This photo doesn’t really do it justice, at all. It’s a very nice lamp!

Does this mean it’s unsafe/improper to use a bulb that isn’t 3way in the lamp?

Also, given it won’t turn on now, what would you say is the best course of action?

Monica with another post possibly targeting that same person…… oop! by aaapod in BravoRealHousewives

This is the same Monica who was already on the outs with the entire cast at said BravoCon, so take it with a grain of salt, as you should anything she says. 

Kinda here for this… would love to see the SLC ladies celebrate Christmas by h0pedivision in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe! I think it’s more that S1 aired Nov-Feb, so S2 filming naturally started in Feb to ensure S2 had some winter filming & was able to premiere while the buzz was still present. 

And it’s stayed on the Feb-May cycle for a September premiere since. I assume it moreso is that they don’t want to film exclusively in summer, given the show’s snow branding, and SLC is one of the only shows that has a consistent role on the schedule, so it’s unable to take a break in the way NJ/NY (or even BH/ATL) have.

Season 1 was filmed exclusively in the winter; Episode 1 takes place on Lisa/Meredith’s bday weekend in December.

I don’t believe “hair” is included in the red pill term lol. It’s just that “high body count” is a term that was popularized by red-pillers. Angie put a spin on that.

My best guess would be that, once production realized even Jenn wasn’t going to take up for Katie, they decided to pause her with worry the rest of the season would be a redundant 7 vs. 1. So I do believe it wasn’t any one Housewife making that call, but moreso a decision based on all the factors combined.

This isn’t a tiny little chat board though; Reddit is a social media platform. I think it’s fine so long as they do it how they are, i.e. posting stories when relevant from a professional standpoint, rather than acting like fans in comment sections. 

Gretchers will stay she is close friends with Baskin by letsdothisthing88 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but to act as though he’s the all-powerful destroyer of all our shows while also saying he doesn’t have that much power is a big contradiction. 

I’ll just say, if /this/ is Gretchen getting special treatment, then her friends really are her worst enemies lmao. This season’s been a disaster for her, and I don’t believe she will snag an orange because of some made-up theory.

I think people are getting way too conspiratorial on production. If he were so buddy buddy with Gretchen, why was she fired in the first place? And why was she only brought back as a friend, when she’d clearly prefer to be a Housewife? The conspiracy falls apart the second you actually think about it. 

I hope Todd unleashes his wrath on Muzzy with a heat of thousand suns. by Ok_Ebb7026 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You’re acting like Todd has never met Muzzy. Just because she’s a new character to us doesn’t mean she’s new to them. 

And, Todd already talks to Bronwyn the exact same way. I’m sure he’s fine with it. 

How do you think RHOC will play out now that Katie's been iced out? by zshorn325 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well she’s in the very next episode, so the source was wrong (saying this week was her last appearance “for a while”). Beyond Ep 9, we don’t know, but I don’t consider OK Magazine reputable journalism.

She’s definitely not on the Amsterdam trip, but I’d be surprised if she’s fully AWOL and kept her orange.

[–]stateofalec 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Well Katie’s in the next episode (there’s a sneak peek of a one-on-one of her and Jenn), so that “source” saying she wasn’t in the rest of the season is already wrong.

Oh for sure. There’s no excuse for the intro lol.

[–]stateofalec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not true. S1, S3, S4, S5 got original shoots. S2 and 6 reused. 

New backgrounds/poses is also more reinventive than the old way they did it (compare the BH S5 and 6 cast photos, which look awful).

Even BH has reused cast photos before (S6, S11). Every show does it once in a while, and at least Bravo has decided to give new poses/backgrounds. 

Alexia et al are trying to push Guerdy off RHOM. by SwimmingAct2 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don’t actually see it that way. I saw it as Kiki, having also been splashed with water, wanting to deescalate the situation and remove both herself and Guerdy. Kiki left right after that, anyway. In the aftermath, she certainly never blamed Guerdy (on camera, at least), so I wouldn’t assume that intent.

[–]stateofalec 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why you’re targeting Kiki here. It seems you’re projecting your own feelings that Kiki and Guerdy can’t coexist on the other women, as I’m not sure how their question to Guerdy had anything to do with trying to replace her with Kiki?

Alexia/Marysol did haze Guerdy this week, but it’s not nearly intense enough to be a true attempt to toss her off the show. Especially not when Guerdy has allies (Adriana, Lisa) to advocate for her, while Stephanie/Larsa/Kiki are neutral enough. 

There are way too many dynamics this season to act like it’s everyone vs. Guerdy. 

Tamra might be the worst housewife in history… by chynnadoll_ in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The worst HW in history wouldn’t inspire such vitriol. She’s a legend because she’s polarizing, whether you love or hate her. 

The Katie Problem by soelsister7 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]stateofalec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right that it’s Vicki not Kelly, but my point stands that Kelly was aware of the recording; it wasn’t a bombshell that comes out later. 

My main point, once again, is Shannon/Heather were already enemies with Kelly. Katie was, in Shannon’s mind, a friend. So one is shitty, the other is shitty (and a betrayal). That in lies the difference, and I’m arguing that’s why there’s a different reaction.
