So with Filthy Rich, do you think 1. Becky will live 2. That once Ginger hears what happened shes flying straight away back to NO 3. Who Ginger is gonna be sadder/worried about, the dead reporter or Becky 4. Do you think Ginger will tell Eric about them if Becky is super hurt because everyone will be questioning why shed want to see her

Oh, wow, I sure hope Becky lives?? I think she will, her role gives so much drama and there’s so much left for her to provide? Much more than if she dies, then it’ll be simply a matter of Eric getting the baby, there’s no custody war or mystery to it. Like Luke’s death now brings up the question who did it, what will the next steps be about his story, etc. Becky dying in childbirth brought on by a guy we already know is bad…less drama. I’m not gonna rule it out but it’s not a big fear for me.

2. I….this is where I can never tell, because I always downplay how important f/f stories are to the main plot because that’s just how it is, even here, despite involving two central characters, the Becky/Ginger relationship has hardly made any ripples in the rest of the show, except the divorce. So in that sense, I wouldn’t expect Ginger’s plot in the next ep to revolve around Becky. Buuut, I mean, I didn’t expect even this much so maybe I’m underestimating this show? And in a general sense, I would actually be surprised if everyone’s plot didn’t revolve around Becky a bit, that is a Monreaux next generation heir, so Margaret and Eugene’s grandchild, and most other characters’ nibling (even Ginger’s). Jesus is most of that too but the same guy who took him hurt Becky so again that’s connected. 

3. I think she’ll be pretty sad about Luke since she’s really the only character who knew and liked him and can only openly mourn, but I’m hoping for some scenes where she’s thinking about or even going to meet Becky.

4. Ummm, hmm. That DOES seem like a juicy reveal the show won’t miss so I’m not sure if they’ll do it this ep or next, but I dunno, really, the show’s subverted a bunch of my expectations. I don’t think Eric would be surprised or need an explanation if Ginger goes to see Becky, it’ll probably be expected that most of the family would go at some point. 

A lot of questions, lol, anon, about a show that tbh I’ve mostly been content to watch from and hope for the best when it comes to the f/f. I’m still thinking about Becky’s death, now that you’ve put the thought into my head…and wondering if that unexpected shift from Ginger to be interested in pursuing a relationship is to set up a tragic twist…but let’s freaking hope not! I’d be pretty angry at the show for that.

hi, i was wondering, where do you get the episodes of filthy rich? i`m mexican and im strugling to find the show online. I love your blog by the way

Oh, hmm, I tend to download them from a private source but for this, I actually can access the Fox site: https://www.fox.com/filthy-rich/ You may need an American IP, but I think it’s actually not not necessary to have a TV subscription beyond that? Maybe… But in which case, I think this also has a bunch of sources for them, obviously be careful with your adblocker and anti-virus software: https://www.primewire.li/tv/1330947-watch-filthy-rich

Oh, and thank you!

Do you think becky actually likes ginger or is just using her? I feel like its a mix but it might just be me?

Using her in what sense? I myself am not ruling Becky out as a potential baddie because of the genre, but in terms of what we’ve seen on screen so far, I haven’t seen anything at all that points to Becky using Ginger. If the twist comes, it’ll very much come out of the blue.

Becky’s story so far has been a pretty classic case of specifically religious gay panic and the back and forth that comes with it. If anything, until yesterday’s ep, it really felt like she was way more into Ginger than vice versa?

The thing is, there’s nothing really to be gained by trying anything with Ginger? Staying married to Evan gave her much more and for all she knew, Ginger wasn’t into any kind of monogamous relationship. But she’s literally just asked for a divorce anyway, and being very hot/cold with Ginger. If that’s a scheme, she’s a true mastermind. Plus, we’ve seen scenes without Ginger, not just the recap mentions but like when she went to Paul in ep 1×06, that wasn’t for Ginger’s benefit. So far she seems pretty sincere to me in everything we’ve seen of her.

Ginger is so soft to Becky that I’m shipping so hard and it hurts because I know it’s already canceled and will probably end on a cliffhanger.

She wasssssss. I did not expect that ep at all. I’ve been trying to downplay my expectations for this show and the ship, not gushing in the tags as I usually might because thinking leads to investment which leads to disappointment but that was just a cute ass ep for them! I can no longer deny it. 

We’re just gonna have to face that 2020 is the year where we pray for our ships to not be destroyed long enough for them to last the one season they’re allowed before cancellation.

Damnnnn I’m actually really enjoying filthy rich… and I highkey ship ginger x becky now.. I’m sad they cancelled T.T do you think there’s a chance they pick the show up again?

I do appreciate how much it gets that Ginger and Kim Cattrall are the leads, I do like to see mostly women sparring, and that within that very religious, judgmental environment and the main goal of milking as much soapy drama as possible, it does try to point out and reward when people are actually good and kind to each other. That does make it an easier watch than it might have been.

But at the same time, I do think as we get to the season finale, that it’s going to revert to the drama and will probably ruin a bunch of things in preparation for what would have been the arcs for season 2, including, sadly, Becky/Ginger. And I don’t really think it will be picked up, sadly. I think even as the summer show it was clearly meant to be, in normal times, it’d have been hard pressed to be picked up for next year, but now? With covid costs? Seems even farther out of reach.
