Scratch what I said about Nia. Started watching episode 7 and she went TOO far in the previous episode. Im on Team Jordan here. He was wasted and he went to bed to go to sleep and she went to him to provoke him. Not jus that but she kept picking at him and kept going in on him. She poured vodka down his throat and dumped cereal and Cheetos on him. Then she put her hands around her throat and threateaned to murder him repeatedly. WTF? Why didn't someone from production step in to at least scold her. He did not bite her like some dog on the attack. It was light and playful and this was before the situation took a bad turn. He spit the cereal in her face but that was only after she kept dropping it on her. It wasn't even wet spit. And when she started freaking out bc he followed her to her room and wouldn't leave....bitch you JUST did the same when you went to his room and wouldn't leave.

Him doing the monkey noises wasn't right but to me he was drunk and he wouldn't have done that had she not provoked. She completely set him up and she did it on purpose. I didn't like how the next day when he was sober and he brought up the fact that she poured vodka down his throat, her response was if you didn't want it then you should have said something. WHAT? He was DRUNK! This is the same chick that was raped after being drugged. Maybe if you didn't want the sex you should have said something. I really cant believe that came out of her mouth knowing what happened to her. She is messed up and I think the way she is is an act to cover it all up. I think Jordan may remind her of her rapist and the reason she has targeted him is a way to direct that anger and get some type of vindication via him since the actual guy got off free. I feel bad for Jordan bc she is calculated and she is 100% wrong in here.

Starting to come around on Anastasia. I liked how she yelled at Jessica for trying to act traumatized and turn what happened about her. I like how she defended Jordan on the race issue and explained what happened bc she saw it and Nia was exaggerating and playing up the victim role.

Episode 8 and Im officially over Johnny. Don't like Jessica, but him going after her and calling her fat and ugly was just wrong. He being a man jumping into a females fight is such a weak ass move. Averey can handle herself and didn't need him getting involved.

Jessica reminds me of Rachel Berry and I cant stand Rachel

Just wait until you get to this week's episode... girl has some serious anger/violence issues, but she still brought the drama this season. If it hadn't been for Nia, this season would have been BORING as hell.

And that's why I'm so confused as to why they chose to bring Anatasia and Jessica to the Rivals Challenge this season... why not Nia/Avery, or at least make up some rival excuse to bring in Johnny, Jordan, Nia, Avery. Jessica and Anastasia will be squashed like little bugs in that Challenge and will be gone in the beginning (prediction - I haven't seen spoilers). Nia/Avery could give at least some competition.

All caught up! LOTS to say

Beginning of the episode....Team Nia. Im with her in terms of the dog fight. It is Avery's dog. If she and Johnny are too irresponsible to take Daisy out on frequent walks, then they should be handling any poop she does in the house. Avery is standing there laughing as Nia recounts how she stepped into it bare foot. Johnny was out of line to tell Nia to pick it up. Da f--k? Really? He was out of line for that. Id be damned if someone told me to pick up dog sh-t for a dog that isnt mine. Averey and Johnny looked ridiculous saying Nia was forbidden from touching or talking to the dog.

End of the episode...Team Johnny/Avery. Nia is crazy and has too many issues with anger and violence. I cant beleive she came after Johnny with a blow dryer and I dont blame Avery for jumping in to defend him. Why wasnt she kicked ou of hte house after that? Isnt there a no violecne policy? Its worse bc she threatens to continue the violence beyond the initial fight, saying she is going to f--k them up every day (not to mention the threats of murder against Jordan)

My question is WTF was production? Even on the Bad Girls Club, they jump in to stop this stuff. I cant beleive they just let the cameras running instead of intervening. MTV did play a message against violence in between the commercial break but they should have done something.

I see this week there is a house vote on if she leaves or not but there shouldnt be a vote. Honestly the bitch should be in jail. It would have served her right if Avery had pressed charges on her. NOT cool

Anastasia. I was like why is she about to leave after Ive warmed up to her? Why couldnt this happen like 7 episodes when I hated her? Thank god she still stayed. I really like how she tries to be the peace maker.

Jordan like up and disappeared from the series. After the drunk episode, he barely appeared.

Jessica is a drama queen and seeks attention. I like how Ana called her out on it.

Totally agree - I was Team Nia, but then she totally went off the deep end. If I were Avery, I would have beat the hell out of her too once she brought the blow dryer out!

Production usually always stops fights and steps in, especially when there is that much of a lag time. I couldn't believe they allowed Nia to keep going. Either they have changed and the cast agreed to allow fighting... or they knew that Nia was the only one giving drama this year. The ratings were TERRIBLE for St. Thomas last year bc it was so boring (not the cast's fault - they just couldn't go anywhere). I think production must have known this season would be equally boring thanks to the cast... so they brought in actress Nia to make some trouble. There's no other explanation! haha, reminds me of Kenya from RHOA.

Nia belongs on the Bad Girls Club, not Real World. That violence was uncalled for and she is the definition of the angry black woman stereotype, which she made reference to earlier in the season, yet continued to play it up, without realizing it later on. She punched Johnny 14 times! She maybe could have gotten a pass for one, but 14? She was out of control. Not feeling Johnny but I don't mind Averey. She didn't deserve to get smacked on the back of her head. She needs therapy

Its possible that they did ask them but that one or both declined. Edited by Cheap21

But I can't feel sorry for Avery b/c she took the first shot against Nia. And Johnny got a justified ass whoopin'. Anybody that would put a snot rag on me would just DIE. I mean DIE. I'm sorry but I sympathized with Nia whooping his ass.

Crazy enough though, Nia got majority of the online fans behind her. Though the scold her for her starting sh*t, which is Murray/Bunim Productions doing, people feel that she was justified in knocking fire out of Johnny.

Do I think she went overboard? Yes. However, I'd probably go batsh*t too seeing as that's one of the grossest things another person can do to you besides spitting or throwing human excrement at you.

Do I think she depicted an angry black woman? Yes, but she had reason IMO.

to me Averrey was justified in grabbing and hitting Nia in that moment. If you see someone you care for about to get beat with a weapon, (and someone that can not defend themselves), you are supposed to just stand there and do nothing? Nia got her 14 hits in the bathroom. That should have been the end of it. To take a blow dryer and proceed to try and beat on Johnny was just ugly and she was dead wrong for that. I think Averey did what she felt she had to do to protect him bc Nia could have done some serious damage had she went for Johnny's head again like she did in a bathroom but this time with a hard object.

But see that's where I feel that production should've stepped in. Not Avery. And Nia said on a live video chat that the argument actually started with her and Avery and she challenged Avery to fight (that morning) but Avery nixed it. Johnny, however, took the challenge on behalf of his woman and took the beating then Avery wanted to jump in. Again, I do think that Nia went overboard, but I can't imagine how I'd react if someone did that to me.

Jordan is mediocre at best. When he opens his mouth, all that cuteness fades away.

As much as this cast has been through, I think there is hope. Jordan & Nia are in a good spot. So is Ana & Jess. There is hope that all eight of these people will be able to sit together and laugh at all this mess that went down.

Overall, I think this was a good season; however, I am going to need Bunim & Murray to cast a spitfire cast across the board for next season, the 29th season.

I still hate Nia. I'm just disgusted by what I saw in the last two episodes. If I were Jordan I wouldn't hug someone who basically threatened to have me beat up to within an inch of life of not killed. Then of course she plays the "victim" card and starts the waterworks about how horrible her life has been and how she was a used by this and that man.

None of that gives you the right to act the way you did. And if she laid even one finger on me I'd dedicate my entire life to destroying her. Ughhh I hadn't even seen that last night. Even if Jordan is ridiculously hot.

But you have to remember that Nia was somewhat manipulated by her fellow female cast members (including Averey, who swore on the reunion that she loved Jordan from day one *side eye*) that Jordan was mistreating them, hence why she jumped to their defense and took on the battle to demolish him. Jordan realized that and acknowledged it at the reunion, which is why him and Ana got into it b/c she was the main one pumping Nia up.

I'm in the minority (and fine with it) but I see good in Nia. She was clearly a plant in the house to stir the pot, MTV probably paid a her a hefty fee to do so, and she did her job. I'm not going to knock her. Furthermore, Nia is that type that you have to stay on and talk down then reason will come into play. Once people took time to talk Nia down, she did back down. Had Jordan had a heart to heart with Nia, the two of them would've patched things up a LONG time ago. Had Johnny/Averey/Nia hashed out their issues that day they "apologized," things would've been better.

Overall, Nia saved the season for me. Without her, as Joi said on the reunion last night, it would've been The Brady Bunch all over again, and I am watching seasons that are dull.

Glad Coral, who is my ALL time fave roommate, hosted the reunion but she could've been more equal. She kept the heat on Nia but never put the heat on the others, who are equally as deserving. Coral also needs to go look up assault (along with Johnny & Jordan) because putting a snot rag on someone or tossing a drink in their face IS a form of assault.

    • LLC can be a lot (lady definitely doesn’t phone it in), but her scenes with Rena made me wish they played actual sisters on a better platform.  Aside from JE, who is a legend so it’s no surprise when she’s excellent, Amanda Setton is my MVP of this story and she hasn’t always been great in this role. You see so much happening in her face as she’s navigating the shifts and layers of this story. She’s fully locked in. Glad Rory Gibson is getting his due on GH. I knew he had more to give than what Y&R was giving him. The writing will be a factor here as well because the character of Michael hasn’t been written well in ages (if ever, arguably). GH just can’t sustain the good stuff for more than a few weeks. Alexa Havins is a very good actress and was widely embraced as Lulu initially, but the character’s one-note abrasiveness has a lot of folks wishing she was gone at this point. 
    • It's pilots like "Hurricane Sam" and "Anything for Love" that makes me so afraid to write professionally, because, my God, what if I actually tried and came up with something just as awful, if not worse (if that's even possible)?
    • JANUARY 1974 SPECIALS ADDED... Here are the January 1974 specials which have been added to the yearly list on page 76:

    • Wow, you have the patience of a saint watching through this period. I think the show does get better but it takes a while.  I won't give any spoilers about Zachary, but I will drop a slight hint: GL was probably trying to get a ratings boost by doing a story inspired by one of CBS's few primetime hits in the mid-1990s. And no, Zachary does not turn out to be a Texas ranger.

    • I like Pamela too. At risk of sounding like a "Pollyanna", story and actor wise, I love the show. The hour flies by.  My only true dislike is the way it's edited. The sudden drop offs to commercial needs to be worked on. 
    • I’m up to July 8, 1996. Aww, we just lost Ed Bauer in late June. He left to go on assignment in Africa. I don’t know if this was the actor’s decision or the show’s, but it’s sad to see a long-time vet go like this. Granted, he hasn’t really had a storyline in a year, since Eve died, but sad nonetheless that he won’t be floating around the hospital or reprimanding Michelle for dressing too provocatively. At least they held a nice going away party for him, with most of the cast there in attendance. It was a nice sendoff. Oh they also had the HIV/AIDS program coordinator from the hospital, who got to dance with Lucy. That was a nice homage and followup to the story from last year. There were some strong scenes between Rick and Michelle during the 4th of July, reminiscing about their past Bauer BBQs they had and how sad it is without Ed this year. Also with Michelle and Abby, where she told her about her grandma and their wonderful traditions. I do love Abby, she’s very sweet and way easier to watch outside of her Amish storyline. Rick is very kind to her and it really makes me like him. Ugh, what a sad day. Rick Hearst has left, unceremoniously. His last scene was at Ed’s going away party, and had nothing to do with him, sadly. Also, a new J just showed up. A much more handsome guy and a little more grown up, it feels. We’ll see how I like him. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a double voice-over in a row like this, where one scene ends with nuA-M showing up and making a statement, then voice over man says the “The role of A-M…” and then immediately a new scene with J starts and he back to back says “And the role of J…”. Wild! We’re losing so many actors and characters this year, again. Vivian has got to be the worst character right now for me. She is so weak. We’ve had so many repetitive scenes with Vivian and Holly, where Holly tells her to just tell the damn truth so everything can end, and she just whines about how she can’t do it. Meanwhile, she’s cheating on her husband, pissing off her daughter, and now she just told Charles that Griffin is hitting on her. Also, they just brought her into the Alan Spaulding and his Advantage Systems storyline, to bring down the 5th Street restoration, and it’s because the Grants made some bad investments so they wanted to make money. The writers are really driving this family into the ground, but especially Vivian. Prior to this, I rarely saw her, but when she popped in a few times, she always seemed like a fun, stylish yet snooty character who struggled over supporting David and his life decisions, but wow has she really been turned into a horribly weak person. Dahlia is now dressing up like a prostitute, while a high schooler (what??), and almost got raped (blah). Marcus saved her, but yeah, I’m not feeling this story anymore. And now they’re testing J with Dahlia and having them flirt a lot on the beach, which isn’t making Marcus happy. I can’t believe A-M announced on TV to all of Springfield the news about Amanda being the Malibu Madame. I know this was probably more of a scandal in the 90s, but today it seems sort of minor in the grand scheme of things haha. I was way more invested in this story in the beginning, when Matt was involved, but it finalized as a big dud. The “Save our Streets” 5th Street storyline is really, really boring after all these months. At this point, I don’t care who wins - Alan/Amanda or the town of Springfield. All the chanting is laughable and Alan screaming at Buzz/Reva every episode is tiring.  5th Street has been under construction and trying to be ‘saved’ for 18 months now, let’s move on. Vanessa has now passed out twice, curious to see what’s wrong with her and where this goes (finally something to showcase her!).  Also, this is where Zachary finally makes an appearance, to help an alone Vanessa come to. She doesn’t know him, but he knows her name and knows to call Matt. Someone else mentioned this, but I too feel like this was meant to be someone else at first - perhaps Marian (or my wishful thinking haha)? For a month or so, they never show his face, just a hand with a gold (very unisex, at least) bracelet. But then, not showing his face again, has an encounter with Phillip where his voice is very deep, and then again with Ed at Ed’s going away party. Based on their very short conversation, it almost seems like Ed sold him the lighthouse (we’ll see). But now he’s made an appearance in Lucy’s dream where we finally see his face, and then again now with Vanessa. He also showed face to Marah/Shayne and they recognized him, so curious to see who this person finally is and how people know of him or how he seems to know everyone. But, it was odd in the beginning - either he was supposed to be Marian, or they just didn’t have an actor cast yet. Oh and now the recent cliffhanger, Lucy is walking the beach alone, post-fight with A-M, and he’s there to say hello to her. He feels like a God-like being haha. He’s a very pretty, young man, maybe a little too young looking. I haven’t been spoiled at all on who this is and where his story goes, so it’s interesting and one of the few things keeping me going right now. Finally, the Hart/Dinah/Roger story is so draining and ridiculous. They think we’re going to root for Dinah and Hart, as they carry out this plan to make Roger go insane and become a couple in the process, but they’re really an unlikeable duo now. I used to really ‘love to hate’ Dinah, but now she’s just malicious and unlikeable. There was a really weird campy scene where Roger sees a shirtless man wearing this weird mask after he chugged the vial of Lanatrat. Now Roger is in the hospital and they keep allowing Hart to evade all cops and hospital staff, showing up to haunt Roger at every corner. Now they got Blake, Matt and Vanessa to go along with their plan in making him think he’s crazy. It’s just too much, but I will say Zaslow is giving a great performance with this ridiculous story. Oh, Quint did return home on an excavating assignment, post-breakup with his 20-something girlfriend. But they stuck him in this stupid story with Roger/Hart/Dinah, and the Native American grounds that he plans to dig up just happened to be exactly where Hart was “buried” LOL - so dumb. Annie is finally starting to take more pills and make things more interesting, which Phillip is catching onto. They keep having these two run into each other and are building a nice rapport. The only things keeping me going are the promise of Annie’s pill popping/downward spiral (since I know she’s not Josh’s endgame), Ross/Blake/Rick and the babies, Rick/Abby’s budding relationship, mystery Zachary, and maybe Michelle/J. Everything else is pretty bad and I’m looking forward to getting to the ends of their storylines.
    • Thanks for the tag @DRW50 as always!! This is an era of AMC I’ve read much about yet seen so little of. 
    • https://x.com/alanalda/status/1928568971219095943 May 30, 2025 Alan Alda @alanalda Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it. She worked hard In showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person -- with real feelings and ambitions. We celebrated the day the script came out listing her character not as Hot Lips, but as Margaret. Loretta made the most of her time here.
