    Who says they will cut off the dick off their daughter’s boyfriend?  I’ve been cheated on by a boyfriend, and my dad did not mutilate the dude.  I don’t think I even told him because why does my dad need to know any of that?

    Not just cut his dick off - but cut his dick off and then hand it to Monica!

    What in the gruesome, "Lord of the Flies" nonsense is this...?

    Sorry, but I honestly think Garcelle is as manipulative as Erika.  She’s as much a shit-stirrer as Erika and Kyle.  And none of this would be happening if she hadn’t accused Crystal of always planning to say “Are you that girl?” no matter what Sutton said.  And I still don’t know where Garcelle got that idea.  And now she’s accusing Crystal of projecting a false demeanor to gain sympathy.  
     

    Diana maybe shouldn’t have got involved, but she was correct about the instance she weighed in on.  Sutton did say about Crystal “I like you but I hate you but I like you” and didn’t water it down with “I hate what you’re doing”. 

    Exactly. How Garcelle is sailing through this with supposedly clean hands is beyond me. She completely minimized what Sutton said last year by making it seem like something of Crystal's invention, which, we all saw, is fundamentally not true. And also? Where is Sutton coming from with, "You keep doing this to me!" When did it happen the first time? If we're talking about Crystal's alleged "pattern" of making up lies behind about people behind their backs, that never happened last year. Crystal *did* feel violated by Sutton catching her naked, and she spoke to that very directly to Sutton's face - you can have an issue with Crystal's choice of the word "violated," but nothing about what happened fits this so-called pattern. This whole thing is such a clusterfuck. All I know is Sutton proclaiming, "I did nothing wrong!" doesn't sit well with me when we all saw that she did in fact display some incredibly embarrassing and ignorant white fragility that night.

    That didn't bother me.  For a small minority of women their pageant thing is their whole life.  That Romeo seeks to inspire them to do their best, I think is a good thing.  I think pageants are stupid and well out of date, but it's his career whether he fell into it or chose it and it's what he knows.

    I'm sure people would quickly get bored if I talked about plastics a lot, but that was my career and that's what I know about. At the end I did paper treatment for grease resistance.  Compare untreated  newspaper/paper towels etc. to your treated fast food/food wrappers  It was quite interesting.

    I have no judgments against pageants. It's just how seriously he seemed to take all of it. He spoke about it with a level of drama that just seemed a bit over the top.

      And enough with the endless pageant metaphors. 

    Wait, Romeo works in pageants? LOL, the way he spoke about inspiring women to be their best, I literally assumed him to be a social worker who helped women trying to build better lives for themselves.

    I want to say that Tom is just immature, but as an employer myself, I recognize the type. It's more than that. Whenever someone tries to instruct him they get an argument from him. Even if it's the simplest of things, like pulling up the fenders. If Gary says "no do it this way" he gets an argument. I'm not sure what that's about but it's a bad employee. That type of person just isn't prepared to work in the real world. 

    Oh, it's definitely more than immaturity. He cannot take responsibility for anything. He makes a mistake, and then, when someone points out his mistake, he immediately huffs about it (albeit usually under his breath) and somehow makes it their fault ("why did you wait until after I've done it to tell me...?"). His reaction to Ashley's (admittedly callous) behavior was frightening - the way he stalked her around the boat, wouldn't take no for an answer, called her a derogatory name. I mean, even his initial reaction to her not wanting to date a younger guy - dude, that is her prerogative - leave her alone, she doesn't owe you anything and it's not her problem if her taste in guys deflates your ego. I get that Tom has a softer side to him, he clearly cares a lot about people, he clearly wants to do a good job, and it's at least a good sign that he feels remorse for his behavior. But he has real unchecked rage - he's young still, it's only going to get worse as he gets older if he doesn't deal with it.

    I honestly think that Kyle is beautiful!  It's just that his ears are big.  That might be tough to get used to.  If I had to guess, I would say that Kyle is half white and half Asian.  He's been playing "Guess my ethnicity" on Instagram but from what I understand he hasn't revealed it yet.

    I find Kyle quite attractive but I will say, yes, the reunion made me realize that his ears are in fact quite large! Also, that nose ring was not the look. Is he tall or short? I could never figure it out.

    Julia is okay in small doses, she does not seem comfortable in her own skin and somehow a bit "lurchy."

    I personally find Julia so creepy and unsettling to watch. Everything feels like a cultivated act with her. The flirtatious, giggly persona. The wacky farm life. Her obsession with her relationship with Martina. It all feels so pushed and forced, and it leads me to wonder who the real Julia might be.

    Affluence does not change the reality of disparate treatment within this country. This is why Black Harvard professors are falsely accused of “breaking in” to their own homes or professional athletes are pulled over in their fancy cars. My father, a federal prison warden, was pulled over years ago while driving his marked government vehicle not because he was speeding or failed to signal or because of some other traffic violation. He was pulled over because they wanted to see some ID because they assumed he stole it. I’m an attorney. People assume I’m the secretary or the court reporter. We’ve lived a very affluent lifestyle. Didn’t change how we’ve been treated because we’re Black. 

    Yes to all of this - just because Tami has created an affluent lifestyle for herself doesn't mean that we don't - and she doesn't - live in a world of systemic racism. No one said that people of color aren't able to be successful or thrive in this world - obviously, that is not the case - she is speaking to, as she said, overarching systems of power that preclude a level playing field for everyone. Tami has a right to feel be upset if she feels she had to work that much harder to achieve her affluence, if she felt like she had to play certain games to get there (ie "stay in her lane") or simply on behalf of her fellow people of color who have not managed to thrive in a system that she feels is stacked against them. It's not as black-or-white (no pun intended) as people of color never getting to experience affluence.

    Yes David was disrespectful. BUT, Tami should let him have his own damn opinions and stop trying to change him. Also, he is not wrong about divisions being created between groups are just created blinders to the bigger picture and bigger issues. Not saying one has to stay in their lane like David said but making a whole group or race of people the enemy isn't helping anything either.

    Yes, there is a lot I like about Tami - and I tend to feel that she gets a bad rap (both in 1993 and now) - but she was not willing to hear David at all. He is right that he is allowed to have his experience and that she was getting angry simply because they didn't mirror her own. Tami escalated that situation by accusing him of having a slave mentality, but then he escalated it further by purposefully harassing her. Don't even get me started on Beth S. looking for any window to chide David. This was an interesting episode because I felt bad for both David and Tami - and I was also super annoyed by both David and Tami.

    She slut shamed Luanne then tried to play it off like it wasn’t slut shamming. Blabbing out she fucked on the first date like it was something to be ashamed of was malicious. I’m over Ramona getting passes for this shit like oh she’s just harmless. If she only did something like this once yeah sure but she does it over and over and fake apologies come out …  No she’s an asshole who needs to be held accountable. She’s gotten away with this bullshit way to long. 

    I literally said, "she's not usually malicious," which means, yes, there are times that she is in fact malicious. I also said Ramona is a monster. But neither of these things changes the fact that Kenya is also a monster. And just because Ramona happens to be unlikable doesn't make Kenya justified or somehow better in her own horrible behavior. And just like Ramona is an asshole who needs to be held accountable...so is Kenya. Going against someone equally unlikable doesn't make Kenya a hero in my book.

    Kenya is the woooooooooooooooooooorst.  All she does is cause trouble with her shady "games".  Then she screams at everyone.

    I know that Ramona has some kind of disorder but Kenya is 100% manipulating every situation to make Ramona look bad again and again.  She keeps stoking these old fires so that people get mad at her again and again.  Kenya is Machiavellian.  She hates Ramona and she wants everyone else to as well.  If Kenya didn't start this "game" then none of this drama would have happened and everyone would have had fun on the yacht.  

    Yes, yes, and YES! I found it so rich when Kenya was accusing Ramona of playing the victim when that is all Kenya ever doesSay what you will about Ramona (and there is a lot you can say), she's not manipulative in the same way as Kenya. Ramona will act like a total asshole, but that's just her unfiltered personality and it's not usually directed in a specifically malicious way. Kenya, on the other hand, is like a dog with a bone. She claims she gave Ramona a pass for the first offense on the plane, but it's not really true - she has taken every opportunity to dig and dig some more at Ramona, and then she acts all offended when Ramona fights back. Not to mention Kenya is also the one who showed up an hour late for dinner, helped herself to mac and cheese before anyone else, refused to apologize for it and then seemed to take active pleasure in it when her bff Cynthia was feeling excluded by the group at large. Remind me again how exactly Kenya is so much better than Ramona...? Also - how is it that Kenya can proudly proclaim, "I fight with my words!" but then she gets so heated and charged when Ramona simply says, "fuck you" to her? Kenya can call Ramona "a peasant," but Heaven forbid Ramona says the words "fuck you?" Kenya sucks. At least Ramona can be funny in her delusions.

    After RHOSLC Whitney was a guest on WWHL. Whitney said she thinks the only reason she got Lisa's favor and was invited to the Fresh Wolf event as a set up to get that info from Cameron- Lisa prob knew Whitney would spread the info. 

    Lisa seems sketchy, but Whitney and Heather seriously need to calm down with their "Lisa is the root of all evil" routine. I feel like Lisa can scarcely breather before their gossiping about it with everyone around them, determined that everyone hates Lisa as much as they do.

    Both last week and this week I heard the chief stew (can't remember her name that is how much I am impressed by her) apologize to the primary and say "this is not up to standard."  Why would she say that? It is telling the primary that they are not doing their job. I think the complaints about the towels and trash were producer driven.  

    I thought it was her passive aggressive way of letting the guest know that someone else was to blame for it - "I understand this isn't up to standards - meaning, someone else failed!" She's passing the buck without technically passing the buck.

    I can't decide who's more to blame for towel-gate. I'm leaning towards Heather, she really doesn't seem very good at this, but on the other hand I don't think Fraser is as good as he says he is either. Making sure all the rooms have adequate towels seems pretty basic even when your chief stew is constantly pulling you in different directions.

    Heather and Fraser still seem like the exact same person to me - they're both so full themselves, so passive-aggressive and so unwilling to give anyone else any grace. "I would do it better" seems to be both of their subtextual mantra. Kate had some of this too, to be sure, but it was tempered with actual wisdom, expertise and even kindness, which made her much more tolerable (for me). I find both Heather and Fraser so unlikable.

    This looks to be an interesting season.  Frazer needs to dial it down a bit.  They just got on the boat and are learning how to work together as a team.  That takes time.  Give Heather a hot minute to evaluate you and Laundry Queen (can't remember her name) during the first charter.  And since you are such a stickler for the details I noticed you had no comments for yourself about leaving the trash bag in the primary's room.  I want to believe Bravo made the primary call Heather down to her room to remove the offending trash bag........naw probably not.

    Frazer and Heather strike me as very similar to one another - two young kids who like to puff up their chests about their high standards, their impeccable attention to detail, their consummate professionalism, but it feels like they're both a bit full of hot air. Dial it down, children. You don't need to try so hard to prove you're good at your job. It's no wonder they will butt heads - they're male and female versions of each other, it seems.

    I think Kyle genuinely cares about his bros (example Carl), but the way he treats Amanda is horrid.

    I think Kyle loves Amanda, but I agree that he can be an absolutely shitty boyfriend/fiancee/husband. That said, in the words of "Judge Judy," she picked him (and fought for him, and stayed with him), so she obviously has some investment in being in this difficult relationship.

    I dated a guy who was like that when he was 46 (I was 34 and he lied and said he was 38). The obsession with partying never ends well. He almost died from alcohol poisoning a few years ago. He’s almost 60 now and I’m surprised he’s still alive. Same deal, successful business but also very image conscious and very hard partying. I couldn’t keep up and I didn’t try. I broke up with him after he embarrassed me one too many times. That’s probably why I dislike Kyle so much; been there, done that, got the jewelry. Those guys never change.

    I actually have a huge soft spot for Kyle because I think he has a fundamentally good heart and he genuinely cares about people (plus, he's funny). But I think his drinking covers deep unresolved anger, and, like your ex, I think it's only going to get worse with time.

    Wondering for awhile if Kyle's drunk party persona is a character he plays on TV.  First, because Amanda seems like a decent, intelligent woman who wouldn't be down for that behavior 24/7.  Secondly, Loverboy is hugely successful and even before that Kyle was a well respected in the start-up/business development world.  He has an MBA from Babson, a highly respected entrepreneurial program.

    That's not to say I like the part he plays on the show. If anything, his antics are getting worse and even more grating.  But, I do think he's an entirely different person off-camera.  Remember how disappointed he was when Carl showed up for a business/sales meeting drunk? 

    I also think that Kyle/Amanda have been together/lived together long enough that she truly knows and accepts who he is. imho, they have as good a chance as anyone to stay together.

    I think Kyle is very good at separating work from partying, and I think he's equally intense about both. He's good at compartmentalizing, but I think the obsession with partying is very much real - and difficult to watch in a 40 year-old man.

    Ladies? How did Paige end up dating Craig? She was infatuated with Andrea and downgrades to Craig. In terms of class, I would definitely give the advantage to Andrea, however It appears Paige gave Andrea his walking papers soon after the show.

    Andrea seemed very hammy and over-the-top to me, like he was trying way too hard to prove something. Maybe it was for the benefit of the cameras.

    Where is Carl?

    Carl has said that he decided not to participate in Winter House because the Summer House episodes dealing with his brother's death would be airing while they filmed, and he was concerned that he might fall off that wagon if he were in that environment during an emotionally difficult time. In other words, he actually prioritized his sobriety over reality TV.

    I have a huge spot for Kyle, but he has a drinking problem, full stop. He is able to "manage" it much better than Carl did, but it's an issue, and I hope Amanda is paying serious attention.

    I think Candiace was stupid for meanly calling a pregnant woman wide ass. I can't stand Kenya Moore, but I felt the same way when Nene called her a buffalo.  I'm not going down the "body shaming" rabbit hole. I dislike insulting (not playful teasing) the ladies for the physical symptoms of pregnancy.  

    Candiace also hit a new low even by Housewives standards when she outright mocked Ashley's sadness over her miscarriage. It is true that all the women throw shade, but there is a way that Candiace hits really far below the belt and then never wants to take any responsibility for it. It reminds me of how Jax would always proclaim, "You're not perfect either!" whenever someone tried to confront him about his atrocious behavior. Yes, none of them are perfect. But Candiace goes to a place that feels outright nasty a lot of times. No humor, no sly wink to the camera, just nasty.

  21. Interestingly enough, I saw Garrett and Josh of all people hanging out together in LA last week. They seemed very chummy, and they were literally taking pictures and videos of each other on their smart phones (lol). I will say both men are quite tall in real life. And Josh is just gorgeous.

    •  Candiace's bedroom.  So ugly!  Honestly, I do not get people who put so much attention into how they look but live in these creepy, featureless rooms they make no attempt to decorate.  How long has she been living in that house anyway?  Long enough to put a poster on those blank walls, I'd guess.

    I think we see so many empty, feature-less homes because decorating costs money! And I think most of these women are either living beyond their means or they have very little financial room to spare. I would not be surprised at all if Candiace and Chris stretched their resources for the house. It's one thing to acquire the home, it's another thing entirely to furnish it in a tasteful, abundant way. I guess it all depends how much credit they have available (it's hard for me to imagine they live a cash-only lifestyle, though I would respect them if they did).

    While Karen's perception is wrong in that Gizzard didn't wish death on Ray, for me she'd still be on my shit list for the 'Free Uncle Ben' t-shirt....that attacked her husband so Karen pushing back with Reverend Leon Lonnie Love Bryant living in her cell phone should make them even.

    My suspicion has been that this was the real turning point for Karen but she doesn't want to bring it up because it would continue to bring attention to an embarrassing moment in time not just for her, but more so for Ray. Though Gizelle keeps bringing it up anyway, so I wish Karen would simply own it.
