Whoopi has been the problem for AGES. She's ignorant and doesn't allow people to express their opinions if others don't agree with it. In the moderator position she is a disaster. She was good at first, but it's obvious that it's just about the money at this point and she is sucking the life out of the show.

I think Perez is for sure It next year so I expect three new co-hosts. Raven seems like a sure thing and Cristela could be Rosie's replacement. Overall I still find The View to be unwatchable lately. It's on its last legs creatively. Whoops needs to go badly. Had she not been on this season I guarantee yiu ratings would've been up and the show would be doing much better creatively.

I don't believe her. Andy has said he lets the hiusewives script their exits/demotions out of respect. Katie Hamilton filmed half a season as a fulltime wife. That's 6 wives right there all with story lines from what we've heard. Lizzie was barely holding on last season so she was always going to be demoted or fired. My guess is they'll hope she has the same spark Luann had when she got demoted.

RHOA reunion was unwatchable. If it continues like this I'm over the show. No further comment needed. In happier news, the RHOC promo was everything. The new girl seems interesting and it looks dramatic. I can't believe Vicki learned her mom died in a random phone call during a HW party. That is insane. It's going to be a rollarcoaster ride. I'm glad Lizzie is a Friend because she was extremely boring. I also like that they are confident enough to only have five main wives. Going into their 10th season, they still set the standard.

I HATE HATE HATE Heather and Carole this season. I've always liked Heather and then Carole became one of my all-time favorite housewives so this surprises me. My problem with Heather is that she seems so phony this season like she's trying too hard to appear nice. She's playing too the cameras more now that she knows she has to fight for screentime. The past two years she was being showcased first as the new rich Housewife and then as a central player in all the drama, since everybody wanted to be connected with Heather. Now she just isn't settling in the way I had hoped.
Then with Carole, my god, how is this the same woman?! Sex and the City itself is dated, why the hell would I want to watch her recreate it? I don't mind her dating a younger man, but it seems like her entire personality has changed and like she's going out of her way to create this cutesy, dumb persona. I'm not a fan. I don't like her at all this year. I don't like the way the feud with Luann is developing either. It was better when they felt like equals. Now that Carole is playing dumb it doesn't click.

A lot of people have been hard on Bethenny, but I love her this season. She has given them the right spark. I also completely understand her abrasiveness because she is being thrown in, the center of attention and is still trying to figure out where she fits. I will say on the subject of Heather, I'm completely Team Bethenny. I always knew Heather held a grudge from comments Bethenny made on WWHL about her and she's retaliating in a stealth way. The first time they met the first thing Heather said was how Luann helped create the Skinnygirl Margarita, which isn;t even true. Then going in on Bethenny's problems with Ramona which should be completely irrelevant to developing a friendship with BETHENNY. Now we have her stirring the pot about Bethenny not inviting someone she doesn't even know to her birthday party. She needs to mind her own business. Yes Bethenny was abrasive in her response, but why is Heather even asking? Let Kristen talk to Bethenny. Bethenny said on Twitter she reacted like that because it felt like Heather was trying to manipulate drama when they're interesting enough not to do that. I agree with Bethenny. If you look at the early seasons they didn't need to have everybody at every event or create drama, it was just natural. Especially on this franchise. If anything, Bethenny deserves a lot of credit for openly cutting through the crap, especially the producer driven crap and letting these girls know she won't participate. It's SO MUCH more interesting that way!

The thing with Claudia is that she wasn't meant to be a housewife, so she deserves a full season to see how she would work out. It's obvious that she was edited into the pre-Puerto Rico episodes and as a result she didn't have much non-group footage after that time. I think she did a good enough job, certainly better than Porsha and deserves another year. I also don't think she came for Nene as much as she couldn't let it go after their initial conflict.

Ramona was low down and dirty with Luann so I didn't expect Luann to completely accept her apology and move on. They both handled it correctly Luann by being upfront about her reservations and Ramona for accepting that and agreeing to move forward in a positive way. NYC is on fire this season though. I will say that Kristin is absolutely useless and unneeded and Heather would be right there if she didn't start this feud with Bethenny. I figured this would happen because with Bethenny back Heather knew she'd no longer be the focus. Not only is she intimidated by her, but Bethenny made such dismissive comments about her on WWHL and you know tha irked Heather, hell her Twitter feed proved that. Looking at how they met and the promos where each time it's Heather confronting Bethenny for something she felt was wrong, you know Bethenny is going to eat her ass up and I can't wait!
LOVE Dorinda, Carole is enjoyable this season, Sonja is as much a mess as ever, but more interesting now that she doesn't have Ramona on her side.

Ugh! I wanted it a little sooner like Mid-May. I wonder when we'll get pictures and a trailer. I WANT IT NOW!!!! In other news, I read an article that said a former RHONY housewife is returning and that we'll know who it is by the end of tonights episode. It also said that she didn't get along with a current wife and that when they reunite it isn't very pleasant in episode 3. I think it's obviously Kelly, but the website was trying to hype it up like it might be Jill, Alex or Aviva. I am going to confidently say it is Kelly.

Lisa Rinna said she stands behind her tweets about Kim, even though she deleted them to end the drama. I can understand how she started to backtrack. She apologized and Kim said not to bring it up again so she intended to keep her mouth shut. At the dinner it became obvious Kim is just not at a mental level to have a discussion with anyone, so why would she engage her by saying what Brandi said and risk another Kim explosion? I just hope going forward she completely cuts Kim off. No more wushu washy behavior. Just be done with her and tell her to !@#$%^&*] off whenever she approaches you.

Mariah Carey Thread
in Music & Movies
Mariah could've evolved, but she hasn't by her own faults. She refuses to update her look which has now made her a joke. She can still be sexy, hell, super sexy if she wants, but she needs to update that damn look and stop wearing those tight tiny dresses. She also needed to evolve her musical style ages ago and has been trying to recreate The Emancipation of Mimi for 10 years now. I hate it because she is so talented and so flawless and has revived her career so many times. I hope she gets one more go-around because she is flawless.
In other news, I've been feeling Mariah lately so I've been wanting to do one of her songs at a drag show. Last saturday I had planned to do It's Like That, then the power went out so we didn't have a show. Tonight the weather was good, no rain or anything and I was going on stage to do It's Like That. The intro kicked in and as soon as I started lipsynching I heard a boom and the damn power went out lol. I'm scared to attempt this song a third time, but we'll see. I'm going to try it again tomorrow.
