Lizzing

Love watching all of these trash people trying to out-trash each other. If Shannon only got 1.4M and $10-30K a month after nearly 2 decades with David, she got screwed. 1.4M would be my price for sharing cocktails and apps with his horrific ass. Gina is an idiot for moving in with her boyfriend and his 3 kids after about six months. I'm all for frugality and my house is smaller than her townhouse, so it isn't size shaming. But I'm not cramming 8 people in here, four of which I've known less time than the Costco half-and-half has a shelf life. Braunwyn needs to free herself from her mother and societal expectations. She's over 40, so she should have gotten that memo. She has potential to be a great HW, but is acting like a 7th grader on PEN15. Emily is a lost cause.The new hip is the least of her troubles. Her moral bankruptcy is the issue. In every scene, she makes Shane seem like the good guy. Kelly is a dumpster fire on a shit river aflame. I have no time for her. New Gal might be fun, but the Dana comparisons are tired by Week 2. She needs another couple of weeks to develop. So far, her only redeeming quality is her love of dogs. I generally distrust people who don't like dogs, as even my cats like dogs. She can skate another couple of weeks, based on that alone.

Rinna spawn checked into a similar hotel to Tinsley? But in LA instead of NYC? Okay....if I had the funds, I'd stay there.And we finally got a follow-up to the initial trailer of Kyle & Erika in a car. But the best part was Sutton's bday party, so cancel everyone but Sutton, Garcelle, and (it pains me) Erika and start over. I have no interest in a season with the 3 Richards sisters. But given that there are people upset by the KUWTK cancellation, I have no faith in Bravo programming.

Bravo got the year wrong on this, right? Last reunion ep, Erika said it'd been 29 years since she was pregnant, so her son is in his late 20s. 2014 may feel like it was a decade ago--but it was only 6 years ago and her kid doesn't look like he's even seen puberty yet. LOL

Look, far be it from me to give any of the HWs story any credence because they are drunken slope skiiers, but the "diuretics make you loopy" story rings "could be true" for me. In the early aughts, I was prescribed diuretics for my high blood pressure by a largely incompetent doctor. I was so fucked up on them, my admin at the time was ready to call for medical assistance. The "hardest" thing I was drinking was Sprite. (I stopped taking them & saw an internist, and have had my BP under control since, without diuretics.) So it is not implausible that diuretics could have been the source of Sonja's and Dorinda's fast downfall into drunken territory. They are both likely to be dabbling into the snowy arts, of course. But since I was stone cold sober and the floors were moving, I can't 100% dismiss the diuretics. That having been said, I totally believe that Dorinda is pissed at Tinsley about the John/money from Scott situation.

Ugh. Cancel this mess. Unless I can get a guarantee that someone is taking down Kyle and Rinna--or they try to take down each other--I don't care. So over-produced, so under-delivered. The casting went sideways with Rinna and Eileen. Buy some soap stars, get soap plotlines.

My sister has lived in NYC for the past 22 years, and I remember going there with her early on in her time living there. They had the best & cheapest French Onion soup I've ever had. They were mostly vegetarian, right? I seem to recall pretty good hummus too. Anyway, with regard to NYC real estate, same sister is an agent in Brooklyn mostly and occasionally Manhattan, and at the same time is looking to buy a house outside of the city (they just had a baby and she's suddenly forgotten years of decrying our collective upbringing in the 'burbs). The market for the suburbs (Yonkers, Nyack, and those areas) has been moving super-fast, with people paying hundreds of thousands over ask to get the properties that are kind of shitty. The Manhattan market has slowed down, but not stopped--she sold a place in the West Village last week after 2 private showings. She was pretty sure it'd sell, but was shocked at the speed, given the lower demand With the new price on the townhouse, I think Sonja will eventually find a buyer. I also don't buy the "NYC is dead" line. And I'm selfishly encouraging my sister to wait on moving out of the city, in the hopes something will come on the market in her Inwood neighborhood. The one thing that shocked me in this episode was that Leah was wearing her 8th grade Patricia Field dress from 1995. First, that it still fits is kinda insane, but she could have had it altered. Second, it made me feel old, because I was out of college by then. And third, it made me wonder how affluent her parents were, because, while Pat Field hadn't hit it "big" nationally yet--Sex & the City was still 3 years away--she was a pretty well known NYC designer, and I doubt 13 year old Leah had her own stacks of cash. And as for Dorinda's unmitigated wrath against Tinsley....I've read all the discussion here, and I agree that there's no good explanation. I do think that she got a lot of cover from Bethenny's unhinged behavior--B usually got crazy first, so it might have taken the wind out of Dorinda's sails. With Beth gone, Dorinda had room to act out and try to dominate the group, with an ego hyped up as seeing herself as the now sole "voice of reason"--given her talking heads, she sure thought she was. I do buy the stories that Dorinda was shitty to production and that contributed to her firing, but that can't be all it was. Vicki body-checked producers (as was revealed on the 100 ep anniversary show) and she stuck around for years after that. Oh, and speaking of the OC, Tinsely's mid-season send-off was close to Lauri's, when she bowed out after marrying George. She had other shit to deal with and didn't need the show any more either. So I wouldn't be surprised if Tinsely popped up now & again as a guest if she's in NYC in future seasons now that Dorinda is out. Finally, I may be a party of one, but I really liked this season. Even with the cloud of doom that was Dorinda, it felt so much lighter, funnier, and faster with out Bethenny. Inasmuch as the women were ultimately at a loss with what to do with Dorinda, they didn't cower from confronting her, as though they were in fear of losing their jobs. Also, placing NYC in contrast to BH, NYC was like a cold drink of water, whereas BH was like a hot cup of dust, which made this season seem even better.

It has been widely reported that Denise has a 4 year $4M contract for this show. Let's assume that is true for the sake of argument. I'd further assume that it is $1M/year, and that this is more than anyone else on the cast is getting. If we know her contract deal, the rest of the cast knows it too. Kyle would be pissed because she sees this show as hers. Rinna would be pissed because no one should out-hustle the hustler (e.g., the Vanderpump Dogs dust-up). Last season Denise gave us stories about Charlie Sheen and hookers, happy endings, and walking out of the surf like the (worst ever) Bond girl she was. People are still hung up about her "Wild Things" performance--why, I'll never understand. This season she started off by defending Dorit getting glammed up and asking the women not to engage in threesome talk in front of her kids. Because most Housewives, across all franchises, act like they have no concept of what times and places are appropriate for discussions, Denise's mild rebuke gets twisted into "she's not being truthful", which is a drum beaten by Kyle, Rinna, and Teddi as Kyle's minion, in every single episode from that point forward. Say it enough, and it becomes true, I suppose. Production piles on, with the introduction of the Brandi-related stories (the alleged sex & the uncharitable remarks about Teddi and Erika, only one of which belonged on the show) and standing up Garcelle. So why was this the focus of the entire season? I think, firstly, they had nothing else. The other women curate their on-screen personas tightly and we're never going to get the Real Tax Returns of Dorit & PK, though I'd find that fascinating. Secondly, aside from Rinna's & Kyle's jealousy of Densie's paycheck and fan favorite status, production was pissed that they shelled out so much money on someone who was trying to pull a Season 2 Camille, and pull back on her image. Possibly Denise did that because of the custody situation with Charlie Sheen. Perhaps she wanted to revert to her original "just a big, quirky family" persona of her first reality show. Maybe for some other reason. But ultimately, just like the editors of VPR wanted to paint Scheana like an idiot, I think Kyle & Rinna's issues dove-tailed with a disappointed production house, to make Denise look like a dishonest fool and get her off the show (and save some cash that they were going to lose, because they didn't have enough action to make it to the 20+ eps per season they usually have without juicy details--again, see Denise's first season tagline). Of course, Denise played it all wrong and didn't help herself one bit. She isn't that bright. Garcelle saw that early on, because she's smart. But the real losers here are the viewers. It's at least the 4th season we've had a one-issue conflict, and this season was the weakest by far. So what if Denise wants to change her image? So what if she trash-talked Erika and Teddi the same way Erika has been trashed and admitted to (she's "cold"...oh, big fuckin' deal) and Teddi clearly is worried about staying relevant in this cast. The rest of the cast could bring something. We didn't even see Kyle's stupidly small car, her husband's open houses, Boy George, the Hamlin/Rinna rat, or the desert house Kyle bought with the proceeds from Kim's stolen house. The bottom line is that production is showing their hand a bit too much. At first it was interesting, but then it became an "UnReal" redux. And it had to be "too much" because this cast just doesn't have anything going on, or anything interesting going on that they want to share. We can see LuAnn go to jail, Dorinda spiral into a utter bitch, Leeann reveal herself to be a vitriolic racist, Sandy weaponize mental health treatment, and so on. But no one on this cast will let their guard down for a second. It's only crafted glimpses. My conclusion is that Denise was the easiest target, and the best for the bottom line. If not her, it would have been someone else, probably Dorit, as Sutton and Garcelle are too new and it'd be a bad look to go after the first POC on this franchise in her first season. And, if this is how this show is going to shake out, it's time to put it to bed. Oh, and one other thing that did shine through is that Teddi is a fucking monster. The "your shoulders look fat" comment didn't come out of a place where the kid was taught commenting on other people's bodies is unwarranted. Teddi didn't push back in those terms either. If Teddi stays around, she has more of a natural alliance with Rinna than Kyle.

I completely agree it looked like it was filmed later to shape the narrative. They could not have mentioned "Christmas" more times, so as to 'establish' when the scene was supposedly filmed. And Dorit openly said that Denise/Aaron lied "to production"--so those crafting the narrative had to know at this point that the 4th was was going to slip. Dorit isn't stupid; she wouldn't break the 4th wall haphazardly. It was planned. The sad thing is that all this planning to craft a storyline still resulted in perhaps the most boring, tedious (should I say Teddi-ous) season this show has ever produced. The one upside to the whole affair is that it was only 16 episodes. How they're going to put out a 3 part reunion is beyond me. Will it be one hour of clips of Erika's Broadway performace?

Maybe it's the pandemic, maybe it's the quagmire that is BH & BDM, but I was downright giddy at the fun the women were having at their dinner out, sans Dorinda. No fighting, no melt-downs, a bit of awkward flirting (Ramona) and slightly inappropriate making out (Leah), but nothing too horrible. And the thing I loved most of all was the split screen action, with LuAnn and Sonja chatting, almost doing color commentary, off to the side. Hell, I'd watch a season of these four carousing across the fancier pickup scene bars and restaurants across the country (once such travel is safe, obvs). I'd even excuse a bit of the scatalogical discussion if there were no screaming, drunken, nonsensical rage-fests perpetuated by any participant. Count me in on wanting to know what Lu & Leah do for workouts. Granted, they must have good genes--even at my slimmest & trimmest, I still have Eastern European genes that give me the upper arms of an aged babushka---but they, unlike the BH women, actually ingest food with all the alcohol. And food with fat, like guac and eggs. I'm a tad envious. The whole working at the breakfast table/taking a call at lunch thing really is just silly. Sonja & Leah were working when the others came upon them. Good manners would have been for S&L to finish the immediate task (like Leah did--close out that one email) or pause and complete longer tasks later or take it elsewhere. Dorinda could have answered the call to make sure it wasn't an emergency, then excused herself. She clearly wanted Hannah's small news to be broadcast. Why, I have no idea. The news of working at a library doing cataloging isn't exactly reality TV worthy. If it were, I'd have had a reality TV show a decade ago when my sister regularly called me about her archiving gigs. Dorinda is just coasting on her meme contributions at this point. If she could tamp down the anger--and that's a huge ask--and get on board with the carousing for men with the others, she might be fun. But I doubt her chiropractor can give her that much therapy. And to my mind, she still needs to atone for being such a bitch to Tinsley, who was less harmless than a feather.

I am loathe to comment before watching, but I wanted to read the comments ahead of actually viewing the episode. BD/BDM used to be a wonderful escape to beautiful locales, but in the last year it has done nothing more than raise my blood pressure and wish to see Tamra Barney acting the fool in beachy locales rather than the misogynist assholes hired to staff a yacht. And I'm no fan of that possum-faced fool. So I will be skipping this and watching the comments here to see if Bugsy, Malia, and Sandy get their cumuppance. I've commented before that I wanted Sandy to be great--a woman in a traditionally male role--but was let down at nearly every turn. Then it dawned on me: her one talent is backing into tight parking spaces. It's been my life long belief that backing into parking spaces is the mark of the devil. So, despite the probably nautical need to back into slips, her innate talent for that one thing--and ONLY that one thing--has proven to me that she's just plain evil. And the whole Covid downplaying BS didn't help. Inasmuch as I would love for Hannah to have something actionable, HIPAA isn't going to work here (not to mention the usual Bravo contract language about precluding suits against other cast members). That piece of legislation guards against a patient's privacy being violated by a health care provider or insurer in the US. Better international legal minds than mine could make an argument about privacy laws in Spain/Greece/wherever they were or in general, but that is likely obviated by the Bravo contract, which no doubt has been vetted by lawyers with international law expertise. Anyway, I like Hannah about as much as I like Kate: only so-so, but I enjoy their TV personalities, and like the continuity they bring to the show. But Hannah was done dirty since the start of this season, just like Kate was in her last season. I don't like this Bravo trend. In fact, Bravo's airing of the *original* MDL season kicked my brain into nostalgia gear, and that early aughts, when things were nice (remember the original QE aired here), were the best times. And if Bravo is wanting to do dirty deeds to OGs to cut their salary budget, I have suggestions....ditch Sandy, ditch all things Jeff Lewis, ditch Kyle Richards, ditch all the OC, and ditch Andy Cohen.

Bravo has been re-airing the original Million Dollar Listing, where the show was focused on the house/deal, rather than the agents. Yeah, the agents were involved, but the plot followed the home sale more than anything. I LOOOOVED this season and was so disappointed at the changes when it came back 2 years later. I'm really missing early aughts Bravo...Queer Eye, Inside the Actors' Studio, first season OC. Also I'm perplexed by some of these houses being touted at "up to date" where they look like maybe late 80s/early 90s updates....was that current in '05? I have no clue at this point, as January of this year feels like six years ago. Well, watch the old stuff if you get a chance and ignore the crazy chick here.

Hannah is the absolute worse to ask about food choices--she's never been good at even parroting what the chefs tell her the dishes are. They just re-ran S1 of BDM and Ben went about apoplectic at her half-assed description of moussaka. Kate knows food--though I'm pretty certain she only eats junk food--and could credibly coach Matt. If Kiko had Kate coaching him, he would have done better. Or even Courtney, as she would have recommended seafood towers at every turn. However, inasmuch as Hannah screwed up and should have just kept her mouth shut, Kiko should have looked past the first page Google gives when searching for "Vegas food". Sandy needs to get some therapy for her deep insecurity.

I watched BH & NY back to back this morning and I have to say that NY is so damn superior. Right now, NY has 5 main players and one supporting, and BH has seven (8 if you count Sutton) and they still had to pull from the bench to bring drama (Kim & Brandi). Meanwhile, NY can leave Elyse on the bench and still bring it. Ramona's party was too brightly lit and I deeply distrust anything Scott Conant owns, due to his distaste for raw red onion. (Blasphemy!) It was super crazy that Dorinda thinks Sonja has something deeply sad about her, but doesn't realize she does too. LuAnn was kinda cringey with the ex-con group, but not as bad as her S1 (?) meeting with underprivileged youths. Sonja needs a proper property manager for her townhouse. What the hell is Sotheby's doing if they allowed a water leak to go on for that long?

I too had to resort to watching on my phone, but it was less annoying than I feared (the phone-watching, not the movie as a whole). I liked it better than the first movie--tighter plot, felt like it moved faster, and it had a sweet ending. My one tiny hang-up is that I cannot NOT think Joel McHale is in full snark/Soup mode all the time, so it was a tiny disconnect for him to be playing something sincere/straight. But if I hadn't watched 15 years of him ragging on people for being famous for a big ass and a sex tape, his casting probably wouldn't have given me pause.

I am straight up out of sympathy for a trained chef who can't adopt to a vegan/vegetarian menu, especially when they're not asked to bake a cake. I'm self-trained and can make a meatless ettouffe, "shrimp" creole, "crab" and corn bisque, and a handful of other cajun/creole foods (not with that weird fish sub for crab). Maybe it involves a bit more creative provisioning in the Med, but on land, it's stupid easy. But really, if they can get a mariachi band on demand, they can get tofu or paneer. I have no idea what causes Hannah to get tossed (if that is the case), but Bugsy bugs....she's like a Disney employee. Super fakey fake. Worse that Amy's Texas pageant girl, worse that Aesha's gleeful up-beat-ness. If she's the one who tosses Hannah over the side, it will be difficult to continue to watch. Hannah isn't the best, but she's better than a lot, including Sandy, whose only redeeming quality is backing a boat in to a tiny slip. It sure isn't being egalatarian.

Asuelu needs to be sent back to not even Samoa...maybe the seventh circle of hell. Oliver & Kennedy are too good for him. Deavon & Karinie are his age and can--if nothing else--protect and care for their kids. He is trash.

So we waited almost a month for this...yeesh, the rest of the season bodes little promise. First off, Kim & her scenes...Kim looks like she could be Ramona's mother or grandmother, but she has had a hard life, even outside of substance abuse. But even Kim can't escape Kyle's "Everything is about MEEEEE" treatment. I was hoping on some kind of dealing with post-op care that didn't involve narcotics, but I was dissappointed. Garcelle, despite her tract house in the valley, remains a queen. Love her right now. And, weirdly, Dorit has kinda become a voice of reason. I'm sure that won't last, but right now she's making more sense than anyone other that Garcelle. Aaron is reaching in his relevance. I'm not sure why the women engaged with him at Sutton's trunk show party. (And when did a Friend Of get to host 2 events at her shop?) If these women wanted a power play, they wouldn't have engaged him at all or only engaged him on (1) tequila he drinks or (2) his dick size. Like dare him to whip it out to reinforce he's only good for that one thing. So Denise is maybe kinda/sorta still pissed about the sex talk that her kids overheard. But maybe she's more "let it go" and the others that are still upset & view her initial comments as a moratorium on their mothering skills. From where I sit, it seems that Garcelle, Dorit, and to a degree Teddi are okay with letting it go. The others--Rinna, Erica, Kyle--still have an axe to grind. Hmmm, wonder why...but not really. The first three are clearly good mothers. The other three, well they could be but at least one hangs their hat a bit too much on being a good mother for validation because she's accomplished fuck all outside of crotch fruit, and the other two have fucked up kids

I saw a Sandy Insta of her being incensed that grocery stores had arrows on aisles to tell people which way to go to avoid too much contact. And, while I fully appreciate I'm over-reacting, it pissed me the fuck off. First, minimizing contact is key to not spreading a virus that is multiple times more deadly than the seasonal flu and more communicable to boot. Secondly, as a military child, it also irritated the fuck out of me that she labeled it as "unpatriotic" or some such. Like, dude, so all those commissaries that I visited in my youth that had designated up & down lanes were unpatriotic? On fuckin' military bases? Like, bitch, ya don't know your history? Or maybe check yourself a moment. Then I remember that, outside of Malia for the moment, and the assllcking of Bugsy's tacky tablescapes, she's never unreservedly stood for one woman on crew* and has always been the suck-up to assholes, made Capt. Lee look progressive by comparison, and her one talent is backing into parking spaces...which is the key indicator of an asshole on land, so it stands to work on water as well. *She was okay with Anastasia for a bit, but she was still up her ass about food temp when it was clear that (a) the service area was too far away from the kitchen and (b) Sandy could have insisted the stove got fixed but didn't. As we discovered, a couple of plug-in induction burners would have cost about 100 euros, small pittance to a boat that size. Uggh...rant over. Sorry to be so long.

Having just gotten home from a Costco run, I've got to agree that a lot of the snacks served on the BD franchise seem like they could be from there. Not that long ago on BDSY, I was watching it while eating Costco red pepper hummus and veggies and that's what Madison served a gaggle of drunk guests. And, for what it's worth, even Costco sells real maple syrup in a fairly large container for about $11. But, aside from the snacks, Kiko's food looks pretty good (were it only on time!). I learn something new every day! I legit had never heard of this and thought it was some kind of reference to the former DC mayor, Marion Barry. I will have to find some to try (though probably not at Costco LOL). I do NOT get Sandy's obsession with tablescapes. The one Bugsy for dinner was so cluttered and tacky: were it my charter, I'd ask that it be cleared and/or wonder why they're trying to distract me from the food. Maybe all the tchotchkes were to misdirect attention from the one single lamb chop that was the main course. It's Greece--lamb is abundant.

This Dorit/Garcelle commentary version would have been better if D & G were recorded at the same time--on Zoom or Skype or something--and were able to interact with each other. I did like that they were both critical of Kyle in the same way. It was kind of surprising that Dorit admitted to never seeing the Dinner Party From Hell episode. There'd been some speculation around the internet that Bravo was putting up these commentary episodes to give them time to re-edit upcoming episodes with Brandi in light of her prior problematic racial comments and Bravo's recent firing of at least five people due to their similar behavior. But if this was *really* filmed on May 13th (a full week before the public saw the episode), then they are just stretching this season, perhaps due to Covid shutting down other shows' production. However, the question becomes why they aren't doing it with NYC. I mean, I'd be pissed if they paused NYC for a month but they could delay BH for months and I'd be cool with it. The horses they beat will be just as dead then as they are now.

Here I was thinking it was because she's stolen Mo's face and Kyle couldn't tolerate Mo not being there when Ed was, lest she get jelly of her underling.

Look, all I want to say is that Portia was at the party. For like 1.5 seconds, y'all can see her...it's right after Garcelle says her boys want to play with a ball and there's a quick shot to the bounce house and Portia is there. It's at 37:01 on my recording, but that's my cable and not that reliable. Oh, and as for Denise swearing up and down in front of Dorit's kids....yeah, that's a non starter. Dorit's kids have lived on & off from birth with a dude who chained up a person for sexual gratification. That far out-paces any movie role or Playboy appearance. It is an actual crime that he served time for. On the upside, Dorit didn't raise the issue. It is yet AGAIN another issue of "shuddup, Teddi". JFC, Teddi is more useless that Cindy Barshop.

Let me get this straight....Dorinda wants to know all the dirty details of Tinsley's meeting with Scott in Canada when her castmates/friends found out about her break-up with John on Page Six? I sooo wish Tins were faster on her feet with come-backs. That's really Tins' downfall on this show, and I can't really fault her. I can be really intellectual (despite my posts here...lol) but I need a minute. But still...shit, the sainted Bethenny kept Dennis under wraps for ages before she copped to dating him back in S8. She was with him the bra party that season because he & John hung out at the bar below before John was summoned upstairs to be eviscerated by B. So Tins should be granted a reprieve from confrontation for a 3 day meeting where she doesn't know what direction it will go. The behavior at the restaurant was horrid: if you've got a table, sit your ass in the chair and order. I'm a nearly OCD hand-washer before a meal, but even if chips & salsa are before me, I won't head to the washroom until at least drink orders are taken. It's only courteous to your dining companions. There's always time for bathroom breaks, dick hunting, or drink-getting, but specials may run out. Be cognizant of your dining party, you fools! LOL...like any of these people eat. OK, thankfully @biakbiak dropped the knowledge on Bob, or "Courtland". Just an FYI, his fiance (the one he wants to have meals on the table by 6) is a reporter for OANN whom you can read about here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/oann-is-booted-from-white-house-press-room-after-correspondent-chanel-rion-makes-second-unauthorized-appearance/2020/04/01/ae27e19a-7439-11ea-85cb-8670579b863d_story.html

I need "The Soup" to cue the music for Unlikely Voice of Reason because that title would go to one Ramona Singer. There is a plethora of reasons I should hate her, but I can't. She was like Sonja on Scary Island level of sane this episode. As for Sonja, I think she was drunk, but I still think she likes to portray the wacky drunk person, so I'm not sure some of her performance wasn't amped up to that end. The whole "peeing in the cornfield" thing didn't bother me a bit. We've seen this for ages: Bethenny did it on her wedding day in an ice bucket, and she did it on the way to AC; a few Dallas women did it last season in Mexico; there were some OC women who pissed on the Whistler mountains. I'm sure I'm leaving some out. I'm not gonna get pissed at these ladies needing to piss, or I'd have checked out many, many seasons ago. Leah's apartment reminded me a lot of my sister's first NYC abode, but that was Columbia student housing. Luann wasn't wrong (even though she hasn't had a place in the city in years). And that clear lucite "coffee table" was beyond sad, even for student housing. But we can't expect much from Leah, as she's got a *brand* that has fewer options than the Rinna children's does. Tinsley needs to hang with Martin more. Even if he calls her Tinsdale...because that's fuckin' appropriate, with Dale being her mother and warden. Really don't care if Lu drinks or not. And that brings me to Dorinda. Lots of people upthread have wondered what she'd do if she encountered some of the prolific "argue on their feet" ladies of Atlanta or Potomic. I'll tell you what she'd do: she'd ask them to hang up her coat. She has been a POS since her first season, when she relayed two stories of her mistaking POC for service workers or beggars and when she berated John in an Italian restaurant (she was wearing her first season trademark red plaid skirt) for being too familiar. That shit ain't grief. That's who she is. And if she really was Susan Sharon, she's been that way since she was married to Lynch. Furthermore, she's on the backside of the curve, at 55, to be blaming anything on menopause. She's using her grief, maybe in part for Richard, but mostly for her dead life style (therwise, she wouldn't have shot at Nello, an overpriced shithole) for her reaction. And that's not to take away from any viewer's reaction to her grief...I get that sympathetic vibe...but I find Dorinda so manipulative about her loss that I can't get sad for her any more. And if Tinsley is as memorable as a dissolvable mint in her mouth, why get so torqued up about her? Just ignore. However, and maybe this post will seem like evidence to the contrary, I still want to know where these ladies go, what they do, and how they fightt. It's far better that BH...there I don't really care. They are all shtty actors, and that's it. With these women, I only suspect about 15-20% acting. BH is about 85-90%

How some of y'all feel about Wiig, I feel about Martin Short, times a million. I was watching on demand, so I couldn't FF, but seriously....I cannot deal with him and now have a very low opinion of Heidi for being in that sketch with him. (I know that's not fair, but it is what is.) Whatever the future holds, I kinda want this show to stay "at home". Aside from the Eddie Murphy and John Mulaney eps, these have been the best of the season. They could have done a dozen more, given their unaired at home segments vs the live shows.
