What an episode.

This show deserves an Emmy. And I'm being serious. This show has documented the implosion of a relationship, on some of the most scandalous terms, in a really gripping way. 

Sandoval's reaction was morally bankrupt. He is truly malevolent.

Raquel is a psychopath with no empathy. 

Schwartz was doing major damage control and failing at it.

Meanwhile, you had Lala and James luxuriating in having called the duplicity correctly from the start. James' telephone call to Raquel was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Yeah, there was so much going on online (and yes @Cheap21 I agree with Candiace and loved that Andy read her tweets directly to Ariana last night on WWHL) that I stopped my Season 9 binging and went right to last night.

 

Perhaps it's personal (and too recent) experience for me, but that episode was really well done and triggering all at the same time. For all our talk about how manufactured a lot of reality shows have become...once in a while, the shows still hit on something real...and THIS was one of those times. 

 

We either have been cheated on or in some cases cheated (or someone who did) so it was such a universal theme (and why those ratings almost hit 2 million) that it just felt raw, real, and not fake...outside of Sandoval's fake crying. God, I felt all of Ariana's pain. And she dragged the heck out of him, too. I had no idea that she did get around to freezing some eggs. Given I knew her stance on kids, THAT right there let me know she was willing to and that hurt even more. Because her stance was a HARD one. It reminded me of how I loathed kids in my 20s a la Samantha Jones and now I feel so different about them.

 

Seeing Kristen...hehe Beyonce. That said...WOW. That flashback took me back because SHE DID SAY ALL THAT THEN. And I saw that LIVE. Just chills.

 

And Schana. Wow. Nothing but truth from her. And while Scheana can be self absorbed to make it about her and always has been like that...she is STILL a better friend than most. 

 

Even Katie got some good words in. 

 

So Sandoval can aplogize and fake cry to EVERYONE, but the person he should? TRASH. And I wonder now if that familiar person he cheated with WAS Billie Lee. 

 

Looking forward to the reunion and Ariana dragged the whole lot.

In the 18-49 demo, VPR beat everything on broadcast, including Survivor and the season finale of The Masked Singer. Really big stuff, even if broadcast ratings aren’t what they used to be. The only thing on TV that outrated it that day was the Heat-Celtics game.

I believe it. Though I was STILL shocked. I know a LOT of people said they wanted to watch the episode that either don't watch the show at all or people that fell off ages ago. But I didn't realize that many would. And there are some people that thought it would be HIGHER. 

 

But again...cheating is a universal theme so I can see why everyone tuned in. I even jumped seasons. lol.

She better get over it. While its true to real life that she and her friends would never have anything to do with Tom or Raquel again, this is a tv show and they will ruin it by icing them out. She will need to have at least one confrontation with both of them onscreen next season. As for Lala, Scheanna and Katie? They dont get the same grace to not film with the Toms and Raquel

I only watched the Uncensored version on Peacock. So refreshing to not hear 20,000 bleeps. I can’t imagine watching it on Bravo with all the cursing.

Sandoval is a mess. He does look like sh!t, as Ariana and Lala so aptly pointed out.

I mean, they’re all horrible people…

      Paula and Jeanne’s first time writing Alex and Stephanie. It didn’t seem like there were any changes in Alex at all lol but I can’t help  but think that that’s more on RSW than the writing. I didn’t see a big change with Stephanie either, but I did enjoy her scenes with Kayla, whose character has gotten so much stronger since last week. I hope we get to see a lot more of their relationship, and their relationship with Steve as well. As for Steve and Shawn stealing the drug to try to save Bo, idk. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t know lol but I also think that it is time for Steve to pass the torch on to the next hero.  And finally, Javi showed some kind of spark! I was a little worried in his first scene today that he was going to continue to be so obsessed with Leo, but him demanding that Leo drop the investigation into Rafe and Gabi could actually be pretty interesting. I don’t think that would’ve happened under Ron. And if we’re forced to endure Javi/Leo, let them at least have some kind of actual conflict, instead of the forced, biased crap that we were subjected to. And speaking of Leo, one year ago today, he got Dimitri’s letter

      Btw, why is Gabi so beholden to Javi? Cousin or not, if I was her, the minute he said to her, “If he goes, I go”, I would’ve been like  Also, are they going to go there with Philip and Gabi? I’d prefer that than Gabi getting involved with Alex.

      Yes. I don't know if Lenore was ever asked. Then it became a nun. Thanks. I didn't realize it was in 1987. That timeline doesn't make a lot of sense even if she would have had Ed to interact with. If they didn't ask her back in 1989 and she was willing, what a stupid error. The attempts at these feuds, or even the whole families tied together stuff like Maryanne Carruthers, never had any real impact because of how depleted the Bauers felt even by the mid '80s. And instead of expanding them, which would have been common sense, various producers were just too lazy, or too ashamed, and kept bringing on other families, or bringing in too many people at one time and not knowing how to write for them (the Spauldings in the McTavish era - as SOD said at the time, everyone in the family had the same personality).

      Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?

      I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped.
