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…

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • My bad….ill fix that  Fixed 
    • Where do you discover this crazy rumor??
    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.
