Rewatch Revelation: Joe was the one in competition with Teresa, not Melissa.

Rewatch Revelation: Joe was the one in competition with Teresa, not Melissa.

I did a rewatch this spring/summer and realized Melissa was just kinda the middle man and caught all the strays. She kept taking it and taking it, then she had enough at a certain point. How I saw it was “If you are gonna say I am this way all the time, I might as well act that way!!!” Also, Joe was the one that told the cameras to film the day of the Christening NOT Teresa. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 how did I miss that information during the first viewing? Sure, Melissa wanted to be on 🎶DISPLAY🎶 as a pop star and probably wanted to be on the show… (who wouldn’t?) but she wasn’t in the same lane as Teresa at all, she really was just trying to support her husband and got dragged into it. Right? Wrong? My initial impression was Melissa was coming in between them and now I can’t believe I ever thought that. Joe, literally wants to be Teresa at times- he never thought it was weird to just be the only husband on stage? 🤣🤣🤣 never thought “no, no, let me sit this out.” Anyways, after this rewatch, I am happy they are coming back… are you guys happy they are currently filming? Did you think they needed more time to reconnect and reconcile off camera? Or do you not care in the slightest bit?

I thought this was an Olive Garden at first, then maybe Great Wolf Lodge...

...no, just a manufactured home enclosed in Home Depot on clearance stones.

Is anyone else getting rejections instead of screen outs in the last couple days?

Last night I took a study, said I was rejected via message— but I should’ve been screened out and then it switched to returned. Today I took another study with “in study screening”, the rejection stuck, the researcher isn’t responding. I am sure it will be returned by Prolific, but it makes me a little hesitant to do anymore with pre-screening. Anyone else have this happen the last couple days?

For the people who enjoyed the “So Weird” Flanagan remake, let’s cast it. These are my picks.

even just taking the premise of being on a tour bus mixed with investigating the paranormal in each city would be so good.

Martha says "We're coming- watch this space." Ugh i'd die, maybe E! picked LOLNR up? Like OG RHONY.

Hear me out. What if Mike Flanagan rebooted "So Weird"?

Does anyone remember this show? I always thought the premise was original and haven't seen something like it since. The original series followed teenage Fiona “Fi” Phillips as she traveled across the country on a tour bus with her rock star mother, Molly Phillips. Along the way, Fi investigates urban legends, paranormal events, and unexplained mysteries at each stop. A Flanagan version could keep the road trip premise, but turn each stop into an atmospheric horror story while building toward a greater mystery.

If Mike Flanagan were to adapt So Weird, he would likely transform it from a family paranormal adventure show into a no-boundaries, character-driven supernatural horror drama focused on grief, memory, faith, guilt, and generational trauma. All of which was touched on in the original show. Using horror to explore family, loss, and the things we inherit from the people who came before us. Flanagan does this so well.

I think making it look very late 90s / early 2000s with modern tech, almost like we cannot tell what decade it is, similar to It Follows or Bates Motel, would be so good. Am I the only one who sees this vision? Probably.

I need to know. Do we like Shamea? Or do we not like her?

If y’all like her, then my Housewife picker is officially broken. I think she has crazy eyes. She looks empty inside, and I honestly believe Porsha is telling the full truth about her.

She annoyed me, and others if I remember correctly even as a “Friend Of”, so I was shocked when they made her full-time. Then they went a step further and started featuring her more than half the cast.

And can we talk about the outfits? Shamea is giving glam stud. Prince cover band couture. Bootleg Grace Jones. I actually love androgyny when it’s done well, but this just isn’t landing the way she clearly thinks it is. She is not giving what she thinks she’s giving. Nothing is authentic, even when she’s giving us a moment of “vulnerability” it’s played up and out. LIKE WE GOT IT GIRL, WE SEEEEE THE TEARS, WE HEAR THE SNIFFLES, you can stop being so obvious.

SPOILER: >! at the end of the new episode, shes crying and you cant see her from outside the dark tour bus they have for the girls trip, you can just hear her hot mic and she’s whimpering and sniffling… she turns on the dome light so the cameras can get a visual of her sobbing !< 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂 girl stop that.

Sign the Petition, Martha Sitwell said so. 😩😩😩

In the current lackluster Bravo world that is giving us bootleg new RHONY, The City, and The Mcbees (who is honestly watching that?) we need Ladies of London back on our TV’s.

The heart, horror, and soul of a Mike Flanagan project, he really should adapt this into a mini series.

All the pieces fit perfectly into the Flanagan universe.

Alicia is not an idiot, they keep giving her the airhead edit…

.. you know the one they give Lisa Barlow, Sonja, and Teresa. I mean, it’s funny, I love it— but I see her in interviews or online talking, she is quite intelligent and quick witted.

Anyway, I love her, she’s hysterical and I hope she pulls a Bethenny and starts a snack brand called “Crack-uhz!” and the first flavor is pizza chips.

What the fuck is going on? The quality used to be so good. They're leaving the parts we have to discard, which makes it heavier for pricing. Aldi, we were rooting for you; we were all rooting for you. I thought the trachea was a tapeworm.

I am not a full-time Erika Jayne fan, definitely not the kind who believes she can do no wrong. I think some of the things she has said during her court debacle are ridiculous and entitled, but my view of her exists in a gray area; it is not black and white. I do not believe she is “inherently cold.” I think her heart simply isn’t on her sleeve, and it takes her a while to show it. I believe most of us agree to that here.

And if what I believe is true, it would be even sadder.

John “Shrek” McPhee, a 54-year-old retired U.S. Army Special Operations Sergeant Major, has reportedly been dating Erika since around June 2025, and they seem very happy. Erika has described the relationship as a “peaceful rest” compared to her previous marriage.

I question whether this “peaceful rest” might come from something else. A bankruptcy court approved the sale of a $25 million lawsuit against Erika Jayne to a third party, LHA Land LLC, for $2 million. That kind of move suggests the buyer believes they can win significantly more and has proof. Given McPhee’s government connections, it raises the question.... How did she meet him????? Where did she meet him?? Could he be an informant?

I think she has genuinely been through a lot and may have chosen the wrong time to trust someone new. It becomes even more unsettling when you consider a moment from the HBO documentary Hollywood Demons: Housewives Gone Bad, where a lawyer said, “My wife was watching Housewives of New Jersey, and I saw how much Teresa Giudice was paying in cash, and I decided to look into it.” BITCH, WHAT!

So, public servants see women spending money on TV and feel compelled to investigate? Again, I’m not saying what Erika or Teresa did was right, but seriously, is that what this is now? A man works a 9-to-5 job, walks into his living room, sees his wife watching The Real Housewives, hates watches and gets so upset that he starts calling in favors to initiate an investigation? It feels quite excessive.

I believe Erika may not have known what was happening. She gives off a “do what you want, just leave me out of it” energy, someone who doesn’t want to know how the sausage is made, only to enjoy the result. That said, she shouldn't be raked through these streets for that. I think she should remain wary and guarded, because it seems like people are coming for her. It’s sad to watch, and I hope I’m wrong in my conspiracies. No one should have to deal with years of turmoil like this (well, if she truly didn't know what was going on)

Hopefully, all that the new man knows is her phone number and her drink order.

the reunion set seemed unusual. Typically, they choose a theme that mimics the cast trip from that season, but this time the theme was simply “Beverly Hills,” almost like an ode to the show and its potential end.

Maybe, Kyle wants her divorce to remain off camera, or maybe Andy wants her to help jump-start another city, like Aspen or Nashville.

If that is the case, I also predict a reboot of The Rachel Zoe Project to fill the need for that Beverly Hills aesthetic. Rachel does not need a full cast to carry a show. That could also open the door for Paris in Love to return with Kathy Hilton, while giving the other women opportunities to appear on The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip or The Traitors.

Anyone else feel as if it’s a last call for “Belvedere on the rocks, three lemons, carcuss out”? Something about it feels like an ending. Almost like they all know something but can’t say.

P.S I’d trade RHOBH for Tilly & Kathys version of The Simple Life
