Phaedra and Apollo's relationship has been really weird this season. You can tell she's over his chit. You can tell she's almost disgusted with him. She's not really feeling him as anything other than arm candy to show off for his looks. You can tell he knows where he stands with her. It'll be interesting to see what comes out. I don't think Pha was involved in Apollo's wrong-doing but I think she may have found out about it before the arrest and pre-dating the taping of the season currently airing.

It's quite interesting. I just wonder aside from his looks what exactly did she see in this guy to make him the father of her kids? He looked completely unhinged in that episode....

And the ratings have to be off the charts cuz that was seriously ridiculous. And Facebook has been absolutely bonkers since last night. Nene's behavior tho. One minute she's excited the next she's acting all languid and reminiscing bout her days as a stripper. Gurl was just out of control.

Kenya looked so hot tonight. No wonder she won Miss USA. I really hope she finds true love soon tho and gets that baby she wants.

RHoA:

I only watched Sunday's episode once so it has raised a lot of questions for me. Namely, why on earth did Apollo attack Brandon so viciously when the argument didn't even involve him?!

Firstly, Kenya was clearly not "charging" at Natalie. She wasn't even worked up that way. Christopher got up and was talking down to her, Natalie was standing up too, so Kenya got up so she could (I assume) be eye-level with them. She was walking over to Natalie but I highly doubt it was to physically assault her -- probably to shade her.

Second, Chris shouldn't have grabbed Kenya's arm -- and good for Brandon for coming to her defense -- but neither do I think that at that point he was going to get physically violent with a woman.

Thirdly, Apollo came out of nowhere and just went nuts. He literally grabbed Brandon by the throat and shoved him down on his seat. Then he started pummeling him, while it looked like Papa Smurf was holding Brandon down for Apollo's benefit. However, it could be construed that Papa Smurf had been holding onto Brandon when he and Christopher went at it and here he was trying to separate Brandon and Apollo. From the camera angle we got, though, Papa Smurf looks bad and Apollo looks even worse. That was some major cowardly behavior on Apollo's part, beating up a guy who is already being held down.

Apollo shoving Phaedra. Disgusting. Honestly, this guy is finished. Finished legally, finished on the show. I hope their marriage is finished. The way he has been treating Phaedra all season (and especially this episode) has been with contempt. She seems pretty over him, too (although you never know. Phaedra seems like she is all about saving appearances. Apollo may be her weak spot in the bedroom).

Nene on coke. I don't know. I hope not because I thought she was smarter than that (although I wish she could spell better). Thinking about it, though, could Nene's jittery attitude be because the producers have choreographed this whole event complete with pointed questions? And she has been asked to make it work? She decides to play the role of the MC of the whole thing and is acting out this big diva I'm-the-center-of-attention thing (right down to her treatment of Kenya) and it just fell completely flat? As for Nene blaming Kenya for the whole thing -- of course she is. Of course she is never going to blame the guys! And of course she is going to want to deflect any blame from herself for having fronted this party in the first place.

This is what happens when production gets too involved and wants to push the envelope with the gossip. It's one thing for these women to gossip about each other, but they are now gossiping and accusing the husbands (not that I don't doubt the truthfulness of what they are saying), and it just built to the point where the men exploded into violence. You can't bait people like that, and I lay that at Bravo's door. They've had such a great season of RHoA and I'm sure they didn't anticipate Apollo going loco, but they were pushing for a big face-off.

I mean, everybody except Nene and Gregg (that we saw) got attacked in some way. The questions went after Kordell (which Porsha side-stepped), they went after Kandi & Todd (which she handled like a pro), they went after Cynthia & Papa Smurf's sex life, they went after Christopher & Natalie which is when everything went nuts. I'm sure we would have gotten shade on Phaedra & Apollo and they would gotten into Chuck & Kandi, and Kenya & her imaginary African Prince -- if the fight hadn't broken out.

This whole episode dropped hints about Apollo's attitude, about Apollo's "money," it was almost like Bravo knew the episode would coincide with the announcement of Apollo's indictment. Since he was arrested in September 2013, I wonder why all this was kept quiet for four months. Were Bravo blindsided this week? Or did they know what was coming down the pipe and edited the season accordingly? I think it is the latter. Especially with Phaedra showing up on WWHL in two weeks.

IA and Im glad someone finally made a gif. Kenya stood up and was walking over to approach Natalie. There was no charging!

What Brandi doesn't get is that Yolanda is very much about appearances. She has to be the perfect hostess, the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect woman. In that sense, Brandi is lucky Yolanda even considers her a friend at all at this point.

I know someone mentioned it earlier, but DAMN... Mario even got another girl pregnant? With a 27 year old?? Poor Ramona. I've always thought Mario was one of the hottest househusbands though...

The Ramona/Mario news is pretty sad. I love Ramona and she was married to him for so long. He is a D-O-G for cheating on her and getting someone pregnant. Cheating is bad enough, but that just seems so brazen to be having unprotected sex and then go back to your wife's bed.

IA it is sad as I've always loved their love, but if you look back it almost seems as if she was trying to hard to show the world how stable and happy she is. I wonder if we will see signs if cracks this upcoming season. I have to say this news is awful for them but GREAT publicity for the show leading up to the premiere. I'm more pumped now than ever

LOL I bet LuAnn is fuming that she got cut bc of her post season breakup but Ramona didn't

its a damn shame bc it had potential to be the most watched. Bravo better promote the heck out if the next episode next week so people don't forget that it will be a continuation of the drama.

Btw what were the numbers?

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
