  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I liked Christmas on Cherry Lane, too. I was very confused for a while, but once I saw the years on the screen, each with a different couple on the porch, it was easier to follow. And it was different! I love that they tried something new to shake up the usual story lines. I want to watch it again now that I know who all the people are. I like the older movies, so was happy to catch some favorites. A Christmas Melody with Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott...single mom moves back home, and her adorable daughter turns to her handsome music teacher to help her adjust. Mariah Carey makes an appearance as a bitchy PTA mom (she is not a good actress) who is competitive about the school musical. Good Morning Christmas! with Allison Sweeney and Marc Blucas is cute. Two bickering tv hosts are sent to a small Christmas town, and start seeing each other in a new, Christmas light. I like both actors, so this was fun. The Christmas Train with Dermot Mulroney and Kimberley Willaims-Paisely is about a writer traveling across the country by train for Christmas, and a group of fellow travelers that bond during the trip. There's some mystery and a few surprises, but best of all, it has Joan Cusack! I also liked Time for Us to Come Home. This one also has Lacey Chabert, who is mysteriously invited to an inn over Christmas, as are some of the other guests. And there's a handsome owner, of course, and a mystery. A Country Christmas Harmony with Brooke Elliott was good. I remembered it from last year, and it was worth a re-watch. She's a singer who comes back to her hometown after a long absence to work on her career, and runs into her estranged high school sweetheart.
  8. I think he doesn't want headlines about all the dead people he ordered shot at his factory. Maybe he is thinking of the children, but he's also thinking about Bertha. It wouldn't help her to attract more people to her opera house if everyone is talking about her husband and the deaths of his workers. Maybe it's just harder to order the deaths of people when you are standing there looking at them face to face, instead of making those decisions from an office in NY.
  9. Wow, if Annika had to pick the worst way to tell Michael about his daughter, in public on stage at a comedy club would be high on that list. I think Michael should have done the math himself, but it still must have been such a shock and it didn't have to be a rude one like that. I don't know how he can forgive her for hiding her daughter from him all these years, and then for telling him about it like it was a bad joke with no thought for his feelings.
  10. I'm so grateful the Napiers never gave us travesties like the hideous "chop and pop."
  11. These mean girls don't know what a circle of trust is. The point of a circle of trust is that you are sharing things about yourself with those in the circle. It's not where you make a pact to keep it a secret when you all gossip about others behind their backs. I agree with this. They had potential. Within their own groups of friends, any of them might be fun to watch. But none of them are friends, and seemingly don't like or aren't interested in each other enough to become friends. There aren't any organic relationships or genuine affection, so no one is having much fun. That makes them hard to watch. They don't care at all about each other, and they don't have any fun with each other, so that leaves them with bickering and sniping about petty shit. I can't care about their petty shit if I'm not invested in their relationships. I can enjoy all the pettiness of Luann feeling insulted by and not wanting to sleep in Dorinda's fish room, but these women jumped straight to sniping without ever making it nice.
  12. Wow, Taylor is the worst at sales. Did she even know what she was supposedly pitching to Leva? I'm rooting for Taylor to get her groove back, but she's still in the angry and betrayed phase. I hope she soon gets to the phase where she realizes she has to put down all this angst to move forward and meet someone better for her. Shep talking about how progressive it is for "girls" to want careers like it's a new thing was hilarious. As were his views on lust and love being different...well, yes, they are! Is he just now getting that? I think he's afraid no woman will love him as unconditionally as he loves himself, and he really doesn't want to change his lifestyle for anyone, nor answer to anyone. This thing with Taylor and Austen and Shep is messy. I'm not sure if the whole thing is fake or just some of it. I'm pretty sure Shep doesn't care about Taylor, and I don't think he cares about bro code, or he didn't when he slept with Katherine.
  13. I never know if it's someone saying, "yes, I am high maintenance, but my baseball cap says I'm down to earth and cool," or "yes, I did just throw on my fur and heels to run the store, doesn't everyone?" Could also be covering for a bad hair day.
  14. I think it's because it works as a "neutral" with pretty much any color kitchen. I'd like her kitchen floor better if it weren't peel-n-stick "tiles."
