Can we talk about casually Jennie dropped the little info that she has anger management issues and broke her husband's ribs because she was throwing stuff? That was wild.

I don't for a second believe that Jen's mother actually did that. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something they just said on camera to garner sympathy from the public.

I think not acknowledging that these women are on a TV show together is creating some truly bizarre storylines. Like this idea that Mary and Meredith weren't on that bus indicates that they knew something was up because only the women and their family knew about the trip is so dumb because lots of people would have to know about the trip with all the cast, crew, the places that you were going to be filming at because you'd have to get permission and whatnot. It's also so wild to watch a group of women have a collective abusive relationship with Jen. Like she gets drunk, yells and gets physical and is punished by (check notes) getting the best room? I will give them a smidge of credit that they are more confrontational with Jen than their RHOBH counterparts were with Erika but that's not saying much. You'd think that someone would be savvy enough to know which ways the winds were blowing and know that being anti-Jen is the way to go. Meredith is almost there but she also doesn't want to engage, which does not work on a reality show.

Did anyone else feel like this episode had an All Stars energy? Maybe because of the talent show. But also because of how invested RuPaul felt in the girls as well as the chemistry among the contestants had such a rapport that it just had a different more fun energy. Kornbread is going to be a confessionals legend like Katya, Alaska, Mariah, Kennedy, Ra'Jah

I thought it was weird how they didn't really discuss that every Housewives reunion has a color theme of some sort. So like GIzelle and Karen's outfits would never be on the same reunion because they would be too dissimilar in terms of color story. It would've made more sense if each city had pre-determined color parameters because that's one of the real restraints. I did find it hilarious when Gina was talking to the designers outside, and was all, "Wait, is smoking back? Why are you two smoking?'

I think Prajje's outfit could've worked if the length had been shorter with a more intense amount of gradient coloring.

Of all the people, the only one I really felt bad for was Coral because she and Prajje had already had a discussion about switching models and she had already told him no so it should have been a moot issue at that point. But there came Christian to ask her again.

I did not enjoy Meg at all but one thing I thought was weird was Christian telling her back at the design studio that he thought the color palette was boring essentially. Like yes, telling her at MOOD made sense because she could change her mind and switch fabric. But once you're back at the place, cutting and designing, how helpful is that critique at all. I think that added to how rattling. I thought the overall, the argument really crystalized how things can spiral out of control with people and their various privileges (being a man vs. being a woman, black vs. white, etc.) go sort of unchecked and left to chaos.

Andy's only loyalty is to himself and even then he falters (looks back at his quarantine hair)

Andy saying, "I know how much you make on this show" is going to go up there with his retort to Ramona about how he'll talk about his sex life when he and his partner go on a reality show together.

Heather and her kid are giving me Eddy Monsoon and Saffy from AbFab vibes in the way Heather is desperate for her daughter to be wild lol

It's hard to take the "Where's the time for Charli to be a kid" seriously when you're saying this while you're currently filming a reality show

I feel like Heather's chief reason for reconciling with Jen Shah is because it makes for a good storyline. It feels way too manufactured and calculated, especially when you pair it with her talking heads that seem like they are at 180 degree difference when it comes to Jen. The fan favorite status had already gotten to her head by the reunion and two months out from the reunion does not seem to have brought Heather back to earth.

I did love that Heather and Jen basically both acknowledged that this attempt at reconciliation is only happening because the cameras started rolling on the new season.

In the words of one Nene Leakes, they chose the wrong team.

Kathy Hilton basically begging people to just have a nice dinner and then attack each other later felt like if you dropped a real person into a Housewives episode and saw how they would react.

The energy that Sutton and Garcelle are bringing in the talking heads now makes me think we're going to have a very wild reunion.

Erika showing up in the end in that dress like she's going to say "I'm Mrs. Norman Maine" into a microphone is hilarious to me.

Okay, Garcelle basically saying Erika should've just held out and waited for Tom to die is bleak yet hilarious all in one moment.

Truly. How many years has he promised amazing seasons of RHOBH and we've gotten a great trailer and then nothing.

Yeah, the obvious fucked up production had its hands all over this season but they also just made bizarre choices. Blanca getting that letter from Damon just made the creative choices at the beginning of the season make less sense. Like he became a drunk AND recovered between seasons just for him to relapse off screen and then seemingly I guess recover again and open three dance studios? Like wouldn't it have just been easier to have Googled a tour happening at the time period and have him be a dancer on it? Especially if you're going to give him a last second happening ending? For a season built on a lot of fantasy, I liked that touch of realism of them breaking off into different directions. The ballroom scene held them together and when they each left, they parted ways with no malice. It's like when you have these intense friendships in college and you graduate and move on and you stay in contact here and there but do not have that central hub of activity tying you together. Honestly, it would've made more sense if Elektra Abundance had gone into directing porn or something, like a ChiChi LaRue-esque character. She could even make a joke about how she's been directing men how to fuck all her life so might as well do it front of a camera. I get the reference they were making to Diana Ross's Central Park concert being rained out and whatnot, but I wish they had chosen to do her song "The Boss" or even "Love Hangover" since they used that song a bunch in Paris is Burning a lot.

I would say this is hugely stupid but not out of the bounds of reality given how Teresa Guidice went on national TV flaunting all the cash she had while doing illegal stuff lol

This is the first true really great episode of the season. Everything really clicked together.

Leah saying that this might be her Madonna/Ray of Light moment felt like something Jenna Maroney would've said on 30 Rock

You would think that the Countess would be all about the face masks to put her song titles on them to promote. Also, Leah converting feels like when Jerry's dentist converted to get better comedy material.
