YES! I would like to see a show featuring people more like Kim. I'm so tired of seeing black women act so ignorant on TV. Why can't God-fearing, educated women -- who don't apologize for not wanting to see people tithes and butt hanging out -- who have some humility (so that rules out the Potomac housewives) be featured on TV? Perhaps because someone would say, 'Oh that would be boring" Even one of the doctors on Married to Medicine has acted stupid with screaming/hollering and in your face neck-roll arguing. And, Kenya's props were never in Porsha's face or personal space. They were in front of Cynthia, not Porsha.

I gather most of the talk has been about Dubai, and I was struck by all that…the opulence -- and how , even in that setting -- the ladies can't stop (or drop) their bull shit conversations about you said what about whom and the circular discussions about….whatever…Kim, Brandi, LVP, Yolanda' disease, etc. Whatever they discuss…the topic never dies. But to be honest I was most stuck by the Yolanda Lyme Disease scenes. 1) I was struck by Kyle's developing awareness. But 2) something I've thought for awhile also just really cemented itself. Yolanda has been sick. OK, no doubt about that. But once again this episode showed her saying to David comments like: -- You married a lemon….this isn't what you signed up for…..I'm so sorry it's been like this I'll make it up to you…..you didn't think you'd end up being my doctor, etc. I know you have to thank a person when they take care of you and you may del like a burden ….BUT, BUT, HER comments are the kind that can undermine the other person's thoughts about the situation. I know she was sick…I know chronic illness messes with you mind, self esteem, etc. But for her to tell David he "married a lemon" "this isn't what you thought it would be,"I'm not who you thought you we're marrying, or that this isn't what he "signed up for" (first of all in MARRIAGE yes it IS what you sign up for, but people don't realize that…but that's another topic)…If you say those things.,…he MIGHT just start to wonder about that and think --uh you know what YOU'RE RIGHT…this ISN"T what I signed up for and you ARE a dud, and my life HAS been negatively affected…and I DO want out. I have know idea WHY Yolanda and David broke up. But I also don't see how telling him she was a lemon, and not what he signed up for didn't help. Negative comments never HELP a relationship. I think that IF, IF, she could have been more positive…which is hard to to…..MAYBE they wouldn't have broken up.

Please tell me Kenya isn't REALLY delusional. That she's just playing a part. When Kenya made the swallow comment to Andy…Kim should have said, excuse me Andy…remember what said about wondering what ever happened to "class." And she should do the same think when Kenya makes the dick in mouth comment to Porsha -- how disgusting. I wish Kim would stand by her beliefs even stronger than she does. Why not say…"no I don't think a person needs to walk around with their but and breasts hanging out." And no it's NOT classy for a 35 year old woman to sexually talk about her friend's son. Who does that..who thinks of their friends son teenage OR adult -- as eye candy? And if I'm the only one who thinks thats inappropriate and if that makes me judgmental. So be it." While I do wish she would set Kenya straight just a teeny weeny bit more…..I do like that by holding her peace she let's Kenya look bad.

Oh and all I could think of was while Kenya looked good as the grinch, and I loved her costume…..I just could n't have that makeup all over my face and body like that. My skin would be suffering underneath….I'd be so uncomfortable. I'd need daily facials for a week after that.

In no particular order: 1) Peter and Cynthia are so klutzy…He knocked over a glass and spilled water/wine when he set up some romantic lunch for them a few episodes ago…and now she knees him in the nuts during her massage. Instead of her leg being on the other side of his legs,,,,,she put her leg between his legs, so her knee was on his nuts. Cynthia is stupid. But then again he is , too. So they're dumb together. 2) love d Kenya's Grinch outfit. Just like in real life…when there's a party some people know how to come theme dressed (Phaedra, Bob, Kenya and Porsha)..and others just come in regular clothes (Kim, Sheree, Nene). I loved Bob's pimp Santa cape. Interesting how he's trying to get Sheree back. I wonder why. Perhaps he's not getting any, anywhere else? 3) No problem with the little people elves. It was a paid gig for them. One they didn't have to do. I though it was hysterical the Nene walked in and knew one of them. 4) Porsha at the doctors office. I didn't take her or the doctors comments for any more than was said. Clearly they still don't know about Porsha carrying a baby. They said it's a possibility. If people ready more into than that. That's on them. Anyone having a baby ought to have enough sense to know each person's situation is different. So go by what THEIR doctor says. Not some housewife on TV. 5) Loved Kim and chris' reaction with Porsha walked in. 6) Would have liked to have seen Dylan at the party. In general, I don't like it when one sibling, especially when they're close in age, is left out of certain events and experiences. Even if Phaedra couldn't take care of him because she was hosting, a babysitter could have still had him there, and if he got tired or fussy, then put him to bed. IF Ayden continues o be favored as they grow, I see some potential problems with that. Jealousy or envy among brothers is not a good thing to foster. And Pahedra is doing it already, and has been doing it for a while. 7) I think Tammy and the other "friend" whose name I forget…Amesha?, would have been great on this show. I love Tammy because she's direct. 8) Sooo looking forward to the reunion!!

i think she's setting Maggie up to BE killed at the house where she's staying. So David doesn't know Veronica's address, but Jim knew where to send the hit man to? Instead of running all over town why not just put Oscar on the case to find out? isn't her address in her arrest paperwork? And besides, is this her true "address" of record or is that still the family home. I'm sorry, I just can't take the plot holes on this show. So Ronnie moved out of the house with David because of fire repairs? or did she LEAVE him? "cause if this is just a house she's renting…..I'm sure she's had time to put in a state of the art video system so she can see who's in the house. And of course it just. so. happens. she can see right where the killer is sitting. And what are the chances that JIM calls to have a hit put on Ronnie -- and picks someone who knows Quincy's crowd? Why didn't he call the Malones again? Qunicy's sister shouldn't know anything about ANY of the hits. My attention was diverted….did Ronnie go around back TO MEET Quincy's sister? And the sister knew how and why to contact Ronnie how, exactly?? Doesn't everyone do their clandestine scheming the the parking lot of police headquarters?

Whether it's starting gate, or chutes or stalls…in the context that Yolanda was speaking if she or Erika had been able to come of with either one of those options, I'm sure they would have been fine and the point conveyed. We all draw a blank on a word at times. I was surprised Erika drew a blank. But sometimes it happens that neither person can recall the word. Kathryn was a bitch about ratting out Erika to Lisa VP. Is she for real? If you don't what something repeated don't say it. Some people would feel bad about throwing another person under a bus. But not Kathryn. But it's good lesson to learn how a person is early on. I hope it is Kathryn that Tom kicks out of the house. Bitch! I THINK I MIGHT have a crush on Harry Hamlin. And it seems that Erika Jayne is a mighty lucky woman as well. Ken you can keep. I'd love to know more about David Foster. I used to think he could be "difficult" but I could see him as still loving. He really seemed to love Yolanda, and I'm sure he did. But I have to admit multiple marriages does make me wary of his personality. Once you get past two marriages…SOMETHING must be up with the person's personality. I know it takes two to break up, but…well let's just say, as for personality and chemistry, he doesn't seem as easy to live with as Harry or Tim. I have to stop being so superficial. All I could think when I saw Mohamed was 1) how the hell did he get Yolanda…..and the man has toothpicks for legs -- and NO butt. I actually imagined him with no clothes on. Ugh! But money can sure help a person see past looks, can't it?

WHY was everyone on this show in the commercial? Why not -- you know -- cast a commercial with real actors. Oh, I don't know -- because this is a fake commercial. Where exactly is this commercial supposed to air? On her website or an app maybe. I haven't seen a commercial yet for ANY product line ANY of these shows' housewives have come up with.

I didn't even watch the finale. I hadn't realized how "done" I was with all these couples until finale night came, and I din't want to watch the finale. usually if there's any show I want to see, as part of any series it's the finale. Heck that's when you find out what finally happened. Whether it's a cliffhanger on a drama or season wrap-up on a show I have only half-watched I still want to tune in on the season finale. But not for these couples. I just didn't care enough. I did catch the last -- probably 2 minutes??? It was just in time to see that: -- Brandon and Craig on a sofa and the on-screen update said the surrogate had a miscarriage. -- Tara on a couple cam and the onscreen blurb saying Rob went to Thanksgiving at her family's and Tara is optimistic for all of their relationships. -- Ro with the pregnancy test and telling Rob she's pregnant, and on-screen saying their looking forward to being a power Trio. -- Adonis talking about how he doesn't know if ERika is really leaving him or if she'll be back and her driving off with some dumb-ass lost look on her face talking about how she needs to concentrate on what she wants. So when to we think this finales was filmed…I guess not one enough for Ro to have had the baby yet… I suppose these couple run the gamut of experiences and personalities, just like the real world. And for each season we've had at least one of the four couple get pregnant during the first year. I've never understood what the hell the rush is to have a kid and you haven't even been married that long -- you to gather. BUT now that I think of it. If you've been truly exclusive couple for 7 years, and married for one….you have been together EIGHT years…so I guess. That's not really as quickly as it seems in their life as a couple. Then again if a couple has been together for years…why are they still arguing over bull shit, insecure, ignorant as to their partner's personality and quirks? And as for it being a fake marriage. Who the hell would marry ADONIS for a fake marriage to be on TV? Anyone who would do that…needs more therapy than Erika who supposed actualy did supposedly love him. UGGHH.

The latest editing , I think, makes it look like Tom is talking to Kathryn, when he says "you have to leave." We'll see for sure soon…... I can't imagine how heated the conversation gets…or how rude or insulting he must feel someone was to Erika for him to get up and say that in that tone. I can't imagine he'd just jump to do that. Most hosts I know, are slow to do that….and it's a last resort. From the little I've seen of Tom he's been easy going. He seems the type that would let you talk back to HIM, longer than he'd let you disrespect Erika. Of course he knows Erika can hold her own…but he loves her and he's not going to let anyone go too far -- and CERTAINLY not sitting at their own table. But we don't even know what his comment is even about so we'll see.

Maybe it's my bias -- but how in the hell -- and where in the hell would the social worker get even just a $100,000 loan -- from anywhere. Unless you already have a HELOC in place, or some high credit card limits….. Banks don't just OK 100K loans just like that. I'm just sick of Candace (and Ronnie but I'll get to that later) I can't forgive or forget that Candace had no reason to even believe the social worker was in on it.! The trial scene….. Jim being denied bail, and Ronnie making bail….how been there done that. I WISH TYLER PERRY WOULD NOW LET KATHRYN BE THE NEW BITCH BECAUSE I'M SICK OF VERONICA'S SIDE EYE. That look is reason enough for her to be killed off. I'm soooo ready for Kathryn and David -- AND JEFFERY -- to be the ones to watch out for !! Although I think TP would eff that up too.

Uh, a 500-THOUSAND dollar loan from her credit union? Heck even a 100-thousand dollar loan?…. Lord ha' mercy. So Candace fell for the old "I don't know how to get ahold of him routine." Which may be true. But it's SUCH a tired and trite plot device. Oh I see in the coming scenes Jeffrey ends up in jail with the freaking homophobic (gay?) cop. Really, TP?

I didn't see all of last week's show, in sticking with my pledge not to watch entire episodes until the finale. So I take it the social worker said she was in on it so as to be able to get out of there….so it could have been a lie. Which leads me to ask, once she got out why wouldn't she do to the police. (please don't say be cause she's Sooo scared of Candace. Heck she's a government worker, assaulted for carrying out her duty. Once the place got Candace they'd throe her under the jail. My other question was once the Social Worker said she was in on it. Did Candace say well call him right her and now. Why let her go to give her the chance to go to the police without knowing for sure she was telling the truth. (please don't' tell me the woman said she didn't know how to get ahold of him.) I did see about the last 1/2 of the episode: -- Jim not getting bail, Ronnie getting bail -- The DA talking to the bank manager, Wyatt in the hotel with the computer guy and drugs -- The David/Hannah confab in the Cryer kitchen -- Candace and her friend talk about War's crimes, Candace wondering if she's blown in and her mom was right -- David and Bennie's fight, then David walking out when he hears Ronnie made bail. Is. ANYONE. else. sick of Kathryn's empty you'll feel my wrath dialog. She's been talking her bullshit for three seasons and I haven't seen her do squat. It's tired already. I DO like Bennie's tough talk. He might be too dumb and out of the loop to back it up. But comparing his threats to Kathryn's -- Kat rings hollow. Iv'e just heard it all too many times before…with no action to back it up.

I know it's a fine line. But i also know how all the people on this show twist a comment into something another person technically didn't say. I wasn't there so I only know what Ericka SAYS Adonis said. And given their crazy communication history I could see them having a discussion and Adonis saying something like, "see, babe, i COULD sleep with her, and her, and her, or even her….BUT I'm getting married to you." And Ekrika HEARING that he said he WANTED to sleep with them. Now if they were normal they wouldn't be having ANY discussion that's anywhere near what I suggested or what Erika says he said. But these two aren't normal. I'm not giving Adonis a pass, by any means. But I also don't trust that Erika heard what he said, and didn't twist it. Adonis is in enough hot water….but still no need twist what he said, into something he technically didn't say. Erika is just pi.ti.ful. Pitiful.

I couldn't be Erika's therapist. I don't coddle people. I'd go straight to…"Are you crazy!!!? What the hell is wrong the YOU, that you take that mess? And don't give me that I don't know, I must be insecure crap.

1) Yeah, I know what happened to Ro's fashion career. When she said her job was a start-up tech company…I immediately thought…"Whoa, that's not fashion. What happen to the great fashion career you wanted?" And Rob and his music career….He wants to produce or perform? Is he willing for law to be his MAIN career, but in Tampa where there's less pressure…so he can have more time and energy to do his music on the side? Or he wants a music gig in Tampa? 2) I am NOT as in love with Brandon and Craig as some people are. I'm never attracted to people with insecurities. And they each have plenty of those. Brandon thinks he's ugly and won't show signs of affection in public. Craig won't show affection in front of his family, and is immature. And every time Brandon says he' want's to talk…Craig asks, "Is it about a divorce" and he did it AGAIN this week. Stop it with that. Every damn time they talk, Craig asks is it over…or do you want to leave…or do you mean a divorce. Grow the hell up. Neediness is sooo UNattractive. 3) Rob and Tara - I don't know what to say. She's full of $#it and the both need therapy. At least they're off the market so someone else, someone NICE, won't get stuck with one of them. 4) Adonis and Erika……THIS is the couple that sort of made me notice the timeline that's put on the screen of how long everyone's been married. And everyone is around the 10 months mark. They're at 9 months and change. So for NINE MONTHS she's been married to this guy-- and NOW she's asking certain questions?? I REALLY, REALLY want to see MORE of how their interactions and daily routines have been as a couple when cameras are NOT there. When you think about it, next week is the finale…..and we really HAVE NOT SEEN that much of these couple's lives, not really. What we've seen has sort of been Isolated moments. Maybe it's the scenes that were chosen for air, or how the show has been edited this time…but I really don't get the sense that's it's been a year, or that we've learned THAT MUCH about their lives as a COUPLE. How DO they treat each other day-to-day. What ARE some of their day-to-day routines? Not that we haven't seen ANY of that, but I don't feel those quick isolated moments have really conveyed much. Especially with Erika and Adonis I'd like to see more….because I'm wondering why she's asking herself all this questions about happiness NOW?I know she said she's never been able to shake what he did and said on the wedding day. but if she hasn't shaken that off in 9 months. I think it's also because clearly Adonis isn't making her feel secure in the relationship. (which isn't new either.)

Ooooh…what do we know about what prompts Erika's husband Tom to tell one of the ladies -- was it Lisa Vandepump or Kathryn -- to get out of their house. We've seen quick teasers in the promos. But I don't really know what I saw…..He stood up and sure looked serious. Also, a couple of shows ago I LIKED that Lisa and Ken…and Erika and Tom…had dinner together. But Ken looked soooo disengaged. His facial expression the entire time looked like he actually was disgusted to even have to be there, like he had some personally dislike for the Girardis. I remember thinking damn Ken what up with that?

I still love me some Erika. And it's interesting -- but maybe just real life that most of the women -- have some of the trait themselves -- that they don't like in the other women. Shit-stirrer: Lisa R, Kyle, LVP have done it. And now Kathryn has done it. She didn't let Erika get it out of her mouth before Kathryn was re-telling it And, I would NOT call what Erika did and has done (the warning about LVP and letting Yo know what was being said) shit stirring -- not necessarily…. You know what Let me stop….It just occurred to me….the problem is. THESE WOMEN DON"T KNOW WHEN TO RUN AND TELL THAT…AND WHEN NOT TO RUN AND TELL! There's a time TO do it, and there are times when NOT to. It seems they're not consistent as to when they gossip or tattletale and when they don't. That's what gets me. Also, Lisa Rinna made WAY too much of what Yo said about Yo not conjecturing about Lisa being bipolar because of the glass throwing in Holland. Lisa honey sweetie pie, Yolanda did NOT throw it out there that you could be bipolar --like you did with her and the Munchaussen's. Yo said that after the glass throwing she COULD have wondered about you being bipolar. She wasn't saying that as a threat you IDIOT…she was saying it to point out that when you acted a certain way she didn't conjecture about you….the way you did about her. I love Lisa Rinna some times. But I can see her being the kind of friend I'd also have to set straight every now and then.

Rob/Ro -- If he knew she had the interview…why didn't he know she might take the job if offered….Uh, wouldn't that be part of a normal conversation. Let's even say there's there's only a week between applying and the interview…. even if a spouse doesn't know if they'll take the job…wouldn't they convey that at SOME point during the week. After they've thought about it. "Uh, that job interview I've got on Tuesday?…I THINK I want it but I'm not sure." The discussion flows from there and is whatever it is So, OK so she comes home and says she took the gig. Is that a reason to get bent out of shape. You knew she might. So she did…….. Whatevah!

Yes, I get that but -- I thought she thought David was behind hit….and the social worker was doing her job. She had no vested interest other than that. So is the social works supposed to be so scared of Candace that she won't say who beat her to a pulp? I guess we'll have to see if she legitimately can't' remember what happened -- or just says she can't. Like I said, I'm done until season finale time. So I know when to come back…how many more episodes until then.

OK I’m sooo back to being done. Will likely just follow comments here until the season finale. -- I though Candace suspected Oscar was put up to it by Harrington or Cryer – so why would she think the social worker -- of all people -- would know anything about Oscar?? Especially since she was just threatened by War and was telling the truth when she said she didn’t have the money...why wouldn’t she think the Social worker would be telling the truth about not know ing anything about Oscar...again –why WOULD she know? -- It’s season 3 and now all of a sudden we find out there’s some bad girl – who’s so ride-or-die with Candace that she’s willing to assault a city or county social worker?? Unless they kill her can’t she just say who beat her up? -- Hannah sure knows her Bible verse, doesn’t she? I’ve I had 100K for every time she or Wyatt said “you know” or “I don’t know” I could retire early.

HH, and HHI are known for being fake, or should I say having aspects of the show made up….. -- The house hunters have already picked their house…so the search is faked. -- The "realtors" -- may not even be realtors at all -- let alone their realtor. -- At least on HHI -- the plot line of WHY and WHEN the person moved to the country is made up, or 'changed' from the truth (the couples may not be a couple; the person may have lived in the country for years, not just moved there; the realtor likely isn't a realtor at all) So as for TINY House Hunters…I totally expect most of what I see isn't true. And I think it's a shame…because so so totally unnecessary.

Watching an episode now….a young woman (student) wants a "house" that's 100 sf feet. That's not a house that's a ROOM! I mean really…... 100 sq ft? I don't care if many of the homes being two levels once you count loft space….it's a room. Crazy people always have to take the good idea -- of downsizing -- to the ridiculous and the extreme. Anyone see the episode with the Florida couple with two different gender kids (7-year-old boy and 4 year-old girl) -- who bought the shipping container house? For god's sake the kids didn't have anywhere to sleep….and there was only the BATHROOM sink which she used for food prep. That can be down rich unsanitary. I know it's judgmental to say it…but these people are not right in the head. I've noticed just the opposite…in all of the shows I've seen, no has said anything at all about having people over. So my question was going to be ----do they ever plan to have anyone over?….WHERE would the person sleep? On the damned floor? In the show with the family with kids…. there was no room for THEM to sleep -- and the mom was washing and prepping food in the effing bathroom for goodness sake. Who the hell would WANT to go over there….where would you sit to eat the bathroom prepped food?

OK, so what was the big news that on Jan 31, Marcus said was coming? (IF it's news that the guy that had the temper -- and maybe couple of other of the guys are out….so what. That should have been done before. IF it's that they've got x number of people sign-ed up to franchise, that wouldn't be big news either. IMO Not hardly. So what was it? Anyone know? I love how people use Twitter to build hyp. And there's no THERE, there. Emperor's New Clothes.

1) So we're supposed to believe the Aussie in Five Day Flip manages to get all her work done (including all inspections), including but not limited to: -- complete kitchen and bath gut jobs -- changing a stove from electric to gas -- changing flooring -- complete paint job (that alone should be one day) Even if you have an inspector come out on day three, if it's for anything inside the walls. You still have to dry wall after that, AND do all remaining work. All in five days. Yeah right. Then again, these shows are about fake drama. For some reason producers think the audience is stupid, and that the shows HAVE to have the "Oh, my. I don't know if we'll make this deadline" and "we may not finish on time: nonsense. Why is there a time element AT ALL? Just do the flip, count the days, and how long it takes is how long it takes. WHY does it have to be "5 day flip" with most of the show being about the deadline? But then again we know even if they DID call it "10 day Flip…it would STILL be all about fretting about the timeline. The show wouldn't be the show and it wouldn't be REALITY TV -- if it didn't set an UNrealistic deadline. 2) In terms of all flipping shows I find it interesting that for TV anyway, none of them are the 'lipstick on a pig" types. None of them want to spend any money. Yet they mostly tend to want to 'go high end.' And have 'a designer' look. (whatever that means) Can anyone think of which shows are really the 'quick and dirty get-er done' type flips? There was a show "Designed to Sell" but it wasn't a flipping show.
