Are people really dissing Bilal's performance but asking for Tevin fucking Campbell? Good lordt...I thought Bilal was perfect singing Beautiful Ones as was Erykah on Dorothy Parker. Although I've wanted to hear Bilal sing that song since I saw him live in Philly about 15 years ago. Maxwell was good but passion-less maybe he wasn't a Prince fan; his performance didn't move me at all. Jesse Williams' speech was everything and then some. He said everything I've been thinking about this new Civil Rights movement. I typically skip the BET Awards but there were enough great moments to balance the ratchet. Alicia Keyes was boring. Somebody needs to help her find the key.

There are many ways to subdue a person without putting your knee on their back and to put the blame on crazy and less so on Bayley is utter bullshit. The flashbacks showed he's always been a fuck up. In this particular instance it cost someone their life. Ill-trained or not common sense says if you're kneeling and someone is attacking you from above stand the fuck up. I refuse to put the blame anywhere but squarely on the person in the uniform. I am sick of people being absolved of bad behavior and idiocy.

When Tamir Rice was shot by the police officer in Cleveland the cops never administered CPR and let him lay there and bleed to death. When the cop shot Ramarly Graham in the stairwell he called his union rep instead of an ambulance. I was surprised to see people here complain about CPR not being administered after the events we've seen in real life. It's weird that previously I thought Healey and Pornstache were awful but these new guards are sadist assholes. They don't even see the prisoners as human beings! I was devastated to see Poussey die but I love the flashbacks of the way she lived. I'm glad her family is well-to-do hopefully they'll sue the pants off MCC.

I thought we already knew why Suzanne was in jail. My god what a tragedy.

Oh this show has done this before. Alex and Simon most notably. Jill actually suggested not filming with Beth when their feud started. Atlanta crew wouldn't film with Kenya in season 6. Freezing one out is kinda what Housewives do--reminds me of high school. I don't know if I have anything for this one besides I absolutely hate Bethenny Frankel.

What is Dawn Ward's storyline besides starting trouble with castmates and manipulating dimwitted Leanne? The final scene in the kitchen was just horrid to watch. No matter whose jet it was dear Dawn, you were not invited to Paris at all! This woman is terrible Tanya is pregnant and Dawn called her plump! What's interesting is Dawn's got plenty going on off camera but for some reason its all cut out in favor of her constantly starting drama. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/12140284/Real-Housewives-Dawn-Ward-punched-pop-singer-Sinitta-court-hears.html God bless Ampika for standing up for herself. And God bless Lauren for standing by Ampika. Stacey is a stealth bitch. There's nothing wrong with Ampika's house!

There was no crash in 2000, there was a recession dramatically different. The mastermind behind the 93 bombing is in a maximum security prison in upstate NY because he was caught and tried by the Clinton administration, but yeah semen is gross and disqualifies you as a surrogate. I kind of wish the last straw had been "black people should ask for paychecks not foodstamps" "black people always want free stuff". None of this is new from Republicans it's just the guy delivering it won't play the wink, wink game they've played in the past including Joe.

Trump has trotted all that out + Vince Foster to no avail. We've heard it all before about the Clintons but if you lived through it you remember the great economy and a spiteful, disgusting Republican party. Same party that cannot trot out its "formers" one of whom crashed the economy and let Osama Bin Laden blow up downtown Manhattan and the Pentagon, the other sold weapons to Iran. Sexual peccadilloes are forgivable but incompetence and treason are not. Heilmann et al know that bashing Bill Clinton never works, love or hate him he's beloved by minority Gen X voters who make up the base of the Democrat party.

Might want to check out Bill's speech from 2012...a lot of the economic stuff was off the top of his head--he'll be a great surrogate for his wife. He's had more than one heart attack and a bypass so I think his frailty makes sense but I'll take frailty over orange skin and outer space hair any day

there are 12...here's the article http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fed-source-about-12-fbi-agents-working-clinton-email-inquiry-n548026

Bethenny inherited a lot of the "no fucks to give" level of wealth she enjoys today. Jill and Bethenny screeching harpies that like to supervise everyone. It's as if she's casting the show in her head and has decided the role each of the women will play and if said HW doesn't play along she gets the screaming harridan we enjoyed on Wednesday.

I believe "euphemism" is the word you're all looking for. I agree with Yours Truly in that Lu tries to be precise in her characterization of her encounters because her behavior and everything she says is scrutinized. Lovers and fuck buddies are two different things; Sonja knows that, but her only way to get back in with the group is to report on Lu's sexual activities. Did Lu tell Ramona about Ibiza or did Sonja? I think Lu would have done herself a favor if she forked over the cash for hotels/sublet instead of giving Sonja fodder to get back in with the mean girls. I wonder if Bethany's behavior towards Lu is a replay of Bethany's father/stepfather with her mother. They say there was a lot of fighting and B's mom always had men around. Whether true or not I'm sure it will be the excuse at the reunion for why she so viciously went after Luann. Can't find the post because the board's been moving fast but not slut shaming or calling people whores isn't PC it's growth. For two long we let men, the church and weird puritans define our behavior it very strict terms just because we're women. That is no longer to be tolerated in a modern society--thank Goddess! ETA: Why didn't Dorinda jump in to say she introduced Lu and Tom so back that shit up.

Eh as someone approaching menopause and still sexually active I think certain medical procedures could be deemed educational. Actually if Sonja had good people advising her she could turn her Sexy J into a sex-education video series on what to expect during pre/post menopause. I'm sure there's a natural lube she could develop a la Gracie & Frankie that would be a hit since really her freedom with her sexuality is what made her popular.

The actor playing Nolan also played young Danny. I stopped watching after ep 6 because bratty teens don't make good TV to me.

So where's the fancy Christmas decoration place that Dorinda should have gotten her decorations from? I've shopped at Harry & David and their decorations may not break after holiday use but they are no less kitschy. If Bethenny were less of a harridan she could have just made a joke about the hair remark from Lu. I'm looking forward to Dorinda throwing everyone out of her house next week. I hope she kicks the cameras and producers out too delivering an epic "I quit" speech.

All Luann is claiming is they were together when Beth came up with it and was one of the first to try it. Why do people keep saying Luann is hard up for cash? I think her needing a place to stay in the city was the excuse so she and Sonja could always film together thus ensuring each would get a paycheck and facetime. Given Sonja's financial situation it's being a good supportive friend.

Ramona is so jealous of Luann's sex life. She's really mad that Luann's one night stands turn into relationships. So of course she's going to make a big deal of Luann's boyfriend dating her first. Clearly one of them wasn't that interested or he wouldn't have moved on. I hope he's as nice as he seemed at dinner. Even though she can be "countess-y" Luann is sexy, sophisticated and funny all the things Ramona will never be. I mean picture Ramona at a high class dinner party or Guggenheim fundraiser--remember when she met the blind Governor of New York? Carole and Ramona being jesters for Queen Bethenny was so pathetic. What Luann should have used for leverage in salary negotiation is 1) she's the only one who can truly stand up to Bethenny 2) Bethenny is incapable of making friends so they can't just keep getting rid of people she doesn't like. Slut shaming the Countess is clearly producer driven since even Sonja is getting in on the act in her talking heads. Dorinda is going to quit in a spectacular way. She doesn't really like these women and the show isn't really doing her any favors. I don't believe she's fragile; I think she's pissed she can't say exactly what she wants because of the cameras hence all the crying. The dinner party with Dorinda, Jules and Luann was really nice until stupid John made that tasteless joke. Actually until John made that remark it was the nicest dinner party on this show in a while. Completely agree with whoever said Bethenny, "Zarined" herself; she's being as big an egomaniac as Jill. I want to know who gave the story to the Post--John??

This show is so boring. We complain about made up drama on the other Housewives shows, but none of the others have sunk to the level of arguing over a makeover. Dawn and Misse bonding over both being insecure in the face of Ampika's joy and confidence is really pathetic.

I loved Bob hanging out with the young chefs. I wished it had resulted in a great write up for the restaurant or more business. I really want to see Bob succeed. Another great episode my only complaint is there wasn't enough Louise.

@ZaldamoWilder I think Bethenny's delivery is why her advice comes off wrong. I thought her suggestions were spot on but to say "Kristen's stupid; she didn't get the name trademarked" is really rude. Why is squirting dirty, nasty? Why is dating and having sex for a woman over 18 whose children are grown a reason to disparage her? Unless Luann slept with Mario, Ramona needs to stfu. Ramona is a bitter, lonely, ugly person. At the reunion she'll offer a half-assed apology and her co-workers will just have to accept it because haha that's just crazy Ramona. How can a person who always talks about the importance of girlfriends be such a horrible girlfriend? I would never entertain a conversation in which a man shared the details of sleeping with my friend/coworker. I think Ramona and Mario harbored some resentment of Luann because she was in a higher social sphere when she was married than they were. Not that Lu wasn't a snob but Ramona (and Mario) always take every opportunity to slut shame Luann. The trick of the upper class is they're no different than the middle class it's just they do their cheating, stealing and whatever else with style and grace. I think that's why I'm tiring of these shows. My friends and I are classier, savvier and 100x more mature than these women. I guess it's the difference between having to hustle and use your wits to make it versus setting out to marry well to make it.

In this family!?? People disappear all the time. Shit, Rhonda killed someone her damn self. If somebody said "I was kidnapped by hip hop loving aliens" it would be completely plausible. Do you guys follow Jussie Smollet on Twitter? The person doing TPH's eyebrows should be fired and shunned. Great episode.

Fakest fashion show ever! OMG Leanne let it go; people are allowed not to invite you. So did Misse really think she could slut shame Ampika and Ampika would just take it? Girl shut up, you were wrong, apologize. I hate people who assault your character then judge you for being passionate in your defense of yourself. I tried to like Misse but there doesn't seem to be anything there worth getting to know let alone like. Poor Lauren! She needs to get off this show and mourn the death of her marriage. If I hang around to the end it will be just to see Lauren make "wtf" faces at Dawn. I hate the direction this show has gone so I think that's it for me. Dawn Ward is a horrible person with a great house to look at. That's it.

The Dixie Chicks have been ostracized for a decade for criticizing Bush. North Carolina is banning trans people from bathrooms and cheered on by a particular news channel. Ever heard Elizabeth Hasselbeck when she was on The View or Fox & Friends. As far as some conservatives are concerned it's the dark ages. Hayden deserves better than this show. Maddie makes me happy I decided not to have kids.

That speech she gave about him ruining her life was awful especially if she's been saying stuff like that to him since he was a child. Ms Uggams was awesome. I know people like Porsha but I have no patience for stupid or indescretion so I'd be happy not to see her anymore. And I know this will sound petty but you know Vivica wants to be playing Cookie. Speaking of, whatever is going on with Taraji's eyebrows but the makeup folks need to make some strong recommendations about going easy on the arching--WOW.

This show is suffering without Lu and Sonja. I'm out though. Bethenny is a screeching asshole and I'm not here for it. I AM DONE. CPT ?? Really? Did you not hear POTUS say specifically that's not a joke white people should make. And what was with Carole making fun of Jules' home? What an incredibly rude thing to say. There's nothing enjoyable about this show anymore. Bethenny is officially worse than Jill Zarin and Carole has sold her soul for a place in Bethenny's ass. Wow I'm down to Melbourne and Atlanta. Almost kicked the Real Housewives habit.
