This is the thing. Kyle makes a big show about "I didn't SAY infidelity! I never used that word!" But she acts like there is infidelity, like searching through his DM's. People not worried about infidelity don't do that.

We see her shocked expressions often. A lot of times it includes an open jaw, plus a head and hair swing to look at someone as if wondering, "did you just hear her call me a liar?!" Shocked! I'm sure she practices in the mirror.

Not gonna lie, I'm interested in that designer's makeover of Erika's house. Erika's style is wrong for that house. She's currently stuffy formal and wants freedom and sexy, while that house needs some fun and whimsy. Eagerly awaiting the transformation! Other than that, I got nuthin'.

I think the "shift" red is just showing that fewer Democrats voted this time over 2020. Trump got about the same number of votes he got in 2020. If fewer blue voters show up everywhere, it looks like there's more red voters, but they stayed the same.

I agree with you. But I think all they "heard" is that she is a black woman and too many Americans couldn't handle that.

On Wedding Wonderland, I thought it was odd that they didn't make one the bathroom in the bridal suite bigger, with a large mirror and space for a stylist to do hair and makeup. There wasn't even a full-length mirror in the room where they had the wedding dress hung up. I also wondered where wedding guests would go to use the toilet. With a 100 people in the barn, I don't think using just the house would be enough. Port-o-potties?

There was a tv, but it was in the small front room with the two non-cushy chairs, so not at all conducive for a family watching tv.

I'm pretty sure the cop explained the third murder was in this episode. They found the mummified remains of the balcony victim's husband somewhere inside the apartment. He hadn't left her 30 years ago, as everyone thought in the episode. She had killed her husband 30 years ago.

I was going to say the new batch of interns isn't interesting, but really, none of them are anymore.

Erika comes off as the least sexual and definitely least sexy of the Housewives. It's fake, plastic sexy, not a real sexiness to her.

Kyle put her own kids' emotions on tv, while refusing to talk about her own or BE HONEST about what's going on with her and Mau.

I rewatched Belgravia just before this, so it was a little weird to see them jump into the future with completely new characters. I guess it makes sense that Oliver would treat Frederick badly, but I hope this isn't going to be a grim and gloomy tale the whole way through. He has a lot to learn.

Spending over half a million dollars a year in rent doesn't make much sense to me, either. Do they live in a house now, and are moving to an apartment? Is that why this place seems small to Alexia?

I surprised myself by feeling the same way. All along, I didn't really care either way about them as a couple, except how it might set up a few good scenes between Agnes and Bertha. But I was charmed by their moment on the stairs, and now I'm rooting for them. I am rooting for Gladys, too, and don't want her to be sold off to the Duke. I see no signs that she likes him, and I can't imagine she wants to leave everyone behind in NY to move to England. But I am looking forward to the fireworks in the Russell house when Bertha's bargain becomes known. Oskar brought all his troubles on himself, but I'm tired of watching him lose all the time. I like happy, fun Oskar. I would have liked to see him and Marion develop more of a relationship, but we didn't get much of that. I'm glad we did get a lot of events, dinners and parties this season, which meant lots of gorgeous gowns. I was disappointed by Bertha's, Gladys', and Marian's Met gowns, though. Neither the colors nor the designs worked for me.

I think it has to do with Kathy. Kyle said earlier this season that Sutton (and Crystal?) is friendly with Kathy and goes to her parties and socializes with her. And that irritates Kyle, because Kyle is mad at Kathy and expects Sutton to also be mad at Kathy. Also because Kyle wasn't included, and they didn't miss her one bit. So Kyle came into the season mad at Sutton about that, and started in with the drinking theme to get back at her and to distract from her Mauricio problems. But I have no understanding of where his cheating and the fallout and Kyle's new tattoo relationship fall in the timeline of this season.
