I LOVED DC!!! Those ladies have every right to be upset they couldn't redeem themselves with a second season, but it is what it is. I'm glad my show is back one way or another. I loved the trailer for Potomac. Yes it wasn't super dramatic, but obviously it's the first trailer they've released. It'll be nice having a series centered around black wives again but that aren't of the Nene breed. It'll be interesting and different. I'm surprised Bravo surprised me. I'm also surprised this is a surprise to all of us. I remember Tamara Tattles posting about how they were rebooting RHODC and even correctly named three housewives, but I just figured she was crazy lol.

Mr. Vixen, don't be a hater. Last season premiered big, but the entire season hovored around the 3 million mark, including the season finale and all three parts of the heavily promoted reunion (with your girl Nene) which were all lower rated than this season premiere. This is why all unbiased articles clearly state that the show premiered well. It's ratings are on par or better compared to when the show went off the air. Stop hating. Nene will be back soon enough and you have To Tell The Truth if you really miss her.

I hated hearing all about "is the show gonna survive without Nene?" I love Nene, but she has barely been on the show so these other girls already been carrying it. With Sheree back and Marlo and Malorie the show will be fine. This premiere was the best episode since season 4. I LOVED everyone, including Phaedra and Porsha who I usually hate. This cast has chemistry and it felt like the old days. Lot of reading and shade and comedy, but nothing dark or heavy like the women hate each other. That's what I always enjoyed about this show. Like Sheree (who can read like no one's business) and Kenya, that is FUN to watch and hilarious. One thing I live for with Sheree is that no matter how broke down her ass gets, she will read you for filth and never back down. I LOVE her broke ass!!
My favorite moment other than Marlo referencing Nene (Donald Trump) was when Porsha told her man to take his book bag off. I had to pause and rewind because that shyt KILLED me!!! She just don't care no more! She came off like such a dumb country bumpkin this episode and I LOVED IT!!!! After suffering three horrible seasons with her I'm glad I can finally embrace her for the idiot she is. Phaedra looked beautiful. Plastic surgery has served her well. I love everything about her this season and I look forward to her throwing more shade and seeing where things go with Kandi.
I really can't say I have any complaints. I want to see Kim now and then how she interacts with the cast. I can already tell this is going to be a fun season.

This cd is EVERYTHING! On first listen I HATED it, then I was depressed and listened to it from top to bottom with my headphones and I can't stop playing it. Every song is good, the ballads, the uptempos, her vocals are good, the production is good. This is just the perfect album. I love that he has matured, but can still be relevant. Only crime is that I don't think we'll get the videos we deserve. Burn It Up, Damn Baby, 2B Loved, Broken Hearts Heal and so many others deserve videos.

Bethenny and Dorinda are filming with a new housewife named Julianne who kinda looks Asian to me. Plus Carole that's four. Honestly, they NEED to bring Jill back. As soon as the others started acting up I'd focus on Jill and Ramona. Luann and Sonja can be left in the past. I'm okay keeping them, but they don't deserve huge pay raises IMO.

Ampika is just sublime. She blew every follicle of hair off my head. I just don't understand how I didn't really notice her last season and this year she is the total star for me. I love how she effortlessly slays these hoes and it always right. When she read those wax figures for filth I lived. When she read Dawn I just laid down and died. She is such a queen! I continue to love Magali and the scenes getting ready for her wedding were flawless. One thing I love about this franchise is that it doesn't feel forced. When there needs to be major drama, they have it, but I don't feel like this group is overall as petty or thirsty for screentime/ratings that they have to make an issue of everything. As a result when they DO argue it's worth it. And still nothing feels very heavy. I LOVE this bunch! Seeing how this show is so much more opulence and fabulous than the others, I can't believe Bravo hasn't even given it the Melbourne treatment.

I've been re-watching this series once again now that it's on Amazon. i have it on DVD (bootleg) and with moving I lost my place somewhere in season six so I decided it was time to re-watch from the beginning in good quality. I'm currently in season two so the show is still good and I'm genuinely enjoying it. Alexis in season two is just sublime. Her style is unbeatable. I truly live for her here. With that said, I realized in all these years I've NEVER watched the reunion so I finally decided to do that. Now I knew it wasn't good just from reviews and fan accounts, but watching it I didn't think it was that bad. Some characters, like Fallon, are wasted, but overall it was decent Dynasty, typical of the middle years. It was over the top and glam and had humor and mystery and intrigue. I was okay with it. I expected half the characters to be out of character because thats what these writers do. One change I would've made is have Blake re-married to Sable while Krystal was in a coma and use that as your triangle instead of Miles and Jeff with Fallon. Miles wasn't needed AT ALL. But overall I'm glad I decided to watch it.

RHOBH and RHOM are both in Dubai at the same time filming their cast trips. Only two RHOBH cast members confirmed are the two Lisa's. I wish we had gotten a group pic so we could have a decent idea of what the cast will be. Since they're just filming that I imagine we may have to wait a little bit longer for RHOBH.
Speaking of waiting...where the hell is the RHOC reunion trailer? It premieres next week and still we have not even a tiny snippet of it? It's been the highest rated show on Bravo for it's entire season so you'd think they'd want to carry that momentum by promoting the reunion. Weird that they're not hyping it AT ALL when the season has been successful.
RHOCheshire has been flawless. I agree with DaytimeFan in that I like Dawn even though I don't like her, if that makes sense. Everyone except Tanya who brings nothing, is a vital part of the mix. I LOVE this series. I think it's even better than Melbourne, because while they've gotten more natural, Melbourne just felt too put on for that second season. If they decide to do a crossover with the two housewives series in Dubai I only hope the Melbourne girls act normal and not like fans. In season one of Cheshire I didn't have much of an opinion of Ampika, but I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE her now! I want to re-watch season one just to see if any opinions change. Does anybody know what Ampika's ethnic background is?

Cheshire was soooooo good! I hate how Leann and Dawn are LYING on Magali to justify their actions. Leann said she filmed it and is showing people because Magali is painting herself as a saint and downplaying what happened. That is a straight up LIE! Chantelle, Leann's own damn friend, said that Magali recounting the story exactly like it happened. She isn't denying it and even apologized for it. Dawn and Leann are thirsty for a storyline and a reason to dislike Magali so they'll play it for all it's worth.
Tanya is a stupid idiot. I never liked her, but I didn't mind her. Now I can't stand her tired raggedy ass. She's no friend to Ampika if she can't even own up to what Ampika allegedly did and even once she did, she wouldn't admit who told her. She's acting childish and STUPID--two things I can't deal with. OF COURSE Ampika is going to be upset with Tanya for not coming to her and for believing it.
So far I only LIKE Magali, Lauren and Ampika, but it's a very strong cast. I enjoy all the women as characters, but I definitely can't support the others. I do wish this show would do an international trip and send them to the US. I think that would be fun.

It's obvious Cynthia isn't a fighter so I tend to believe or feel I have the right to assume she was defending herself. Especially in light of the fact that this threatens Porsha as a full-time wife again. Obviously production would've seen the entire thing and be able to make a judgement. My guess is that the other ladies are not wanting to film with her after this last stunt. I hope this helps Marlo secure a peach.

TMZ and Tamara Tattles are reporting Nene and Kim's spin-off has been canceled. TMZ is saying it's due to scheduling of Don't Be Tardy and To Tell The Truth, but Tamara says Kim already tweeted filming was done on Tardy and Truth is a one week shoot. Tamara says that spin-off was an extension of her RHOA contract and since she didn't accept the contract that means Bravo is done with her period.
-
They need to bring back Marlo and Sheree. Now that Nene is gone I wouldn't change the cast too much. Only other person I'd remove is Lorsha. Phaedra, Kenya, Cynthia, Marlo, Claudia, Sheree and one new wife. That won't happen but it would be a fresh reboot, but not a drastic change since viewers already know Marlo and Sheree. With Nene gone familiar faces will be needed.

I love RHOC this year. I don't think it's slow or boring and I like that everything feels organic and not forced. I don't love Katie, but she isn't a big enough focus to bother me. I'm starting to think she was always meant as a Friend and not full housewife because she just seems so passive. That might change, but I don't think she was meant to be a full time housewife. I also don't believe Lizzie demoted herself, but she is performing well this year. Overall the dynamic works. I wish Jeana were a full time wife. She is exactly what they needed to fill the gap.

Bethenny annihilated Kristen and it was pretty epic. She was not having it at all lol. I lived. This season has been brilliant. Many on other boards try and act like Bethenny's getting special treatment in terms of editing, but I don't see that. This is like the old days when things were organic and one day someone can be the heroine and the next week they can be the total bitch. Even Bethenny acknowledges when she has bad weeks and is a total bitch, while Heather is blaming editing for her current woes. This season needs to be a template for the other series, OC as well. You don't need to force stuff and create season long feuds out of nothing. Throw an interesting group of women together and SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I just hope Bethenny continues to slay Kristen.

They were going to pay out Rosie's contract and say she was leaving for a new role, but when it leaked to the press they decided to keep her so they didn't get slammed like NBC when they fired Ann Curry. Still, I don't see a way she's back next season so I expect two new cohosts joining Whoopi, Nicole and Raven.
-
I don't think Heather is jealous, but intimidated by Bethenny and doesn't like that you have a new cast member who doesn't want to be her friend or who isn't impressed by her. She's been passive aggressive from the beginning , literally from the moment she met Bethenny. Lucky for her Bethenny is a mess herself, so it makes Heather look slightly less desperate due to Bethenny's over top reactions.
-
Heather is bizarre this season. Why is she so bothered? I knew she would be intimidated by Bethenny and she has, at every moment. Plastic night was more of the same. Get off of Brthenny's dick and move along Heather. Regardless it's obvious they don't clock so move on. There are 6 other ladies in the cast. She seems so desperate to be a part of Bethenny's story and it looks ridiculous at this point.

I don't think her voice is gone, but she needs to sing to her new voice and leave the past in the past. Dionne Warwick for example smoked her voice out, but she saved herself by obviously training and learning how to sing in her husky, more limited tone. She managed to have hits all through the 80s. Mariah can do it if she wants to. She could sing Adele's songs in her current range.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
in NBC | Peacock
I don't think they're taking it out on them. That's typical shade throwing. I do wish at least Stacy or Lynda could've been a part of this version, even as friends.
