It must be because I noticed that Toya and the two event planners were all barefoot as they were walking in. It's one of those things that I try to pay attention to in HWs land. Seems most people are NOT barefoot homes.

One thing that I noted last night on rewatch was that prior to King making a move towards Greg, there was a point where King was being held back by two guys (I think the football player and someone else) and Greg stalks over to them while they are holding him. It was before King rushed Greg because he still had his shirt on. So, under streetfighting rules, if you approach someone aggressively when your boys are holding them, you should expect a proportional response if your boys let go. Greg started something that his little ass couldn't finish. He's used to fighting with women and bulldozing folks, but he probably hasn't had to back up his slick mouth in years.

It's not weird to me. Big houses come with responsibilities - keeping track of the landscapers, the pool guy, deliveries, utilities, making sure the cameras and alarm system don't go off when the dogs go out, feeding and walking the dogs etc. (Ex-) Husbands move out, move into a 3-4 room apartment, hire a cleaning lady and get Doordash and it's like they are back in college, footloose and fancy free. F*(% that...I'd be out of the door with my overnight bag and let Mauricio have all the rest of it to deal with. No way we are breaking up AND you are getting to relive your mis-spent youth while I'm chauffeuring pre-teens, cleaning up cat vomit and arguing with the gardener about whether the grass should be cut once or twice a month. The problem is that all of these ladies are so afraid of the optics. No one wants to go from 50k sq ft to a one- or two-bedroom apartment. Think about how mercilessly HWs get clowned for divorcing and moving into a townhouse or apartment. On Bravo, that is literally a fate worse than death.

I get that you don't like Heavenly. Do you know her IRL, because saying things like she's a roach and an idiot seem to be beyond just hate watching? It seems every comment has a really negative reference to her that feels like it's something more than just not liking her behavior on the show.

It's actually not a horrible solution when the family is breaking up and there is no DV. It allows for the children to have greater access to both parents, and less disruption in their day-to-day lives. There is no back and forth, no leaving clothes or homework or equipment at one home or the other. The parents need to be mature enough to not make the situation untenable, but I've seen it work before. I know a family where the parents decided to split, and the dad ended up living in the lower level of the family home from the time the child was 5 until she turned 14. At that point she could self-transport to see him, and he moved to an apartment about 1/2 mile away.

That still totals out to north of $10k per ticket, and you have to wait for someone else who may be flying to the same location to fill a jet.

There is something truly weird about Dave and his family. How does a 30-something man rely so deeply on his older sister to make decisions for him? How does anything post-pod he's said about his dating life ("My sister said she'd have introduced me to someone if I was looking...") square with his opening comments about his lack of success because he's only dated for superficial reasons? Why is he so comfortable using his sister, dad and mom as the reason that he won't move forward? Who does that at his big age? Why are you running around polling everyone about who they slept with and when?

There was just a TikTok of T-Pain (a rapper/songwriter/producer) flying commercial from Atl to Vegas. He is on the plane, responding to folks who are clowning him about not flying private showing that the PJ for that flight is $126k dollars. My guess is that Sutton's GA to CA flight probably has a similar cost. She's wealthy, but not stupid. She's not spending $126k to fly her mama cross country when she can have her fly first class commercial for 1/20th of the cost. Remember that Garcelle and Kyle complained that the three of them flew commercial when they went to visit. $4k first class tickets will get you there just the same.

Andy tried several times to give her an out. Both on the reunion and on WWHL, he tried to say "Often HWs will cover things like plane tickets for husbands or BFs to fly to places since they are not paid for their appearance. Did you owe him money for things like that?" Stacey was adamant that she neither promised or owed any money. My guess is that TJ was being super shady and attempting to hurt Stacey directly for what he sees as a "bad edit" which is mostly about the fact that he does a really bad job pretending to be a good boyfriend. Stacey doesn't read as trying to manage her "story" the way a Kenya or Mia did, so I'm taking her at face value that she didn't try to do anything and this is all TJ being TJ.

Raya is exclusively for people in the entertainment industry. You have to have some kind of bona fides to be granted membership. My guess is she qualifies because she is a country's pageant winner. It's not a sugar daddy site (although that may be going on there) and the average 20-something isn't getting access to Raya. And yes, there are 20-year-old guys on Raya as well.

I wonder if Whitney was scouting on Raya for this storyline. It's a little strange that he would reach out to this girl, then just randomly Shep would contact the same girl, especially when neither of them has ever shown that Sienna is their "type".

In his defense, this was 2024 when everybody had eggs 😝😒😪

I thought he met her on Raya.

My dad would have said she was "striking" - there is something that draws your eyes to her and keeps your attention, but it isn't that she's universally "pretty" (whatever that means).

I don't know if it can ever go back. The first few seasons were all about the "old families" of Charleston. Craig was positioned as the college transplant who never moved back, and Cameron and the mohawk girl were there to provide the "new Charleston vs. old Charleston" tensions. None of those things exist anymore. They don't want to touch the old families with a ten-foot pole, not since Thomas' dad came on and said he won't carry a $5 bill in his wallet since it has a picture of Abraham Lincoln on it. And most of the cast are now like Craig, decidedly middle-class folks who want to be famous and are trying to figure out how to monetize this platform. Hell, Bravo has actually edited some of the earlier seasons to cut out some pretty tone-deaf comments on how all those "old families" came to be and what exactly they got their wealth from.
