I've always hated Porsha as yall know, but this season she is really appalling, but I love that they are digging deep into her coochie crack. Even Nene, who is using her for a screen partner, is shading the hell out of her. She can stay if these draggings will continue!! And Cynthia is sublime this season. I've always liked Cynthia and from her first episode I feel like she has brought it completely independent of Nene. I hate that people think she's acting differently, because I feel we've seen this Cynthia each season, except her first when she got along with everyone.

Porsha and Claudia both confirmed they didn't know Claudia was going to be a housewife. Porsha thought she still had a peach and Claudia thought she was going to be a Friend. Demetria was meant to be the new housewife.

Confidence?! Nene?! She is the most insecure person on earth, which I also find part of her appeal!

Hater Nene is why she became so successful if we're being real. I LOVE insecure, hating Nene! She was fabulous last season!!

^ With Kandi it wasn't even about Wig. She was seething with jealousy from the moment she met Kandi because she knew Kandi had more money and status than her. She was SUCH A HATER! It was crazy. I just re-watched that season and couldn't believe how one-sided that feud was. Nene is a very entertaining hater though lol. That is when I like her the best.

Looking at the screenshots of Apollo's texas to Kenya, it was obvious he was trying to get some. He was texting her in the middle of the night clearly trying to set something up, but she wasn't biting. I wonder why nobody else every brings up the timing of those texas. Why was he texasing her in the middle of the night while Phaedra was asleep? I'm wondering when we're going to see Claudia properly introduced. We know Demetria was meant to be the new wife and Claudia was only made full-time as a result of her strong performance. I wonder if that means we'll continue to see her pop up as Kenya's sidekick before they actually add her to the credits and introduce her.

They ruined momentum by changing the dates around like that. They should've allowed it to end it's run after RHOA.

Yall are a bunch of evil devils. As a fairly new drag queen (about 6 months), I know how difficult it is to get the drag makeup right. Just kidding, she is so tired. I strongly believe somebody is trolling her because there is NO WAY that she can look as bad as she does and it not be on purpose. My guess is that she is a terror behind the scenes (I've heard this from people at work, in the hotel industry) and so they purposely mess up her hair and makeup not caring if they have to use her again. It's sad that with all her resources she can't beat her mug. I can't wait to see more of her this season though. I feel like she's going to be sour as hell.

Oh that is good to hear! I was just hoping I wasn't going to get hooked and she'd be gone shortly like Bethel Leslie. Glad she'll be around for several years.

Does anybody know how long Carolee Campbell played Carolee before Jada Rowland took over? I can't find any details on Wikipedia or IMDB with actual years for a lot of the cast members.

This felt very much like a special to catch us up on the girls. I didn't hate it, I actually liked it, but only because we know they're going to have at least 22 regular season episodes. I would prefer that (because they actually deliver) than the shortened New Jersey season with everything cut or condensed. I'm sure by episode 2 and 3 (and whenever the new girls arrive) things will start to pick up and tie together. I do think the contract issues with Nene will hurt the season overall. Tamara Tattles said not to expect a lot of Nene with the other girls, but primarily filming with Greg, Porsha and some scenes with Phaedra. She'll be absent from a lot of the group stuff as well. I really wouldn't be surprised if this was her last season if that pans out.

I liked this opening. They got us all caught up on everything, but it wasn't boring either. It was a good start to the season and next week looks good with the Kenya/Apollo confrontation. I am curious about when Claudia and Demetria will appear though. We know filming started early so there is really no telling. Episode 3 is when they typically add new wives these days, but it could be sooner or later. We'll see. I wonder if the same thing will happen with Beverly Hills since we know Taylor, Adrienne AND Camille are back in the beginning.

I really can't believe RHOA is back tonight. It seems like it has been forever and a day! I can't wait to see this first episode and how everything comes together. I'm also curious when they will announce a companion show for RHOA. I believe the three shows that will follow it are Thicker Than Water, Blood Sweat & Heels and Married To Medicine. Of course they could have a new show in the works and plan on moving one of those other shows to a new night, but they usually like to keep all the "black" shows on Sundays.

I know Joyce did have the Hollywood connections, but she just came off so low rent due to the way they associated her with Brandi and Carlton. I feel like last season was a failure because of producers NOT because of Joyce or Carlton themselves. They are the ones who pick which stories to pursue and they failed Carlton and Joyce in that regard. See I see that, but a good smart person can do well on reality tv, even Housewives. Kandi and Cynthia from RHOA have mainly just benefited and Carole and Heather did well on NYC. It's just that when people DO have a fall from grace it's usually huge.

I don't understand why people don't understand Eileen doing this. I could see her being honored that they're going for a top tier soap star and not just a random no-name. For Beverly Hills it makes perfect sense. I think a good number of soap stars wish they were in Eileen's position right now. They're trying to up the glamour because Joyce and Carlton, despite money, had no Hollywood connections and felt too down market for Beverly Hills. Perhaps they could've been on Orange County. In other news, here is the RHOA opening: http://straightfromthea.com/2014/11/07/why-porsha-really-lost-her-peach-andy-cohen-explains-video/#more-155433

Kim has gotten a HUGE pass for so many things because of her addition issues. Something like this though is open and shut. I could understand if the dog attacked one person, but FOUR?! Including her niece who he bit to the bone where she had to have TWO surgeries?! What is there to discuss?? What is WRONG with her? Instead of everyone dancing around her issues I want her to have to actually take responsilbiity for something and apologize. I've been long over her.

30 second RHOBH Promo with new footage: http://stoopidhousewives.com/2014/11/03/rhobh-preview-ad/

Interesting that rumors suggested a big riff between Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson, but Lisa Rinna listed Eileen as one of the people she's closest with (along with Lisa, Yolanda and Kyle). Rumors also suggested that Eileen and Kim were feuding, yet in the promo we only see Lisa Rinna throwing shade at Kim and then fighting with her. Of course it's a 2 minute trailer so things could change, but I like it when things don't turn out like you expect. Here's a link to their entrance interviews: Eileen: http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/eileen-davidson-real-housewives-is-so-surreal?cid=show_dish_blogs Lisa: http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/lisa-rinna-real-housewives-is-explosive?cid=show_dish_blogs

WOW!! That was a juicy trailer!!! Brandi accusing Eileen of being a homewrecker who tries to steal men, it looks like Brandi throwing a drink in Eileen's face, then something unexpected was Lisa Rinna and Kim Richards big catfight which seems to show lots of broken glass and violence. Even Lisa gets slapped. I was not expecting all of that! Looks like it'll be an interesting season and like there is more going on that the usual pile-up on one person like in the past.

Why did the wait so long to release a trailer when the premiere is so soon? Bravo needs to get it together. Look at all the great buzz RHONY is getting and filming just started. They need to be heavily promoting these series as they film, including RHOC.

But does Sheree even own Chateau Sheree at this point?

I hope that leaked RHOBH cast shot means that they'll reveal the trailer in a couple days. Why continue to wait if eveything is ready to go?

Honestly, Ana would've been a better choice than Rosie Perez. I also don't think ALL Real Housewives are dumb, which is why I feel banning them was stupid. I think LuAnn could be fun in this format or even Carole Radziwill.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too young for that! They should be modeled after early S Club or the original Sugababes IF you wanna go mature, but still age appropriate. Who allowed that to be filmed?!

It doesn't have to be Bethenny or Lisa, I was just using them as examples to add some levity to the show. It's too serious and lacking that fun element.
