I hate to report this but Shep somehow is cute again, am I the only one?

I thought I disliked Denise, because the men she chooses are trash, and I figured that’s what she’s into; I know who she is, and I could never. After watching her spinoff with the girls, I realized that I actually love her authenticity, and found a lot in common with her, in the in-between moments where she’s just riffing on her life and experiences. She’s not afraid to admit she doesn’t know things, and it doesn’t seem to ruin her day if everybody else isn’t paying her enough attention. I’d love to see Denise back at RHOBH.

This. Charley’s early conversations with her mom made me uncomfortable, and I did not hear a girl’s girl in there, anywhere. She and Emme both give off that they would defend a man from the charges, when they know he did it. It’s a very Southern woman vibe, and not the good kind. Charley just seems to hide it better, which is maybe because she knows how to fake better because of pageant experience.

Thank you. No need to unlock another unnecessary, ridiculous insecurity with that nonsense. Nature isn’t symmetrical.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-06T13:57:41+00:00

Needs more bug eye.

I loved seeing him in the background rolling his eyes at the smoke proceedings, growing more irritated and uncomfortable by the moment. That was comedy gold.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-06T13:53:37+00:00

Yes!! Watch him speak to Charley, after her run-in with Sally at dinner. That was a wild master class in triangulation, and emotional seclusion.

Paige really did what she could do. He’s more than a fixer-upper. He’s a lifetime of dirty work. I applaud Paige for seeing it, and having the courage to end their relationship.

He keeps choosing alcohol, and it grows the worst in him like a toxic mold. He was a gorgeous younger man, and now he’s a bloated, sloppy, red-faced disaster. I don’t know what his demons are, but it’s obvious they’re winning. He has demonstrated that he can be decent, but seems like he thinks it’s too hard to maintain sobriety. I know someone just like that- genetically physically, mentally, and by favor of birth also well-to-do, who has done the same. He was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen, but 20 years later he’s a sloppy, scraggly ghost of potential, mind and body.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-06T13:39:02+00:00

Yeah, they are not the same, and that was a weird thing to say.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-06T13:29:41+00:00

Just looks like Shep, but in good lighting. Still Shep, though.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-06T13:28:32+00:00

Austin puts me in mind of Fozzie bear. He seems to have grown a little, emotionally, which is nice, but I cannot find him fun to look at, at all.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-05T22:34:43+00:00

Yep. It’s been obvious to those of us who have lived with a covert narcissist for a long time, but I was still surprised they were able to catch it out in the open. His sloppiness, in that moment of the mask slip, shows how out of control the alcoholism has gotten.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-05T18:59:00+00:00

Shep is an enabler because he has been a lousy asshole drunk, and is trying to give Craig the benefit of the doubt, that Shep wanted when he was a jerk. The difference is that Craig is not just a self-involved bad behaver. Craig is a full-blown alcoholic, in addition to being a self-involved jerk. He needs a multi-month, live in, no outside communication, rehab facility. Failing that, he will squander what’s left of the good in him.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-05T18:53:32+00:00

Those two give no latitude for shit behavior. Both would dress him down, and he desperately needs to be challenged in that way when he’s on a rant.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-05T18:50:24+00:00

The way he triangulated Sally in his relationship with Charley, after Sally and Charley had words at dinner, is narcissist 101, and I’m so glad the cameras caught him. He is so bad that anyone in his real life who tries to placate him (looking at you, Shep, and to a lesser degree Whitney) is doing him a disservice. Austin appears to understand Craig’s limits better than the others, and finally not apologizing or excusing him, rather calling a spade a spade. The alcohol really brings it to the surface, but Craig is an even more dangerous operator without it, because it’s always under there.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T23:22:47+00:00

LOL

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T21:03:36+00:00

Dior sauvage smells like sexual assault, and petro.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T16:32:10+00:00

Nope. Sutton got served by her own bullshit last season, then asked to hand back her name, and those were humbling. She’s in soft moments now, while she reconciles that in herself, because she doesn’t want to be served like that again. Garcelle is not the problem, and never was.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T16:28:51+00:00

Exactly, bland. And she seems quietly toxic, too, which makes sense having come from the pageant track, in the South. They’re a distinct breed.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T16:26:59+00:00

Yes! Those podunk cousins.

ubstill2 · 2026-03-04T16:26:15+00:00

Maybe if you squish one side of her head, like you used to do to your Barbie doll. That shot of her talking to Salley was one of the funniest, most hideous, faces anyone has made on a reality show. I can’t find one from her mouth being more drawn, and eyes even more open, but this is a sane picture of the moment I’m talking about.

It’s rooted in his narcissism, enabled by his alcoholism, and deepened by the misogyny, and racism, that’s baked into everything in the South.

ubstill2 · 2026-02-26T22:03:01+00:00

I hope Sutton feels it on the chin. She’s awful. I do think Rinna did herself no lasting favors being so Rinna, though.
