I was terrified this ish was gonna happen once I saw how lackluster the trailer was. Especially after New York was so good (at least for me overall). And yeah I'd tell VH1 to scrap all of em but they're probably doing well in ratings so I doubt Mona is gonna get off that pony anytime soon.

Sad but probably true. Still can't believe Kandi would do some shady sh*t like that.

These ladies are tripping over each other in a race to be the most nasty and say the nastiest sh*t on television. Even Joseline annoyed me with the way she questioned whether or not Steebie had slept with Benzino's whore. I mean is it THAT hard to just ask "Did you have sex with her?". Instead ole girl has to get all graphic and eveything....sorry guys I can be a prude sometimes about these things... Meanwhile you've got purple hair K Michelle wannabe acting a hot mess and saying the most ridiculous things just to get airtime for her and her husband who I don't give a damn about. I'd rather have "Popcorn Hos" Traci back than watch this nasty fake mess. I don't even remember what the hell happened in the Saga of Mimi the Porn Star. I'm just over it. At the end of the last episode Rahsheeda claimed she needed "time" to think about her situation with Kirk and yet in the very next episode they've already hit the sheets and banged...just when you think this stupid woman couldn't sink no lower. It's sad but Erica is the only one I have any sort of respect for and that's just by default....

It really is. I was reading the app last night and I was like "WTF" are they smoking? He looks nothing like Brad...even at Brad Pitt's worst days (long redneck/hillbilly hair days) he was still millions of miles ahead of this guy as far as looks are concerned. Politico is supposed to politics focused but lately they've been veering into such random territory and some of their supposedly impartial writers can barely contain their glee as they're writing about one subject or another. I know they have opinion writers as well but there is one in particular who isn't an opinion writer that is blatantly conservative.

Just googled Berdych....Jesus is all I have to say....if he's married his wife is one lucky lady. 6'5 too....kill me now. I love guys who are even taller than I am! Happy that Andy Murray dominated his first match at Wimbledon! Wish I could watch it but between World Cup and all the stuff I'm dealing with it's just not an option right now.

That's the core of my argument so I think we're basically on the same page. All things being equal BH has become the more important franchise to Bravo (from what I can tell just looking at it as a viewer) and NY has been relatively weak compared to the other shows (except for Miami). So from a ratings standpoint and investment standpoint I would think that Bravo probably wouldn't want to spend the extra money to do the third part. I might be wrong and I might be right. Just offering my thoughts on the subject for what they're worth. Luann's little fake act of being upset with Sonja and her coocoo nail lady was pretty funny to me. Esp considering all the rumors that have been said about her over the years re her first marriage and now Jac.

True but BH was until last season one their powerhouse franchises so they probably were hoping for something big to happen at it. Or maybe felt they had to do it for that franchise. New York has been floundering for a while now so I guess I just assume he's not going to stretch it out too long since it will cost money. I'd like to see 3 parts but I'm preparing myself for just two. The last episode was really good though despite the lack of any major drama. I like seeing the ladies together and doing fun things.

I highly doubt that will happen. When it's all said and done Luann wasn't a Housewife and Andy's not gonna just have her sit out there because she just happened to be in a lot of episodes. Besides it's her own fault (if the stories are to be believed). She hasn't really been involved or the main focal point of any of the major storylines (I'll grant you that there really hasn't been many major ones aside from Bookgate). She's only mildly interesting now that people such as Jill, Alex, and Bethanny are no longer there to suck up the attention and airtime that they would deserve based on their antics. The best she can hope for is that she's out on the couch for 1 part of what I'm sure will be a 2 Part Reunion cuz I doubt there's going to be enough drama to require 3 parts....and then maybe next year she'll get her Apple back.

Case in point is her interview with the Guardian (whom I've despised since learning about Glenn Greenwalds existence there). Clinton's statements though weren't that smart. I hope she gets it together.

Marlo hasn't put herself out there as unstable? Have you not seen her blow ups over the last few seasons? She's a disaster waiting to happen. Her behavior at the Bailey Bowl was just more proof of how she can go from zero to 100 in a heart beat. Her little incident with Sheree was a big deal but I think most people were able to get past that. All I'm saying is that if she's on the show then I won't be surprised if things get ugly really quick. I have nothing against her being on the show and she has amazing style. But her teaming up with Kenya is not a good luck IMO.

All last week proved is how utterly pissed off the press is about the thought/possibility that Clinton is going to run in 2016. It's absolutely driving them INSANE. That interview with the NPR lady was not a big deal. She simply called out the shady lady on her stupid question and her insinuations. That's all. And yet she was attacked as being "tense" or some other bs word that they would have NEVER applied if it were Chris Christie in the SAME exact interview. It's absolutely ridiculous. The moment I saw Morning Joe talking about it as if she had lashed out and killed Terri Gross or whatever the NPR lady's name is I just KNEW they were being completely fake. The only mess up she made was saying they were "dead broke" (even thought it was technically TRUE). Another problem is that she mentioned that they had houses...as in plural. Most average American's can barely afford the one house. So aside from that I thought her book roll out was fine and I was really happy to see the crowds coming out to see her. But at the same time the Press was absolutely out of control last week and it just serves as a reminder that her campaign needs to be ready and vigilant to protect her from them at all costs.

You know you're failing when Aviva makes you look absolutely terrible in a confrontation. Kristen has to be gone after this fail season attempt lol. It's just pathetic at this time. And God watching her and her husband is just painful. Does she really think this is going to last? The guy is so horrible as a husband. Almost as bad as what's her face from New Jerson who has Richard Goldman/Goldberg as a husband...Kathy right? Guy doesn't even want to hang out with his own children and wants to go to The Hamptons! So sad....

I love how clueless these HBO writers are in the HuffingtonPost article...its like "Uhh we never discussed it". LMAO Yeah Ser Barristan was really robbed these season.

Lisa is locked and loaded for this season. I hope the b*tch brings the HEAT on this fake witches. And Kenya/Marlo/Cynthia reeks of desperation and weakness. The only strong one out of that group is Marlo and she's borderline unstable so I wouldn't exactly call that a trinity of greatness. We all know how weak and passive Cynthia is. Interesting that they've already started shooting. It feels so recent that the reunion was aired.

The problem is that even though Season 4 has this rap as being toxic people were clearly watching and when you eliminate like half the damn cast of course the audience is going to doubt it will ever be as entertaining or as exciting again. Personally 4 was nuts but I still loved it from a television standpoint. If I were on the show I probably would have lost my mind but just being a watcher I was absolutely hooked. To go from that to quiet Carole, semi quiet Heather who wants to gangsta, and just under the surface Aviva was too much a drop. I'm dreading the "Leg Incident" cuz quietly I fear Ramona is somehow behind it lol.....but then again it could just as easily be drunk Sonja playing a dumb trick. Who knows at this point.

How tragic...omg. I hope the daughters weren't there for the whole thing. That's just terrible and for it to be so sudden has got to be gut wrenching for the family. Hardly any time to say good or any of the things on your mind/heart.

I don't usually go for Indian guys but damn that pec bounce is just wrong Eric....

I was happy to see Dodger finally stand up to Patrick today. I really hope this guy is gone by the end of the year. I can't handle this Maxine storyline anymore and his manipulation is getting to be too much.

Did Oshea grab for the money she brought to their little confrontation? What a b*tch if so....he looked so pathetic. I don't even know why he agreed to this cuz no woman in their right mind could ever respect him after this.

OH Erica who you foolin you'd be back with Scrappy in a heart beat if the boy opened the door! Niko and Mimi make me feel dumber by the minute....

Like most of the reviews have noted (and you and I have talked about this elsewhere) Jon and the Wall is/has been kind of an afterthought for me throughout most of the book series and even worse on the show. It's hard to really feel connected to them sometimes given how little time it seems we spend on them. In short I do remember that Jon did something special for her in the books but I don't remember if it was a private funeral or not. He does mourn her tho and continues to remember her (at least into Book 5). That being said I thought the actress who played her was hilarious during the first season she appeared and her funeral (plus Kit Harrington's acting) really got to me. I'm with you on Dany and her babies. When I was reading it for the first time in the books I couldn't believe it. That she felt compelled to do that and actually went through with it. There's only two MAJOR scene I'm looking forward to for Dany next year and I really hope HBO pulls out all the stops for it when the time arrives... The Hound is who Brienne fought. The Mountain was "killed" by the Red Viper. And I agree with you that the fight by itself was very well done and very visceral. The overall need for it was lacking and I felt like it was just thrown in there and it felt very unrealistic. Instead of HBO showing countless scenes in the brothel or numerous useless scenes of Cersei with Jaime that never happened in the books they could have provided that back story with said time. The Bronn/Jaime scenes barely added anything to this season. If anything the show did a good job of showing how much Jaime cares for Tyrion so having that scene in there would have made a lot of sense and added to the pain and frustration that Tyrion as a character would have felt when he saw Shae and then encountered his father (who was behind the whole lie about his first wife to begin with). I will miss Charles Dance though. Completely owned the role of Tywin Lannister. From the very first scene he had with Jaime while cutting up that animal (a cow I believe) to the very end.

I think my problem is that the ambiguity of it all was what made the character and the actor so great. Charles Dance sometimes came across in certain scenes as if he knew but since it wasn't spoken out loud it wasn't true. Then in other instances it seemed like he had absolutely no idea. And for me the way the show just decides to plant the flag down on something that is meant to be ambiguous (or at least is so in the books) cheapens it for me. And given how important the throne is to Tywin (and even to Cersei) I just found the whole thing unbelievable. Arya was amazing last night though. I wish they had had her say "You don't deserve the gift of mercy". The last scene with The Hound tho was very powerful as it was made clear how he was saying all those terrible nasty things about the butcher's boy and Sansa only to goad her into killing him quickly. Dany and the dragons.... Her's is the one story that destroys me and only because I love the idea of dragons and her being their mother. I honestly don't know if I'd do what she did. I know you're just not starting on the books DRW50 but I'll be curious what you're reaction is to the events of Book 5 and the ramifications of her actions re Rhaegal and Viserion.

It had its moments but overall it sucked mostly for book reasons. Once again they totally made up stuff/added in things that make no sense while eliminating crucial scenes and dialogue that would made moments more justifiable and understandable.... The Hound & Brienne fight while never happening in the books was pretty brutal and amazing but stepping away from it I see that it was just there to provide the "audience" with more shock, gore, and violence. It served no plot purpose except for Arya to escape the Hound which could have been accomplished in a million ways. The Kings Landing stuff was just laughable. Everything from Cersei admitting the incest to Tywin to Tywin pretending like he didn't believe her (are we supposed to believe that a smart man like that would just ignore the bombshell his daughter just dropped on him?). Then not 2 seconds later Cersei and Jaime are getting it on in yet another public area after she's told him that she confessed the incest to their father? Then of course Tyrion who the show goes out of their way to make sympathetic when in truth he's half a monster. The whole "Shae attacking Tyrion" thing was just dumb. They left out the scene between Jaime and Tyrion and the Tywin death scene was a let down. I can't remember anything else except for Stannis arriving which was pretty good from a visual perspective. OH Jojen....I'd care more about him dying prematurely but it's so minor compared to the rest of the screw ups. Not sure how this was a better episode than any of the previous ones aside from being longer.

LOL....oh this is priceless

Porsha is dumb but she's gonna turn up next season and I'm glad she wasn't fired for stupid fake Kenya's butt. That would have been totally unfair. I wonder how many parts the NYC reunion will be? I'd be shocked if he does 3....but I guess it depends on how much drama we still have left in the season...
