Aww - I actually came on to say that I thought tonight's episode was finally entertaining! 

 

Agreed - that final segment with Kandi/Riley/Ace was so touching, I honestly cried watching it all.  Ace is such a cutie, and it's wild to see how much Riley has grown up since Kandi first joined the show.

 

Drew - I can't stand her husband and I think she's crazy for even accepting his BS - but I have to say, she's been SO likable on WWHL last week and this week on Bravo's Chat Room - I'm digging her.  We need to see her interact more with the group, but alone, she's very likable.

Since it has not been mentioned, I figured I should say due to Monique's exit and the producers needing to find two new Housewives, they are no longer planning to start filming Season 6 at the end of the month.

 

The filming got pushed back to March.

I’m glad they pushed filming back instead of just going forward like they did with RHONY when Bethenny suddenly quit. They need new blood and had they just gone ahead with the same ladies minus Monique that wouldn’t have worked. The second half of season 5 proved that.

Oh, darn it!!! My eyes teared up at that montage for Riley. She really had grown up. And awwww at Ace being sad since they are so close. And he got a confessional!!! lol.

 

I agree with Always_AMC. I thought it was an entertaining episode overall. It did point out what has really been missing so far. And someone mentioned it online. And that has been FULL Group Scenes. For weeks now, we have had Kenya/Cynthia/Kandi on one side aka Team Old School (with Latoya) and then you have Porsha's Posse (Porsha, Tanya, Falynn, Marlo, and Joi) on the other side. Then you have Drew in her own little storyline. There have been crossing, but it's been light. Not the full on group scenes we are used to from this show. And tonight they all meant...and it was entertaining from the shade, the looks, and what was going on. And it was old school RHOA again without the toxicity.

 

I knew due to Co-Vid, they cannot go all the way in yet. You have Porsha still travelling at this point. And Drew was still recovering from an injury. But I believe the Kandi's event next week is when Drew will properly be around more so I cannot wait. Meanwhile, we need more of Team Old School vs Porsha's Posse. For me...that's going to be where the real fun is at.

 

KENYA. Queen of Team Old School, it was nice to see her back in fine firm. Latoya is bringing her back to life. And that can only mean one thing...MESSY. I enjoyed seeing her clowning with Cynthia and Latoya in lingerie. I enjoyed seeing her light sparring with Tanya. And of course, she is still mad at Porsha. Even if it is not her fault that she was uninvited. But you can already tell it is going to turn into a bigger conflict. Right now, it's just a light fun. And yes, I loved her shade at Nene. #gonebutnotforgotten

 

PORSHA. Queen of the much fun-ier posse. And...SHE'S WRITING A BOOK!!!! I liked her family scenes. I never knew Lauren was her half sister. She does not at all act like they are. And nor does it matter. They are sisters. HOWEVER she is more fun when she is getting under Kenya's skin. And SHE WAS. I love the fact that her being unbothered by Kenya is driving Kenya up the wall. Who would have thought? Is it not usually the other way around? And she (and Marlo with those boots) was dynamite at the engagement party fashion-wise. 

 

CYNTHIA. OMG! She and Mike thought JOE BIDEN was going to be at what was her engagement party? Really? The producers really enjoyed poking fun at her for it, too with that countdown. And then they walked into their own party...and didn't know??? I can't with her. lol. It was cute that she asked Kenya and Kandi to be BRIDESmaids. hehe.

 

KANDI. Yeah...I bet Kandi does know what she's doing. GO KENYA...lol. And Kandi with the 'yessir!' look when Kenya said if she was to do it with a woman, who it would be. And look! MAMA JOYCE!!! And again...that Riley montage...awww...she (and Ace) giving that real moments.

 

DREW. Still off with Ralph dealing with his dad's death. So not around this week.

 

LATOYA. Yeah...her and Porsha seem evenly matched on clapbacks in the brief exchange they shared. That said...she's been fun and less tryhard this week. 

 

MARLO. Shady diva...and I was here for it. She hasn't had awesome boots since the goddess boots she wore during Season 6 and I DREAM OF NENE era. 

 

Good episode.

 

I think it's a good idea as well. While I don't want Gizelle to lick her wounds (or Andy Cokehead to continue to do damage control as he has been transparently doing since the RHOP reunion), they are not at all ready to be filming right now. 

 

Another bonus...they can keep building some great buzz as we all wonder who the new ladies will join and will they be the ones already mentioned.

RHOD

 

First of all, Team Asian Kenya on Twitter tonight. Apparently, she and Stephanie got into a catfight. Bravo had Stephanie do a tour of her closet...which is NOTHING compared to Tiffany's closet we saw tonight (blows Cha-Cha's Champagne Room to bits, too). And also seem? Stephanie being jealous. Clearly. So Tiffany clapped back so quick. And rather than not be messy, Stephanie had to show that two-faces...and it's been on. lol.

 

I thought it was a nice episode. It's funny how petty the feuds are going to be on one hand. On the other hand, tonight shows hints of karma coming for some of the people who deserve to get it. And...that's been 2021 so far so I'm here for it.

 

I want to say I didn't like it, but I felt that everyone showed a little bit of...potential. Intrigue. Mystique? And that...can go a long way.

 

TIFFANY. First of all...she let Brandi off the hook waaaay too easily. Hopefully, that won't come back to bite her later on. Second of all, SHE'S RICK, HUNNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her giving LeeAndra and Stephanie the tour of her house (complete with big closet with custom-made purses) was just architecture porn. And the fact that they were clearly jealous when they were the ones who asked her to give a tour. Really? She was not even showing off with her money. She was being. Nothing wrong with that. Sorry, not sorry they were pressed about that. Third of all, the only time she really slipped with me was in her about-to-be feud with Kameron. Kameron is always ditzy...but fun. Kameron also does what she wants. And is rich, too. So hopefully they find a middle ground cuz I would hate to see a feud starting over chicken foot. ETA: PS...I liked Tiffany mentioning how racist people were to her as she is busying working on saving their lives. I have dealt with that in my field as well so I feel that.

 

LEEANDRA. So...when D'Andra started, we compared her and Mama Dee to Jabot and Y&R. But this tea she spilled...about the fact her father had TWO wills and she had to fight with her brother and stepmother over it...sounds like the stuff of soap operas. Have they mentioned her brother before now? And then the stepmother reached out to say her brother had a child? Why? Hmmmm...shades of DYNASTY? I was intrigued by that. Not as intrigued by her continued obsession with LeeAnne. Cuz the shaman...the humming with the crystal to mellow herself out. It was better AND witty the FIRST TIME. With LEEANNE. Already looking like her so you are taking storyline cues from her? Just...hmmmm. And I want to say @Cat and I called it last season. With LeeAnne gone, Kary and LeeAndra are slowly, but surely turning on each other. That it is with the same tactics Kary used on LeeAnne last season is ironically delicious. I was loving the looks LeeAndra was giving to Kary at the dinner spoke volume. I look forward to LeeAndra 'This ain't Phaedra' moment that is surely coming with Kary. 

 

KARY. I see online people were saying that she was just throwing shade. Yeeeeah NO. She was just annoying. Trying to be sarcastically witty when she was instead...just obnoxious. I was rolling my eyes right along with LeeAndra. But I called her when she first came on. She's going for the next alpha dog...which is not her. She is going to sit there and poke and poke and POKE and then wish she didn't when she gets her head bit off. Meanwhile...it's surprising to see her daughter Olivia from last season. And shocking myself...Kary's crazy personality has given her a pretty good daughter. And the culture shock from living in LA and going back to Texas...as an Arkansas to SD transplant....I felt that often when I was going back and forth.

 

KAMERON. Mmmm...Court. lol. It seems like Kameron pulled him aside at some point and let him in on the joke. Because they were the comedic duo all episode. And? I liked that. It seems clear to me that while Kameron can be ditzy and in her own little world...how much he loves her for it even if it drives him a little up the way from time to time. Hehe at the hiding of the chicken feet.

 

STEPHANIE. *cough*sniperfromtheside*cough* Deserves the dragging she is currently getting from Asian Kenya. And enabling Brandi? Girl, bye.

 

BRANDI. She was in Florida? Really? This was back in...June/July? How crazy was Florida by that point? Ewwww. That said...fake tears. Trying for a moment. I hope Tiffany would have kept on her neck a little longer. Everything with her was fake. Thankfully, she was really only in the first 10 minutes of the episode. 

 

JEN. I'm starting to wonder how much of her was edited out since she was put of the drama. But...nothing. Yet. At all. It's weird.

 

So other than Brandi...I felt everyone...even people I don't like...gave a little something. So the potential is there. And the best HW shows are those with a good ensemble. And I feel there's something here. I would like to see if it gets juicy...or just bad.

I agree. After some bum seasons, they found the right combo (along with potstirrer Danielle) to keep going. And if what little tea has been spilled on this season (they did a GREAT job keeping just about everything under wraps) so far is true...well...that might not be the case after this season...

 

Oh, is that the video that Captain Lee from BELOW DECK got roped into some online drama about. 

 

In any case, lol at someone selling her out as the NJ trailer drops. Delicious!!!

 

 

OMG!!! I LOVE IT!!!

 

Now THAT'S a BOSS move!

OMG! I have been waiting for RHONJ to start for over a month now! If its another 12 episode-season then this is going to be jam-packed. That trailer threw everything in there. And Joe Gorga is earning EVERY PENNY of his paycheck! Every penny!

 

Months ago I heard a rumor about the season, that Jackie's husband Evan was cheating on her and it was all coming out during filming. Jackie had a fit about the affairs even being mentioned and refused to film with anybody except Melissa for a while. 

 

The cast pic is... something. Jackie looks by far the best. Dolores has been hitting the spray booth hard and is giving Luann's Diana Ross moment a run for its money. Teresa's face looks (badly) Photoshoped onto someone else's body. Jennifuh = living Bratz Doll. Melissa got another nose jawb. I don't know who that person masquerading as Marge is -- is that Kim D in a silver wig?

 

 

So, I haven't watched a RH show in over a week. For the obvious political reasons we've all been glued to the TV lately.  I just didn't have the capacity to concentrate on it. Well, my anxiety finally reached a peak and I decided it was time to reintroduce fluff back into my life, and RHOD was it. I am enjoying this season so far and glad that it's a whole lot of nothing wrapped in architecture porn. I heard Ep1 got horrific ratings, but I'm choosing to believe that this is because Bravo released it online a week early. Hopefully the ratings firm up a little because IMO RHOD is a bit underrated.

 

The Good:

-Dr. Tiffany Moon. That voice is still channelling major Valley Girl, but I love that she mixes the superficial with the brainy. She's smart and energetic and an inspired choice for RHOD.

 

-Stephanie's True Face. Hmmm maybe LeeAnne back in S2 was right? Stephanie does not need to be starting something with DTM.

 

-LeeAndra's Soap Opera Life. God, I can't help but love this fool even though I hate her sometimes. Yes, she's needy, weak, lazy, a spendthrift, insanely jealous of anyone trying to outshine her... but god she attracts soaptastic drama into her life. Also, her face has finally attained LeeAnne Likeness, so that's one thing off her To-Do list.

 

-Brandi only appeared for 2 minutes. And that's how I like it. She wasn't missed.

 

-Kameron & Court generally. 

 

The Bad:

-Let's all poke fun at Chinese food! Who the hell thought this was a good idea? I'm sure they sold this to DTM as 'introducing her culture to the other women,' but I did not need to see a litany of barf faces (Kam's was the best, just saying). That joke was old in the 80s. This better not be RHOD's season-long Pantygate.

 

-Kary. How is she still on the show? She really thinks she's got some special sh!t to contribute, huh. Girl. No. Highly annoying during the restaurant scenes. She's trying everyone's last nerve, including mine. I can't believe she is going to drown DTM next week.

    • 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.
