They still kept the families, which is a nice touch and I LOVE the big "OC" letters and the fact that the housewives get a solo shot before the family pops up. I think this reboot is going to be perfect. RHOC just knows how to do this shyt. They are pefect. New York has gotten their shyt together, but nobody can be as perfect as RHOC. I can't wait to see Vicki throw up this season. <3 <3 I wonder how this New Jersey reboot is going to go. That show is so damn tired that I feel it could go either way.

This is true and it's reality, but haters are gonna hate.

Mr. Vixen, winning a pageant does not get you a career like Kenya's, that takes hard work. Look how many forgotten Miss USA and Miss America's there are. I'm sure she got a few deals based on that, but that's it.

Nobody is saying she's the black Meryl Streep, but to act like she hasn't worked is just not true. She did all of that based on her own merit, without a reality show to back her up. Considering how hard it is for black actresses I'd say Kenya has an acting career to be proud of. Nene was given two roles by one may because of her personality on a reality show. There is a difference.

Kenya has tons of credits and there are movies that she's produced with notable black actors. A quick glance at IMDB will show you that. When you said veteran, seasoned actress with no credits I thought you meant Nene.

Phaedra is throwing shade when talking about Kenya's dog dying, that is heartless. Last season I do agree that both Kenya AND Phaedra hit below the belt, but Kenya was under attack. We now know that Apollo was LYING about Kenya trying to get in his pants, in fact those late night texts suggest to me that Apollo was trying to get in HER pants. I think Kenya had every right to hit back at them. People took Phaedra's side because she's more "respectable," but now we see Apollo's fraud charges and you'd have to be a fool to believe Phaedra wasn't involved in that. She put up a good front, but we know she's dirty. At least Kenya is up front about who she is.

I can't believe yall don't rate the classic first two seasons higher. I'd say: 2, 3, 6, 1, 4, 5

I'm at the point where Cindy gave birth and it is so difficult making it through. There is not one light moment on this show.

Kenya and that freaking megaphone is the reality moment of the year. The preview on BravoTV.com where she told Phaedra to "shut the &#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] up" also slayed my ass. Kenya is bringing it and looks gorgeous.

That is Nene's worst wig thus far. Porsha is clearly trying to keep her peach and this ALSO shows how stupid Porsha is. She can't defend herself against Kenya on an intellectual level since she's so dumb, so she jumps to fight.

Everybody wants to create LIES about how nobody has wanted to film with Kenya, but that doesn't reflect in what we see on screen. Kandi and Cynthia haven't had any problems filming with Kenya and NENE herself had no problems filming with Kenya prior to Pillow Talk. On the other hand, the way Nene has destroyed her relationship with EVERYONE, I find it hard to see who would want to film with her. Strangely enough it seems only Porsha and Phaedra would want to.

Good recap DaytimeFan! I agree with everything you said. I really hope next season they don't get rid of Chyka for a lack of drama. I think she's interesting in her own right and I like someone rational on the show. She also shows us a true businesswoman and she is very wealthy. I love watching Chyka. She is delightful.

Nene is just as much of a hater as Sheree, so she can go somewhere with that mess. In fact, in the early years she is much worse than Sheree. It's crazy watching season 2 and seeing how nasty Nene is towards Kandi and it is *so* obvious it's just because Kandi is rich and not afraid of Nene. Jealousy is why she fell out with Kim, Kenya and why she hated Kandi for years. She did have legit reasons to dislike Sheree, but more often than not she's just a hating ass bitch.

Yes! They need to take a page from Orange County and bring back one of the old housewives. Since Don't Be Tardy is back, I'll accept Kim not coming back full-time, but let her be a "Friend" so Nene will have someone to film with. Let Marlo and Sheree be the new wives and dump Porsha and Phaedra and you have a killer show IMO.

Marlo has never shown herself to be violent on the show. Nene has and I don't see anybody calling for her peach. The difference between Marlo and Brandi is that Marlo will read the fcuk out of you with the truth whereas Brandi will make stuff up and get egg on her face. EVERYTHING Marlo said during the season 4 reunion came true and it was a crime not to have her in season 5 to call them (especially Kim) out. She also was spot on in her criticisms of Nene when they had their blow up this season, especially about the wigs.

Brandi wishes she could be like Marlo. Brandi is a drunken fool who can't come up with a better come back than "Shut the &#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] up?!" Or "Are you kidding me?!" She is also an idiot. Marlo on the other hand, can read and write for days and also brings it with the fashion and comedy. She is nothing like Brandi.

I also feel like Marlo should be on Fashion Queens.

That used to be a length of a housewives series! I thought that it showed how Marlo worked day-to-day and she worked well IMO. Nene and Marlo as a team are why I Dream of Nene worked. Had Marlo not been there I don't think she would've had a full spin-off, but a special like Tamra and probably Kandi. ETA: I'm watching S2 and Nene is SUCH a hater with Kandi lol. It is so cute to watch. She CANNOT STAND Kandi from the moment she met her. All that money is making Nene sick. Kandi is so refreshing back in the day. It's shocking that her first season and current season are so similar with the Mama Joyce stories. I just watched where Nene introduced Kandi to Kim. Memories! <3 <3 <3 I loved Kandi and Kim together.

Marlo did not burn me out on I Dream of Nene and she outshined Nene on that show. I think if she were an actual wife we'd get to see a more balanced portrayal of her. Plus, she has friends in Atlanta and a nice house to film at, which puts her above someone like Kenya who is struggling to have people to film with.

EXACTLY! And let's not forget, Kenya didn't do anything to Nene. She was riding Nene's dick both last season and this season pre-Pillow Talk. I believe the rumors of a producer saying "the star is late" in regards to Kenya, is what set Nene off that night. I also think that Nene booking jobs outside the show is making her happy again. If only Nene would make up with Marlo then a trinity of Kenya, Nene and Marlo would be epic. Marlo was the perfect sidekick to Nene on I Dream of Nene. She needs a Bravo show, period.

Wow! Nene's honesty in that interview is giving me everything I need. Go Nene! I feel like Nene is slowly getting back to where she needs to be. Of course she's booking more jobs and therefore is happy, which is probably why.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO OF NENE INTERVIEWING ANDY!! This was really cute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSuzcqnggHg

We were wrong! Looks like Shannon will appear in the season premiere for Orange County. Just looking at the clip on Bravo's website (http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county/season-9/videos/no-cell-phones-for-shannons-kids), I think we're going to have a different feel without Gretchen and Alexis. I look forward to something fresh for the series!

I'm okay with that. I recall they had trouble with casting and with filming set, I'm glad they didn't scrap the Hawaii shoot. I'm sure the three will be interesting enough, especially with a trip to Hawaii. I'd rather that than editing the two other ladies in awkwardly like they did Alexis last season.

Yolanda and Carole are friends and Kristen and Brandi are old friends.
