I agree. I enjoy GH but I have no illusions about what they’re doing. From the moment she was announced I knew not to hope for more than we get. Like you said, she’s a psycho day player and will be gone soon. Same with speculating who actors will play. You know it’ll be random so why mention all these logical choices that make sense for the characters? I just go with the ride.

Please watch these ridiculous interviews! Lisa Rinna is insane to me. She said that after their episode one sit down she thought her issues with Garcelle were resolved. She said Garcelle talks behind her back all season and didn’t tell her they had an issue. Did y’all not see episode 2?! She’s lying! She even said in her confessional that she was happy Garcelle was honest with her! Then Dorit says that she gets into it with Garcelle and that Garcelle is the fakest person in the cast. What?! I feel like these girls must be banding together to come against her because it doesn’t wash with what we’ve seen. Rinna has also been liking racist tweets saying Garcelle is pulling the race card. I’m not liking what I’m seeing. My eyes will be on Rinna and Dorit this season!

Debbie Allen has said they've tried to do it, but Bill Cosby won't allow his name to be taken off and nobody wants to touch a reboot that says "Created by Bill Cosby." I wonder if they couldn't just put that in the end credits where it isn't noticeable. I do agree this show is overdue for a reboot.

I think it's DVR and streaming too. I noticed Bravo now has the episodes on their app with commercials. That's additional revenue, as well as when they post on YouTube. I don't often look at the delayed ratings because their harder to find for cable, but I did see some a while back and for example, Salt Lake City was averaging 1.2 million viewers and Married To Medicine (which gets 700,000-800,000 live) was averaging 1 million. That explains why SLC got that early renewal and was labeled a hit by Bravo. On the flip side, RHOC is on hiatus so obviously despite averaging 1 million in live viewers, they likely dropped a lot in delayed viewing and streaming which is why Bravo has the show on hiatus. I personally think RHOA, RHONY and RHOBH are all going to be fine once delayed viewing is factored in. The live ratings aren't *that* bad and the seasons are entertaining so I can't imagine why people would be tuning out in droves.

This is spot on. Leah should be confident in being herself on camera. That would probably be enough. It’s hard to imagine considering 5 episodes usually takes *at least* a month of filming in other shows, but the first 5 episodes will literally take place during the first two weeks of filming for RHONY. So this Hamptons trip is only week two and Leah is trying so hard. If she would chill and be herself she’d be fine. In other news, RHOBH premiere ratings are out! They debuted lower than RHONY.

This was a good episode, but it proved this needs to be Leah’s last season. She just doesn’t fit in and nobody seems to care enough to even fight with her. She is truly useless. Also, did y’all see Leah seething when Eboni was getting along with Heather?! I feel like that’s also why she went off on Ramona. Leah is not Eboni’s friend. You can tell she resents that Eboni fits in. In contrast, Heather fit right in and that felt like classic RHONY. Like Eboni said, they had their fight and moved on. I was also happy to see Eboni comment that Heather is actually asking about her life. Heather seamlessly slipped in there and one thing I do love is that she does seem genuinely interested in the ladies and their lives. I mean who else would take a Sonja Morgan toaster oven seriously? We also got to see shades of old school hateful Luann. I cannot wait to see her with Eboni next week. I believe this was episode 4 and so much has happened. Not only that, but we’re about to be on episode 5 which is still in the Hamptons. This is better than they’re given credit for. To keep taking one day of filming and getting a full episode out of it is very impressive. I don’t think people realize just how many days of filming it takes or one episode on some of these other shows. The vets have a certain magic on RHONY.

She’s there bc people recognized her name. Her acting hasn’t even been good on GH. I hope she doesn’t steal the aware from more deserving people in her category. I’d give it to Cady. On Twitter people are mad GH has so many noms and the Bell soaps don’t, but GH really knocked it out of the park last year so I’m not surprised. The Bell soaps were so painfully slow and boring that they’re lucky to have gotten any nominations.

It makes me sad that Leah ran her off because Heather fits in *so* well. I’m also glad they gave her confessionals so she can flesh her brief story out. We were so robbed! I feel like this return is going to be amazing. Heather isn’t afraid of conflict and she’s going to give us fireworks while she’s around!

This looks good! I loved that moment with Wendy and Gizelle. It was so obvious that she was only friends with Wendy as a way to isolate Monique. Not surprised it has blown up. Also not surprised that Candiace is still…Candiace. She’s the only one I’m not looking forward to. Excited to see Queen Karen and Ashley as well! Im very curious about the other newbie. Twitter is saying that she is very strong and almost was moved up to full time. I love that we didn’t see her which means lots of hopefully juicy stuff they aren’t showing us! Im excited for a season that isn’t completely spoiled like last year.

The Sean tribute was excellent, but why just a tribute? Why is the show so afraid of their history on a day-to-day basis? We all complain when a new actor comes on and would be perfect as a legacy character connected to the current cast, but they always make it a newbie with a confusing backstory. Sometimes less is more and they have a rich history to mine as this showed. Also, it shouldn’t take a tribute to use these vets in meaningful ways. I’m not saying they need to be on all the time, but be smart about it. When you do have them, give them something meaningful to do.

Is Claudia dropping hints? @Taoboi@Cheap21

I know it’s popular to dislike LVP, but as a dog lover this looks really good! I already have Peacock so I’ll watch.

On the subject of Leah, she basically tells people what they want to hear. For years she wrote for The Federalist which is as Republican as it gets and she voted third party in 2020, which IMO is what some republicans did who didn’t want the stain of voting for Trump, but don’t support democrats. In RHOD news, the rumored newbie Toni was out with some friends, including Claudia Jordan who we know interviewed last season. Imagine how great it would be if we had a cast that looked like this, plus D’Andra and Tiffany.

RHONJ I know everybody hates these shorter seasons, but this season has been flawless and this reunion? My god! This was one of the best reunions I've ever seen. It wasn't super dark, but it had a steady flow of drama and this cast has good chemistry. The only person I do think they could afford to lose is Jackie, but I'm okay with her staying. I'm glad they're getting down to the obvious which is that the rumor came from Margaret. Her husband completely gave that away, because how could he know that and not her? I hope they tear her ass up next week! RHOBH This was a strong premiere that did a great job of setting things up and also delivering a high level of shade. This felt like RHOBH at it's best. They finally have a cast with chemistry that works. The MVP was Garcelle. She wasn't the only one, but it cannot be stated enough how she carried this premiere. She was in almost every scene! People were mad she missed a few events last season, but it seems like she's very involved and in control! Crystal had a nice introduction and seems like she'll easily fit in. I didn't know what to expect of her considering she's younger, but she's definitely not intimidated or afraid. I feel Kyle and Rinna will have the least to offer this season, but they didn't bother me. Also LOVED seeing Sutton with a diamond and title card.

Yes I do believe that final trip got canceled because someone got COVID, but nobody would admit to it publicly so we will see if it’s revealed in the show. The trailer shows parts of the main cast trip in Salem. That’s when Bershan/Sonja have that fight where Sonja breaks the glass.

We haven’t even hit a full week of Eboni filming though. So it could be she’s working this stuff out now and trying to move forward. From the trailer we know that she felt a relief when Bershan joined because she said she didn’t wanna feel like she had to educate them.

See this doesn’t surprise me. New York isn’t like some cities where you film and film and can’t use the footage. They always deliver. Ramona said this season is going to be longer than last year. Also the Hamptons is just *one* trip. So much of the trailer is coming just from this one trip. I bet production loves working with these ladies. They make the job easy for them. ETA: LMAO! Like I said, Melissa picked the wrong one!

ABC Passed On Pilots Not Inclusive Enough: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/dana-walden-says-abc-passed-on-pilots-for-not-being-inclusive-enough-4165849/ I mention this article because we know daytime soaps have a history of being lily white and ignoring their large black audience in particular. Hopefully the Pine Valley reboot is serious about featuring the Santos and Hubbard clans in a substantial way because if not, she’s making it clear she’s not going to be picking up non-diverse shows. Four out of the five shows ABC picked up have a majority black cast. AMC has the legacy and enough name minority actors to make this work. We just have to hope they don’t have that daytime mindset of keeping the black people in the background.

@CatIm going to keep Melissa in my prayers because Jennifer is the last woman she should want to mess with. Jennifer can tear these women up with ease. Melissa needs to chill and keep collecting her allowance for being Teresa’s sister in law. My thing is, I don’t think Heather is innocent, nor do I think Heather is the type to deny what she said. Heather can hold her own. My issue is that none of it has anything to do with Leah and she’s not mentioning stuff in context. It’s so obvious now that all the pre show press about Heather came from Leah. She’s doing damage control because she knows she came off bad. I have never liked Leah’s Anti-Me Too, Trump supporting racist ass so I’ll admit I’m biased, but I cannot stand her. She is so phony and such a hypocrite IMO. I think what we’re seeing with Sonja is a flashback to when she was having money problems with that movie lawsuit. It’s always money that gets her like this and in feelings about the past. This is also coming off her losing that Century 21 deal so she may have lost money from that. I do know that she’s closed a new deal with Walmart, but we could be seeing her worrying about her finances in the current episodes. The one big mystery for me though is why she is so mad at Luann and Ramona. Even on WWHL she said she’s not speaking to them. It’s so random! All in all I will say: After three episodes, New York is officially back. I feel like from here on out we’re good. Eboni has been introduced and is comfortable being open and frank with the ladies and with Heather we will have a sixth woman. Once she leaves we’ll have Bershan so that will continue to help for those who feel five wives aren’t enough. I have faith in these ladies!

RHONY I find it funny that we hear Leah call Heather a Karen in the trailer, but isn’t that how SHE is acting? She’s judging everybody and trying so hard to have a problem with somebody that she’s the one coming off like a Debbie Downer. The look on Eboni’s face as she ruined the winery trip going in on Ramona was everything! The reason nobody is backing you up is because nobody cares! Chill out and have a good time! Other than Leah killing the mood I did enjoy this episode. I enjoy Ramona and Eboni getting along and Sonja was amazing! I don’t know what is going on with her, but she’s giving me life this season.

Woooow! Garcelle is the first woman on this show to make Rinna nervous! She *knows* what she did was dark and wrong and I love that Garcelle held her feet to the fire. Like she said, how does Garcelle know she wouldn’t turn on her like that? Garcelle is about to give us everything we want! I can feel it!

This is why I don't like Leah. I HATE when Housewives manufacture stories and that is 100% what this is. Let's be real: Leah has no storyline. She's faking this converting to Judaism thing to have a story, now she's pushing this thing with Heather to produce additional story. The other ladies all have interesting things to follow. Sonja has her money issues and feuds, Ramona is literally giving them gold with her massive Hampton's home as a filming location, Luann has a BF and Eboni has stuff going on. Leah is just trying to stay relevant. The stuff with Heather has NOTHING to do with her and if it needs to be brought up, it needs to be brought up by Luann, Sonja or Ramona in order for it to be interesting. Now I'm not sure how it'll go, but you can't convince me I'll side with Leah on this. Remember last year the cast photo was leaked like 5 months before they even announced the season.

Okay season three is excellent, but I am FURIOUS with some of these doctors! I'll start with Dr. Greene. He's been going through a life crisis since his wife left him in season two and now with Dr. Lewis gone, he is taking it out on everybody. First, I hated how he reacted when he snooped and found out Jeannie was HIV positive. For a doctor he came off very ignorant and he gave no thought to how she felt. Even when she was forced to reveal her diagnosis with everybody he still didn't apologize, even though she did to him. I am absolutely disgusted with him right now and am going to need him to get it together! Now he's sleeping with a nurse that I'm sure he will dog out soon enough. SMH! Next, Carter and Benton! We already know how tough Dr. Benton can be, but the way he's treated Dr. Gant has been appalling. I get tough love and as a black man I understand we do have to work harder than others, but it feels like he is just searching for a reason to tear Dr. Gant down. Carter is annoying because he's friends with Gant and basically got sick of hearing him complain and pulled away from him. When Dr. Gant went to upper management, Carter lied about what happened to protect Benton and of course this led to Dr. Gant committing suicide. I will say that was a huge shock for me. In retrospect you could see how it happened, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to happen the way it did. Even after his death you have Carter lying about how moods so it isn't ruled a suicide. I feel like he did that to protect HIS feelings and guilt. I'm very disappointed in him! Now a doctor who has done a complete turnaround is Dr. Ross. You can tell since Carol's suicide attempt in season one, he's made a major effort to be a better person. I've loved seeing a very young Kirsten Dunst in a recurring role of a runaway teen that he has been helping. It's been nice seeing less of Dr. Ross' romantic life and more of him supporting his patients and coworkers. I'm beginning to fall in love with him. My Queen Dr. Weaver has had a more low key season, but I continue to love her. They really needed someone like her who is logical and there to do a job. She's one of the only people who doesn't let her personal feelings or life get in the way of her job.

I didn't even realize Sasha and Brando were dating like that. It is confusing to have her get pregnant when both characters could disappear and you wouldn't notice.

Or you could read the thread. The preview is just a few posts back and is too big to miss.
