Wrap this Mia shit up ASAP. It's not entertaining in the slightest. I like mess, but this is more like trauma. Not interested. Don't care about Ashley and her mom. Wendy's mom is gross in every way. I lowkey believe she made that shrine and I think Wendy knows and was just too embarrassed to admit it. Stacey. Girl. It wasn't entertaining when Kenya and Walter did it and it's not entertaining now. Stop it. Jassi and Keiarna...no longer interested. And Jassi's man in particular seems more like her son. Her wayward son. And who dates a man who has a baby on the way? What happened to this show?

Wendy wants to be the It girl and has since she joined the show, but she's just not. I think her me me me stuff is an extension of that.

I'm rubbing my hands together at the thought of Karen being exposed. She is way too up her own ass this season. 8th wonder? Bish please. Wendy looks 45 to me, and that's being generous. I was cackling when Mia asked her friends to go around the table and tell stories about HER. What kind of birthday celebration is this? Lol Stacey pulled an uno reverse on Mia with those bunk beds and I loved it. Robyn leaving is the best thing to happen to Giz. She's so likeable this season, and she handled Karen well. Keiarna. Girl. Free labor? I'd respect you more if you were a beg for a ring girl. What are you doing? That boat ride was sad. Actually, the whole trip is. Potomac seems to have the most low budget excursions of any cast.

Robyn was boring and useless. Candiace probably didn't want heat from Ashley while pregnant after the way she treated her.

Stacy, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this.... TJ is not sexually attracted to you. Hard agree with the poster who said they both had chemistry with the trainer lol The twins are absolutely gorgeous! Love or hate Giz and Pastor Holy Whore, they did a great job with their girls. I also love that they're all at hbcus carrying on the legacy. Something about Wendy's mom disturbs me. I don't know if its the grey bleached skin, the overbearing attitude, or the weird way she talks about religion, but I'd be fine not seeing her anymore. Jassi (sp?) is so pretty. I like her so far, but her boyfriend sounds iffy. Multiple kids but no serious relationship ever? Yikes. Keiarna is meh to me so far. Can't wait for the ladies to get in Karen's ass next week.

One of my favorite episodes of this show ever. I laughed out loud so many times. Melissa especially tickled me with her frustration over people not understanding that damn hot tub was IN THE GROUND. Jacob's student was such a standout to me, especially him refusing to trash talk Morton THIS time because of the pressure on his bladder and then infuriatingly forgetting to go to the bathroom after all of it. So authentically middle school kid you wanna pinch lol

Karen is really losing me. The way she's handling the DUI, especially compared to a hw on a different show, is appalling. Then to pull these event shenanigans. It's Gizelle, so I know it's a frenemy thing, but it was an event honoring her father, so I can't ki kii like I normally would. That was foul. I think there was some subtext to Ashley's conversation with Stacy. I think what she's not saying is that her boys aren't black and don't see themselves as black (which is fair, they're maybe 25% if that), but I think she doesn't want backlash so she didn't say it out loud. Wendy's boobs were way too prominent and that outfit was doing the most. She looks good but read the room. I don't miss Robyn or Candace. Not sure about the new girls yet.

The son really said it best in that interview once he realized it was his mother. "Why would she do this? It's not taking care of me. My son's gonna have a screwed up life with his mother dead and his grandmother being the murderer." It's like these custody killers completely miss and/or block out that part of it. Same for the Adelsons from a few weeks back. I'm sure most of them lack empathy so perhaps they simply can't imagine the children feeling pain from the loss. Sick and twisted, the lot of them.

Amazing episode. Barbara was extremely frustrating to watch, but as pointed out, very much in character. I loved Gregory's matter of fact advice to and support of Janine, and Jacob/Melissa were everything. Final thought from an educator... it's a crying shame that we as a nation can find money to shell out for war and other things but not for our schools. It's absolutely shameful.

Wendi was in on it. She was the only one who knew Dan's exact whereabouts and movements on that day. She threw her brother under the bus for the same reason she tried to throw her ex boyfriend under the bus: to keep the heat off of herself.

I'm a black woman. I know black women. At most, Robyn looks mixed. Gizelle is clearly a light skinned black woman. But again, their features aren't character traits, nor are they the reason these two act like assholes. And I'd rather believe two cast members about THEIR experiences than those of folks on social media projecting their experiences onto them. Re: your edit, I'm aware that colorism is a global issue. I'm simply saying that as it relates to this show, there's a lot of projection going on and it's borderline offensive at this point.

There's not a single person on this show who is white passing. And the light women on this show have gone after each other with the same venom as they have anyone else. Of course colorism exists in general, but on this show? Even Candiace and Wendy said they didn't see it when given an opportunity to address it. But beyond that, I'm mostly unsettled by "light" and "white looking" being used as a pejorative because Gizelle or Robyn acted like an asshole. That's not addressing a serious issue. That's hurling insults. Would we tolerate it if it was the other way around? We all know the answer to that.

There seems to be a hyper focus on skin tone in here. It's kind of unsettling. Being dark or light isn't a character trait. Neither is eye color. Anyhoo, I like Nneka and Wendy because at least something is happening on the show. I mean, I think Wendy is lying and Nneka is dragging this whole thing, but I wanna see what happens next, so... mission accomplished, show. Mia probably already has her next sugar daddy lined up, so I don't need to see the therapy sessions, show. Just put Gordon out of his misery. Karen being nonsensical and funny as always. Gizelle and Candiace will never make up but I'm glad they can sit in the same vicinity. If I was either one of them, the other would be dead to me. Ready to see Robyn crying on the curb...

Wendy was clearly lying. The weird strutting, dancing, claiming jealousy, and snatching up Mia, who she just called low vibrational and slow? Girl. I really wanna like her, I do. But she makes it so hard. Something about her just isn't genuine.

This reminds me of a case on Does Murder Sleep (HBO max) where the husband had his pregnant wife killed and is recorded on the phone with the insurance company. Agent: I'm sorry sir, I can only give out info to the beneficiary on the policy Scumbag: *heavy sigh* Oh man. She was supposed to change it. She didn't change it in time. When the police played the call in the interrogation room, it was the most satisfying moment ever. But I'm with you, I can't help but think she'd still be alive if she told the scumbag she decided not to put her policies in his name like he asked her to.
