Im in ATL now so its kinda cool watching RHOA. Wonder if I will run into anyone.....lol

 

Mama Joyce got her own talking head! I know she got one on the spinoff but not sure if she had one on RHOA before. I loved her saying Phaedra belongs in a cell next to Apollo with her criminal ass

 

Sheree needs to STFU. She has no place to criticize anyone about their house considering the long running joke that is Chateau Sheree

RHOC:

 

I am so glad that Kelly is unapologetic to these women. It bothers these women (especially Shannon/Heather) to the core that she won't cower to them and I love it. 

 

Shannon was so defensive tonight when it came to her marriage. Lady, your husband cheated much like Vicki/Donn did in their marriage. Stop trying to whitewash the situation. You're marriage is doomed and it's obvious. Calling it now that Shannon's story next year (if she's brought back) is her leaving David. 

 

Producers were the MVP tonight. I hollered in joy when they presented receipts of TamRat bringing up other folks kids and being violent in the past. What pissed me off though is that Andy didn't hold her feet to the fire about either situations. Kelly should've dug into her more about that too. 

 

Heather did herself no justice tonight. She came off as an elitist bitch tonight. Her apology to Kelly was sh-t, and her excuse for leaving the Japanese restaurant was even crappier. One of the joys this season was that Heather finally got exposed to those who were long mesmerized by her. I was never fooled by her as I've always knew she was trashy like other women on the OC; she just has more money than them. 

 

Cannot wait until next week when Shannon runs off stage and Vicki/Kelly dig into Heather's a**.

Underwhelmed by Part 2 of the OC Reunion. I FFed a few times. The Three B*tches are obviously awful. But Andy will never hold Tamra's feet to the fire to make this Reunion worthwhile. Plus Kelly is all over the place. She needs to pick her battles -- sadly, she isn't too swift. Interrupting Heather every 2 seconds is not effective. Nailing her for being a hypocrite bitch and highlighting the set-up should have been the way to go. I can see why she didn't feel sorry for her language. Andy was clutching his pearls over her lack of apology, but why should she when The Three Bs were out to get her from the get-go?

 

Heather basically dug her own grave, especially when Bravo trotted out the BTS footage. Bravo producers must REALLY dislike her and Terry. The mask has most definitely fallen from the Jutting-Jawed One's face.

RHOA...

 

Sheree...how Ive missed thee.  She's been a breath of fresh air..and i like that so far she isnt letting Kenya slide in her shadiness.

 

I dont recall...but did Sheree have a temper in her previous stint like Nene did?  If not, shes the perfect person to go against Kenya...but I hope she doesnt take her ex husband back.

 

RHONJ

 

Oddly...i thought this wasnt quite a toxic season even with jacqueline.  I do ha e to say i agreed with jacquelines points..she just went about expressing them in the wrong way.

 

Delores...doesnt belong on the show...anf thats a compliment....She seems normal ( for a housewife..that is).  plus...I liked her family especially her 102 year old grandma.

 

Siggy....i have a feeling her son will be like michael on OC and not give his mothet his address when he is an adult lol

 

RHOC

 

Its not fun...too toxic....either vicki or kelly needs to go.

 

If I woule have a former housewife come back...Id choose Lizzie...she is married, has kids, and a business...and can call out BS.  And I think she shouldnt have been a 1 season wonder.

Sheree does have a temper. But as I've said before, this Kenya v. Sheree rivalry is strictly for cameras. I strongly believe that these 2 made a pact to 'beef,' so they'd keep their peach positions on the show. I bet money these 2 get along very well off camera. 

 

When it comes to the OC, Vicki is not going anywhere. She's a Bravo relic. She'll leave when she chooses too. I actually don't find Vicki to be toxic. Kelly either. The toxic party is Heather, Shannon, and Tamra. Those 3 had nothing going on this season, so they had to poke and prod Kelly and Vicki, who carried this season. 

 

I don't see anyone getting the boot out of those 5 though. Especially, now that Meghan is supposedly leaving. I think Bravo realizes that drastically changes casts rarely work on these shows. RHOA s5 (with the introduction of Kenya & Porsha) was the only time it was truly successful. The shift of RHONY in s5 nearly killed the show. Same with NJ in s6. 

 

Like I've said, if Bravo were smart, they'd keep Kelly/Vicki/TamRat/ShanLoon/Pleather and bring back Gretchen & Lizzie. Gretchen & Lizzie are close friends. Both of them have bones to pick with numerous women on the cast. Both of them are close to Vicki and Kelly. Also, Vicki has been campaigning for their returns. I've always thought the show as stupid in getting rid of Lizzie b/c she was successful (business-wise) and had a great marriage. As you said too, she didn't take crap from anyone and was very observant. Gretchen needs to return for the primary reason to annoy the f-ck out of Heather & Tamra, who both actively wanted her out after s8 and were successful.

I am rewatching S5 of RHoNY and, in hindsight, I think Bravo did the right thing by turfing out Jill, Kelly and Cindy (nasty, nasty women). If they had stayed, the show would be a hot mess and run into the ground like NJ. Instead, having three new, well-chosen additions gave NY a new lease of life. The trip to St Barts and the aftermath was AMAZING. The problem IMO was that Bravo waited too long between s4 and s5 so that when s5 finally came out, people had forgotten about the show. Carole, Aviva and Heather (at the time) breathed new life into the franchise; IMO, they could have skipped Season 6 (with dull Kristen -- the only good thing that season was Aviva tossing her leg in the finale) and gone straight to S7 with Bethenny who kickstarted the show again. NY cleaned house and now is on its third cycle and fresher than ever. Contrast with NJ which is still stuck in 2012. Yes, last season they tried with the newbies but those were very poor choices.

 

Personally, I think OC would benefit from the NY treatment. Vicki's cancer scam and her lack of accountability has dragged on for too long, and it is because of her that the Three Witches are bent out of shape. I'd fire Tamra, Heather and maybe even Vicki and start totally afresh.

 Shocking as that sounds. I don't think Tamra or Vicki are going anywhere tho, otherwise what would be the point of bringing on Lizzie and Gretchen?

I dont see that as a drastic change of the cast. Season 5 opened up with the same exact cast that was in season 4. They only added 2 women, while phasing Kim out.  That transition was much more seemless than other shows that add 2 women while randomly dropping previous women with no exit in between seasons.

(re: NY/NJ) True. I do disagree that the newbies were poor choices. The twins, though I hated them, were a few of the cast members to stand up against Tre, call her on her crap, and not be scared. That 'clink-clink' comment sent Teresa into a tailspin. She didn't like it. What I didn't like about the twins were the spouses. Bobby was a blatant famewhore, and Angelo acted like a knockoff Marlon Brando in The Godfather

 

I didn't mind Amber either as she was pot-stirrer. My only gripe with her was Jim, who was too aware of the cameras. He was like a poor man's version of Peter (RHOA). He didn't know how to stir the pot right and he stayed disrespecting the women, which was appalling. 

 

Yes, they should've skipped bringing Kristen on the show as she brought nothing to the table. The one time she could've (when Josh was wrapped up in that Ashley Madison scandal), she opted not to resign on. 

 

The OC did the NY treatment after s8 when Gretchen and Alexis got the boot, and Lydia opted not to sign back on. 

 

With TamRat being in trouble with the law for sending those pics, I would think Bravo would wanna get rid of her as a liability but sitting on the idea, I know they won't. This is gonna fuel Vicki v. Tamra this season. I think that with Meghan going, they won't shake up the cast that much, and Kelly will be thrown a reprieve. That's why I say bring back Lizzie/Gretchen.

 

The two are liked by the audience.

The two are good friends, which'll provide fun, lighthearted scenes.

The two are friends with Kelly/Vicki, which'll provide the two more allies.

The two are youthful, which'll drive OC's self-proclaimed 'hottest housewife' (Tamra) into a tizzy.

The two are entrepreneurs. Lizzie more than Gretchen but still. 

The two are of the few that called Tamra on her sh-t and nailed her to the wall numerous times. 

 

Plus, this show needs about 7-8 women on the cast. Six just never cuts it with this show b/c there tends to be a filler bullsh--t. I need 7-8 drama queens on this show next season. Kelly saved the show this season. She can't pull the same antics next season as she has to cool off. 

 

 

I think it was drastic (but great) b/c the tone of the show changed. It wasn't so much as toxic (at that time) as the show had became in s4 even though s4 was my favorite season along with s5.

RHOA

 

Production needs to seriously work on bringing this show together cohesively. 1. Kandi's baby daddy girl friend popping up mic'd up is so damn odd. It is obvious that it shocked Kandi and her clique, but production is f-cked up for that. Obvious they pushed this woman into doing that. If they wanted the scene to be more organic, they should've had her walk in not mic'd up. People caught onto that real quick. 2. Anything concerning Lena. Why would we care about scenes with Lena when she isn't an official housewife or friend? That scene was so out of place b/c no one we cared for was in it. See, this is why I say they should sign these women on from the start, so they know where they stand. Cutting all Lena's stuff out has already put a big plot hole in the season that was unnecessary. 

 

Moving on, Kenya handled Matt's sister well. I would've grew tired of her coming after me at the lunch. I would've showed out and told her to back the f-ck off. That's just me (who happens to be a hothead). Matt's parents, on the other hand, were a joy. 

 

I am not here for Porsha begging her ex to bust a nut in her. Funny that she was cackling alongside Phaedra about 2-3 seasons ago about Kenya unable to get a man to knock her up and begging Walter to do the same, yet she's emulating Kenya's old stories. Bye, Porsha.

Kandi's breakdown was sad to watch. It is obvious that Block (Kandi's baby dad) is an arrogant twat and wanted nothing to do with Riley. His actions in that studio alone said it all. He is clearly using Riley to get his girlfriend a spot on the show. That's why she went over to see Kandi. She was hoping this'll get her a spot on the show. 

 

I cannot wait for next week to see Kenya v. Sheree (again) with Kenya calling Sheree's wig the same one that Momma Joyce wears.  Kandi's reaction to that was everything. She wanted to pop Kenya badly for that comment.

Kenya kept it classy bc under different circumstances that sister would have and should have been checked

Kandi is filmed crying. Take a drink


Kandi has a flashback of her crying. Take a bonus drink

I know this might be shady and it was supposed to be a serious moment, but I wanted them to show a flashback of Bob sticking his tongue at at Sheree and Phaedra in court

Block...already dont like him. He hasnt been around all these years and decides to come on this show for a Bravo check and storyline? If I was Riley, I wouldnt want anything to do with him either. Speaking of which, I was confused bc I thought he dated Porsha during filming. I didnt realize it was in the past

I cant see Porsha as a mother. Her ex looks good and they'd have cute babies but no man with two kids is gonna want to have another baby with some random ex he just got reacquainted with even if she says she wants to do it on her own now

I can see Porsha as a mother. She has this natural thing where she fights and protects those around her. 

 

Kenya has the right to lay hands on a protective sister? Lol if anything she got so lucky. Any other family would have destroyed her and brought up her entire history starting with the Apollo incident. 

 

RHOC....this lady Vicki is disgusting. 

 

Im not a huge fan of Shannon but Lord that was ugly. Putting something like that out there in this day and age is unforgivable and I'd never speak to Vicki again. 

 

Team Heather over this coocoo lady they call Kelly. However Meghan had a point bout Vicki over exaggerating. I don't think it's a crime to not visit someone who's not your friend in the hospital. Would be the height of fakeness

    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
    • All caught up on this week's episodes. Deidre Hall has done the best work of her career with this series of episodes. That is her tribute to Drake. Every acting choice has been perfect. From her reaction the moment John flatlined, to her snapping at Abe and Paulina (what a smart, realistic writing choice), to her grief playing the text message over and over. Josh Taylor did the best work of his career in the scene with Kayla telling him John had died. Everything about his facial expression, voice, pronunciation, everything was so different from what he usually does. He was overcome with the emotion of it and any of his acting tics disappeared. Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso were great. One thing I noticed with the flashbacks of John/Marlena and Bo/Hope is that Bo and Hope are constantly smiling at each other. The chemistry those two have cannot be faked. It's clear the writing team decided to clean up Bo and Hope and give fans a happy ending for them, neatly wrapped up in a bow. The juxtaposition of Bo and Hope reclaiming their happiness thanks to John, while Marlena is dealt life's harshest blow from John's sacrifice, was another great writing choice. Marlena even saying that to Eric, that she is paying for Bo's recovery with John's life, was such smart writing. Susan Seaforth Hayes was used very effectively between the two storylines. I really enjoyed the scene of Kate talking to Philip, calmly stating that she will make Xander pay. Overall, the show should be lining these episodes up for the Emmys and Deidre should be carefully choosing her scenes for her own reel. She deserves a Best Actress Emmy for this work. The first time I have felt that way about her work. Peter Reckell should submit himself for Guest for the scenes where he found out Victor is dead because he was genuinely heartbreaking. Josh Taylor should throw his name down for Supporting Actor for his scenes. The show deserves a Writing and Best Show for what they've done with the episodes around John and Bo. It was heavy stuff and I feel for the actors. I am so impressed with what they did.

Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Both are highly intelligent, but rarely understood by the outside world. Both aim only to evolve, to be better than what they are. And both belong to the NFL. Data, who is actually Brent Spiner, was born February 2, 1949 in Houston, TX. He was the son of Sylvia, a corporate VP and Jack, a furniture store owner. When Jack suddenly died, Sylvia was left to raise infant Brent and his brother alone. She eventually remarried a man named Sol Mintz. Although Mintz adopted Brent, Brent changed his last name back to Spiner when he became a professional actor. Spiner attended Bellaire High School in Houston and was heavily involved in baseball and the drama club, in addition to being a member of the NFL. While on the speech team, he gained 143 points and even earned the title of Dramatic Interpretation Champion in at the 1967 National Tournament (the same year actress Shelley Long won Oratory). After his success in high school, Spiner moved on to the University of Houston and began performing in local theatre in Houston. Eventually he dropped out of college to move to New York City and try his acting luck there. While in New York, Spiner gained more stage acting experience, performing in several Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, including The Three Musketeers and Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. In 1984, Spiner decided to try film acting and moved again, this time to LA, where he appeared in several pilots and made-for-TV movies. He then auditioned for the up-and-coming show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Spiner himself was never a fan of science fiction or of the original Star Trek, but figured the show would soon be cancelled and he desperately needed the money. Starting in 1987, Spiner played Data for 15 years, during the show’s 7 seasons and the four feature films that followed. Even when the show was cancelled in 1994, Spiner’s career as a performer barely paused. He is most remembered for his role in Independence Day as Dr. Okun, the somewhat awkward chief scientist of Area 51 who is attacked and killed by his alien subjects. He has also made appearances on Law & Order, Friends, Dude, Where’s My Car?, I Am Sam, and The Aviator. Spiner returned to the theatre and appeared in the Broadway revival 1776 as John Adams. Unlike most of his co-stars, Spiner is not very active in the Star Trek convention scene. He has made a few appearances, but overall his lack of interest in science fiction gets the best of him. However, he still regards Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton as two of his best friends. One of the challenges forensicators face is finding the human element in their events; to not be robotic and detached, but simply themselves. It is this crucial element that separates the good from the great. As the character Data, Spiner sums up the NFL experience the best: “If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood – if it is instead a way of thinking, acting, and feeling, then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity. Until then…I will continue learning, changing, growing, and trying to become more than what I am.”   https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/09/an-interview-with-brent-spiner https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-17-ca-1835-story.html https://www.discogs.com/artist/1224629-Brent-Spiner?srsltid=AfmBOorfw9Nl3EZ4fc-plhbgU3ng2bSQTruygkdJxZgsPquzQ6sBhCbj     Leslie Charleson    pg. 435   PILOTS/PROPOSALS ANOTHER APRIL      April Weston Moss   1974    (Made for T.

    • Thanks so much for posting this. Since they had retconned Roger/Holly's relationship after his return as being "Roger was always in love with Holly" when it was actually the other way around, they kept up this narrative in this video. Understandable, but it still bugs me. Holly was never his "heart." That's baloney. He only married her to be in Christina's life and was screwing other women like Diane and Hillary the whole time. Peggy was truly the only woman that Roger ever loved, and even that wasn't a very healthy relationship. Holly only really fell out of love with Roger after she realized she loved Ed while they were divorcing. I'm glad he reminded people that the rape scenes were taped in a day. It's amazing what they accomplished with very little rehearsal. That scene still has great impact after all these years. And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask. (I love the way they joke about the mask at the end). Alan's insanely over-the-top reaction to his return when Roger had no hold against him anymore. Yikes, one of the worst things Long did while she was still writing the show, though I will cut her a break since she absolutely had a tough task bringing back a guy who fell off a cliff.
