I highly doubt that Mama Joyce story considering it's from Media Take Out. Todd's Instagram post basically confirms it's false.

Despite the issues with quality, New Jersey is still doing well enough to rebound if the next season is good enough.

If they play their cards right they can keep Teresa as a housewife for next season, then she would be out in time to film next season and she wouldn't miss a thing.

I love Teresa and hate that this is happening, but they did the crime and they have to pay. It's such an unfortunate situation, but they will make it through it. The judge showed them so much compassion and I think the way it was handled will help them rebuild their life. First, the staggered sentence will make it easier on the kids, plus giving Teresa a lower-than-anticipated sentence are all good things. I believe they needed jail time in order to truly understand what they had done and make sure it won't happen again. Teresa has shown she's a hustler and I do believe when she gets out of jail she will work hard to pay her restitution and live a better life. Sometimes you have to go through things to learn and grow. I hope they learned their lesson. Now as for RHONJ, what does this mean for next season? Do yall expect Teresa to appear at all? If she's going in January then I could see them filming her until then, but if it's November (which honestly would be best so she'd get it over with) then she really won't be available to film at all. Even if it is January, will she WANT to film? Then again, for the sake of making money it seems she'd have to do it. At the very least I expect Joe to have a heavy presence next season.

Honestly, Star Jones is the one who should've been brought back. If it's true Whoopi wants to leave so bad I would've given Rosie the moderator role she wants so badly and have Star replace Whoopi. I like Whoopi and I love this panel, but if she truly wants to leave I think that would be a smart choice to replace her. I'd also bring on a 5th person, someone who is younger.

Oh my god!! It would be just flawless if they brought Ashley back briefly and used that to introduce Lisa Rinna to the show as an actual character. I've been wanting her on a Bell soap for soooo long. ETA: With the Guidice's, at the very least at least they won't be serving at the same time, which suggests to me that she WILL get time.

Watching the first episode now. It's interesting. I feel it's going to take time to memorize who these people are due to the white hospital coats, but I love the look and style and the acting is good. It's going to be so interesting to watch a traditional soap from this period since we only usually see Dark Shadows or Strange Paradise.

Wow! So happy Porsha lost her peach and I love how everyone said Demetria was the new HW and Claudia was not, but it's the other way around! I like Claudia Jordan so I'm happy with this. And that trailer?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? This [!@#$%^&*] is gonna be ON! That looks more balanced and so much better than last season! I'm glad the bloom is off the Phaedra rose and they seemed more balanced with Kenya. Claudia is the PERFECT new addition because she can hold her own. I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!

Keep the 4 rumored to stay on Miami, add Marlo and SHAUNIE'S MESSY ASS and you have a hit show. Shaunie didn't work on Basketball Wives because she was producer and people were scared of her. In that last season when Tami stopped caring and called her [!@#$%^&*]-stirring ass out she was interesting. Of course this is a fantasy and I understand it won't happy.

Obviously they got nervous with the new wives not being received well so they amped up the screentime for Rosie and Kathy and then brought back Jacqueline. I imagine for next season Kathy will FOR SURE be back as a full-time housewife.

Ruth Warrick was great on the show and also in the reunion film. I've never seen her on All My Children, but she was legendary on Peyton Place.

Initially I know Betty was supposed to be written off very soon after the series began, so my guess is Rod wasn't far behind. I'm re-watching the series too and although this is a BRILLIANT show, I do think it took a couple months to REALLY get cooking. I'd say once you're at around episode 15-20 thats when it really starts to click and then it's a nonstop ride from there on out. It never has a drop in quality and the final season was incredibly strong. I still can't believe it was the late 60s and they had a frontburner black family.

LOL DeeeDee, what is the other story? I never knew anything about his exit.

Ok! Back to my meeting with John Silva! Well he is still very good looking in person and a VERY nice guy! He was staying at the hotel for a wedding. He said that recently a woman came up to him at the airport and asked him why they didn't follow through with pairing John with Nina. He said he was stunned because that was a story they teased for 6 episodes. He couldn't believe that somebody would remember a specific story that only lasted 6 episodes. On the subject of why he isn't on the show anymore, he said he was married to Rhonda Friedman, who has been a producer on B&B forever and when they got divorced she didn't want him there so he was gone. He said thats why you never see him when they have those anniversaries and events where he would likely show up, it is intentional. I told him that the Bell's are basically shut out of Y&R now so now would be the perfect time for him to return. He seemed shocked when I got him up to speed on things. He'd heard of Maria Bell writing the show and stuff, but didn't realize where things were now.

Oh John Castellanos is fabulous! He just told me the reason he left the show and why he has never returned for all the events like the anniversaries or Katherine's funeral! Details to come!

RHONJ is choppy, but they're making the right transitions to have a good season 7. I hope Tamra isn't fired.

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.

[!@#$%^&*] 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.
