https://pagesix.com/2024/04/22/entertainment/mary-cosby-allegedly-calls-lisa-barlows-son-the-r-word-amid-rhoslc-production/ Who decided to bring Mary back? Why? Is it because she can be counted on do blurt things like this?

I finished watching all the episodes today and I've been all over the place in how I feel about Donny. The same holds true for Martha as well, but much more him.

I haven't found any reports indicating that the identity of the real life stalker has actually been confirmed to date. There are obviously people who know but as far as the general public goes so far it's a "Who Knows?" situation as it appears to be speculation only at the moment.

Interesting. I based my comment from this quote from Gadd, "I honestly couldn’t speak as to whether she would watch it. Her reactions to things varied so much that I almost couldn’t predict how she’d react to anything. She was quite an idiosyncratic person. We’ve gone to such great lengths to disguise her to the point that I don’t think she would recognize herself. What’s been borrowed is an emotional truth, not a fact-by-fact profile of someone," he said."

I'm about two or three in so far. She is scary and he's essentially an enabler regardless if he felt sorry for her or not. Jessica Gunning is doing a really good job with the role. I'm really curious about the real "Martha". I've read that Gadd said he wrote her with so many differences that the real "Martha" probably wouldn't recognize herself.

Lola...no reflection on the actor, but the character as written is too annoying and totally dispensable to the plot so far other than to fill the demographic bingo card.

She really doesn't have the desperation (be it monetary or fame/attention driven) that is shared by the most iconic housewives. She seems to live an upscale life of the stable variety with enough sense to keep her feet on the ground. Since her arrival on the scene I have had the sense she is a mean girl at heart and luckily landed in a marriage that allows her to rub shoulders with people she deems more worthy of her time. I still view her as a trophy wife not unlike what Erika thought she was getting herself into, just less trashy in her conduct and demeanor. I was going to say smarter than, but Erika is actually far from stupid in the street smarts sense at least. Crystal came in her first season swinging at the low hanging fruit (Sutton) which in the end was a bust and waste of time on her part. I think aligning herself with Sutton and Garcelle from the start would have been a better move on her part than looking to make her mark by taking one of them down for no good reason other than they were not part of the self-appointed cool girl tribe.

The lies! The deceit! The unnecessary and life changing debt suffered by so many for no good reason! If someone is feeling particularly grumpy this series is an excellent way to redirect anger. Just as bad as the monetary debt is the destruction of character and reputations which many held just as, if not more valuable.

Probably both? I really felt like they had enough story for less episodes but are obligated to produce more so aside from the few minutes of personal story progression they stretched the bus break down into this pretty much waste of time.

Quiet around here. Yet another decent show that hasn't had enough publicity. I almost didn't watch it myself but I'm glad I did and was able to binge six shows at once because I held off by dismissing at first as something I probably wasn't going to be interested (I was wrong). This was my least favorite episode to date because most of it felt too much like it was just a filler episode. So far...it's fluffy overall, but it throws in enough meat to give the main characters some flesh. I'm mostly curious about Scott Foley's character and whether there will eventually be some big scandal involving him.

Since the cast photo glamour shots for the upcoming season don't show either Jackie or Jenn Fessler it appears they'll be "friends of" again which seems unfair considering their amount of involvement last year. It leaves me wondering what the reason is behind that.

Don't forget the cat!

Season 4, episode 7 of Abbott Elementary (Librarian) had a great shout-out to RHoNJ. It seemed pretty obvious that at least one writer is on to Marge.

To show that production makes baffling choices? I wonder if there was another couple planned that had to pull out and they needed to fill the seats on the set that had already been planned and prepared. Interesting that she up the job which for which she expressed she had such an attachment during her season in order to join production. From Pediatric Speech and Language Pathologist to casting? I think we now have an explanation for some of the people chosen to appear on reality shows. I can't help but wonder how romping around in her underwear on camera and OTT PDA was received by colleagues and clients in her previous profession. I think they did it as a cautionary tale for people entertaining similar ideas in the future by letting them know they will be humiliated on TV if it comes to light. It wouldn't surprise me to learn there is a clause in their contracts making reunion attendance mandatory. I'm not sorry they showcased him and those messages considering the sympathetic edit he received during the episodes. All in all this wasn't a great season. I still think season one of Sweden is the best.

I think AD needs to differentiate between looking fine and being fine. She mentioned Clay's looks too many times for it not to be a thing with her. She seems to even put a big emphasis upon looks regarding herself considering how she preened, postured, and commenced shimmying when her own looks were mentioned. That ridiculously slitted gown! It would benefit her to see beyond the physical. She's got more to offer than that and deserves better in return.
