RHOM

 

Well, it might have taken me forever and a day, but finally have gotten back around to my viewing of RHOM Season 5. Currently made it through Episode 6 and 7 and...

 

...Lisa continues to be the storyline. And I liked it. I believe I mentioned the last time I watched that I felt like she kinda saw it coming with Lenny, but she assumed that they would work it out. And Production was sure to give the rollback from last year's reunion as well as throughout this season so far, that the signs were always there. Sad to see it, but I respect that Lisa was transparent and showed EVERYTHING. And Lenny's mother being there for her when she has NEVER liked Lisa...is just WOW. Though yes, I know how it ends sadly. And I also loved that regardless of all the fighting during Alexia's latest birthday that they all can band together to support Lisa. 

 

Speaking of fighting...like a great telenovela, RHOM continues to give so much...and awesome fashion, excellent scenery, and just a great vibe all around. I should have known that in time, Alexia would show up to be 'the star' like she always does. However...her itch to be said star (outside of her organic BFF friend reaction to the Lenny reveal of getting on a plane, fighting the girl and Lenny, and pulling up on them which I LOVE cuz SAME. I'm THAT friend heehee) was ruffling feathers. And it also gave echoes of my favorite RHOM opening...SEASON TWO with New Miami vs Old Miami. Guerdy called it here...and Nicole did the same last season. There IS a pecking order and Alexia and Marysol just expect everyone to fall in line. Uhhhh NO. This ain't high school and they are all grown. So expect pushback. 

 

But wow!!! Alexia and Julia?? JULIA? Alexia and Guerdy...which was been building since Episode 1 of this season due to Alexia's shade. And now...Alexia and Adriana? Adriana??? Does she not know Adriana DOES NOT PLAY?  I mean even that talk between Alexia and Julia at the stand...all Alexia needed was to be humble pie and grin and nod because she was in the wrong. But...NO. Not a good look on Alexia. But it gave some moments for sure. 

 

As of right now...

 

ALEXIA. Girl just can't have a birthday party without any mess, can she? lol. But seriously, it really was not a good look on Alexia to make those comments at Julia...and then DOUBLING DOWN on them. No, ma'am. And then she tried to deflect. First to Adriana. And then Guerdy? I mean...Alexia gives good reaction shots to so...a reach. And then she wanted to get bull-headed when Guerdy called her out on having a big head. Girl, bye. I did like Adriana clocking her with COCAINE COWBOYS though. As 'The Star,' she gotta learn to take her licks too. It's not all about playing victim.

 

LARSA. It continues to surprise me how well she's fitting in this season vs last season. And to think she and Lisa started the season, silly feuding. I loved her being by Lisa's side during that dinner before Lisa flew home. And while I get what she meant about how divorced people should give advice to divorced people, I was still Team Guerdy in terms of everyone having an opinion. Deal. 

 

GUERDY. Speaking of fitting in better, she continues to. And at this point, they all should know that Guerdy can overreact. No more different than they do tbh. Alexia's mistake was trying to deflect onto her when Alexia should have just apologized. Cuz that gave Guerdy the floor to gather her later. And since Alexia likes to hold a grudge (and I still haven't seen Guerdy with those awesome bangs from the trailer), I know this rivalry has some legs and I can't wait. 

 

JULIA. Kitten got claws!!! lol. It was nice to see Julia get into the fray. And it was funny that Alexia would be mad that she came for her and so did Adriana when her and Marysol also do the same to others. Like Guerdy and Larsa, also fitting in nicely. And I love her friendship with Adriana anyway. And Guerdy during the phone call makes three. I can't wait for more. And we are sure to get it given the tea Larsa dropped at the end of Episode 7 about the man. 

 

NICOLE. Can I just say...in case I didn't...coming to a party in a whole boat. THAT'S AN ENTRANCE!!!! lol. Nicole was pretty low key these two episodes, but I loved her reactions all the same. 

 

LISA. MVP. I do wish we had some footage from her run-in with Lenny and the girl at the club. I remember that in real time. It would have been so nice to see it. Still...Lisa gave so much over these two episodes. The drama with the girl and the nanny. The call to Lenny. The storming off from Production. Sitting with the Mother-in-Law. I was watching. Just a mess...whether she was deluded or not. 

 

MARYSOL. Not really doing much except being Alexia's lapdog. Okay, not true. Being there for Lisa just as much as Larsa. That I liked.

 

ADRIANA.  For a FOH, she was bringing a lot. Comedy. The history about her theme song music. Her trio with Julia and Guerdy. And now she continues to have this drama with Alexia over Theirry. Their rivalry has been interesting to watch cuz who would have thought that with Las Cubas. And that drama...like most of it on this show...is building. 

So...great showing. Can't wait to continue...

Holy sh*t Erin jumped the shark tonight. She is a younger, dumber, more entitled, and less hard working Ramona. The white fragility is strong with this one.

She was literally crying to her father that Ubah confronting her was the "meanest" thing she's ever experienced. And THEN she talks about the childhood trauma of having a "long jaw" and being called "Long Jaw Silver" in school...this woman hasn't experienced anything bad in her life. Nothing. She really thought she was going to garner sympathy with all of that?

While the whole thing was annoying, I guess I'm in the minority as I was Team Erin in this whole thing.  Ubah overreacted and acted like a complete child in her sunglass and timer tirade.  That was so completely ridiculous, and then mid-conversation with Erin, she yet again loses that precious phone of hers.  If it really is that important to you on a vacation, stop losing it every 12 hours on vacation.

This season has flatlined though... the stupid little arguments are petty and childish and the ladies aren't gelling well anymore.  Hopefully they get it figured out for Season 2.

RHONY:

Sai needs to be the comic relief... she's funny especially in her talking heads.

Jessel keeps a notebook on things people say to her and how she feels about it.  I will say if you're going to hold a grudge, I guess you need to keep things written down for reference.

Erin vs Ubah.. both were wrong.  Twitter seems to hate Erin.. but Twitter (X) usually is the place where the extremely emotional go to vent.

Jenna played the whole retreat and act all shy/innocent... I'm sure Andy and co paid top dollar for her and she needs to deliver or she's a one and done.

Brynn seems likable... but she needs to be herself instead of acting like a Samantha Jones carbon copy.   And I've heard many a people stumble with pre-med once they hit that Chemistry class so she isn't alone there.

I've been watching a number of old pilots lately. This, with Matthew Broderick and Kristen Johnson, among others, has what may be one of the more random Housewife cameos. About 20 minutes in, when Johnson's character gives a speech about tearing down a rotted schoolhouse, she introduces her preservation committee co-chair...Kelly Bensimon. Kelly grins and shakes her hand.

Thanks for the head's up, because that, and Jessel's digital Burn Book, was the funniest thing on the episode! I cackled evilly when Erin in her VT started welling up and getting shaky-voiced as she painfully gulped the words "Long.... Jaw.... Silver."

We all have our cross to bear when it comes to middle-school trauma, but in the context of nu-RHONY's wealthy bubble, it's time for Erin and Jessel to give up: Sai and Brynn have pretty much won the Feel-Sorry-For-Me Olympics on this show, lol. Unless Ubah reveals something in next week's episode. 

Like many of you, I think both Erin and Ubah did themselves no favors with how they handled this argument. Ubah dragged out the anger and resentment for much longer than needed. She is super intense, a little anxious, and fixates on issues, making them bigger than they actually are (as a fellow singleton, i can relate to that; we don't have a partner to bounce things off of). However, one reason she was holding onto a grudge was that she never got a straight apology from Erin. Erin demands immediate apologies fron the women, but when they demand one from her, they get dismissed with "It's a joke! Don't you have a sense of humor?" Or "that was 3 months ago, get over it." (Both are like red flags in front of a bull for me).

Erin can dish it out but she can't take it. Since the first episode, she's been picking on people's words and behaviour, looking for a stick to beat them with. (Notice how she and Sai are allied in going after Jessel going in next week's episode). Now that the other women have cottoned onto her game, she doesn't like being on the other side of their scrutiny. 

In the end, though, I like that the two pretty much got over it by episode's end. Until reunion, that is.

Is it just me or does anyone else not like Sai? I just find her to be dark energy. She stays starting crap (alongside Erin), but she tends to walk away unscathed. I PRAY that they hung her out to dry at the reunion. She and Erin irk my nerves the most out of the new batch of apples. 

Dare I say it, but Bravo needs to add a new city or two because one part of the year can't be top-heavy with shows while the other lags. Yes, I get that Dubai, BH, Potomac, NJ, and Miami are all going to pop up November/December, but they really need another show in rotation at the moment with SLC and NY. Dare I say, but either revive Dallas or DC and just give them a smaller episode count. Bravo just feels vacant right now.

I find Sai hard to warm to for precisely the reasons you indicate. During the Anguilla trip, she did show her fun side, which was welcome. But she is definitely stirring the pot -- encouraging Ubah and Jessel to b!tch about Erin whilst getting Erin riled up about them.

I see in the preview that she keeps gate-keeping the 'my trauma is worse than your trauma' stuff with Jessel. This is after her ridiculous meltdown on the boat because she didn't deem Jessel's history authentic.

For the record, Jessel needs to stop with the false equivalencies of 'My uncle was an alcoholic, just like your mom!' (as next week's trailer shows). It is not the same, and Sai is 100% right to point that out. Nevertheless (and I know I've said this before), this very privileged group is strangely competitive when it comes to hard-luck stories. I see it in real life too, especially among connected, wealthy people. It's like they are low-key embarrassed about their wealth and background, and that only with backstories involving poverty/neglect/hard work/against the odds can they somehow 'prove' their credibility or authenticity -- and burnish their brand.

Sai definitely believes she has already won that game, and it comes off as smug. Maybe she is entitled to be smug given all she has achieved in her life! She seems to have worked hard at it and was not handed opportunities on a silver platter -- of that I have no doubt. Sai can be unlikeable, and that's unusual on these RH popularity contests.

 

"Dubai, BH, Potomac, NJ, and Miami are all going to pop up November/December"

---- Wait, what? All 5 shows screening at the same time?? That's too much! My sweet spot is 3 at a time, in case one of the shows is a dud.

How can I choose between BH, Potomac, Miami?? I'm intrigued by Dubai's sophomore season for sure. (NJ if it weren't for the fact that I am now completely exhausted by the Gorga family dynamics).

It would be nice if Potomac were starting about now, leading into a December start for BH and Miami. I feel like Potomac and BH wrapped up filming some time ago. Dubai too.

SLC

 

MARY!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

OC

 

REUNION LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I agree. Bravo seems at their best when there shows are in threes...with the other Bravo shows flitered around that, giving a great week...especially if you like their other shows (Below Deck, Married2Med, SC franchise, etc.) I loved knowing what day was what...something with my work schedule I don't even know at all now...especially when Bravo does weird things like double booking their shows (2 shows in one night, rushing seasons...great dramatic seasons at that...for lame other shows). 

 

And BH, RHOA, and POTOMAC  in the fall or NJ, NY, OC  in spring at the same time used to be the 3 combo standard.

 

Now...yes...all of those shows (especially Dubai) wrapped a while ago.

What happened?

Agreed; it's too bad Potomac wasn't ready to fire off right after Atlanta ended.

@NothinButAttitude Besides NuNYC and SLC, we also still have OC!  It's currently just SLC & OC in my house.  I actually just happened to watch the most recent NuNYC and I still can't warm to this group. The flirty drunk reminds me of Molly Burnett from her DAYS days.

Yes, please don't forget OC which has recovered its mojo after 5 seasons in the doldrums! It's been an entertaining ride, and this week is the alliance-swapping, back-stabbing season finale.

I don't know why Poromac isn't yet ready, which kind of worries me. However, I had forgotten M2M comes back around this time too! SIX RH (adjacent) shows! I love M2M. Teresa, Dolores, Jennifuh, it was nice knowing you.

Molly Burnett had a few decent moments in her Days career LOL but I know what you mean with Brynn, and now I can't unsee it.

    • I saw a new BTG promo during Watson tonight (Sunday May 11).   I don't remember what I saw (and I wouldn't say here on the nonspoiler thread anyhow). I know only that it was different from the "next on BTG" preview at the end of Friday's episode. If anyone catches the new promo, please post it on the spoiler thread.
    • I hope GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial I'd love to have Scott, Robert, Holly, Rose Kelly, Mike Webber, Blackie Parish  & Claudia Phillips return for the episodes
    • As requested by @BoldRestless the 1976 story summary of Y&R from the Daytime serial newsletter. I will post it in parts as it is quite detailed.  Pt 1 Set in Midwestern Genoa City, The Young and the  Restless, which premiered four years ago, is the story of the Brooks and Foster families. Jennifer and Stuart Brooks are, on the surface, the perfect couple, blessed with four beautiful daughters, but under the veneer of a first impression lie cracks in the facade. Jennifer had become dissatisfied with her marriage after the birth of her oldest daughter, Leslie, and had left Stuart with the idea of returning to her former fiancé, Dr. Bruce Henderson. After later reconciling with Stuart, Jennifer found she was pregnant with Laurie, and she has lived all these years with the suspicion that Laurie may be Bruce’s daughter. Leslie  has recovered from a nervous breakdown and is now a famous concert pianist, happily married to former Surgeon now newspaperman Brad Elliot.  . Chris Brooks is married to Dr. William (Snapper) Foster, and Peggy, the youngest Brooks daughter, is a college student. Jennifer recently left Stuart a second time, considering again a life with Bruce, but the discovery of a lump in her breast followed by a mastectomy for cancer has again changed her priorities.   Laurie, meanwhile, has been dating Dr. Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son.  Snapper’s mother, Liz Foster, had finally accepted the fact that her husband, Bill, had abandoned their family and had had him declared dead when he suddenly walked back into their lives, suffering from emphysema. Jill, Liz and Bill’s only daughter, was married to Phillip Chancellor, the father of her unborn child, just hours before his death. Phillip obtained a quick Caribbean divorce upon learning of his impending fatherhood and was badly injured when his now-ex-wife, Kay, meeting him at the airport upon his return, lost control of the car when he told her of his plans to marry Jill. After Phillip’s death Kay vowed to void his marriage to Jill and deprive Jill of |his estate. Kay’s son from her first marriage, Brock Reynolds, supports Jill in her claim, but Kay, a former alcoholic, cannot accept the idea of having lost Phillip to her former paid companion. Greg Foster, Jill and Snapper’s brother, is an attorney working for Legal Aid, where Chris is his assistant. Upon learning that her daughter Lauralee has become engaged to Dr. Bruce Henderson’s son Mark,Jennifer Brooks tells Mark she suspects he and.Laurie are half brother and sister. She explains she spent a week with Bruce after a bad fight with her husband, Stuart, when she believed their marriage was over. A blood test confirms her fears—Stuart cannot be Laurie’s father. Keeping what he’s learned to himself,Mark painfully breaks his engagement to Laurie and leaves town. Laurie is shattered by this, unable to understand what went wrong. But soon she begins to put bits and pieces together and confronts hermother, asking what she said to Mark that drove him away. Jennifer finally tells her daughter the truth and stands helplessly as Laurie turns to run to her father for comfort and suddenly realizes he’s not her father—even this her mother has taken from her. Laurie follows Mark to Cleveland and tries to persuade him that they can still be married—they need not have children—only to be hurt again when Mark sadly tells her their love would become dirty and they would wind up hating themselves and each other. Heart broken, Laurie agrees to let him go. Jennifer has recently left Stuart, due to growing frustration in her marriage, and had planned to marry Bruce, but discovery of breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy caused her to reconsider her plans. When Stuart earnestly pleaded with her to come home to him and their daughters after her recovery, she agreed, but now her guilt over Laurie’s situation has caused her to waver. When Laurie confides the truth to her older sister Leslie, Les makes it clear to her mother that she finds the idea that Jennifer would think of returning to her father contemptible. But Brad Elliot,Leslie’s husband, warns her to hide her feelings or her father will notice and ask for an explanation.Jennifer gives in to Stuart’s wishes, and he welcomes her home as his wife again. Leslie has had two more piano-concert triumphs and basks in the attention of the music world, as well as that of Lance Prentiss, a wealthy industrialist who has been following her career with avid interest. Les invites Lance home to Genoa City, hoping the dynamic, handsome young titan of business can help distract Laurie from her heartbreak. With the birth of Jill Foster’s baby imminent, Kay Chancellor offers Jill one million dollars for the child —fathered by her late husband, Phillip Chancellor. After Phillip’s death Kay had the divorce ruled invalid and voided Jill’s marriage, making her unborn child illegitimate. But now, finally acknowledging Jill’s baby as Phillip’s, Kay tells Jill she can give the child the Chancellor name and social position, as well as the love she had for Phillip. Jill, torn by love for Phillip and his baby and the extreme financial need of her family (Jill’s father is dying of emphysema and needs a warm, dry climate), realizes that Kay can give her child everything he could need, things Jill could never provide, and agrees to Kay’s terms.  Jill’s son, Phillip Chancellor Foster, is born prematurely a few days later. Liz Foster, Jill’s mother, is horrified that Jill would “sell” her son to Kay, and Jill’s father, Bill, is horrified that it is concern for his health that led Jill to this arrangement. He would rather die than give up his grandson. But when Jill, who has avoided seeing her child, has to take physical custody of him in order to deliver him to Kay, she is suddenly unable to give him up.

        haha you did good explaining all that. So basically Monday's episode is gonna be what was suppose to be Friday's episode. Even though CBS and PPlus uploaded Monday's Aka Friday's show before they deleted it? LOL
    • I do mean those two, but when I download them, the Chris from Greece version is from RTL with subtitles and starts with a doctor greeting Stephanie and the rsclassicfanfanforever version is from Videoland, no subtitles and starts with Tawny and Becky? Sorry if this was already discussed. Is the Chris version merged with another episode? That one is longer.
    • B&B episode Episode #9521 (Season 38, Episode 162) was scheduled for Thurs. May 8. It was officially preempted, although some areas saw it, (Some areas saw the Steffy/Finn/Monaco rerun on May 8.) cbs.com and PPlus had 9521 (S38,E162) uploaded on May 8, despite it being preempted from that date, and they never took it down. B&B officially aired #9521 (S38, E162) on broadcast CBS television on Fri. May 9. B&B officially postponed the next episode #9522 (Season 38, Episode 163) to air on Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus had #9522 (S38, E163) uploaded Fri. May 9, despite it not airing yet on broadcast tv until Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus still had the early upload of 9522/S38,E163 available on their websites for about a day and a half, LOL,... (even though it doesn't air until May 12)... and then they finally removed it from their websites.   ALSO... at the same time as removing 9522/S38,E163 . . . .  cbs.com and PPlus fixed the website label for #9521 (S38, E162), which had displayed as "May 8" but now correctly says "May 9". --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Canada "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded #9521 (S38, E162) on Thurs. May 8, because they didn't realize at first that it was preempted in USA. Eventually ctv.ca Canada deleted the early upload of S38,E162. But then... "ctv.ca" Canada didn't re-upload #9521 (S38, 162), even after it aired in the USA officially on May 9. And apparently they were afraid to upload anything new, so for a couple of days, the most recent episode available  on ctv.ca was Wed. May 7,  #9520 (S38, E161). Finally  "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded *BOTH* of these: #9521 (S38, 162) (USA official airdate Fri. May 9)... And #9522 (S38, 163) (USA official airdate Mon. May 12)... listing it as as Monday May 12 and it's still on their website. --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Australia: "10play.com.au" fast-track Australia seemed to know what to do. They waited until 9521 aired in USA officially before uploading to their site. They haven't uploaded 9522 yet. (I don't have access to view Australia episodes, but I can see their menu. I kept checking their website multiple times over the past few days, and I saw the thumbnails and episode descriptions.)  ------------------- That was extremely confusing for me to type up. I probably made some errors. LOL.
    • The one that Christos did would be the RTL Lounge recording (without end credits and subtitles) and the one @rsclassicfanforever did would be the Videoland version with end credits and no subtitles). Is that what you mean by two versions? @BoldRestless
