I can’t stand Contessa and that was dirty of her to imply Toya did it on purpose.

 

I really wish someone would punch Heavenly in the face.

 

And why the hell is the show moving to Saturday’s. Bravo seems to refuse to let them stay on Sunday’s for some reason.

Ant, I'm convinced Bravo wants this show to end because they tried killing it with a Friday move.  That didn't work so now a Saturday?  Even in the winter, who's going to watch M2M?  The only thing keeping it on the air must be contractual obligations so they move it to Death Night!

My thought exactly - why in the world are they doing this?!?  Their numbers aren't terrible on Sunday and are likely to increase with RHOA's lead-in.  I can't imagine Andy is driving this because he was last season's biggest supporter saying it's one of the two most entertaining shows on Bravo that year.  I just don't get it...

I don't think Andy is driving this either. He is a big fan and for once I agree with him! M2M has authentic couples living real drama, and most of these people have important and worthwhile jobs that go along with that. I can't tell you how much I love some of the women, Jackie especially who has a shining spirit that emanates from her core. I feel like a show like RHOA pales in comparison next to some of the insight we get here. I would have thought M2M would have helped RHOA maintain ITS numbers at a time when RHOA is in dicey transition! Saturday is almost worse than Friday as a timeslot. I don't understand this move at all. Not when a bunch of Bravo's other shows are on shaky ground. M2M is still viable and has a couple good years left in it.

A crazy thought crossed my braincell last night...

 

You don't think Bravo is trying to get low ratings for M2M so it can move some of its more popular cast members over to RHOA if the current ATL cast doesn't gel?

 

Damn that idea sounds especially silly all typed out like that.

So I’m currently watching the second season of the show since I’ve never seen it and wow, the takedown of Mariah is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. 

 

Quad reeeally got her ducks in a row to take over the show. She’s not even subtle with it. The amount of bad acting I’ve had to watch her do is insane and apparently only Mariah sees it. Mariah really pissed them off with the Queen Bee stuff the first season and she’s paying for it now. You even have newbies Lisa Nicole and Heavenly going against her when she’s literally done nothing or said anything about them.

 

It really is fascinating to watch. They even used Mariah’s damn cousin for the take down.

Lol it would be interesting to say the least snd I do believe a lot of the casts are friends, but I still prefer the shows separately. M2M is far superior to Atlanta.

I don't want it to happen because I too love M2M and the chemistry of the cast as it is. Also I like the medicine aspect of it, and people like Simone and Jackie would have their life's vocation watered down and disregarded on a show like RHOA.

 

I also like M2M's focus on marriages and the couples' retreats to the Caribbean, etc. I like that they have therapy sessions and discuss problems openly. It creates empathy and understanding between the cast. Even if not all the marriages have worked out, some relationships I think have strengthened as a result.

I wish Mariah hadn't broken that glass.  She's asking for Simone to vote her off the island AGAIN.  All it would need is Jackie's approval.  Fighting to kill or maim is not entertainment to me.  

 

Toya's tears.  Who cares?  I don't believe she hit Contessa intentionally, but when you are a colossal bitch, it's easy for someone to want to make that leap.  

 

Heavenly's counseling and spiritual journey is for the dogs.  I'm tired of seeing her talking to a counselor.  She's not a good person and just needs to take her check from the show and stop!  

 

Quad and her "don't fight over me" was equivalent to...

    • I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over
    • If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.
    • Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.  
    • I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head. 
    • Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.
    • Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.
