Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
The feud seems clearly Adrienne's fault. She created these issues and has kept them going, not only with her horrible behavior at the reunion, but now inviting everyone except Lisa to Las Vegas, then playing the victim when she didn't get the Villa Blanca invite. SHE needs to apologize, but she wants to sweep everything under the rug and end up on top. Plus she's suing Brandi which I don't like. To quote the fabulous Yolanda, "Who is Adrienne Maloof in this world?" Absolutely nobody. A joke. Adrienne, Kyle and Taylor do nothing for me.

There were rumors in the press that get into a physical fight, but that hasn't even been hinted in any previews and it doesn't seem in character for those two. Whatever the reason for Kim's exit, we should know soon. Porsha premieres in the third episode, so I predict Kim's story will be over within two or three episodes. I think the plan for Kim is to have her spin-off and she'll be back full time next season. ETA: Just finished BH and I LOVED Kathy. She was so sweet and actually worked well with Kim. They had a more interesting relationship than Kyle/Kim, which has always seemed more negative. I wish Kathy were a full time wife so I could see how she handles Kyle. Kyle is such a nasty piece of work for me. Brandi's house didn't bother me. She seemed kinda embarrassed when Lisa came, but at least she has a nice house and is living within her means, even with the show and what it could demand. She came off really well in the premiere. So did Yolanda. She was so sweet and has a beautiful accent.

Lisa explained in her blog that she is still not speaking to Adrianne because Adrianne never contacted her to mend fences. Adrianne came off VERY poorly during that reunion and it was her fault so she should've apologized. Let's not forget, she only backed down from attacking Lisa once Lisa said her claims were slanderous. She wasn't genuine then and she isn't now. Lisa said she spoke to Kyle and they mended fences off screen. Adrianne also had a party in Las Vegas the week before filming began and invited everyone EXCEPT Lisa. Considering all of that, why would she invite Adrianne? Makes no sense. Unfortunately my laptop has been in the hospital so I haven't seen the most recent ATL, BH or MIA episodes, but hopefully today I can watch them so I can get back to dishing with you guys!

Hollyoaks: Discussion Thread
Once again I'm trying to watch the show and like last year, I decided to start with Hollyoaks Later and the same week of the main show. So far I've made it through one episode of each and it was painfully bad. The worst I've ever seen it. It's possible this was an off episode, but dayum. And what was up with all the music on Hollyoaks Later? I understand they were trying to be artistic, but that was painful and came off very amatuerish. I'm going to try and survive this week, but the show is HORRIFIC from the looks of it.

They reused Taylor's tagline from the original screeners for season two. They changed it after Russell died as it seened insensitive. I'm surprised they brought it back. It does fit her though, a total famewhore and grifter.

I didn't even notice Portia wasn't in that opening LOL! I wonder how things would be if they could've convinced Toya Wright to join the cast. She was offered a spot, but turned them down because unlike her shows on vh1 & BET, she wouldn't have any control over how she's portrayed. Of all of Kandi's friends, I think Rasheeda would've been a better fit on this show with her family issues. She sticks out on Love and Hip Hop, but I think she'd be more interesting as a housewife.

I can't wait to see tonights Miami episode! Last week Joanna said that Elsa was "a fcuking devil bitch, burn in hell" and Elsa wasn't even there! I wonder how she will treat Elsa since they're in a scene together this week. She is a sick woman. I can't wait to see how far she continues to go.

LOL I love 4Minute, but she sucked in Wonder Girls, especially compared to Yoobin. I think the current Wonder Girls lineup is the most perfect one. And LOL at me completely missing your earlier Wonder Girls post! IDK how I missed that! ON ANOTHER NOTE: Someone tell me this isn't perfection!

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I'll start with the bad--Joanna. You KNOW something is wrong when Marta is the voice of reason and is telling you that you're acting crazy lol! I LOVE Marta, but I expected to Love Joanna and hate Marta. Joanna is very immature for 33, which she proved in the way of handling Marysol's fur. She should've tried to have a conversation with Marysol and explain how she feels and hope to change her mind, not attack her for wearing it. That's going to make a person defensive and NOT want to change. Plus, what the HELL does Elsa have to do with it and why is Joanna calling her the devil? She's a vile woman! Then the fight with Adriana was also Joanna's fault. I found Adriana and Karent's conversation completely calm, even when Adriana pulled out the article. It only escalated when Joanna and Ramain got involved. Plus when Adrianna walked away, Joanna grabbed her arm and was STILL holding it when she got slapped. She deserved to get slapped AND beat down with that broom. Now onto the other ladies... Marysol has been an ABSOLUTE delight this season. Her scenes are light-hearted and fun and I don't get a mean spirited vibe from her. I find her work scenes interesting when we get them as well. I just want MORE Marysol. Lea is entertaining and I love her personality, but I'm not a fan of James/Elaine. He serves his purpose, but Lea will need to dump him soon enough. Lisa is a bit dumb, but she's endearing and entertaining. My only complaint is that she looks shockingly old for a 29 year old. She'd be perfection if she didn't mess up her face. I wonder how she's going to look by the time she's really 40. Now onto Karent, the ultimate [!@#$%^&*] stirrer. I LOVE HER! She's a hot mess. She drops these bombs with various people, then smiles and keeps it moving and I LOVE that. She won't admit it, but I think she knows what she's doing and is having fun with it. I like that about her. I can't wait for her reunion performance.

How yall gonna have a K-Pop thread and not mention the Wonder Girls?! They are perfection! I hated HyunA in the group though and was so happy when Yoobin replaced her.

Miami tonight (well the entire two part episode) was better than any water down Posche fashion show! That was entertaining on so many different levels. So much actually happened unlike that Teresa pileup with the boring Stripper-gate. Instead of texting people they won't reveal and talking in code or accusing people of things we didn't see--Miami brought the drama. Plus it wasn't too dark. We had some comedy, sex appeal and lots of entertainment! I hope the ratings go up. I can't wait to see gifs from this episode. Joanna is a total trashbox lol. I love her!

Basketball Wives on VH1
Based on what you've heard maybe, but that's not a reality of what really happens. One of the most refreshing aspects of Basketball Wives: LA is that they DO show their personal lives and have storylines that involve more than "He said she said" and meeting for drinks like the Miami version. We get to see all of the housewives in their homes, neighborhoods, Malaysia with her childhood friend Bambi, Draya's family (including the son she was arrested for neglecting), Jackie's family, Brooke's kids & dates with Brooke's man. Plus we've seen quite a bit with Matt and Gloria in their house.\ I'm not saying there aren't major problems with the show, but it's simply untrue to say they don't show enough of their lives. The only ones at fault are the producers for not doing a better job at casting and shaping the show.

Basketball Wives on VH1
I'm not sure I believe that article (because the reasoning is untrue), but I do think the producers of this franchise are dumb. To address the problems with violence the fire the three women who were repeatedly attacked. Now they claim those women are being fired on LA because they aren't showing their lives, but that isn't true either. Gloria and Laura being sisters is a bigger family connection than most of these shows have. I do think Gloria is dull and can be fired, but Laura has been a total drama queen. Plus, Brooke has shown (in every episode) her boyfriend AND her kids, something VERY rare for this show. Plus she's brought the drama and sex appeal. I do think LA started off boring this season, but it's picked up and is actually interesting. The ratings spiked with the Draya/Jackie fight and I'm sure the next episode with Brooke and Jackie fighting will pull good ratings.

Karent is such a [!@#$%^&*] stirrer, but I find her brand of drama entertaining. And I LOVE that she does it with a smile, which obviously infuriates the ladies even more.

Regardless of anything, Kim is a full housewife and will be getting probably the largest salary after Nene. Plus she has the money from her spin-off show. I think we'll see Kim a lot, but just not with the other women at events as much. Or things like the international trip and I can't blame her. She has four kids to take care of and as a mother I think we've seen her doing a good job. There is nothing wrong with putting them first, even if it means being fired from this show.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I don't think Kim did anything wrong. She filmed throughout her pregnancy with Kroy Jr, but that was her first child in over 10 years. Obviously if they're getting evicted, they don't have as much money as we thought. Plus she's not speaking to her parents so those are two free babysitters gone. She's an older woman with a toddler, then gets pregnant again, so who could blame her for not filming? That's A LOT on her plate. Especially with a husband out of state for extended periods of time. I think the other women were probably hating because of her spin-off. Don't hate, we all know Nene and Kim are who made this show what it is. They've ALWAYS been the breakout stars.

That promo was perfect! Looks like it'll be a better season than the garbage we got from New Jersey. I can't wait! Kenya seems NUTS!
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I agree. This season has been good for Miami. Yes it started a bit slow, like NYC they were basically introducing an entire new show, but I thought it picked up fast and has been one of my favorite seasons of any series. I LOVED Adrianna's like to Karent about going to her office and pulling her patients teeth lol. There is something about Adrianna that I love. She's a perfect housewife. I would love to see her on NYC or Beverly Hills. She would eat those women alive.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I believe t hat episode saved Beverly Hills. It launched after DC, but it couldn't match DC's ratings and had around a 1.2 million for the first few episodes, then it obviously exploded. That was a nice success story. Speaking of exploding, the preview for the second half of Miami's season looked really good. Lots of action which wasn't featured in the first trailer.

Kelly needs to stay gone. I don't think anyone wants to see her, but Alex and Jill I would bring back. I'm sure at least one of the new housewives won't want to come back.

Danielle, Teresa, Melissa, Caroline and two new housewives could work.

Miami is moving to Sunday's, at least for one night and we have a new ATL special. I believe they're promoting this because it's the big slap episode with Joanna and Adrianna. I wonder if RHOM will still air on the previous thursday, the 25th.
-
Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I do think a big reason this season started poorly in the ratings is due to 1) The boring first few episodes & 2) The fact that it launched when two series were airing and doing so well at that time. Same reason Miami is lost in Thursdays, but that show is worse off because it's new and doesn't have an existing following. I don't think RHONY suffered because of what happened last season. I think if they had truly brought it viewers would've tuned in. RHONJ will be the one to watch next year. I really feel they need to be even more retooled than New York in order to remain viable. Next season the HWs need to have actual storylines instead of this Everyone vs Teresa. I don't even wanna see Teresa plus 1/2 friends vs the others. I need new storylines. New fueds. A good mix of things. That show has always been so single minded. Season One - That damn book and everything was leading towards that table flip. Season Two - Everyone against Danielle Season Three & Four - The downfall of Teresa Beyond those main storylines everything is filler. I need more than that.

Well I think everybody dresses in clothes that they like and think makes them look good, I still find her personal style bland for a designer. Her clothes just look dated, cheap and inappropriate for her age. Her bathing suits are RIDICULOUS. I think Jill was right here. The ratings started really low and they only sparked with the St. Barth's episodes, but never reached what they were getting last season. They didn't have one episode over 2 million. I don't think it was a HUGE failure, but it wasn't a clear success. I think this season did it's job of retooling the series, but now that it's stable they need to bring it next year.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I think Heather, for a designer and a stylist looked terrible the entire season and at the reunion. Her style is either tacky or forgettable. Aviva may have bad skin, look 60 and be a bitch, but she has a banging body and knows how to dress it. Same for the other ladies mostly. I think Ramona and Heather were the worst in terms of fashion. I found Jill's return interview interesting. She shed light on some of the behind the scenes things that go on, but she did seem a bit delusional. I don't know what happened to her after season two, but she needs to blame herself. She's come off poorly far too much to blame Bravo or Bethenny. She even made it clear how hard she pushed for storylines. Like she said, she has an interesting family to feature so she didn't need to create a feud with Bethenny. We already know they tried to get Alex back for season five when filming started poorly so I don't think a return for Jill was out of the question. I DO think that she probably blew it based on this interview with Andy. I would love to see Alex on WWHL again, in a regular setting, not a one-on-one interview. I could see her successfully working her way back in and playing the game the right way. Silex has already been on once since getting fired.
