SLC

 

Wait! People catching hands? lol. But that was a good finale. Not as good as last season (nice try with the speech, Heather, but that was no receipts, screenshot speech.  ), but still was entertaining as all get out. Because just like with the SLC Dinner Party from Hell, the cast was already on their way to the last dinner 17 MINUTES IN...you knew you were about to get a show. And this...??? WOW.

 

The shockingly many times Mary had Little Girl's back against any and all gang-ups. Mary's conversation (in front of the group) with Angie K. Heather and the phone game. And Angie K's text message...not to mention the return of S5 Opener Whit with the bombshell that sent Lisa (and Meredith) spiraling. 

 

So well done. 

 

LISA. Heather wasn't wrong. Lisa might be allergic to themes, but she most def ain't allergic to a theme party that is all about her. RME. At this point, Lisa has become such an easy target. And how Little Girl made sport of her, in light of the fact they were getting along, should be studied. Now the stuff with UpAndAdam...did they forget that Whit had him on the phone in an episode at the start of the season? Lisa is the only SLC Housewife that has a liquor brand so...was UpAndAdam being messy to start drama on the show or...??? Meanwhile, how Lisa reacted to Whit's text message is EXACTLY what I meant when she broke down crying and it felt like a genuine moment with Angie K and Bob last episode and this just came across as performative. She knew Whit got her, and a hit dog will holler. And I didn't at all like her lack of self-awareness to bring Angie K's hubby into that mess when the fight had nothing to do with her. Weak sauce.

 

HEATHER. Again...nice try with the speech. 😜  And she was not wrong about the Lisa theme party. And I actually did like she received Mary's text message because it was all true. Just looked at her text about her own cousin. She has allowed Production this show to go to her head, and it has shown for a long time. And now she has a thinner bod and is Lisa's BFF which she has wanted since Day 1. And like a scene from an 80s/90s movie, it turned her into a mean girl. Now...is it really about found self-confidence, or was she just a mean girl all along. Let's see if she proves Mary wrong. 

 

MEREDITH. smh. How the mighty have fallen. How is it that the show's soap heroine has fallen to trying to find moments? Girl, you were the moment. Well, she did her one solid by getting into the middle of the Little Girl vs Lisa fight by revealing the tea about UpAndAdam. And she's lucky Heather ran interference with the phone game because Mary was about to eat her and Lisa up. Defending Little Girl of all people. 

 

MARY. MVP. No question at that. She stuck the landing for her renaissance on this show. She still gave good moments as she revealed her vulnerabilities. How Angie K running to comfort Britini and how that turned into something bigger. Then her conversation with Angie K...in front of EVERYONE??? GROWTH. Because the Mary of Season 1 would NEVER. And the talk about abandonment issues and found family really hit home with me so I got in feelings given some of my own personal issues going on currently. And because I cannot say it enough...she low-key had Little Girl's back throughout the episode. LITTLE GIRL. The Mary of Season 2 would NEVER. Again...GROWTH.

 

ANGIE K. You would think these ladies would have learned by now to not talk about Angie K's marriage. And yet there was Lisa using it to deflect off the fact that S5 Opener Whit was coming for hers. Smh. Outside of that, I loved her fighting for her hard-won friendship with Mary. And her text message....ooooo. 

 

BOB. Outside of the phone game and her text message, she was a non-entity this episode for me.

 

WHITNEY. Girl, you earned me calling you by your real name. LOL!!!  Because she was giving Ashley Darby kind of pot-stirring and mess!!! I was hoping that she would stick the landing of showing off the Whitney we saw in the season five opener and she did not disappoint. In fact, they COULD...NOT...TAKE...HER. I'm still laughing at her sticking her finger in Lisa's face. The thing with the tags. Her not backing down...though she did fumble for words a bit...when Meredith ambushed her with the UpAndAdam tea. And then the coup de grace...her text message. Come on, Girl...you knew that would set Lisa off cuz you did the cardinal HW sin...talking about the husband. And set Lisa off it did. But unlike earlier when Lisa tried to snatch up Whit's wig, Lisa ran. Score one for Whit. Score two for sending Meredith (Whit's other rival this season) right after her. If she is like this for the reunion, I'll be right with her. 

 

Fingers crossed, my tv system gets fixed so I can watch. 

@Taoboi I finally reached the SLC finale. What a season. What a turnaround! I can't believe that i was going to ditch watching. After last season ended, my take was that I did not like most of the women. Lisa is a superficial narcissist. Little Girl a smug, dirt-digging annoyance. Heather a smug, wannabe-OG, ass-kissing, pretend-victim. I liked Meredith but she was erratic. Mary, my fave, had been sidelined halfway through the last season. Anti-heroine Monica had started believing her own hype and blew the reunion big-time. I really feared we would have another S3 on our hands going into S5.

Thank heavens you talked me around, because this was one of the best RH seasons across any RH franchise the last 5-10 years. It's actually a complete fluke/miracle a season like this even occurred. SLC was having trouble gelling it's cast organically as friends. It had sidelined last season's story maker. And yet, it came into S5 light-hearted, the women somewhat bonded by the Monica of it all, Little Girl rightly being called out for her shenanigans as she tries (and fails) to play with the big girls. A wealthy, big-personality newbie, the Bob (!!!), really helped to change the dynamic. FOH Brittani was comic relief. And Angie finally came into her own. I loved her this season; the friendship with Mary helped, but she also seemed imbued with confidence, while last season she felt full of insecurity.

And Mary! This woman has taken her rightful place as the vulnerable heart of the show -- a place that was already unofficially her's in S1, but which Jen Shah coveted, and which Jen Shah schemed to sideline her. I know it's more complicated than that, and I can't speak to the Faith Temple hustling of it all (!!!). All i know is that Mary showed her vulnerabilities multiple times this season, and it made me warm to her even more. In the finale, her telling Angie she felt abandoned by her, and where that came from, her childhood.... it certainly touched me and felt completely genuine, and not an excuse for immature behaviour. Angie and Mary seem to have forged a true bond.

As for the finale dinner.... I loved it. Even though it was scripted as hell. Production sat down and thought 'After last year's finale, we really need to do something that ties up loose ends in dramatic fashion.' Heather in OG-wannabe mode was reciting the script she had learned. She did not expect Mary's text to knock her off her feet, though. Mary's words were tough but truthful, and that's why they hurt Heather. But I will give H props for saying that she was now the more confident person she had always dreamed of being, that she knew she was deep down.

The other texts? Angie's excoriating words to Bronwyn, and i felt bad for the Bob. They were super hurtful. Bronwyn, as flawed as she is, is a great addition, not least the way she exposes that narcissist Lisa who, it looks like, is going to see her marriage in the spotlight next season, as Bronwyn will likely see her's.

Fantastic season focused on organic relationships. Who knew SLC had the old-school, character-driven, back-to-basics RH magic in them? I sure didn't. Now I can't wait to watch reunion!

Same. I originally was not planning on watching Season 5 either due to what happened to Monica, but it was a pretty great season. And that SLC Dinner Party from Hell will always be a favorite. The ladies knew they had to have a superb season after the excellent Season 4. Mission accomplished. There were no filler episodes for me even when there were episodes with no Mary. 

 

Mary, Mary, Mary. Her best season. She was still her, but adding so many layers to her. Showing how a Housewife SHOULD be. Good work. And I liked The Bob for the most part until the end...though I felt any issues I had with her at the end was put aside during the reunion, but you will see for yourself.  And oh, how, I hated Britani, but she DID manage to win me over at the end with her comic relief and honestly her taste in men. I think Production finally found themselves a successful FOH for this show.

 

I can't answer those next two paragraphs lol except to say...I look forward to your thoughts on the reunion since it touches on both.  

 

You said it! The ladies had a lot to prove after Season 4 and the result was a season that was very enjoyable, rewatchable, and old school Housewife season. And currently filming with some tea already spilled.

Yeah, she dodged a bullet.

It bears repeating, Marcus Jordan is a waste of space of an NBA nepo baby.

And she's going to get it. 

 

And it looks like how Kenya described it, too. So good Production is showing it. Now they better show everything, too.

 

What they have a theme! Im surprised and love it

 

Garcelle surprsingly looks GOODT! She's my favorite and only one I can say I love. I like Boz but the rest are rather safe. No bad, but not special

I do like the theme - BH rarely has one, right?

I agree, Garcelle is the best!  I also like Boz and Erika.  The others are pretty safe.  Even Dorit is understated, which is surprising.

RHOBH Reunion: You know what, I think they all look nice. After seeing some of the outrageousness over at M2M, do we really need to see dresses that look like costumes? I'm good. 

Sometimes, we have women with crazy funky dresses where objects are literally obstructing their view or at risk of poking an eye out. Enough of that already. JMO.
