This show is pretend and they’re throwing us crumbs

the entire drama at *seder dinner felt so performative.

I wonder how many times Hailey is gonna cry about being in the tabloids a decade ago, or how many times carole is gonna tell us she didn’t watch love story.

I clocked Hailey trying to land her own version of Dorinda’s eagle-pigeon line, but it didn’t work. I know she is the most interesting but it seems like she’s only willing to rehash old drama the world already knows. I don’t think people should join this show if they are not willing to show their partners/home life.

Jessel‘s high-class silly girl routine is also kind of confusing to me? Does she work? How do they afford their lifestyle if her husband is a food influencer?

I do see a few storylines so far but fear this cast is way to camera aware to talk about them. *cough, cough* daisy’s drinking…didn’t she say she keeps alcohol in the fridge in her sons room? Or Erika and her husband, in the scene last week, i cant shake one of the looks she gave him.

i’m also having a hard time making sense of sai’s divorce bc her persona the last few seasons was clearly a lie and I feel like she’s only revealing tiny bits about what led to the breakdown of her marriage besides having to cover the family financially. it makes me wonder if she was always the breadwinner or if he just stopped trying to provide for them and essentially checked out of the marriage.

Porsha did not want to keep moms out of the drama when she tried to drag Dennis’ mom 👀

Porsha has undeniable charm. She is funny and so much fun. I think she is excellent in the right ensemble cast, as we’ve seen on RHUGT and early RHOA seasons, however, the last season I really struggled to get behind the Porsha and Friends dynamic that developed among the cast.

I think Bravo has done some work to sort of sanitize her image after her altercations with Kenya, Cynthia, her assistant, Dennis’ mom on Porsha Family Matters, and even the “I’d f— Charles incident.

Though, as a long-time watcher, I really struggle because there is no in this cast who can or is willing to challenge what she says, or the history of how she operates on housewives. For example, we needed someone on the show to say she wanted the moms to stay out of the drama—but she was fine throwing plates, a tripod, and trying to drag Dennis’ mom.

I’m not saying I’d ever want her off this show, she makes an excellent housewife, but the cast dynamics could be a little less one sided to at least acknowledge who we’ve known her to be when it comes to her on-camera history. I think It would make for a much interesting dynamic and feel less like a pile on.

Get into this GoSleek unit y’all

I’ve seen a few questions about GoSleek and I’ve wondered myself, so I’m doubling back because I have a little bit of experience and wanted to share. First, I purchased kinky straight clip-ins. Loved them, came full, were great quality, and super versatile.

Since I was happy with the quality of the clips ins, I ordered a half wig unit.

The hair is full, soft, and has no smell. It’s a 12-inch deep curly unit and without stretching the hair it’s already measuring 14/15 inches, so they’re not skimping.

I purchased this unit to have the versatility of wearing the wig straight and curly (it can be blow dried and flat ironed and reverts back when washed).

I ordered a couple of other wigs last week before buying this one (iseehair, amazon, etc) and the quality, texture, and construction of this unit is light years ahead.

The state of the fandom

I’ve been watching bravo/real housewives for 20 years and have really enjoyed the journey and—for the most part— the discourse.

tho now that I’m getting older I find myself confused by how polarizing the fandom has become when it comes to the things and people we‘re watching.

I know, I know— this is really not new but I don’t remember it always being this way and sometimes can’t make sense of it. wondering if the attitudes toward the show are becoming more extreme bc American culture has shifted, if it’s brought in a younger wave of fans that are more die hard, maybe a bit of both, or something else?

Am I supposed to feel a pop?

have been doing galvanic and can’t wrap my mind around if the hairs are being eliminated or not. I’m early in treatment and have more hair than when I started (maybe bc I no longer tweeze)

but my electrolysis says it’s normal to feel a pop when she’s removing a hair and that as long as the white ball is at the end when she pulls it, that it’s eliminated. is this true?

It's easier for Janet and Jason to throw stones because they don't reveal much...

Either they are the most boring couple in the world, or their outward presentation on this show is a bit produced because I don't know anything about their real relationship.

Have they revealed anything about themselves I'm overlooking?

Angela, I like you but this ain't it

She is going out of her way to keep this imaginary beef with Shamea going. I never understood why she had so much smoke for Shamea for laughing at Porsha saying she'd sleep with Charles but only had minimal smoke for Porsha.

Now, she is still holding onto Shamea taking accountability.....for....laughing? GTFOH.

I'd respect her more if she just said she thinks Shamea is lame, doesn't like her, or is still salty about those comments about her nose job. Just own it, Ms. Oakley.

I really like Angela but she is doing the most to keep a faux beef going.

I think this cast has valid reasons to have an issue with Shamea but at this point, it's giving a pile on and starting to look silly. Shamea could breathe and they'd say she is too loud.

And yes, I know i'm about to be downvoted to hell by these Go Naked bots™, but I said what I said.

Gizelle is one of the most overrated OG Housewives of any franchise

looking back she has consistently provided very little. she is basically tamra but with less personality.

no storylines

no humor

weak shade

merely exists to stir the pot or move everyone else’s storyline along.

most of gizelles most memorable moments are of other people dragging her. exp: her dads iconic hot mic moment. am i wrong?

Can I be real for a minute?

First, I don’t believe any of Porsha’s relationships are real. Mike was obviously hired and all of her photos/interactions with Sway seem produced and it’s givin PR relationship.

Porsha loves three things: Pilar, money, and Dennis— and in that order, so if she’s not putting her time into one of these things, I don’t believe it. I’m exhausted with her fake storylines.

Now, I kind of enjoyed this cast but I do think something is missing. Angela disappointed me this season with her lies that made absolutely no sense and I don’t love how it’s becoming Porsha and Friend vs Shamea because I hate a gang up and it’s not entertaining.

I just cannot root for someone like Porsha because I‘ve watched her for too long to believe this pretend growth she is trying to present and I think this show could really benefit from someone to come on here and call her out on her BS.

At the end of the day, I think it’s against my code to see a THOT win and I need world order to be restored 🤣

update: and don’t come over here talking about shaming. I’m a slut from the 90s and I didn’t know what a thot was until Porsha said she was the princess of thotland. this is LIGHT shade!

This might be unpopular but does it matter that Jax is dating his publicist?

Feels like an attention grab and move to claw at the press from JAX, imo.

Aren't Jax and Brittany separated? Doesn't she hate him? This is JAX we're talking about, and nothing he ever does is anything higher than scummy. I get it being a storyline on the show, but I don't understand all the interviews from Brittany. Especially since they both have a very documented history of dabbling in one another's social circles. Of course, we all expect the professional relationship to be over at this point, and I absolutely get the pain, but the response is reading like they were still in a relationship when it happened.

Unless there is something Britt is not telling us....

I'm just tired of this man using his antics to keep her on an emotional rollercoaster and feel like she should pay him dust.

Is this 16x16 inch pot a good size for this tree?

says it’s a 3 gallin semi-dwarf bearss lime tree. The pot measures 16 x 16 inches. Also, could I keep it in the plastic container for another 1-2 months and just keep it hydrates until I’m ready to move it or is that a bad idea?

Can I have your best suggestions for finding, vetting, and trialing a babysitter?

I have pre-schoolers who have never had a babysitter outside of family here and there. My goal is to find someone who can care for them some weekday afternoons and evening so I can regain a tiny bit of independence now that they’re transitioning to pre-school/kinder.

The problem is that I am an anxious person and semi-prone to distrusting people. My kids are more verbal now and can kind of give me an idea of what happens, so I’m thinking I may be comfortable finding a high school or college student who likes kids?

Good idea? Bad idea? Would love to hear suggestions on how to accomplish this and some guardrails to put in place so everyone feels comfortable.

i have a 7-month deadline because I bought theatre tickets 😅

thanks!!

I read that bra as shade

Phaedra took me out gifting Kelli a proper under garment. Now I understand why her shirts are super tight, she is overcompensating because she doesn’t have on a proper foundation.

Also made me cackle a little that she contested the size 🤣🤣

Need advice, hair regrowth and deep ingrown hairs after treatment

I’ve been targeting roughly 15-20 scattered thick hairs that I’ve had issues with on my chin and cheeks because of tweezing.

I’m familiar with the areas because I have hyperpigmentation in the spots because of plucking. I’m on my 4th session but the hairs keep growing back. the first few times the spots that were treated were immediately firm after treatment. I told my tech and started using glycolic acid to clear my pores in between.

now the spots are no longer hard but the hair is still growing and I’m developing deep ingrown postules on my cheeks where hairs were treated from the hair regrowing.

what is going wrong here? I’m using galvanic not thermolysis.

Starting to feel like Jasmine isn't allowed to have an opinion

Saw a couple of people jumping on Jasmine for talking to Michelle about something Jesse kind of pulled her into. Jesse also kind of had a point about Michelle introducing Isabella to the revolving door of men she is dating. I didn't think it was that big of a deal that Jasmine talked to Michelle about it since Jesse talked to her about it.

I just think it's a really interesting case study in who's allowed to insert themselves since Janet has literally single-white-female'd Jasmine's experience. Still, Jasmine gets dragged as soon as she brings up something someone just told her.

And before people claim Jasmine was "heated" or "aggressive," I watched the video, and she was kind of chill about it until that random friend started yelling at her. Viewers and cast seem to be having selective outrage over who inserts themselves in situations.

I complained about her all season

This is my first Kelgai Ann bloom. This plant has given me trouble all season. I complained to everyone with ears about how weak and feeble her stems were and had given up all hope of seeing any decent blooms.

I went away for a week and while I was gone her stake broke and the stem bent all the way to the ground but still didn’t break. When I pulled her up this beautiful bloom sat at the tip.

she‘s proof that these beauties are a lot more resilient than I give them credit for.
