Thanks for the info! I can already anticipate Brandi's non-apology from here ("I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I didn't realize it was offensive, I'm working on understanding better, blah blah"). But since there is an Asian HW in the mix (yay!), I wonder if she will address the video.

 

I enjoy RHOD's focus on Dallas society with these 'important' families, bucolic suburban houses and themed events. Last season was so toxic and ended badly for Leeanne, but I am now looking forward to this season. RHOD does provide some humor (Kameron) and outright soap opera. I am also hoping for a little karma coming Brandi, Kary and D'Andra's way, BH-styles --though I guess D'Andra's karmic punishment is pretty much Mama Dee's entire existence..

Cat, quite a few people online have picked on D'Andra's looks going as far as to say she looked like she was Single White Femaling LeeAnne in one of those Hawaii theme party pictures she posted. I agree. She looks nothing like how she used to. Shame. I liked her Gothic look.

 

Only gossip I really heard was Jennifer (one of the new girls) might be drama and someone might have a divorce storyline. But that might be Jennifer too so...*shrugs*  And the 'Brandi video' drama will be addressed. So we are going to redeem Brandi, but not LeeAnne the actual star? uh...ok. 

 

I also agree that I don't like D'Andra as the face of RHOD. With LeeAnne gone, she is pulling a Kyle and going for that crown.

Yay!!! Same page on Number 1. Still ugh on her. 

 

Good to hear good things about Tiffany. But she has been trying to get on the show for a while.

Yeah, I liked D'Andra's gothic look too. But Leeanne was the Queen of Gothic. S3 she was going full Elvira!

 

And now you have added another dimension to D'Andra's physical transformation: not only is Mama Dee trying to create a replicant of her younger self (via D'Andra's recent surgeries), but D'Andra also wants to become Leeanne. TWISTED!

 

In anticipation of tonight's BH reunion:

Meh... Too many "B" characters. It's one thing when you had Nene or Bethenny or even LVP leave, but the remaining cast still had heavy-hitters. 

 

OC with Vicki and Tamra gone is like taking both Teresa and Melissa off NJ... (OMG, did I just give Melissa Gorga a compliment? Crazy times)

Yeah, I was sadden when LeeAnne lightened her hair because her raven locks were up my 

 

And yeah...until somebody pointed that out about D'Andra's looks, I agree with how she is acting being the face. One thing you could say about LeeAnne she was a hustler when it came to promoting RHOD. It seemed like she is still low-key doing it actually. But now that's been D'Andra.

 

 

See? That's what I was talking about. A time capsule of our time. Just the hopes for 2020 thing. Shivers.

 

I admit...it does intrigue me for the reasons I mentioned. I am in San Diego. And yes, we have heard tales of how it has been in OC so it will be interesting to see how OC deals with that here. And as expected, Shannon is showing it all.

 

I am shocked decided to show up on camera.

 

I think like Cat. It could be a good season. Or a mess. But I am...willing...to...give...it...a...change.

The RHOBH reunion Part 1 was produced very well. The lighting and camera work and audio was very clear.

 

However, the only good part of it was the Best of Sutton reel. She is funny and a great addition to the show. 

 

Rinna came in scorching hot after Denise. She clearly hates her and has her talking points all lined up. The theme of 'gaslighting' is what Rinna is turning to, which tells me she knows the audience hates her. 

 

Kyle clearly loathes Garcelle and is upset she can't play victim with Garcelle because a) Garcelle did nothing wrong to her b) Garcelle said nothing inaccurate about her and c) Garcelle is more popular with the audience. 

 

John Mellencamp's daughter proved that she should be fired this reunion. She had ZERO story and only had something to say because Sutton called her boring, which she is.

Agreed with all of this. Rinna has now replaced Own It with Gaslighting. It’s actually amazing to see how upset this cast is that the audience thinks they’re [!@#$%^&*].s, and Erika now proclaiming Denise had the kids at the party to make them all look bad was pathetic. People hated the coven last season, why in God’s name did they think another gang up on a cast member was going to suddenly endear them to the audience is beyond me.

Rinna, Erika, and Teddi need to go. They no longer serve a purpose on this show except to revel in hate and then spew it. 

 

I still find it unnerving that these women don't care to see what majority of the audience is saying and seeing--the sexualizing of children is not cute. There is nothing wrong with Denise being a sexual being and responsibly choosing to shield her kids from it too. Only a reasonable adult would understand that. 

 

Garcelle did good tonight, however, I wish she would've truly nailed Kyle to cross like I wanted. I also found it utterly disgusting that Kyle tried tarnish Garcelle's character by stating she didn't pay 5k to a charity. Obviously, it was a slip up seeing as Garcelle stays booked and busy unlike the other women. 

 

This show just needs a massive retool and how Bravo/Andy don't see it is the main reason why this show is bleeding out.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • 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.
