I don’t care what nobody says. Robyn has done nothing wrong, and has every right to be in her feelings about What Wendy did to her last year. I love how her real emotions are all over the place this season, a true human being! And I don’t think she right out lie either, she genuinely probably doesn’t remember touching her in the heat of the moment, and let’s not act like Cha Cha had to restrain her in a seat. If Robyn is aggressive so is Wendy Wack self!!!!

and what exactly did Wendy do to warrant all this energy? Robyn just looks bitter and miserable. Robyn LIED on Wendy in this past episode as did Cha Cha. Even if you want to believe that Robyn didnt remember, the fact that her memory was hazy meant she should taken her L instead of doubling down on something she wasnt sure about. She looked stupid

I'm down for Heather migrating to BH, and I'd be down for Cynthia Bailey migrating to BH. That would be quite the game-changer and a much needed shakeup to the Beverly Hills roster. (Side note: OC *might* suffer as a result, but let's first see what happens this season with Tamra's return & Taylor joining)

BTW: Hubby told me he read Garcelle announced she's leaving BH. Is that true??

Not that I see anywhere. I would be shocked though given how adamant she was at the reunion she ain't giving those heffas the satisfaction. Especially after Jax's attack. 

 

UNLESS her investigtion got finished and it was one of the ladies who sent the bots.

This chaotic trainwreck.

 

Just wanted to make a quick note to @Cat that as expected by us that this week began the narrative of Heather setting up to come across as the Betrayed Friend of Jen when they eventually get around to Jen's drama. She was backing Angie H, was being sorry, not sorry to Jen, and basically killed her in the Confessional. Yes, we saw her. 

 

As for this episode, how are any of these girls friends? lol. They might have been friends in Season 1, but this episode definitely seem more about alliances. Or just high school. Cuz Bad Weather fighting over Lisa? Well, she is fabulous, but still...lol. 

 

I enjoyed the battle of the Angies. I enjoyed Jen being activated. And this episode had some interesting day in the life housewife moments (hmmm Seth likes what?, Lisa has family, the waiter upselling Lisa's tequila not knowing who he is talking to). And that last scene with Bad Weather...felt more like two ladies battling for control of the show's narrative than a cousin quarrel. Very telling. 

 

And next week looks like the Housewives will be at the Omnia hotel here in San Diego which I've lived by, applied for work at, and had a nice 'divorce' settlement from with my Russian Ex. Also looks like the beginning of Danna vs Jen which I am here for.

 

JEN. A clocked in Jen is an entertaining Jen. Her going off on Angie K. Her going off on Angie H. Her throwing shade at Heather. Her worrying about it to Coach Shah. And we also still got some fun Jen at the start before all the drama. But I cannot help but feel this episode was the start of Production (that 'Amazing Grace' song in the middle of her yelling she's innocent at Angie H was hilarious) and the cast FINALLY coming for her....something they should have started doing last season. Jen...you about to be in the Hot Seat, Girl!!!! But hey...she will have a few feuds to keep us busy now so yay!!!

 

LISA. Well darn, Fabulous Ice!!! All these girls have her name on their lips!!! Stay fabulous!!! She was in top form this week and reminded me why I liked her so much Season 1. Her feud with Angie H continues to get some traction and she had Jen's back on that...so much so Angie H had to deflect by bringing up Lisa, Heather, and the tweet...good move on Angie's part and the sign of a good rival. Shame she let Heather derail her going off. I loved she gave us a relevation with her singing. And I liked her having dinner with her husband. Stressed...where? She was living her life and #winning THIS WEEK.

 

MEREDITH. She felt like such a sidekick this episode. Though...mmmmm Seth. And he likes WHAT??? Well...HELL-HO. lol 

 

HEATHER.

She was doing so well. In the breakup of Bad Weather, Heather was coming across as the one with common sense. Meanwhile, Little Girl was doing waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. But this week? No, ma'am. I've always said she was a more subtle version of Jen, but she was not subtle at all. Isn't this whole choir thing just an excuse to have a storyline? And now that Fabulous Ice produced receipts, the storyline with their feud over the tweet is dead so her harping on it is just as dead. Even Little Girl can see it and has jumped ship.  Meanwhile, irking Jen by allying with Angie H was not a good look at all. At least she saw the mistake she made on that. Too late? And finally, that whole last conversation with Little Girl makes me mad because I found myself taking Little Girl's side when I was Team Heather. Little Girl clocked you. Well, you clocked each other on having dueling narratives. Very telling. 

 

LITTLE GIRL. Lint.

 

So...good episode. Shockingly.

Well, it's official...she's out of there!!!

 

RHOM

 

It would appear that Bravo released some of the BravoCon panels so I watched the RHOM one. And it sounds like Alexia's telenovela continues...it sounds like she was saying without saying we might see Peter's father. Intrigued. 

 

DURBAN

 

Has been moved off Tubi and Bravo is actually showing it right now on Fridays now that ALL STARS 2 is done. Since I see the first three episodes, will probably watch.

I saw Durban was going to be on Bravo AND Peacock! Seems like Bravo is dipping its toe in the water of showing non-US-centric reality shows. It always surprises me because Bravo is reliant on US ratings only for ad dollars, and US-only viewers don't seem to have embraced Dubai or Real Girlfriends in Paris. The Peacock component is interesting because Peacocl did a worldwide launch of its streaming service last year, which allowed me to watch Miami. And I noticed that at Reunion last year, Andy was citing questions from international fans as much as US ones. So Peacock is taking note of worldwide streaming numbers even if Bravo TV ratings cannot.

As for Alexia, lol, I'm not surprised her telenovela life continues. Will be interesting to see her with the OG Bad Boy. 

The Ramona news made me sad. After the Black Shabbat episode, obviously, there's no coming back from that horror. But I do think Ramona was being baited last RHONY season by Leah and Eboni (and FTR I like Eboni and would have given her a second season on RHONY) into saying something 'shocking and racist.' We know she's a New York Trumper. Some people will feel that, as a result, she shouldn't be rewarded with a place on the show. Others might say that a large fraction (almost 50%) of US society votes this way, we cannot ice all those people out. I'm not sure which way to go, honestly, because I find politics fairly traumatizing and exhausting these days, as I'm sure many of you do. I've come to the point where having politics feature on RH as yet another wedge/stick for these women to beat each other becomes too painful and real. Ramona said as much on Carlos King's podcast, and I found myself agreeing with her. (Now, I'm not talking about the BLM marches shown on RHOA, M2M, because those instances felt like bonding moments for the cast to find common ground, empathy, and raise awareness to a wider audience).

The Carlos King interview was where I kind of reconnected to Ramona as a RHONY cast member, and I couldn't help but think afterwards how I wish THIS Ramona was doing RHONY Legacy. She was unfiltered, open and herself, in a good way. And if Legacy is going to be Jill, Kelly, Dorinda instead of Ramona.... sigh. Not really interested in Kelly. Jill is not the strategic pot stirrer she thinks she is. And Dorinda still doesn't get why she was 'put on pause' to begin with. She exhausted me in RHUGT 2, and I'm not sure i need to see her always so ON in this Legacy show.

Obviously I'll take Lu and Sonjarita on any RHONY show, lol. Ramona would have been a missing ingredient in that trifecta.

Boring? WHERE???

 

This girl that can't even dress for a theme event is already trying to stir the pot when old girl was being civil.

 

I do love the body positive fashion designer/dancer so far. And love that she can see there is tension between chick and other chick who HAS been to Dubai.

 

Loving everything about this first episode so far. It has been beautifully set up. Getting to know the ladies. Their dresses for this party. The whole vibe.

 

'Guys, I am not really a forward person. You know...I think when you laid something on the table, everybody needs to eat.' Ooooo...SHADE.!!!

Again....boring where?

Thank you for the international tea, Cat! THAT is VERY interesting. Perhaps they know something that Bravo do not. 

 

You remind me that I still need to finish that season as well as OC (which I think is next once I am caught up on shows) and NJ. But end of an era. Same about Lu. I admit I am curious about the reboot. 

 

Yeah I enjoyed seeing the RHOM panel. They were so beautiful and there were little hints about what's to come and I loved it. I also love the POTOMAC panel. If I remember correctly, that was the day they found out that Messy Mia was broke and they are (even La Dame) were coming for Mia...girl betta get ready for the reunion right now. I heard the M2M panel was vicious AF, but I'm not paying on demand to see it. lol.

RHOP:

  • So, we traded Askale, who was fabulous.... for a Katie wannabe? No thank you, ma'am.
  • Karen's blatant shade at Charrisse is hilarious, especially on the hand-held cameras.
  • Mia, I don't even want to visit Miami... but that location was a f**king MESS!
  • Wendy, you ain't sh*t. You will never be anything but sh*t.
  • Am loving Robyn's red hair. I genuinely am. It compliments her. Just wish the blonde were more blended, or the blonde and red were swapped.
  • The idea of room assignment names is hilarious... but nothing will ever beat Bethenny's Mexico room assigning technique by pulling numbers, LOL!
  • "She might rollover and get a mouth-full of titty." HAHAHA.
  • Candiace and Wendy being roomed together? Brilliant. Put those two nasty people together. Half-point to you, Mia.
  • Ashley trying to sneak the damn card back is hilarious.
  • The bathroom situation on Potomac is as bad as The Sims team trying to build houses and forgetting the bathroom.... Get Famous I am looking at you, girl!

Potomac is still the best HW franchise by a mile, but seven seasons in, we’ve arrived at a point where we’re beating dead horses, BH-style, and it might be good to shake things up. (That’s a pretty astonishing run of strong seasons. Maybe only matched by ATL.) Last season felt like the start of it. Ashley, Gizelle, Robyn, and even Karen are all coasting a bit on obviously manufactured stories; the return of Charrisse feels desperate; Mia and Wendy have proven to be casting fails. Maybe replacing the latter three would be a start, but Potomac feels hard to cast.

Brilliant critique,  those Get Famous gold toilets would have been a perfect fit in Miami, and Peter Thomas is the Don Lothario of RHOP.  The whole blueprint of that house was illogical, and I wouldn't like frosted glass sliders on a bedroom, they don't provide privacy or an aesthetic luxury appeal. 

Mia's better in confessionals than in group scenes, e.g. her love of Charrisse's failing eyelashes and the spelling of her name

I like the length and the color, but the streaks look like she spilled mustard on her head.

Meanwhile, I appreciate that after all of the comments Gizelle still can't style herself.  The pants are too tight, the hair is never correct, the color of the outfit is never attractive.  She is one of the most beautiful housewives on Bravo, but she dresses like someone without access to a full length mirror.

Also, love the editorial commentary of the post-production crew, like pointing out the distance to South Beach this week, and the ever amusing stop motion interstitial images.

    • Yes, Nicole's work would be seen as important, but she's wouldn't be (arguably) a national figure.
    • Y&R 1976 Pt 4 Lance finally gets the opportunity to meet Leslié’s  husband. Laurie has told Brad she believes Lance is in love with Leslie, and Lance himself tells Brad he’s in love with Leslie’s talent. Laurie is beginning to feel  that Lance is using her to get close to her sister. ‘When Leslie has a concert scheduled in Mexico City, Brad makes plans to accompany her. But his violent headaches unexpectedly return, and he’s forced  to cancel. Brad doesn’t give her a reason, saying only that she must trust him. But Leslie recalls that he missed her last concert without a reason and presses for an explanation. Brad tells her his mother is ill, but Leslie phones Mrs. Elliot and finds her mother-in- law quite well. Lance has a business trip to Rome in the works,and Laurie again agrees to accompany him. She has told Brad that the best way to handle Lance, who is used to having females swooning at his feet, is to play hard to get, while Lance has confided to Leslie that — since Laurie is used to adoration by the male species, he will ignore her. As a result, their Rome trip turns out to be a supreme battle of wits, but, as Lance notes to Laurie, being predictable is boring. Jack, trying desperately to help Joanne become independent and self-reliant, has encouraged her to  go back to college. Brock concurs, and even arranges for Kay to lend Joanne the tuition money. But on her first day at the university she overhears Jack telling Peggy that after he gets Joanne back on her own feet, he can divorce her and marry Peg. Brokenhearted, Joanne goes home and starts eating, but she’s thwarted by having only diet foods in the apartment. So she decides to give up once and for all, and swallows a bottle of medication. Brock finds her unconscious and rushes her to the hospital. When she comes to, she tells Brock she’s going to give Johnny his divorce. Seeing the report at his newspaper, Stuart Brooks kills the story, then goes to see Joanne. She insists she doesn’t want Johnny to know what she tried to do. Stuart does, however, tell Peggy, who goes to see Joanne. Peg is overcome with guilt, but Joanne tells her she’s now decided that Johnny still cares for her because,  with Brock’s help, she realized Johnny has still never  actually mentioned a divorce to her. She declares her  intention to fight for what’s hers. Joanne is surprised when Peggy insists on taking her under her wing to select new dresses which minimize - her weight and a new hairstyle that’s more flattering  and up to date But Peggy explains. she has to help Joanne to be the best she can so she, Peggy, won’t — win Jack by default. Bill Foster is deeply in love with his wife, but. she has refused to allow him to share her bedroom since his return. When Chris explains that Liz had him  legally declared dead nine years after he deserted his family and that, to Liz, their marriage ended, Bill asks Liz to marry him again. Ironically, Sam Powers, the man Liz would have married had Bill not returned, visits Genoa City to try one last time for Liz’s hand. Bill makes it clear to Liz that he will step aside immediately if it means her happiness, but Liz quickly reveals that Bill is now a changed man and she has fallen in love with him all over again. They are remarried in their own living room and are unbelievingly surprised when, just following the ceremony, their children hand them their own luggage, packed and full, and they are presented with tickets for a dream cometrue honeymoon in Hawaii, a gift from Stuart and Jennifer Brooks, their son Snapper’s in-laws. Brad has taken advantage of Leslie’s concert tour to have extensive tests made in Chicago. Brad was, for many years, a successful neurosurgeon there, but he  gave up his practice when a patient, a little boy, died on his operating table and he then found out the ‘child was his son. The boy’s mother, Barbara, had become pregnant shortly before her relationship with Brad ended and never told him about the child, as she couldn’t use the baby to force Brad to come back to her. Now Barbara, a nurse in the hospital ‘where Brad is being tested, pleads with him to tell his wife what’s happening to him, but he insists he cannot. The specialists find all test results negative; there is no apparent cause of his blindness. He refuses Barbara’s  offer of help and returns to Genoa City alone. Leslie’s mentor, the Maestro, arrives home before Leslie and hurries to tell Brad that Leslie knows his  mother wasn’t ill but feels it would degrade their marriage if she asked him where he had been. The Maestro adds that it’s all up to Brad now. But upon Leslie’s return Brad continues his pretense and offers no information. He can'f bring himself to let her her see what’s happening to him. Chris is on duty at Legal Aid when a Mrs. Nancy Becker and her daughter, Karen, arrive, asking for help. Nancy’s husband, Ron, has been arrested, and they have no money for food or for bail. She explains that Ron was arrested for rape, but she insists he’s innocent before collapsing and passing out. At the hospital Snapper runs tests and finds that Nancy is in a diabetic coma and may be hospitalized for several weeks. Chris, sympathetic to the woman and her child, takes Karen to her mother’s, and Jen quickly offers to  care for the child. Hoping to locate relatives who can help his family out, Chris visits Ron in jail. He tells her he has no family-and Nancy is estranged from hers because of their marriage. He asks her for legal help, but Chris replies he’s talking to the wrong person - she |was once a rape victim herself. Ron is soon released, when witnesses verify seeing him elsewhere at the time of the attack. But Chris is uneasy; her intuition as a rape victim tells her he’s guilty. Ron has lost his job because of being arrested, and Chris and Stuart offer to help him find another. Jen offers to continue caring for Karen.
    • Don't know if this has been posted; however, it appears the story bible, Shadows on the Wall, has been uploaded for anyone to snag here:  https://archive.org/details/shadows-on-the-wall-1 (rough draft) AND  https://archive.org/details/shadows-on-the-wall-1/page/91/mode/2up  
    • Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better off an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.
    • I will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.

      You're right about everything! The casino needs to go and it's ugly! The ugliest set on BTG.
    • Jayne Bentzen is the actress who played Nicole at that point. She joined Edge the year before, replacing Maeve McGuire.
    • Wait.....Anita is an EGOT, Vernon was an important Senator, and Dani was an international model (no matter how brief, although I thought she said she was on par with Tyra Banks(or someone)...meanwhile, Nicole's some nice psychologist/psychiatrist with an award on her wall...but Dani's hasn't added to the Dupree mystique?  I don't think the writers considered ever having any Dupree be less than utterly fabulously successful  and that's actually flaw in the structure of the show.  Oh, I forgot to say...Smitty acts like she stumbled into Vanessa's Only Fans account and paid for a picture of her dirty undies before realizing it was her.
    • I watched another batch of episodes and I have a sense of dread. I fear they are setting up a murder storyline with one of my favorite characters as the victim. I don't know if that would be considered a spoiler so won't reveal the character. If that's so, i will be extremely disappointed as this person has done Emmy caliber work and would create such a void on the show.  If I'm right, I think I know who the suspect will be and I would rather the suspect be murdered.  Joel Crothers's Miles has had more of a presence with his wife Nicole and I enjoy both actors. Crothers is just so yummy and charismatic. Don't know who plays Nicole but I like their relationship.  Ann Williams has been phenomenal as Margo. Margo is desperate to keep Eliot and make April happy. Williams had a nice scene with Kibbee's Geraldine about Logan and the baby. Eliot has been so slimy and menacing but he's so watchable. April and Draper are still fighting over the baby and something has happened to April to land her in the hospital. I just keep hoping she'll kick Draper out. The man is such a pain. Raven needs to come back and sleep with him. She can liven him up. Ann Flood and Frances Fisher had a wonderfully written scene where Deborah confesses her feelings for Owen. The writing and acting for this scene was first-rate. I want more of Flood. It's good to see Fisher getting more to do. Steve and his low cut shirts have been sidelined lately. The writers are setting up a Deborah/Nola confrontation.  Paige and Brian are still pretty much an afterthought. The movie plot is coming along nicely and there was a great episode where Margo had a party for the movie at her penthouse. Still enjoying the show.
