OC this season is excellent. As you say, not a single filler episode and the season flew by.

Emily is really skilled at managing her relationships on the show. Katie has clearly gotten under Heather's skin and I love it. Heather is mean and I doubt anyone on the cast, hell, any waiter in Los Angeles, would disagree.  

I feel the same way for Sonja. May she have many happy, healthy years in her West Palm Beach abode. 

Perfect description. I just want to add that Ashley is trash for making the comment to K about her scar when she is indirectly responsible for it. Jassi has her number and is not afraid to tangle. 

Potomac IS so back. I am loving this season.

Last season gave me no hope they could have this type of come back but I have been so happy to see it. The newbies all work for me. Jacqueline is pathetic. She’s gonna learn to leave Karen alone. And picking the Mia horse when yall can barely stand each other is dumb. They’ve truly overestimated Mia’s popularity.

RHOP

 

From start to finish, this episode was EVERYTHING!!! And like the rest of you, YEEEESSS WE ARE BACK!!!! Never should have counted the flutes out. I guess it was Eric's fault. lol. 

 

After last week's cliffhanger of a 'bombshell' that failed horribly, La Dame struck back and got those heffas together. And the fact that Mia was still trying to convent members use the newbies to try to get to Karen. Yeah...it's clear that this La Dame vs Messy Mia for the throne is far from over regardless of how many times La Dame keeps handing them their asses. Regardless of how well she does it. Regardless of how technically La Dame is the one in the wrong and there is so much to be used against her. Her Confessional with the fake darts said it all...she's Teflon.

 

Meanwhile, the newbies continued to impress. Up until now, I would say Stacey and (especially) Jassi have been doing all the heavy lifting. Especially Stacy with her subtle shade and authentic confusion, but BAY-BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keiarna came in swinging AND with the subtle shade cuz 'The Face. Glass.' is still stuck in my head. And the fact so many people did not get it given all the times online people pick on Mia's skin. But I got it. Slick as heck. But her vs Mia AND gathering Jacqueline was one for the ages. And I have already rewinded that too many times lmao. And you all know I love Mia, but they went toe to toe with each other. Stacey stayed on Ashley's neck, too. And Wendy did an alley oops. It was crazy.

 

And we got a real moment with Gizelle and her kids. And outside of Pastor Holy Whore, it was such a great awww moment. Say what you will about Gizelle, but she is a great mother. And we watched them kids grow up on the show. 

 

Just such a great episode.

 

LA DAME. Stacey said it best...they kept coming for La Dame every five minutes. If it wasn't the ambush at the table, they were coming for her at breakfast. And then even AFTER being handed their butts, they were still trying to come at La Dame. DIDN'T...FIND...HER. lol. The word maneuvering that La Dame was doing at that ambush dinner was something else. And the fact that the tea was from THREE years ago??? All that did was show that Mia ain't nobody's friend. Jacqueline, take note.

 Because if Mia can try to out La Dame after she was the one who had her back and brought her into the group in Season 6, then she really can't be trusted. I did like that Mia WAS right though. Cuz La Dame was already ready at the breakfast. And while Keiarna did the most fighting...La Dame got Jacqueline good with her 25 counts man!! Jacqueline couldn't handle it. lmao. That La Dame let her hang herself first was delicious. And now we have a real cliffhanger moment at the end with La Dame, Stacey, and Jassi...and given how well they have all gotten along...it will be interesting to see what move La Dame makes next. Honorable mention: La Dame's Confessional with the boxing gloves. lol.

 

GIZELLE. Awwww the little babies.  I can't believe that we literally watched them grow up on this show. And they gave us so many moments of them reading their mama. lol. But it was good. Also good...was Gizelle reaching out to Wendy. Who would have thought?

 

ASHLEY. Why is she here again? I still can't believe that the Housewife who used to be so cunning and messy...has taken over Robyn's spot of being the punching bag who gets consistently dragged. Because Stacey stayed with her heel on her neck. And meanwhile, even Wendy told her to STFU. And no matter how she tried, no one was letting her really butt into any of the conversations. Or worse, ignoring her. Could this be Ash's last season cuz she is giving nothing?

 

WENDY. HEY, HEY, 4OTH!!!! lol. While I am side-eying Mia for having nothing planned (a doctor's trip? Really?), I do like that the ladies at least came together for her at midnight. I think my favorite part was 'is the pool heated?' lol. All Wendy cared about was her birthday. As someone who also celebrate milestone (I went to San Fran for the first time for my 40th), I understand. Meanwhile, she had La Dame's back like a real sister and I enjoyed every moment of it. And LOVE Drunk Wendy done. Cuz her and Stacey with 'now everybody has a past.' LOL!!!

 

MIA. GIRL, STOP. THREE YEARS AGO stale tea??? REALLY??? smh. I called it when she was alone in the car with La Dame, but she has been coming for La Dame all this trip. And the sad thing was she was so sloppy if the approach is supposed to be throw the rock and hide the hand. Or was it to send in the sidekick. None of her stuff was landing. It was giving Wiley Coyote. Will next week's plan work, or will La Dame speed away? That said...there were only two moments that were good from Mia this week. Her vs Keiarna were excellent, because they both got licks. Snitches was nasty, but K got her lick back with the 'The Face. Glass' comment. And neither of them were flabbergasted, just back and forth. And the other moment was her talking to Jacqueline about her storyline the guys. Was it a set-up talk? For sure. But it was still the most authentic thing from her because that's what happens with your BFF...they spill truth. And while Jacqueline has disappointed me a lot this season...for a moment, the Mia/Jacqueline dynamic that I wished was being explored that was in the last few seasons came back. And I could tell there was so much there to mine. Not Mia and her representative silliness.

 

STACEY. 'Who knows what's true...well...it is true Mia was a stripper, right? Mia was a stripper.' That Confessional took me all the way out. She is so darn authentic and funny. She also gave this episode. Whether it was her having La Dame's back, keeping that heel on Ashley's neck, or being a bone collector for Messy Mia, she stayed giving. We even saw TJ for a moment. And I had an awww moment seeing that Stacey felt comfortable showing him to Wendy. Which made them shading Ashley ('now everybody has a past!) that more fun. 

 

KEIARNA. MVP for me!!! She got tired of all the Wiley Coyote antics and let people know what time it was. I don't know what I like more...the subtle shade of 'The face. Glass' or 'are you okay?' when she checked Jacqueline or 'you ARE the street' to Mia's crater face? She was gathering. I just wished she did not allow Ashley to distract her by reminding her of her fight with Sesame Street. I thought she won that verbal fight with Mia...moreso because she winded up with a flute simply by being herself.

 

Did I mention the episode has such rewatchable value? Could we say that about POTOMAC last season? Any episode? 

 

Yeah...totally back.

I would slightly disagree with your statement that RHONY sucks (although I am worried about Eric Fuller's deepening malign influence), but nevertheless, your post was . And agree with @Antoyne -- Potomac is back! I didn't expect the three newbies to give as much as they have, but I'm literally like Robyn who? Candiace who? This time last season, we had to suffer through three long, painfully dull, Austin TX episodes. This year, we've got Ashley and Jacqueline getting their asses deservedly handed to them. Ashley has always ducked any accountability for her underhanded actions (the fight at GnA, for example) -- Keiarna hasn't forgotten, though, and I hope she keeps bringing it up.

Meanwhile, Mia's Mouthpiece thought she could make a bid for relevancy by bringing down Karen, but Karen barely broke a sweat and effectively backed that fool into a corner with her own words.

Wendy always feels forced and cringe to me, pretending this is the best birthday ever when we know this celebration is, at best, for the cameras. Those smirks when Mia came for Karen also weren't particularly nice for someone who is supposedly her close friend. And her sneering reaction to Stacey's beau in the VTs confirms my view that Wendy is a snob, always putting down the people she thinks are less than her while trying to kiss up to the Gizelles of this world.

I will admit, the footage of tiny Adore, Angel and Grace was so cute. I can't believe Potomac has been on the airwaves that long. Pastor HW gave a speech about Gizelle's dad which made it sound like her dad was pretty much the main father figure for those three girls, and not the trifling Pastor. Which does not surprise me in the least. Gizelle's father seems like he was a truly stand-up, honorable man.

People are acting like Budget Kim Kardashian, aka Mia, is the villain this season, but she's always been like this! An untrustworthy fairweather friend and wife. I'm not even going to touch on the manipulative 'I love you' said to G on the phone.

You touched on something that’s so crazy to me, I don’t even think about or notice Candiace and Robyn are gone. Usually losing two long term vets would be felt a lot harder but the newbies are working so well.

Karen effortlessly destroying Jacqueline multiple days in a row should be studied by newbies the next time they come on a show and target a vet like Karen. This woman is literally Teflon

BH: The only thing I liked about Terri DeMarco was her husband. Now, you got nada. 

PHOP: I co-sign the love on Potomac's resurgence. 

Watching the latest episode, I feel they are nicely building up the next era/generation of Potomac, and soon it'll just be the 2 elders (Grande Dame and Gizelle) hanging out with youngsters. I'm beginning to wonder if this'll be Ashley's final season. 

That said, I'm glad a lot of the newbies aren't on the Mia train(wreck) because she's messy at playing the Housewives game, not to mention her overall ick factor with bringing her children into her fkked up love life. 

(Keeping my response short, as SON is kinda jenky for me these days, with the pop-ups slowing down my computer)

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
