Censure is just a written reprimand. Basically it's the lowest form of sanction for an ethics violation. What Bill did in the real world would be punished much more severely. Hayley's getting on my nerves. They need to figure her out. Is she the innocent doe in headlights trying to get her friendships back and be accepted, or does she want to be a schemer and master manipulator like Bill? If she's actually meant be two-faced, the writing and acting for that character need to sharpen up. After all the hype, I really wanted Kat and Chelsea's bag to be something. Instead it looked exactly like my everyday handbag. (Mine is a Kate Spade; it's cute, but it's not going to be a moment in a fashion show.) I find myself checking out any time we're at the hospital or the police station, but I am interested in what's happening with Vanessa, Doug, and Joey. I know they recast Ted, but still, between Joey's casino henchman, Jacob, and Andre, there are too many square-jawed, brown-skinned men with fades and beards for me to keep straight. Team Dani. I really liked all her scenes with Chelsea.

I think when all this happened IRL, Kenya told production she was threatened. She was saying something like that when she was in the car with Porsha at the end of the episode. (And it makes total sense why she would be because that lady is *nuts*.) Bravo said they investigated and found no threats made. But then they showed us the threats on TV, so ... ? Between Housewives, Top Chef, and Below Deck though, they have a terrible track record in these matters, so why should I be surprised. Angela's place looks cool; I can see ATL folks flocking somewhere like that. And Porsha and Kenya were a vibe at the dinner. It made me sad to think we won't get a season of them being cool with each other. I'll hold any other thoughts on that until I see what Kenya actually did. In other news, Shamea and Drew both have good voices, but RL turned out a better tune than the hot dog man. People online think it sounded dated, and when she was playing it by the pool I said it sounded like something Nicole Wray put out in 1998. But that's my era so I liked it.

I'm just catching up, but that's the reason Brit got into the insurance game? Your mother got scammed, so next time you want to be the scammer? Girl, I guess.

Oh no, that's sad. Not Change.org! I didn't really mind the actor in that role. He wasn't great, but there are far worse performances I would've dealt with. For instance, Leslie's actress. I know the character is meant to be over the top, but the actress is sitting down to a fresh ham buffet for every scene. It's too much for me. Kat is a little too slick when she talks to Eva, but I don't mind her not trusting Eva. She ain't trustworthy. And Kat has seen her snooping around acting suspicious with no excuse more than once. I didn't like the spy camera hijinks though. The Kat we've seen so far is too smart to have the camera basically out in the open, and she would've shown her parents the incriminating footage as soon as she got it. I hope we get coutroom scenes, because I know they'll be comedy. Naomi obviously has the facts (and the law) on her side, but I want to see what Beyond the Gates will do with this.

I'm ashamed it took me until the end of week 3 to realize the scheming young woman with a hidden agenda, ingratiating herself to everybody, is named Eva. I'm sick of Martin. Free Smitty, and those kids. Dani is a full mess. I was starting to roll my eyes at Mother Dupree and her attitude toward Dani, but I guess she's right. She was wild for breaking in Bill's house, but I was hoping for her to spill some of that "92" on that hideous sofa.

I love Ava the character, and I was a fan of Janelle James before she was cast on the show. But they haven't shown us anything about her coming through for O'Shon, or treating him at all in a way regular people would find attractive. I haven't seen reasons why he'd be trying to spend free time with her. Maybe that will happen as their story goes on, if that scene outside the restaurant is any indication.

I agree. A lot of doctors hide the ball, they don't think patients need or want to know details, how they reached a conclusion, or why they're recommending something. But I do. I'm coming in informed, and I'm going to ask questions until I'm comfortable with whatever's happening. It's my body, health, life, so I don't give two figs about a doctor's ego. Grow up. Of course Dr. Ron and his patient were both obnoxious and exaggerated for the laughs. But I'm on the patient's side. I can't believe that was American Idol Anoop!

This is my dream duet (well, this and "What You Own"), but sadly none of my friends like Rent or karaoke. I was living through Zack. This episode was hilarious. I was cackling when the camera cut to Jacob screaming. His face was incredible. Can't wait to see what zany Jacob thing he gets interested in. Also I hope we do see more of Bill-Elijah, because Jaboukie is really funny. Nice to see Erica again. The story with her and Simon was half-baked, but this was a hangout episode, so no problem. I never really understood what O'Shon was seeing in Ava (and I still don't oop), but I liked seeing her have an honest moment with him.

Yeah, I think people forget Shamea was introduced as Kandi's friend first. I'm not surprised she's working with some real money. I think producers considered her as a housewife before, but she was boring. I fast forwarded through her toilet story, so maybe they had a bit of a point.

This was rough. I planned to watch until Kenya's banishment, but now I don't know. The new women are trying way too hard, and I don't like bringing fan energy to the table. There was too much focus on "the blogs" and "the streets" for me. Angela seemed cool though. Well, maybe. She was off on one trying to correct everybody about her husband's name. But I liked him clocking her wig and her running to the bathroom as Kenya came in. Ralph living in the basement, it's giving house poor.

I was super turned off by the opening scene of the mother being blown up in a generic Arabic neighborhood. We don't ever learn anything about her or her daughter. But then later we see some kind of ruins exposed by the explosion, so the whole horrible bombing scene ends up as just the catalyst for some white woman's research project? I came here to see if I was being too critical, but it looks like no one's really interested in this show anyway, so no great loss in turning it off.

Emem going out sad with this thirsty couch-surfer. Cue the Tyra gif. I don't know where the show got the idea they could make David and Madison's gross romance interesting. Those two dirtbags are nowhere near an affair to remember. I hope in the intervening year Camille has stopped jumping on top of Thomas.

Exactly that. Those heifers know Stacey didn't offer or agree to pay that cornball. They're just all on one accord to ice her out, I think because she proved to be more popular with the audience than they expected. She should've been clearer that she wasn't calling Eddie a liar, but that she needed to hear whatever TJ actually said because the accusation was so out of left field. After she saw the video, it seemed like her face was too cracked to reiterate her point, but she did clearly say she never offered or promised to pay that man. They don't have any reason to believe him. No words for Karen except best of luck. This reunion was better than the season, but it definitely didn't need to be three parts.

Is Matt Bomer supposed to be of an age with the other two? That's gonna take some disbelief suspending.

This was the main storyline on Our Kind of People, a primetime soap on ABC. They didn't stay on long enough to make anything of it, so I'm intrigued by what this show will do. I haven't watched a soap since Passions went off the air, but with this being black-cast I had to check it out. I'm getting re-adjusted to the dialogue and the pacing and meeting fifty-leven characters all at once. But the people, places, and things are all gorgeous, and the storylines are juicy, so I'll keep tuning in
