Thanks so much for filling me in on Mae’s story. I watched the show from the beginning but somehow missed a season or a few episodes along the way.

Interesting, in the linked article about the actress who played Lucille; she said she left to explore new opportunities. But, according to IMDb, she’s not working on anything since CTM. Unless it’s outside show business. It did kind of leave her tv husband stranded. I do like how they’ve integrated him into the show (as the most quickly qualified social worker ever) and I hope he gets a new romance soon, he deserves it. This week was better after the downer that last week’s show was. I always feel this show is such a mix of terrible, harsh reality and treacly, warm and fuzz goodness.

When it seemed like everyone was gathered around Mae, I thought, great, now no one is looking after all the cubs. 😂 Can anyone provide me with a quick backstory on how they came to have Mae? If her birth mother no longer has custody, why would she get to dictate the child’s placement? I remember when my dad lost his job. We were a one income family, four kids. My dad was no alpha male but he didn’t tell my mum at first because he felt such a failure.

This is not good. What about Brynn? I guess she’s trying to destroy her relationship with her dad. I say this as someone who used to enjoy BF on RHONYC, shut up, just shut up. Doesn’t she have enough good stuff in her life that she’s going to spend ten years talking about her ten year divorce? Oh and she says Andy Cohen promised her that her series would be about her business and then sneakily made it about her wedding and marriage. Poor naive little Bethenny!

Oh, don’t make me go to Reddit. Ugh. (I know I will.) Bobby has improved enormously. A lot of people on Twitter are upset over the Roy is a murderer storyline. But I imagine the actor is enjoying the challenge. Also, interesting to see how loveable Roy is portrayed as creepy on social media. I think that part is well done.

Not shocked, to say the least. I didn’t realize that he’s younger than her.

Gah, none of these people are likeable. I think Mr Banks is my favourite. I don’t even like Hippy that much, because a) terrible name and b) be nice to Mr Banks! But I really can’t stand Katie. I associate the word ‘sour’ with her. As someone else mentioned, they had changed the subject away from Tom, then she said, I don’t want to talk about Sandoval. Then proceeded to talk about him. And notice it was all about how he was never nice to her. Take your BDE and have fun running your nonexistent sandwich shop.

The only negative thing I would say about. Guerdy is that her reunion dress was awful. Maybe it was okay standing up, but it was just not a good look while she was sitting down.

Thanks! I just found it.

Where to watch 20 Days?

I loved the cut to Messi clapping in the audience. And on a truly petty note, it bugs me that Emily Blunt’s dress straps don’t sit on her shoulders. I know it’s designed that way. I just don’t like it.

Ay yi yi, these people screech and yell over each other more than the other housewives. Favourite looks were Lisa, Nicole and Adriana. I hated the Marcus commentary. Btw, the Chris Evert’’s son with Julia analogy was bang on, Marcus. Also, wasn’t he confused about the welcome home party after five days? Now, it’s hating on their love. Larsa deserves the most disgust for her disclosure and rude comments about Guerdy’s cancer diagnosis. But it doesn’t seem to penetrate. I can’t tell if she’s dumb, oblivious, self-centred or what.

OMG, I can’t believe that Larsa actually said that. “I’m sick too?” What a bitch. Nicole’s makeup looked terrible in her talking head in that red dress. I hate to say it, because she’s my favourite, but it’s true. Who knew Lisa’s family was from Jamaica?! I wish the husbands showed up a bit more. I like Nicole’s husband. Todd seemed to really dial back his appearances this season. But less Marcus and that stupid, boring podcast. By the way, I won’t listen to it but I’d like to know what Larsa actually said about being bitten. That scene of Russell shaving off Guerdy’s hair was very moving.

We now have Bobby on Canadian Corrie. And y’all were so right. He’s pretty unbearable so far.

What does Marcus do? He said he had to go to Fashion week for work? Is he paid to appear as a pseudo celebrity? Any scene that is him and Larsa doing their podcast is so boring. Who listens it? It is funny to see the flashbacks and see how different she looked. I feel for Guerdy. That’s a lot to navigate. I’m glad her family is taking good care of her. Adriana's confessional about why Alexia doesn’t like Nicole was perfection.

I was thinking the snow scenes at the farm might have been because of filming on different days. And the weather changed. Just another theory. Hey @YorkshireLass, you mentioned visiting in the spring. I’m going to Yorkshire at the beginning of May. We’re studying just outside Harrogate. I’m very excited and hoping for good weather! Miss Harbottle annoyed me. The way she acted with her bosses. I’m glad she didn’t last any longer. I’m torn about Siegfried and Mrs Hall. Not sure if I want them to end up together.

I’m watching Canadian time, so these are all future events for me. I don’t even know who Bobby is. I assume the actress who plays Aggie must be sick or something. She’s been gone for ages. I spotted Eileen the other day, just for a moment. Hope to see more of her. In Canada, we’re just leading up to Christmas. Daniel has just discovered that Daisy cheated on him. And it’s Hope birthday. Honestly, very boring right now. The highlight is Evelyn rescuing a dog from an abusive owner. Oh, and Asha rowing with her girlfriend. I hate those nose rings so much.

I know he has since died, but ugh, I really can’t stand Nicole’s father. He just seems unbearable. Still hoping Larsa is ripped to shreds at the reunion. I can’t remember anything else. I’m torn between sympathy and annoyance with Lisa. Lenny is an asshole but…he’s always seemed like an asshole. Jody seems like a good guy.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Larsa really is the worst. I thought it was interesting when Guerdy commented on not being able to find images of black breast cancer patients who suffered radiation rashes

I agrée. Bradley Whitfield was so eloquent in paying tribute to an amazing person, while still acknowledging his addiction issues.

Hume had a letter with Dignitas letterhead. They provide legal physician-assisted suicide in Switzerland. I was also disappointed with the resolution. I couldn’t stand any of them, including sad face Jay or the new guv, Jessie James. Can we pretend that this was all a dream and bring Cassie back? And we never saw Sunny’s kids this season.

I’m still watching but finding it tougher. Ryan and Paul are, by far, my two least favourite characters and they’re dominating the show right now. Boring, not enjoyable. And now, Aggie is getting assaulted at work, but we don’t even see her. Where is the actress? I actually like her but I feel we rarely see her lately. (Note, I’m on Canadian time, so a bit behind English viewing.)

I’m so torn because yes, Tamra is being very shitty to Jen. But, I agree with Gina, that Jen just doesn’t respond. Plus Ryan seems very much to be a creepy asshole. Plus Jen and him were selling those dic jpic hats, so that’s kind of gross. To sum it up, they’re all pretty gross.

I just watched this and I really loved it. i liked the sly mention of Imelda Staunton’s character thinking she’s queen and head of the commonwealth. I guess she wasn’t available because of playing the queen in The Crown.

I admired Rami’s attempt at the tortuous tie in of his past as a Palestinian with no freedom and how that informed his design during the freedom challenge. Did you strain something making that reach, Rami? 🤣 I want to know what happened to Laurence’s baby? If her family kicked her out and she only missed two weeks of school. I actually have a negative memory of Korto from her season but can’t remember why. I truly wish she’d change her lipstick colour. I’m over Prajie, especially after badmouthing Brittany. But mostly, not a fan of his work. What goes on in Elaine’s head that her first thought is ‘wedding gown’ upon seeing Bishme’s brown, sheer and pleather outfit worn with a visor.
