A minor point in the greater scheme of things: it grates that people consistently mispronounce Parvati's name as "Poverty." Even my closed captioning is now getting in on the action!

I have the same issue, and I'm shocked that nobody's watching this. It is objectively so, so good! I was just talking to someone who said that in the UK everyone watched The Traitors, since it's on network TV, but here... tragically confined to the sad garret of Peacock. :(

I really, really wanted to have an open mind about this "Celebration of Life" and its inclusion as part of an episode of Real Housewives. I believe that Kyle was feeling real, raw grief about her friend's death -- it doesn't matter that it was a year later. The fact that Lorene's family was seemingly involved made this event feel somewhat better. I could see the reasoning that RHW is a platform, and that including this on the show, along with the information for NAMI, could potentially help others who are struggling. So, I see all of that.
But then.... Morgan Wade got up on stage and... played a song about sex??? What the WHAT.

Anytime Garcelle expresses her feelings, Dorit is the first one to take offense and hop up on the cross. Not sure why, but they’ve never liked each other. They’ll always be each other’s ’bitch eating crackers…’
I do wonder how much of the friction between Dorit and Garcelle stems from political differences that we don't see on the show. Obviously I'm not going to speculate about the details, as that's beyond the scope of what's allowed here, but I can think of several contemporary political issues on which Garcelle and Dorit might not be aligned. (I was just thinking of this because I suspect that something similar might be happening with Heather and Lisa on RHOSLC).

I wish we knew better why Garcelle just doesn't like Dorit.
I mean, to be fair... do any of us like Dorit?

What gets me is that Dorit thinks Garcelle owes her an explanation. Garcelle had every right to walk the fuck out of there.
What gets ME is that even if Dorit thinks she’s 100% in the right (which: YIIIIKES!) does she not even understand the OPTICS of a white woman turning around and claiming victimhood when a Black woman calmly tries to educate her about a micro aggression in 2023???
Is she really that stupid?

I’d agree fully with that, except for the fact that Denise was quietly sitting minding her own business, when it was Dorit who started it all up again, throwing her under the bus to take the heat of the moment off of herself. I just wish Denise didn’t take that obvious bait. She could have waved Dorito off and told her to keep her baiting to herself and mind her own business.
Denise probably did not get the closure she wanted from the night where she wore her coat upside down because she was too inebriated to remember that Erica gave her an apology that night…. And thats on her.I’d have to rewatch to be sure, but I thought Denise told Garcelle in the car ride over that she planned to talk to Erika? Garcelle had mentioned that Erika didn’t know what she had apologized for (so, Denise definitely knew she apologized), and Denise said she wanted to clarify or something like that. (Why, girl, WHYY?) Believe me, I’d love to blame Dorit for this, as I loathe this woman, but it seemed like this was set to go down that night, regardless of who brought it up.

Is Denise a moron?Right?! I know Denise is a fan favorite, but I don’t know what she expected to happen when she came back and dredged up tired shit from three years ago with Erika. The fact that Erika not only let it go at Kyle’s dinner party but even apologized was a GIFT HORSE that Denise looked squarely in the mouth. So then for Denise to come back and try AGAIN?? Girl. I fully agree that kids should be off limits but Denise’s kid is an adult now and *Denise* is the one who keeps bringing the topic of her kids back into conversation. Erika was vicious, and is an asshole, but I have zero sympathy for Denise here.

Erika Jayne out there calmly and eloquently explaining the landscape of racial privilege was more of a surprise than Sutton having made out with her driver!

Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.
Shit.
As I catch up on this season, I do think there are things to like about Kyle. She seems like a really good, caring mom. I think there's a genuine heart beating in there beneath all of the silicone and Botox. I feel for her because she got dealt a shit hand with her childhood. And it's really hard to watch her this season because she seems to be genuinely going through some sort of mental crisis, and I don't like to see anybody in pain.
But, my God, she is SUCH an unapologetic Mean Girl.

Larsa looks like she was "improved" and then encased in plastic. Sandra looks like a real person.
I don't know anything about Sandra, but I freaking love how no-frills she is when it comes to her appearance on TV.

Dan has obviously never watched the real housewives. If he did he would know that some of them are cut throat and cunning,especially Phaedra.
See, I think he does know that! He and Parvati were both talking about how Phaedra is ultimately a threat to them because she'll never be found out.

And then she had the nerve to be all mad that folks had gotten it wrong with the vote. You don't really get to complain about the vote if you're just going to throw away your vote!

Whoever came up with the idea to put these drama reality show stars and competitive reality stars together to play this game deserves a raise.
So true but, for me, Alan Cumming is the essential ingredient!

I would like to see a spinoff series with CT and Phaedra -- perhaps on a road trip, perhaps solving crimes together, perhaps learning new skills.
Please please, reality TV gods, make this happen.

Man, I’m so conflicted that Bananas is gone. I stopped watching The Challenge because of him, but considering that he’s basically a career Challenger (kinda pathetic IMO), I think he knows he’s evil and devious and could totally pick out the traitors. Smart call (or luck?) from the traitors, but also karma on Bananas lol. Phaedra just wants Bananas and CT around to um, observe, their physical gameplay.
I'm so conflicted because, while I really dislike CT, I have realized I would be eager to watch an entire show that's just him and Phaedra discussing various topics.

But shouldn’t he know better to just sit back and be quiet…? I have no doubt Phaedra has what it takes to win, plus she’s an attorney which I believe is an asset.
I also knew nothing about Dan coming in (I don't watch Big Brother) but I find him very likeable and charming. It's fun to see how genuinely excited he is about being chosen as a traitor, and the show as a whole. That said, from what we're being shown, Phaedra's doing a much better job! And maybe that's unfair, because folks are just generally less likely to suspect Phaedra than Dan, so it's easier for her to fly under the radar, but...still. She is killin' it! (Pun intended)

So, not the most exciting season, but it definitely confirmed for me that I would tune in to watch these particular women read the phone book.

It was enlightening to learn that Kody has trying *not* to be an asshole all of these years.

Working my way through the latest season now and all I have to say is at least Kody’s de facto monogamy with Robyn means this show isn’t Sisterhood of the Traveling Coldsore anymore.
Also, Jenelle! You have options! Write a tell-all book and do some cameos. Get a desk job again if you have to. All is not lost. Girl, wash your face!

I always like a "cheat sheet" article. Here is a good recent one that mines social media accounts for current pictures and has some general information about each one of the Brown children: https://www.insider.com/sister-wives-kody-brown-kids-2023-8
I realize I am so, so late to the party, but what's this about Paedon insinuating that Meri abused them as kids???

I don’t think she did. The way Christine told the story, the kids were in a group chat and talked about doing the gift exchange. Evidently everyone was on board. One of Janelle’s boys (I think) said “great - let’s tell the parents.” When they told the parents, that’s when Robyn said “let’s have a video chat.” There was no reason to do that as far as I could tell and Kody said he planned to ignore the whole subject altogether… until it went south.
I don’t think that Robyn should have said anything other than “fantastic, have fun.” But ito be fair, she was brought into the conversation along with the other parents by the kids.
Yeah, I wonder if the parents were brought in because the little kids were also going to be included - in which case it makes sense to involve Robyn because she'd essentially have to be a proxy for her young children in the exchange. She handled it in an idiotic way though! A zoom meeting? Wtf? Just assign an adult to randomly select the select the pairings, decide on a $ maximum, and that's it! This is not brain surgery or anything that requires extensive discussion.
The other thing that's interesting to me is that Robyn's older kids actually were included on the original group text. They were not excluded.

Right? Why does she stick around? I have no idea if she left or not in real time, but did she really think her and kody would rekindle the relationship? The Thanksgiving did look terribly boring.
I really hope the reason Meri stuck around so long was for the paycheck. She's not legally married to Kody and her kid is an adult, so she's able to live a mostly separate life somewhere else, come back occasionally to film some scenes and do some talking heads, and collect cash for it. Heck, I'd be tempted...

S02.E07: Blood on Their Hands
in The Traitors (USA)
PLEASE murder Trishelle.
CT has *always* seemed… not quite right.
