Ugh, been busy busy busy at work, but wanted to echo or give my lil' take on SLC... 

Mary Cosby continues to be the bitter Greek chorus of Utah and I love it... I know she's a hypocrite, but I still find Heather Gay entertaining... Lisa is Lisa; she's a necessary evil like a Tamra... I did so enjoy the pile up against Little Girl (I can't with her anymore), which actually kinda felt organic in that everyone started adding in their own two cents on the subject.

@Cat used the magic word I thought of while watching the show... very performative, with the worst offenders being Angie and the newbie. For me, everything Angie does falls flat. You can just tell everything she does is for the cameras. She could never make it as an actress. The scroll? Gurl, bye. The new girl's costumes were indeed costumes. Just stop. Halloween only falls on the calendar once a year. 

I do think some of Meredith's gripes against Whitney were weak when it comes to the line of products they each sell, but overall, I'm Team Meredith and her bathtub. I'll be interested in seeing the fallout between her and Mary, since Mary was seemingly the one constant friendship in a sea of ever-changing alliances on this show.

Heather played it all wrong when it came to Emily and her emotional response about the clothes when, in the Talking Head Interview, she said the dress was "tight" on Emily. 

Emily was not really blaming Heather. She was having a 'relatable moment' about her body and how she was feeling. Alexis, idiot that she is, didn't realize Emily was giving her a compliment and putting herself down when she said it was tough being in the same dress as size 2 Alexis. 

Tamra is super awful and she miscalculated the audience's reaction to Shannon and her DUI. She thought she would go hard on Shannon and be respected for it...but Tamra just comes across as an evil bitch who is wholly disingenuous. 

Shannon, on the other hand, has let it all hang out, yet again, and the audience will always root for that. 

Jenn Pedranti is like an original OC housewife - financially a mess, incapable of being an adult, and struggling to parent children. Now that she's also got a boyfriend cooperating with the FBI, she's going to reach icon status.

OC

 

I guess great minds think alike. lol. I know I've mentioned that I'm a season behind everyone else, but in between my work schedule, I have begun the Tamra Returns season!!! And so far, I'm enjoying it. 

 

OC has always been easy and breezy since you all got me into it on a regular basis. And three episodes into Season 17 so far...I feel the following...

 

TAMRA. She's having a surprisingly good return season so far. Tamra ain't anything if she is not stirring the pot. Watching her try to start a feud/payback with Shannon has been hilarious so far because Shannon is not at all rising to the bait. And even Tamra trying to get backup in Frick and Frack Emily and Gina has backfired on her so far because Shannon has been playing her cards right, knowing that Tamra is coming for her for a storyline. Meanwhile, I have loved getting an update about her life with Cut closing, her mother being around, and Ryan going back to being fugly. She has good tension with both Emily and Heather in case she wants to start another feud when/if she gives up on Shannon. And also she brought us the new Housewife Jen into the mix where she already has drama in knowing the timeline of Jenn's divorce and new relationship with NewHottieRyan.

 

HEATHER. So far, so rich. I admit that I was shocked to see Max filming since I vaguely remember post-Season 16, wasn't there stories about Max not wanting to film anymore with Heather due to how the audience felt about her story? That said...she's giving Rich Housewife and it looks like she is about to have some drama with Taylor from RHOBH.

 

EMILY. So far, she's been surprisingly low-key. From what I remember, her and Gina were the MAIN pot-stirrers with Tamra gone. I suspect that is really why there is some undercurrent tension between her and Tamra. The HBIC is back, and Emily is just a pretender to the throne so she better tread lightly...especially if she has ANY secrets. Outside of that and some low-key pot stirring in this last episode...Emily's been boring even when she's showing her family.

 

GINA. GIRL, BYE. lol. There is always one in every Housewife show. And for me (and I think you all know I was rooting for her after her glowup reunion look S15), I feel it's Gina. Just ugh. I can give her credit because outside of Tamra...she's been the REAL pot-stirrer so far. Befriending Jen only to get the tea on her. And now she saw that video and tried to start drama between Jen and Tamra. Even when Heather told her to drop it. And talking about Shannon behind her back? She is going to be messy. I can feel it. 

 

SHANNON. She has started off this season pretty decent. It is weird seeing her with John knowing what's coming. And her at the boat party interrupting Jen's story about her son....MESS!!!! Shannon is going to Shannon so it was great to see that no matter how much Tamra keeps trying to start for her, she's really kept herself out of the fray so now Tamra has no choice, but to take accountability if she wants to be friends with Shannon again.

 

JEN. One thing that OC has done and does well is introducing new AND interesting housewives. And Jen is in that mode. Married under mysterious circumstances. A relatable story as a woman starting again. Not to mention the story about adopting. And so far...she has been transparent. And also? Not afraid to mix it up as soon as Gina threw that bombshell out at the Cut Close Party, Jen maneuvered very well through that. And it's clear there is still more to tell with Jen and Ryan so welcome, Jen.

 

But that's what I think so far.

    • Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy
    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.
