Dallas:

 

Brandi is what Delores on RHONJ would describe as a 'professional victim'.

 

Tiffany and Dee's interaction shows another side to Dee....a human side.  As I've said before...Dee wishes Tiffany was her daughter.

 

Kary is emotionally stunted due to being a child of an alcoholic.  Her daughter last week said her mom is all emotion..no logic.

 

Kam and Court are the odd couple that works.  

 

D'andra and her hubby do seem to enjoy one another.

This is truly insane as it unfolds! I remember some of her assistants had their faces blurred out. Now I'm wondering if those were the people working undercover. It seems like this case was in the works LONG before she started filming and the level of fraud and steps taken to hide it are shocking. How much time do yall think she'll get? Obviously she'll take a deal. I wonder if she'll continue filming like Teresa did.

 

ETA:

 

I just finished RHOD and I felt D'Andra's frustration. She called it when she broke the fourth wall with producers, she knew they'd all gang up on her for the tame comments about Brandi's racist video. I don't understand how those women can keep defending Brandi's actions and demonizing anybody (Tiffany and D'Andra) who calls her out on it. It's *so* obvious she's pissed and not sorry about it and that these other women are just as bigoted as she is. It's like there is a complete blind spot. D'Andra said nothing wrong and they just piled on at the end of the episode. I hate we didn't get a preview to see where it goes. I hope D'Andra and Tiffany go into the reunion guns blazing. Andy too. They need to stop giving these women a pass.

Her lifestyle made ZERO sense. Renting a half-empty ski lodge + all those people to primp her ass for hours at a time? What for? And on a football coach's salary? (And now I'm wondering what Coach Shah knew).

 

So, I have questions:

-Did the release of the footage a month ago give Jen Shah a clue that the Feds might be onto her? Or was she so wrapped in herself that she did not connect the dots?

 

-Did the Feds leak the recording? And was it to expose the way this poor designer was getting treated ? Or to F with Jen's head as they already had all the evidence they needed? God, I have SO many questions about this undercover glam squad!

 

The Feds were smart with this one. They knew she was vain and obsessed with her looks. I imagine a longtime RH fan within that prosecutions office suggested they go undercover as part of the glam squad.

 

 

 

I haven't watched yet but I am pretty sure I will share your frustration.

 

This was meant to be Brandi's apology-tour season, but I have yet to hear an actual apology from her. Brandi has confused contrition for (as @Soaplovers said) professional victimhood. 

 

Perhaps the dragging she gets on social media has obscured (in Brandi's mind) the reason why it got so bad in the first place: because she hasn't take accountability. Now she appears to have discovered her latent Chrishunanity. This sudden religious fervor is about as convincing as Tamra's. Brandi's new piety has been adopted not just to cloak her own behavior, but to target D'Andra.

 

The other women supporting her think they are being so clever and strategic -- they are coming across so poorly. This is why Dallas reminds me of BH sometimes. The strategic targeting of somebody in order to deflect attention from yourself.

Speaking of Lisa Barlow... ROLL FOOTAGE! The entire day of Tuesday March 30th will HAVE to be the focus of at least one full episode of SLC. If not two!

 

And Whitney, Heather and Lisa were already in the van when Jen bolted. Where was Meredith? Hmmmm.

It was a good episode. A nice balance of group face-off at the end, along with individual HW scenes that actually went somewhere. The Court-Kam scene was sweet, as was the D'Andra-Jeremy one. Best was Mama Dee and Tiffany, with Mama Dee being the nicest we have ever seen her -- dispensing empathetic and wise advice. The relationship is clearly solid and real between them.

 

Then we have the doom-laden scene at Brandi's, where her feral children play dangerously with kitchen furnishings while Brandi leans into her Sads Moment. Brandi is like Kyle with her need to play victim and blame someone else for the bad stuff 'inflicted' upon her.

 

And like Kyle, Brandi has her own Terri DiMarco bodyguard, aka Kary pushing tequila like she's looking for an endorsement deal, and jumping into an argument she knows nothing about. Meanwhile  Stephanie stays studiously quiet to allow her BFF her big Actors Studio moment. Straddling the fence as always. What on earth has Stephanie brought us this season? This episode she barely appeared except as Beavis to Brandi's Butthead.

 

D'Andra came in like "Bring it. What you got?" She knew Brandi was setting her up.

RHOD

 

Thiis bittttca!!!!!!

 

But first...let me just said everyone (but that chuckyhead)'s TH was really on point. And Stephanie would look great with a gothic look. And even Kary looked like a Boss B in that white suit. Niiice.

 

That said...Team LeeAndra. Brandi must have watched the BH reunion and thought she could use the gaslighting manuver that Ex Soap Star tried to use on Denise Richards. No, trick!! No!!!

 

Kudos to LeeAndra seeing what was going on and breaking that fourth wall to the producers and venting off about that. She probably even had flashbacks of how everyone ganged up on LeeAnne as she went off. As someone who glanced at the article in question, I know it was not even about LeeAndra trying to trash Brandi as the article was simply asking if they would sweep what she did under the rug. Nothing more. Nothing less. 

 

Other than that, I thought it was a good episode. Mildly dull at times, but good. I really wished they had not taken the week off. It has killed the momentum. And now the only arc I see...and it's not even really an arc...is pathetic Brandi making herself look worse and worse in her pathetic attempts to stay relevant as a Candiace Lite. Now unless LeeAndra exposes her soon or she has a really bad comuppance on scene this is a waste of time. 

 

TIFFANY. I loved her scenes with her mother and Mama Dee. Two different mothers. Two different prespective. After playing it cool the last time she showed up, confusing Tiffany, Tiffany's mother seem to be taking little digs. Or was it just in Tiffany's mind. I mean...it is possible for our parents to mellow with age. I know when I was younger I wanted a tattoo and my parents were no, no, no. Then I come home for college and my parents were all about tattoos. I was like rme. lol. I loved Mama Dee's advice and thought that whole scene was great. But Tiffany's family scenes are endlessly fascinating to me.

 

KAMERON. Awwwww Court. I loved that whole little story. The family that trick each other into dream houses...stay together. But I think he's cute anyway. 

 

KARY. Brandi has a watchdog. She's named Stephanie. There was no need for her to get in the middle of Candiace...I mean Victim Brandi vs LeeAndra. 

 

STEPHANIE. Not much there but a great confessional.

 

BRANDI. That whole scene with her 'checking her emails' was complete and utter SET-UP. We see how setting up things is working out for Jen Shah, so Brandi really needs to quit. Seriously, she's been doing this for episodes now. She continues to try to find a way to deflect for the real reason she has been attacked in the first place...BRANDI, YOU'RE A SUCKY PERSON!!!! No matter how you try to put the blame for your video on a POC, act born again when you are known to run around with dildos, poof, and wigs in your crotch, or fake cry with no real tears, no one with any intelligence will fall for that.

 

LEEANDRA. She played it smart. She walked in there just like she said, expecting a setup. And she was right. I loved her paying Brandi dust...and then letting Brandi hang herself by mentioning the article. Then Kary tried to attack her and she deflated that with an apology...and then Brandi still tried to attack her. And she calmly called her out. So...Point 1 for her as we go into a TO BE CONTINUED. And I stay liking how Jeremy flirts with her so shamelessly. 

 

Good episode but I am tired of Candiace...I mean Brandi.

Teresa is damn near 50; she dont need her little brother to defend her to another woman. Huh? She can dish it but cant take it. She went to jail and at this point its a lazy read. She should be ready for it as it shouldnt be something that catches her off guard to the point that she is losing it. She should have owned it, stayed confident and thrown it back in Jackie's face. I dont think she was even that upset but she harped on it to play the victim and use this as an excuse to further hate Jackie

Jackie...weak ass bitch. She said she wasnt going to cry last episode yet has a breakdown. I cant with all that crying. Girl get a grip. She said they were giving the rumor legs but she has talked about it repeatedly and threw a whole new party where she continued to bring it up. She's milking this for a storyline and also playing the victim

I love Jennifer. She has turned into my favorite housewife and I root for her against Marge whom is irritating me.

Moulin Rouge dungeon theme?

 

Porsha and Cynthia (of course) look amazing. Kenya is almost there, except for that sheer netting digging into her shoulder.

 

I never realised Drew was short? The dress is ok but looks like Prom.

 

I am sure Kandi will get the least likes for her outfit, but you know what? She went all-in on the theme and looks the Moulin Rouge part. She is basically the Ringmaster/Ringmistress.

 

ETA: More reunion looks. Shamea literally IS Diana Ross.

    • Dear God in Heaven (/KatherineChancellor), maybe blazer is the wrong word - I’m just saying André needs to wear baggy clothes or larger sizes cause he’s a short king and the sizes they’ve chosen for him make him look smaller and shorter than necessary

      btw he’s not even that young, must be around Martin’s age…
    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
