Chris B

I agree DaytimeFan. Chris is married to Kim and they have kids. If you google him and look at the rumors, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING concrete or even strong. Simply people saying because he seems gay he must be. No men are coming out saying they were with him or anything. It doesn't matter and it's not a story. Kenya said that to be messy and start drama like when she mentioned the texts from Apollo then backpedaled when they saw the texts and didn't see anything inappropriate. Not every man is the same and it's offensive to gay people to assume Chris is gay because he fits a few STEREOTYPES of gay people.

RHOD looks awful. The trailer and casting is underwhelming and the intro is horrible. The girl at the end had the worst tagline and delivery and yet the close with her? The CGI stars is a great idea, but the execution is so cheap looking. I'm not a fan of what they're bringing at all.

I'M SICK OF HEARING THAT KIM DOESN'T FIT IN! She does! She is perfect! They needed to change things or they could've kept Claudia and Demetria. I like that she brings a different vibe. She didn't know anybody so obviously it was going to be an adjustment, but once they adjusted she was just fine. I think by next season she will be a perfect fit. I LOVED that reunion trailer! Porsha trying to come at Nene was HILARIOUS! Porsha and Phaedra better be careful next season! Kim was getting Kenya IN CHECK! I LOVED IT!!! Kenya was slaying as well and that is THE BEST she has ever looked at a reunion! Oh I cannot wait! I know it's a little short, but this has been a very solid season for them. A nice comeback season.

Okay large cast whatever, but NO MAGALI?! She was the star of the first two seasons BY FAR! I can't even look at any of the info because I no longer care.

Okay New York is bringing it. Looks VERY good. Just the right cast changes, you don't even miss the other two. 

OC it's been said all ladies are back. Lydia is filming something involving the show, but not sure if it's new or for a special. Many speculate it's a special since she's posting behind the scenes of her filming talking heads and they usually wouldn't allow that if you're returning to the show in an official capacity. NYC only thing we know is that Bethenny said herself she tipped her toes in the water last season, but she's heavily involved in the drama this year. They also have a half-Asian new housewife named Julianne. 

I'm curious how OC will go if it pretty much keeps the same cast. I need them to move on from the Brooks drama. I don't want until Vicki pile up. They tried that last season and it isn't entertaining and it doesn't work. Similar to Beverly Hills always trying to make Vanderpump the outcast.

I'm not concerned with Kim right now. What I would like to focus on is the rumored RHONY announcement for today! Andy said it's sooner than we expect and rumors are today. I hope by the time I wake up I have a trailer and new pictures. I'm excited because we have very little information other than the new housewife. I'm curious what they give us. I hope it's a good season. I imagine maybe they'll air it as RHOBH winds down and we will have RHONY and RHOD for a while. I don't expect RHONJ until LATE this year and same for RHOC which will probably push RHOBH out of it's typical November premiere. We shall see, but I'm excited.

Jersey just isn't fun. Even in the first season I felt like it was a chore to watch until we got to the table flip. They have huge moments, but the day-to-day stuff is incredibly boring with them. They could've saved that show by bringing in non-related housewives around season 4, but since they never did it just is too late to save it. I'm interested in seeing their trailer whenever that comes later this year. I feel like it's going to be another boring season.

See, I don't think Katie is bringing anything out. She's always been clear on being biracial and proud of both sides. Her wearing her hair like that doesn't shock me. Even on the show she doesn't perm it, she just flatirons it so you can clearly see she is still black. I like Katie. She's dumb as a sack of rocks, but she isn't trying to hurt anybody. She's fun to watch and I look forward to seeing where future seasons would take her, especially without this current boyfriend.

Things are getting juicy!! I can't wait for next week. I wonder if Erika will own up to bringing up the thing about Bella and Anwar or will she let Rinna take all the heat. I LOVED Kathryn giving it to Kyle. She is effortless and she is right. I understand Kyle is friends with Faye, but how does she have no objectivity, especially about something so serious. We all know that book was a cash in. At the very least she could chalk it up to Faye being in a bad place and turning her life around. Trying to justify it is foolish. 

Looks much better than season two!

I feel bad for Lisa Vanderpump (and Rinna) because I truly believe they're right, but Yolanda is so shifty that she won't be as easy as Brooks to figure out. Even Lisa letting it slip that Mohammed told her those kids weren't sick, I believe her, but even though he told her that, he's obviously going to be upset since it was told on confidence. Even his statement about it didn't say those kids were sick, it simply said family affairs are private. I can't wait to see how the reunion goes. I feel like the Lisa's will go down in flames and if Yolanda even shows up she will play brain dead (literally) and then dip out like last season. I wish they had written her off until she got "better." This story isn't even interesting and she isn't on enough to have earned that diamond. She should've been a friend popping in and out like Brandi and Kim later in the season.

If I have to hear one more comment about weaves on RHOP I will just be done. Karen and Charrisse have struggle weaves worse than Flavor of Love girls, yet they want to sit here going in on Gizelle?! They WISH they looked as good as Gizelle on her worst day. Let's start with Karen--she's married to the "Black Bill Gates," but has an outdated kitchen, old Mercedes and her weave is not only unflattering, but poorly put in and poorly dyed/styled. Girl go sit down. Charrisse--she is very homely looking to begin with, but her styling and BEYOND struggle weave just kills her. Not flattering for her face at all and it looks like a tacky weave sewed in too far back because she doesn't have edges. HORRIBLE style. At least Karen looks better in her talking heads, Charrisse still looks a mess. I expect her to have the biggest downfall this season. Her husband don't want her tired ass.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the other girls though. Robin is laid back but fun. Gizelle irritated me with the thot comments on Ashley, but she was within her rights. I mostly just wanted her to love Ashley so they could form a power team and shut out Charrisse and Karen. I LOVED Ashley. She is young and spunky, but feels fresh. Her husband was actually cute and not what I expected. I LOVED their condo. It was stunning. I look forward to more of her. Katie is a TOTAL TOTAL airhead, but she remains fun. I think she's harmless but making a fool of herself. Her boyfriend is giving me flashbacks to Bethenny and Jason 1.0 during RHONY season one. Looking forward to next week.

RHOA is getting stale, but is still watchable. Next week we know will be good and probably carry the rest of the season. I enjoy Kim Fields, but that brunch was a mess. At this point and especially with a stylist, she needed a better outfit. She looked like she just got out of bed. Her hair was ATROCIOUS!!!!!!!!! The worst!!!! I usually like her hairstyles, but her own hair was a completely different color than her wig and the roots were growing in bad and it just looked awful. I can't imagine why she couldn't have done her hair similar to what Sheree had. Kenya vs Kim has me firmly on Kim's side. Cynthia is stupid for trying to include Kenya in this commercial shoot when clearly Kim is the one with the talent and time to pull it off. I love Kenya, but this fight with Kim is only making her look bad.

They are totally Nene! I just hate them looking down their noses at people like they did something. They married good, that's it. Have some humility. I am praying for a downfall for both of them.

I enjoyed RHOP and I think the second season trailer gave me enough to be hooked. Overall the cast is alright, but I definitely see some retooling season two. My initial thoughts:

Gizelle - LOVE LOVE LOVE her! I didn't feel like she was trying too hard and her presence was strong. I enjoyed her. She's funny and doesn't take herself seriously. You can tell she truly does have the legacy she speaks of because she isn't stunting like the rest. She's just going to have a good time and call it a day. I loved her wig at the party, but hate that the wig strap was showing lol.

Karen - She's entertaining, but she is tired as hell. Her style, her house, her HAIR she is tired. She has the worst manners and she put me firmly on Team Gizelle. How you gonna be late to a party and complain about ANYTHING? That is not proper etiquette, that is rude and tacky. Then if you gonna read someone with a gift, make sure it doesn't look like the packaging and frame came from the dollar store. She is TIRED. True new money who is always trying to front like she is so fabulous.

Charisse - HATE HATE HATE! Bitch they thought you were section 8 because you are! She is TIRED TIRED TIRED! I cringed for her lack of edges and those throwback pics which made her look like the hoodrat she claims to hate so much. She is probably fronting more than all of them. I HATED her! All the talk of the ghetto was just classless. The way she treated Gizelle was unspeakable. How the hell you gonna invite her to a party, have her cook and treat her like that? She LEFT her so don't complain if she can't find stuff and is loud in the kitchen. As for her bringing a plus one, that is par the course for a casual party. Not to mention the fact that Gizelle had to rush and get ready due to having to cook. She legitimately needed help getting ready. I hope this season is a season of downfalls for this monster. 

Katie & Robyn - I don't have much to say about either of them, but I liked them. Katie is probably the most gorgeous woman ever cast and I like that she seems lighthearted and carefree. I feel like she will be the rational one and I look forward to that. Robyn didn't do anything major to stand out, but she was fun and I like her relationship with Gizelle.

Overall more than anything I need these women to fix their weaves. After watching and seeing that it pretty much is a DC reboot, I do wish we could've gotten a DC housewife in there. I think Lynda and Stacie could've fit in as Friends at the very least.

My thing is, I don't feel Kim needed to step it up or prove anything. They took a risk and cast someone who is different from the current cast. You have to anticipate time for her to  get to know the girls and get comfortable with the situation. I think she's already provided many great moments and her solo scenes are fun. Now that she knows the girls I'm not surprised things are picking up for her story. She's finally in the mix. I can't wait to see how she interacts with Nene.

I'm dead! First we get the MidSeason trailer for RHOA and it is FIRE! Nene vs Kenya. Cynthia vs Kenya. Kim vs Kenya which looks HUGE! It looks like when Nene agreed to return they extended filming which explains why they were still filming at Christmas time. I think this is going to end up as one of the top three seasons for this show. I like that they got to prove themselves without Nene and now she's back recharged and can add her dynamic to the group. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Kim Fields too. I would've never guessed her and Kenya would end up being such enemies on the show.

With that said, here's the trailer: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta/season-8/videos/still-to-come-this-season-on-rhoa

Also, RHOP intro has been released and it's by far the best I've ever seen. The music, the visuals and the girls look STUNNING. Gizelle and Katie are flawless.

Here is a wonderful expose about Yolanda's lyme disease and it uncovers all the lies. I'm one who feels she has something, but not what she says and she is playing for sympathy/story as well. I hope the housewives read this and bring their receipts when they go on WHHL and the reunion. This could ruin their reputations, don't let Yolanda bring you down over her fake storyline.

Article is three parts: https://realskepticsoftv.wordpress.com/2015/12/23/the-chronicles-of-yolandia-an-investigation-of-cld-part-i-the-basic-breakdown/

The new housewife isn't introduced until after the New York trip which airs in January. She didn't start filming with the ladies until immediately after that. So episode 6 or 7 depending on if they introduce her early. With Yolanda, I can't stand her and it makes me sad the women are gonna get so much heat for being judgemental when that is all Yolanda has been since she joined the show. In addition to the instagram pictures, each season she acts like shes on deaths door in the off season and is magically well enough to film again. This year she took it a step further and it's only natural that they're suspicious. If she's so sick why the hell is she committing to a show where she has to travel, be social and under endless stress? She's full of it. I don't doubt she has something, but she is obviously playing it up. If she claims to have Lyme then what she is doing clearly isn't for Lyme disease. I'm over her.

I love Kim Fields on RHOA. This episode highlighted how well she fits. I like that she's different from the others and that they went against type when casting her. I don't want her to leave, in fact I'd give her a huge bonus to sign on again. The way she squashed the drama between Cynthia and Porsha was flawless. She is a total queen! I like that she isn't afraid to speak up and she isn't a punk. She's staying true to herself and seems to be enjoying the experience. LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!

Porsha continues to be an idiot. Not surprised, don't care. I do wonder what this fight plus the finale fight means for her. Nene was very shady towards her on WWHL, which makes sense since she saw the last fight. I think it's to the point where even her supporters have to give up on defending her.

Many complained that the premiere was boring so I put off watching it and I need to stop listening to others! This was soooo much better than anything on OC last season. I didn't find it boring at all! A good dose of the Beverly Hills glamour we long for, as well as lots of funny bits, catching up on everybody's lives with some shade and drama thrown in. They gave me EVERYTHING I needed in a season premiere. I totally agree with Gray Bunny that the show is just fine had it been five official housewives. In case yall don't know (I forget if anybody mentioned it), but Yolanda's friend Angie Simpson was supposed to be the new full-time housewife, hence why she's around and not the others. She couldn't get a work visa so they had to stop filming with her which is why the new ladies aren't there yet. I wonder why they added Erika to the credits but not Andrea when it seems it will be some time before either appears. I hope they fit in and aren't duds because right now there really isn't a need for them.

I don't care how messy she is, I LOVE LISA RINNA and I always will! She is unflitered and says it like it is. I have no problems with her. One of the only truly honest housewives. I've never liked Yolanda and she is going to be *so* draining this season. I like that Lisa didn't give her a pass with Kyle and acknowledged they weren't close to begin with so why would she be making more of an effort? An interesting thing in Lisa's blog is that she mentioned the reason they were talking about Yolanda is because at that point they didn't know if she was even going to be a housewife. At this point they assumed the cast was Lisa, Lips, Eileen, Kyle, Angie I'm assuming. I'm still extremely shocked Yolanda managed to squeeze out enough material to be a full-time wife. She's always done this each year where she acts like she's on her death bed during the hiatus, then is perfectly fine come filming time. This year she's finally playing the sick card and whether it's true or not, her appearances have always been so calculated I can't care too much. 

In other news, I need The Real Housewives of Potomac to premiere already. I loved DC and I feel like I'm going to love this one as well. I need more. A new promo or something.

Angie Simpson released that statement after the pictures from the premiere came out. She is in almost all of them so people were asking. Interesting to know. I wonder how it would've gone with her as a wife and who would've been cut to fit her in. I also wonder if this means we won't meet the two new wives for a while, since they originally planned to have her there.

The big boat storyline with Porsha and Cynthia starts in episode 4! Shocked it's so soon. I thought the season would be going for a while before the big stuff started happening. Now don't get me wrong, I'm VERY excited, just surprised it happened so early in filming.

I think they were fine with Nene, but she is very sensitive when she feels she's being picked on. I liked the interview overall though.

Just an FYI for RHOA, ratings went up to 3.1 million so things are going well this year. People tuned in for the premiere (which jumped from 2.9 to 3.7 million in the Live+3 ratings) and apparently liked what they saw. I'm a big fan as well. It reminds me more of Orange County this season. You have some real relationship issues with some of the couples and it's like the girls are all being reintroduced to each other. Phaedra and Porsha in particular, because with Nene gone they completely need to find their footing again. They're the minority. I hope that Phaedra and Cynthia can truly build a friendship because they're very watchable together. Porsha is slow and a trainwreck and embarrassment but she is bringing it this season. I'll accept that you need that one total disaster and she's filling that slot well. Her party was cringeworthy. Kim Fields was AMAZING! She's so well spoken and funny and natural on camera. I know she's a child star but I didn't expect her to be natural as a reality star. I don't feel like she's playing for the cameras, everything about her felt real. Natural makeup, even her interview look was very normal. I hope she remains true to herself. I want to see her integrated in the group so bad. Sheree and Marlo continue to impress in their supporting roles and I truly feel both should be full time housewives. At least Marlo since she has a house she can film in. I bet her talking heads and solo scenes would provide much needed comedy. You could probably swap her in for Porsha and not skip a beat. I probably would've reversed their roles.

With Cheshire on Bravo I decided to re-watch season one and I hadn't realized how BAD the production values were. TERRIBLE! And their fashion is horrendous. They got a HUGE upgrade in season two. HUGE! Ampika and Tanya looks HORRIBLE. And you can tell Dawn looks haggard and after the season aired she got plastic surgery on her face. Her face looks swollen in her talking heads but she looks good now. Another thing I hadn't realized was how horrible they were to Magali. Washington Post had an article that said it looked so bad having these Anglo women picking on the dark skinned one, but that is clearly what it is. When Dawn was explaining her problems with Magali she kept saying how Magali will kiss up to anyone to build her social profile, but in two seasons we haven't seen anything like that from her. The entire first episode they were all (including Ampika) so horrible to her. The only one who wasn't was Lauren. I was shocked. It makes me appreciate where Magali was coming from in season two now that I've rewatched it. She can't catch a break from day one. When Dawn called to invite her to the ball she was so mean and refused to even let Magali apologize and explain the misunderstanding. It was that moment I knew everything I needed to know about Dawn. She simply wanted to fight.
