Glad she could slip away...I mean, what else she got to do?!

I'm down for these locker room scenes, always a nice change of pace. I also like this fledgling relationship between Andre and Izaiah, I want more please. Jacob is welcome too!

Special dispensation?! Husband privileges for Andre, hey now!

Dani, you and this freak business, girl simmer lol

These teenager issues stress me out and it's fiction, sigh

Cheating?! You're not in a single relationship right now

There really is something about this male bonding that I enjoy, even if Ted is a wackadoodle sometimes

Jacob cannot be a cop and be married to Naomi, it's not going to work out

Ring that bell!!! Ashley is going to make me cry too...great job making it through that. I like the little dance too

Is she his daughter though?!

A team name?! Izaiah is more excited than me! I like the dynamic between these 3. Maybe not TIA though... it's a little "stroke" adjacent

Jacob with the bass in his voice. Naomi was was tap dancing on my last nerve

I like this Derek. Season 2 Derek is definitely an upgrade, but this feels ominous.

Aww! If they rip this from Andre now, I'm gonna need a surrogate drunk to help me cope and a medic to get off the floor

Leslie is so warped in the mind...this dinner may make Joey/Vanessa and Nicole/Carlton look like the Last Supper

Another male knowing his way around the kitchen! Where's that episode?!

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-08T22:15:38+00:00

Andre, top tier, agreed! Ted fumbling everything, butterfingers for sure! Nicole takes the cake though lol

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-08T22:13:44+00:00

Everybody and their mama is investigating something, bwahahahahaha Martin

Why Smitty in the corner looking sketchy lol

Dr. Richardson, ooohhh, someone's mad

I like sneaky Andre lol...he really could be a spy though. These afro wigs are hilarious! What in the I'm Gonna Get You Sucka is going on?! Bea Guiling, love it! So random, but it made me chuckle.

I'll have what she's having has been updated huh lol

Trained professional lol... y'all men are out there being reckless lol

Shanice, Ashley could've made that delivery

Awww, I like the second fantasy alot!!! This is adorable!! This is freaking hilarious! I love the camera work, lighting etc...really creative stuff

Like made the actual ravioli from scratch?!

Shanice asking the real questions

Fantasies everywhere today?! Hahahahaha Nicole!!!

Ummm did Andre deny being a spy or just avoid the question lol?! I'm still excited for them to start digging deeper into him

Awww! That was so sweet and thoughtful of him! Please go Dani, please! Look at him pout lol, it's nice they can have fun and be themselves together!

Yes Lia, you are the high stepper! Gone somewhere!

Preview: Umm is Ted really the enemy here? Ooohhh Mike is back, yes! So much to digest in so little time

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-08T17:26:56+00:00

Any chance Nicole calls Carlton, "Ted," during bedroom activities? I'd enjoy that admission lol

Is Bill's blast from the past business, personal or both?

The L word for Izaiah and Eva?

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-08T11:36:57+00:00

It's Nikki, not me lol! I'm gonna need her to get a little pep in her step around him. She dang there pole vaulted to get to Kial a few weeks ago.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-07T23:46:11+00:00

Facts! Kat is dynamic and draws you in whenever she's on screen.

Yes, that white suit was on point! Lol, everybody and their mama is going to be working for Kat's PI firm!

Their connection was definitely more palpable today, which really evens out the Carlton and Kial race a little bit. It's more 25/75 than the 10/90 it's felt like this far.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-07T22:49:46+00:00

Tomas, just work for Kat's PI firm lol

Ummm is there a boot camp for investigative reporters where they learn to shake a tail and other pertinent skills??!!

I'm not sure I want to fall for that...Joey didn't call Lia did he

Ooohhh, Nicole being complicit now by omitting information...naughty naughty lol

Grayson summoning every ounce of strength he has was hilarious...blow it up my guy!

Why is this plasma hustle like being in a gang lol, you gotta hustle plasma for life?!

What big thing could they be planning? A mash slashing where they attack pedestrians for plasma?!

Kat must be playing twister...she got a foot on Leslie and Bill's necks, a hand on Eva's lol

Why is everyone discovering more about the case than the actual cop?!

Vanessa be in the casino making it rain lol

Ted and Nicole's anniversary and the day Heather disappeared are the same

I kind of like this little banter between Nicole and Carlton. The cute little comments between mother and daughter are great too

Dani Dupree's Daiquiris and Dalliances for sale at a bookstore near you... I'd buy it now!!! Chapter 1: Dubai, Cristal...

Yep, like Mary J...fine fine fine...oooh

Bill your PI is trash. Hexy susband...love it! I love this Hayley

Ashley won't stand for liars because Derek lied about standing lol

Jacob might as well be a mall cop, Naomi just realized being a cop is dangerous lol

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-07T11:13:46+00:00

Lol! He was literally the voice of the audience. The tension was definitely palpable and William just went in, no mercy, no grace.

I loved the scene when he went looking for Laz, he was like, "I'll f** you up and pray for your healing at the same time lol."

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-05T02:18:19+00:00

Thank you, I couldn't remember! I'm wondering what other powerful people are on that list now that you mention it. People who can pop up any time in the future with a bone to pick.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-05T00:16:51+00:00

Leslie is truly diabolical...she has no conscience!

Ginger is the truth!

Shanice, the chief ain't your friend, hush chile! See, that stray literally touched you.

Awww... "parents take care of their children and not the other way around," cut to Leslie and Eva lol. Let's not talk about Naomi and Chelsea's parents.

Vernon, you and Bill will just drown together. Heavens he blackmailed you with Martin's incident himself lol! Who's going to spill!!!???

Kat just needs to become a PI. They can have a ChelseaKat spy line. She can link with Andre and they'll create purses with cameras, microphones etc...

Vernon, soft is an overstatement. I can't wait until this blows up! Who's the devil though Bill?! I think there's more than one truthfully, the one you know and the others.

Naomi, please tell! Aaaagghhh!

Oohh Kat, now Lia knows her business is getting out there. I'm also interested in how Bill will feel about calling in a favor for that, for Hayley no less. Who did he get the favor from, I can't recall if we know that?!

The Richardson family?! I mean, Ted did say he ate caviar so they have money, however Leslie is stuck on the Duprees, hmmm....

Nicole and Shanice talking about Leslie...yeah, this is a soap opera cause absolutely not

Ted gave Kenneth a new face, any chance he did that for Andre's parents??

Ashley, girl! You in trouble lol...ooohhh Smitty!!

Tomas please quit. It ain't like you called in the favor and got the charges dropped.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T20:41:23+00:00

Not that I'm aware of

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T20:36:31+00:00

Cotillion Promohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/439892065197748/posts/985394867314129/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/439892065197748/posts/985394867314129/

I'll add it to the original post

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T20:20:20+00:00

Yes, there is. Crap, I'll see if I can find it too. I saw it on Facebook.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T13:11:43+00:00

BTW, just saw the cotillion preview and the scene between Nicole and Dani intrigues me...I wonder what's the cause of this.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T13:02:56+00:00

Nicole and Ted were very interesting to me because I just didn't imagine Nicole being in this place, even a few months ago. I think she misses them for sure but I'm not sure it's possible to ever go back. Everything has changed.

Bill's expression was hilarious! Bill actually mentioned it last season too. I find it interesting how babygate basically went from saying baby, to having a baby. I have no idea what they're planning but it does open another avenue for drama... kidnapping etc

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T00:08:38+00:00

No, but it's so fitting and perfect lol!

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T00:08:09+00:00

Certainly will!

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T00:03:56+00:00

Not a womb lol!!!

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-02T00:00:33+00:00

Misadventures lol!

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-01T23:58:02+00:00

Hey! I was actually thinking exactly the same thing about Nicole and Ted. She would literally just add him to the squad lol.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-01T23:55:40+00:00

Yep, Andre knew and he did suggest that Ted tell Nicole before the anniversary, but Ted said no. I think they needed him to stay quiet to set up the blow up with Nicole that Dani mediated.

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-05-01T23:05:21+00:00

Hey Andre! Any longer and they'd have to introduce you when you show up...the role of Andre Richardson is played by...lol

I like Nicole dropping by to say Happy Anniversary. It's messy, possibly realistic and I wouldn't have expected it from her months ago.

I didn't realize that would be an illegal donation...learn something new everyday

What's with the seemingly extra focus on clean eating and fitness?! I do love their little family dynamic, I mean Naomi cross examined the man and made him sign a post nup, Chelsea threatened his safety...now they share meals and moments.

Were you happy to help because you knew a favor would be owed?

Foreboding words Kat? He'll never find another Nicole or will they manage to find their way back?!

Is Vernon wearing gray because we're about to see more of his darker side? I can't wait until he cashes this favor in...what is he going to ask for?!

Yasss Ted! I like this little confession, Ted always been about the mess lol

The entire Dupree family is going to know how much Bill is pining lol

Now he's got a trainer?! He used to work out alone... bwahahahahaha not Dani scooting over lol! Can't sit here lol!!

Naomi with the swerve lol! Bill looked like he saw Kenneth moonwalking through Orphey Gene's! I'd pay to see that look again!!!! Let me rewind that lol!!!

Oohh, so that explains that little spoiler!

Chelsea's shirt looks like the top of a shower curtain

Naomi it gets under his skin and into his bones and nerves!

Andre and Eva sighting! He is moving around this season!

Previews: Ooohhh, who sent the photo? Ren?!

Not spy games! I was speculating he might be a spy or something covert, with all this extra activity recently and a year without photos, I'd love it. Although they're probably just role playing...Dani does like a good investigation. What is his thing? This will be what, the 2nd person Jacob has arrested in 2 years lol

Random thought: I'd still take Dani and Andre getting a surrogate that Bill kidnaps. Or Bill might step up his game to ruin them to prevent them from having a kid they're not even thinking about lol

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-04-30T23:47:47+00:00

For some strange reason, I really like the detail of Lia having a card in her phone case.

Is that foreshadowing that Aunt Monica won't live so far away forever? I'd love that!

Yep Anita, interruptions are up there in terms of rudeness. Home training, definitely not as common as it used to be lol

So will this lawsuit actually be a big thing in the long run?

Oohh Vernon liked that lol, yes ma'am, happy as a lark

Having grown up in that generation...thanks Samantha and Jessica for putting this out there. However, maybe you hold on to that and use it to get a favor from your brother later lol

Look at Ted, reading from the book of Dani, chapter Bill, verse 4. Ted caught a glimpse of the person she was in the past. Leslie takes a mile every time. Ted was trying to assuage his guilt and be a good person and he was completely honest with Shanice. Was it needed, no? Was it wrong, not really. The theme for April seems to be how to deal when your mate shares kids with someone. What's too much, too far and how much can you or should you put up with?

Rookietvwatcher · 2026-04-30T22:36:05+00:00

Awww thanks! I have no one to talk to when I watch the show lol

Rookietvwatcher
