Okay, these fake-outs need to stop. They annoy the heck out of me. 

Loving Dani's reactions though. 

That fakeout just pissed me off.

The fake-outs are poorly produced, IMO. 

Meet LeslieDanielAnwarShermondLukeNicholas. This guy has a new job and disguise everytime we see him

That was a fake out?? BC was amazing!!

 

 

They took a 10/10 scene and made it a fakeout. Tomato, tomato, tomato. #BeyondTheGates

I agree, Brandon was great today. BC doesn't get enough credit for the way he has embodied Martin. His body language, his hand gestures, and even the way he speaks sometimes. I love that he isn't too flamboyant, but also doesn't come off as so masculine that you question if he is straight.

that fakeout was som Tyler Perry BS! It was giving Passions.  We dont need fake scenes over here

FAKEOUT! Tyler Perry-style SMH.

That fakeout was a bad idea.  The fight would've been great drama.  And they put it in the promo!

Dani is disgusting and continues to break the law by breaking into Haley and Bill’s house. She’s the aggressor constantly playing the victim. 

How did Nicole as a shrink raise such an emotionally volatile person? Honestly he acts more like someone that was brought up by Leslie. He be spazzing out just like her

The way I was looking forward to that Martin and Bill scene all weekend lol.

Dani Shenaangians have gotten old.

• Chelsea snapping Dani back into her snappedT personality with the news of Hayley's pregnancy.
• The child bride needs to stop trying to rebuild her friendship with Naomi and Jacob; it's clear they are not interested.
• I'm very proud of Dani for outwardly handling the news of Hayley's pregnancy better than I thought she would. But her line about Hayley developing a taste for AARP overnight was hilarious.
• Jessica went from zero to one hundred real quick and high-tailed it out of there like she just got told she was about to be jumped.
• Kenny needs to be less conspicuous in eavesdropping on Deadbeat's conversation with the big, bad Bill.
• Not the fakeout scene. Whew.... It's been a long time since we've genuinely had a good one of those.
• "Sympathy is currency in Fairmont Crest" – whew... what a line.
• Derek trying to be cool and hip with Naomi and Jacob is not hitting; sure, stick to your ugly-ass named chair.
• Ooft, Tyrell got himself a bit of a stiff, prickly attitude. Wonder which parent he gets that from....
• I appreciate the sibling relationship between Samantha and Tyrell; they've got each other's backs.
• Deadbeat totally strangled someone he shouldn't have; a hookup? Or someone who crossed him? Bradley deserves so much better.
• Dani showing up for another verbal showdown? Oh, this will be interesting, won't it?

Notes:

• Once again, Brandon Claybon (Deadbeat) is phoning it in. I do not buy his performance at all.
• You can this episode was written post-debut, with the note about Ashley and Derek being the "boring couple", which seems to be a common belief on social media, etc.
• Karla Mosley (Dani) is on point with her acting choices today; you can tell she's reveling in the material she is given.
• The continued use of actual food on the community sets is amazing; the food of Orphey Gene's looks positively delicious to me, and I'd like some immediately.
• A BET Awards commercial? Ah, it feels like the '90s again!

Why is she here? How did she even get the new code the house (I know she said Bill is terrible about changing them but its unfathomable that it wasnt when she vandalized their place months ago)

I'm Team Dani & anyone that goes against Failey 👏
