Sweet-tea

She is so checked out and doesn't participate in many of the events. She shows disdain for the cast members outside of a few. I don't understand why the producers would want her as a full-time cast member.

I can't imagine having a giant picture of myself on the wall, even if my husband was also in the picture. I was surprised at this. She looks really skinny to me. As you said, it looked like skin, not fat. The problem with this show is it was built around them working at one of Lisa's restaurants, yet most of them don't work there anymore. So the interactions seem artificial and strictly for TV. I guess this isn't unlike the HW shows, but somehow on here, it's more glaring to me.

Also seems like he is resentful that Scheana will only let her mother care for Summer when they are away. These two are headed for trouble if they don't resolve this issue. Why did Raquel go back to being called Rachel? Did I miss something? It wasn't a good exchange between them, but Scheana can also be controlling and critical. She wasn't very nice to him in a later discussion about the pink clothes. I get it. He screwed up the laundry, but talking to him like that won't serve her well. She sounded like his mother, and men don't like that.

I just watched this Hulu special (Skinny Confessions: After Ozempic) featuring Heather. Wow! Her face looks so different. I don't just think it's weight loss. She's getting the Instagram face.

Same for me. I fast-forward through a lot of it. Joey was over Maria. Did anyone notice his expression after she told him she was in love with him? I knew then she was done. I'm calling Daisy and Kelsey as final two with Kelsey being Joey's pick. I don't Joey and Rachel have much chemistry. He seems really into Kelsey though. And I agree her dad is hot. Next GB because he's not as old either. I think he's a better age for it, early 50s?

She didn't even look that upset when Mia called her a gold digger. She knows it's true. Same for Mia.

I noticed this and thought the same thing. Are they bigger than her previous implants? I don't recall her breasts being this large. Michael didn't have a problem being on the show for a few seasons. I guess he doesn't like it when he can't control the narrative (not that he did a good job of it previously). Was Mia a stripper or not? Why is she dancing around it? Excuse my pun. I couldn't resist. It is weird how they make comments about Karen being with other men. If she and Ray were in a monogamous marriage, I don't see how those remarks wouldn't really upset him. Yet they have persisted for a few seasons. What is the deal with these two?

I was glad Dorit called Kyle out for this. If there is one benefit to this season, it is that Kyle’s mask dropped. We’ve seen her true colors. It’s be scary to look behind Kyle’s ears (and her sister, Kathy’s, too).

Is it true what Ann Marie said that in several states they don’t have to work under a doctor’s direction? If so that is surprising to me.

Agree. The segment irritated me. These women always need something to fight about. Sorry Anne Marie. Too late to try to redeem yourself. We don’t like you. Bye. I’m not understanding why Kathy is going to get a seat at the reunion when she wasn’t on this season. Erika, shut up. You’re no victim.

Right. i watched it so I don’t know why I forgot. Adriana was vicious to her.

I like Joey but Andrew Firestone and Brad Womack are still my favorite Bachelors. It might be my generation. I find Joey a bit too boyish.

Also called flying monkeys, soldiers for the narcissist.

Agree. I don’t believe this, especially because I read a story that said Brittany was “forced” to stay with Jax when she was on VP. So if she was drinking from the Bravo fountain then, I believe she would do it again.

I’m way behind watching this as I have to take it in small doses. I really like the cast and the idea, but the heavy-handed political agenda turns me off. I liked it more the first season when it was about the lead anchor sexually harassing employees, After that it veered off course and became preachy to me. But I want to see how it plays out so I keep watching. I like Jon Hamm and think he and Jennifer Aniston have great chemistry. Alex is a flawed but interesting character. I’m lukewarm on Stella. I just don’t see the great talent others see. Perhaps it’s the actor’s performance. Bailey can grate on my nerves. The word “strident” comes to mind. She and Laura don’t have much spark as a couple to me. I like Cory even though he can be a total jerk. I find him interesting to watch. The short jab from Paul was petty but realistic. I’ve heard men speak this way to each other. I know Paul is probably not a good guy (although he’s making a convincing argument to Alex) but confess I find him HOT! I can understand why Alex is attracted to him. I also like Chip and am bummed Alex fired him, but I saw it coming. I wonder what happened to Kate D. Is it me or is there something up with Jennifer Aniston’s face? in close up, she looks strange. Too much filler?

Tom filmed her so he first shared the video right? I don’t understand the part in the claim that said Raquel didn’t have an opportunity to tell her side of the story. She did a separate interview with Andy Cohen after the show. Most of us saw it. I could even make an argument that she was treated better, because she didn’t have to sit on the stage at the reunion and face the wrath of everyone else. Instead she got a one on one with Andy. Having said that, I do think Bravo milked the story for all its worth in pursuit of ratings. They didn’t care a lick about anyone’s mental health. We’ve seen this on the housewife shows too. Bravo is all about making money. People who go on these shows should be on guard. I expect they have to sign extensive releases/NDAs, which most gladly do in hopes of money and fame. Speaking of fame, here is one downside. A person can quickly move from famous to infamous.

And Kyle is an adult child of an alcoholic, so she needs to be careful. Adult children often end up with their own drinking problems, they marry alcoholics or they have some other kind of addiction. It’s discussed in the ACA literature. Look at Kim Richards .Kyle did say she didn’t like watching herself last season when she was drinking, particularly in one episode where she got aggressive with Sutton. Morgan may have been carving out a career for herself before RHBH, but it’s fair to say she’s gotten much more widespread publicity due to the show and her relationship with Kyle. I had never heard of her before. I expect this is true for many other people. I found Kyle hard to watch this season and had a difficult time sympathizing with her. I felt bad about her friend’s suicide but that was about it. I think she was horrible to Sutton, not very nice to Dorit and showed some narcissistic traits more openly than I’ve seen in previous seasons.

He’s giving me guy in his underwear opening the door for the cops vibes.

I’m underwhelmed by Jen. She wouldn’t be my pick. Few of the others really stand out to me either though. I also forgot who Rachel was!

Yep and she needs a storyline for next season. Will it be her rift with Kyle or more about her disintegrating marriage? I would rather it not be the Kyle story because that would mean Kyle is still on the show.

She looked rougher than she does on the show. I wonder if it was the lighting. Some of the outfits were so over the top they looked more like costumes to me. Nicole made some good points. I don't care what Marcus thinks about anything, and Larsa sounded ridiculous with the sex 5x a day comments. She is trying too hard.

I can believe Morgan was upset in the beginning but I also believe she has taken advantage of the publicity. She put Kyle in a one of her videos as her love interest. She has appeared on the show more than once and has been photographed with Kyle several times. So Morgan seems to know what she's doing. And I do still think Mauricio cheated, Kyle caught him and that started the changes in her appearance and behavior. Whatever the case, this story has been beaten to death. I'm about as weary of it as I am of seeing Taylor Swift and her boyfriend everywhere. I'd be fine if Kyle didn't return next season. Time to move on.

I liked her well enough before but after this I was hoping he'd let her leave. I don't think she'll make it to the final three. Joey seems like a nice guy but I'm not as into this season. I think it's the women. I guess if I had to choose, I'd want him to pick Kelsey.

Understand your opinion but mine differs. I’m not sure any medication is the answer. I’ve known plenty of successful people in recovery who are chemical-free. Regardless, I’m glad Layla seems to be doing well. I hope James can work it out with Graham. The biting isn’t good.

I was surprised to learn Truman had a relationship with the murderer from In Cold Blood. Talk about compromised ethics of a writer. He also took a lot of creative license in the book, referring to it as a non-fiction novel or something like that. An oxymoron.
