Yeah the placement didn't matter and honestly the ghost of Joan Rivers could've come and inhabited Arietty's body and she still would've flopped.

I could not believe production let a golden opportunity to do a "Who Should Go Home and Why" moment slip through their fingers.

I didn't mind Wendy the first two parts but she got on my nerves this episode because she was coming at Stacey with a condescending attitude as if she hadn't had to crawl to Gizelle for the two of them to make peace so they both could stay on the show.

I wish Stacey had articulated her point better because she's right that these ladies thought TJ was a scammer/ain't shit dude all season but suddenly he's the arbiter of truth when he reveals something that would negatively impact Stacey

Kori King's Betsey Johnson is like if like if her entrance took whatever is the opposite of the Substance

IF I was Sutton I would've told Dorit to focus on the alcoholic in her own damn house before coming for me.

Eddie calling TJ is, to me, exactly the same as when Justin called Jared on RHOSLC. Like clearly production had a hand in it but whatever happened after that is on TJ.

I don't go up for Gizelle very often but her saying that Mia was a horrible mother for using paternity of her child as a storyline, especially when that child was conceived through IVF. Did we know that the child had been conceived that way prior to the reunion? because that really makes the whole storyline fake as hell. This is Wendy's best reunion performance, easily.

No shade, but you forfeited any claims of dignity the moment you come onto this show.

Also I just remembered how Heather had spent a lot of the post-reunion filming talking about how Bronwyn had a terrible reunion and that is completely untrue? I feel like she did a good job of saving herself along with the right couch being so ridiculous towards, especially with Lisa and the jewelry store stuff. I think Heather's disdain for Bronwyn's continued popularity completely clouds her judgment, especially after how everybody kept dragging Heather for her aftershow performance,

Meredith looks extra ridiculous screaming at Angie and Shawn over that podcast in regard to Brooks when she had no problem handwaving all that behavior away Jen's last season because she needed an ally and accepting that prison phone call now. Britani getting back with Jared after all this stuff at the reunion makes her look even more pathetic. Like just when we thought she had reached rock bottom, turns out rock bottom has a basement that opens out to hell with French doors. I wish someone would've directly said about the Whitney/Lisa thing is that everybody else shared texts about their feelings, Whitney used the burn book opportunity to get a rumor ON CAMERA so her "wanting to burn something" was always a smoke screen. And I don't even like Lisa like that.

The reunion makes it so abundantly clear that Meredith, Heather, and Lisa had a pact going into this season and are doing their absolute most to maintain a unified front.

The extended version on Peacock has footage of the women breaking for lunch and Heather's bitterness over Bronwyn runs so deep. She seems to be really shaken that someone came into this show and became a fan favorite and won't be driven off of it like Monica (rightly) was. The way she digs at Bronwyn for being able to speak effectively and how she does it for Twitter fandom is wild. A friend of mine pointed out that they are more similar than dissimilar because they both went through things (pregnancy, divorce) that found themselves on the outs with their Mormon background and were able to carve out new lives through marriage and this TV show to survive. They have more in common than either of them would probably want to admit to. And I think the symmetry of how Rihanna loved Heather season one and how Rihanna is a fan of Bronwyn's now symbolizes everything that Heather perceives she's lost in terms of cache in the intervening years.

The thing with Lisa that will fuck her up in the long run is that her need to be right outweighs her self-preservation. She keeps doubling down on the show and social media, when a simple "I'm sorry if I caused any pain" would've done enough, even if she didn't believe it.

It was a weird challenge, mostly because it made me think of the infomercial challenge from season 4. I was thinking, I bet you almost all the girls on this show do not even know what they are parodying because these kind of album compilations and their commercials were so before their time. No shade to my girl Onya Nurve, but this is the second win in a row that felt driven by producers wanting to start drama among the girls. Last week with Sam over Ariety and this week with Onya instead of Crystal all seemed equal parts earned with a bonus of riling people up. I know it's a running joke that nobody knows who the guest judge is but I truly had no clue and went to IMDB and they only have seven credits so it's wild that landed this gig.
