I like this panel, but they went TOO serious. They needed a Real Housewife, I strongly believe that. Somebody to bring the laughs. A Bethenny or Lisa Rinna could've done wonders for this show.

Photo's and details on RHONY: http://www.realitytea.com/2014/10/27/photos-real-housewives-new-york-kicks-filming-bethenny-frankel/#/slide/1 Kelly is back as well, obviously so they can revisit the feud with Bethenny. I think that has potential to be more interesting than bringing Jill back. At least Kelly is light hearted and crazy. I too agree with all the sentiment that I just don't see Carole/Heather/Bethenny getting along. ETA: On the subject of RHONJ: Secrets Revealed PART 1, I felt that was pointless because it was obviously just an episode that was cut out of the original sequence. That wasn't a secrets revealed. Some of that stuff was in the supertrailer and it was obvious that was meant to be an episode. I feel Bravo's sloppy editing and cold feet is what made this season feel so choppy. Why let it be so boring when you had some juicy stuff like the Atlantic City stuff, the twins being assholes and Kathy and Teresa fighting?

I was confused when Kenya tweeted about a girls getaway for Phaedra's birthday, then I realized it was the cast trip and it all made sense. I guess Puerto Rico was an early in the season trip and right now the girls are on their way to Korea. Nene is the only person who didn't go. All reports say they didn't plan on Claudia being a housewife until they saw the footage and she had a huge blow up with Nene in Puerto Rico. So we'll probably be in for another extra long season, which is fine by me!

I always hated Wesley so I'm glad she'll hopefully get the edit she deserves. I can't wait to see Mica again!

I couldn't find a Blood, Sweat & Heels thread, but since it's basically a HW show I thought I'd put the info here. Geneva hit Melyssa in the head with a vodka bottle and is now is jail. Melyssa had to get staples to close the wound and also she cut her foot on the broken glass. Of course cameras were filming. Here is video of the fight: http://instagram.com/p/ucW5JPPdIv/ I always thought some of those women should've been put on RHONY to spice it up. Will be interesting to see their super trailer.

The Asian lady was said to be doing a test shoot, something she had already done for season one or two. I wonder if they'll use that footage and just tag her as a "Friend of" Brandi? I too had wondered about the Shah's delay, but I think that was specific to that production company. Even with that show Bravo has now taken over and replaced the striking editors with their own people.

I think I may have an explanation for the delay in Beverly Hills. We know Vanderpump Rules started filming first and since the two shows have crossover episodes they couldn't start them at the same time so those episodes would sync up. Also, it looks like Eileen started filming later than Lisa Rinna, so that could've been another reason to delay things, by them extending filming so she'd be featured throughout the season. Of course for all we know Eileen could've been filming all along and we simply didn't know about it. All of the early reports were focused on the returning cast and Adrienne & Camille's returns. All I know is that I CANNOT WAIT and I want to see pictures very soon. That's all I ask--a cast photo and a supertrailer. Premier it whenever you want but GIVE ME SOMETHING! This Bethenny Frankel news created HUGE buzz for RHONY. Bravo needs to look at that and keep these shows in the minds of viewers in their off season. I'd even go as far as have incoming cast members like Eileen and Lisa on WWHL, just so the audience gets familiar with them.

You've never seen the first 3 seasons?! You are missing so much. Bethenny truly is the Nene of this franchise. Season 3 is classic. She brings it all, comedy, drama, cattiness, excellent reunion performance, u name it. Bethenny is the [!@#$%^&*].

When Bethenny appeared on WWHL during RHONY's most recent season, she basically said how obnoxious Heather is with the pseudo-ghetto lingo and what not and Heather got pretty pissed. They were going at it on Twitter about it.

That is so exciting! I am looking forward to this. It'll also be nice to have a season without a true new housewife. We'll get to jump into the action with Bethenny's return and her getting to know the newbies, plus Kristin won't be a newbie anymore. I think they have potential to have a great season. Heather and Bethenny already don't get along so this could be fun. I also wonder where Carole will fit in the swing of things. She can no longer be the greek chorus because that is Bethenny's job.

Wow! Exciting that they're finally being smart and PROMOTING things like this! Real Housewives of Melbourne had worldwide recognition even before the season was filmed because they released info on the cast, pictures, etc. which is a good way to build buzz. With the way these series are going (especially with new cast members), they need to start releasing this info and promoting certain things during filming to help build buzz and anticipation.

That E! article confirmed the Secrets Revealed airs before the 3 part reunion. Now that I think about it, it's obvious they want the Jersey episodes to boost their November sweeps ratings. I know they're probably hurting by not having Shah's of Sunset when they anticipated airing it.

Sad about Marlo, but looking forward to seeing what happens with RHONY's cast. Filming has started and we know Carole, Sonja and Heather are still cast. Of course it's likely that Ramona and LuAnn are as well, we just need confirmation on everyone else. I think Kristen could still be up in the air and we won't know if it's true about Bethenny or Jill until we see it.

LOL! She is going to make herself look so bad. By reunion time they are going to dig deep into Phaedra's ass. There is no hope for her.

The fight in Punta Cana involved Teresa getting punched I believe and a big brawl. They edited that out because the court case was pending I believe. And I'm sure whatever finale we get will be entirely paced together and considering all the footage edited out, it won't make a ton of sense.

I was looking at Andy Cohen's Twitter and he replied to somebody complaining about the short RHONJ season. They mentioned the second cast trip (which included Teresa) to Atlantic City and Andy said that will be in Lost Footage. Now that just pisses me off. I had forgotten about that trip, but during the lead up there were several articles and tweets talking about how explosive that trip was, with a lot of drama involving Amber. It frustrates me even more that just when things are getting good they're wrapping the season up. I wish we could've seen all this in full. Also, apparently, the Lost Footage will air first and the reunion will start the following week.

They are taking WAY too long with the Beverly Hills trailer and gorgeous photos. They have me fucked up. With this type of delay the earliest I expect them in December and that is too long for me to wait! BTW, is anybody else sick and tired of no new ATL cast photos? It is one thing not to have a new opening (they won't, Kenya confirmed), but no cast photo for your highest rated show is unacceptable. They've been using these pictures for 3 seasons now!

See, that is exciting and it makes no sense to cut the season now. They should've kept going! Things are getting juicy. It was bound to be boring to start because unlike others, New Jersey didn't slowly introduce the new ladies in the previous seasons. They basically had to introduce us to them, then introduce the girls to each other, let them get to know each other and now 10 episodes later there is conflict. That is normal.

The season finale will put them at 14 episodes, which is shorter than the 18 episodes they had last season, 20 for the year before and then 19 for the year prior to that. It sucks because we know that originally they filmed enough to fit a full season, but I guess people weren't feeling it enough. Ugh. Hope the reunion is good. I'm sure they'll squeeze 3 parts out of that at least.

I can't believe next week is the New Jersey finale! Dina is tweeting that the last few episodes were pasted together and rushed and that is obvious. The ridiculous Jacqueline return was obviously thrown in and you can tell so much story and filming has been lost. I can't imagine how the finale will look. It's a shame they did that because it seems to be getting good now that the twins are integrated and there is conflict.

And where she says Stuart hasn't done anything wrong, the men were also window dressing from what I've seen of those days. The women absolutely carried the show while the men were basically props to help further their stories.

I think having bold personalities like Jill and Bethenny around will completely frazzle Heather and Carole because they won't be impressed by them and it'll be up to their personalities to win those girls over. But the pay doesn't shock me honestly. These shows, even lower rated New York still are Bravo's highest rated shows and they likely make a ton off the housewives franchise. They need to do something major to revive New York or it WILL die.

Looove Lisa digging into YoYo's ass! In exciting news it's looking real! Bravo offers Bethenny Frankel over $1 Million to return: http://pagesix.com/2014/10/06/bravo-offers-bethenny-frankel-1m-to-return-to-housewives/?_ga=1.240751428.619112445.1410637029 If they get Bethenny and Jill back that show is set.

I loved when she wore that Grinch dress at the reunion. Teresa is very lovable. I understand she did wrong, but has been *so* entertaining. Does anybody remember when they were on vacation and Chris and Albie said how she and Joe were probably off talking in a 3rd grade language and they were? I LIVE for stuff like that. The only regret I have with Teresa is that she was so boring on Celebrity Apprentice.

^ We've already been discussing this. They also filmed with the B&B cast and Brad Bell while there. The reason they're in Amsterdam is due to a European tour they're taking that started with Yolanda's hometown.
