Cynthia Erivo in her Golden Globes Dress

Tonight Below Deck Sailing Yacht is premiering. I could not be more excited to recap this show. On this season, we have a new crew. It seems as though there was not enough conflict on the last season. So this season is expected to start of with a bang. All of the Below Deck shows do very well on Bravo.

So for me, it is beyond all comprehension that they are putting the show on at 9 pm on Mondays. Two of the highest rated regular network shows, if not THE HIGHEST two, The Bachelor and The Voice are aired at that time. It would have be wiser for Bravo to put Below Deck Sailing Yacht on at 8pm. They are instead running reruns during that hour. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, Bravo.

I am fully invested of this episode of The Bachelor. And The Voice is Banjo’s favorite TV. I’m not kidding. He likes it because sometimes I “sing.” Sidenote: I CANNOT SING but he loves my feeble attempts. LOL. He’s getting old and frankly he gets whatever the fuck he wants at this point. Even some people food. The rerun of tonight’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht reairs tonight at 10:45. That’s a whole nuther story they attached either WWHL or Bravo Chat to the fucking premiere. That just makes me unable to watch it. I’m still pissed I couldn’t watch Miss Lawrence on WWHL last night because of this sort of bullshitery. I usually could care less if I watch WWHL or not when they try to fuck up two hour blocks of recording But I really wanted to see Miss Lawrence. I guess I could watch on Youtube. UGH. Streaming.

All of that is to say I’ll be late getting Below Deck Sailing Yacht up. It will come either VERY late tonight or during the day tomorrow. The top photo is one of my favorite actresses, Cynthia Arivo (star of Harriet) in her golden globes dress. Just because I didn’t want you to miss it. I love it!

I’m off now to recap 90 Day Fiance. It looks like a doozy! As always, thanks so much for reading. And this is an open forum to talk about whatever is on your mind.

    I loved Arivo’s entire look for the Golden Globes! Then I read it made her look like a lampshade and now I can’t unsee it? Loved the color, fabric, shape, her hair…the WHOLE THING! Glamorous, classy, but fun. I wish I could wear this color

        I think lampshades were modeled after this look. Fricking amazing! I wish I’d have had a fashion moment like this just once (eeeh, maybe twice…addicted, everytime I made a public appearance) but it’s probably not in my fashion cards due to no public exposure, ever, giggle!

    I love Miss Lawrence and missed WWHL too.
    You make me smile thinking about you singing and Banjo loving it. That’s really sweet.
    I am anxiously awaiting Below Deck Sailing…and to think I was not going to give it a chance last season because I was so against any Below Deck that did not have Capt Lee after the Sandy (I don’t call her capt) micromanaging, drug bullshit. I still refuse to watch that bitch. TT, you recommended BD Sailing and I liked it…still not Capt Lee, but definitely watchable. I want to meet Capt Lee and MaryAnn one day…a bucket list thing….not in a stalkerish way. I just have enormous respect for him and I love the love & respect they have for one another.

    Why do you think none of the original crew returned to Below Deck Sailing Yacht? I am glad most of them didn’t. That boat romance between Jenna and Adam made me so uncomfortable.

    Thanks, TT, and hope you don’t feel pressure from us to get stuff up by a certain time! Bravo’s timing problem showed itself before, in their choice to air RHSLC at 10. Very out of touch, on many levels.
    Funny that they thought that there was not enough conflict on BD sailing last season- that’s why I loved it! I watched reruns today and was thinking how much more authentic it was and that’s why I’m excited for the new season.. If they over script the upcoming season like they do everything else now- what a shame. If it ain’t broke… But, judgement withheld, until it airs tonight ?.

    Anyone watching 1000 lb sisters? They are from my hometown and moved to the next county right before season 1. Poor Tammy is in a nursing home right now….bigger than ever….they had horrible childhoods 🙁

      What is their childhood story? I watch it. Amy is so lucky that her husband helps her with Tammy. Jerry, Tammy’s boyfriend, wouldn’t even push her in her wheelchair.

      I watch! I really like them but also often feel like they are being exploited. Gage’s birth was so sweet and Amy seems so in love. The cutest baby!!! I hate to hear about their childhoods, but I’m not surprised. Tammy can often get on my nerves, but it makes me so sad to think of her in a nursing home.

    I finally get to see the SHOES! Every photo I saw didn’t show the shows.

    I watched the Sailing Yacht “Look at Season 2.” Bravo really is playing up the crew hooking up this season in the Internet and TV previews. In the online version, it looks like there is some girl on girl hooking up. The one who is either a boy or a girl has tats on the left hand. When I watched the other previews it REALLY seemed like Bravo was not showing us the left hand with the tatts. By process of elimination I think it is crew girl Sydney on top of stew Dani. Leave it to Bravo …

    I didn’t watch the golden globes, I started rewatching Southern Charm from Season One and what a great show when it started. Now it’s DARK. meanwhile, that dress above, it does look like a lampshade but she pulls it off. I couldn’t walk in the shoes without a cane or a walker. I am going to watch Sailing Yacht because I didn’t watch the first season. I have no idea why. I did watch 90 day and something is wrong with all of these people.

      You don’t get the full effect of the dress in the photo because she is holding it up to show the shoes. I love the dress it is made out of neoprone or whatever the fancy word for scuba material is. 😉 It’s also Valentino. I’m just saying.

    I never got into BDSY because my reality TV plate was already overflowing.

    Speaking of overflowing, those poor 1000 lb ladies. Serious weight problems often stem from childhood abuse so I’m not surprised if they had terrible childhoods. I still struggle with weight issues that decades of therapy haven’t been able to completely untangle. Sometimes you have experiences in life that leave wounds that never fully heal, no matter the time that passes or the energy you devote to getting better. I don’t watch the show for several reasons but mainly because I think they’re being exploited.

    So I was looking for a new series to watch since all my faves are just starting production again because, covid. Ozark is starting filming soon, for example. I had heard good things about Ray Donovan but never watched it because I didn’t have a Showtime subscription. Noodling around on my Prime Video account I saw Ray Donovan on the Showtime channel. When I clicked on it to see if I could just rent it, I saw I could get a MONTH Showtime free trial. (The channel is 10.98 a month.) So I started the trial and so far have watched 3 seasons of Ray Donovan! It’s FANFUCKINGTASTIC!!! The writing, acting, casting, storylines, are all incredible! It’s in the same vein as The Sopranos but it’s not a hackneyed copy. Characters are complex. Very suspenseful. Like a book you can’t put down you have to keep watching. Episodes are an hour long, there’s lots of episodes each season, and there’s 7 seasons. There’s also talk of a Ray Donovan movie being considered. So, if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it.

    Also have some thoughts on the latest 90DF but will wait for the recap for those.

    Sooooo many good series on Showtime you need to call out for the month. The Affair (many seasons, it’s done), Your Honor, Shameless (ending soon forever), The Good Lord Bird (first season), HOMELAND (sooo good many season) OMG WORK IN PROGRESS! Hysterical comedy LGBT therapy maybe one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! More fun Lesbo stuff with The L Word but it’s a drama! What I would not give to be a virgin to all of these shows. I’d never get any work done.

      the first 2 seasons of the affair are great , the rest is meh. I am watching shameless but the british version, sometimes need a break though lol. I dropped homeland after season 3. The L word is good, did they pick it up again? never heard of the good lord. There is a french series : la faute à Rousseau, based on a spanish series i forgot the name of, really fun.

        The Good Lord Bird is a civil war era kind of series that is loosely about Fredrick Douglass. It’s not like a war movie kind of thing though. More about complicated relationships and escaping slavery. It’s more interesting than I am making it sound.

    I got ants in my pants in the middle of The Voice and didn’t track that part a lot. (Other than Kelly is being stingy with the turns).

    That last guy though? Victor. I know he’s going to be a favorite. One of my favorite John Legend songs – and it is HYSTERICAL that Blake didn’t know John wrote it – and WON AN OSCAR FOR IT. (One of my all time favorite Oscar song performances.)

    The kid that sang for Obama and the guy who sang Glory are going to be hard to beat. Blake’s former bandmate may win though in my opinion. He was good too and Blake kind of always wins somehow.

      Still smiling that Blake didnt know John wrote that Gospel song. Perhaps Blake should watch Selma this weekend.

      Yes, I do. I think, like other shows, some of the storylines are scripted (like Rodney and what’s her name) but others seem legit. The young woman with the older man on the yacht in Miami, I don’t think she’s a gold digger. She could have had an ultra expensive wedding in Miami but wanted a simple wedding in her hometown. A gold digger wants all the bling and trappings money can buy. I don’t see her operating like that. And her father is a dick for how he’s treating her. Even if he thinks she’s making a mistake he could be supportive. He’s so worried about what’s going to happen to her! How can he not understand she’s going to be set for life? If her husband dies before she does (which nobody knows the future but it’s more likely than not) she’ll never have to work a day in her life. Most parents would be happy that a daughter has financial security guaranteed for the rest of her life.

        I agree. I think they are the most real couple in the show. The rest of the women seem more into the money and the men seem to be into the power/control they have.

          Except for Reese and Nonie, the skateboard guy and the woman. I can’t figure that one out, he is so immature and to me not that attractive.

            Katie should go on a sugar baby site and get herself a sugar daddy. That’s what she wants. And with her looks she could get a good one. Her boyfriend doesn’t want a sugar baby. He’s trying to encourage her to be independent. That would make her attractive to him. She has gold digger expectations. She needs to find a different gold mine.

            Totally agree about Nannie. She’s a catch and he’s a bum. What a loser. A third rate (and that’s being generous) skateboarder with friends who are worse than him. And that witch of a mother! She should be happy he won’t be reproducing. The world has enough slackers. Mom should be on her knees thanking God ANY woman is interested in Reese, let alone a beautiful, intelligent, successful woman.

              I didn’t even know who y’all were talking about until you mentioned the skateboard. And I watch the show every weekend. They are not very memorable. 🙂 I don’t see any of the relationships working out. The black golddigger with the bisexual boyfriend is ridiculous.

    I just needed a place to announce that I FINALLY took a shower. I went into my bedroom to look for my bathrobe and found AN UNOPENED BOX OF WINE! YIPPEE!

    Am I the only one that hides things from myself like chocolate and wine and beer and such so that one day when I am out and snooping around for something I find out that I am not really out at all? I vaguely remember putting that box there months ago and hadn’t really been in the bedroom since ( I sleep on the couch to keep an eye on Banjo. And my other bedroom is my wardrobe room.

    March has been very very good to me so far. 🙂

    TT, I hope Banjo still has a few years left in him. That said try not to connect him to a show you really enjoy. My Queenie girl died late this summer on a Sunday, when the Golden Girls were on and I can never watch that show again without breaking down in tears. I had her since I was 20 and she died at 14..it was my best relationship in my entire life and I still miss her. The less reminders the better IMO.

    This is a late post, but I am wondering if there has been any news on Ashlee Malleo returning to RHONJ? It’s such a long shot, but I saw on her IG that hints she may be making a move to NJ. Of course that doesn’t translate to RHONJ, but with her recent interaction with Gia I wondered if anyone has heard anything.
