I would have more to say, but I cannot see the damned TV screen half the time. Too dark. So I need an explanation please: how did June knock off the stalker boyfriend?

Once again Erika reveals how stupid she is. Women GAIN weight after menopause, dumbass. Also, I'm reading health news stories that say some of these drugs seriously affect gastro systems in older patients.

That was the 3rd time they had the actor carefully draped in an open robe and artfully placed to show the goods. It looks like someone took a dump in his drawers. Very bizarre and crass to frame him this way. His performance is a bit too snarly cartoonish for me. I do like the actress in the role. I've only seen Adelaide Clemens in fresh-faced, innocent roles (Rectify and Under the Banner of Heaven). Sandy takes some getting used to.

That was probably scripted, as much of Gary's behavior on BD is also scripted. He's being promoted as a Lothario in order to create drama on BD. Anna went along with it.

She's clearly there just to push her "leather" brand. She understands she probably won't win. I think she feels great contempt for the asinine judges. And the tackiness of it all.

I liked the first episode. Gorgeous camera work, talented actors, good script, just enough suspense. Looking forward to the unfolding of the mystery. Did the dog survive the fire?

I wonder if Laura knows she is destined to be fired, and doesn't give a rat's ass. The obnoxious chef from the previous season claimed post-show that he was only supposed to film for a few weeks and that he was supposed to be a baddie who was scripted to get fired. When they kept him longer he really leaned into being a bad guy.

Production and crew aren't even trying to pretend this is a luxury environment that requires attention to detail, hard work, etc. Ironically, the supposedly scintillating drama of drunks and hooking up makes for boring TV. I'm FFing through most of it. One thing that interests me is that Aesha will probably not make the same mistake as the chief stew on BD Sailing Yacht - canoodling with two crew and having them plus captain treat her like crap while she drunkenly cries and rages in frustration. She walked right into production's trap. Aesha's learned to be smarter than that.

As I watched I wondered if Meko was so frustrated with the reality-TV shenanigans that she willfully began to resist. Also, I guess she's an introvert and struggled to absorb the tsunami of criticism in a timely way. The critics' weirdly robotic comments sounded as if they were generated by AI. I lost respect for all of the producers for willingly setting up a women of color to fail publicly while they cashed big checks. I wonder what the rest of the community thinks about this.

I'm pretty sure Chris is signaling animosity to Monique. Trying to upset her through social media and her sworn enemy. Perhaps he should reach out to his pastor and get a remedial course in Christian humility.

I've heard of Continental American - refers to the continent of North America.

With the end of the pandemic, maybe the great yachts are booked solid with real customers and don't need BD's money any more.

There's a blast from the past. I know why production chose this old Japanese tanker. It won't matter if the inept crew destroys it. Their lack of experience is notable. I noticed green-screened images in these episodes. Has BD been doing this all along? Maybe I'm noticing because they are so obvious now. Aesha made a rare mistake in telling the guests "I would never put ice in a red." Don't correct the guests! I guess production's schtick for Aesha is at least one obnoxious crew member to torment her each season. The traditional can-can is extremely difficult - non-stop hopping, high kicks that reach a dancer's nose, and jump-splits at the end. All at a frantic pace. The chef is too try-hard with her continuous lecherous comments about Captain. Toothy Culver is tiresome. He's only there to perform and eat. I noticed as the deck crew was scrambling to handle lines, he darted about the deck, waving his arms, pretending to help. Like I used to do when they made me play basketball in middle school.

It's what he angled for all along. It sure wasn't work ethic (the last time we saw him).

I think you're right about this. It's expensive for production to shoot underwater.

Perfect description. With the housewives shows struggling to survive, the BD franchise is Bravo's money-maker.

She really is. Too many scriptwriters and actors are settling for flavor-of-the-week catch phrases and acting choices, and Buteau does it differently, and better. She has the benefit of being intimately familiar with the show, which helps, but she never misses those funny little beats and comedic timing.

I do remember Jon saying that, but I believe he had other ways to identify Collin's location. For starters, he could have made a lot of noise on social media, gotten the word out, just pushed it until he put Kate in the spotlight and got some answers. I'm assuming he still had parental rights, which are different than custody rights. Why didn't he petition a court, contact child social services? I would never stop were that my child.

Kara Saun's was ill-fitting and messy. Rami was robbed.

Yes. He agreed to give up custody in exchange for not paying child support. Then, he made no true efforts to find Collin. Father of the Year.

I think she singled out Collin because he reminded her of Jon. The environment these parents provided was a Petri dish for growing mental illness in their children. Collin is simply the first to display it publicly (his anger and so on). He needs to process what has happened to him with a great therapist, then move on and create his own loving and supportive family/community, whatever that may be.

I love filmmaking so I binged over several days. Despite Issa stating otherwise, this is a reality TV show, not a documentary. I was so excited, especially after the nasty last season of the original PG, but I'm very disappointed. It felt like an exercise in brand promotion for Issa and her two other "mentors." I don't see how the movie, now streaming on MAX, will generate any income other than whatever big salaries certain folks received (13 executive producers), and exposure for them. There was so much promotion about providing opportunity for the chosen director, Meko, yet several of the producers criticized her at length in most of the episodes. They handed her an impossible task (low budget, little time), then sniped at her difficulties on every talking head. I realized the sniping was to generate reality-TV drama. Eventually one of Issa's senior staff had to gather producers together and claim that all of the critical guidance given to Meko was not "for the show," meaning reality TV drama. Also, they spoke endlessly of the script's flaws and Meko's flawed performance, yet no one actually stepped in to help her in a meaningful way (that we saw). Just lots and lots of "notes." The exceptions were Gina Prince-Bythewood (director of The Woman King) and one of the other producers. Which do you want? A successful film or reality TV drama? Love the concept of providing opportunities for people of color, which they emphasized repeatedly. Hated the execution. All of the final director candidates were women of color except two White women who felt like tokens. One was an emotional mother of a newborn, and funny, who gave interesting comments. The other as TVBitch mentioned was a sloppy idiot. Why not just limit the search to women of color?

I think Daisy's distress is 1) being called out by Glenn for poor performance on camera and 2) she thought the storyline would go one way and it went another. Also, she was drunk. I watched her knock back the wine non-stop. She sent mixed signals to Gary in order to support the triangle storyline. Now she feels blindsided by the Misogyny Trio; she thought they had a plan for the season and they turned on her and humiliated her. I think they will all return because the Bravo money, and other opportunities, are too good to turn down.

She's meant to duplicate the previous Eastern European stew who was lazy and spent all of her time on the phone, then made excuses. Love this.

During the season, there were several scenes where he was laughing and agreeing with Gary (and I think Colin) about Daisy. It's clear that Glenn and Gary have a deep friendship, and it interferes with Glenn's ability to be objective, despite his oily attempts at diplomacy.
