Members Cat Posted March 23 Members Share Posted March 23 @Taoboi I finally reached the SLC finale. What a season. What a turnaround! I can't believe that i was going to ditch watching. After last season ended, my take was that I did not like most of the women. Lisa is a superficial narcissist. Little Girl a smug, dirt-digging annoyance. Heather a smug, wannabe-OG, ass-kissing, pretend-victim. I liked Meredith but she was erratic. Mary, my fave, had been sidelined halfway through the last season. Anti-heroine Monica had started believing her own hype and blew the reunion big-time. I really feared we would have another S3 on our hands going into S5. Thank heavens you talked me around, because this was one of the best RH seasons across any RH franchise the last 5-10 years. It's actually a complete fluke/miracle a season like this even occurred. SLC was having trouble gelling it's cast organically as friends. It had sidelined last season's story maker. And yet, it came into S5 light-hearted, the women somewhat bonded by the Monica of it all, Little Girl rightly being called out for her shenanigans as she tries (and fails) to play with the big girls. A wealthy, big-personality newbie, the Bob (!!!), really helped to change the dynamic. FOH Brittani was comic relief. And Angie finally came into her own. I loved her this season; the friendship with Mary helped, but she also seemed imbued with confidence, while last season she felt full of insecurity. And Mary! This woman has taken her rightful place as the vulnerable heart of the show -- a place that was already unofficially her's in S1, but which Jen Shah coveted, and which Jen Shah schemed to sideline her. I know it's more complicated than that, and I can't speak to the Faith Temple hustling of it all (!!!). All i know is that Mary showed her vulnerabilities multiple times this season, and it made me warm to her even more. In the finale, her telling Angie she felt abandoned by her, and where that came from, her childhood.... it certainly touched me and felt completely genuine, and not an excuse for immature behaviour. Angie and Mary seem to have forged a true bond. As for the finale dinner.... I loved it. Even though it was scripted as hell. Production sat down and thought 'After last year's finale, we really need to do something that ties up loose ends in dramatic fashion.' Heather in OG-wannabe mode was reciting the script she had learned. She did not expect Mary's text to knock her off her feet, though. Mary's words were tough but truthful, and that's why they hurt Heather. But I will give H props for saying that she was now the more confident person she had always dreamed of being, that she knew she was deep down. The other texts? Angie's excoriating words to Bronwyn, and i felt bad for the Bob. They were super hurtful. Bronwyn, as flawed as she is, is a great addition, not least the way she exposes that narcissist Lisa who, it looks like, is going to see her marriage in the spotlight next season, as Bronwyn will likely see her's. Fantastic season focused on organic relationships. Who knew SLC had the old-school, character-driven, back-to-basics RH magic in them? I sure didn't. Now I can't wait to watch reunion! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 23 Members Share Posted March 23 Somewhere Larsa is laughing. Same. I originally was not planning on watching Season 5 either due to what happened to Monica, but it was a pretty great season. And that SLC Dinner Party from Hell will always be a favorite. The ladies knew they had to have a superb season after the excellent Season 4. Mission accomplished. There were no filler episodes for me even when there were episodes with no Mary. Mary, Mary, Mary. Her best season. She was still her, but adding so many layers to her. Showing how a Housewife SHOULD be. Good work. And I liked The Bob for the most part until the end...though I felt any issues I had with her at the end was put aside during the reunion, but you will see for yourself. Please register in order to view this content And oh, how, I hated Britani, but she DID manage to win me over at the end with her comic relief and honestly her taste in men. I think Production finally found themselves a successful FOH for this show. I can't answer those next two paragraphs lol except to say...I look forward to your thoughts on the reunion since it touches on both. You said it! The ladies had a lot to prove after Season 4 and the result was a season that was very enjoyable, rewatchable, and old school Housewife season. And currently filming with some tea already spilled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 24 Author Members Share Posted March 24 What they have a theme! Im surprised and love it Garcelle surprsingly looks GOODT! She's my favorite and only one I can say I love. I like Boz but the rest are rather safe. No bad, but not special 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted March 24 Members Share Posted March 24 I do like the theme - BH rarely has one, right? I agree, Garcelle is the best! I also like Boz and Erika. The others are pretty safe. Even Dorit is understated, which is surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted March 24 Members Share Posted March 24 RHOBH Reunion: You know what, I think they all look nice. After seeing some of the outrageousness over at M2M, do we really need to see dresses that look like costumes? I'm good. Sometimes, we have women with crazy funky dresses where objects are literally obstructing their view or at risk of poking an eye out. Enough of that already.
