I've been saying SLC gives off RHOV/Melbourne vibes since the first trailer. So I'm so happy to hear @DaytimeFan @Cat @Cheap21 all agree as well. Great company to be in. Or we just have excellent taste.

NOW if Bravo would put it in a better time slot so they can rake in some good ratings...  

Oh PS...guess who is ALSO in the background?

 

CHARISSE.

 

LOL.

 

 

lol. I know I forgot to say something. I like the resurgence of Housewives kids on this show. I know from early OC that kids used to be a part of it. And that has lessened over the years so good to see them again. Next generation? Though some of them would be like...was it Jenna's fine son?

 

And yeah, I laughed at Elizabeth being ribbed (and having a good sense of humor later about it) about always talking about her money. 

 

Hmmm...if Emily said that...does that mean that party on the beach in the midseason trailer that they are all sitting at will be the finale then?

I'm not Team Darby but I sorta am.  I think Michael's delivery of "control your wife" was inappropriate but someone needed to tell Chris to get his wife.  She is going off at what looks like a very professional gathering because she's been unsuccessful in turning Karen against Monique and it gets ugly every time.  Candiace is a very troubled soul and needs a break from the show.  And if she weren't such a nasty piece of work, folks might sympathize with her more.

Not to play armchair psychologist, but IMO Candiace is projecting the rage she harbours towards her overly-controlling mother onto Ashley, Monique and others. She cannot easily regulate her behaviour at the best of times.

 

The way she antagonizes others into reacting physically, it's like a rush of power for her, and power/control is something she rarely has with her mother. You can see in that finale clip how high on the toxic energy she gets -- she literally thrives on seeing a situation escalate. 

 

I'm really hoping somebody points this out to her at reunion because she is a troubled soul, as you say, and needs a come-to-Jesus moment. Right now she is leaning in and embracing her dark side.

SLC

Yeah, hubby made note of that busted up Toyota too. It's all a ruse for the cameras. I think she could be another Charrisse, playing it off like she's rich and fabulous, but has an out-of-town hubby that's all but divorced her. But we'll see. 

 

The polar icecaps are melting and Lisa actually softened in this episode. I finally kinda liked her. She comes off much better as a close friend to Meredith. Let's play the drinking game every time Lisa over enunciates the phrase "I LOVE THAT" though. LOL. Glug glug glug... 

 

Cousins Heather and Whitney continue to be the winning team. Very level-headed people. Heather is a great friend. She will have your back but can take a step back and sees the clear picture when their friend is in the wrong (i.e. Jen). 

 

Jen's blowup towards Meredith was ridiculous. I've seen ridiculous Housewives tiffs and this one is probably one of the most petty ones I've ever seen. Jen is trying too hard and looking like a clown. Kudos to Meredith for "disengaging."  And a big F--K YOU to Jen for spilling all the tea about Meredith's marriage, and the game of telephone trickled down to nearly ever other castmember. That was dirty of Jen. In the words of non-factor Dr. Wendy Osefo, "she's not your friend," Meredith. 

 

Mary's lunch was odd but so fun to watch. She's giving Ramona Singer a run for her money with the googly eyes. 

 

You know what? I really like this show. I'm a fan.

I thought Mary captured the eccentric spirit of the Met ball..with the door man dressed in holiday entired.

 

Jen is an example of why I tell straight men to never marry and / or having a pre nup.  

 

Meredith disengaging was refreshing and has given a new twist on the housewife formula.

My bad...I should have been specific.

 

Charisse is at the party. She's in the clip in the sparkling red when Ashley is pushing Michael. And at another point I believe. But yep...she's there.

 

Them producers really do not like her. lol. 

 

And I...WANT...MORE. That just wets my appetite, but I want ALL of it.

 

And Chris getting up...yessir! Defend your family. 

 

lol.

 

 

She ain't wrong though. Old schoolers totally would be about that 'if I got fired' life. 

Agree on Mary's design for the Met Ball cuz it really is like that.

 

And I read what you said about Jen and str8 men and I was

    • I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!
    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.
