BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

It would be. While the writers aren't going to have a core character turn into a murderer they certainly have borrowed from the harassing behavior Broderick engaged in and how her husband achieved his success with her help.

What I can see happening is that Bill's shady legal antics get him shot and Dani gets blamed for it but no one believes her. And of course her gun will be the weapon.

[Liberty City]

Absolutely; now that would be a (excuse the pun) killer storyline. The unhinged housewife that supported and built up the man that got ditched for the younger version of her.

Um... Who is this addressed to? 

 

[Cheap21]

Love it!

Yep, the Tomas actor is pretty damn awful. Casting made some bad decisions. That "So you're a virgin" talk was so bad.

Why have George be so dumb -- giving Dani the security code? I hate that kind of writing.

Part of the mistake here isn't even the actor. Why have him still in the hospital? And walking around an IV? For what??? He would've been released after the concussion check. Instead we get Ashley (apparently with little nursing to do) meeting with Andre and his camera by the front desk. Why would Andre hang there?

Yeah, I know, he likes Ashley. Sorry, the whole thing is awkward as hell.

Dani... yawn.  One note character played by a one note actress.

Andre/Ashley/Derek = Not working

Hayley has potential, but I would love to see her mixing it up with other characters in town.. and not just isolated to Bill and Dani.

Tamara is a great actress.. is that why she's given the most cringey words to speak because she has the ability to make them sound good?

 

[ranger1rg]

By far. I'm sad that I have to complain, but all the negatives mentioned here about today's show are true. Overall, it was bad. Carlivati's name on the script only gives those of us who dislike him a reason to nod our heads.

-- I want Dani to be crazyfun. I don't want her to be batsh_it crazy. I cannot tell what the writers are going for.

-- Why make Dani so insane...and so insanely stupid...as to go to Bill and Hayley's house with that gift? Why not have her do stealth things to get back at them?

-- I guess that honeymoon lasted less than 48 hours.

-- The Tomas actor is worse than the Derek actor. Ashley is not much better, and I still can't understand why Andre is hot for her.

-- The "weekly family dinner" where no one shows up? And Anita doesn't get pissed?

Today was a chore. When purse cat manages to give off more emotion than a majority of the humans in the scene, I should have known today was going to be an issue. 

I don't think is anything to Derek / Ashley / Andre story to invest in. I think the show might already be shifting to an Eva / Andre angle which would be in their best interest. I'd be much more intersted in trying out Andre / Shanice. I cannot really find any angle of the current configuration I enjoy. Andre / Dani doesn't feel longterm, to me, and I don't hate Andre in theory. He's just drifting, which makes sense to an extent because he is suppose to have spent so much time abroad. 

Dani getting the code from George the security guard was just dumb. I think there might have been a better angle to explore with Jan, Ashley's mother who cleans houses, if they had established she had been hired as she is already Team Dani. This is only going to get Dani deeper in trouble with her legal proceedings, but whatever. She seems very undeterred. I almost wish they would go really unhinged and have had her live streaming the whole thing to her merry cult of online worshippers. Initially, I thought leaving the bottle was actually going to lead to something cathartic, but then in just descended into another Dani moment. 

I like Kat, but the whole set up for her date was odd. At her parents house was a choice. I would rather they have just redecorated Ashley's studio for the occasion. Tomas is rough. I want to like their romance, but this first date just wasn't it for me. 

After a terrific set of episodes this week, to lose the energy on a Friday is a disappointment. Not having any follow up to Eva / Leslie today was probably the biggest disappointment. 

[Liberty City]

So, cousins? Sure.

[dc11786]

I am quite aware of the family tree. Given that Eva's paternity isn't definitive yet and Andre was acting a bit shady week 1, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them isn't a Richardson. But considering the fact that Andre was raised as a surrogate son of Nicole and Ted, and he had no problem bedding down with Auntie Dani then I don't think the cousin angle is something that would give him the ick. 

[Liberty City]

Except "auntie Dani" isn't blood related, while Eva as of right now (per Dana) is blood-related, via Ted.

[Contessa Donatella]

No one. Just like "which one of these things does not fit with the other?" To the thread. To anyone being too serious about a character that can function 100% successfully who is used to express heightened drama & camp. 2 extremes: golf club attack on property & woman weeping in an elevator. 

[Maxim]

Dani Dupree's Real Housewives tagline

"In a town full of man stealing tramps... I'm not afraid to wield a golf club."

 

 

[Contessa Donatella]

Just imagine if Bill didn't play golf & the only thing handy had been a fireplace tool!!!! Black wrought iron & a mean hook near its end???
