Dream Boy

If this were an actually good soap again, Hope would be suing Forrester. This is a clear-cut case of retaliation and workplace bullying. And do Steffy and Taylor ever not get tired of being loud and wrong? I hate that this show makes these two actual hoes the voice of morality. Neither of them is frigid asexual Stephanie. They've got too many bodies each for that, so the slut shaming and pearl clutching is so far-fetched.

God, this show is such trash. I don't want Hope with either Liam or Thomas. Both are terrible options. God Forbid a woman actually be single and career focused.

The biggest takeaway is that Leia was the smartest out of everyone by deciding to just get the Hell out of this mess. What even was the point of Dyanne? And hot on the heels of an expose about how terrible Tedros is, he is suddenly trotted out as Jocelyn's love interest and the crowd eats it up as #goals? Blah

At this point, both Rowan and Sip are too stupid to live.

Lord, I thought this would be a fun guilty pleasure. But instead it's just bad and not even in a fun "so bad it's good" way. Y'all have touched on most of my issues but Rowan is definitely being written as an idiot. At this point, she's almost too stupid to live.

It feels a little rushed. And I'm still not sure on the need to merge Michael and Aaron.

I've only read the Mayfair Witch trilogy (didn't follow the witches into the Vampire series) and I was a kid at the time (high school). I just remember being so interested and enthralled by it all. I came into this cautiously optimistic and it was just...okay. Alexandra Daddario is a fine actress but I still don't see Rowan in her. And I kept thinking, if you know/suspect that you have this power, why not try to save your foster mother? Still not sure about the unnecessary Ciprien hybrid and am waiting for Lasher to get really creepy but I liked the atmosphere and Harry Hamlin seemed to be having the time of his life. I feel like this will lean into guilty pleasure territory and I'm fine with that.

I'm excited to hear about this. As a fan of all things witches, I devoured these books in my teens. It has been a while but I remember most of the details. I was shocked that there is no Michael (I assumed the guy in gloves was him) or Mona (although I think her introduction would need to be changed for a number of reasons lol). I wasn't particularly pro or anti Mona but she definitely came off as one of Anne's favorite characters based on her trajectory. I'll definitely be tuning in. Lasher was such a creeper. Will be interesting to see him "live".

Whew, chile! This was quite an episode. I can only imagine what we're getting in the finale! Pastor Woodbine is a hot ass mess with that tired twerk. lol And this has to be the wildest election ever. I didn't expect Autumn being pregnant. And here comes wifey to complicate matters even more. Many aren't into Autumn but I find her interesting because I'm never quite sure where she's coming from. I like a good wildcard. I can take or leave Andre. I also was surprised at the Uncle Clifford/Corbin interaction. I always thought that they were raised liked brothers, not "brothers". If we get a next season (fingers crossed), it's looking like Roulette will be becoming a madame, which should pose some interesting conflicts with Clifford. Speaking of which, I hated to see that fight between Clifford and Big L. They are my underrated dynamic duo and both had some points. I'm on pins and needles with this Keyshawn plot. I'm so nervous for the girl lol And I knew Big Bone would be nothing but trouble.

First episode was giving me slight spoof. We'll see how the rest goes. I watched OG PLL from beginning to bitter end. So I can't help myself with this thing.

Dug the first two episodes. Mia is my MVP out of an appealing and interesting group of characters. As a fan of bad bitch rap, I'm in.

Yeah, I'll have to check out Dancing at the Blue Iguana too. I've seen the others but am also a sucker for stories about strippers/sex workers.

Man, what an intense episode that left me emotionally drained. Throughout, I kept thinking to myself "Teak needs help and should be on somebody's couch". Lo and behold, sigh. RIP Teak. Poor Lil Murder. Both actors killed the entire show and that scene in particular. Kudos. I have a feeling Big Bone is tied to Montavious. She looked awfully interested in his ring. Autumn is a crafty one. Curious how next episode goes and if she really continues with this plan to sell the Pynk. Andre is just...ugh Andre. I'm also surprised that Coach caught onto Farrah and Mercedes so quickly but, as he mentioned, he was well aware of love between women lol I'm mad Mercedes didn't grab her stack though. She has more than earned it. Shoot, Keyshawn. Just close your eyes and shoot. lol Roulette gonna bring nothing but trouble. They better not kill Earnestine.

Knowing that this was a Keyshawn episode, I did something that I never do. I actually checked spoilers before watching. There's so much fear and anxiety with her situation that I wanted to know what I was walking into. I must say that this ended up as one of my favorite episodes so far. It was great getting her back story. Her dad was trash and her step-mother just as bad. I'm curious to learn more about her biological mom now. We now know that Key and Gidget were high school friends. Looks like we were robbed of a scene of the two of them visiting Gidget's mom, dancing at the Pynk. Ugh Speaking of moms, great cameo from Pastor Woodbine and her wig. I can't wait til we get her and Mercedes' back story. As expected, Derrick is an abuser who was abused. Tragic. That last attack was so hard to watch. Although I'm surprised the doctor and nurse, who would be mandated reporters, wouldn't immediately call CPS with a child coming in like that. I always knew Rome was no good. He was just too slick. Woddy taking him out was awesome. I suspect we haven't seen or heard the last of that video footage though. And underrated scene of the night had to be the silent "they fucking?" exchange between Woddy and Keyshawn.

So now we know what Autumn Night is giving. Traitor. lol I was never sure whether to trust her or not but it all came out this episode. I’m not sure what the crew are going to do. The show did it again. I thought Andre's wife was going to be upstairs choking from COVID like symptoms lol I was as surprised as he was to catch her in the act but he could have kept the outrage given what he's been up to. Oh, Lil Murder, you are in it now. I had a feeling we were heading in this direction. Now, I’m ready for the inevitable Teak/Clifford meeting. Baby, Farrah is sprung lol That scene with her and Mercedes was hot as Hell. Coach who? I don’t remember Gidget being this annoying before. Keyshawn is so heading for danger and I’m not sure I’m ready for it. After her antics, Pastor Woodbine just might be a contender. Heaven help us all lol Love how the show is showing the after-effects of trauma from the recently released Teak and Roulette to even Autumn, Mercedes, and Diamond with Murder Night. Makes you root for them to win even more. Also love seeing the characters come together to support Uncle Clifford and the Pynk.
