Her whole face looks swollen in the preview shows on Bravo's website (Briana Gives Birth). You can REALLY tell in her talking head. I'm not sure what she got, but the smart thing would've been to get it done as soon as last season wrapped filming, that way her face would have time to settle. The sad thing is, she actually looked good at the last reunion. She didn't need ANYTHING, even fillers.

The New York situation is just crazy. It's a shame that Bravo never aired Vancouver, now it would probably be confusing since the show is in it's second season. I think it would've done well and the second season could've been on deck in case something like this happened. if the show wasn't successful, it's a cheap import so it wuldn't have mattered. A new cast won't save New York anymore than that reboot did. There wasn't anything wrong with the 3 ladies they added, but the chemistry was wrong overall. Firing Jill and Alex is what really killed the show. Neither one of them should've been fired regardless of anything. Next to Bethenny they were the stars! Plus with Alex's big social networking, I feel she would've been important in this day and age. She was a good Bravo cheerleader who followed the rules and would've done whatever was asked of her. They need to suck it up and ask these two back if they want a chance of reviving this show,.

I hope RHOM adds that transgendered woman as a new Housewife. She seemed like she'd have an interesting story to tell.

I like Quad for the drama, but she and Mariah have potential to be very annoying. I thought they were trying too hard and I didn't like them using the gay lingo. Kari was fabulous! I expected her to be more quiet, but she's very in your face. That shocks me considering she might end up punched by Quad. She doesn't seem afraid of speaking up AT ALL.

I think Kenya had valid reason to get upset. With Porsha she invited her as Miss USA and used that in her introduction, but wasn't professional to do her research before making a speech. That was rude and she should've been clocked for that. Also, Kenya did the right thing by leaving the party and not making a scene. Porsha followed her outside as she was leaving. Then in Anguilla it's the same thing. Nene, Kenya and the girls are having a positive conversation and then Porsha kept trying to pick a fight, which worked. I'm annoyed with Kenya at this point, but I can't stand Porsha either. She's a basic, hating shyt-starter.

When I say Sheree went out with a bang, I mean that she was still providing unforgettable moments in RHOA history. The fight with Nene that opened the season, the RIDICULOUS Chateau Sheree mess which STILL is spawning parody videos, the epic reunion performance where everybody laid into her, her son sleeping on the air mattress, the fight with Bob, Marlo, etc. Yes she was pathetic, but that stuff was great tv. These season we have all the women on the sidelines treading water. Nene for example has been absolutely useless. The chemistry isn't there with the current cast. As soon as Kim left it went downhill.

I think last season was much better than this one. This season didn't have many memorable moments and it always felt like we were waiting for it to pick up momentum. As much as I enjoyed Kenya, it was obvious she was playing for the cameras, which was annoying. I understand Sheree needed to go, but she went out with a bang IMO, including that fabulous reunion.

Fallon is brilliant in season one. For me, Dynasty is only good seasons 1-2 & 9. Right now I've been re-watching the series and it has been a chore to get through. I'm currently stuck somewhere in season six, but I haven't watched in two months. I decided to watch The Colbys, which actually was MUCH better than Dynasty was at that point. Both seasons were good, but season two you can see a huge improvement.

Oh yes! It was Bethenny vs Luann, not Kelly as I originally remembered. Those first three seasons were golden, but overall I still find New York the best over the 5 seasons.

She was prominently featured on RHONY in one episode. She was shown as a friend of either Bethenny or Kelly and they went to a fashion show together and Kelly and Bethenny got into a huge fight with Lisa in the middle. Monday on WWHL they asked Lisa if she'd join the housewives and she didn't seem interested. She said she probably wouldn't get along with Brandi and that she doesn't know how she'd fare under that type of pressure. Andy said she'd make a great housewife since she already knows them all.

I just re-read this entire thread, still dreaming of one day seeing this show LOL. At the very least it's nice to be able to read so much about it, more than I ever thought I'd learn. It looks like such an interesting soap.

My love for Lauri is that she was like a real life Desperate Housewife. The way she was such a disaster, lost everything and somehow managed to snag a rich husband was a HUGE shock to me. I loved her not because she was a sweet person but because her family was *so* interesting and so real for a show like this. The drama with Josh is not something these shows would show now. I hate that she's returning just to stir up gossip, which isn't what she was about, but that's what you need to do to survive on this show now. I miss the focus on families. Once it became a modern Housewives show it began to suck IMO.

Sorry, Kandi was just a dumbass when it came to Tardy For the Party. Kim is smart with her money and did that lol. I think Kandi looks stupid revisiting it so much later.

I don't think Faye would've done well at the reunion, but I wouldn't have minded seeing at least of the "Friends" appear. That has become a staple.

Why is Bravo trolling? Their Facebook page just posted "Missing Marlo?" It's then followed with a gallery of pics showing her developing friendship with Nene. They are wrong for this lol. I wonder if this means she truly is making an appearance or are they considering her for next season. I feel they're probably just trolling lol. On the subject of BH, I LOVE seeing Yolanda shut Faye down. I also liked the preview of her doing the same to Adrienne.

Martha Madison has always looked like an old soccer mom, but Crystal Chappell looks terrible these days.

Even TMZ is reporting Adrienne won't appear on the reunion, so I wonder how things will be. I know Marisa and Camille aren't appearing either. Adrienne is so central to everything that I do feel she's needed. I wanted to see Yolanda go after her *so* bad. I feel this reunion will suck without her. She was at the center of everything. I guess Kyle will take most of the heat now. Considering Camille and Marisa won't be there, I wonder who the special guests will be? Faye? She wasn't there as much as Marisa, but she did make an impact. I read Paul will have a filmed segment, but if that's true it kinda throws out Adrienne's reasoning for not appearing.

In terms of popularity, Teresa is definitely in line with Nene and Lisa as the breakout star of their franchise. I'd say Kim Zolciak is another one as well.

Tami posted a picture of the new cast doing press photos. It looks official that Suzie, Tami, Evelyn and Shaunie are back with one new housewife. Sad to think all those girls got fired. It's like they got punished for being treated like garbage. I certainly will miss Kesha, Jennifer and Royce. Here's a link to the cast pic: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/photo.php?fbid=498486733543514&set=a.345653295493526.84142.134043806654477&type=3&theater I guess we should expect an announcement soon. I'm very curious how that super-trailer will be. Rumors have it that Tami and Shaunie are fueding and that Tami wants off the show. We'll see...

Nene has said in multiple interviews that they should bring Marlo back. I hope somebody listens.

Karlie was absolutely gorgeous and was great at stirring [!@#$%^&*]. I thought she was mostly harmless and the girls were always hating on her. I LURVE me some Karlie Redd.

K Michelle seemed like trash in the first season so this doesn't surprise me. I hated her and was Team Karlie the entire time. I hope people see how she is in the second season.

Wow! I am LOVING Vancouver! The new episode was perfect! I wish Beverly Hills could be more like this show. It has it's drama, but it has a good balance and there isn't anything that feels dark. I hate the darkness of some of these series. I LOVED Ronnie calling Amanda out. Amanda WAS being a bitch at Jody's! Yes Ioulia was annoying at the fitting, but she started getting personal and insulting, which wasn't necessary. I'm glad Ronnie called her out on that. I wish she had mentioned WHY she called her a bitch when they were at dinner. I also loved how Mary handled the situation with Robin. I think she treated Robin like a friend and was kind and supportive while still defending her producer. I came in with mixed thoughts about the new girls, but three episodes in and I'm completely satisfied. Can't wait for Mary vs Toddlers & Tiaras next week!

I can't get enough of Jody and her Toddlers & Tiara's wardrobe. She is perfection. The biggest surprise though is how much I love Robin. Like Brandi and Christina, she's up there as most shockingly enjoyable housewife.

People complained about how vile NYC got (which I thought was BS), but season four still got good ratings. There needed to be a change, but not a massive overhaul. Especially when you look and see how dark every other non ATL/OC show has gotten. Ratings did rise for season five, but they started so low and I don't think they ever had an episode over 2 million. I also recall JilL Zarin's WWHL episode getting higher ratings than the RHONY episode, which is embarassing. At this point IDK what to think. I feel for the double season they should've added one or two new housewives. Especially since it was filming back to back, something needed to be done to set the two seasons a part. At this point things are so dark and storylines are set in stone. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with. Firing Marlo killed this season. She had built a nice momentum and everything she said in the reunion basically came true. Not having her there to throw shade on Kim is TV Gold that we lost. Kandi has been a chore to watch, but having Marlo as a thorn would've been great. I also feel Nene would've been more involved with Marlo around. These ladies just seem so dull this season. I also think Kenya has had to really amp up the drama since nobody is giving them anything to work with.
