I used to hate Karen but she saw that she needed change (in front of the cameras) and she did just that.  Karen will not be punked by these women and I love it even tho I'm living vicariously thru you guys in regards to RHOP.  Karen has been thru too much to be owned by a bunch of simpletons!  She's a good friend and care giver but when you need to be gathered, Karen will handle business!

I came into this season thinking I wasn going to like Karen bc of the early shade against Wendy but the Grand Dame didnt not disappoint and I still ride for her. I think she carried herself quite well this season.

if anything the way she stayed on Gizelle's neck and did not play into her games sealed it for me. Karen was VERY transparent about her life this season so there was no tea to spill. She called out the bullsh-t when necesary and didnt let Gizzard hide in her glass house. She also did the best she could to support both Candiace and Monique. Does she lie? Yeah but like she said, the women dont need to know everything and they dont. They (GEB and Wendy) tried but failed to knock her down bc she stayed 2 steps ahead of them at all time

 

FYI Muva posted some receipts and of course the GEBs have not apologized

Well...I see you all have been busy. lol.

 

I agree with @Cat @DaytimeFan and @Gray Bunny as well, but the above hit across the points that I especially mentioned many pages back about why I was liking La Dame...especially this season...and I'm not really going to go into it again...in a long way anyway lol. Nothing humbles someone like losing a parent. She lost her parents back to back. And she was definitely humbled. And like the above, she did change. Which is why also said above, she is been VERY transparent IMO and I love her for that. Rather than use vinegar to win the audience...she used wine with a slight bit of bitter. And....IT WORKED. All she had to do was be herself. And herself is a lady who can be serious when she needs to be and yet have a sense of humor. A woman who can look beautiful without even trying to be. A woman who can also be messy, but real as a friend, caregiver, and diva. Cuz yeeeeeah divas can be real...and classy. And even better, she is constantly growing. Clearly those deaths made her look inward and she did not like what she saw. So she is working day by day. And look at her now. No wonder those hoes are pressed. And given she sees them so clearly she stays ahead of them constantly. 

 

I would personally like to know why people are so triggered by La Dame turning her life around and still being messy when other housewives...both on this show and others...do what she has done (setups, fake storylines, potential fake storylines, alliances) and don't get half of the irk that apparently us just mentioning her name here seems to bring people to.

 

One last point...what I like about POTOMAC is that there is no black and white. For people who have started off liked (Gizelle was a fave first season), there has been people who have been hated. But that changes constantly and gradually on this show. No one person is just white. Or black. Gray for sure. And I find that enjoyable. You never know...next season we might all be hating Karen or be on Candiace's side if she comes back. One only has to tune in...

RHOA

 

Well...that opening.

 

Like POTOMAC'S opening (which was soap opera goodness in its recapping), the beginning of RHOA's new season was all kinds of realness. And I teared up a little. 

 

They touched on the beginning of Corona during last season's finale and here we are with BLM. I admit...I never saw the video of George Floyd. Only the pictures. So yeah that was kinda triggering, but it got the point across. The world we left where Kenya dragged Nene for looking like she was part of the cast of WHITE CHICKS is not the world we are in now. A world where one has to wonder about sending your child off to college. A world where you have to question how many people you have at your wedding...or even if you are going to have it. A world where you have to think about your baby daughter and if she is truly safe.

 

For the first time in a while...RHOA got REAL. And it was not pretty. But...it was not boring either. Regardless of what people say.

 

PORSHA. Who would have thought that the girl who did not even know what the Underground Railroad was would be out there these last few months and be protesting and using her platform to get Breonna Taylor's name out? I know some people are picking on her for storyline. But I remember this happening in real time. And posting it here. RHOA was not even filming when she was doing that or planning to film. And the footage they used was from Porsha's own phone rather than cameramen...people actually thought she was bringing in crew. I...can't. And that tear gas attack was just as bad as it was when it happened. 2021 from what I can tell will be bringing a lot of Blackcentric things going forward from what I saw the last few months. In media. In books...even my own writing is reflecting that. We finally see the HW shows themselves diversifying. So I see Porsha as being ahead of the curve. As we know, she won't be JUST about the protesting. She will still have drama with Dennis. Some with a newbie. And Strippergate. Just let Porsha be real. It becomes her.

 

KANDI. Last season she was basically the new bone collector. So it was good to see her as support and dare I say it comic relief. Her with Don Juan. Her with her family. Her with Titty Cents and Marlo. It was a hoot. And while a repeat, I guess we could have used an update on where things stood with Block. Like Gizelle over on POTOMAC, Kandi really needs to listen to Riley when it comes to her Dad. They tried it. It didn't work. She don't care. She might some day. But Kandi shouldn't push it. It should come naturally. I continue to enjoy the Kandi/Cynthia/Kenya friendship. But given filming hasn't finished, I wonder if Kenya's renew association with Shady Phae Phae will come into play then and cause drama. 

 

KENYA. Like I said Sunday...it was great to see Brandon cameo in. It has been a moment...or Season 7?...since he had been on. But WOW. After reigning supreme at the reunion, seeing Kenya broken was shocking. I like she was admitting to the weight gain and worried about custody, but where is the fiery Kenya of old? Marc really did a number on her. And I like her determination to make it work, but it does not seem like that is what he wants. So like Kandi and Cynthia said, she should let him go for good. She is too beautiful to not be happy. 

 

CYNTHIA. SMH at Titty Cent. lol. That said...what is this I hear about her getting a camera crew to film her wedding when Bravo refused. Well...if it worked for LuAnn... But...I don't think that will be a good look on her at all. I know what she said to Mike about why she wanted to get married anyway...*cough*flashbacktoPeterwedding*cough* but I could not help but feel for the first time that was a lie. She is doing what Vicki tried to do on the OC to stay on the show...have a wedding storyline. And one has to wonder...how desperate is she to stay on? It definitely seems like the wedding is more about being seen than it is about marrying Mike. Shades of Carrie/Big wedding in the SATC movie? 

 

MARLO. YYYEEEEAAASSSS!!!! Hilarious!!! I wish more people here in SD would be like that if they must be extra. JS.

 

A good start and soft reboot. 

 

Is there life after the Moose? Yes.

 

Oh and speaking of Porsha @Gray Bunny, to answer your question (I looked for clips so if I find it I will post it), she said that Monique told her that Candiace only did the lawsuit as a money grab so she could afford that new house she bought. Gizelle was trying to disagree and say lie, but Porsha checked her by saying she heard it from Monique's mouth. She then went on to say that Monique said she did try to resolve things with Candiace, but lawyers would not let them talk at all. Kate from BELOW DECK started to say something, but Porsha checked her too. Some of what she said did gel with what I've seen online and the timeline on the show so I really do not disagree with it. Hopefully we will hear more at the reunion. But yeah...Porsha and Gizelle went at it for a few minutes.

@Taoboi I think that is another scam from Erika and Tom. He had all this time to respond and conveniently waited until a lawsuit was filled saying their divorce was a scam? Just looks to me like he’s playing hardball to undercut that lawsuit. “How could it be fake if I’m asking her to pay my attorney fees and asking for no spousal support?” That’s just my speculation.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.  
    • Omg I was so annoyed. Like girl calm down. Coming on way too strong. Omg I forgot about this

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
