Looks like Bershan truly is a friend. She’s filming with Leah and Luann now and Ramona posted them filming a couple weeks back. Looks like a solid cast of 5 with Heather and Bershan as friends. I like that Eboni won’t be the only black woman so she won’t be too isolated. Also, it’s looking a lot like Eboni and Ramona are getting along. They’re all over each other’s social media. I’m happy for Ramona lol. I didn’t want her to have a Kelly Dodd downfall. She’s a buffoon but I do think she’s harmless.

Do you happen to have a link to this?

Honestly this is smart. RHONY and RHONJ have both had to take a year off for other reasons and I think this will help them put space between the drama and poor reception of the previous season. I’d start filming Summer 2021 with a refreshed cast and go from there.

Bravo did that! I knew to pick a random ass city like Salt Lake City it had to be good because who would’ve thought of that? This reminded me of when Atlanta premiered and was just fire from episode one. This felt like it’s own thing and didn’t feel redundant or copy cat. Now of course I must start with Queen Mary! She is giving me Nene Leakes with this busted makeup and these Party City wigs! She also got Marlo’s grammar and the aloofness of Miss Ramona Singer. I love her! The way she went in about this hospital smell laid me tf out! Of all the things to start a feud over! My other two favorites surprised me and they were Meredith and Heather. I loved the way Meredith spoke which was kinda snooty but she seems nice and I liked her family. Her husband it seems will be drama, but they will be fun to watch. Heather i expected to be in the background, but she’s more fun and vocal that I expected and she seems comfortable in her own skin. I like her. Whitney is fine, but I don’t have much to say about her yet. I need to see how her relationships develop with the women. Lisa you can tell is going to be a stuck up bitch and that fast food was ridiculous. When you’re that rich you can do better. I’m not saying never, but girl come on. You could get takeout from any restaurant for your family. The big question mark for ME is Jen. I know she’s been the more visible one in the lead up, but she seems thirsty. I didn’t mind her too much, but it’s a hunch I have so I’m going to have to watch her ass for a few weeks before I decide if I like her. ETA: RHOP in person reunion day! I’ll admit I’m beyond ready for the season to end. The girls have taken this fight story too far and I’m sick of it. I look forward to the reunion moving things forward hopefully.

Gizelle wants Robyn to have her back and she DID! I would want my friend to be real with me. Robyn would be being fake if she just openly accepted Jamal’s return. And let’s not act like Gizelle didn’t have a lot to say about Juan.

That doesn’t make me feel better about Erika’s long term place on the show. I guess it depends what kinda settlement she gets. I’m wondering if this is why she has been so quiet and not spotted filming. Perhaps she really will only be a friend. Or maybe she’ll use this to secure her Diamond. I don’t see how she gets by another year though. She has nobody to film with. If Sutton can’t get a diamond because she can’t film with her kids, how do you justify keeping Erika who has no family to film with? I’m hoping Sutton’s 18 year old films with her and helps her secure her diamond.

@Taoboi I’m the lone wolf. I hated season 3 of Dallas but loved season 4 so I’m excited for once. New York I feel always delivers so I’m not worried about them either. The one I worry for is Beverly Hills. They seem to always be trying so hard to be interesting I’m hoping it’s not another overproduced season. Hopefully the lack of international travel and public events forced them to be more real. Bravo is wrong for posting this.

Chile Texas has been pretty much open the entire time so I would expect a very similar Dallas season. They still do a couple trips and you’ll see them at restaurants. The biggest change will be more house parties than events in public spaces. New York I’m curious how they will handle filming in the city. That seems like the worst place to film when you need to social distance. I’m also curious where they will go for their cast trip. I’d love a return to Montana and also Heather’s Berkshires house if she truly is back.

@Taoboi One thing that worries me though is that Tanya is knee deep in the scandal, but she confirmed she quit the show so I wonder if she’ll do the reunion or WWHL to give her side of the story. This is why they should’ve secured a peach for her so she’d HAVE to film.

ATL never lets us down even if it’s not a standout season. I feel like this will watchable, but I think people aren’t enthusiastic because they didn’t really give us much to be excited about. You don’t have a big new housewife or multiple housewives joining so it just feels flat. Now that doesn’t mean it WILL be flat, but we have to wait and see. What I will say, Atlanta is FULL of stars and other reality shows get big people so why can’t ATL? I think what they truly need is a new production company. For their next season they need a Garcelle and a Sutton. A big name and someone with money and lifestyle (perhaps Falynn will bring the lifestyle). They just always seem so underwhelming with their casting.

Now that Marlo has kids I think she could work as a HW. At the very least since we know she’s paid like one, I wish they’d still give her solo scenes even if she doesn’t truly hold a peach. People made Drew out to be boring as hell, but from the trailer it looks like she was doing a little something. Now it makes more sense why she always had a peach. In general though, I do think ATL needs to step up their casting. They need to start looking EARLY and add someone truly dynamic like a Garcelle or Sutton. These “okay” housewives aren’t going to cut it.

Okay it looks watchable, but personally I would’ve given Marlo that long awaited peach. Still most excited for Salt Lake City and Dallas!

Mary’s tag line is ICONIC! Those are overall a good bunch of tag lines. As for the RHOA delay, I’m wondering if that’s due to their constant pass the peach. Remember Tammy was a full time HW with Kim Fields and due to that Miami trip she got cut. We know that things have been shifting with this big cast so I wonder if they’re changing stuff around.

People didn’t say friend so I’m wondering if she might be able to snag a diamond in the end. I just hate that Kathy is joining at a time Kim isn’t on. Based on what we know, this is the most boring time in the past 10 years they could’ve added her. Imagine Kathy in seasons 2-3 or season 5! That would’ve been New Jersey levels of fire. It seems like Kathy and Kyle are getting along fine now so we will see what she brings. I just hope we get some La Toya Jackson sightings. Kathy and La Toya had excellent chemistry on Life with La Toya. The one thing I do love about the upcoming season of Beverly Hills is that it looks like it won’t all be spoiled before we see it. The newbie isn’t directly in the spotlight which I think will give her that Sutton allure where we have to wait and see. I don’t want to know everything beforehand which is draining by the time the show airs. This is another reason New York always work. We never know what they have going on and we don’t need to!

@Taoboi I hope this ATL trailer drops ASAP. We know bits here and there but I’m still confused about the main focus because we don’t know the cast. So far on both trips you have the core four plus Marlo, Tanya (well only first trip for her), Shamea, Faylynn and Latoya. With 9 women I'm curious who has peaches, who is an official friend and who is just a guest. I want that cast photo more than I do a trailer lol.

I don’t know if anybody still follows Cheshire, but Dawn has been arrested for racially harassing two people and possession of cocaine! Couldn’t happen to a nastier person! Here is Ampika talking about how she quit bc of Dawn’s racist attacks: Article on the arrest: https://www.ok.co.uk/celebrity-news/dawn-ward-court-charged-breaking-22909409

Eboni also posted a pictures of the cast on her story and included Heather as a cast member. It’s looking more and more likely that she is back.

I wonder who tested positive! Eboni mentioned she did have Covid a few months ago. Of course everybody is going to think it’s Ramona lol. If it isn’t Ramona, you know she is going to go after whoever did get it since everybody accused her of being irresponsible. Glad they are safe though! So far the only show we know of where nobody tested positive is ATL which is ironic considering that city hasn’t shut down at all. Jennifer on RHONJ, Shannon on OC and now a mystery girl on RHONY. If you want, you could also include Dawn from Cheshire, but they filmed around her and didn’t shut down filming.

Heather always felt like a leader who could keep the group together. Whereas Carole filled the Greek chorus voice that we lost with Bethenny, Heather was the legit business woman who had money and could keep Ramona in line. I could see her benefitting then in that regard this upcoming season. I also see her working well with Leah and Eboni.

If RHONY returns with Eboni as a new housewife AND Holla Heather with an apple I will never complain about New York again! Now I know it’s probably just some guest slots, but seeing her there at the beginning of filming has me hopeful.

I just finished part one of RHOD’s season 4 reunion and this is one of my favorite seasons of housewives! I think the reason I enjoy the Kary/Leanne feud so much is because they simply don’t like each other. Nobody is trying to destroy someone’s family and it isn’t as dark (until Thailand) as most recent housewives feud. I *love* a random feud like this. Kandi/Nene, Heather/Ramona, Bethenny/Kelly and Gizelle/Monique are other examples where they just don’t like each other, but it isn’t super heavy and dark. Overall this season I feel like everybody earned their paycheck and they mostly kept a good balance of fun and drama. Now Thailand? Lord! The hardest thing about this is that interviews are filmed months later and even before she said the racist statements, she’s in her talking heads *still* making comments like that. How could she still not understand that wasn’t okay? And she truly doesn’t seem sorry. She doubles down and makes excuses so much that it is cringeworthy! With that said, I did enjoy what she brought to the season overall, but she did need to go.

I just finished Leanne’s wedding on RHOD and I felt like watching Sheila Carter finally find happiness lol. Also side note: Tiffany appeared via flashback asking Rich to marry Leanne and of course she’s front row as one of her closest friends. I wonder why they dumped her. I thought she was great in season one. In general, the cast was perfect I thought. I get adding people, but they didn’t need to dump anybody. I loved seeing some of Leanne’s family after hearing her speak of them so much. It was especially dramatic and soapy wondering if he’d mother would show up considering their relationship. This was a total fairy tale soap villainess wedding! It’s crazy how much of a soap RHOD truly is. I find it so iconic that she did a five hour break between the wedding and reception and went to eat at SONIC knowing damn well there was no food at this reception! One thing I look forward to seeing in season five is Katy’s relationship with her husband. He seems perfectly reasonable and she’s so dismissive of him. For someone dependent on her husband for money that seems crazy! I wonder if they’ll still be fighting because they seem headed for divorce.

@chrisml Oh I absolutely think Tamra/Vicki being gone is why the ratings are down. No I don’t think Bravo was wrong to get rid of them, but you can’t get rid of your stars and not properly replace them. Right now the cast is full of D list housewives who they can’t really use to promote the show.

@Cat Those ratings are similar to like RHOP and higher than Dallas, but for OC it’s bad. Those shows are a lot less expensive as well. Typically OC averages around 1.5 million per episode and often is neck and neck with Dallas. If they keep dropping it won’t be good for them, especially as an aging and expensive franchise. OC was always that show that despite the heavy salaries of some cast members, they didn’t have to heavily promote it and it still did really well in the ratings. It was like a reliable hit for Bravo.

I came here to talk Dallas, but just wanted to let y’all know RHOC’s ratings are sinking like a stone! Will be interesting to see if they rebound. It’s down 400,000 total viewers and .20 in the demo. Emily has also confirmed only 13-14 episodes max and Shannon said she barely filmed anything so hopefully this season can pass pretty quick and they can focus on a revamp. Now onto what I came here for, I just finished episode 7 of RHOD and I regret waiting so long to watch! I know many don’t seem to like Kary, but I’m totally in love with her. Maybe I’m enjoying this season more because I’ve always disliked Leanne and everybody is so over her. I actually think Kary is completely in the right in their feud. She gave Leanne a chance as first, but after her constant disrespect in Dallas it seems she gave up on her. I like that compared to the other ladies letting Leanne gaslight them since season one. I also feel like this season is moving fast. There is so much going on and so many little conflicts that keep it going. The Jabot story with the company being broke, Kary vs Leanne, D’Andra vs Leanne, Kameron vs Brandi/Stephanie. I also don’t miss Cary’s boring ass who tried her hardest to stay relevant last season. This season has me completely pumped for season 5! I feel the best of the cast is returning and with two newbies (potentially 3 depending on how much they feature the black woman who filmed) it’ll give them enough of a revamp that they have potential to soar.
