Quick, someone check my vitals! Is Dawn Ward actually somewhat likeable this season?!?! Only took 11 of them! Must be due to cutting back the alcohol 😂

What I found to be quite the contrast was watching the talent disparity between Mercedes Mason's overacting of Cora with her numerous, intense facial expressions and Amirah Vann's seemingly easy perfection as Tegan, who was completely believable throughout their scenes.

I'm really tired of Ester. Tanya has become my favorite; who knew that would happen?? Oh wait, she's the only OG left who isn't Dawn Ward.

I can't even take Kyle when she's sober.

My favorite scene was when Michaela came back to the house and screaming at Laurel. That was sooooo necessary and long-overdue!

Looked like they used Rockwool insulation, so no need to dry out or replace it.

I just caught-up on this mess after I forgot about this show back in October. Yikes! Where to go from here? I don't really see much in the way of untold story. This show could end now without any loose ends, and it probably should.

Interesting, because I used to watch *Mob Wives* (RIP Big Ang), and I immediately thought the woman in black had the same exact "Mafia Princess" look as Renee Graziano and Big Ang; that's where I thought they were going with that.

Finally caught up with the last 3 episodes. Wow! This series was probably the most contrived and least interesting series to date for me! So much of their real drama happens off-camera, and what we get to see is some very contrived nonsense, almost as bad as the Little Women drama. That reunion! So everyone hates Perla, but I didn't really get to see that much prior to the reunion. Don't quite understand how we got here, and it seems to involve a lot more than Tanya being drunk (allegedly). What's up with Dawn walking off at the end? Has she quit? She's my favorite love-to-hate, and I can't see the show without her. I still really miss Ampika.

...and that's exactly why it isn't the same as a lame teenaged comeback; Heavenly knows this, and she's totally bringing it up on purpose to imply Mariah is trash.

Well, many of the "name" families seem to invite LeeAnne to things, even when they don't have to. If that isn't some kind of acceptance, then I don't know what is.

LeeAnne was born in a trailer park and grew up with carnies, but she's accepted into "society" because she knows how to behave at charity events. Brandi showing up so drunk she was literally swaying and then trying to provoke a confrontation with LeeAnne at a charity event? That's going to get tongues wagging anywhere, not just Dallas "society."

What a mess. I can't even keep track of all the made-up reasons to fight; they've all spent this season arguing over literally *nothing*. I don't care about Perla, Hannah, Ester, Nermina, or Seema--do any of them have storylines? Dawn is amped-up this season; what substance is she abusing to be behaving this way? Frankly, that's the most interesting thing about this season for me...yikes!

Are these ladies all on meth this season? Picking fights left, right and center for no reason whatsoever. This series is about as over-produced as the *Little Women* now. Oh and producers? John isn't a good enough actor to pull off the Shady Husband trope, which is why he just stares confused and blank whenever Rachel confronts him about his made-up "secret" whatever. God I miss the days of Ampika, who could be over-the-top without being so damn contrived.

I'm completely over Ester and Perla. Total producer plants to be chaos agents. If Dawn would stop running-off castmates, there's be no need for this nonsense.
