I work at a resort and today I had the most unexpected check in ever--John Silva! How exciting! Here I am currently watching those David Kimble-trial episodes featuring him and now I get to check him in.

Is Bethenny returning to RHONY? http://allthingsrh.com/bethenny-frankel-talks-possibility-returning-rhony/

Just as I suspected, it sounds like they're working on a deal where she'll get her own show of some sort, but only if she re-introduces herself on RHONY and helps try to save that show. Of course I could be reading it wrong.

Thoughts?

I wonder if Yolanda's tired ass could end up demoted. I have a strong feeling that filming started with only Lisa Rinna as the new wife and they extended things after finding Eileen. It seems like they should be done filming by now, but they haven't even done the international trip yet.

Based on her interviews I'm even doubting she filmed with Teresa, but we'll see.

Jac's return IS fake lol. They filmed her scenes in July and are trying to make it seem as if it was filmed in the winter, hence the long sleeves. This is also why she won't ever interact with the new ladies, unless they also did pick ups with her.

Looks like the reunion will be filmed on Friday. I wonder how that will go considering it's a week before Teresa's sentencing. I imagine she could participate since it won't air until after she's sentenced, so whatever she says or does won't be held against her, but I don't expect her to say or do much.

I LOVE how hard you ride for the housewives you love. A bitch could go to the moon and you'd be like ' she can film from the space station'. LOL (PS, Simon and Alex so would)

[!@#$%^&*] and I would proclaim The Real Housewives of Space to be the realest of them all!

So sad. SiLex is moving to Australia! LINK: http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/the-dish/why-is-alex-mccord-is-moving-to-australia

Don't worry, I still won't give up on her returning to housewives! She can join a Australian edition!

Yes! And the Brenda that returned was NOTHING like the Brenda that appeared before. Hell, Deborah Adair only matured and perfected what SHE had established. It's painful watching those 83 scenes and seeing how one note she is. I do think she eventually settled in and became the "Welcome To My Home" legend we remember.

Reading these summaries just makes me wonder why Brenda Dickson felt Jill had changed so much since her exit. Is it because at this point Jill was scheming for love, or for Philip's protection, whereas in her second run Jill was out for herself?

The funny thing is, watching these old clips lately, it looks to me like Brenda is the only one who changed Jill. I have almost exact scenes with Brenda Dickson and Deborah Adair dealing with Dina's return to town and Deborah plays Jill as a vixen, but she has heart and compassion whereas when Brenda returns her Jill is just pure ice. I think it has to do with who was the better actor and how they read the material.

I never got that song...I tired to really like it when it came out but it was just a horrible song even though dont know how it went to number 1. You should have picked retro Janet.

OMG!! It is sublime. I really wanted to do If or Doesn't Really Matter, but I didn't have enough time to learn those dance routines.

I'm a fairly new drag queen (like 8 months) and I auditioned for an up and coming clubs slot as a Janet impersonator and I did That's The Way Love Goes. I had the performance routine down and the hair and I thought I was hitting it, but the crowd looked at me like I was crazy and then afterwards they asked me why I did such an obscure Janet song. I WANTED TO SCREAM!!! That is not only one of her biggest hits, but one of her best lol. Needless to say I was not the new Janet. It went to some 60 year old tired queen.

I'm so sick of waiting. I need announcements, photos and super trailers for RHOBH and RHOA immediately! As for Nene's hair, I don't think that is surprising at all. Obviously after how she got clowned last year we knew she was going to go back to basics for this year.

I'm continuing to watch my Lorie Brooks edits and it looks like the DVD I'm watching now has a highlight reel of the series best moments. It included a brief snippet of Bond Gideon as Jill, but she didn't say anything. It just shows Katherine trying to stab her.

The show was TERRIBLE with Jenny McCarthy. I felt like she couldn't be herself and that killed her. She wasn't funny, she wasn't sexy, she wasn't current. It just wasn't a good fit. Why cast Jenny McCarthy, but not let her be herself? I think they need to do a few months with the current panel, but I would definitely look into adding a fifth person, perhaps someone younger at a later stage.

I still don't think the show recovered from when Lucy Allen was fired and Paul Marquesess fired everybody and replaced them with such bland characters. I also feel that grim tone the show took has mostly been retained even with Kirkwood back. I hate that boring characters like Diane and Sinaed are now mainstays. When Kirkwood (and Lucy Allen) first wrote the show it has such great style and a balance of styles. You had your comedy, drama, big events and it all blended well. Now everything and everybody seems so miserable. I also feel like they struggle with young characters compared to the old days.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I have always felt Kandi deserves everything she gets from Mama Joyce because she has allowed that woman to run over her, spend her money and she has given her too much power over her life. I love when Nene imitates Kandi in relation to her man or her mama because it is SO true. I can't for another year of Mama Joyce clowning her ass.

Yall have no sense. Why would Mama Joyce want Kandi's old ass house, that Marlo had to take her shoes off in to keep from hitting the ceiling?! She earned her peach and allowed Kandi to marry Todd so she deserves a new house. I hope Todd got her a car as well.

I thought George was great, but I never liked his stories or love interests. I liked his friend (Callum was it?) who ended up getting murdered. I wish they were a couple.

I thought it was good, but they definitely need a fifth person to balance things out. Nobody was annoying, chemistry was good and they all seem smart which is important. I liked the maturity and Sherri Sheppard with her over the top sexuality (which never felt natural) and desire to make everything about herself. LOVED the new set and I LOVE LOVE LOVED the tribute to Joan Rivers. It made me so emotional because you are dealing with people who truly knew her and it wasn't overdone, it felt very natural and was a nice memorial to a woman who served The View well. That was a WONDERFUL touch. I also thought Whoopi looked AMAZING and was better than she has been in years. Not being surrounded by toxicity helped her.

Yes! You can definitely see them start to re-edit and change the timeline of things. I can't wait to see Jacqueline's return since all of her scenes were rumored to be shot in July. Just by looking at her talking heads you can tell her stuff was filmed separately and by a different crew.

Tom Ligon looked FOINE with that facial hair!

I never was able to get into AW whether it be these 80s episodes or any of the SOAPnet run, but I also never gave it much of a chance. I'm going to try now that I see these episodes getting uploaded to YouTube.

I thought Catherine Hickland was fine as Brooke, but Sandra Ferguson is just not a good actress. I didn't mind her when she was younger on Another World, but she was awful as Felicia on GH and now as Brooke, she is just terrible. Very cool to see that though!

She does look older and she has a kind of gothic look to her. A huge departure from how Brenda Dickson looked at that time.
