Oh I thought Lydia just killed Heather. And I'm sorry, but Lisa Vanderpump is more cover-worthy than Heather EVER will be. She seems to think she is some well known, respected actress, but she never built on her early successes. The guest starring gigs she has now are because of her role on this show. I'd have more respect if I saw her out there grinding, but it seems obvious she'll only act enough to get a storyline on this show.

For the 5th chair I wouldn't mind Ana from Real Housewives of Miami. I would've never thought it, but she did very well when guest co-hosting. Margaret Cho would be another good choice, and going back to housewives I think Alex McCord would be a good choice. I also think it's time for Sherri to go. I just don't understand her at all. The only way I'd accept Hoda on this show is if she were replacing Meredith back in the day.

Last season Frankie was just barely learning how to say small phrases like "I love you."

That's actually one of my favorite tags. What I hate is when they change it for no reason and then the housewife ends up with a crappy one. Gretchen should still have, "Don't Call me a princess, call me the boss!"

The Miami premiere was good, but once again, it makes NO SENSE to have Marysol as a "Friend." From the previews and from the amount she appeared in the premiere, she is basically a housewife. Even if at some point she misses a few events or episodes, it still seems like she'll be an important part of the series, they even have continued her talking heads. The only thing I *didn't* love was Alexia back full-time. I enjoyed her the first two season because there were more women, but with her back full-time that means a heavier focus on her family life which I've never been fond of. There is something very guarded about her, which I don't like. I would've preferred Ana and Marysol back and keep her as a friend. Her main appeal for me are her looks. Lea was very sneaky and calculated in her moves this episode. Especially when she pulled out Adriana's art to throw that in her face. A real friend wouldn't do that, even once the relationship breaks up. Also, I just watched the reunion yesterday and Lea went IN on Adriana very early in part 1. Adriana DID support Lea in the Marysol feud, both during the series and also the reunion. She didn't defend her with the Ana thing, but I don't think anybody could because that was fresh information and between the two of them. Nobody knew enough to defend Ana OR Lea in that regard. I think Adriana, for all her drama, is very up front about most things and she *did* seem like a good friend to Lea.

HOW THE HELL DID I NOT KNOW THIS?! Mama Elsa had a stroke in March and has been in critical care for several months. That is just heartbreaking. I know the supertrailer mentioned something happening to Elsa, but I had no idea it was so serious. Will be praying for that diva and wishing her a strong recovery.

Why does it seem like Shaunie is trying to convince Tami not to beat her ass in that last clip?!?! I found this trailer a little quiet, but the smaller cast looks like it might work. It looks more like a Bravo reality show. I LURVE the new girl from the jump. She has great hair and looks like there isn't a cast member she's afraid of. I hate all this "circle" BS and she seems like she's over it as well. She also seems delusional so she'll fit right in. I said I was going to quit this tired ass show, but I'm here for season 5! :D

Danielle on this season would've been epic. Melissa wouldn't know what to do with herself!

Considering how worried Bravo was about season 5 throughout filming, there is no doubt in my mind she would've been a full-time housewife by the time it aired. However, she had no way of knowing the new housewives would be such a bust. She could've been the glue that held that show together. The problem was chemistry and keeping LuAnn was stupid. It made sense since they wanted to make it more Beverly Hills, but she never had strong story with Ramona and Sonja and as it turned out, she had little chemistry with the new ladies. I can see Alex's reasoning for turning them down though and she certainly isn't sulking about it. Simon and Alex were a big part of the success for this show and to be demoted was kinda insulting. They handled it the right way by moving on and making their own success in other ways. Much better than most ex-housewives (like Jill) who won't stop going on and on about it and trashing the network.

The sad thing here is that Jill had earned her spot back in terms of ratings for her WWHL special, but she is just too much of a mess to be asked back. I still don't understand why they never asked Alex back. She is more popular than they gave her credit for.

My realistic dream cast for next season: Lauri, Vicki, Tamra, Gretchen, Heather, Lydia Recurring: Brianna, MAYBE Alexis I don't expect any completely new housewives. I could see them asking Jeana back for guest appearances, but nothing more. As annoying as Gretchen can be, her and Slade are too central to be written out. As Bravo is showing with RHOM, RHONJ, RHOA and even tired RHONY, they aren't trying to change the casts too much. RHOC had a good season so I'm sure they're going to try and build from that. In terms of other housewives series, my prediction is that RHOBH will replace New Jersey (sometime in October?), then New York will replace Miami (November?) and then RHOA will make it's grand return in the first quarter of next year. I think I Dream of Nene will make up for the absence of RHOA, so they won't rush to release it. If it's a hit then they can get double the return on the same group of people.

I like the idea of what Nene's going for, but the color and execution is terrible. I do wish they'd just make Marlo a housewife instead of anybody new. In other news, the press release for Leann and Eddie's new vh1 reality show states the sons will clearly be a major part of the show. How is that fair? I hope the deal means that they are also able to appear on RHOBH. I don't understand why they'd be able to appear on Eddie's show and not Brandi's.

The only good tagline is Adriana. I know overall it'll be good, but it's a boring group as a core five I'd say.

Now that I hear about this Ryan stuff, I hope Lydia RIPS into Brianna at the reunion. As usual that ungrateful demon seed is going to be on just to make her mother look bad, but this season I feel she was more in the wrong than Vicki. I hope the ladies don't give her a pass now that they've all seen the footage. In other news, the RHOM premiere is apparently available on Comcast On Demand. I wonder if it's on Time Warner. My brother has that and I'm tempted to go to his house to watch it.

http://instagram.com/p/cpcIs-nwYI/ That pic comes from the RHOC reunion. I wonder what happened...you have Briana with her shoes off and all the women gathering around Vicki. Andy looks pretty shocked too. I can't wait for this!

I believe Brooke confirmed next season is happening and Jackie, Draya and I think Malasyia have been spotted filming.

This is why I don't like Marysol as a part-time housewife when you have tired hoes like Kim Richards still on the roster.

They aren't gonna cancel such a high rated show. Teresa is the only reason to watch, but they will attempt to revamp it.

RHOC Reunion Preview: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/real-housewives-of-oc-reunion-preview-briana-curses-out-brooks-gretchen-rossi-weeps-2013317#ixzz2afDGh3IQ No wonder there are three parts! You have Briana, Brooks AND Lauri appearing. I thought it was just Lauri. It looks explosive. I'm kinda confused as to why Lydia and Heather seem to be arguing, but I'm glad it's them because I feel Lydia will give it to her and won't back down. It feels *so* weird to have Alexis sitting next to Tamra. That is just like some Twilight Zone [!@#$%^&*]. Lauri looks really good and Gretchen's tears towards the end seemed so fake. August 12th is going to be a great night. RHOC and RHOM seem very compatible so hopefully the RHOC viewers will stay tuned for RHOM.

I thought she lived primarily in New York, even when Baskestball Wives was on? I would love to see how she'd interact with those monsters. I think it would be a good fit.

That Coop/Megan story was a total bust. I also hated Lexi, although she is better in season 7. I feel like Megan was too goody-two-shoes for this type of show. Even our previous heroines (Alison, Jane) had more edge to them. Even reformed Jo had more edge.

I had heard rumors prior to the official announcement that Marysol was becoming a friend by choice, but this article disputes thats. Full article: http://allthingsrh.com/marysol-patton-explains-why-bravo-changed-the-cast-for-rhom-season-3/ To me, that makes it pretty clear it wasn't her choice, especially if she says she wants to stay on the show for many years. Even if she wasn't a huge driving force this season, that hasn't stopped people like Kim Richards, Cynthia Bailey and others from having quiet seasons, but staying as a Housewife.

That Miami promo is fierce as hell, but why does it feature Marysol, yet she isn't considered a full-time housewife? It makes no sense considering she's all over the supertrailer, filmed just as much as she did before AND because they'll be featuring her family life (i.e. Mama Elsa).

As I continue to watch season 7 I see why it didn't work. The storylines are all right, but the casting is off. Megan and Kyle's younger brother get a large amount of screentime and they are both incredibly dull. I like the more mature feel, but I need more spark in the cast. They should've written out Megan instead of Taylor and if they wanted a brother for Kyle, they should've brought him on with a wife (similar to the old days), or they could've recreated Billy/Alison with Kyle's brother and a female roommate.

That look of pure fear! And this is exactly what these girls deserve. Shaunie was fighting to get this Tasha on the show and it looks like it might backfire. I hope that this is a season of fuckery and that Evelyn, especially, is tormented by these women. It's the only thing that will make up for the mass firings.
