Leah is so pressed and threatened by Heather. It’s pitiful. Maybe she felt like her place as the young(ish) white girl on the show would be on the line?

 

Her [!@#$%^&*] stirring is so artless and obvious. She needs to go back and study the Kenyas and the Tamras.

RHONY hit its groove this episode.  It felt right where it should be and the editing process allowed every beat to play out (unlike some other RH shows we could mention).

 

Eboni currently is playing The White Girl Whisperer but I have to imagine that is going to wear thin soon once Ramona, Sonja and Luann keep repeatingtheir mistakes. Luann will be the slipperiest. Nevertheless, I felt that she can handle Ramona and Sonja well, and she was essentially the voice of the audience watching Sonja spiral. Sonja has more going on than she is saying and I bet it's serious money issues.

 

It's not that I wasn't lowkey triggered by what Leah was trying to do, getting the army all aligned against Heather. It's that I could see that she and Luann are in cahoots and doing the stirring together. Luann was more than ready to jump on that bone, and she will be helping to bring Heather down. We all heard the podcasts Heather did about her time on the show, and it looks like she won't be backtracking from her statements, so I'm excited to see her bring receipts. I'm only bummed that this forced her out earlier than planned.

Yes I do believe that final trip got canceled because someone got COVID, but nobody would admit to it publicly so we will see if it’s revealed in the show. The trailer shows parts of the main cast trip in Salem. That’s when Bershan/Sonja have that fight where Sonja breaks the glass.

I think I heard that it was Sonja who got Covid towards the end of shooting.

 

Wait, and didn't Leah call out Ramona for partying with Douche Jr's girlfriend infecting people,  and then ended up getting Covid herself? Or did I imagine that?

These kind of lists are hard because everyone (me included) wants to nitpick this or that placement. My surprise is that, since the author mentions that the tableflip is #1, partly because the clip has been seen way beyond the Housewives watcher universe (which is true), I would have thought Aviva's leg-throwing would also be in the top considering that's another clip I see many non-watchers have seen or heard of as well.

RHOBH:

 

I am so glad that Garcelle is holding Rinna's flat a** to the fire. For once, someone isn't letting her get off scot's free with her heinous acts. And while Dorit is now saying on WWHL that she trusts Rinna 100%, the footage showed otherwise. 

 

And Erika is a moron for agreeing to do this season. I hope she knows that the FEDS are clocking everything. If she don't know, she better go and ask Phaedra and Apollo. 

 

RHONJ:

 

Y'all know I ain't never been pro-Tre, but this season--this reunion swayed me to her side. Jackie/Melissa/Marge alliance must me demolished. How they are always in sync when it is blatantly obvious one of them is lying and it was sickening. 

 

And Jennifer was the star tonight. I was salivating over her eating Marge and Melissa alive.

Ain't no one backing down on RHONJ, I LOVE it!

 

I hear they are ALL back next season, which starts taping soon, and there's a new AA HW added to the cast, Akeesha Colon (spelling could be off)  My apologies if this was already revealed!

I know everybody hates these shorter seasons, but this season has been flawless and this reunion? My god! This was one of the best reunions I've ever seen. It wasn't super dark, but it had a steady flow of drama and this cast has good chemistry. The only person I do think they could afford to lose is Jackie, but I'm okay with her staying. I'm glad they're getting down to the obvious which is that the rumor came from Margaret. Her husband completely gave that away, because how could he know that and not her? I hope they tear her ass up next week!

 

RHOBH

 

This was a strong premiere that did a great job of setting things up and also delivering a high level of shade. This felt like RHOBH at it's best. They finally have a cast with chemistry that works. The MVP was Garcelle. She wasn't the only one, but it cannot be stated enough how she carried this premiere. She was in almost every scene! People were mad she missed a few events last season, but it seems like she's very involved and in control! Crystal had a nice introduction and seems like she'll easily fit in. I didn't know what to expect of her considering she's younger, but she's definitely not intimidated or afraid. I feel Kyle and Rinna will have the least to offer this season, but they didn't bother me. 

 

Also LOVED seeing Sutton with a diamond and title card.

I hate to admit it, but...I liked it.

 

On one hand it was a good premiere. It took us back to Ground Zero with the wannabe...I mean BH ladies...who apparently don't keep in touch with each other (other than Garcelle and Sutton) outside of filming. And outside of those wannabes, all I cared about was Dorit who continues to be in her own little world as she continues to balance between the Mean Girls (+ Crystal) and the Real Girls (aka Garcelle and Sutton + Will Smith's ex). 

 

On the other hands, it also dealt with the fallout from last season's reunion. And I found that the best part of this premiere. It did a great job of bringing in this new tension while being a first episode. And by doing it, it brought back BH's old school intrigue that it used to have. It was known that Garcelle fell out with Ex Soap Opera Star over her betrayal of good friend Denise F*cking Richards. It was also known Garcelle did not take kindly to Kyle's weak sauce attempt to make her look bad. And since forewarned is FOREARMED, Garcelle has come into this season gun blazing and with a craftly straightforwardness that is refreshing as well as dangerous. It was very telling in her talk with Sutton at Dorit's BBQ how while Sutton gave great advice, Garcelle was keeping her cards close to the vest and if Ex Soap Opera Star thought otherwise...to quote Garcelle...'HER bad.' While it kinda seems to be known how it ends with Kyle and that soap opera star, I will be enjoying every minute of her staying on their necks...including if one of them is the one who apparently will be trying to play the race card and she had to gather them all the way together per an interview she gave recently. 

 

The other mystery is Erika. I did not like that heffa AT ALL. And I have to wonder what game Production is playing. Like Shady Phae Phae and Apollo before her, she knows the FBI is watching. And what does Production do? They are showing EVERYTHING. Closets of clothes. Wide angles of houses. Fast cars. All kinds of jewelry. But yet she can't pay back all those people her husband stole money from to fund her careeer allegedly? And worse...she is flaunting all of them while playing victim a la Brandi. I will enjoy seeing her roasted. And I hope she does get roasted.

 

So starting out the season...

 

KYLE. Other than the addition of Kathy...who is a great bridge between Kyle and new girl Crystal...Kyle ain't bringing anything. Though her fashion game has gotten a little better. And I see after her failed attempt to be Queen Bee, she has gone back to being whiny Gretchen Weiner again. Ugh.

 

DORIT. Harmless and still fun. Is that the first time we have seen her with PK in a while? And I am sadden after holding Kyle's feet to the fire, they are back to being buddy buddy. And I loved seeing her kids have grown.

 

EX SOAP OPERA STAR. GUUUUUURL, YOU...ARE...DELUSIONAL if you think that Garcelle has truly forgiven you and no amount of fake acting is going to do. OWN IT!!! That's what you told Denise, riiiiight? At least it was a joy to watch Garcelle put pressure to her. In fact, that whole lunch was great since because they were BOTH showing who they were to the other. So...believe it.

 

CRYSTAL. Honestly? Too early for me to tell. On one hand, she is aligned with the Coven. On the other..she brings back (along with Sutton, Garcelle, and Dorit) an element of glamour and money. The fact that she knows Garcelle outside of the show and before casting is intriguing. And anyone who is an actual friend of Kathy Hilton must be a powerful woman in her own right. I am thinking of that picture last season of Kathy, Jenner, and Faye. So even though I want to be Team Sutton in the feud that is coming, I'm open minded.

SUTTON. CONGRATS!!!! On the diamond. And already she is in a good spot. The best thing about her besides her wealth is her friendship with Garcelle. I loved seeing it grow. I love watching them have fun. I love that they can clearly talk to each other about anything and keep each other's confidence. And her sense of humor ('hey, Landlord!!!!) is still on point. 

 

ERIKA.

Well, since Terri Demarco is no longer with us, you will have to do. 

 

KATHY. LOL!!!! A HOOT SO FAR!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE MISTOOK GARCELLE FOR KYLE. I CAN'T!!! 

 

GARCELLE. BOSS BITCA. Like I said above forewarned was forearmed. And Ex Soap Opera Star warned they might be coming for her this season. So from where I'm sitting, it appears Garcelle is playing a game of chess. And she is also not backing down as she lines up what she wants to do and where she wants to go. And she is really coming across more polished this season. After last season working, being a HW, and taking more of a backseat, Garcelle looked like she has observed enough with these witches to know what to do stay ahead of the game. Look fab. Resolve issues. Throw some great shade (Kyle and the goldfish everyone?). Gather hoes as necessary. Her lunch with Ex Soap Opera Star was one for the books, echoing for me the LVP/Adrienne sitdown Season 3. And I cannot wait for her to gather Kyle next week. 

 

And to think people think Garcelle cannot do much...black girl magic.  

 

Oh yeah!!! I forgot about Salem!!! I can't wait. 

 

I think they might have still did that cast trip once the person got well. So another mystery. hehe. We'll see.

 

You're good.  I was going to mention that to Chris today and see if he heard as well. Intriguing.

    • 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.
