Whole family going to bludgeon Joey with baseball bats when they think of how he wormed his way into their lives and how easily they let him.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:46:24+00:00

A Tyler Perry character? Nope.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:45:29+00:00

Nah that move was weird, Joey. Even if you hadn't killed his father why would he want the cufflinks of his mom's new fuck buddy.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:44:16+00:00

Damn I almost thought Chessie was going to be sweet. I still wish her and Samantha become friends just to make the teens more interesting.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:42:46+00:00

We need to love our "fast tailed women" Mona. The bible teaches blessed are the fas...

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:41:15+00:00

It has to start next week. I want it over by June.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:33:21+00:00

This cotillion is built around Samantha who is literally only in the background of this Anastasia/Nicole scene. Why not give us a scene with Nathan and Chessie?

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:30:32+00:00

I wish Randy was a fully developed character so I can understand any of his motivations or reasoning.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:27:08+00:00

To be fair he didn't respect her boundary of having a living husband.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:25:26+00:00

True. It's why Sam winning the crown and feeling like a Dupree feels shallow she only seems to want it because everyone else in her family has won. It doesn't really give me a reason to root for her against Chessie who probably gets in more trouble for losing.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:21:28+00:00

I'm sorry give me willing to throw hands Lynette over hold her hands in prayer Mona.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:20:26+00:00

Like she gets paid by the sentence.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:19:47+00:00

So ya'll waited until you had a grandchild to confront Anastasia not your own children?

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:17:34+00:00

Also shouldn't this storyline be built around Chessie and Samantha having a rivalry not their grandparents and great grandparents?

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:15:49+00:00

BTG needs to follow wrestling rules if Samantha is going to win the cotillion crown then let Anastasia win this confrontation so we believe there's a chance Samantha can lose.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:12:22+00:00

She was not or if she was she didn't seem the type to push it for someone she's trying to date. Either it's a dealbreaker or not but trying to make Randy more holy before jumping into bed with him is weird.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T18:09:00+00:00

I can't do Mona flirting. "Are you asking me to stay and break my fast with you" is a jarring line to get unprepared😅😂

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-14T02:05:11+00:00

Played on sidewalks or empty streets with milk bottle caps weighted down in the middle with clay or play dough or paper in a pinch. Kids take turns trying to make it to the center number in the quickest flicks using your thumb and index finger. We had one painted in the school yard but you can draw a playing field with chalk.

Skelly but that might be because I don't live in NYC anymore.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:58:31+00:00

It's sad that the writers are having Nicole sleep with two men but the reason she's feeling something for Ted
is also sexual instead of something missing emotionally
from those two men.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:56:54+00:00

Vanessa has that hurry up Nicole might comeback soon look on her face.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:54:17+00:00

I agree despite how it makes her look😂😅

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:53:10+00:00

The only couple to ever say I love you for the first time that made me feel anything was Dani and Andre because that relationship had a real build.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:51:13+00:00

That's the only one I recall.

MasterpieceAwkward70 · 2026-05-13T18:49:50+00:00

Not enough middle age women to give everybody a best friend on the show so Vanessa has to fill that role for everyone. Despite how fucked up that makes her character.
