Kyle's a pretty good actress. It took me about a season and 1/2 to realize that she has a serious mean girl side. I'm on episode 12 of season 1 and it's becoming clear to me that her nasty scenes aren't just an aberration. I don't consider her straight up evil though. At times she cuts through the nonsense in a productive way. She seemed to have Cedric's number from jump and warned Lisa, for example.

Faye has such an odd face. Sometimes she looks downright beautiful and then other times, it's like she's a whole other person.

Why do you think this? That would be something else if it's true and it came out on the show. I feel like the only safe marriage is Lisa/Ken and that's because Ken is a dependent, cuddly little house cat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Once you start watching a show like this...Shame goes right out the window.

I believe it. I think it's very possible to want a character you dislike to be on this sort of show. These shows need [!@#$%^&*] starters. They also need the sane reasonable people like Lisa, imo. Lisa is really a wonderful character because she manages to be smart, sane, reasonable, funny and catty all at once. At the same time, she is one of the people who really stepped up when Taylor was in trouble. Taylor misunderstood (maybe purposely, maybe not) Lisa's intent when she offered to open her home to her. I'll always respect Lisa for doing that, even if she wasn't quite as gentle about it as she might have been.

When do we find out the official cast list for BH next season? As long as HBIC Lisa is on, I'm good. Still, I'm really curious about who else is on board.

If she hadn't stood around watching the Walkers attack The Gov, maybe she would have made it to the prison. I hate it when characters do that kind of thing.

That was a good promo. A nice look at Mance and the dragons. I only wish these promos had come out a month or two ago. I think that would have built up anticipation better.

Yes. I'm starting to really get excited for season three. Just two more weeks to wait.

I'll look forward to seeing that, once I've caught up. I'm almost at the end of season 1. I agree with JP on not wanting to see too much of the younger children. I don't mind so much on Atlanta because those women don't seem as fundamentally damaged to me as the BH's ladies. That $60,000 party that Taylor threw for her 4 year old was so hard to watch and that was before I knew how things turned out for Russel and Taylor. That child seemed like a unhappy little prop in that episode. Lisa was dead right that child would have been happier with some pin the tail on the donkey, cupcakes and her own friends. Instead it was all about Taylor impressing other people with money she didn't really have, in a house she was pretending to own. Just sad.

Yeah, it was the kid's music teacher. Maybe he'll sue all these ladies. I would love to know what Kathy Hilton thinks of her sisters doing this show. She almost has to hate it. Wish I could be a fly on that wall.

I think she looks pretty decent for a 40 something mother of 4. Of course, she can't compete with Camille and Taylor, but how many people can?

I'm watching ATL and BH and it's so odd to me that the BH drama seems much more organic at this point. I love all of the Atlanta ladies, but the drama seems contrived. On BH, you can tell some of these woman have real issues.

Watching season 1, episode 3 of Beverly Hills. Lisa is fabulous. I feel really bad for Kim. She seems so closed off and damaged. She doesn't even seem to realize she's pushing people away. Adrianne (Sp?) seems totally over her husband, while he is still into her.

I'm obsessed with the Atlanta show. I'm on episode 8 of season 2 and Kandi is a freaking musical genius! Anyone who could take that original "Don't Be Tardy" song into something commands my respect. Hell, anyone who could make Kim sound decent is just all kinds of amazing. Plus Kandi was so nice and supportive. I don't know if Kim really cheated her, but if so, she should be ashamed. Kandi just made Kim's dream come true and held her hand while doing it. I was happy for Kim getting her moment. I just wish I didn't know this was going to end in a law suit.

Here's an EW photo shoot. Emilia and Kit look good together. http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20470532_20681692,00.html

What makes you think so? I don't think she's so great she could have her pick of rich guys by any stretch. There are lots of younger, hotter girls out there with less baggage. Would she date him if he were only pulling in $100,000 a year? I don't think so. To me, being a gold digger is not an insult. Let's be real. Would Kroy date her if she were 45 and 300 lbs? Everyone gets what they want in this type of hook up. I do think she loves him, but that doesn't mean it wasn't primarily about money and status at the start.

I agree, but once she got him she was smart to seal the deal with two kids. She's got the gold digging thing down cold.

I like her. I think she is fake in many ways. I suspect she's way smarter than she pretends for example. I think her face looks sort of off because of surgery, but hell, that's her business. I haven't seen all the seasons yet, so I'm still forming my opinions, but I do wonder why Sheree turned on her. I haven't heard a concrete reason other than accusations of lies. I'm on season 2, episode 4. Oh, and I wish to God NeNe had kept that longer brown/blonde hair. The shorter hair aged her. Then when she goes all blonde, just no.

As a woman with naturally large breasts, I do not understand why anyone would do that to themselves on purpose, unless they are working a stripper pole and their earning potential depends on it. It's absolute hell on the back, never mind the clothing issues. I think this show actually needs Phaedra even though she didn't have a lot going on this year. She's funny and she has a big personality. Even though I'd chose Kandi and Porsha as friends, they aren't that fun to watch. Kim is gone and Nene seems like she has one foot out the door, so they need Kenya and Phaedra to bring some drama and humor to this show.

There's a sucker born every minute! In episode 1 Kim let it be know that she's all about the money and she still managed to hook Troy. I can understand why Big Poppa went for her, but I don't understand Kroy. I actually like Kim, in the sense that I find her entertaining, but she is fake from head to toe. She also looks really weird to me, although I can't put my finger on it. At times she looks really good and then other times she just looks weird. She is close to being really pretty, but isn't actually.

I'm watching season 1 of Atlanta. I happened on the current season and that made me want to watch from the start. I like NeNe, Kendra and Kim the best so far. Actually, my ultimate favorite is Kenya's aunt. I wish she had more scenes. I have mixed feelings about Phaedra. I like she has a good sense of humor. Like Kim, she's really all about money though, so it's hard for me to root for her the way I do the women who are struggling with their personal lives.

If Rick or the group gives up Micchone then I think they deserve whatever The Governor dished out to them. It pisses me off that Rick is even seriously considering it.

Good article. Thanks for posting.
