Oh no! Thats one of the worse things that SLC does. Especially the last 2 seasons where there is so much drama. I want to see the fallout and they could have easily squeezed an episode or 2 for that back in SLC

Yeah I hate ending on the cast trip. Give me a follow up to the trip and a finale party every time.

Or do like SLC does and end on the cast trip. 

Well tbf, the new HW thread is to end the season at the cast trip. Which audience online don't seem to like. Personally, I don't like...I want that finale event where all heck breaks loose.

Hahaha. Great minds!

For me, it depends on the level of drama. Many of the trips do not have enough drama to sustain a commercial.  SLC, I believe, has benefited greatly from not wasting airtime with too much filler. And their last few finales have made them stand out in a way, so I wouldn't change it. 

I do get y'all wanting to see Fallout, though, which is why I said I would change the time some of them go on trips.  Atlanta could have gone to Grenada for Porsha's birthday instead of wasting episodes until Phaedra showed up. That's my two cents.

tbf to @NothinButAttitude I think he/she was throwing out ideas. But I agree, smaller and compact seasons are the way to go.

I feel SLC has been the exception to that rule now that I'm thinking about it. But...like RHOM...they don't waste any time at all. Filler? WHERE? lol. Like RHOM is going to give us at least four (or five) trips this season and I'll bet money none of it will be filler, will appear effortless, and we will hopefully be back home for the finale. 

 

Honorable mention to last season's gondola trip...which lived up to the hype before I saw it myself. 

Not Jody going missing again!! And it looks like Larsa is suggesting what we all suspected--someone allegedly likes the "booger sugar."

Jody, chile...😂 This is about ot get scandalous and messy. 

Brittanica needs to stop embarrassing herself and just go away. What a pitiful fraudulent hoe

Every time there’s a new article or report she comes off even dumber than before. She really should just fade back into obscurity at this point.

She thought she could extort NBC/Universal with a lawsuit she had no intention of filing? LMAO. Hopefully this is the last we ever see of that pea brain. What an embarrassment for whoever casted this fraud.

LOL..she probably will file it; she likely didnt have the coins right now to do so but no that its out there, she will be presurred to save face. She doesnt know how to take an L. She cant afford o pay lawyers to battle NBCU. They will drag this out and bleed her dry in the meantime until she goes away.

 

Some think she got a layer friend working pro bono. Well working pro bono is cute until it isnt. Going up against an entity like NBCUniversal is going to require one to have all their ish together and require alot of time and resources. And thats time and resources taken away from actual cases where you are getting paid to work on. The suit already is shaky at best so doing this for free in hopes of a payout is not a wise decision.

I can almost guarantee this will be dropped. Its only a matter of when

RHOM

 

I know I wanted to talk about the premiere before I watched the new episode. Am I glad my telenovela girls are back? Oh, yes. Did I like the premiere? It was solid, but I felt like something was off the first time I watched it. I feel the same after the second time. It might just be me. 

 

And I can't figure out why I feel that way. The scenery was giving. The production value was actually on the Peacock level for me. I was living for the individual scenes as Production was digging into ALL of the things we heard during the off-season...and happy they got it on film. And Lisa's birthday event for Jody was a mess. 

 

So all I can say is *shrugs* Whatever to me, I'm happy to have them back. And I know they will give. Just off this episode, we had feuds, petty feud...though it's one that I DON'T like, and the FOH were already getting to work as much as the main cast. Yes, Marysol, Kiki, and Adriana, I'm looking at you all.  

 

So where am I standing with the ladies?

 

ALEXIA. lol. I loved that Alexia's life continues to be a telenovela. It's going to be interesting to see where this stuff with Todd goes. Moreso because she was crying a mess this episode, and I know they are still together. Meanwhile, ADRIANA WAS RIGHT!!!  And she was giving great comedy relief to the ladies due to her situation.

 

GUERDY. I love that she decided to continue on despite how she felt last season and the cancer. And mmmm at Russell. I look forward to seeing her bounce back given what she has shown so far. Meanwhile, this petty feud with Julia...Team Guerdy. Because it seem like it was just a technical accident and lord, given my own technology I can relate. She even tried to turn the other cheek with Julia and it's Julia trying to make it an issue. And of course, if there is one thing Guerdy is going to give...it's reactions. Her and Adriana during Lisa vs Larsa at the end was a hoot.

 

JULIA. *PorshaWilliams*WRONG ROAD, WRONG ROAD, WRROOONG ROOOAD*PorshaWilliams* I don't know what she was thinking. Or if she can think for herself now that she has gotten closer to Alexia and Marysol, but her starting a petty feud was not it. Even online, she is being dragged. And the fact she's running with it. Let me smh. I am happy about the boys. I am also happy that again...ADRIANA WAS RIGHT.  

 

LARSA. Ooooo so we are getting stuff with Marcus. I admit that I still stay surprised at how much mileage that Larsa is getting out of this REAL breakup. I do get where she's coming from. But Lisa cannot control who her man hangs with, only who she is. Now if Larsa and Marcus were sworn enemies, she might have more to work with. But I think that was what she was trying to say to Lisa. BUT she could have said that BEFORE. I was surprised to see her mother. I was also surprised to see a softer side of her this episode. And her vs Lisa gave their Season 5 fights. They both got great digs in.

 

LISA. Now...what was Jody doing in the bedroom?  And lord, she is soooo extra with the clothes changes for someone one's party. lol. Never change! lol. I felt she gave a lot from her trying to navigate post-Lenny life to her having the event to her story with her father. I'm probably going to get triggered with that so you all have been warned. I'm already feeling it. The Marcus stuff...she really should have given Larsa more of a heads-up. And her fight with Larsa, as I said, was great. She even got a great dig in on Marysol. lol.

 

FOH

 

ADRIANA. Dark haired Adriana is the best Adriana. lol. And she is ALWAYS right. Alexia. Julia. What will she say next? What's the tea? hehe. And that date of hers....MMMMMMMMmmm. And so willing to be on screen. And I was hollering at her reactions during Lisa vs Larsa.

 

KIKI. Now Kiki...HAHAHAHAHA!!! Not you breaking up with a guy and STILL being able to use his yacht. But that's the glamour we like in our housewives. And I loved her looking fabulous and hanging with Guerdy. And I liked her comforting poor Larsa.

 

MARYSOL. I SEE YOU, GIRL!!! We were not even five minutes in, and she was immediately getting the tea on Alexia and Lisa. And she was moving subtly, but she was definitely moving the stories along. I am not used to her being pro-active in this reboot, but I loved it. Shades of her earlier persona of businesswoman. And it was minor, but I loved that she was bringing Steven round with her.

 

And now...let me get to Episode 2 on this semi-holiday day.

RHOM

Episode 2 was fun and flashy. Count me as someone who liked Larsa and Marcus' May/December romance. I hate that we're not seeing them together anymore and already enjoying the Larsa/Lisa feud. Now Alexia is my girl, but did she not invite Guerdy and Adriana to Johnny's party, not to upstage him, only for you to do it? LOL.

Kiki is a hoot! I still wish she were a main cast member cause we never get her full POV.

ATL

I can't speak on Brit's lawsuit.

What I would like to say is that I gave Brittany a fair chance, and I personally like her. I wish her circumstances were different bc I believe with the right producers, she could be a nice addition to the cast moving forward. She didn't have the best season, but I saw some value in her.

And you will be the only fan of Brit's that I will respect.  At least you own it versus the majority online who have turned into leaves in the wind being blown away.
