Still here dreaming of one day seeing this show LOL! I wish I could find somebody with those 5 known episodes that was willing to sell them to me.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
With RHOBH, I like the idea of an old school reunion season, but I need news of at least ONE cast member returning or Joyce or Carlton coming back after all. In other news: http://s2smagazine.com/2014/07/02/nene-leakes-leaving-rhoa-after-salary-cut/ It's looking more and more like Tamara Tattles was right about Nene. She has stood by her story from the beginning and now people are finally reporting what she has reported all along--Nene was offered a "Friend" contract, but STILL making a ton of money. Nene is a fool if she turns down 500,000 to be on the show part time, filming with who SHE wants to film with and having the ability to do other things on the side. I thought that's wh at she wanted?

That is true! Brandi did grab the attention in her BEST season, when she was a friend, but I feel like Shannon *is* RHOC this year. Shannon's introduction and story is the main arc, the feud with Heather is second to that and the other ladies are struggling to keep up. They are really lucky to have her because the initial plan to make Heather the villain against Tamra and Vicki was never gonna work.

Shannon needs a raise. Besides Kenya, I don't recall a newbie getting as much screentime and focus as her. She basically had Vicki supporting HER on what was Vicki's vacation lol.

Wow! The most shocking thing about that Jody news is how much she got paid. I wonder how much was for each season. It's amazing to think of how much they were paying those girls. It must've done well for Slice. I wish they could've thrown more money at Christina. She would've kept it on air. RHOA - None of the wives are obligated to go see Nene in Vegas. Let's be real, she can't stand Porsha OR Phaedra, they are simply a last resort scenario for her. Phaedra probably can't travel with Apollo getting setenced in a week. To Bravo, I'm sure getting as much Apollo/Phaedra film as possible is more important than her faking a friendship with Nene. Then Porsha aint got no money to go anywhere. I predict Nene will simply film her scenes in Vegas, then they'll splice her into the rest of the season once she returns to Atlanta. I must say though, after seeing how low budget the show is, it's SHOCKING she turned down a good paycheck for that Vivica A. Fox show with a gaurenteed 100 episode run. RHOBH - I could totally be down with the season 3 cast reunited, but I still wish Carlton and Joyce had been kept as friends. I wonder what the end layout will be. Out of Taylor, Adrienne and Camille, AT LEAST one will probably end up as a wife. At the very least Joyce should've remained.

If they keep bringing people back they BETTER bring someone for NYC like Jill or Alex.

Oh duh! I see it now! Well that makes sense perfect sense. Why pay someone over a million dollars to barely participate in the reunions and refuse to film with basically your entire cast!? She is crazy to expect that.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Is there a story that says that? I think it's too early in the season to know that. Right now she has her Vegas show, but since she isn't friends with any of the girls, I could see none of them wanting to travel over there to film with her. It's a mistake on her part because her other options for scene partners (Mynique, her non-Marlo BRIDEmaids, Greg, etc.) aren't very interesting. Another thing to keep in mind is that Tamara Tattles STILL stands by her production source that says Nene and Porsha aren't Housewives next season. She maintains that despite reports saying "all 7 are returning," Nene and Porsha aren't returning as full housewives. I could see this.

I think Heather's looks are fine, but her STYLE is terrible, like many designers. Carole's face is rough, but her personality and how she carries herself ties everything together. I have no problem believing she gets all the guys. Now Aviva despite good style looks AT LEAST 15 years older than she is. Her hair color is harsh and just her face looks so old. Why is she aging so bad? Is it karma for her attitude?

The View
I like the Ann Curry choice. She needs a relaxed format, not a serious new format.

Yall are bringing it with these suggestions! I like: Whoopi, Star, Bethenny, Kathy Griffin, Ana Quincoces from RHOM. I know Ana probably wouldn't have a chance, but I thought she did good in her stints guest hosting. She asked good questions and as a lawyer AND a chef she has multiple ways to be useful.

Sherri aint leaving on her own lol.

THANK YOU JESUS!! They need to bring Star back, add a Real Housewife and go from there! My current panel: Whoopi, Star Jones, Alex McCord or Carole Radziwill (she'd work better here than on Housewives), Megan McCain

That article is BS. They posted something else yesterday about George and Dana getting a spin-off and Andy linked the article and said it was false. I'm sure both stories came from the same source (obviously someone close to Aviva) and aren't true. Radar last year posted details of the Beverly Hills reunion BEFORE the season had aired. Their housewives stories are only good for fun reads.

Jill would bring money and ego. They need Jill. Honestly, they should've never done this drastic reboot considering how good the ratings were in season 4. And it baffles me how they keep things status quo on Beverly Hills (and for many years on New Jersey), yet the first time things get heated on NYC they fire everyone.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I would maybe consider keeping her as a Friend and ONLY as a Friend. I just feel like whatever they do with NYC won't work. This season had Aviva participated fully then I feel we would've had a much better season. It started off gangbusters, but it lost serious momentum after a while. I also think Kristen has done her job, but she needs to go. They need to be bold with their choices for next season. My current thinking is... Keep: Carole, Heather, LuAnn, Ramona Friend of the Housewives: Aviva, Bethenny - This might sound far-fetched, but if Bravo ties it in with a deal for her own show she'll do it. New Wives: Jill Zarin (especially if Dina's return works for RHONJ, do this!), Jo from RHOC, Jennifer Williams from Basketball Wives. Basically, there are so many women out there and they need to be more bold with their choices. In New York they have the choice of former housewives, people from other shows and non-white women in general. If they broaden their horizons it'll open them up to stronger casting choices and the potential for better ratings.

Melrose Place
Can you imagine if the writers got their way and the body in the pool was AMANDA? That reboot was never going to work because those writers had no idea about the show they were writing. Sydney could've been a useful character, but that body should've been either Lexi or it could've been Taylor. They could've SORASed her kid with Michael and not have to retcon something.

I think Shannon made it clear her problem wasn't with Heather, but Heather was so aggresive that it derailed the conversation. Shannon was trying to get conformation that Tamra was spreading the gossip so she could confront her. When Heather lied about that things went downhill. Still have to say this season is rocking mainly due to Shannon and Heather. Also love seeing Vicki without such a dark and sad storyline. She needs to stay in the sidelines for a while and be more of a talk to. They do need to find her next big rival though.

Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet! Here's the RHONJ Preview Special: http://vimeo.com/97190481 So glad I found this. I'm more excited to see the new season now. Dina's return is seamless, Melissa is more watchable like her first season and I like that the other ladies are being very judgmental of Teresa. It keeps things interesting. I was expecting everyone to kiss her ass.

It really makes no sense. LuAnn will probably end up being in 17 out of 20 episodes, with Aviva in 14-15 and she is the one likely to be on the couch for the entire reunion. That is not fair. I hope they at least have the good sense to keep LuAnn out for the entire time OR make Aviva sit out parts as well.

I need the OC to go on their trip soon. That looked so exciting, but i know that's towards the end. ETA: Even with the low ratings, Bravo stayed true to their word! This is the longest season of RHONY with 20 regular episodes. The 20th episode (and season finale) is called "The Last Leg." Reunion starts July 29th. Small spoiler re: Aviva

Marlo even at the Bailey Bowl or on I Dream of Nene is more comical when it comes to reading the other ladies. She hasn't done anything aggressive like Nene or Porsha have.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
LuAnn IS a housewife, period. We're seeing her private life as much as the others, which is not very much. Carole and Sonja don't have much going on in terms of family so I don't think making Marlo a housewife will drastically change things. As for Lizzie, I do agree that she's disappointing so far. I expected her to be big and over the top and the center of drama, but she's pretty tame. I could see her being a one-season unless she steps it up.

People always say Marlo is unstable, but despite her past she's one of few ATL wives who we haven't seen with further troubles with money or the law. I also don't think she portrayed herself as unstable on the show. Porsha, Kenya and Nene at points? Yes, but not Marlo. Her only big blowup was with Sheree in Africa and that was more comical than unstable. Marlo is perfect for this show because she can dress, her hair is on point, she can throw shade and read like no other. Plus she actually has a home she can film in and people to film with. She's an easy choice and a smart one.
