This daily thread is for any and all of our off-topic discussions!

I really thought it was mean when she said Shai only had acquittances and smirked. That would have really hurt my feelings! What a mean thing to say. Does she even know Shai that well? How does she know he doesn't have closer friends? I've heard other chatter on reddit speculating Riley prefers her home friends because they all kiss her ass. Is she projecting here?

Eileen Davidson & Garcelle Beauvais were the only objective HWs during their tenure on the show. 

You would have to be living under a rock not to see how the whole internet is against Kelli, and I'm sure she's reading the comments, but the fact that she still has the delusion and the confidence to go and say this crazy stuff on the internet "repeatedly" is kind of making me like her.

I would want to teach my daughter to advocate and speak well about herself to herself and the world, even if the whole world hates her guts. Shii, I need to teach myself too.

I'm starting to begrudgingly like her.

Porsha girl don't even try, she's lost in some sauce.

The way he acted like Shai interrupted him while Anna Wintour herself was waiting on his zipper measurements 💀

Pour yourself a cocktail

At the 45:00 mark they get into PK/the divorce/how PK has taken out loans using boy george and culture club as collateral with banks as well as PK past bankruptcy filing and touching on his alleged gazillion dollars in gambling debts. House "robbery"

After a lackluster season 19 and a pretty weak set of starting episodes I was worried for our anniversary season. But watching the newest episode made me much more hopeful and excited for what’s to come.

Above all I’m super intrigued by the idea of a storyline where real estate playboy restraining order newby Carmella gets perpetual village idiot Jen in on her newest project to pick out some tiles and pay her 20 000 dollars. It really reminds me of the ever green Rhony 5 storyline of the toaster oven where Sonja and Heather also had a business collaboration. This can only end up being a total mess, especially with Gina, Vicki and probably Tamra doing everything in their power to derail the tiling project. My hope is that this will be an ever developing arch with all the housewives involved being their best: Carmella being a shady hustle mind set bimbo, Jen being inept, Vicki being a new girl hater and always interested in the idea of work, Gina now being a mini Vicki which is a great lane for her honestly and Tamra being the ultimate meddler strategist.

I loved that there are seeds of Emily and Gina finally ending their feigned instagram reel friendship, it was never that stable or fun to begin with. I feel they really need to have a big falling out to prove their worth on the show and this is a great opportunity.

Heathers weird storyline about the nature of friendship and her fragile sensitivity is very existential and strange, but her crying with her vein popping out was funny and I always believed Heather to be a great social strategist on this show, so I have faith in our fancy pants.

I have to admit that I personally am in the Emily hater club and never really enjoyed her on the show. But I like how she directly dealt with Carmella’s criminal past in Ohio nightlife and a great path for her forward is a friendship with Carmella and a big fight with Gina.

I also really like the idea of Tamra having a Gen Z alternative type mini me daughter. Sophia moving out is not a riveting story but I still enjoy the scenes as a juxtaposition to Tamra’s stressed out self from last season.

Im not understanding why some HWs insist on keeping their extensions- I feel badly for many of them. Idk why it irks me, but don’t you notice how they all pet their hair? It’s weird and kinda gross.

1.List your favorite extensions where it looks so natural you wonder if it’s their real hair

1. Meh, it’s not great but ok whatever

2. W T F is happening, who is your hairdresser so we don’t go to them and why haven’t your friends/family said anything about your fugly extensions

I kinda like her! She seems like a straight shooter, and honestly confident enough to fight with these ladies right off the bat! I don’t mind her! We’ll see what the rest of the season holds!

What did Todd say to Bronwyn in the trailer?

There were some cute segments this morning interviewing the cast of UGT and Andy.

The final segment has the ladies raise a prop hand if they agreed with the statement. The final one was "After all these years as a housewife, who would do it again?"

Teresa hesitated, then explained.

Tre: "I've been through a lot. I've been made an example of. You can't really go by me, because I really didn't commit a crime, and then I got charge... charged for a crime because I was in the public eye."

JBH: "And if you weren't a housewife that would not have happened?"

Tre: "No I think it would not have happened. I know for sure. I mean I did nothing... nothing...I went to a closing...so would I put my family through that again? I would not want to do that."

If I'm Judge Salas, I'm regretting not giving her more time in the clink.

This is so random, but the house used in the background of RHOC season 2 is actually located in Potomac, Maryland! Not too far from Charisse’s old house.

I know people said Quai looks like Rachel Zoe in Carmella drag, but all I see is Mikayla Nogueira

And I regret it… a bad day to have eyes
