QQQQ

Is anyone else having a hard time with the audio quality of the show? (And I don't mean the bank scene.)

Not much happened, but any episode that's 75% Kyle-free gets a 👍 from me.

She also sounds like she's impersonating a Molly Shannon character. Kind of breathless, sexy?

I think Garcelle is following in the footsteps of HWs who start out as low-drama, voice-of-reason types. They become smug know-it-alls, adding their 2 cents to situations that don't involve them. See Emily (Orange Co.) and Caroline (New Jersey).

I'm bored with Kyle vs. Dorit, Kyle vs. Kathy, Kyle vs. Sutton, Kyle vs. Lisa ... Lather, rinse, repeat.

Sai grew up in poverty. She moved out on her own when she was 16.

And if she is going to jump in, she should try to be more clear. I thought she was backing Dorit 😂

Oceanside:

I'll preface this by saying I find both John and Alexis to be horrible human beings. But... if the situation were reversed and a group of househusbands were sitting around (basically) consoling John with "maybe you did hit Shannon but you were drinking..." viewers would go ballistic. And we know a high percent domestic violence victims don't file reports, so using that to question the situation is weak. We don't know what happened but this final scene did not sit well with me.

There really isn't enough variation from episode to episode to make me feel invested in the show.

Emily really fancies herself to be Dr. Phil. Alexis's dress is neither attractive nor flattering (her midsection looked really bloated).

Spreading a rumor that isn't true when viewers aren't invested enough to care if the rumor IS true is just so... sad.

If Emily didn't shit stir and play both sides, I'm not sure her lame storyline of feeling fat-shamed at Heather's "fashion show" would merit her returning next year. Ever since Gina has found her own voice, Emily has been less valuable to the show.

I loved Erin and Sara in Barely Famous (about 10 years ago).

Remember a few seasons ago when Heather threatened whichever HW brought up Miss Terry being sued for malpractice? Yet it's fine for her to gossip about alleged legal issues of the other HW's significant others. An over reliance on enemas can result in long-term constipation issues.
