I could see Ramona getting on productions nerves, but no more than some of the others. The ones I predict drive production INSANE are Adriana and Joanna from RHOM, Jill Zarin and LuAnn from RHONY, Adrienne Maloof and Brandi from RHOBH and then Nene from ATL. I feel as if Nene is probably the only one driving them crazy on ATL. I also think that Mariah is probably driving those Married To Medicine producers to drink.

Jack, I wouldn't include Ramona in the list of people who let the show get to their head. Look at how she's been thriving with RHONY off the air. I don't think she needs the show or is as desperate to stay in the spotlight as her co-stars. She isn't milking her divorce for support, hasn't released any silly music singles or anything either. She's just focused on her businesses, which are real and not created for the show. I think she's a real businesswoman and a smart one at that. Going back to Bethenny, IF she wanted to do a talk show, her people should've tried to get her on The View. I'm sure she would've had a good chance since their choice (Jenny McCarthy) showed the candidate pool must've been small. That would've been a good way for her to segue herself into hosting. Beyond that, I still say a cooking show should be her focus or a travel show. Her next move will be interesting. I'm not willing to count Bethenny out at this point.

Yeah, if they're seriously considering Natalie or Mynique, they're nuts. I WOULD be considering Lexis, Marlo and Malorie though. Natalie and Mynique shock me with their clothes on this show. Christopher Williams looks like he's wearing clothes he bought on 2002 from Ross: Dress For Less. I can't believe they allow him on this show with those dingy ass clothes. Mynique and Chuck simply don't have style because we know they have money.

Nene is a fool. It's obvious that report about the Behind the Scenes TRUTH of the Pajama Party is true. Not only do we have that and Nene now threatening to quit, but you also have a report MONTHS ago by Funky Dineva which documents the fight between Nene and Marlo still to come. He was there (and will appear on screen) so obviously he is not lying. His post and others clearly stated that Nene kept attacking production and threatening them if Marlo and Kenya continued to appear on the show. If you look at the episodes there was NO on screen build up to Kenya becoming Nene's enemy. Nene is simply jealous and mad that she feels Kenya could threaten her title as Queen Bee. Ego is EVERYTHING to Nene. If I were her I would not even consider leaving until she has a VARIETY of roles under her belt. A talk show is a stupid idea doomed to fail. If she wants to focus on acting she needs to take acting classes and try to find some non-Ryan Murphy roles and focus on guest spots and independent film. Right now there is nothing that proves she is a successful actress. She has two roles given to her by a man who simply enjoyed her on RHOA. I don't think she is smart enough to transition out of the franchise. Of the current housewives, I think Kandi, Lisa Vanderpump, Ramona and Vicki would continue to thrive, but they are all strong business women who don't need the show in the same way that Nene does. She will get her wake up call very soon. I REALLY don't think the show needs her nearly as much as she thinks. They have too many players that work well enough to replace her. For the most part everybody has interesting supporting characters to film with, plus so many are good enough to be real housewives.

I feel like Phaedra's show will happen if it's filmed, otherwise I can't see her doing it. If she couldn't handle WWHL, then she can't handle promoting her own show and being the center of all that promo. By the time her show aired, the story could be bigger so I can't see her wanting that.

Yes, this is typical. Also, they always screen the full season before filming the reunion. Especially with seasons getting longer this needs to be expected. Andy also has a busier schedule now since he has his own production company, instead of being able to schedule everything around Bravo's needs. I wonder if he'll do a reunion for Blood, Sweat & Heels.

There are too many generic talk shows with no focus or purpose. Bethenny should've focused in on her brand and made her show a bigger combination of entertainment, but with a heavy focus on food and cooking. The Chew is doing well and it would've differentiated her from the pack. If she ever does another TV show it needs to be a 30 minute food show on one of the travel channels. People need to stop jumping just to talk shows if they want to do something else. Try scripted, a travel show, a cooking show, etc. There are so many different niches people can be successful in.

Beverly Hills (minus one) is going to Puerto Rico, which was in the supertrailer and Atlanta's trip to Savannah looks like it was their trip this year.

Weren't they saying ON THE EPISODE that Kenya was on Molly? I think Christopher Williams said it, but I recall Nene as well. Besides, MANY people have commented that Nene was acting odd. I think that production post about Nene is true. It's typical Nene. She is VERY jealous, especially when she feels her post as HBIC is challenged.

Okay, Aviva, Heather and Ramona have good taglines, the rest are stupid. Sonja's is ESPECIALLY dumb as it goes nowhere. They should revisit old taglines when they work and have Sonja go back to her original one. I will say it's pretty damn cheap of them not to redo the opening when the show has been off the air almost 2 years. I feel the same way with the huge rated New Jersey and Atlanta. These shows are doing well enough to have new credits. Kristen's shot looks pasted in and her dress is HORRENDOUS for an opening shot.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Andy said that since this season of New York was so much fun, he wanted funny taglines. I actually like that they're trying to stand out. I hope Heather's still includes a "Holla!" ETA: To answer the Housewives crossover question, Kim from ATL appeared on Season 1 of Miami.

I may be wrong with this, but I thought Kenya DID RSVP, but Nene was upset that she didn't go to the wedding? DId she not RSVP for sure? I could've sworn she sent a gift and everything.

I LOVE Nene and I LOVE all the drama she is causing, but the difference between now and then is that Nene feels she is the Queen Bee. I need that to end and I need her to be called out just like everybody else is. I'm sick of everybody acting like they're scared of her.

Those texts made it completely obvious Apollo was trying to get in Kenya's pants, especially if you look at what time he was sending those texts. If I were Phaedra I would back off on saying certain things because now too much is coming out about Apollo. Forget Kenya, we know he's probably been sleeping around with half of Atlanta, in addition to his legal issues. Phaedra needs to keep her mouth shut to minimize her dragging at the reunion.

Nah, I don't buy that. Star wasn't a villain like Omarosa, she was simply a shrewd business woman. She tried hard to make her team win and then when they didn't she used her lawyer skills to defend herself and keep from getting fired. If she was a man nobody would've said anything. Also, Star was Team Nene 100%, Nene was just mad because she didn't want to be Project Manager that week because she knew she'd lose. Realistically, Nene was the ONLY person on her team who hadn't won money for her charity, so logically she SHOULD'VE been Project Manager. There is no argument for her being thrown under the bus, it was simply common sense.

Honestly, I think this is a sad situation because I do think Nene and Marlo had a nice easy going relationship. I don't think Marlo was the opportunist that people made her out to be. IMO, if anyone deserves that title it's Cynthia who benefited from Nene's friendship so much more than Marlo did. Marlo could basically stand on her own two feet with her personality carrying her through. Cynthia was saved mostly because Nene needed an ally to film with. In the case of Kenya/Nene/Marlo, Nene introduced Marlo to Kenya so I can see how Marlo could be thrown when she's now told she isn't supposed to like or talk to Kenya. But I can also see how Nene would be upset that her friend was hanging out with her new enemy. I think Marlo is bound to come out better because I feel she is going to take the high road with Nene. To date, she hasn't said ANYTHING negative about Nene publicly. When Nene starting giving interviews bashing Marlo during I Dream of Nene, Marlo responded, but made sure to be supportive and respectful of Nene. When people tweet negative things about Nene, she tells them to stop. She sent Nene a huge flower arrangement when she was in the hospital, Nene even had to say "Thank You" for that.

If Kenya wanted to get in kissing distance of Natalie, who are these women to say anything? Especially to try and say she's responsible for a brawl of this magnitude. Not only that, but it's a "What If?" We don't know how close Kenya was going to get or what she was going to do. What I DO know is that Nene has NO PROBLEM getting right up in everybody's face and sometimes choking them out. She did it horribly on Celebrity Apprentice and to Kim SEVERAL times on this show. Cynthia did it to Kandi this week and the list goes on and on. They have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to tell Kenya she is wrong for getting up. Especially Nene's violent ass. And I know it was year ago, but STAR JONES NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HER BULLYING ASS! Yall got me all worked up here at work lol.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I won't lie, I do dislike Natalie and Christopher. They are too basic for this show, although I appreciate the purpose they have served thus far. If you re-read my post I DID NOT say that Christopher should hold back his wife. I said that he should've stood in front of her to protect her. I said that Peter shouldn't have help down Brandon and that Malorie shouldn't have shoved Todd and Kandi. Christopher had no reason to grab Kenya and pull her back and the flashback from a new angle showed that he had a strong grip on her. He could've simply gone near his wife to make sure nothing happened. Why can't Kenya get out of her seat, but Christopher could? I would personally be more worried about him walking up (or "charging" as they say) on Kenya since he was upset he was busted AND he has history of being accused of abusing women.

Well Marlo SHOULD'VE been in the past 3 episodes. She was invited to the Pajama Party, but didn't go. She is also invited to Kenya's Masquerade party next week and she doesn't go to that either. I am VERY upset with Marlo for skipping those events! The Pajama Party would've been a 3-week event if Marlo was there on top of everything else. I am still confident my lady will do what she needs to do in the coming episodes. It was very telling her preview clip was with Kenya and not Nene. It shows the beginnings of her developing friendship with Kenya and we KNOW that isn't going to sit well with Nene. I also feel like the rumors of Nene and Cynthia falling out are true since we see Nene and Peter going at it next week. ETA: Kenya doesn't seem too pleased with Andy on Twitter. Many people were confused because WWHL didn't show the results of the poll, "Who was to blame for the fight?" Many were tweeting saying they felt this was calculated because even during the After Show he didn't reveal the results. She tweeting him asking about it and he finally tweeted the results (57% Nene is to blame, 42% Kenya is to blame). She still was tweeting and re-tweeting that she felt they were trying to do a cover up for Nene. Honestly, I believe it. I haven't seen the episode yet, but apparently he also went soft on her for the gay comments.

Kandi was right when she said that when you're breaking up a fight you own your own people back, not the other side because that comes off as aggressive and escalates things. I don't understand why they don't acknowledge this in regards to Kenya. If Christopher wanted to protect his wife he should've stood in front of her and not grabbed Kenya. I'm glad the producers clearly showed the flashback of him grabbing her. Malorie needed her ass beat as well. I can't wait to see my baby Marlo next week. Nene is clearly acting a fool. I see that episode being the beginning of her downfall. It's coming.

Kyle and Carlton are BY FAR the best styled. Joyce's dress fits her personal style and will probably look great on camera. Brandi's choice I need to see in action before I decide, it could go either way. Kim's dress looks cute in the picture, but I'm not sure how it will translate on camera. Lisa looks a hot ass mess. It almost makes me cry looking at that ugly ass dress.

I feel like she should've gone on WWHL, but not answer serious questions about the case. Same with the reunion. By putting Kenya on WWHL, she's going to have a huge platform to tear Phaedra's ass up and bring up anything she wants to. If Phaedra doesn't go to the reunion you have the same thing. She needs to go, take her beating and keep it moving. She should be fine at the reunion as long as she doesn't engage too much and provoke Kenya.

The View
I only made it two minutes in that video. He keeps saying how Mia turned the kids against him, but does he not take ANY responsibility for getting with his children's SISTER? He doesn't see how that is confusing for them? I honestly don't understand how she would have to make them angry at him. They lost a sister and a father and it's his fault regardless of the Dylan stuff. I can't even believe he'd try to fight for custody.
