@Taoboi @Soaplovers TT has a spate of blind items this weekend that all seem to point to Tiffany Moon -- or at least to her husband's family which owns the Sam Moon Group in Dallas. This may explain why Tiffany suggested a few months back that she might not return for a second season.

 

Lowkey devastated because I love Dr. Tiffany Moon. I have to imagine that this info came out at the RHOD Reunion and that is why TT is hearing about it now from her source. Why am I picturing Kary as the source?? She'd be all over that scandal like a fly on sh*t.

 

@Chris B Thanks, I wondered what it was. She does not seem to have had (much) work done on closer inspection, but it was so weird how I couldn't even recognise at first. Her face looks less round in the new wig, and contouring has helped.

 

Totally agree with you re; RHOA needing a new production team. The editing (specifically the editing out of key scenes they later are forced to show a snippet of in flashback) is a total embarrassment. RH editing is usually top notch -- RHONY being a prime example with its clear through-lines and quirky details. With ATL, I guess that's what you get when you replace Carlos King's team (they did RHONJ's first season, too) with producers whose claim to fame was the basic, cheapo, dully-scripted Tardy For the Party.

RHOA

 

The season started with a bad wig; it ended with a bad wig.

 

When even Porsha is tired of you, it is probably time to go. Or mellow out.

And wow have the tables turned. After starting the season as a tryhard, Latoya did what I said would happen (even with bad editing) and mellowed out by the end of it a la Season 5 to Season 6 Kenya. And for the second episode in a row, she was unbothered by Drew trying to start mess. So different than how she was at the beginning of the season. Drew has completely lost the plot in her bid to be relevant, revealing how desperate she is. Shame since she was the shoe-in. However...I personally feel they should all be bad (with good editing and a better production) because I do feel the potential is there. Even with current tryhard Drew. Another season should reveal enough to make it all interesting. 

 

As far as finale goes...I liked it. Technically what main plots this season had (Cynthia and her wedding, Latoya v Drew, Kenya v Porsha) all had some conclusion...for now-ish to them. I have always felt this season was a transitional one so it would be nice to see where this potential would go...perhaps with the return of Sheree? 

 

KENYA. Knowing what I know now...I'm not sure how I feel about Marc and her. I do hope she has finally decided to divorce him for real. Bad person or good, no one deserves to be used one someone isn't interested. And that was how I felt Kenya was at right now. And it's time for her to get back to how she is...messy. I loved her staying on Drew's neck and look forward to her doing the same with Drew at the reunion. It...is what she deserves. Good or bad, Kenya kept it interesting. So...WINNER.

 

PORSHA. Honestly...other than reactions...she was a non-factor this time around. I think reading that VOICES OF BRAVO article had me side-eyeing her now the first half of the reason. .The second half, she had me hollering. And there was so many times she looked like she had already checked out of her friendship with Drew. A big uh oh. But...she is growing for sure. So...WINNER.

 

KANDI. Is that 'Imma drag a bitch' Kandi I saw for a second. LOL!!! Yeah, when even the mild mannered one getting over Drew, too and her messiness, that's not GOOD. So come through Kandi with that. Other than that, keeping it moving has been Kandi's theme all season. So...WINNER.

 

CYNTHIA. hahaha...was giving looks, shade, and a happy married life. So while we all questioned her for even doing her wedding when someone like Kelly Dodd can do it within Co-Vid protocols, she still came out of this season in a good place. So...WINNER.

 

DREW. Lint. Just wow at the turnaround. She started what appeared to be so transparent with her life. Now I see here as Phaedra 2.0. And Shady Phae Phae did her act better.  It all feels like an act. My bad. Not all because the scene with her son and her dad felt real. It was giving me memories back to when I first met my own father as a kid. And I was that kid. It took 30 years to build a relationship with him because he was a stranger to me when it was only my mother and my siblings. So I'll give her that. And even that, I question since her son was not ready. And then her bringing back that wig? Talk about sour grapes. Everyone else moved on. So should you. It was simply her looking for a moment. That thanks to the tag-team of Kenya and Latoya flopped. No wonder she had to choose violence. Nice try, heffa. LOSER.

 

LATOYA. Speaking of turnabouts...she should come back. I said. She has softened enough to me that I would want her to. And she triggers Drew so much. Let's see where that rivalry goes. WINNER.

 

A transitional season. Ready for NY and of course POTOMAC.

I saw @Cat re: Blind Items. I am hoping it is not true on one hand, but waiting on some real news to report it. On the OTHER hand, it's funny she went and found some blind items pointing to an Asian cast member given the drama she herself just had on Twitter over coming across as racist to Asians. So...we'll see.

I read this article about Latoya of RHOA and it got me thinking

https://screenrant.com/housewives-atlanta-latoya-ali-abuse-claims-husband-adam/

 

1. From watching the show I would never know that she was a Youtuber

2. There was no mention of the extent of the abuse in her relationship (which would have effected the way we viewed the gossip about an affair with the profit)

3. There was hardly any mention of her children, I had no idea she had four kids so young, and when everyone was complaining about Kenya bringing her baby, what was Latoya's take on that situation?

4. She clearly has a complicated history with alcohol that went unexplored

 

Overall, I am much more interested in the Latoya from this article than I am about the one portrayed on the show.

I know. I bring it up with trepidation considering the source -- it was FOUR Blind Items this weekend all seemingly targeting the same cast member (Tiffany). The Dallas-based details made me wonder if another cast member had reached out to TT directly. And then that got me wondering if it was brought up at Reunion. That's why I mention it here as a head's up -- just in case.

 

 

ETA: RHONY Taglines!

 

Eboni's is great! Luann and, yes, Leah's are decent too.

 

Ramona's is a lie LOL

 

The cast feels small, sort of has me wishing an anchor like Heather had been part of the official line-up.

Ooh love the taglines! The vets look amazing in their new shots! 

 

Yes, it feels short to only have 5 castmembers, especially since RHONY was the one U.S. Housewives series to have a whopping 8 castmembers at one point, giving us an opening nearly as long as Melrose Place's. 

 

RHOA:

I gave Drew leeway all season long, but boy did she show her ass at the finale. God that reeked of desperation. It was like she did a last-minute crash course study on how to stir up [!@#$%^&*] at a Dinner Party From Hell and EVERYTHING fell flat.  LOL, I loved how she tried so hard to explain her reasoning and everyone was just checked out. It's like, sis, read the room and stop; you lost. 

 

I can see them giving her another season unless they grow somes stones and do a hard reboot of Atlanta next season. Hubby and I were deciphering Drew's legacy. He equated her to a Kim Fields; I said a Claudia Jordan. We'll see if she's a one and done. I'll miss seeing Ralph though...

NY

 

YAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS!!! YOU BETTER COME THROUGH WITH THAT SCANDAL QUOTE, EBONI!!!!

 

And LuAnn with that shoulder turn. *swoons* Viva la Diva!!!

 

They were easily my favorites.

 

I love how Leah looked in her shots. 

 

I didn't love Ramona or Sonja, but they looked gorgeous. And LOVE Sonja's full body turn. I love twirling. Don't hate me.

I thought the same thing yesterday. It would be one thing if it was one blind item that sounded like her...but FOUR. It came across like her slip was showing (c) Mariah Huq. And that was a BAD look for TT. 

 

That would be juicy (but sad) if it is all true and it came out at the reunion. Well some cast members have been known to reach out to her so that is possible. But you make me realize that other than the covid reveal, we have heard NOTHING about the reunion. And I think we have 2 or 3 episodes left. Hmmmm

 

Thank you for the heads up.  

 

ETA: You know I love you @Gray Bunny but I agree with your hubby on this one. It's been years and people STILL  mention Claudia Jordan (who did her cameo at Cynthia's wedding this year) due to her reading Nene for filth and STILL post that clip of it...as early as a few days ago on Twitter as a matter of fact (thank you, Peach Report) which has aged reeeeal well. Meanwhile, Kim Fields...uh I love her...but they is very rare that anyone post about her or her arguments from when she was on RHOA. I see Drew...unless she does something to stand out next season...going the way of a Kim rather than a Claudia.

Tamara Tattles hasn’t been 100% with he tea lately, but her new post is juicy. Link: https://tamaratattles.com/2021/04/19/exclusive-rhoa-tea-2/

 

According to Tamara Tattles, Bravo is as disappointed as us in the latest season of RHOA and they’re in a sort of RHOC situation where they don’t have any good talent on deck and they don’t know what to do. They’re rushing Potomac out sooner to save their Sunday night lineup. 
 

As of now LaToya isn’t expected to be back. Kenya is on the bubble because of the issue with Marc not letting Brooklyn film. Sheree, Phaedra and Eva are the only pass housewives they’d consider returning, but it’s not set in stone any would actually come back. Her source also said the reunion is “trash.”

 

Hopefully they can put their thinking caps in. They still have plenty of time before filming. It’s amazing that Atlanta has so much big talent on various reality shows, but the show that out Atlanta on the map can’t get anybody. To me that speaks to casting and their overall production team.

Agree about TT which is why I am waiting for more news to put up about the Moons before I take any of those BIs to be 1)true and 2) about the moons. 

 

But I just got out of the shower and was just thinking that yes, RHOA is in the SAME situation of OC...good reality shows that could be counted on that now look highly problematic.

 

And yes, that is done to production at this point. 

 

ETA: Darrrrrn I don't think I've ever since her so over it all.

 

And 'I OOPS' at her response re: Tanya.

Problem with Drew was that she tried too hard.  First seasons should be about being yourself, being authentic, and observing the crazy around them.  

 

Also, Drew just lacks charisma or the wow factor in photos..and in her talking heads.

 

With Nene gone, the show needed to find someone interesting to help with the transition (i.e. Porsha and Kenya in season 5) and they failed.

 

I can't recall any successful new additions since season 5 on Atlanta. 

 

Potomac:

 

I'm ready to hide...but I don't like Karen.

YOU are ready to hide? I actually like *Gizelle* so imagine what it's like for me. lol
But the good thing about Potomac is that I am interested in all of them, even the ones that get on my nerves.  I think Karen gets an easy ride from the fandom (her move out of Potomac *was* shady and she *was* lying) but she is a great TV character even though I would not want to have anything to do with her in real life.

I like Gizelle too! But I also love Karen. Their banter is A+. I pretty much can find something to enjoy with everyone on Potomac (yes, even Candiace). One thing: the RHOP women are ALL skilled fighters. There’s not a shrinking violet in the bunch.
 

Beverly Hills is (almost) the opposite for me, which is why I won’t be watching. I just don’t find these women likable. At all. It’s unpleasant as a viewer. Those first 2-3 seasons (and select later moments like Amsterdam) were brilliant, though.

    • 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.
