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.

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.

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.

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.

Ahh! Th anks for that. I wonder if Lucky #7 could mean season 7 AND 7 housewives, including Marlo?

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.
