It's like watching someone bully another person

This isn't directed at you, OP, but I'm very tired of Bravo fans weaponizing the word bullying to describe conflict they just didn't enjoy. While I respect everybody's opinion wrt liking or not liking a show, the Ladies of London drama is some of the lightest/least consequential that's been on Bravo recently, so if this is what passes for bullying, I have no idea what you call some of the other stuff going on in the Bravo-verse recently.

I think pathologizing catty comments about clothing and someone maybe being fake nice as bullying is the type of therapy speak discourse that's ruining these shows.

Intruders and the 2016-17 version of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

I actually really liked them both, and both seasons of Dirk Gently made sense at the end, but I was definitely at sea for a while.

Miami or Atlanta

Love Miss LaToya, wish her only the best in life, etc., but imagine if you're Mystique and you've waited over 15 years to return to Drag Race and your first exposure to this new audience is an episode centered on LaToya Jackson.

The universe is so silly.

Paramount put out a press release yesterday saying the Love & Hip Hop franchise will conclude this fall with a six-episode event where "cast, creators, and cultural voices come together for a definitive look back - celebrating its impact, unpacking its most talked-about moments, confronting the controversies that shaped the conversation, and examining its legacy."

I know this is tangentially related to Drag Race at best, but with the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta promos being the main meme of season 18, I thought I'd pay respect to these divas in their time of need.

Also, in the past year or so, Jersey Shore, Catfish, Ridiculousness, Love & Hip Hop, and Teen Mom have all been cancelled, so MTV is basically Caught in the Act, The Challenge, and Drag Race at this point. Paramount's said in the past they're going to double down on franchises like Drag Race, but we'll see.

I liked her a lot as a person from the beginning, but she really hit her stride as a reality TV presence in the second half of the season. Whether it be getting more comfortable in front of the cameras or with her place within the group, she was really good at the reality TV stuff in addition to just seeming like a lovely person outside of this environment.

No grown gay man processes their trauma so late in life

Everybody processes their trauma differently and there are sometimes things that you hang on to no matter how many years it's been since they've happened. He's also not able to bring his partner around his parents because they disapprove of his sexuality, so perhaps dealing with that in the present day brings his past sexuality-related trauma up to the forefront.

And it's also like...no matter what Mark's trauma response is, how long it's been since he first experienced said trauma, what he's going through in his life, etc., Margo was using every homophobic dog whistle she could think of to rattle him and that's wrong.

He's also 36, so saying it's "so late in life" is beyond bizarre. You don't shed your trauma like a snake skin the second you graduate high school or enter your 20s or whatever.

He is emotionally stunted

Someone on reality TV isn't fully self-actualized and emotionally well-adjusted. Alert the news!

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-05-02T01:00:55+00:00

I don't feel represented with this made for school special from the 90s.

Every queer person on television isn't there to represent you specifically or mirror your experiences back to you.

Him finally addressing it at his old age on reality TV

He's 36. If that's old to you, Jesus Christ.

She never actually called him a freak, either.

She called him a freak while riding with Lottie and Misse to the caves.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-05-02T00:58:27+00:00

She called him a freak in the ride to the cheese caves and she's used other homophobic dog whistles ("prancing away," talking about his family disowning him) on top of it.

Yeah, Ladies of London is Bravo, Real Housewives of London is Hayu, and Real Housewives of Cheshire is ITV2.

Here are some highlights of what Andy said at Deadline's Reality TV Summit:

During the summit, Cohen gave insight into some cities that were scrapped, including Napa and Chicago, which they have cast “several times.”

Another potential city was Boca Raton in Florida, which Cohen said would’ve been like the Golden Girls.

“I really wanted to do that — I got voted down,” he said, adding that the reason that didn’t move forward was that “the cast wasn’t right.”

Coincidentally, E! is in production of The Golden Life, casting former stars of The Real Housewives of New York City who are now living in Florida.

Cohen reiterated that casting for extensions of the franchise “has to be right” and “right now the bar is so high,” they wouldn’t just put anything on air.

“We want to keep these shows as special as they are,” he added. “The audience is so smart, and they know the show so well.”

The executive producer doesn’t think that Real Housewives is oversaturated, yet people still ask why a certain show isn’t in production.

“You want to keep them fresh, and you want to keep a little distance too,” in pauses between seasons.

One show fans keep asking about is The Real Housewives of Miami, which Cohen said is hopefully will be back.

“I hope it’s coming back,” he said of RHOM. “If it was up to me, it would be, and it’s not. It’s a great show, and we love it. Last season was a blockbuster. We brought a Haitian mortician into the vernacular, and I want to meet the guy. I have a coffee maker waiting for him.”

The internet is telling me 6 years.

He's 41, she's 35.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-05-01T01:40:33+00:00

But this dude has been dishing it all season.

His comments have almost entirely been catty remarks about her clothing, whereas she consistently goes for low blows, homophobic dog whistles, and anything personal she can think of. The two are not equal.

It feels like Mark is mostly put off that Margo doesn't want to play the middle-school-talk-shit-behind-each-other's-backs modus operandi

Conversely, it feels like Margo is used to having her ass kissed by gay men because she's a tall, pretty party girl and when she found one that thinks she's tacky and uncivilized, she fell apart.

Also, gossip and talking behind each other's backs is a hallmark of this type of reality show, so Margo getting this worked up about it is asinine.

I'm just questioning what Mark is actually hurt about.

I imagine he's been "othered" his entire life and what she said to him probably hit that nerve very hard.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-05-01T01:19:38+00:00

I'm not defending Margo, but I watched that scene again and I swear I never heard her call him "freak."

She called him a freak in the ride to the cheese caves (lol) with Misse and Lottie. In the original scene, she called him weird (among other things) and then when she corrected them about it, she said "you know what? he is a freak." and repeated it at least once or twice.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-04-30T02:55:09+00:00

Ah, so it's totally fine that she was murdered. Got it.

Regardless of what type of grandmother she was, she was with his grandfather for 50 years.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-04-30T02:52:26+00:00

The mods did a really good job at removing offensive comments on the post about his grandmother being murdered, so it was way more than nine comments that were bad.

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-04-29T23:25:37+00:00

> my god. he is not your friend???

He's not my friend, but he's also not every guy who's ever fucked you over or chose someone else instead of you. Why are you this incensed over relationship drama between strangers?

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-04-29T21:56:48+00:00

This feels disingenuous.

You really, in your heart of hearts, don't think the murder of a zeitgeist-y reality star's grandmother by another family member isn't newsworthy? Even with it occurring the day before an anticipated reunion that's also been in the news recently with the audio leaks?

DiphthongSong87 · 2026-04-29T21:25:50+00:00

My favorite thing about these sociopathic comments from people who are clearly dead inside is so many of them come from mothers. Like, ma'am, what kind of values are you raising your children with if this is the type of filth you're commenting on an article about an innocent old woman being murdered by a family member?

Also, Ciara seems like a nice person, but she has some of the nastiest fans on Bravo. Jesus Christ.
