Ramona and Alex are walking in a fashion show together today. Hopefully we'll get some pictures. It's a shame the show won't be filming for this. It's holding most of it's lead-in and hasn't seen a drop yet. Shah's of Sunset also is getting a reunion (two parts!) so Bravo is finally branching out and having some success with non-HWs shows.

I'm sorry, but Vancouver has taken over for Beverly Hills and New York in my life. That season looks better than Bravo once again! I can't believe they don't air this!

I thought DeShawn was an pretentious idiot. She was the original Porsha. Lisa I really enjoyed and I feel she was popular enough to stick around if she wanted to. I could see her being more outgoing than some of the current wives.

If Jill comes back and Alex doesn't then I will scream. Honestly, if they want to save the series I don't think they can add any new housewives. I'd bring back Jill and Alex and let the fur fly. I'd dump Heather so you don't have a cast of 8. Or they could dump Sonja or LuAnn. If Bravo is willing to deal with the stress of having Jill on the show, then I'm sure the ratings will pay off.

She tweeted that this is a recurring role, so expect to see her back!

I feel the same as you, I enjoy most of the show, just not the stuff involving Adrienne. Since the lead story involves her, it drags the show down for me. I LURVE Yolanda. She's the perfect housewife. I also enjoy Marisa as far as newbies go.

All of the girls this season are supporting Kenya. She's bringing it. Nene flat out is useless as well. Losing Kim KILLED Nene's story. Nene and Sheree could interact in a way that got Nene's attention. None of the other girls can get that kind of rise out of Nene. I also maintain Marlo would've amped things up. Everything she said about Kim in the reunion was true! Imagine how it would be watching her throw that in Kim's face! Plus Marlo got under Kandi's skin and could give Kandi someone to spar off of, which she doesn't have without Kim. As for BH, I'm so bored with it! Like Yolanda, I'm over Adrienne and this story. Adrienne isn't even around, why do we have to keep going over it?! I hate to see Camille dragging herself in the gutter over this mess.

It's so sad reading this thread and getting excited about Melrose again! I'll never understand that horrible reboot and how wrong those writers were for the show. I don't understand why Darren Star wasn't involved when he's continued to work. Both 90210 and MP 2.0 could've been viable huge brands for CW had they done them right. Melrose especially. Just the thought of killing off Amanda in the pilot shows those writers should've never been hired and whoever greenlit that should be fired as well. I wonder if anybody will look into this again. It really shocks me that Dallas seems to have done well, yet nobody is trying to reboot anything else. All of the networks seem to have trouble launching new primetime soaps, yet nothing. It's especially shocking that Dynasty hasn't been brought back since Joan Collins remains popular and Revenge is doing well.

Andy says you DO NOT wanna miss the last 10 minutes of ATL tonight! I can't wait to see what's up.

Woman's World is fabulous! Much better than her early 00s dance tracks. I downloaded her Discography years ago and I've listened to a lot of it. I love her 70s albums (Dark Lady is my favorite) and Half-Breed is just a wonderful song. I haven't found much love for her 80s stuff yet, but I'll give that a go eventually. Considering I love pop music so much you'd think I'd love Believe and the album that followed, but all the vocoder and autotune killed it for me. Cher's voice is too strong for that. It just sounds weird and takes me out of the song.

If Adrienne is really dating Sean Stewart, I hope he's grown up. From past reality shows he seems like a total creep and loser. In other Beverly Hills news, Peter Thomas and Lisa Vanderpump might be beefing lol... Lisa didn't give him the Twitter fight he wanted....

From pics, it looks like Lil Kim's friend Jennifer Dalton and Kim D are going to be official housewives. I'd be surprused if it were anyone else since these are the only newbies at most events. Still wouldn't surprise me to see Kathy as a Friend either. BTW, there s a rumor Danielle appeared at Gia's birthday party also attended by Melissa, who fought with Kim D.

I liked NYC too, but I can still understand why others didn't and I don't think it completely worked. It could've been a perfect season if Luann had a purpose, but they went in with the wrong goals. I always liked the balance with Alex showing the Brooklyn side of things. I also dislike the lack of families or homes. Did we ever see Heather's home? We barely saw Aviva's NYC place, I think just the bathroom really and only a couple scenes at Carole's place. I missed The Munster's and what they brought.

OC was the one that made me a fan, obviously, but I stopped caring about it when Tamra and Gretchen took over. Throw in Alexis and it just wasn't the same anymore. It took until Heather arrived for them to properly get a housewife who could replace Laurie and Jeana, who both were IMO HUGE for this series. Tamra plays to he cameras far too much and has ruined this franchise and Gretchen and Alexis are alright, but just not good enough IMO. I usually start watching and then get bored. As for NYC, they really screwed up and now have to deal with it. Kelly and Cindy going is no big deal, but Alex and Jill are the two popular ones and firing both (when they had ample story) was foolish. I understand Jill was toxic and needed to go, but Alex never should've been fired. In terms of keeping Luann, I don't understand that at all. I know their had their foolish idea to make it like BH, but they fired he only people she had a storyline with (Alex, Kelly, Cindy, Jill)! Is it any surprise she was useless? Now the big problem with NYC is that they can't fire the new HWs because it'll be admitting the reboot is a failure, but that cast just doesn't pop. I still say, invite everybody back and add Alex and see what happens. Hell, maybe even bring back Kelly. More new faces isn't the way to go IMO.

Kenya's song was fierce. She was smart to rap instead of trying to sing and the lyrics were simple, but effective. I like that she doesn't take herself too seriously and can handle criticism. So annoyed with this show! I've been over Kyle, but Maurico is done for me now as well. Did he forget throwing Taylor out of his party because her husband was suing Camille? But now he wants Brandi to violate her lawyers wishes and talk to Adrienne? Sorry, she didn't lie and didn't really do anything major enough to get a lawyer involved. Adrienne knows Brandi doesn't have lots of money so her way of getting back at her is a BS law suit that she knows Brandi can't afford to fight. She knows and doesn't expect anything to come of it, but she wants to drain Brandi's bank account and cause her stress. I'm sick of Brandi having to apologize for it. Adrienne is just sick to me. This season of RHOBH has provided the most frank and quote worthy blogs. This episode alone: Marisa: "Let's talk about Taylor; she seems to be a walking contradiction. Honestly, how does Taylor tell Lisa to find her a man in one breath and then in the other she starts playing the victim, talking about how she feels guilty dating, etc.? I think it B.S." "Then whom do we hear from again? You guessed it, none other than Taylor, who is so desperate to get some attention on herself that she starts sticking up for Brandi and starts yelling that they are both are single women and need to stick together, and how her husband is dead and she's left with a mountain of finances, etc. . .yada, yada, yada. Who cares??? So over her!" Yolanda: "Dinner at the Moroccan restaurant was another public drama. Kim has a knack for bringing up ultra-sensitive issues at inappropriate times." "Taylor. . .really? Please stop drinking -- it makes you aggressive and it's so unattractive. I am concerned that she has not taken enough time to properly mourn the death of her husband. The alcohol only adds poison to her open wounds. Maybe being home with her beautiful little angel is a better and safer place to get through this tough and unthinkable time of her life." "We keep going back and forth on this whole lawyer situation, here is the deal; Adrienne is using her money to intimidate Brandi with a lawsuit because she does not have the chops or communication skills to work this out like normal people do. As we have previously discussed, and Mauricio tries to point out, Brandi hit below the belt. She was wrong and an apology is in order to Adrienne -- but if she doesn't acknowledge Brandi's phone calls, and surrounds herself with a barrier of lawyers, then this will never get resolved because Brandi does not have the money to defend herself."

Nene confirmed Marlo's appearance, but it's already been public knowledge. Pictures are out of Marlo with the girls at the event where Nene is dressed like Grace Jones. As for a feud with Kandi, I think the real juice would've been from her comments about Kim and her house coming true.

LOL it sounds like the turning point which takes us to the present of Kenya, Cynthia and Nene being friends is beginning to show on screen. Sounds interesting! I've always been on Team!Kenya though. She was 100% in the right the ENTIRE time things blew up with Porsha. The problem with Kenya is that when you piss her off she's going to go bonkers, but she's had good reason so far IMO. New Nene article which mentions Marlo: http://www.realitytea.com/2013/01/13/real-housewives-of-atlanta-star-porsha-stewart-discusses-pre-nups-nene-leakes-at-golden-globes-talks-marlo-hampton/ I didn't see that WWHL episode, but I wonder how Marlo came up and how Andy reacted to that. I want it in the universe that she become a housewife. It's a must IMO.

My laptop is broken so I haven't seen this most recent epsode of BH (or the last two episodes of ATL or the MIA reunion), but I've been keeping up with this thread and Bravotv.com. I need to skip ahead like two more episodes of BH when things get going again. I feel like this Adrienne drama has kinda stopped things a bit and everybody needs to get comfortable so the fur can start flying. I bet the second half of this season is going to be explosive with these new faces fully immersed. Brandi said Yolanda features a lot more in the rest of the season. I look forward to that. VERY excited about Vancouver's return and hope it is as fabulous as season one. I'm debating whether or not I should hold off watching it until ATL or BH ends, because I know Orange County is coming next and that show can never hold my attention for more than half a season. Those first four or five seasons were golden, but the way the show is now (and Too Much Tamra), it's kinda unwatchable for me. Who knows? Maybe this next season will be really solid. We'll see. On a happy note, Purveyor's of Pop announced they're producing season THREE of The Real Housewives of Miami. They were asking people on Twitter to guest the season three cast. I wonder when they'll start filming? March or April is my best guess. I also wonder how things are going over with New Jersey. Lots of rumors and lots of new faces, but it's hard to get a feel of how it truly will be. I can't wait for that show to return.

I still say I'd love to see Rasheeda next season. She could easily replace Porsha for me.

Just looking at her, I bet she'll already have given birth by the time the next season films. We still have a good 3 or 4 months of the show airing and they usually take a break before they start the next season. Maybe they'll give Phaedra a special. Would be a hit as crazy as she gets with her parties.

RHODC was pure politics in terms of it's cancellation. It did very well and obviously repeats well since Bravo constantly is showing season long marathons. RHOM didn't have great ratings, but I think it did it's job of establishing itself well enough that Bravo will renew it. I would expect them to probably dump two and add two. Karent is the likely choice to go because she isn't interesting enough on her own and they'll need someone new to stir up the drama.

I'm Team Ana because I do feel she was the most reasonable throughout the season. She was nice to her friends and made an effort with others. I hate that Lea had to pull an Adrienne and gets lawyers involved so we didn't get to see the reunion as intended. The preview clip showed Ana with an envelope, but Ana said we won't see what's inside now. There was a pretty interesting post on a blog that showed Lea got so worked up over Ana's comments and couldn't defend herself against any of them. Of course it's all edited out so all you see is Ana relentlessly "bullying" Lea. Also, the comment people THOUGHT was about RJ, was in response to one of Lea's blog posts which went on and on about how Ana's daughters don't know how to act in social settings and what potty mouths they had. Of course that was edited too so it looks like she was picking on RJ. This blog also has new quotes from Ana's ex-husband to give perspective on the Lea thing.

I can't wait till Porsha/Phaedra start going at it. Porsha will be eaten alive. I wonder what kind of event they're at that causes Phaedra to say she's a bi polar alcoholic.

I found it very telling that Kordall, Porsha's HUSBAND, was the only one who called her out on her shyt-stirring and he wasn't even there! He knows his wife! And the nerve of her to act like she didn't pressure Kordell into marriage when we know she was just a brokedown video ho and aspiring butt model. I will always be Team Kenya because I truly feel she's done nothing to Porsha and is an easy target because she's over the top. She always makes good points (which everyone seems to miss) that she has made a name for HERSELF and isn't name-checking her husband or her grandfather's legacy. She has her own and it goes beyond Miss USA.

Things like this annoy me. You can't convince me that Jill truly thought Y&R was in such bad shape that she needed to fire pretty much the entire directing team, the music team, wardrobe, etc. Some of these things perhaps, but considering she's cleaning house it seems obvious it's more of an ego thing. She didn't take over Days of Our Lives for heavens sake. Next I'm sure some of the long running writers will go as well. People lie and say Josh Griffith is a Y&R vet, but he wrote under LML and then with MAB and both times the material was panned. That does not a Y&R vet make.
