I really enjoyed Kristen needling Dorinda. I loathe Dorinda, and her addiction to being paused. It's fun watching her lose her mind over it. I wish Kristen had asked her if getting paused paid better than getting fired.

Monica's mother is awful. I'm not saying Monica isn't also awful, but that shit her mom pulled was next level and at the expense of her own daughter. My own mom wasn't the best mom (my dad was a single dad), and when she tries to parent me now, it makes me lose my shit. I hate it, I get triggered in exactly the same way Monica did. It's amazing how inappropriate parenting can turn someone into an inappropriate child, when the original problem is exactly being treated like a child. But you can't decide to suddenly be a parent 20 years too late. I hate for someone to clutch their pearls and say, "I would never talk to my mother like that." The missing part is the million times your mother would have never ACTED like that. And honestly, her mom LOVED it. She got exactly what she wanted. Monica is obviously responsible for her own behavior and her own reactions to her mother's bullshit. But I firmly believe Monica would have handled things WAY better had her mother not been there.

While I love this show, I don't think it's for everyone. Yes, it's a comedy, but it's darrrrrrrrrrk as hell, lol. I've only recommended it to a few friends, because not everyone is going to see the humor in someone having sex with Peter's dead mother. I'm bummed it's over, but I wasn't looking forward to it as much with Peter's death, tbh.

I'm working my way through healing after almost 10 years of being with someone like this, and I literally started crying during the Ralph segment - it was just like my life. Yeah, Drew kinda sucks, but do you know what happens when you stand next to someone toxic for years? You get a little toxic yourself. It's like if you got an STD from your husband cheating - it might not be your fault, but your shit's all fucked up and you gotta get it treated. Drew needs help, and maybe she's a shitty person also, but maybe she's just a woman who lowered her standards for a man she loved and became someone she doesn't like much either. I get it. Too well. And standing ovation to Kenya for actually speaking up, and it one of the reasons deep down I actually like her. I think that moment was very real for her, just like it was for me, and she spoke up calmly, and on point, but she told Ralph what an asshole he was, and quietly supported Drew through the whole thing. No one deserves to be treated like that by a man who has promised to love her. Drew doesn't deserve it, Kenya doesn't deserve it, I don't deserve, it and neither do any of the wonderful women on this board. Fuck Ralph so fucking hard, and fuck his stupid "cousin" too. I hope she sees how fucking stupid looks carrying that piece of shit's water. I hope I never see either of those two again.

There was actually a fairly large caution side that she practically fell on. I had noticed it earlier because I thought it was cute - it looks like a banana peel standing up. And just because I'm bitter (lol), had the sign not been there, it would have been a slam dunk in MOST US states. NC, along with I think 6 other states, it super victim-blamey. If you can be considered ONE PERCENT at fault for your accident (like wearing slippers), you get nothing.

I thought so, I was just thrown because the article made a point to say she was unemployed.

FWIW, I hated Shane to start and he has grown on me more than a little. I actually think he cares about Emily a great deal, but he's just very dry and not demonstrative (certainly on camera, but probably in real life too). He actually really cracks me up now. I actually really felt for Shannon when she was talking to her daughter. That was a real, real moment. I know what it's like to care about someone who has hurt you, and to hurt when they are hurting. While I'm sure there is no love lost, it truly seemed like Shannon was sorry David was hurting, and didn't seem to take any glee in what she absolutely could have. It said a lot about her, IMO. She can definitely be self centered for sure, but I also think she does care about other people. As far as Heather deserving the pile on - does she deserve it from these two? Nah. But this, for me, is "in bounds" for Housewives behavior. The pile on is nothing new, and as I alluded to earlier, I can't help but think of Heather lecturing Alexis that if everyone tells you you're dead, you should lie down. Heather has happily taken part in other pile ons, so I can feel but so badly that it's her turn in the hot seat. If Emily and Gina stick around long enough, their turns will come too.

OK, subtract the ring - how the hell did unemployed, young Lisa have $200K in assets?? Not being shady, how did it happen? Right or wrong, I really don't care - I hope she bleeds him dry.

Because Kandi (I'm guessing) makes more money than either of them, has to film less, and can walk away from Housewives with almost no repercussions. They are jealous of the power she has and they don't.

Drew could have 50 affairs with men, with women, with any variety of consenting adults, and I still would firmly believe Ralph is the asshole in that marriage.

Jenn's revelation made Eddie's statement about someone telling him to watch his wife land a little differently. It actually supports what Jenn is saying...why else would Eddie need to watch his wife? Speaking of, she's insane. I couldn't believe she threw that napkin. Wow. And oh dear, Heather, it seems everyone is telling you you're dead. Perhaps you should lie down?

This. I don't think it's that she's not over Matt, she's not over the life she thought she was going to have. It's understandable - it just wasn't her dream, but the one she wanted for her kids as well. I don't think she would go back to Matt. What would be the point? The "dream life" is already sullied and really can't be recovered. And while I said and meant that it's understandable, she needs to figure out how to mourn that death, grieve it,move the fuck on, and learn how to celebrate her ACTUAL future. And maybe he won't be her forever guy, but Travis seemed very sweet and sincere when he was talking about being there for Gina. I'm incredibly hard on the partners of these ho'wives, but he actually seems alright.

FWIW, this actually sounds inline with what they said, and also managed to make more sense. They said he sent it to everyone in his address book, and that it was only a handful of people in his contact list. So this part actually makes sense to me. Now, I still don't for a second believe that it was intended for Jenn.

I'm trying to remember from an accident I was in, I'm fairly certain that my settlement got an automatic bump because I was transported in an ambulance. I'm pretty sure it was a "mitigating factor" and I'm also pretty sure Lenny is savvy enough to know that. There is no question they are going to have to pay money for an employee who was injured on their property.

Yes. I can't say with real accuracy when I caught wise to FI Tom, but I find him to be far worse than Jax, and about even with Schwartz. Yes, I find both of the Toms worse than Jax.

I just rewatched season one, and I was was struck by how YOUNG everyone was. Mauricio turned 40 on the show! That made ME feel old. I also didn't remember what a voice of reason Adrianne was, when it came to everything except her husband. I actually just laughed at Camille - yes, Season One Camille is one of the worst people on the planet, but I just can't take her seriously, especially when I'll always believe the true asshole there was Kelsey. And finally, holy sheeeeeet, I forgot how dark that fight with Kyle and Kim was. I actually felt really uncomfortable the majority of the time Kim was on screen. She just seems so fragile and, to me, it's clear she never should have been cast.

I think Candiace did an incredible job of keeping her cool when dealing with rumors being put on TV about her husband. I'm another one who hated Candiace, but she has really won me over. She's still got a lot of room for growth, but she's one of the very, very, very few who I think have actually become a better person while on the show.

I normally don't care that these people wait until cameras are rolling to bring things up. I get that it is, in a lot of ways, part of the game. But Tamra is bringing up something from TWO YEARS ago? And it was only ONE STATEMENT? That's it? This dude probably said he would fuck every blond he sees, which indeed does make him gross, but that's it? He didn't follow up by hitting on Tamra, he didn't say this more than once, and it happened before he even met Jenn? C'mon. This is stupid. And it doesn't even make sense. Tamra was friends with Jenn at the time. If she was so concerned about who Jenn was getting involved with, there was no reason not to say so then, and there were no cameras to save it for. I can't imagine someone telling me TWO FUCKING YEARS into my relationship that I might be making a mistake. Um, that ship done sailed. This is stupid. I think Ryan really did send the dick pic to multiple people, though I definitely don't think it was intended for Jenn. But if he just sent a pic meant for someone else to only her, I don't think we would know about it. I think we know about it because he really did send it to multiple people, Jenn backed him and said she believed it was for her. Again, this is stupid.

I don't think this is correct. Leah's first season she was drinking for the first time after many years of sobriety. Her next season she was sober again, and has been since (at least on camera). I don't care for her, but this isn't something she made up after the fact.

Also, Lu, it's a KAzoo, not a WAzoo.

Veuve Clicquot was the champagne Sonja was drinking, Fose is Luanne's brand of no alcohol rose, and they were drinking those on the PJ, the private jet.

OMG, have you listened to it? It's HILARIOUS: Shannon: Hi Steve. It's Shannon Beador. How are you? I'm with Tamra right now and she just fell off her chair. I'm sorry. That was rude. We were just wondering how you are. 🤣 And there is something about a poem?? Vicki going all Family Van in the background... Is there any chance this was filmed?? Steve is a moron if he thinks this makes Vicki look bad. I can't stand Vicki, but he's a cheater and a liar, and this voicemail makes me like all three idiots more. He needs to quit being a little crybaby over one (hilarious) voicemail.

I mean, Martina used her in her surgery. I just don't know what could be more of an endorsement. She's a famous, rich, and beloved celebrity - she gets to choose her doctors, no doubt. And she chose Nicole. But yes, I also don't think Larsa actually understands what Nicole does, lol.

Sonja is drinking, isn't she? She looked to me like she was getting that glazed over look she gets when she's drank too much when they were leaving the bar. And she definitely had Veuve on the PJ (Lu had fose).

Count me in as another who enjoyed this. I thought the things that Sonja and Lu were being "snobby" about were completely reasonable things to gripe about. If anything, I thought the townspeople were the ones being ungenerous, though I'm sure a lot of that was producer manipulation. There is also absolutely no circumstance where I'm going to drag a fish from water with my freakin' hands. Absolutely not. Did anyone catch if Lu was driving back again? I only wondered because I think if she's driving, that means production believes she's truly not drinking, something often speculated about. And good god, what a man eater! I understand why everyone is comparing this The Simple Life, but to me, it's more Schitt's Creek! The motel vibe, and then especially they way Sonja and Lu are dressed to the nines for everything, when we have absolutely seen them in jeans and other casual attire.
