I remember so many fans being livid at that and not watching versus if you put a HW show on at 8PM...which everyone is used to. I also wanted to see how other Bravo shows in the 9 PM slot were doing for comparison.

See, now you are thinking like a top-tier RH producer. I'm not sure this crew running RHOP are that, but I am betting on what happened this episode being dragged out and talked about all season long.

By the way, I like newbie Stacey. Does she remind anybody a little of newbie Katie on OC?

    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.
    • The title track from the follow-up album Hot On the Trail is also co-written by Val Jean:

    • I read an interview with Lenore Kasdorf and she had said was asked back to GL in 1987 but she turned it down but she said now with Michael (Roger) and Maureen (Holly) back, she would be more interested in returning. This had to be around 1989 and I think in SOD (more of a where are they now? type of article)
    • Beyond what was listed, I think there are a few other moments early on - Nixon tested the waters of having a black female character in a larger supporting part on AW, helping to pave the way for Carla and Sadie on OLTL. Rachel/Ada is in some ways a template for Carla/Sadie, although Carla was much more tormented and her scheming was from preservation.  Jordan Charney eventually arrived at OLTL after his AW success, although that was not duplicated. Doris Belack's success was, several times over.  
    • Jonathan Kellerman has written 40 novels centered on the character of Alex Delaware, with the first being When the Bough Breaks from 1985. One of the aspects of the series which I find so appealing is that characters grow, evolve and change as time goes on. They act and react in a believable, human fashion. While each book tells one complete story, certain relationship threads can continue as the series evolves. Occasional references to the past (from previous novels) also make the readers feel like we know the characters intimately; that we are "living" with them through the years. Actor John Rubenstein (of the 1970s' TV series Family) narrates the audiobooks, and he is perfectly cast. I've never read or listened to an Alex Delaware story which I did not enjoy.
    • This was me! I finally got caught up yesterday and even then, I still may wait until Friday to binge these two episodes. I find that I can watch GH in the background because the pacing is so slow but I must be able to devote my full attention to BTG because so much happens.

    • Article discussing the state of daytime in 1971. The 3 networks were competitive for the first time thus leading to the 'daytime wars' of the 70's, with shows cancelled, soaps expanding etc. The high drama of network daytime CBS, reigning champion of the dollar -profitable weekday schedule, faces toughest challenge in 13 years. Although CBS is virtually unchallenged as the ratings leader in nighttime, the picture in daytime, where CBS also leads, is as different as day from night. To begin with, costs of programing are much lower in daytime than in nighttime TV, and the profitability thus potentially higher. For this reason alone, network rivalry in this area is traditionally intense, although not so frequently subject to public view. This year, particularly, the developments in daytime programing are dramatic. It is the first time in 13 years that CBS has been threatened seriously. It continues in the leadership position, but both NBC and ABC are nipping at its heels; in the season to date, CBS is but three tenths of a percentage point ahead of NBC, and but two-thirds of a percentage point in front of ABC. Average ratings for network programing in the daytime periods (Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. -4:30 p.m. EST) this season stand at CBS 7.6, NBC 7.3 and ABC 7.0, giving CBS an edge of 4% above NBC and 9% over ABC. In the similar period of 1970, CBS's lead was more impressive: 8.4 vs. NBC's 6.9 and ABC's 5.9. It is necessary to go back 13 years to find an NBC daytime performance comparable to this year's -and only twice within that period has NBC showed up as well. In the 1958 -59 sea- son, CBS and NBC were in a tie-a 7.7 rating for each -while ABC was a poor third, just starting on its historic "Operation Daybreak" (in which ABC began the so- called scatter plan in daytime, with advertisers buying participations). ABC's rating then: 3.6. NBC again broke through in daytime in the 1961 -62 season: CBS 7.6, NBC 7.1 and ABC 4.1. In the intervening years, daytime television on the weekdays belonged to CBS. It was at perhaps the crest of its leadership in the 1965 -66 season. CBS then had a 4.5 percentage -point advantage over NBC (CBS 10.6, NBC 6.1 and ABC 4.7). CBS officials place the "big turn" in daytime in the 1962 -63 season with the catchy power of the Password game in the lineup. In that season, CBS came up with a three -percentage -point lead over NBC -CBS 9.2, NBC 6.2 and ABC 3.9. From then on it was CBS by a comfortable margin, season after season. ABC's daytime performance has followed the upward curve. While -as CBS officials readily concede -CBS had perhaps nowhere to go but down, ABC could experiment in its scheduling, and hopefully only go up. It did, but not immediately. After a steady climb, ABC's breakthrough occurred in the 1969 -70 season (CBS 9.2, NBC 7.1 and ABC 7.0) with the network gaining ground with its game show scheduling of such vehicles as Let's Make a Deal. Although ABC failed to hold that showing in the 1970 -71 season (CBS 8.9, NBC 7.6 and ABC 6.4), it is now performing at its best daytime level in history. ABC authorities say that network has been building for what might appear to be at least near parity in weekday programing. They cite Let's Make a Deal as having "started things up" with General Hospital and One Life to Live giving additional impetus to the movement. From ABC's point of view, the crucial change in daytime audiences occurred in 1969 when audience shares foretold a "big difference." The real improvement and change in daytime, they say, started in the third quarter of 1971. That followed a repositioning of two daytime staples -ironically Password, CBS's 1962 -63 vintage powerhouse, and Love, American Style. The former series was punched into a new spot in the schedule last spring: Love followed in the summer (the series is still strong in ABC's nighttime lineup). Although ABC executives speak guardedly of daytime audiences more on a level with those of CBS and NBC, the two challenged networks demur. ABC, they note, is nowhere near parity in daytime, although the improvement is admittedly impressive. For one thing, they contend, ABC does not program during the same hours as do NBC and CBS, and ABC carries one hour less than the other two networks in the daytime period. Moreover, they claim the hours that ABC does not program are those with least audience potential. (CBS and NBC start the schedule - excluding Today on NBC and Captain Kangaroo on CBS-at 10 a.m., take a hiatus for a half -hour at 1 p.m., return at 1:30 and program through to 4:30 p.m. ABC starts at 11:30 a.m., does not pause at 1 p.m. but continues through to 4:30.) ABC counters that not only are daytime clearances holding this season, they are actually showing improvement. In numbers, ABC is clearing an average 153 stations live (88.2% coverage) and an average 26 outlets delayed basis (4.4% coverage) for a total 179 stations representing a 92.6% coverage. Last season, clearances were 149 stations live (87.7% coverage), 27 on delays (4.4% ) for a total 176 stations representing a 92.1% coverage. NBC authorities state flatly that their network is in its "strongest daytime position in 10 years -since late 1961." They note how the margin has narrowed between NBC and CBS since last fall; assert NBC has invested money and time in daytime serials, while CBS's "are wearing thin" (the researchers at NBC point to a general lowering of share levels of CBS drama serials in 1971 vs. 1970). ABC's assessment agrees, and also emphasizes the drop in appeal of CBS's soaps, intimating a possible loss in "quality control." CBS, while not denying the declines in its soaps, refuses to accept the implication that the drama serial may be curtailed. (CBS has eight soaps compared with NBC's five and ABC's three). Four of CBS's shows are Procter & Gamble vehicles: As the World Turns, Search for Tomorrow, Guiding Light and Edge of Night. CBS authorities say you can be sure P &G as well as CBS programers are working on plans to strengthen their respective properties. CBS officials contend the drama serial not only is still well up in share (although off from prior years) at the network but continues as the most "flexible" among daytime entries. If a game show starts to plummet, they say, there's not much that can be done to "change" the format. With soaps, a fall -off in viewer interest can be countered by extensive changes in storyline and /or characters; a role can be written in or out of a script almost at will. CBS cites just such a turnaround accomplished with Love is a Many  Splendored Thing. Fred Silverman, then in charge of daytime programing at CBS (and now in charge of the whole ball game), effected a series of changes until "only the title and the music were recognizable." The surgery worked. For years, CBS has been conscious of the adage that change for the sake of change, when the network is on top, entails needless risk. But the numbers have changed now and CBS must contend with the altered picture. "Everybody is ashamed of daytime," one CBS executive admits. Changes will be made. The first quick snip comes Dec. 20 when My Three Sons replaces The Beverly Hillbillies in the 10:30 -11 a.m. period. Hillbillies is one of three shows rated lowest on the CBS daytime schedule -the others are the seemingly tireless Lucy and Gomer Pyle (the latter, at least, considered by CBS officials as a candidate for cancellation.) Snips two, three and onward may be expected to follow in rapid succession.
    • That's me - in a nutshell. But, it's because BTG is so damn good! I also wondered who was watching soccer during the day, mid-week, or even watching soccer at all. However, I know SOOOO many people that never followed soaps that were downright shocked that a new soap premiered in 2025. Why? Because they didn't know that people still watch TV during the day, mid-week, or still watched soaps at all. Many also didn't realize that soaps streamed, too. So, I feel foolish, but I guess I don't have all the answers with regard to the programming of major TV networks. I'm glad they have people that focus on these things, because that is how we got BTG in the first place.
