Where yall reading all this RHOA news? I do like all that I'm hearing though. I also like that Marlo is present as filming from the very beginning, which is a good sign. They need to stop playing and make her a housewife.

Cheap don't make me steal your chair. I stand by my comments that Shannon is a great addition. I feel she is the key element that is keeping this season going, especially in the pre-Lizzie episodes. Even the people she doesn't have conflict with benefit in group scenes from her conflict with Heather and later Tamra. She's fab!

It looked like Heather was getting the villain edit, but she is too smart and too stealth to let that happen. I HATED her during her first year, but the past two she has made me a believer. Terry is also *so* adorable. I think the real villain this year is Tamra. It should've been a perfect year for her with her new marriage and CUT should've been her main story. Like Vanderpump Rules she should've cast interesting personalities as her staff and made most of her scenes set at CUT. There also should've been a party throw there and a group workout session for all the ladies. She is a fool for not utilizing it in the right way. Also, instead of complaining about Heather's motives for getting CUT on Good Day LA, she should've made sure every moment on screen was talking positively about CUT and make sure THAT was the focus. I wonder what Bravo thought of Danielle considering she is clearly supposed to be a housewife, but she doesn't talk! They introduce her and Lizzie at a party thrown at HER house and since then she's always there, yet she never says much. I know her and Tamra have a blow up towards the end, but I find that hard to believe since she doesn't speak lol. Before the season premiered Tamra wouldn't stop going on and on about how Danielle was such a famewhore and would do anything, including sell out her family for fame. I don't see that from the girl that we're seeing right now. RHOC is a masterclass in how to reinvent one of these shows. Beyond Danielle, everyone is hitting their marks and they have a good variety of wealth. I don't feel like anybody is standing out in a bad way. I also think Shannon is one of the most real and best housewives in the past 2 or 3 years. For RHOC she is one of the all-time best new additions. I love how neurotic she is and the arc of her marital problems is heartbreaking, but it feels hopeful. I feel like she wants to fix it and I hope she can.

In the end LuAnn will appear in more episodes than Aviva, plus Aviva also held out and wasn't there when filming first began. That was very obvious in the very beginning. You could tell the ladies were hoping they wouldn't have to deal with her except in the past tense. I too think the only reason LuAnn was demoted was because of the Jacques thing, but it was stupid. She's a major presence and an original cast member. They needed her.

See Porsha only fight Kenya because she was dumb and needed something to secure her spot for next season. Now that she has it, what is she going to do to make herself relevant? We all know she's boring and no matter what they say, Phaedra and Nene don't really care for Porsha. If Porsha tries to make Kenya her story I feel that will be a problem. Either she'll end up fighting Kenya again or Kenya is going to give her dust. That is not a good situation for Porsha.

Porsha's sorry ass is for sure coming back. She's posting about it on her Facebook page.

For NYC I'd do: Ramona, LuAnn, Jill Zarin, Carole, Alex, Heather plus two strong new Friends of the Housewives.

I don't think their reunion performance has anything to do with them being brought back. Based on the way this season performed there will be changes, period. They just need to be bold, smart changes.

I wonder if there is still a chance one of these ladies will be a Friend of the Housewives. Technically they would still have a contract. If it's the exact same cast again I will be bored. The dynamic is too set.

That is soooooooooo crazy. You really have to be careful who you associate with. I can't say I'm surprised to learn she was in the car with someone shady.

I think Hulu has this show for free.

Tami has done a lot of acting actually. A short-lived, but well liked CBS show called Moonlight she had a recurring role on. A year or so ago she had her own sitcom on TV One and beyond that she's done a lot of guest spots. She also was a co-host of a game show called Card Sharks. She's a good actress, I'm just surprised to see her doing it again after the ratchetness of Basketball Wives. ESPECIALLY on a show with Halle Berry. Can you imagine how it was when they met? lol

Meeka and Kesha were the best additions to this show. They should've kept Meeka and then kept Kesha too. The biggest problem with this show is that there was no accountability and the "bad" cast members were allowed to run wild. You need a better balance in order for this to work. This is why the final season didn't work, because you only had the villains left and everybody else had been run off. I think it's a lack of education or something because Meeka honestly had done nothing to deserve all the stuff she got. All of this "he said, she said" was so childish. Same with Kesha. They should've been defended not made out to be the bad guys. In happier news, Tami has a recurring role on Halle Berry's new show. I like her as an actress so I wish her luck.

Yes and it's also dependent on people filming with you. My guess is with Nene it's just that they don't want to give her a huge raise on top of her already large salary and the difficulty that comes with having her. I'm sure they're spinning this in a positive way to her where she could pop in and out and not have to deal directly with the drama.

Tamara Tattles has always said that Nene and Porsha were offered contracts, but only as Friends of the Housewives.

They need to bring Miss Kari back next season. I miss her snootiness and harmless arguing with the girls. This season got too dark at times with the Quad/Mariah feuding. I would've much preferred to see Kari and Mariah fighting over the crown in a cute, but ultimately harmless way. Mariah is unwatchable this season. I will say that Heavenly's tired ass has won me over. She is FABULOUS!! Lisa Nicole has an annoying voice though and drives me crazy. Can't stand her.

Bravo messed up again. After her fabulous cameo at Pandora's Wedding, they should've brought La Toya Jackson's fierce ass on. Now La Toya is getting married and is looking into adoption. If there is any way to get her off of OWN and onto this show Bravo should do it. La Toya would be HILARIOUS on this show! Honestly, she's the type of person they need. True Beverly Hills and the potential celeb cameos would be stunning.

That New Jersey opening looks great. I think they may have knocked it out of the ballpark with this new season. Their preview special got 1.6 million viewers, which is very good considering it wasn't promoted.

I agree that New York was boring, for the first time this season IMO. I can forgive them since they hit so hard for most of the season. Hopefully it picks up soon.

I do think that whatever happens, we're in for surprises with the next seasons of Beverly Hills and Atlanta. I feel they both have at least one big shock after their last seasons.

This show is different in that someone like Lisa really doesn't need to do this show unless she wants to. It's not about a paycheck, it's about the experience and promoting her businesses. She already has a spin-off, so why would she want to do a show with a bunch of women who hate her? Now if she does go they have a huge problem on their hands and will need a massive reboot. Even bigger than New York. They need to find some true heavy hitters to replace her.

How is Kenya any more fake than Phaedra or Nene? They all present the type of persona they want to present and as a trio I feel leave a lot behind closed doors. In terms of this franchise I'd say Kandi and Cynthia are the only ones giving true 100% representations of their lives, good and bad. I would say Porsha has revealed a lot, but usually not by choice. With her we've had maybe six versions of the "real" Porsha. But Phaedra is 100% a comical character that does not exist as presented on RHOA. Nene and Kenya are more real than that, but both are very guarded in their personal life IMO.

I think Kenya isn't as rich as some of the others, but as you said, she is up to date on her taxes and hasn't been foreclosed on, or legally evicted. I think she's steadily worked since her Miss USA days and has saved her money and done well for herself. She's lived within her means basically. She owns a nice house in LA and is renting on ATL. I think she's handling her finances right.

LOLOLOL I LOVE PETER! And it's true! People who say Cynthia is boring are haters IMO. She ALWAYS has had a storyline independent of Nene. Peter is a great supporting character to have and Malorie is icing on the cake.

LOL Yes that was a typo, but Kim would still be around. BH lacked Friends of the Housewives last year and Kim would fill that role. She simply doesn't have the story or friends to be a full wife. You CANNOT do another season of her with her dog.
