Agree - I think Bravo and the production companies have gotten a little too soft and concerned in this sad cancel-culture world we live in.  I think they're scared, but I wish these reality stars would just realize that if they choose to be on a reality show, then deal with your reality... good, bad and the ugly.

I'm team Kenya, but I will say it was kind of awkward to use her own salon opening party as the event to expose Brit like that.  Everything she worked for was overshadowed by her stunt.  She should have just done it some other place/event instead.  

I loved Cynthia saying what we all thought on WWHL - that the long-awaited season of Atlanta was ruined by their choice to remove Kenya.

We also forget that Garcelle and Sutton (or just Garcelle this season) contribute a few things of importance, which is to ask questions of these women (who have already decided beforehand what can be discussed, and what cannot). They deflected onto Garcelle the 'don't talk about the son' thing, but really it is their sh*t they want hidden. The Kemsleys' financials, Erika's ongoing law suits, and of course Kyle who paraded Morgan around last season in an effort to turbo-charge her career, only to play coy this year.

Without Garcelle, it will be another season like S8 or 9 which were absolute bore-fests of scripted nothingness. 

And yes, the background looks tacky. I caught a Miami episode recently, and those cinematic vistas are on another level compared with BH.

First of all, the episode was overhyped! I expected a more dramatic episode; I was bored until the event as usual. 

So Angela is the new producer's pet, and finding out that she was the one behind the questions didn't sit too well with me. I bet the Kenya stans will ignore that though, cause they have been so team Angela but…

Angela got a lot of screen time and I do not care for Angela's daughter. If she doesn't want Charles I’ll gladly take him.

Kenya went out with a bang! Her story has come full circle. Her salon is gorgeous, and the hair show was a fun throwback. It was cool to see Ms. Lawrence too. Her speech was a mess but that's housewives it is what it is.

Now, I went up for some of the antics, “Been that Bitch”! And blowing off the dust.

Brit was wrong and so was Kenya. If Brit reached out to her before arriving with the flowers I would be more on her side though. 

Porsha had some cute moments in this episodes.

Kelli is a star. She's the moment. Love her personality. She had a ball at Angela’s event. She genuinely was laughing and just living in the moment.

She got a bodyguard! the party bus! I like how she spoke up for her friend, and loved her Lil walk out at Kenya’s event. Giving every bit of Erica Kane.

Overall, I'm Team Kenya on this. I do think she absolutely chose the wrong time and place to do this "outing" of Britt. At her own event with non-Housewives people there? No sis, bad move for your own sake. But otherwise, I thought she got a raw deal. 

On this season's first episode, I thought Kelli was doing too much right off the bat, but now I find her to be the only newbie I actually like. No to Britt and I'm not feeling Angela either. They made a great decision elevating Shamea and I loved how she squashed the beef with Angela immediately by apologizing for belittling her physical looks. Wise move on her part. 

I hope we see more of Cynthia without Kenya. They seemed to have mended fences after the whole Girls Trip estrangement. 

Speaking of which, do y'all think Girls Trips are officially done after the Brandi / Caroline fiasco that'll never see the light of day?

  I hope I'm wrong, but I really think so.  I think this Love Hotel show is their attempt to do something similar but moving away from the troublesome Girls Trip.  It wasn't just the Morocco trip that had random lawsuits from what I heard - I think the butler from another season tried to bring out a lawsuit too - maybe the one from the Berkshires.

I like how we got a semi-OG's Only Girls Trip with RHONY. I'd love to see them go that route again, reuniting the 1st season OG's (or from the first 1-3 seasons when all the shows got hot). I'd vote for Beverly Hills first because there's no way it would ever happen for New Jersey.

Didn't change my mind. I agreed with EVERYTHING Kenya did, with the exception I wouldn't have done it at my own event. She should have done it with just the girls around.

and that right there is why I beleive she was dropped. If it was contained within the group, it would have been easier for Bravo to control but she showd it to a room of random people, bloggers and others that had nothing to do with hte show. They couldnt keep it under wraps as this leaked immediately. I just wish she had thought this through bc what was the end goal? The only thing i can think of is that she was hoping she'd embrass Brit hard enough that she quit the show but thats no how it turned out

I'm thinking that's what she was going for. It's just too bad.

I really couldn't stand Kenya a few seasons back, but she has really changed these past couple of years. I truly hope her business is not affected by this.

She did make a mistake, but she should have thought of that before she started talking about that gun stuff.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      OMG! Yes!! Best of the episode and double so after my rewatch. She got Anita ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER. I can't wait to get caught up and see Sharon.   Now you.  re: Samantha.   Same. I was so annoyed with Month 2 for stalling on Martin's Secret, but in hindsight...that was perfect because I got used to their characters and their lives so NOW I feel so much more invested when the Secret comes out. And how it's been done as a slow burn during May Sweeps with Bill toying with them keeps Bill in villain mode while giving organic conflict for Martin and Smitty due to what's been written for them building up to this month. Bonus...it's clear the actors are soooo much more comfortable with each other.    The one thing that I looove about Vernon is that while that is very much true what you said...when need be...he shows very brief moments of an edge. CHOOSE SILENCE...like BE STILL...lives rent free in my head. lol. I can't wait to use that on someone.

      The last thing I want on a new soap -- or on any soap -- is an actor thinking she's a kid in a candy store. I know Cady has plenty of fans, but I'm just not fond at all of all these accents (and accent changes) and tics. The show should INSIST she settle on a consistent character for Pamela -- now. The idea that these established soap actors get to play around like it's a game is bizarre. I don't like what she's doing at all, and the fact that I can't tell you what she's doing makes it even worse.   The hour does fly by, and I do enjoy the show. I'm no longer on a high with the show and screaming "I love this show!" though. That's not a bad thing. We can't forget we're still in the first 6 months and every soap had to deal with first-year struggles and changes. I'm willing to give GATES time on all of it. In the meantime, though, I have to call out the stuff that isn't working. Yo're exactly right about the editing. Those "sudden drop offs to commercial"? I hate them. I think they're awful and poorly executed in all phases -- the timing, the music, the fade itself. I have no idea what they're doing. I've said this before: I think it's intentional. It's not just one director, and it's clearly a production choice. I think they want to be "the different soap." Sorry, this ain't the place to do that. They have not only ruined scene endings galore with these fades, but they have ruined cliffhangers. Ending a show with something dramatic followed by an "Oh, well" fade makes no sense to me.

      5-26   My system went down, but thankfully is back up. It's a shame that if I missed something, I just don't care. So May Sleeps indeed. smh.    That said...I found this episode intriguing. Yeah, it had a LOT of the characters that I didn't care about. And I know @slick jones probably glared seeing his man around that girl,

       but I will give credit where it's due.    It must be a sign there is about to FINALLY be story movement when we start to get artistic camera angles again...something that has been absent for a while. The overhead sweeping into the scene at the start of the episode? LOVE. Good to see Ed Scott is still around somewhere. And I loved what Phyllis had on and Amanda in the red. Claire continued to have her own style and Holden continued to look hot. And I continue to be in awe that the designer is trying her darnest to get Kyle from looking so stuffy but still keep him suited.    Everything Audra continued to intrigue. And I continue to feel that Kyle is totally going to fall into her trap because he is much too cocky. Holden is a great wild card, but I don't like him hinting that perhaps Audra actually have feelings for Kyle. THAT boat has sailed and would have been better used when Summer was around. Besides I love Audra with Nate.   Phyllis vs Sally will always be awesome. And they were both giving great lines.    I could care less for Billy.

      -- I agree that the vibes are there, but I can also make the case that it's a pale imitation. That Neil Winters Lounge is already a pretty classy place, but the decor make it look tackier. Those Happy Birthday signs are tragic in design and color. The tablecloths look like they've been chosen by Helen Keller. Where is Claire? We hear stupid reasons for her lateness, but we all know it's because this show is too cheap to pay for too many actors in any one episode. It makes NO sense that Victoria has that toast to Nikki without Claire's presence. And where is Cole? Off coughing somewhere? -- The rest of the show was watching people open their black invitations from Alexander Dumas -- for a party on June 13...TWO WEEKS AWAY. So we got through the entire sweeps and still no Dumas? The big sweeps reveal is a party in France in 2 weeks??? Why anyone thinks this is good soap is beyond me.

      Chandler Massey smirked in EVERY scene in which he appeared. He's not a good actor. He cannot get into character, ever, and plays every scene like he's Chandler running into an old friend on the street. I hate it because actors should take their work seriously and respect it and everyone around them.   It's all so real, to the point where there's no sense trying to separate Drake from his character. I snarked a lot over the years about Drake Hogestyn's acting -- very arch, lots of tics, over-the-top at times -- but I also think he was a great soap star. There was so much humanity in everything he did, and he was always a comforting and stabilizing force on screen. Flashbacks on soaps are almost always special and fun, but does anyone come across as more loving and filled with humanity than John? I don't think so. DAYS has suffered a lot of loss in the past few years. For me, this one hits the hardest.

      I have this for the 4th act on 11/9/88, which per my files, is the first time John and Stefano are in a scene together: Limo (Roman, Diana, Stefano, Milo) Then their second time together is 11/17/88 in the second-to-last act: ON LOCATION: Beach & Cliff (Diana, Roman, Stefano) I'd have to check the 2016 logs, so I don't know who shares scenes as easily in this year, but these are the last 4 episodes that John and Stefano were both in together: 1/8/16, 1/11/16, 3/1/16, 3/2/16.

      I'm going to respond to you about this show. I've been accused of hating on it for some reason or another. But as a 53-year-old black man I do not hate this show at all. It heavily represents people like me, but I want it to be treated well and not just pushed with half-assedness, which is what I feel has happened on several occasions so far. Bad editing, bad cliffhangers, or no cliffhangers at all, disappearing characters with dropped storylines, etc. I can understand shows no longer wanting certain characters or  storylines, but why the "Judy Winslow" effect? I'm really finding it weird that Jacob doesn't mention his father or his detective partner. Jacob was smack dab in the middle of them both.
