Oh I love Boyce! She is fabulous and the previews for next week look great. I think Brandi is picking on her because she's rich and pretty, but also because she seemed like the type of person who can't fight back. I'm glad she shows no signs of backing down. It looks like she's really gonna dig in her ass. I can't wait!

Diana and a full-time Marlo would be good enough for me to dump Kenya. But they could always do your cast with a couple as "friends." I'd be down for that.

I'm surprised they didn't just call Alexis like they did last season. I would've offered her a slight raise and kept her just for the numbers.

Cynthia ain't going anywhere. The only one in real danger I'd say is Porsha. Is Mynique catches on then Porsha is done for sure. Marlo is also the spoiler because we don't know how well her stint this season is going to go. She was a huge hit on I Dream of Nene, but as we've seen in the past, there are a lot of politics that come with Marlo being added. She always delivers and she brings ratings, but they keep hating on her. My best guess for next season is Kandi, Nene, Cynthia, Mynique, Kenya and Phaedra. If Marlo does develop a true friendship with Kenya, then I predict she'll be a full-time "friend" since nobody wants to film with Kenya.

Rumor-mill says Nene is pushing hard for Mynique to join the cast. She wants an ally obviously. Considering she falls out with Marlo for being friends with Kenya, I'm not surprised she does the same with Cynthia.

From the same woman who brought us "BRIDEmaids" and "GREG kids." I love when Nene says these things. I was so happy that she kept repeating that this is a "Girls BUNDING trip."

Oh yes! It's a shame Kim left. I feel that season would've been epic had she remained until the end. Just the short time she was there she was such a spark plug for Kandi and Nene. I wanted to see more of the turning point in Kim/Kandi's relationship on screen. I wish she was on this season so we could see Kim win the Tardy For the Party lawsuit.

Did anybody do anything last season other than Kenya and Porsha? Cynthia and Nene had no storyline either. I do think Kandi did her best last season, she at least had a new man.

Kandi doesn't get enough credit for being a vital cast member since she first arrived. I think she's delivered each season.

This week is the type of Kenya I liked. I thought this episode was excellent and next week looks great. I guess they're finally kicking things into high gear. They needed a new housewife and Mynique is fitting in perfectly. She's beautiful, like a feminine Sheree and a total mess. I can't wait to see Porsha, Kandi and Phaedra drag her ass. Also can't wait for Porsha next week after the "Underground Railroad" preview on Bravotv.com. She is SO dumb lol. Kenya was also in top form!! I loved her comment about how she wanted to kick up her ashy feet and relax. She was PERFECT. I also loved her nagging Kandi.

Wait, so Lady Gaga's last album sold 440,000 in it's first week at 99 cents?! That is ridiculous. People will remember the big number, but the fact that Beyonce sold 800,000+ at full price is INSANE. With no promo! Wow! And all those tour profits. She is just killing everything. I knew when I saw how brilliant 4 was that things were changing. The stuff from 4 and this new album are just on another level from the music, to the visual to every aspect really. I'm happy for my girl.

Bone-straight hair doesn't work on Nene. If she had it more like Beyonce's short haircut she'd look fine.

I watched the previews of the videos, but wasn't able to watch any of them yet. They all seemed to be of a high quality though. The album was fantastic from beginning to end. Because she released it so late I haven't been able to repeat it as often as I'd like, but so far this is good. Not a grower, which is what I was expecting. The way she's released this will be legendary though. Here everybody was complaining about the wait, but she's ended up delivering more than most artists do over the span of 4-5 albums. 17 music videos of this quality is INSANE. And she also went to prove that if you want to keep something a secret YOU CAN. I can't imagine how the non-disclosure forms were for this project. I can't wait to see how it sells throughout the month.

I don't understand the promo for this album. I do think both of these singles, especially Work Bitch (an obvious 'popcorn' single) could've done well with promo. She's also had so many different major opportunities that her label could've placed her to perform. Considering her singing isn't her stand point, she NEEDS those performances. That's all she has basically lol. No performances? It's just nuts. She didn't even do one of the morning shows.

Kandi doesn't need another spin-off. They need to save all this drama for the main show. I think it would be foolish to spin this off. At the very least I'd do a two hour wedding episode, but keep it as RHOA.

This season I'm just so disgusted with Brandi. I'm not offended by anything she's said, but I'm just over her. She's far too crass. I'm no lady, but dayum. She is just so gutterbutt. At least try to be clever when being naughty. She's very juvenile and I'm over her. Carlton's hilarious with her hatred of Kyle, I'm still loving Yolanda and most importantly, I look at this season as a good comeback for the Richard's sisters. I'm not hating Lisa, but she's being a little too bitchy for my taste and is not doing anything of interest. Joyce is a basic bitch, but I'm still giving her a chance.

When I watch ATL I'm satisfied, but I find it very forgettable as soon as it's over. I need more interesting dynamics within the girls. I LOVE that these franchises are going back to showing us their day-to-day lives and families, but I still need interesting bonds among the ladies.

I sense it will get better, but these episodes seem like treading water. Cynthia's storylines this season are just boring. It's repetitive and this time I don't find myself caring. Porsha is unwatchable since she's overused the Kordell stuff. On her own she simply isn't interesting, although her sister is FABULOUS and needs to be a soap star. Then you have Nene in one episode per week and Kandi and Phaedra are the only ones performing. It's obvious nobody wants to film with Kenya. She's just off looking like a damn fool until another forced group meeting gives her the chance to cause trouble.

Atlanta is a snoozefest this season with the same cast. I never bought the chemistry of this group last season and this year they're really stretching. Once again, Nene is an extra and she can't cause any conflict because she's friends with Cynthia and doesn't care about the rest. It's very telling that her main conflict comes from MARLO later in the season. Kenya is too cartoonish for them to pin all their hopes on. I like some of the individual scenes, but overall the show is forgettable this year. I'm watching only for Kandi and Phaedra this year. Nene's one scene a week is good, but not enough.

I read a tweet that LuAnn was a "Friend" this season, but I don't think that could possibly be true. I expect the new housewife to be an actual wife. She's too high profile not to be.

I can't wait to see Aviva to return in full-on bitch mode. It was *so* obvious last year that she had no awareness of how she was behaving. In all her pre-show interviews and even as things progressed she defended everything she did and still thought the other ladies were in the wrong. It wasn't until AFTER the first vacation episode aired that she started to apologize, AFTER everybody called her out for acting nuts. At the reunion she looked like she wanted to stab each and every housewife as she repeated her obviously-rehearsed "apologies." It was hilarious because I remember Ramona and Sonja GOING IN and she just looked like she wanted to kill them, but she still stuck with her line of apology.

The RHONY teaser was definitely too short, but there is still quite a bit of time before it's premiere. My guess is that they're starting earlier with promo since it's been away for so long. I hope they get new opening credits as well considering the hiatus. I can't wait to hear the premiere date. Considering where RHOBH and RHOA are, I'd say the earliest it could replace one of those would be in March. Since it's been so long my guess is that they will launch it following another HW series for a boost. Maybe once Vanderpump Rules wraps they'll air it after Beverly Hills. I predict that Married to Medicine is going to take over after ATL leaves. I still am enjoying Beverly Hills. I liked that this episode was mostly normal old school housewives stuff. One thing that killed Miami for me was that each episode seemed to need a party or event to gather the women together. Sometimes it's okay to just show their homelife and have 2-3 person scenes that show their developing friendships. I definitely think they're handling this reboot very well. I'm still not sold on Joyce, but overall I think this is okay.

Twitter is buzzing about a RHONY promo that aired during Courtney Loves Dallas. I hope this means they'll update the website and have the supertrailer/release date soon. I just can't stand that other people have seen a promo and it's not online. ETA: My frown is upside down because the teaser is now online! http://instagram.com/p/hkf33Fq6bb/

Get ready to hate Brandi for the next three episodes, according to the lady herself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gqzFNzKS5w

Oh wow! Can yall send this to me?
