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.

This week was boring as hell for BH! I felt last season it was dry because this cast just was missing something and with Denise I feel the same way. She feels more like a friend if anything. Of previous housewives who could’ve given it spark, I feel Eileen or Kim would’ve been helpful, but overall they need to cut at least two people next season and bring in strong new blood. These women have allowed their personas to become too controlled and as a result you get a bland show. Personally (and I know it wouldn’t happen) I’d get rid of Dorit and Erika. Bring two new wives with money who will actually showcase their real lives. More than anybody they are so controlled about what they present and it just rings false.

Only people I would want back on New Jersey are the twins. I thought they fit in perfectly and didn’t deserve to get fired. I would’ve kept them, added Dolores and skipped Siggy. Caroline and Jacqueline I can’t see fitting in with the new group. I also feel we’ve been there done that with Jacqueline. If anything, keep the cast the same and add. They finally had a rock solid season where everybody earned their paycheck. They should be confident enough in their casting to not have to revisit the past.

Kyle lost me when Lisa was crying over her brother and she said “I’ve been going through things too!” Tf? This is episode one so the beginning of filming and Lisa is clearly upset so you can’t argue she was creating a cover when they started bashing her, it’s there from the start. This felt like typical Beverly Hills in that they’re going to create a big thing out of nothing. I look forward to the second half of the season when Vanderpump stops filming with them. I want her solo scenes to be spectacular and for her popularity to soar. These girls make me sick!

This is such upsetting news ugh. I can’t believe someone would be so stupid.

I feel like everybody uses Vicki for cover so if she’s truly gone (seems like she is), I’m curious how things would shift without her to blame for everything that goes wrong.

Looks like RHOA will continue to get better and better!

Rumor mill on Twitter is that Vicki night leave OC over contract negotiations!

Victoria is very active on Instagram. She never posts pictures of herself and neither has her son, but she posts endless pictures of her art work and her beautiful farm. Btw I read her interview with Wikipedia from a few years back and I had no idea she wrote for the show. In the interview she mentions that PGP would pay her for long term story for the show, not necessarily for Rachel either. She also mentioned writing a 500 page bible when they wanted her to take over officially as head writer. The talent this lady has is incredible.

That horrible cliffhanger for season 12 was from the new writers who ranked the show the following year. They were going for a more gritty and realistic approach and every story seemed to revolve around some sort of crime or social issue. I found season 12 to be very fun and enjoyable so it’s a shame it was followed up with such a bad season. After production was shut down and they did the mid season reboot it improved tremendously, but by that point you’d lost Julie and Jason who could’ve been valuable and I’ll always regret we finally get a story with Val and Greg (who surprisingly had strong chemistry) and then Joan Van Ark left the series! What timing!

Nene makes it so hard to Stan for her. How the hell u mad at Lisa Vanderpump about a bar you never opened?! Not in West Hollywood, not in Atlanta, not in your basement! This is so insane I can’t begin to understand. Was Pump the only available lot in West Hollywood?!

New York looks tired IMO. After losing Carole, who had such a major part in last season, they needed a new wife. Barbara looked boring so I’m not surprised she’s only a friend. Jill can only be so useful as a guest. Tinsley is always an extra so I don’t expect her to pull her own weight either.
