Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[Cat]

Seriously! Brooks was always very Malificent, thriving off the downfall of others, which was toxic. But clearly she had studied the RH and knew she had to be the chaos agent while Ayan knew to be the meme. Stanbury was the Queen Bee, Lesa was the insecure beauty, jealous of Stanbury's influence. Sara was my girl, fronting for her culture but hiding things. These women were flawed but I miss what they contributed. I wish he had a S3 to watch. I'd love to know how the Ayan/Lesa friendship survived, and why the Sara/Saba friendship went south. A month ago, Taleen, Stanbury and Ayan met up for lunch and posted on their social media, and it was nice to see some of the relationships still going strong.

I hope Garcelle and Camille both feel vindicated. Its a pity neither will be around when the fake robberies are surely exposed.

Dubai season 2 was so so good. I don’t know how you see a season deliver like that and say you know what let’s pause this. Absolutely baffling.

I love yoyu and we have many of the same takes but couldnt disagree morer on this. I thought Dubai season 2 was dreadful and was the worse series of last year until NY. Ayan whom I loved in season 1 was doing way too much and ruined it for me. Sara also got worse to me. Taleen was an awful addition and the biggest offense is that the women did not have chemistry.  Saba was such a boring friend. I thought the dynamic between Ayan, Brooks and Milan was good but their interactions with the rest felt forced. Plus Dubai as a city was just dull and lack personality. This same cast set somewhere else like Miami probably would have been more interesting for example. Im only sad to have lost Milan but the rest can stay gone

Colour me surprised-- I must have completely blanked that you weren't feeling Dubai S2 when it aired.

I may disagree with some of what you've expressed, but ITA that Dubai never popped for me as a 'character'. The show was filming mostly in the cast's homes, which i think is part of the culture -- parties (and scandals) tend to be behind closed doors, and the rulers protect the image of the city closely. But it meant we didn't get a feel for the place.

I also thought Dubai was boring. Brooks and her antics seemed fake to me. Sara and her friend were a dud.  The only thing I liked was Taleen - she was a great, comfortable first year housewife, and then Stanbury/Sergio are always fun to watch for me.

F*ck Brit Eady for all of eternity. And those family scenes did nothing for me except show that she is an even bigger liar. So did she sell her company or did she have to close it down b/c of the scandal? Which was it? The whole reunion is going to consist of her cleaning up lies. One and done with this bird brain. 

Angela Oakley--Muva! Thank you for packing Insurance Fraud Ho, Porkchop, and Shamwow up nicely tonight. They all earned it. 

Porkchop doubling down and saying she'd bed another married man just exemplifies why I NEVER saw it for her. She is smut. Always has been. Always will be. 

With Shamea, I don't see myself feeling pity for her when Thotlandia turns on her later this season. You'd think she'd've learned back around the r*pe rumors back in season 9, but she still doesn't get it. And Porsh*t will stand by Britch when the comment about Shamea's motherhood is made later on this season. 

And I am not ready for Phrogdra Phelony Phraudra Creonta the Cretin Phaedra to come back. She already looked like Satan in the cast photo.

100%!  Angela stays winning for me. Brit and her family scenes were a snooze, I don't know these people and don't care about them since Brit sucks and we haven't seen their backstory before.

I liked Brit's family scenes. It gave me much insight that things go much deeper than just some husband jealously, and business disagreements. It actually reminded me of Kandi and Mama Joyce cause i feel thay also have a similar unhealthy bond since losing Kandi's brother. 

I am not jumping on "I LOVE ANGELA" train. She is reminding me too much of Kenya and I find it inauthentic; things feel too staged. I see her game.

I hate that Shamea and Porsha are about to fall out. Are Gizelle and Robyn the only real friends to grace Housewives? SAD..

This season seems all over the place. A lot of the scenes feel so empty and hollow.

There is literally nothing Brit could do to make me like her at this point.

"Brit, you're a wh-re" HAHAHAHA

And that's where Angela lost me, lol. I actually was on her side cause she was being ganged up on. But her choice of words with Brit wasn't right, I mean she was more pleasant to Porsha.

[Cat]

This in a nutshell. Relieved we got a break from Brit's 'Kenya trauma,' and I'm all for family scenes, but this one came across as very scripted. Grandma delivered her lines the best, but the sister screaming at the other sister on Facetime was a lot. Also, Brit had plastic surgery to look like a video vixen from the 2000s and now barely resembles her mom + siblings.

I'm Team Angela, especially the way she dealt with Porsha, Shamea and Kelli one by one. I also think she has been asked to keep a central SL percolating for the rest of the season and she's like 'OK, I'll do my part.'

I hesitate to mention this because it sounds judgmental. But it's about Brit and Kelli's dress sense. I like some of Brit's ensembles, but the outfits of both have become revealing to the point where Bravo may soon have to pixelate. Porsha, Drew, Angela and Shamea look buttoned up in comparison. Yes, I'm getting old.

Pistol girl mentioned Kenya in the episode...lol

[Cat]

Oh, I noticed. At some point during the family scene, though, the 'family drama' took over, is all I meant.

[Gray Bunny]

I swear, sometimes I think Britt's boobs must be in pain. They look so forced in those tops. One of Porsha's tops also has her boobies practically pointing in opposite directions. I don't have boobs but some of these garbs look so uncomfortable. And yes, we must be about an eighth of an inch away from seeing areola.
