Anyone watching the current season of M2M? I am hooked! Usually M2M is a slow burn in the early episodes, but they hit the ground running this season by jumping straight into the engagement of throwback Dr. Greg and his new fiancée. 

Sweet Tea is not at all what I expected from a M2M cast member. Facially, she looks like she could be Toya's country cousin (Toya BTW seems like she's had a little face work done, but good work). Lateasha is proudly country and I like that. She's a little different from reality newbies on these shows -- first of all, spilling that she went after Greg in his DMs because she has an older-dude fetish. That one is going to bite her in the ass come reunion. Heavenly has already sized her up like a shark, but props to Lateasha for leaving her off the wedding guest list as payback. Heavenly has been crowing about how she got into the wedding anyway, but since she probably had to bribe an attendant to get that cameratime, I'd say its a hollow victory. While I'm not sure Sweet Tea is a GREAT cast member, I do think she adds an interesting dynamic. She's a fish out of water, she's not pretending that she's loaded, and she's just trying to fit in. She's not quite a pushover either, but there is a power imbalance between her and other cast members. 

Quad was bragging some months ago about how Bravo reached out to come back and 'save' the show, but I'm not quite sure that's true. It's fun to see her trying to rile up the group, but she very much feels on the outside. I echo Toya's distrust of her and always have.

I'm not sure slippery Porsha fits. A lot of her shtick is so staged and contrived. I hope M2M doesn't tip too far in that direction. The other women seem to be clocking that and her shady background in a good-humoured way.

Curtis only showed up for the bachelor party? Sometimes I think he and Jackie are fully living separate lives.

M2M really is one of the best shows on Bravo IMO.

I'm watching and loving it. I agree this is the best Bravo show, outshining the Housewives for sure. I like how through all the comings and goings, you still have the core cast and in their 10th season, are still fun and interesting, the friendships are real, and it doesn't come off forced. 

Yeah, Sweet Tea sure doesn't fit the mold, but she's kind of fun to watch in a trainwreck kind of way, what with her bridezilla antics, blowing up at her own sister, and just being a little clueless in general. 

Also agree about Porsha. She's like a throwback to Housewives days gone by, when we actually believed her schtick was real and her quips weren't force-fed to her by producers to look witty and clever. I hope the likes of Heavenly, Simone and Jackie continue to side-eye her and call it out. M2M comes off as less edited, aside from the usual reality TV fare like Quad's perfectly producer-timed entrance to the bachelorette party. 

Overall, I love the couple dynamics on this show, particularly Dr. Simone & Cecil, and Toya & Eugene.  And god bless Dr. Damon for being the yang to Dr. Heavenly's yin. LOL. 

Sunday nights with M2M and Potomac is currently my favorite TV night. 

Side Note:  Any tea as to why Dr. Contessa left the series? Was it her own choice? 

I’m watching and just want to say I agree with basically everything. It’s been a great season already and Sweet Tea is such an odd addition that I’m just fascinated to see how she survives the whole season.
 

I was never a Contessa fan so she’s not missed for me. And I will never like Quad. Having both her and Phaedra is a lot of dramatics.

I am SICK of seeing this damn Mugler bodysuit on every show every season. Did Bravo get an endorsement deal or something? Phaedra on here LYING as usual. Now she dating an emoji? She and Bravo need to be slapped for this

 

Dr. G looks GOOD. He seems happy too. Tea is ALOT but I think I like her country azz. Quad who? Tea looks like she could be Toya's country cousin. I like her energy and how unapolgetically honest she is. Plus she is MARRIED to medicine so she alright with me

 

I like Dr. Alicia so far but I dont get why she didnt get an introduction. They are doing her no favors with that

 

Heavenly STAY messy. She apologized for calling Quad a hoe at the reunion but the first epsiode back she is insinuating she sleeps with taken men. Huh? She was also wrong for the fight she started with Simone. She gonna get smacked one of these days by the wrong one and she will have deserved it

I just realised that you called Sweet Tea 'Toya's country cousin' way before me. I don't know whether we just came to that conclusion independent of each other, or whether I absorbed your statement without realising where it came from. Apologies if it's the latter. She really does look like Toya in certain angles.

Dr. G seems a lot happier with Sweet Tea, but he is mortally afraid that she will dump him like Quad did. Quad always let it be known that she was 'above' Dr. G and that she was entitled to better options. He was a mere stepping stone to those better options, and he knew it. Not surprisingly, it did a number on his self-esteem. He always wanted a traditional wife who would appreciate and fuss over him, and Lateasha seems to fit the bill.

Every time Dr. Alicia pops up, it's a jumpscare. I'm like, Who is this? I actually think Lateasha's bridesmaid (Jasmine) who has been giving Heavenly the side-eye, might have been a better friend-of option.

Heavenly is a turncoat who jumps from one person to another when it suits her. She turns on everybody except for Jackie, for some reason. I think the other women enjoy Heavenly, but I'm not sure they trust her. Quad needs Heavenly (and not just Special Guest Star Phaedra) to cement her position as a main cast member on the show. Sister Circle is not coming back.

First of all, apologies-- I meant Phaedra, not Porsha!

LOL aw snap, I made the same mistake! 

Quad is about to make an early exit!

 

They brought her in to react to Greg and Sweet Tea and then said

Well damn, I feel bamboozled. They put her up there like a regular castmember, then give us only snippets? I know she started filming later, but didn't think she'd cut out so early. 

Also Heavenly did one of her messy recaps with Carlos King and revealed alot of tea. One of note is that when Phaedra nad Greg initially dated, Phaedra tried to proposition him to pay her an allowance of $4K to be with her. He said no and dropped her. Sounds like she was trying to be an escor to pay for law school. I beleive Heavenly bc Greg told her and Phaedra lies.

Quad's contact negotiations didnt go the way she planned and Heavenly thinks thats why she may be mad/bitter towards the ladies. She held out on filming for 5 weeks and she managed to negotiate a deal where she got paid the same as the other women....but we now know that she will only do like 7 episodes so she will make far less money this season overall. I guess part of the deal was that she would be able to be kept on as a main cast member and not demoted to a friend as she was in Season 8

Quad doesnt talk to anyone of the women when filming is done. Thats true. All the women have a real relationship with each other but Quad only comes around when filming starts up. She tends to go to Africa with other housewives thirst trapping and looking for men down there

She's not convinced Quad ever loved Greg. She was with him more out of loyalty bc he took care of her. She was homeless at one point after being evicted and Mariah arranged for her cousin to give her a place to stay. Then Greg found her and took her in

Dr. Alicia was cast for M2M:DMV but when that didnt get picked up, she moved to ATL to join this cast. She filmed the entire season and may have some stuff coming up but they cut all of her good material so far. Heavenly thinks its bc there are too many women on the show

Phaedra tried to give Quad a lifeline with that funeral stunt but was mad that she took no accountability and failed to apologize to the women. That may have sealed her fate bc they are over her. Quad felt she was indispensible and she is not a team player

Speaking of final exits and given @Cat mentioned Sister Circles...given the years we all have talked about Quad, her place, and that season...this sneak peek might be some confirmation that karma is coming for Quad.

 

 

 

Hold up @Cheap21 so M2M: DMV is not coming after all?

 

Ugh! I swear they never give M2M spinoffs a chance.

Quad is going out in an embarrassing blaze of fury. Sh is on SM claiming they forced her out and she is clearly in her feelings. she is getting the karma for what she did to Mariah. Apparently the core 4 have a meeting and kick her out the group nad production back them up on that. LMAO!

 

 

 

Sundays episode was delightful. Karma coming back to slap Quad in the face is delightful.

It was! I almost felt bad for her until she said she had no emotional attachment to the women. Okay, then girl, bye! She makes it so hard to like her. I also laughed at her bestie Phakedra throwing her to the side with her "I dont know her" attitude. Heavenly was a delight exposing her for the liar we all know she is.

Well...

 

I kinda hope Phaedra is a one and done. Her whole schtick just seems like a rehash.  M2M deserves better. 

This past Sunday was even more delightful for me than last week’s. They really invited Quad on the trip to tell her to go home 😂😂😂

And the backlash has been quick and crazy. Carlos King and his interview with her. Carlos King vs Dr. Heavenly. That leaked video of Dr. Jackie and everyone online coming for her and Dr. Simone (with Buffie leading the charge).

 

A mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
