Angel needs to be a one and done. I cant believe the season ended on an unfinished cast trip that she hosted. Activities the day of travel. HUH? And she gets lost so they never do it. And why was she driving instead of hiring a driver? Just wasting everyone's time. Id be so embarrassed to come back if I were her. That was bad promo for her business bc she looks clueless and unprofessional. Totally unacceptable

I also dont like that she lied to the women about spending the night with them when she had no intention of doing so. After rooms got paid for her, Tia and K, she dips out and the disrespectful thing is she didnt even bother to tell Gizelle. HUH? I get why she didnt return bc it was late but she should have communicated this. Honestly, she should have went to her house first after Aspen to get their things and then rejoin the women. ALL of the issues would have been avoided had they been together the next day

Angel is that person who overseas 1-2 Airbnb units, but spun it to Production as a 'leisure & hospitality empire.'

This episode was wild. I loved production showing what a disorganized fool Angel is. That flying fishing lunch she had planned never made sense when you factored in the time to travel back to the airport. What a mess!

I cannot imagine her returning.

Karen will be welcomed back with open arms. I just hope she plays her cards right like Lu did.

That has to be it because she was the exact opposite of a skilled hostess.

One & Done this one.

That said, it was a great penultimate episode. What a surprise we get a whole hour of The Grande Dame as the finale!

RHOM

YASSS!!! GET HER, ADRIANA!!!

That was a pretty terrible reunion that didn’t need to be 3 parts. Also bronwyn is a gaslighting liar. She knows she implied Seth was cheating, and now she tries to gaslight instead of owning it.

RHOP

I might have to deal with trippy tv systems (usually in my viewing of BTG) and the power going out, but I was bound and determined and I'm caught up!!!

If it was not for Karen, this would be the season finale allegedly. And that honestly does not sit right with me. I'm tired of the HW shows ending the season while on the trip. Perhaps Production thinks they can do that so we can (hopefully) get resolution at the reunion. But THAT'S no longer really why we watch reunions though so that just falls flat. I would rather have the trip and then a finale episode that ties up all the story threads of the season. Cuz...if that was the finale...AND no one is in next episode...THEN WHY??? We had story with Gizelle. We have...and STILL have...story with Wendy. What about Stacey and her man? I want something other than a card at the end. And then it wasn't even the international trip for the ladies they ended on, either?

Which brings me to my next point...this has been a great season overall. But perhaps the Colorado trip went an episode too long cuz OVERALL, it peppered out, making the season itself end in a whimper.

That said...Lord...that was such an entertaining mess. lol. My feelings are honestly mixed, BUT I was entertained as I caught up to Sunday's episode. And it ended in total chaos. I mean...woooooooow.

I was sorry to see that after a strong start that Angel ended things on a down note. Even if Gizelle had a point...in fact, she had several and I'm sorry to say that I agreed with her...Angel really could have stood up for herself more. That said...Angel vs Gizelle was definitely good to watch. But once Angel broke down crying, she lost the plot. Then she just got lost.

I was also sorry to see that Ashley's light pot stirring earlier in the season got to Jassi. And I don't know what to make of all of that Wendy/Stacey/Jassi fallout. I can't believe Jassi fell for it when she was doing good with her own pot stirring between Angel and Monique. Wendy's anger just seem like it came out of nowhere. And then the irony of her being that way given what's going on in Wendy's life will never not be side-eyeable. It seems like in real time Wendy and Stacey are good friends while Stacey and Jassi did in fact fall out, but I'm not sure.

Overall...it was so bad it was good. And I'm sure it will have high rewatchable value in the years to come.

GIZELLE. You know it's bad when I'm on Gizelle's side. Because starting from where I started in binging, I didn't like she was pressed about Angel getting her lick back and started mess, but allowed WENDY (who didn't even bring up the house rumors) to lead that Angel attack. And then she was a nag all after that. I get the no water thing the first time around but whatever. It was the SECOND time I was on her side. And ooooooh she was pissed on that plane. It's rare we see MAD GIZELLE the one that Production edited out of the Season 5 reunion and I felt she was right. And she led that attack on Angel which sadly was warranted. I just found it telling that Keiarna did not speak up enough. Then she hijacked the rest of the trip...which apparently was the right thing to do given how it ended. All I could do was shake my head. I was also sorry to hear about how the will storyline resolved itself.

ASHLEY. Le sigh. Exhausting except for when she was ki-kiing with Jassi or when Stacey was trying to plan matchmaker with her and Mo. She was trying everything to get Stacey in trouble. And I think we were all over the Chris Samuel storyline. Sorry, her seed planting to cause drama between Stacey and Jassi worked.

KEIARNA. Le sigh, too. Those ladies did not hold back on her BFF and she could barely speak? And Confessionals does not help. I was so disappointed in her.

STACEY. She had been holding it down all season so I was disappointed that she finally cracked once Wendy and Jassi tag-teamed her. I thought her trying to hook up Ashley and Mo was a hoot. And she was being quite catty to Angel in her Confessionals. And then her throwing out the tea about how Jassi tried to pull a SLC Britini from last season and record her was a surprise. Not to mention that Production caught her again (and rolled back) lying. Still had a great sophomore season though.

TIA. Hehe that she got to stay in the house with Angel. And I giggled at us getting yet another fight between her and Jassi. Not to mention her fight with Stacey. I look forward to seeing more of her vs Stacey next season.

WENDY. Has the worm FINALLY turned? Cuz that last card at the end was telling. It has felt like for the most part, Production has been on Wendy's side, but still setting her up at the same time. I guess we will know for sure once the reunion starts. Until then...I'm not sure how I felt about Wendy these episodes. I thought she should have been the last person to confront Angel over the house rumor when Gizelle/Ashley were the ones to bring it up. She got her licks in again on Angel in the private jet attack. And then the stuff with Stacey...where did that anger come from? She's been a good (but holding her accountable) friend to Stacey all season. That just felt like something else. Has Gizelle's mean girl-ness truly rubbed off on her, or was she just stressing over those fraud charges?

ANGEL. I feel like Tyra Banks (who has an ANTM docu coming out Feb. 16 on Netflix AT LAST!!!) when it came to her. Cuz I was rooting for her when she got her lick back on Gizelle and Ashley. But it was all downhill from there. She lost me after the SECOND water shutoff and never recovered. It just felt like she was trying to save face, but giving nothing. And I really didn't like that she did not stay with the girls once they were at the Four Seasons. Well, to put it a different way...she did not own that she don't want to be around them at all. and then to get lost on the way to her own event? HOOOW???? Now saying all that...I would love to see her back for a second season. We all know how I feel about that...and she definitely has given a horribly done freshman season, but has a trainwreck quality to her at the same time that I would love to see if she could even pivot if she returns.

OTHERS:

MONIQUE. I LOVE that she said aloud what most of us already knew...Production be footing the bill for a lot of the trips versus it's completely on the Housewife. Which could give sooome wiggle room to Angel and that house. That said...I felt she was coming from a good place with Angel and Bobby, but it really felt like projection.

JASSI. Her and Ashley could be a ki. Sad to see her and Stacey found out though.

KAREN. Completely upstaged everyone by not only getting the coda of the episode, but also a whole episode with Andy Cohen. Go 'head, Kurn.

An entertaining mess.

Chileee I need to finish that SLC season. I have 5-6 episodes left to watch... I'm so behind. I hope they delivered the drama.

the last part also didnt need to be supersized. What did those 15 extra minutes accomplish?

I had to laugh at Whitney calling Meredith for constantly throwing production under the but. Im not sure if that will help save her job but I think it may hurt Meredith. She's difficult to work with and Bravo does not like housewives throwing production under the bus the way she keeps doing. I can see a demotion

Bronwyn is under the influence/protection racket of Bad Weather now. Heather was directing her in the finale and throughout reunion. Todd ate Bronwyn's cherry (!!!!) and according to Heather, that's a Huge Deal in a marriage! Bronwyn has listened to her and effectively chosen the show over her faltering marriage.

So where does Bronwyn go from here? Without Todd's financial heft behind her, she's going to slip down the pecking order, and the rest of the cast will start treating her accordingly.

Angie needs to find a personality trait that goes beyond 'Greek.'

Whitney, stuck at the far end of that couch, was anxious to insert herself into everybody else's SL, as well as have her dramatique walk-off ("I need Justin!"). I was on the edge of my seat as to whether those two love bunnies would ever reconcile.

I cannot believe Lisa was being talked over by Heather and Mary when she was trying to discuss her marriage. I wanted to know what was going on there.

I honestly do not know whether Meredith got herself fired or has assured herself another year on the show.
