The crazy thing is that it would be EASY to get Lisa back without a pile-up, but it seems like they aren't trying in that regard. I think it's because Andy is so messy and he LOVES seeing Lisa in the hot seat. Look at how biased he was against her at the reunion. How hard is it? Lisa, Carlton, Joyce, Brandi, Kyle and Kim. Yolanda can go as she didn't have big storyline and with Joanna and Joyce, Lisa wouldn't be Brandi's main target. For the 7th housewife either bring back Camille or an entirely new wife. IF a new wife it needs to be someone different ala a black housewife. Think outside the box for a change.

I feel like if the rumors of Carlton and Joyce being fired are true, then there's less chance of Lisa returning. I know they weren't huge successes, but for the simple fact that they're the only ones who are friends with Lisa, they should 100% be brought back. Why would Lisa want to return with the deck stacked against her once again?

Oh I disagree. RHOC is excellent this season and giving me everything I need. I like the feud with Heather and Shannon because they aren't fighting over anything major. After the darkness of some of the other shows I need a little chair-gate. I feel they have a group of women that are interesting together and I'm enjoying watching them get to know each other and develop their relationships. Only negative thing about this episode was the lack of Danielle's husband at the party. I wanted to see what his outfit would be. One thing I do love is that the producers keep showing flashbacks to Heather lying. I don't think the "script" called for her to be the villain. RHOC has never needed a main villain, but she is making it easy for them by giving them so much material. The way she keeps lying on Shannon is pretty crazy and it sucks for Shannon because someone is bound to believe her. They didn't even dispute Heather's version of events about chair-gate even though they were all there and could see Heather was lying.

Honestly, if they're going to drop RHOM and Joanna is so thirsty I do agree they need to just take her on. She already has a house in LA and we know she'd bring the drama. Plus I imagine lots of nice cameos from the Miami housewives. If they're struggling she'd hardly be settling. My cast would be: Brandi, Kyle, Camille, Joanna, Lisa, Joyce, Carlton with Yolanda and Kim as Friends of the Housewives. I think that is a cast that would bring drama and ratings. I also would keep Joyce and Carlton because I feel now that they know the ladies they would be in a better position to deliver. Both have wealth and showed potential in the confrontations.

That's clearly the same person with different lighting, but of course everybody is going to continue to say he's fake or hired. Over that BS. I don't even believe Walter was a fake boyfriend. Kenya said that Kandi knows he was a real boyfriend and Kandi could've disputed that, but she seemed to be agreeing with Kenya. In other news... Has anybody else been wondering about Beverly Hills? Typically we get a November premiere for BH and ATL. I understand ATL just wrapped, but BH is usually filming by now. To make matters more interesting, Vanderpump Rules (which has higher ratings now) is already filming whereas before they liked to sync the shows together. Lisa is saying she's been offered a contract to return next season, but filming has been delayed as they figure out what to do with the rest of the cast. What do yall think is going on with casting? My guess is that Carlton and Joyce are on standby and that everybody else will be invited back. The delay has to from a lack of interest from newcomers to join the show. That seemed kinda obvious when they went with Carlton and Joyce last season.

RHONY continues to give me life. Ramona is such a fabulous, kooky goddess. She was perfect here! I did feel bad in the scene with Mario. The energy seemed off. He seemed detached, but guilty. She seemed sad underneath, but still tried to make the scene work. I believe at this point both know what is going on but are making the effort not to show this on screen. It's a sad situation knowing how long they were married and that she truly did seem devoted to him. I didn't really care either way about any of the Kristen stuff. I can take or leave her at this point. Carole was looking a mess in the first few episodes, but she's starting to look good again, or I'm getting used to her face again. I do think she's back to looking terrible though with her blonde hair and weird hairstyle. I hope she fixes it by the reunion. LOVED her date outfit. ETA: I posted too fast! I didn't expect the last five minutes to be so explosive! First of all, Kristen IS really pretty, she looked stunning at the meeting with Ramona, but what a dumb bitch. When Ramona apologized she needed to go off script and accept that apology and at least try to move on at that moment. She lost all goodwill she had with me when she started going off on Ramona. It would be one thing if Ramona wasn't remorsful, but she bent over backwards to apologize. I hope Kristen didn't give her diarrhea, I know that sometimes happens when she gets Ramotional.

I like that lineup! But I would sub out Kristen for Alex McCord from RHONY, which I know would never happen.

The panel is just tired and has little chemistry. I agree they need an overhaul in order to survive, look what it did for The Talk. I would start by bringing Star back, firing Sherri and Jenny and adding a big name news anchor like an Ann Curry, Jane Pauley or Connie Chung for Barbara's seat. Then bring in someone young again and an actress. I'd say something like Star, Whoopi, Lisa Rinna, Connie Chung & Insert-Young-One Here could work.

I was okay with Trinity leaving because Trinity left like a boss. Trinity overcame his issues and had such a comeback story! I do feel he beat Adore in that lipsynch (and that outfit/makeup was flawless), but I'm glad he left happy and with his head held high.

I LOVE Courtney, she's been my winner from day one, but I know she won't get it. She suffers from not having a sad backstory. She seems really happy and polished and has basically just done well the entire time. Adore is one that I really see potential in, but I wish they'd eliminated her early and brought her back next season so she could rightly collect her crown. It seems so obvious they pulled so many strings to keep her around. Her wigs and outfits have just been dreadful far too much to justify her staying as long as she has.

Cheap, the woman Mario cheated with had the abortion during filming. That's when the story first broke. I think what broke after filming was that they separated.

None of the reports said Nene was fired, they said she was being offered less money and the option of being a Friend. I still think that is true. Nene hasn't had a storyline in ages and her paycheck is HUGE. Throw in everything else and obviously they're going to want to give her a pay cut.

I think New Jersey will be watchable, but unlike other series it fails because it only wants to showcase that Italian lifestyle side of New Jersey and I think that limits the show too much. Look at the variety of wives on OC for example. NJ narrows the pool for potential housewives too much and as a result you get what we got in that season preview. New Jersey is a diverse state and if they opened it up I'm sure they could get some epic new housewives in the mix.

BUT IT WORKED! People ate that shyt up on social media and in this thread! It really makes me question how stupid my people are getting that they're out here championing this idiot. The whole thing is NUTS. First Phaedra insults her more than anybody this season yet this isn't even mentioned. Hell, her biggest fight was with Nene, her second closest champion. How did this trick go from even Nene saying she was probably getting fired to being offered ANY kind of contract for next season? It's ridiculous.

The situations are different. I don't think her problems last season merited the type of reaction she has given this year. Amanda threatened to deck her, which is why she got in that girls face. And she didn't curse Sonja out because we all know that Sonja is delusional and probably mildly retarded. I thought she was very firm with Sonja's ungrateful ass and I don't think she backed down with Ramona either. It was just a different situation. I totally believe the Heather we see now is the real Heather having gotten to know these ladies.

I always loved them all, but re-watching it, it's crazy how one-sided it was with Nene attacking everyone, yet Kim is the one who got the bad press. If you look at their relationship breaking up in season one and two, it's Nene's fault both times by either being a bad friend or attacking Kim. Then when Kandi appeared Nene instantly disliked her and spent the entire season throwing shade at Kandi and she was downright insulting in each of their meetings, especially when Kandi decided to be friends with Kim. It was pure jealousy. This reminds me a lot of Kenya/Porsha where Porsha is clearly in the wrong yet people make excuses for her.

My guess is that her earlier denials were because she isn't in Atlanta and didn't know what they were offering. Now that she knows she is naturally pissed. Honestly, even if Nene didn't have as bad a season Bravo would've wanted to cut her pay simply due to how large it was getting due to her tenure. My guess is that if Nene had a GREAT season and was still a Bravo Team Player, they would've fired Cynthia and Phaedra to cover the costs of maintaining Nene's paycheck, but since she messed up they don't have to do that and will be able to afford everybody's salaries. Where Nene messed up is doing so many interviews talking about how crappy the pay is at Bravo and then writing so many negative blogs blaming production. In the end I think Nene WILL appear, either as a full-housewife still making good (but less) money or as a Friend and if she goes that route she'll pull a LuAnn and say it was her choice so she could focus on other projects and less of these "hating women."

I don't know how I feel about those NEW Jersey wives, but I'll be tuning in to give them a chance. At least I have Teresa and Dina. I am a little surprised they allowed the new housewife to be called Teresa and didn't call her "Terry" or something like that. I wonder if anyone will the the gossip mixed up between the two Teresa's.

I liked that the preview shows so much new footage considering there is still so much left from the OTHER trailer that we haven't seen. It's going to be a jam packed season for OC.

Ryan is one of the worst looking men on any of these shows, but I do think OC has some good looking men. I'd say right now that all the husbands sans Brooks are good looking. Even Danielle's gay husband is cute.

I loved that scene of Peter and Kenya kiki-ing on Secrets Revealed. I love Kenya when she's being lighthearted and throwing shade. They had good chemistry in that scene. Peter deserves his peach.

What I hate more than anything is how Porsha repeatedly implied that Kordell was gay and she was given a pass by EVERYONE on that. When Kenya rightly accused her of doing just what she did, they tried to act like she was lying or like she came up with it. It's BS. I don't understand why Andy didn't call Porsha out on that because by implying it, it was like she was implying it in a negative way as well.

I too don't think Andy was uninterested, but caught off guard with how well Kenya defended herself. Especially when she called HIM out. You could tell that completely shocked him, but you couldn't really deny or dispute anything she was saying. He definitely seemed to go into it with questions that favored the current social media sentiment, but logic couldn't sustain that. If you try to justify Porsha's reaction based on being "bullied" or "provoked" then every woman on this show was bullied and provoked. It wasn't even a serious or heated conversation before Porsha went off. The reactions honestly just make the anti-Kenya people look dumb and irrational.

Lies. She owns her house in LA, to my knowledge we don't know that she's been evicted (it was proven the ATL eviction was malicious and that she was in good standing) or had any cars repoed and overall I'd say she's been shown to live within her means. We don't see her with endless Louboutin's or calling off labels. I know people don't want to give her credit, but to get to the point where she was producing films she had to be making good money as an actress. I'm not saying she's rich, but she's worked steadily and it looks like she's played her cards right, financially. I think she's done well on this show. I'm sure she's making more than we think, I'd predicted around 250,000-300,000 for her second season and MUCH more next year. She also has Celebrity Apprentice, international club bookings, a sitcom in the works for TVOne and the fitness video. I think she's doing well enough.

I fail to see what having a man has to do with a persons self worth. I find it sad that people feel you have to be in a relationship or you're lesser. When it happens it will happen. I'd rather be single than be in a toxic relationship, which many of these women have.
