  1. I found some excerpts from Andy's new book on another board. I want to see you guys guess who some of these entries are about.... lol

    TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2013

    Major Housewives drama offscreen this week. We are replacing several women in two cities. So far its been sad and energizing all at once. Hopefully we are adding life to both series by shaking things up. I spent forty-five minutes on the phone today with one of their husbands who was begging

    for his wifes job back, saying they have no backup plan, and I was telling him he never should have banked on this as his career. I had this same conversation a couple years ago with a (crying, literally) husband from another city and it is not pleasant. I feel horrible for these guys who had careers before the show and then went all-in on their wives reality TV stardom. Let me say this once and for all: bad idea. Reality TV careers arent forever. Then Ramona called upset because I had invited Jill back to play tennis for a scene. Apparently a cast revolt was brewing about her coming back for even one scene. I completely understood her point of view, actually, and we killed the shoot (which necessitated a long follow-up call with Jill).

    Todays Housewife psychodrama involved me on the phone with someone in the throes of being demoted from full Housewife to recurring role. She wanted to be in the opening titles and I had to tell her no. She wanted to be in every episode, and I couldnt guarantee that either. Her husband was on

    the call, of course. At one point he said, We pay our taxes, unlike some of your other non-tax-paying Housewives. Good for you! And apparently theres a former OC Wife in tears fighting her dismissal and Im expecting a call from her any minute.

    MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 (RHOOC Gretchen?)

    I spoke to one of the recently laid-off Housewives today. She isto put it mildlynot pleased about not being asked back to the show, and she wanted me to know that she is a businesswoman and that everything she does is through a business perspective and that she is being punished for being the

    realist (real-est) Housewife. This from a woman with a generous amount of dye and Botox and fillers and all the rest. Apparently everyone tells her that her Q score is very high. I told her that I was working with different data. (People are always telling me about their high Q scores, but I guess if

    people tell you they love you all day everywhere you go, why wouldnt you believe your Q scores would be through the roof?) Shes shocked we dont want to do a spinoff series with her. I told her we need to freshen up the show, and that we have two great new girls ready to come on. And she

    goes, Well, that went so wrong for you with New York. And I told her it actually didnt, and that I would do that again, the season was a success because we refreshed the show. And then she asked why we are keeping Vicki on OC and I said that everyone is separate and I wasnt going to go through each woman and debate their worthiness.

    Met NeNe for tea at the Trump SoHo. She wants to do any variety of talk show. I told her to talk to Lisa before she agrees to go on DWTS.

    FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2014LOS ANGELES

    the RHOBH reunion. I suspected it was going to be long and brutal

    and it was. Two of the Housewives refused to sit next to Carlton because they believed that she had put spells on them, or that somehow she would put a spell on them. So there was last-minute seat

    juggling. Theyd all watched the last five episodes (which havent aired yet) yesterday, so they were lathered up, especially Lisa, who gets a little ganged up on in the finale. She apparently watched them with Tyler PerryTV watching à deux I really would have liked to witness. I went into the day with the hunch that this was going to be the first and last reunion for Joyce and Carlton, and I didnt get the sense they had the same idea. Actually, I am pretty sure Carlton does know and I feel bad for herwe only showed her as a sex-starved Wiccan. In retrospect we couldve fleshed out more aspects of her life. Joyce was a river of words and was bugging the [!@#$%^&*] out of

    Yolanda; as the two of them were going at it my mind turned the corner into morphing this into some other kind of alternate-universe version of the Housewives: Joyce, you are no longer a Housewife. Please leave the reunion. After about seven hours I tried to wrap it up and go into full conflict resolution with Lisa and Brandi, and Lisa and Kyle. (What one thing do you want Lisa to own right now, Kyle? Can you do that, Lisa?) I dont know if it worked but I was trying to make it all better as I saw genuine tears in Brandis and Kyles eyes and hurt in Lisas. During a break near the end, Lisa asked me what I thought of the day and I said, It is clear these girls love you, but she intimated they were only acting that way because they thought they came off badly in the finale. One of the issues here is that in every city, some of the women are simultaneously living their real lives and playing to the audiences perception of them, and that always winds up biting them in the ass. Its worse in this franchise than anywhere else, maybe because its an industry town.

    We wrapped at about 9 p.m.

    THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 2014ATLANTA

    I dont even know how to describe the reunion today. Messy, hows that? Kenya brought a scepter and a bullhorn (I used to love props because Id viewed them as comedy) and she was waving both in Porshas face, and Porsha just snapped. She stood up and got in Kenyas face. I stood to break them up and as soon as I did they somehow wound up on the floor with Porsha pulling Kenyas hair. It was ugly. I was upseteverybody was. My gut reaction was that we had to send Porsha home, and that she was not emotionally ready to handle going back into the verbal firing line with these women. Meanwhile she was worried shed ended her whole career in the course of ten seconds. It was a bad look for the show and the women. Kenya filed a police report against Porsha, and the other women felt that Kenya had it coming because of the props.

    The NeNe one-on-one that aired on Sunday night got 3.5 million viewers. We beat the MTV Movie Awards and NBC and ABC. And all I can think of is that NeNes gonna want to raise her fee.

    SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2014

    I got hammered on Twitter all night for my behavior at the Atlanta reunion. Everyone thought that I caused the fight and was wrong to tell Porsha to apologize. How can the producers and I have had the complete opposite reaction from the viewers to what happened?

    MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2014

    Spent the afternoon at Bravo, where, among other things, we tried to figure out which Atlanta Housewives to bring back from Atlanta Housewives and what to pay them. I am so far not thrilled with the new casting, so we rejected the latest bunch and are going to dig deeper.

    Met Ball Day!

    Naomi came over to me three times in the course of the evening screaming, KEEP PORSHA! DO NOT FIRE HER! I CANT STAND KENYA! wilson passed by and whispered, I was turning the channel last night and saw you with the Black Laaaaaaadies!

    WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2014 (I have a feeling this was Peter for Cynthia)

    On my cell at the dog run, I had the most unbelievable conversation Ive had with a Housewifes husband in my seven years as an EP on the show. For twenty-five minutes he made insane, unrealistic demands and I said no. As I threw a ball to Wacha, I said no to renegotiating his wifes deal while the

    series was airing and no to giving his wife a bonus for her (very low) Q score and finally no tocalling him in a week and letting him know what Im going to do to make his wife feel more loved.

    WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 2014

    The Married to Medicine reunion was actually painless and enjoyable, partly because it was set up like a tea party and there were (real) cakes and pastries littering the table, so I spent all day putting

    my finger on the top of cupcakes and eating little dabs of frosting, which in retrospect is gross. Plus I cant imagine how fat I will be tomorrow. Dr. Heavenly kept saying she had a craving for crab legs, which tickled me for some reason.

    FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014SAG HARBOR

    Bethenny made me lunch at her houseshe has Skinnygirl products for

    everything, its amazing. She wanted to pitch me doing Bethenny Starting Over, but I had my own ideas, and turned the discussion into the (seemingly insane at first but makes sense the longer you talk about it) idea of her coming back to RHONY; and I cant believe it, but I think it worked. I made a lot of compelling arguments (good money, ensemble show, she knows what shes getting into, it would certainly be a success ratings-wise vs. this season). She is seriously considering it, and I left feeling upbeat. It would be huge for that show to get her back. Huge!!!

    THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2014LOS ANGELES

    While I was reuniting the OC Hens the drama wasnt contained to the soundstageduring the breaks I kept turning on my phone to incoming hysterics coming at me from all cities. Teresa has a crisis

    manager who seems to bring on a fair amount of crisis herself. Plus two of the NY ladies are mad at me. The reunion was solid. Well get two parts out of it. Tamra goes off the rails at the reunion. Heather was thoughtful and deliberate. Lizzie left crying. I felt horrible for her.

    TUESDAY, JULY 29, 2014

    Woke up to a big article in the NY Post entitled Real Boring: How the Housewives Franchise Spiraled into Dullsvilleproclaim ing that the whole goose is cooked. Not a fun read. I, of course, disagree, but we have work to do in a few cities. We rebooted Jersey this season because there was

    an overwhelming outcry from viewers for new women and new stories, but now ratings are down and theres an outcry to bring the old women back. So, um What to do?

  2. That was a good episode. I love Yolanda but in that clip they showed Yo was kissing Lisa's ass hard.

    Kyle is forever pressed about Lisa's friendship. I honestly don't know why. I like Lisa but she's shown that she does not need her as a friend and will walk away with no f-cks given.

    I got annoyed when Kim's obnoxious ass showed up. I truly didn't notice her absence.

    Camille was the only enjoyable return. Blech to TayShanna and Adrienne.

  3. I don't care if she's broke or not. I'm just pointing it out. At least unlike Kenya she's not pretending by renting out a 1 million dollar house or something so I can respect her for that at least.

    And yes this episode is very nice. Love Camille...her dress on WWHL is amazing!

    That house is not $1 million. :lol: She's in Georgia that's probably $350k at best and all of them are renting except Kandi.
  4. He's a damn hypocrite if true. The first to pass judgement and talk down to people for their behavior and look at this mess?

    STAYS telling Black Americans how they should conduct themselves. I hope one day Lisa Bonet spills ALL.
  5. Selling crack?WTF? :blink:

    Him having a successful television show doesn't excuse him from being a rapist pig. If true he should go to prison but time and Hollywood will protect him.

    I seriously question this.

    Most of the people who are talking about this are people who believe the women claiming to be his victims. I don't think it's about knocking Bill Cosby off a pedestal.

    I don't know how I feel, because it's mostly accusations and denials.

    I will say that I find it questionable that Whoopi Goldberg is using her TV platform to cast doubts on his accusers. Unfortunately she's gone to bat for so many celebrities who have done awful things that she's made herself a poor character witness.

    Honestly f-ck Whoopi. She toes the line and says whatever TPTB wants her to say in regards to some of these stars. The only time I agreed with her was Michael Jackson as he was cleared after two thorough FBI investigations and the media had no problem labeling him a molestor.
  6. Tonight's episode was so good. I have a feeling this will be the show's best season yet.

    I love how Kenya was vindicated tonight. Don't know why anyone would believe the fraudulent Nidas.

    Cynthia is a f-cking riot. She is going to gather Porsha's life next week and I am here for it.

    LOL at Claudia checking her purse to make sure her social security card was still there after sitting next to Apollo.

  7. Exactly. Kyle hasn't been relevant since her season 1 fight with Camille and her "You're a liar and sick and an alcoholic!" to Kim. She's certainly not the main draw for this show: she isn't the star and she never has been. Her tagline infers that she has a private plane and yacht, and we know that isn't true. She lives in that mediocre house in that part of Bel Air that's a heck of a lot closer to Sherman Oaks than it is to Beverly Hills, a stone's throw from Robin Strasser's house, and has some McMansion in La Quinta on a golf course in the middle of nowhere. Kyle and Kim are the kind of housewives that could be dropped and you'd never notice they weren't there.

    The ether.
  8. I was referring to what the bitch was doing inbetween seasons - a whole lotta nothing. RHOA check must not be too good since she doesn't even have furniture in half her house.

    She's producing a pilot for a sitcom entitled Life Twirls On. She posted casting descriptions and notices. She will also be starring in it.

  9. 6.7 HH rating 3.0 demo ...2weeks ago

    5.9 HH rating...2.7 demo this week.....

    ummmm...how is that an increase??

    You said they have declined every week since they premiered which is not a fact. The episode I was referring to was the one that aired on October 23. It increased from a 2.8 Demo to a 3.0 and about 200k in viewers.

    http://www.spottedratings.com/2014/09/spotvault-how-to-get-away-with-murder.html

    They also increased on November 6, and according to the overnights increased again last night. I am sure ratings will spike even further for the winter finale.

  10. Just caught up. Jax is almost 40 and is still a waiter. I have no idea why any woman would want a serious relationship with him. And judging by the tragic penis print in the photo below he doesn't even have THAT going for him. :mellow:

  11. Mister Eric, do you recall what Jersey's numbers have been since the finale episode? :)

    Lost Footage Part 1: 1.7 million

    Reunion Part 1: 2.2 million

    Reunion Part 2: 1.3 million (lowest rated NJ telecast ever)

    Reunion Part 3: 1.6 million

    I am sure Lost Footage Part 2 will be the new lowest rated telecast but that's to be expected.

  12. Nene's makeup on WWHL was pure drag. The contouring of the nose, the two obvious shades on the cheeks. Yikes. That, along with her lips and wig was straight up RuPaul.

    Wow, the RHONJ reunion became such an afterthought. Part 2 on Thursday, Part 3 on Tuesday? I still have to catch up. Is there a "Part 2" of Secrets Revealed coming up, or did we already see that?

    It airs November 20 I think.
  13. I don't know why Kenya's running her mouth when it's pretty much common knowledge at this point that everyone on CA hated her, and that she got fired for stealing Vivica Fox's phone and tweeting stupid junior high level [!@#$%^&*]. Also should be noted that she was fired BEFORE Brandi. So why is she talking about somebody needing penicillin, when she herself needs ProActiv, lithium, and a real dick to screw instead of the invisible African one she's trying to pretend she's got stashed away somewhere.

    You are a f-cking mess! :lol: :lol: :lol:
