I don't see what everyone else was talking about online. This episode was better than the last episode we got before the break IMHO. 

 

The tension has been building since the DnA event where Gizelle started to shade Mia about her storyline of two men. And the audience definitely did not like Mia speaking on Gizelle's kids, either. But Ooooooo at the OGs slowly, but surely turning against Mia and started to gang up on her at the end of the episode. Chef's kiss to me. And mind you...it was Stacey and Keiarna stirring the pot that led to said gang-up. I was only sorry that Jacqueline Mia's representative jumped in and the ladies pulled back.

 

And while the fun...outside of the dancing...in the last episode were like meh, I felt this was more fun. We still got scenery and fashion, but there was more genuine moments. Wendy and the hat. Seeing the La Dame/Gizelle friendship on full display...still giggling at 'Smooth Criminal.' The intimation game was cute. And then the walk to the next spot with La Dame posing in the door...just fun. 

 

LA DAME. Outside of Jacqueline's dig 'we're not driving, right, Karen?' and the fact it did seem like she was wearing her DUI wig, there was no sign of a hint of the DUI case. I was worried how I would see her in light of the video again...but it felt weirder to just see her...being her. I did enjoy her, though. That door posing. Her and Gizelle together and getting along. She even showed a 'little bit' of grace during the gang-up. And she is still giving out tea cuz...did we always know that Karen used to be married before Ray? 

 

GIZELLE. Lord she stay playing chess, don't she? Yeah, she should have gone even harder at the dinner table in the gang-up. That said...she got Mia good when she said that if Mia was going to start on her kids ON CAMERA, she better bring that apology ON CAMERA, too. And she was angry and you could see it. And she was not backing down until the waterworks started. And given her unfollow of Mia and the forthcoming reunion...I'm curious to see what she does next. Extra mention to her minion...I mean Ashley...also calling Mia out earlier in the episode. Meanwhile...Gizelle was...fun throughout. 

 

WENDY. She got her little bit in on Mia, too. Everyone else would like to forget Miami, but she definitely picks her moments to remind folk. Other than that, she did keep it fun and has been a great host for the trip. There has been some drama, but it has not at all gotten toxic.

 

ASHLEY. 'Say less.' I KNOW MISS ASHLEY DIDN'T!!!! lol. She came out to play this episode. Because how well she stayed on Mia's neck (while Stacey stayed on hers) should be studied. This was the Ashley I used to know and I enjoyed every moment of it. From her questioning Mia about the Tale of the Missing Kids (That Weren't) to her saying the above when Mia got offended she was checked to her shade, shade, shading Mia every chance she could get in her Confessionals, she did not let up. And Mia is NO La Dame when it comes to confronting Ashley. 

 

STACEY. She was a hoot as per usual. And I continue to love how she stays on Ashley's neck. And SAME about her opinion about Mia's blond hair...which as most people know here...I feel exactly the same. And we got a brief check in on TJ. I was only sorry that she was falling for Mia's lies.

 

KEIARNA. Thank you for the flashback, Production.

 Other than that, it was interesting to see how her and Stacey started that whole Mia gang-up. Since Keiarna was concerned for Ashley all day only to set Mia vs Ashley in motion. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the tea on her lawsuit with Sesame Street. 

 

MIA. Le sigh. Even I was sitting there watching this episode and taking popshots at her. Cuz how could she set up that G might have run off with the kids without checking in with the nanny or friend or whomever it was. Or even without calling her kids. It just came across like a stunt...right down to her trying to cry (to no avail) on camera. And since she was not mentioning it, no wonder everyone is giving her the side-eye...making it perfect for Ashley to start poking holes in her narrative. And then that tea about Jacqueline and Inc...just made it the perfect opening for the gang-up that came for her. I will still give her this much...in the part of the gang-up that was her vs Gizelle...she wasn't wrong either. Good, bad, ugly...Mia has put it all out there. However...NOW...it has become too much because it does not give 'in on the joke.' It gives...GROSS. Worse, she has doubled down, not taking her licks. She continues to play this game oh so wrong. And the OGs? OVER HER. 

 

A good episode. And next week...even with the Jacqueline/Ashley stuff...still looks good. So I feel a bounceback in energy coming.

Mia has to be fired. The way she's behaving about Gordon, their children, and Ink, is insane.

Another great episode.

Something has happened to Kyle's lower face. Her lips are looking weird.

Love an appearance from Martyn Lawrence Bullard in Erika's hacienda. He is this glamorous confection and is a genuinely nice guy.

Martyn Lawrence Bullard was on Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators back in the day (I'm talking early seasons of RHONY and RHOA back-in-the-day!) which was a great show. He was my favorite interior designer on it, even if his more-is-more style isn't my personal preference. I especially loved his clenched-teeth almost-nervous-breakdowns about 3 minutes before the Hollywood star was due to visit the finished home.

And to all LA-based people here, I hope you are safe. These Palisades fires are very scary and winds are still extremely high.

RHONY

Brynn is the Mia Thornton of that franchise

 

Totally agree. She is flatout calling Gordon an unfit father and has been proclaiming him to be disturbed with random bouts of bipolar manic episodes. If thats true, WTF would you leave them alone with him while you leave the country? This has got to be the most cringeworthy storyline bc its so uncomfortable to watch. NO ONE is here for her and her antics

Brittani had ANOTHER announcement last night and she had me DYING. I dont care what anyone says. She's iconic and needs a snowflake next year. She's generated so much material for the producer and women to work with. She had them activated but she handled herself well when a weaker bish would have been ran off. Respect

Damn... going out with a whimper. She won't be back. 

Hi y'all!

 Been out on holiday break and now busy busy playing catch-up at work and life. 

I too was hit with the bug. In fact, here it was late 2024 and I finally got Covid! Same with the hubby. As far as I know, it's the first time I ever had it and boy was it a doozy! 

Shall we do a Best & Worst of 2024, January Edition? Man, I gotta think back to the first half of last year... 

Edit: Karen Huger's peeps are saying she could not attend the reunion because she has entered a private recovery program.

Yeah, I was going to say what my favorite poster online says. If she is not at the reunion because she's in rehab...I'm fine with that. Otherwise...

 

ETA: Sorry to hear you two got the bug we all seem to have gotten. And you are doing well.

Yeeees! She is so relatable this season and reminds me of a good Sex and the city episode where there is this one friend that keeps it real. Her fake-persona while she was with that man... was HELL though.

    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • My bad….ill fix that  Fixed 
    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.
