I actually felt sorry for Leah tonight. She obviously wants a guy to just love her unconditionally but there are so many issues with her that are not being dealt with and she continues to spiral down. Leah doesn't seem to have any sense that until her true problems are addressed, she is pretty much screwed out of finding her happiness. I thought the scene with her sister was very telling also. She, the sister knows the scoop and there was such a look of hopelessness on her face.

So Chelsea is on vacation and I am thinking, well at least Aubrey gets a break from being grilled and the scene cuts to Grandma grilling her about Adam. They need to stop with the constant comparisons between Adam and Cole. That is bad for Aubrey and will eventually lead to resentment towards them. Kids want to love their parents despite their faults and yes I know Adam has many but he is still Dad and not going away. Aubrey will figure things out on her own. Kids are smart that way. I like Chelsea but she is hurting Aubrey more than Adam which I feel is probably her true goal.

So last week, Kathryn was all about being independent and this week she is asking Thomas to co-sign her lease. She complains about not being invited to events but continues to make a scene everywhere she goes. What is the matter with her? She is her own worst enemy and Thomas is no better. Those poor babies. Then we have Landon with rich girl problems. Does she not understand that most people have to work for a living and is this the first time her Dad has given her a reality check? I don't think she expected that. She really seemed depressed about her life in general.

Yes thank you Lemons. I so agree with this and I am a small chested woman too. Wearing a bra for me is a necessity. I have never had luck with the technique of going down a band size and up a cup size. If one poked me in the boob while wearing this size, you would leave a dent in the bra cup. Victoria's Secret is always trying to get me to do this because they never have my correct size. I am side eyeing Carole that she is a c cup. Not buying that at all.

Yes I loved the way Quinn was trying to minimalize attempted muder. Acting like Deacon was blowing it out of proportion. My head would have cracked open at that had I been Deacon.

OMG, was that seaweed Deacon threw off his body today? Hilarious and campy as hell but I'm ok with that. Welcome back Deacon. Can't wait for Bill to seek some revenge. The show has been fun the past week or so.

Relationships in the honeymoon phase actually trigger the brain in some similar ways as drugs do. I think once that phase resides, Leah is looking for that honeymoon high again.

Somebody tell Romona that conversations are a two way exercise. I had to lol when she said Carole should talk more. But Ramona that would mean you need to shut up and listen for at least a few seconds. Never change girl. Beth's face looks different to me and it's not the haircut which I do like. I also liked Dorinda's shorter cut. Looks like it will be a fun season. I love the city of NY.

Finally, the jig is up, hopefully. I thought that scene was well played by all today. Small nuances by both Quinn and Wyatt while Liam was just totally rattled. Edited for spelling

I lost my Mom less than a year ago to Alzheimer's. I miss her at a gutteral level, like it is actually physically painful at times. That call scene got to me, I'm not gonna lie. As far as this ongoing war, I am staying somewhat neutral because too much of the fight details happened off camera. I have been reading everyone's comments and so many good points by all. the only thing I felt strongly about last night is that Yolanda is still smug and condescending. As someone with a chronic disease, I cannot relate to this woman at all. Yes people need to get on with their lives. I love my family and friends and I don't want them to have to worry about me. I want the time they spend with me to be enjoyable. It helps me too. Plus if I need help from them, I can pick up the phone and request it. This works well because it gives them a chance to feel like they are helping me in a constructive way, and they are. That is one thing Yo needs to assume some responsibility for. She seems to think she never should have to reach out to anyone. People aren't mind readers. And in memory of my wonderful Mom who always told me, there are a lot of good people in this world and all any of us has to do is reach out. Reach out Yo.

The main reason I feel cynical about this relationship is because it has moved very fast. If Rob had all these problems and now he is suddenly fine, I am skeptical. I am not a big believer that one person can solve another person's issues by falling in love with said person. That comes from personal work on oneself. If there isn't any true growth, well the problems will rear their ugly head again. Most likely when the honeymoon phase of the relationship ends. But maybe Rob's problems are not what they seem and were blown out of proportion. I just don't know.

Wait, didn't Shep's hotdog joint burn down or am I dreaming that? Does anyone know? Does he have another restaurant?

Shep is coming off as bitter and it is not a good look. Kathryn and Thomas are so toxic together. They both own some of it but I give her a bit of a break for her age. I googled that by the way and Bravo has a little diddy that says she is 24. Sorry I missed her on wwhl last night.

Just want to add that since they tapped into Latin soul funk last night, I hope they can give us some Eric Burdon and War. They already had some major hits out in the early 70's. Spill the Wine comes to mind for one. Nobody did it better. Talk about some talented musicians.

This show needs to give us someone to root for. There is a true lack of a true protagonist. I want to like this show so much but come on writers. I love the era and coming off one of the greatest decades for music, both the sixties and seventies are ripe with music history. I know in my lifetime, there will never be another era like this musically speaking. The talent of that time is unbelievable. It would be nice for young people to experience it.

I really like Chandi and her Mom was great. Caitlyn delivers these platitudes or dare I say lines in the script, the sentiments are good but there is zero emotional connection to what she is talking about. You can't fake sincerity. But Chandi always gives me that in spades. She has an interesting story.

This is a good analysis. I think people in general (excluding her rabid fans who already think she walks on water), would like to give Leah a break if she would take some personal responsibility for her lot in life. I realize there most likely is denial issues related to an alleged drug problem but even before that issue existed, she has always had poor self awareness. Personally, I would cheer her on if she would exhibit some emotional growth and she would certainly start to feel better about her life too. Like you said, one problem is all the sycophants she has surrounded herself with.

OMG, that is hilarious. (not the sick dog but your take on it). Thanks for the belly laugh.

So Rinna is mad about something that the viewing audience has no clue about. This is the stuff that drives me crazy. Bravo should not push storylines that leave us viewers scratching our heads in confusion cause we are out of the loop. It seems like BH has been particularly guilty of this too over the years.

I'll go even further than that. I am a nurse and often would take care of infants in the hospital with respiratory distress. Most would be diagnosed with reactive asthma. Nine times out of ten, there was a smoker in the house. As a nurse, you do your patient education with the parents regarding smoking. I can't tell you how many times, people would say, but I don't smoke in the house. It does not matter because you carry it on your clothes and the child is still exposed. I know it is an addiction and tough habit to break but those are the facts relating to children and asthma.

Your mother is one smart cookie. It really is that simple.

This is the stupidest fight ever. I feel like Katherine might have nailed it when she said both Lisa's could be right. I think they are both remembering different things with each convinced, their version is right. How ironic is it too, that Eileen, by trying to expose Lisa's manipulations, has herself become manipulative. Egging Rinna on to confront Lisa. I was actually enjoying the fun parts of the show tonight. Kyle squeezing into the wet suit and goofing off. I enjoy the animal scenes. But Lord, every time these women sit down to eat, here comes the conflict. Not organic at all.

I feel your pain. I'm still hoping Deacon is gonna float to shore, alive.

Yeah, I don't think you can always go by the number of posts. For example, Kyle herself really gets discussed more in Kim's thread. I don't know what Bravo thinks regarding any of these people. As to who will stay or go. Don't have a clue. Personally Yo fascinates me from a human nature standpoint. I often find myself saying, I can't believe the crap she spews and gets away with. I guess it intrigues me at some level. Not sure what it says about me, but there it is. However, I don't find her particularly intelligent. I think Lisa and Eileen are smart but Lisa is more fun to watch IMO.

Regarding Jo and Javi getting along last season, it is a moot point. Javi is emotionally abusive and it is just a means of control that he can exert over Kail. The same way he used his son as a control when he demanded to see him. That is the essence of abuse. There is no rational thought processes to a person who abuses in this manner. We can look at it and see things clearly but I guarantee, Javi does not view it that way. He sees himself as the victim. I don't care for Kail either as she can be manipulative and puts the boys in the middle of adult problems but she doesn't deserve the abuse. I don't have much hope for that marriage. People that have abuse issues are not likely to change without A LOT of therapy if even then.
