My boy, Banjo.

I’m taking a mental health day. I’ll spare you all the details because they involve family members, but my family is dealing with multiple issues at the moment. I generally don’t do much on Saturday anymore. I do have some good news to report. I spoke to Nadia last night. She is still in the hospital but is doing better and hopes to be back home with her cat soon. In other good news, the sun is out. And the squirrels are chasing each other up and down the tree outside my window. I’m going to go play today’s Wordle and then just veg out in front of the TV and try to decompress.

And because it would still be nice to still have page views today, I’m going to give you some options:

The Jodi Arias Trial 

All The Sheree Whitfield Trials (including with me in court with her)

LVP Gets Sued A LOT! 

Felons By Bravo

Tipp for reading these links, with the exception of Felons By Bravo that can be read top down, the others you should scroll scroll scroll all the way to the bottom, open the last one in a new window, read and close and move up to the next one. Thanks for reading. I am going to veg out an love on my boy, Banjo. I’ll see you all tomorrow night for the RHOSLC recap. I just noticed that is THE ONLY SHOW recording for me during Sunday prime time. I have to go see what else I can record now that the Porsha shit show is over. All the good things come on Sunday nights. Let me know what else I should record.

Welcome to the new Vanderpump Rules. This looks amazing.

    Tamara, are you looking forward to Celebrity Big Brother 3 on Feb 2? I’m hoping CBS announces the cast tomorrow during the NFL Playoff game. Lots of casting rumors, probably all fake as usual. For me it’s not as important how famous they are as long as they’re entertaining/good TV. After all, I get invested every summer in 16 HGs I’ve never heard of

      SO EXCITED! Most of the rumored cast is false though.

        I am excited to see who is actually going to be the cast. Who actually believes that NeNe would be a cast member?

          Nene would be entertaining on the show, but I’m afraid she’d self evict within 24-48 hours. The BB house looks nice but accommodations aren’t exactly luxurious, especially the bedrooms/bathrooms

      Greetings from Northern California!
      Thanks (again) for watching the Housewives- so I don’t have to. Hehe. I think we have pretty different tastes, but here goes:
      I’ve been watching Euphoria on Sunday Night. It’s heavy, trippy and riveting. I also binged Chucky The Series ( yes, Chucky). More LGBT issues (and violence), but super campy and fun.
      Hope you guys have a nice day.
      Hug that Banjo and Chill!

    I am not sure when Kandi’s new show airs. Maybe Sundays to fill the shoes of Porsha’s POS show! I was about to type “thank God there is no reunion for that show,” when it dawned on me … I cannot think of one of that cast, including Porsha, who was on WWHL! Either my memory is shit/shit or I HOPE that is a sign that fucking shitshow is in the shitcan!

    Reply
    • Nanette says

      January 22, 2022 at 5:39 pm

      Yep! Kandi & the Gang will air on Sundays, starting March 6.

      It looks like it could be fun — I am a sucker for restaurant drama.

      BONUS: Kandi coming out with another BRAVO show will REALLY REALLY piss off Nene! I REALLY REALLY hope it’s a hit.

      You remember … Bravo … that network that is so “unfair to Black women!” as Nene reminded us 45 million times! Yeah, to Black women who do nothing and expect the world. Funny how a HARDWORKING Black woman seems to do just fine!

      That is my suggestion too! Tamara got me hooked on the 90 Day franchise and l’ve been missing her recaps of this show. I like Usman in this one compared to the Usman with Baby Girl Lisa.

    Hi TT well enjoy your time with your baby, my youngest daughter came home from work with a terrier/ chihuahua mix last night he’s so cute, that she’s naming Titian🤷🏼‍♀️, I’m just sitting here wondering what I’m going to do with this puppy everyday while she’s at work, so I went on Amazon and ordered a pen with carrying case and a car seat so she’ll be able to take it to work with her because I don’t think I can potty train him at this time.
    The anniversary of my husband’s passing (5 years ago) is on the 31st and I’m just not mentally ready to deal with anything right now, and I know she’s trying to find something to block it out, she’s had a hard time dealing with losing him but I don’t know if this is a good idea, we’ll we’ll see how it works out for her 😖

I am not at liberty to say what is going on with me right now legally, but I will when things are settled…whenever that is, I will fill you all in.

    We ALL need mental health days. No matter how we choose to spend them. My youngest is engaged with a terrific man. And his parents, 71 and 81 ( he was a happy surprise after years and years of trying) came 4 1/2:hours to have 3 Kings Day Dinner with us. It was lovely. I ​made paella cause it’s Dpanish and so am I and we openedvpresents. She crocheted coasters that are beautiful! I almost cried cause they were so thoughtful and beautiful!
    My daughter chose well and I can see where her honey gets his thoughtfulness. So while I have a bad toothache and an aching back, I wanted to share this and I figured here, right here, you all would get it and it’d be okay. I’m watching Project Runway. And enjoying this episode immensely.

          Holy Shit. How did I not know you taught middle school! I’ve taught ever grade level and all of my principals hated me, but my middle school principal was the best. I left to take a college job and then kind of wanted to stay and he was like, NOPE! lol. He was the best principal ever. But the kids were the WORST. I am a remedial reading teacher and lots of my kids had probation officers. For rape. I loved that one kid. And his probation officer showed up at school. Oddly I had lots of students charged with rape at my college jobs, too.

          The good thing about my middle school principal was the day that I got on Xanax during my lunch time doctors appt. EVERYONE IN THAT SCHOOL WAS ON XANAX and I didn’t even know what it was. So I went and apparently he gave me one or I filled the script on the way back, and was called into the principal’s office (story of my life I should write an auto biography called “The Principal’s office” )

          My principal told me that several students had made claims I was cussing in class. And I was calling them names. I asked what I was being accused of calling them and they said “Chicken heads” Or something like that I forget. The principal was like, I’ve known you and he had been to happy hours with us and he knew my foul mouth and Chickenhead is not in my vocab. LOL.

          Sorry for the long story. I admire you for teaching middle school. It’s the worst.

    Jun Song is the first person to confirm going into the Celebrity Big Brother house. She was the winner of Big Brother 4. IIRC, she eats a lot. lol. Seems probable that Guy Fieri! (love him) and Leah Remini (love her) may be on, but nothing for sure. There are so many false sources for this. I’m ready to just wait and see. And by that I mean I CAN’T WAIT! BRING IT ON! Rumor has it’s a short season.

    So I finally got to watch AJLT this week. I realize the actress that plays Miranda is gay, but the sudden desire to be in a gay relationship at 50 something is so very Meredith Baxter Birney. Is it just me? Also, Carrie had her entire previous wardrobe in her apartment tonight. All of that is way better than anything she has worn this disappointing season.

    I have good news and bad news. Killing Eve is back for season four and will air this year! The bad news it it is the final season. I predict Eve and Villanelle will manage to simultaneously kill each other. Sadly, Carolyn will not be back. How the hell will that work? I must say this is the most difficult recap I do, but I will miss it so much. I’m already wondering where I pulled photos from… It’s been so long.

    Have you heard anything about the new show on E called “Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules”? Looks like grown kids of famous people on this ranch trying to get it back open after Covid. Hasselhoff’s daughter and Shaq’s son are two named. Started Jan 12, but I don’t have cable so I was wondering if it’s worth it trying to figure out how to watch it.

      I saw some of it. It was one of the shows I watch briefly when it is on in the middle of the night. I guess if you like that show where Paris Hilton and someone lived with strangers, you might like it. I don’t know where to find it but if you were sick on a Saturday and didn’t feel up to following a movie, it might be an easy watch? It’s not gripping TV but not really awful either. Just spoiled brats with no clue how life works, so funny at times?
