I've been reading a lot from people who like Amber so far, but I'm going to be the first to say I hate her lol. I agree her family seems interesting and watchable, but there is something about her that I feel is going to drive me crazy. She seems a bit old school Melissa aka famewhorish. Not only that, but she didn't bring her receipts re: Melissa's Facebook post so I just know she's a basic ass bitch. I feel like she's going to be at the center of drama, but because she WANTS to be at the center of drama. But you need one like that so it's all good. I DID NOT miss Caroline one bit, same goes for Kathy. I'm not looking forward to seeing Kathy and Rosie next week. The show has moved on perfectly without them!

Oh I LOVED this opening! They needed to revamp this show and I'm glad it finally happened. Looks like a completely successful reboot, quality-wise. It was well-produced and had a balance of laughs and heartfelt moments. The mix of women is interesting and I think they did welll casting all 3 new ladies. Dina's return is seamless. She really should've never left. I hope the opening returns next week and I imagine it will since they filmed new shots for the ladies.

The title of the next RHOC episode is Point "Break" so I'm guessing they WILL leave Shannon breaking the fourth wall in there. I cannot wait. It's been a slow, but very satisfying season. It almost feels like a first season the way we have to get introduced to two new wives and the old cast members have to figure out where they fit as well. I much prefer this to the usual where the newbies kiss the old cast members asses until they piss them off.

LuAnn was an option and NOT Kristin! The shade!!

I think the difference with Ramona and LuAnn is that while Ramona is oblivious or is keeping stuff from the cameras, you can see right through it. Mario is giving them so much embarassing footage which they can use and then exploit during the reunion. My guess is that LuAnn simply played dumb the entire season and allowed them to film all this happy stuff with Jacques when she knew there were problems. Either way, I don't think LuAnn should've been downgraded. She had enough to offer without him.

He is so lucky! How is a repeat offender only getting 8 years?! That is insane to me.

If a former co-host returns I really feel it should be Star. She could bring BRAINS back to the show. I feel when she left it was the beginning of the end. She did become annoying at the end, but I think she has learned from that. With Barbara gone you need at least one person who can actually moderate and be fair. I don't think Rosie or Whoopi can do that. I would have Star as moderator, Whoopi and Rosie should be Joy's replacement.

I actually liked what we got for Nancy Barrett and I wish they show had stuck with her. I don't think she looked too old for the role. Certain recasts they get antsy too fast and they end up losing good actors. Not a recast but Sarah Felder was let go for short-sighted reasons, Mary Carney was as good a Mary recast as they could've hoped for and while Catherine Hicks was good, having a proven soap vet in the role would've provided more stability IMO. Of course there is always the chance she would've left, but I doubt it. We all know the endless recasts didn't do anything for this show.

OMG I LOVED the reunion previews!! I'm like 5 episodes behind, but I WILL be caught up in time to see that. I'm also curious what happens between Toya and Simone! I also love all the 4th wall breaking!! First you have them all calling Mariah out on her vanity title of Executive Producer, then you have ANDY asking if Mariah is taking responsibility for firing Kari lol. This is going to be so juicy!!

I disagree that this show needs a major reboot. I think it was a huge mistake dumping Kari, but they could easily fix the show. I'd do Heavenly, Simone, Jackie, Kari as MUST HAVE'S! I feel Mariah and Quad have to stay for their big personalities and bring one newbie in.

Porsha is THE WORST! Now what is this Sheree shade I heard about?

Oh god! Yall are making it where I can never like Kristin again lol! Any comparison to that wench and she is now dead to me.

I'm not sure I believe Danielle's personal life is that interesting. She just seems too boring. Even as a friend I feel they would've aired SOME of her personal life if it was truly entertaining and would bring something to the episode. There isn't a rule that as a Friend they absolutely won't feature your family and personal life.

I'm not too sure how well Beverly Hills will be if they just go back to the original cast. I'm sure it's going to feel like the same ole same ole. This is why I feel Joyce and Carlton should've stayed. I think they did well enough their first year and now that they know what to bring they could've been useful this year. I feel like now Lisa is going to be forced into friendships that are fake and in th eend will get a pile up again. Adrienne, Taylor, brandi, etc are all more loyal to Kyle.

^ They have all the US Housewives series except DC on Hulu Plus.

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.

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.

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?

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