I need to see more episodes to decide who I believe. Toya has been messy, but Mariah has been bad too. I find her to be worse than Quad because she always seems to think she's right and takes responsibility for nothing. That wine tasting scene with Mariah and Kari was terrible. I didn't feel that Kari was out of place and Mariah just was mad her friend wasn't invited and kept hitting below the belt. As I continue to watch the ones that I find myself REALLY liking are Jackie, Simone, Kari (yes, not a typo!) and Quad. They are all harmless, fun and unique personalities. Toya and Mariah are both haters and think too highly of themselves.

I think Peter is a sexy piece of chocolate.

Well Nene has said she doesn't like LIsa, probably due to her friendship with Kyle Richards. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

I haven't watched it yet, but I think it would've been better with a competition style format instead of different people each week. Similar to Vanderpump Rules. Have Kandi as the host and mentor, but also have judges to showcase different styles.

I forget the exact ratings, but Kandi's spin-off was a HUUUGE flop. I recall it premiered with a .03 in the demo and around 600,000 viewers. I wonder how Kim's show will fare. It's already has a first season that maintaining it's strong ratings, so we'll see.

I watched the first episode of this season and I don't like Heather. I liked her in the beginning, but she seems so stuck up and like she wants to be Queen Bee. I'd love to see her on Beverly Hills, where she'd get eaten alive.

I actually liked her ignoring Porsha and making her irrelevant. The most important thing Kenya said is that she is the reason Porsha is anything on this show and that's true. I look forward to the next two parts, which I feel will help unravel the mirage Porsha was selling about her pitcher perfect marriage.

I know many were going crazy over ATL's reunion, but I wasn't impressed. They had a lot to live up to after season four and I found it entertaining, but like this entire season it was mostly just "meh." Last season had better fashions and even at the end of part one (which I just finished) you had so much crazy drama. The way everybody shaded Sheree was legendary, the fight between Nene/Sheree, Phaedra giving it to Sheree, Neverland and then Marlo perfectly slaying everybody in her way, looking fabulous while doing it. I found myself disappointed in many of Porsha, Phaedra and Kenya's comebacks, but Phaedra did the best job of trying to keep up. Overall, this group of women doesn't have as good chemistry. This unit leaves Nene with nothing to do which is why this season didn't work for me. I enjoy Kenya, but she's obviously acting and not being herself. I miss Nene having Sheree and Kim and all the history so she could go crazy on them. Whatever happens next season needs a Nene-centric shake up. Someone who can be a more interesting friend than Cynthia and a new rival for her. She needs to be at the forefront. I also will never stop wanting Marlo back.

With New Jersey I think it's smart to keep the cast the same if only because the show is so successful. However, in order to truly grow they need to add at least two new women to give the show a new dynamic. Eventually people will get tired of the same ole same ole and they need to have a backup plan BEFORE things go haywire. This season they should've for sure had Jennifer Dalton and even Kim D as official new housewifes just to give us something fresh. If I see a trailer with mainly just the main five and it's the same ole same ole, then I know I won't be tuning in full-time. Last season I think I watched only five episodes here and there.

Yes, streaming works too. I just don't understand why these people choose to sit and do nothing with these shows when they have several outlets for them with Netflix and Hulu around. Netflix has no soap section, yet Warner Brothers hasn't tried to add the 80s soaps, Peyton Place is an option and then of course daytime soaps. I really don't understand it.

As a whole I think the entire series is very watching (starting with Jo's arrival of course), but my least favorite was probably the 7th season. I didn't mind them paring down the cast, but the way it was done didn't work. I missed Taylor and I found Megan boring, same for Kyle's brother. I HATED the Eve story as well. It was watchable, but felt dull. I also was never a big Lexie fan so she wasn't enough to keep me interested.

Brandi would've been a housewife whether she appeared at the reunion or not. She was heavily featured in almost every episode of that season and was well received.

I knew K Michelle was trash during season one, but most people seemed to buy her act. I'm glad it looks like her true colors are out here. It's shocking to me that so many people went on and on about how old Karlie Redd was. K Michelle is actually 25 and I don't care how old Karlie is, she looked more 25 than K Michelle's 40 year old looking ass.

They probably will spin it that either Teresa is responsible for the guy being there or she wasn't helping them and therefore she agreed with his comments. The only problem with Kandi's looks is in the way she dresses. She cleans up nicely at most events, but (and the same is true for Phaedra) her clothes are generally too small which makes her look bigger than she is. I actually think Kandi is very cute. Her hair can be hit or miss though. As for Phaedra, I find that I fell out of love with her this season. The feud with Kenya was too nasty and I don't like Phaedra that way. She can be as sexual as she wants, but the mud-slinging was ugly IMO. I don't want her making those ultra personal insults, I feel she is smarter than that. I prefer things like her previous showdowns with Nene and Sheree where she put them in their place in a classy and sassy way.

I saw Alyssa Edwards live a few weeks back and she was a brilliant live performer. Her lipsyncs on the show have been good, but in person she really puts on a hell of a show. Where I live we have a weekly RuPaul show every Thursday with one or two of the girls from the show performing. Stacey Layne Matthews lives in San Antonio so she's included weekly as well. I haven't been going often, but I plan on being there for Jinkx next week and I'm going to try for Alaska later in the month. As for the actual show, I think overall the talent is very strong this season. Last season you could immediately tell the top 3-4, but this season I do think many of the queens could've been there. Right now I do think Roxxxy is overpraised and I don't get Detox. I also never liked Raven and since they're similar that could be why. Coco is disappointing because I feel she's the total package, but she always ends up screwing up somehow. Overall they're all very strong (including Alyssa) so it's little things I find myself nit-picking, which is a good problem to have. I wonder how the next All Stars will be as well. I'd like them to do themed seasons. A plus-size season would be a classic.

The cast is impressive! I'll be giving this a shot.

I'm going to say that OVERALL the ladies look good, with the exception of the NYC and OC gals who look terrible. The only OC gal that looks good is Lydia and Ramona is probably the best from NYC. If this is an indication of who is returning, then I say those are solid blocks, however it is VERY sad to see NYC reduced to just having Ramona as an original, if that's the case. I agree they need a proper revamp, but I miss those original ladies. I'm curious which New York housewife was called and didn't know the Upfronts were coming up. My guess is that housewife won't be returning LOL.

I'm confused about why OC and NJ have such cheap cast shots. Miami, Beverly Hills, New York and Atlanta all has such stylized shots and high production values. This is like a step back for them. I'm also disappointed that there aren't any official new housewives, when we know there were several women heavily filming with them. Jennifer Dalton in particular, is going to basically be a housewife. I don't understand why they don't just put a sixth woman to shake things up. I guess Bravo is going to use Married to Medicine as the second housewives series and then New Jersey will premiere on the back of that. Then we'll have New Jersey and OC going until Miami is ready. Then they'll have New York replace New Jersey in the fall.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!! VH1 has been boring as hell so this will be a nice shot in the arm!

I would love for the company that owns this to just start releasing it on DVD. Somebody needs to start releasing these old soaps in big blocks, either six month or full year sets. Do it cheaply and price it reasonably and I could see them selling a decent amount.

I think the smartest place for Jennifer would be on RHONY. She obviously doesn't want heavy drama and that show needs someone youthful and DIFFERENT. With Miami she would run the risk of returning to the type of behavior she had on Basketball Wives, but she would probably fit in well there.

Cheap don't be throwing no shade as us Marlo fans! According to Nene they DID film Marlo, so we had every reason to expect her to be featured. I still maintain it was a mistake not to have her on. She would've owned this season.

Kari said in her blog that her husband was legally separated when they started dating. I don't think that is the same as being the mistress to a married man. At that point they were living separate lives and probably living separately as well. When you have money it takes time to get a divorce, sometimes years, and I don't think to be a good person you should stay single simply because your divorce isn't finalized. As Kari said, she had to completely take over his finances, so he was probably wiped out with that divorce. I appreciate that at least Kari has shown a business knowledge and seems to have a career of her own. For all her talk of being a doctors wife, at least she's working. I find myself being drawn to Kari and the two doctors just because they seem to have a touch of class and knowledge that the others lack. The others seem far too drawn to these foolish social events. I do like the combination of the two though.

I'm pretty sure there was an article in this thread, but what does everybody think of RHOC hitting 100 episodes this season? They're going to have a 2-hour standalone special that interviews the old housewives and revisits the history of the show. This should be coming up very soon. According to Wikipedia the season premiere is episode 102, but they include Reunions and Lost Footage as episodes. I wonder what episode Bravo will make the official episode 100.

London, Ana from Miami is the one with documentation that proved nothing LOL. I still believe it must've proved something, because Lea had her lawyers cut that out of the reunion.
