I’m actually glad they’re asking about Gretchen and Slade’s finances—it is so clear to me what they’re doing and it kind of makes me crazy that no one just calls it out. (He works in her businesses but doesn’t draw a salary so they can hide income from his ex-wife.) #RHOC

What was Gretchen’s face while Slade was telling that story about Tamra’s “audio?” Like, she’s never heard this story? She’s so manufactured—I was tired of her when she left 11 years ago, and I’m tried again, after like half a season of her back. #RHOC

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Still cracks me up that Brittani was brought on #RHOSLC as Heather’s friend, and Heather continues to do the most vicious confessionals about her. So mean. So funny.

Man, Heather is still mad about that “good-time girl” thing from season 1. I’d love it if someone thought I was a good time girl. #RHOSLC

The #BlairWitch homage on #RHOSLC is an instance of my special interests crashing into each other in a beautiful pop culture explosion. Loving this.

Working on a theory that the #RHOSLC producers cast Brittani to make Heather seem less awkward.

Gretchen and Tamra both lose me when they apologize for doing extremely malicious things and follow it up with, “but I had no intention to hurt you…” Because the likelihood of taking without trying to hurt someone just seems vanishingly small…. #RHOC

Me describing the current drama on #RHOC to my husband: So the issue they’re talking about happened 19 years ago….

In season 3 of my #PrettyLittleLiars rewatch—some of the best episodes are in this season—but what happened to everyone’s hair? Even Emily’s insane mane is looking a little dry. And the Utah curls on everyone else, yeesh…

Rewatching #PrettyLittleLiars for the umpteenth time—which remains delightful but gets more problematic by the second. It’s a period where Aria is fighting with Fitz and Spencer is fighter with Toby, and I cannot help thinking how much better it would have been if they’d just dumped those losers.

Maybe it’s not clear because this is such an old story, but hasn’t Gretchen always intimated that Tamra might have slipped her more than booze at the naked wasted night? I don’t even blame Gretchen if she did, because that was such an ugly move, but this feels like a retcon kind of…. #RHOOC

I feel like Jax is so awful that it has moved the entire Overton window for how these guys should behave. What he did really sucked and I think it’s okay for Jasmine not to forgive him.

I think Nia’s habit of talking for Danny might impede his attempts to make things right with Jasmine. #TheValley

Martin Short is hilarious and a national treasure, but I realize that years of watching #RuPaul’sDragRace has made me wildly overestimate how funny The Match Game could be.

I don’t consider myself a rabid patriot but I’m halfway through the second episode of this season’s #Taskmaster and they are 💯 rigging it against the delightful American on the cast.

Ooooohhhhh…. It really, really does. No wonder she doesn’t care about the job!

It is pretty rich that Solene thinks Jess should only be thinking of her when she’s gotten with a full three quarters of the deck team at this point. I honestly thought she was a free spirit who would have honored folks enjoying the same freedom she does. #BelowDeck

Even better than watching that obnoxious guest thrown off the boat on #BelowDeck is seeing all her “friends” talk about how glad they are that she’s gone.

Georgia and Charlie are two sides of the same coin. Georgia saying she isn’t privileged because she only has $4,000 in her bank account—hoo boy…. #NextGenNYC

Someone needs to do a study on parentification using the footage of Gia Giudice on #RHONJ and #NextGenNYC as source material. The way she talks to Teresa in RHONJ is lauded and deemed “mature”, but when she takes the same tone with her peers in NextGenNYC, the effect is very different.

To my own surprise, bingeing #NextGenNYC and I’m not hating it. I do think it’s hilarious at the Jersey Shore when Gia is like, “Leave the kid alone!” about the oldest dude at the table.

It’s just super dark, and I’m very far afield from most of the fanbase with my opinions on the cast/storylines. So I feel alone in the dark :).

One of the problems with Lois Lane as a character in previous movies is that she’s supposed to be super smart, but not smart enough to figure out that a coworker she sees everyday is Superman. Just establishing that she knows gives her character so much more credibility and realism.

This season of The Valley is making me google when Selling Sunset comes back…

I think a lot about how my congressman Dan Goldman is a scion to a massive family fortune and he could probably personally contribute a bunch of money to save PBS and NPR but instead he sends out fundraising emails like "check it out I joined Truth Social and dunked on Trump!!"

!!!

If they had gotten married, his ex could have gone after Gretchen’s earnings for his support obligation.

I think it’s hilarious that Gretchen is trying to gloat about the other women being wrong when they called her engagement fake when she and Slade are still not married, and it’s very clear they had no intention of marrying. Because then he might have had to pay child support. #RHOC

Between Ryan and Katie and Gretchen, it’s like ignoring red flags is Jen’s job. #RHOC
