There’s too much to post, but the best part of Cynthia, Porsha and Eva dragging Nene is Porsha posting their texts. Next season is going to be hilarious at this rate! Aint no way they making up lol. These girls are gonna snatch whatever hair is left in Nene’s head!

I don’t think they need to reveal much in advance since they have the viewers. I expect a jam packed 3-4 episodes for the reunion.

There are always popular HWs who leave and fans want back. Even ones who pop up for scenes and still don’t return full time. Kenya’s return will 100% be thanks to Nene. How was she so stupid as to make the focus of the reunion and final episode KENYA?! I live lol! This is just crazy. Nene is always her own worst enemy.

This was EASILY the best episode of the season and one of the most fun weddings ever featured on Housewives and definitely on BH (Pandora coming a close second). The reason this episode worked so much is because it was centered around Denise. She may be new, but she’s so unique to the series that it works. I love that she isn’t a showy person despite being very wealthy and that she beats to her own drum. She doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Considering how she is I didn’t expect the wedding we got. There is no way that wedding looked like it was thrown together in a week. The scenes getting ready and with her Dad and kids were all great. The scenes with the ladies at the wedding were also amusing. Had the episode ended there I would’ve been happy BUT the final scene with Dorit killed it for me. I thought we were done with his dog story but here we go again. As frustrating as this is as a viewer, I can definitely understand why LVP and Ken flip out. Dorit and PK with the shock over a press article is just insane. Radar always puts incredibly false stories so if Pump was going to leak to someone why them? I’m just happy this is done after next week. I look forward to seeing where things go without them being able to depend on her for their story. Are they doing ANYTHING interesting? My god.

This episode was pretty perfect. Contrast the reveal of Eva’s potential money problems and RHOBH talking about a dog. These ladies even when they’re not having their best season still give more than them tired hoes. It was also nice to see the beginning of Nene’s downfall, which as usual is her fault. She had plenty opportunity to tell Eva prior to the event so why was it so wrong for Tanya to tell her? I hated Tanya bending over backwards to apologize to Nene. I can’t wait til her jealousy over Kenya comes out. Again, why Nene is feuding with Kenya is beyond me. They got along the last time she was on the show! Nene kills me. Ruining all her friendships for what? MVP remains Kandi. Unlike Nene, she is the true OG for me. She’s been on longer than anybody and is the true glue that holds the show together. I loved the family planning scene with Riley and Mama Joyce and opening another restaurant was fun. It’s crazy how successful Kandi is. I just love to see her success. She’s such a low key but enjoyable personality.

I love her so I’m excited. I wanted Vanessa Williams (the DAYS one) but this is strong casting. I hope this means more for Monica.

I looked it up and RHOBH averaged 1.5 million viewers every episode except the premiere and episode 3 which had 1.6 million viewers. For each episode of RHOA they’ve had over 2 million viewers so I find Rinna’s claims hard to believe. Maybe they doubled the ratings for the first episode but I highly doubt the other episodes have managed a DVR spike that big. I’m really done with dog gate. The more Teddi talks about it the worse she looks and this episode was no different. I’m so glad LVP is playing it as “fcuk off” and not giving her the energy she wants. With Denise’s wedding starting next week we have only a couple more episodes with LVP interacting with the main cast. That was her last group filming IIRC. I imagine the wedding will spill over two episodes and that second episode will probably be the infamous showdown with Kyle and Lisa. At this point I’m dying for them to get to this point because I can’t take this week after week. I also loved Camille dropping the Brokrit tea which I’m assuming will be our story for the second half of the season. Nobody does bitchy like Camille so I know this will be epic. Plus as one of the early season girls she knows how it is to have all your business put out there so I’m glad she’s forcing them to be real. She really was robbed of a diamond.

This amazes me if true. I know many say RHOA isn’t the greatest this year, but I’ve noticed RHOBH is so bad it amazes me it holds up.

I think there’s still two episodes. The finale description mentioned that Nene goes off when Cynthia’s old friend returns. That Potomac trailer looks really good! They have a solid cast that manages to stay fresh. Bringing Katie back looks interesting.

@j swift Barbara is on the cast trip which I believe is to Miami. Since I posted I watched the other preview clip and both clips are centered around Barbara and she’s wearing a different outfit in both talking heads so she’s at 3 talking head looks for two episodes total. It seems so obvious she was a HW so I’m curious what happened to change it. Tinsley has managed to become a regular by doing nothing and yet you have a newbie who Bravo seems to like (they’re using her to promote the episode) so it just is weird. Regardless of that oddity I will say that the premiere was very strong. It hit on so many levels and felt like it flew by. I do wish they had new blood, but their chemistry works. It’s something you don’t have on Beverly Hills as an example. Good or bad and similar to ATL they give u the good, bad and the ugly which makes for a better show. I wish BH went back to their old style of being scandalous about the real things happening in their lives, not fighting over panties and dogs.

It’s too soon to have an opinion of Barbara, but I find it another odd case where Bravo has them film as a HW only to drop them. It’s very frustrating. I was watching a preview clip for tonight and it’s centered around a party Barbara is throwing, she’s already onto her second talking head outfit and they’re only two episodes in and she’s at the center of the upcoming drama. How did she not at least get a friend picture? It’s so weird. Even if she ended up being a one and done, if she filmed as a HW I wish they’d follow through! Just to go back to RHOBH again, I feel the season is going to suffer when LVP leaves. Tonight I was so bored by the stuff that didn’t involve her. I’m sure her solo scenes will be more interesting than what they do as a group because they seem so bland as a whole. I can’t imagine the cast trip being worth anything with only Erika, Kyle, Rinna, Teddi and Dorit going. They keep saying it’s like two seasons but I can’t imagine these boring girls carrying it with how much they control their imagine for the cameras. Not surprising Brandi and Kim will be back as they’ll need some conflict.

You can tell this was a plot from the other side when Dorit and Kyle barely batted an eyelash when LVP showed them the proof. Then on WWHL Kyle looked soo upset that nobody buys what they’re selling lol. They keep saying we will understand soon but I’m just not seeing it. Teddi said this episode would clear her and it didn’t. They just need to accept they messed up and take the L.

RHOA had 18 episodes last season, but last nights promo didn’t say finale so I’m assuming they’ll have 19 or 20 regular episodes this year. Reunion looks HOT. Nene isn’t speaking to anybody except Shamari and Marlo. She’s unfollowed everybody including Andy and Cynthia. It’s Wild because I felt she had a strong first half of the season but as she became more and more negative in regards to Greg is just snowballed for her. I can’t wait to see the reunion to see what actually causes her to meltdown. I know many found this season underwhelming, but I felt it was always entertaining and a good transitional season. They tried to infuse new blood and it worked. I’d love to see Kenya back next season and I’d keep Eva and Tanya around. I also feel like Marlo had a good season. Shamari was decent but definitely more of a friend I’d say.

I’ve never seen this show but I know it’s very popular which is why I think that’s the direction they’d take a spin off in. IIRC it even has higher ratings than BH so it would make sense to give it a spin off.

Ummmmm...Lisa Rinna is mobilizing the cast and threatening to sue if the rumored Vanderpump Dogs spin off happens. Btw, read the link. She came right out and said this. It’s not a rumor... Link: https://realityblurb.com/2019/03/07/rhobh-star-lisa-rinna-threatens-lisa-vanderpump-with-legal-action-over-her-new-spinoff-show-accuses-lisa-of-using-co-stars-to-launch-new-series/ Realistically if LVP is getting a spin-off, it’s for her restaurant in Vegas and based on the success of Vanderpump Rules. They’ve even stated for people working there that you have to be ready to appear on tv. I haven’t heard anything about a dog spin off, but regardless, these women are the ones pushing this in an effort to get her fired. Seeing how popular she remains they’re seething. This is just the craziest thing ever. Sorry to say it as a soap fan and someone who enjoyed her, but Lisa Rinna needs to be fired. How you threatening to sue the network you work for?

@Soaplovers The difference between season one and now is that these girls don’t have storylines to show. Other than Denise who has a wedding coming up and other than LVP they don’t have anything. That’s why they so carefully craft their imagine and storylines, like this LVP takedown. Erika’s husband and son won’t film with her, Rinna’s Family is mostly off doing their own thing, Teddi clearly has no story, Dorit’s real life is 100% off limits due to her endless lawsuits and Kyle always flounders without Kim. Honestly Camille deserved a diamond since she actually has a lot going on. My biggest problem with this weeks episode ties into what I just said about personal storylines. You have Lisa Rinna acting so concerned about how LVP is treating people, but what does it have to do with her? They hate each other and she saw an opportunity to pounce. Why not just say that? This phony concern doesn’t seem believable. Also, regardless of how you feel about LVP, it’s hard to ask me to sympathize with Dorit on ANY subject. She’s always come off phony and like a social climber. I don’t buy her sadness, I don’t buy her tears and I don’t buy everybody rallying around her. Had it been literally anybody else I feel the audience would’ve considered it...but Dorit?! Girl BYE! What she did to that dog was messed up and nobody (except Camille) will even consider that. My personal belief is they neglected the dog, it bit PK and DORIT dropped him off at a shelter. You can’t convince me Dorit didn’t drop that dog off and she did it bc she didn’t wanna pay that $5,000! Lastly, if Denise makes season two I want her to stay Denise. She is gorgeous and a true breath of fresh air. I love her hair, her style and her family. She is so rich but so down to earth. It’s insane how enjoyable she is.

I never was fond of this mockumentary style show, but in light of the incredibly sad passing of Luke Perry, I have even less interest. Has this been a proper continuation they could’ve given a nice tribute and send off for Dylan. I’m not sure how you can handle it here considering it will be a comedy. Such a sad cloud that will hang over this show and this cast as they prepare to start filming.

I loved the crossover episode. It’s my Housewives dreams come true. I think the new cast looks interesting. Different but still feels like Married to Medicine. You can definitely feel the LA flavor on it. I enjoyed the group of women who came from ATL. Overall I was just so impressed with Bravo for even doing this. I hope this does well and they consider it in the future. It always confuses me knowing wives are friends in other cities and often attend cast parties, but barring Betheny they’re mostly kept in the background.

I can’t believe they keep mentioning a reboot like it’s a bad thing. This is a one off that won’t do well in the ratings. A new drama with the original cast would basically be a new show at this point and could’ve lasted much longer than one six episode series. The buzz among fans getting to see those characters as adults would’ve been huge. Tori says this is what fans want...when has anybody asked for anything other than a proper reboot lol?! Remind me how Many seasons her (admittedly very good) So NoTORIous went. I still say the way to go is either a proper continuation with their lives as adults (think Knots Landing as reference) or even a combo of this cast with work Melrose Place characters in an California setting. I imagine this show will be mildly entertaining for a week or two and then we’ll get frustrated with how silly the actual clips from the “show” are. Plus no Brenda full time? Goodbye.

The biggest problem I have with this is that Dorit is at the center of it. Out of any of the housewives she’s the most phony and hardest to relate to. I can’t muster up any sympathy for her even if Lisa did set her up, because she is always lying about something. I had suspected that PK decided he didn’t want the dog and they took him to the shelter themselves. I never bought that they gave the dog to a friend and the friend immediately sent him to a shelter. Cue this article trom the John at Vanderpump Dogs: https://amp.toofab.com/2019/02/27/john-sessa-denies-rhobh-conspiracy-theory-suggesting-lisa-vanderpump-planted-dog-drama/?__twitter_impression=true Then Teddi is a disgrace acting so up in arms only for those damning text messages to be pulled out next week. The only real highlights involved Denise and LVP bonding. I thought Denise looked GORGEOUS this entire episode. Something about being at the beach, in the sun and just looking natural. I thought she looked like a total knockout, which I hadn’t felt in the first two episodes. I hope the girls don’t convince her to turn into a fake next season. She reminds me of Eileen in that she lets her natural beauty speak for itself. At first I found her a bit dull, but I’m starting to really enjoy her. She seems like such a good and down to earth person, which is shocking as she’s easily the most famous BH housewife ever.

I’d be all for Emma Samms and I also think if they want similar to Nicollette they could cast Eileen Davidson. Personally I loved Nicollette in the role and think she’s strong enough to handle whatever is thrown at her, but this season with the exception of a few episodes has been a self contained comedy mostly focused on quips. They haven’t used any of the cast to their advantage after a strong first season. At this point I just am watching as a soap fan and don’t expect much out of the show.

Was L Virginia Browne considered a good writer. She wrote AW from December 1980 until November 81 and then went to Guiding Light. I ask because I’m currently at the end of January 1981 and at least from my perspective the show is *terrible*. It feels like in just two months the pacing has become slow and the characters seem so bland. Then there’s all the cast changes. She pretty much banished the Holloway family, but kept Kit and her boring brother. Then they killed off Jerry’s mom and then proceeded to recast him which takes the dramatic impact of killing his mom since it’s a new actor. Then they kill off Tracey is a stupid story, when she had good chemistry with Russ and actual long term potential. One positive I will say is that I enjoy Leigh and Sandy, two new characters she brought on, but so far I’m not impressed. There’s just such a blandness to the show which you can especially see with the new Marianne and Jerry.

Andy needs to get Nicolette in WWHL! She going in retweeting comments about Lisa Rinna lying on her lmao! Poor Rinna getting it from everywhere. God can you imagine if she joined the cast?!

This is the problem I have with many of the women’s upset over Vanderpump not filming with them in the second half of the season: If you feel she didn’t do her job then why is it that every interview anybody does to promote the season is centered around Vanderpump? Whether it be the storylines or the fact that she stopped filming it’s about her. How can you argue she didn’t do her job if y’all are still saying the show is centered around her? Also, if rumors are true she did continue to film just not with the majority of them. These women are clearly feeling the sting of the audience taking her side, but they’re not helping themselves by making everything about her. Especially Rinna, but it makes sense when she’s the only interesting story she has. I’m very curious for the episodes after Lisa films. I can’t wait to see them implode without her as the punching bag.

Good for Denise! Nene just scored a co-lead role on a prime time pilot: https://deadline.com/2019/02/marley-shelton-nene-leakes-david-fynn-pop-pilots-ride-or-die-best-intentions-castings-1202560683/ Denise being cast on a soap is smart and overdue, but definitely surprised Nene got something with an actual recognizable cast. I figured she was done with acting. Jennifer Landon from Y&R and ATWT is also on the show.
