Faye and Brandi are cut from the same cloth but the one thing I will give Brandi is that she is a lot more authentic. Faye tries way too hard whereas Brandi's trouble causing seems more natural and extension of who she is. She sticks her foot in her mouth and thinks about it later. Faye thinks about it first and then sticks her foot in her mouth anyways

At least half of these ladies weren't born with a golden spoon in their mouth. The difference between Brandi and the rest of them, right now, is that Brandi didn't marry a rich enough person for a divorce to work out in her favor (Camille, Taylor) and she's not a millionaire independently or due to her husband, yet.

I'd compare Faye to Taylor more than I'd compare her to Brandi with the making money from dragging the dead "loved one" angle - except I don't dislike Taylor like I dislike Faye.

The major problem with Faye is negative association from one of the most polarizing trials in American history. I think with Taylor possibly getting the axe (--> I wouldn't mind if she didn't get the axe) and Camille possibly quitting, they have room for a Faye like person in the cast. The OJ association makes me feel queasy though and she might not be right for the brand from that angle. I think Brandi talks smack (and talks without the filter) but I don't feel Brandi is a trouble maker as much as I just feel some of the rich people are using money against her because she isn't rich. Essentially, I think Adrienne wouldn't (and hasn't) threaten(ed) to sue one of her richer friends for talking (accurate) smack. Essentially, I think Kim and Kyle act ghetto from time to time and get away it with because they consider themselves higher class but then call Brandi out on any ghetto antics because she's literally lower class.

Yolanda is going off on Kim (and Kyle) again in her blog. She's not really going off, but it's just weird to here her harping as much as she is. Something about them must have scratched her butt bad at the reunion or in the last episodes. It looks like [the sisters] are going to somehow draw up people as enemies of the Richards sisters by seasons end in relationship to Kim's issues. Yolanda also mentions she first realized she was having issues (lyme disease) when she couldn't easily smack down Taylor with her verbal skills in this past episode.

Hee. Oh, Kenya.

I liked Kenya in the Kenya versus Phaedra wars but she's becoming a little hyper-emotional ("you cut me to the white meat") and it's a little off-putting. That's making me miss the Kenya that was putting down all those wannabe models and I hated that Kenya or I thought I hated her, lol.

Yolanda blog (parts..)

Storyline. Period.

Interesting...

I think sisters Richards are/were/did come up with a story to mask/hide/explain kims drug use, and i think they knew yolanda knew the truth and may have attacked her to hide it. this will be an experience to watch.

I wish I could feel sorry for Dana/Pam/$25,000 for having to give back the Lamborghini to her nasty investment banker ex (he probably wants to palm it off to his new trick). But I don't! Twenny Five Thouzind is a skanky opportunist of the lowest order. And her jealousy of Brandi is hilarious and sad all at once. Because what Dana doesn't realize is that the audience saw through her try-hard, wannabe, siding-with-the-mean-girls, fraud self and instead took to Brandi. Brandi who (despite her faults and crude-ish sense of humor) calls it like she sees it. She is 1000 times more authentic than this fake poseur.

Honestly, TayShanna needs to stay at this point. And in a weird crazy way, so does Faye. I don't know why I "prefer" Faye to Dana/Pam, I just think she stirs the pot better. She is brazen as opposed to snide and bitter.

So much word. Something happened because they are working so hard to pretend that it didn't. Remember all those episodes where Kim breathed through her bunged-up nose "I can't even look at Ibuprofene because it would mean I have relapsed. Pills are a no-no!" And now suddenly she's on medication (even though in the same episode she chastised Lisa in a VT for thinking she was high on something) ? And she's mixing them up? OK, whatever. Maybe TV isn't the best place to detox for you, Kim. Setbacks/relapses can happen but seeing them immortalized forever in the media doesn't help.

Uh no I do not think that Brandi and Faye are cut from the same cloth. Nor do I yhink she is trailer trash, she seems to have a very well traveled and worldy past as everytime the Ladies introduce her to one of their friends, Btand already knows them and has a past with them. And yes Brandi is rude and crude, but so are the other women, they are just more on the DL with it and are more vicious imo, and oftem times Brandi is just as crude when talking bout herself LOL.

Poor bitter Dana, she didnt get a diamond pretending to be like Camille or kyle last season, so now she tries this new poor put upon dumped smoking drinking more crude version of Brandi act to try and get on and uh NO!

Another No to Kim and the bs with her micing up the pills.

I am pretty sure Faye will be at the reunion, and on WWHL with Brandi, Andy states that Brandi drops a bomb bou/ont Kyle and I am dying to know what it is LOL!

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
