RalyWilmy

This made me laugh. Thank you! 🤣

"Stupid" - Mr. RalyWilmy when the show ended last night. I did not disagree. I've been watching SC since the first season. Even though I think the earliest seasons were the best, I hung in there through the Ashley years, the ex-girlfriends club, "Pringle! Pringle! Pringle!", Thomas the creep, JD the creep, blonde Kathryn, Taylor vs. Olivia, etc. and could usually find something redeeming. I don't know if it's the cast or the powers that be no longer giving a crap, but this season is just so insipid and boring. I really want to keep watching. It used to be my favorite show in the Bravo universe. If it's going to be nothing but a manufactured soap opera, at least bring back the Charleston porn and at least one or two cast members who have actual roots in the city. The only thing I found slightly interesting last night was Shep getting a taste of his own medicine when his girlfriend ghosted him and Austen's middle school advice to ignore her. Of course, that's probably all made up, lol.

It's interesting that you bring this up. I binged Season 17 at the same time as watching Season 18 and I am amazed at how often some of these gals break the 4th wall in both seasons. "You're on a reality show!" "You're a friend!" "Don't admonish me." It's been a hot minute since I followed anything the RH franchise. Do they all do this? Also, PSA, I do not recommend binging RHOC. The screaming and screeching while watching episodes back-to-back wreaked havoc on my eardrums. And almost my marriage. Mr. RalyWilmy threatened to leave if I didn't turn it down, lol.

Not much to add, other than I have never identified with someone on a reality show as much as I did the guest who over served herself at the wine tasting. I may have done that a time or three, lol. That whole scenario had me cackling. When she said "don't judge me", I fell out 🤣

This made me laugh out loud. I haven't thought about Fashion Bug in 30 years! 🤣 I'm almost positive that I rocked some Fashion Bug in my day, lol.

Tony is becoming the Greek Chorus of this season and I'm totally here for it. His commentary is hilarious to me. I loved when he referred to the Ross/Katie situation as telenovela (and I don't like telenovela, lol).

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this, lol. Although, I feel like her true colors have been on full display since the first episode. Camille sucked, but Alyssa is just being a nasty piece of work. She totally egged it on.

In my opinion, this is truly the most "horrifying" season of the show. These men (and women) had no idea what was coming. Watching it in 2022 and knowing what was to come gives me a total sense of dread. I'm not sure if that's what RM had in mind, but if he did, it's working. Some of the tightest story lines in many, many seasons, I'm pleasantly surprised that it hasn't gone completely off the rails. The ghost deer men at the end of this episode were a little hokey, but not to any real detriment. Like, I don't think the ghost deer men will invade Fire Island and become the focus of the last two episodes, which was very likely to happen in past seasons. All in all, one of my favorite seasons so far. I hope the final episodes can live up to it!

I agree with this. Rachel was so cringey last season that I found her unwatchable. She has really pulled it together this season without losing her sense of humor. Plus, she is so talented. Give Rachel her own show, Bravo!

I know Pringle is not a popular fella on these boards, but he won me over a bit with the "What have I gotten myself into? I'm so over this" faces and attitude. His attempt to get in on the "shut the f@ck up!" shaming was half-hearted at best. And I laughed out loud in the last episode when he said "43 and I'm talking about guy code" and rolled his eyes. I wonder if he'll come back for another season. Did I hear Madison call Austen and Craig the "Mustard Brothers"? If so, well done, Madison. If I thought the rest of the drama wasn't mostly producer-driven shenanigans I would have more to say about it. I did enjoy how it amped up a bit on the return boat ride when they were all drunk. All of that said, I enjoy this show more than I probably should. I'll miss it when it's over.

Malia, stop fixing your hair around all of that food. Yuck.

Lara is a psychopath. Kiko is adorable. "F$ck you, carrots" is going to be my new catchphrase.

So much inner conflict, lol.

I shall now and forever refer to shows that are past their time as "having a pillow party". Many thanks.

A few thoughts: The kids are superior dancers to the OGs. I enjoyed the dances and thought the histrionics about the little wobbles were ridiculous. As usual, the moms are obviously being instructed to throw barbs and it's very jarring how they seem to come out of nowhere. The original moms did the same thing, but at least their history together before the show made it less obvious. Cat ears. The end. #freehannah All of that said, Baby Girl RalyWilmy and I are in! The awesome dancing, coupled with crazy moms (scripted or not) has us hooked already. 🙂
