Shannon lost me tonight. She's the one that needs to go. She's in Nene territory where she's blind with anger and nothing will convince her otherwise, and it's not a cute look. The way she berated Tamra for not coming to her defense with Lydia. Girl bye. At least Tamra and Vicki seem to be flexible and willing to chat things out. Peggy is a beautiful dud. You can tell the other girls try to involve her and then instantly regret it when they do because she makes no sense.

Didn't Kathryn live in San Diego? Seemed like they found her late and brought her in because of the OJ thing, but otherwise, I can't imagine they'd all deal with her commute/living situation, right?

I just caught up on OC and Dallas this week. I've gotta give some love to Dallas - this season is so much better. D'Andra is one of the best new housewives to join any city in a long time. Brandi, Stephanie and Cary were on WWHL and even Andy said this season is so entertaining to him - and the ladies did a great job interacting with him. Even though ratings aren't there, I'm hopeful they get picked up for season 3. Andy seemed to really enjoy them. They showed a preview for OC and it looks pretty juicy - Shannon, Vicki and Tamra go head to head and Shannon/Vicki look like they're about to duke it out. Andy was visibly annoyed twice with the show though - so you can tell something is going to happen next season. Andy said he's going to go nuts if another housewife accuses another husband of being gay, so it doesn't look good for Vicki. Reunions should be interesting.

Speaking of Miami, Lisa is under fire and Joanna is putting her on blast: https://www.aol.com/article/entertainment/2017/09/12/real-housewives-star-slammed-for-private-plane-photo/23206509/

Check out this NJ news... cast wants Danielle to be edited out of this season due to racist remarks she's made in the past few years. http://www.tmz.com/2017/09/10/rhonj-danielle-staub-racist-rant/

Ironically, Dallas is the most enjoyable series on Bravo right now. I've always thought Brandi was trashy, but the last two episodes have made me feel for her... with the miscarriage and feud with Stephanie. This season is really entertaining so far. OC - Lydia, bless your heart. That "drag" of yours I find myself rooting for Meghan this season, and I see why she earned her spot back as a full-time housewife. This season is really dragging. Next week's looks good with Gretchen and Lizzie, but it still doesn't bring the cast together from what I can tell. I'm IG friends with all of them and there's no sign of the two side coming together, so obviously something has to give next year.

I agree - I warmed up to Tinsley and it helps that she ended the season with a boyfriend, being Carole's friend and moving away from Sonja. Tinsley deserves a second season more than Kristen ever did. Tinsley was featured quite a bit on the reunion too, she could hold her own; she wasn't a dud.

If you all watch Flipping Out and/or like Jeff Lewis, here is a funny read on his take of the OC this season, along with his ongoing feud with Heather: http://www.realitytea.com/2017/08/29/jeff-lewis-thinks-vicki-gunvalson-leave-real-housewives-ramona-singer-not-good-person-doesnt-believe-heather-dubrow-left-tv-spend-time-kids/ His thoughts on Peggy are spot on - I 100% agree.

Chris and Jaq are in more trouble: http://www.nj.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/08/real_housewives_stars_business_files_for_bankruptc.html

Wait, Danielle isn't a main housewife? WTF, such a lost opportunity. Danielle was much more integral and monumental to early NJ than Sheree was to early Atlanta... unless she's just turned boring AF, she needs to be brought back in full-time vs. a slow build as FOH. This series continues to annoy me.

Ohhh, Dallas was good y'all! Much better than I was expecting. It definitely feels like a housewives show this season. It's giving me a blend of New Jersey (all the flashbacks, receipts, texts, and Leanne has always reminded me of Danielle Staub)... OC (Kameron totally reminds me of a blonde Heather, and Stephanie/Brandi seem like Vicki/Tamra at times with their friendship)....and Atlanta (the southern charm). Brandi looks rode hard and put up wet... something is going on beyond this Stephanie feud. Is it drugs, stress, or what? She's one step away from a breakdown. Crazy Leanne is back and I love it. I love the two new housewives - Kameron and D'Andra. They are great additions and bring a rich, fresh breath of air to this show. So far, I could watch D'Andra's mom all day long. I hope the ratings go up, they deserve a new chance. OC ratings have been down this season, but steady throughout. NYC was steady throughout and actually matched last year's ratings, which were up from the previous few seasons. BH ratings have been slightly down the last couple of seasons, but pretty close to OC/NYC. Potomac clearly took a hit once Atlanta ended, but managed to stay above 1M viewers. Bravo has been renewing shows that have matched Dallas' numbers, so we'll see... I think the +3 days numbers are also a good indicator, so we'll see how Dallas fairs there. NYC and OC usually get a big jump on the +3's. Also - I still think they're representing Dallas fairly. I live in Austin, but I've lived in Houston and have visited Dallas many, many times. I have friends all over Texas. While Dallas does have diversity, they still have a STRONG 'white pretentious' stereotype. If this were Houston, then I'd have a problem because that city is much more diverse. Married to Medicine Houston really got their casting right to match the vibe and culture of the city.

OMG that picture Tinsley gave to Sonja That was funny. Sonja really sucked all episode until the very end... she complained all season about Tinsley not thanking her... and then was completely rude that entire party. I love to hate Sonja - sometimes she's terrible and sometimes she's so needed for this show. I'm hoping now that Bethanny's divorce is final, she can be happier next season and not be such a b!tch to everyone. I know she still has to deal with Jason and custody over their daughter though...

NYC Reunion will be 3 parts. I agree it doesn't look super explosive, but apparently enough for 3 episodes. Sonja and Luann should switch spots though. I think NYC is the only franchise that never brings out guests/husbands/boyfriends... am I right? I wonder if the finale tonight will tell us about Luann/Tom divorcing... I know the reunion was shot beforehand, but finale is now airing just after the news. I love that the promo has the same music in the background as their initial promo for the season... really was great.

The Dallas taglines are ok. Leeane and Cary have the best. Not sure why Brandi used the "I was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader" bit again... I do like the Dallas intro music though. The stars they're holding look better / not as gimmicky this season.

Thanks, WTGH! That gives me hope re: NJ! If you scroll down on Sidney's FB account, you'll see she wrote basically the same thing 2 years ago. There are some saying it was written by Simon or someone else... who knows, but the whole thing is sad. Tamra responded to that post on FB.

Has there been any word on New Jersey? I feel like they stopped filming LONG ago. The last few seasons have debuted in July... looks like we'll be waiting longer than a year this go around. I wonder if there wasn't enough drama, so they're really working on editing? I can't imagine there being much drama if Teresa and Danielle are getting along, Teresa and Melissa are getting along, Jac is gone, and we keep drama-free Dolores and Siggy? If they wait too much longer, we'll be bumping into Atlanta and BH's November time... and having New Jersey added to the mix seems like potential overkill? Maybe they'll slide BH into the new year?

I can't believe they were going to make Roman testify on stage that Joanna has an amazing-smelling pu$$y.

Nene posted another pic today on IG with Marlo and Cynthia, calling them her girls, etc etc. Nene and Marlo are totally a team right now. Nene and Porsha apparently made up during the Napa trip, so they're 'cordial' for now it seems. Who knows though - Nene's relationships are never consistent.

Bravo website lists all the housewives you mention above except Stephanie and Ariana, so I'm guessing that's not really them (and I don't know the Toronto housewives, so I'm guessing if that's really her, Bravo isn't mentioning her since they haven't aired Toronto?). I doubt the Atlanta girls were there... they've been in San Francisco all week and now in Napa drinking wine. I follow them all on IG. Marlo is with them, so I'm guessing she's playing a larger part this season.

OMG Kelly Dodd She came into that restaurant blitzed and she knew exactly what she was doing... Her face in the window at the end of the episode I like Peggy, but she was a dud at that dinner... she needs to loosen up and gain some confidence.

Just saw the OC episode. Peggy is beautiful - the hair is everything. Lydia is kind of annoying me by trying so hard to insert herself into the mix and force these ladies to get along - it doesn't work that quickly and you weren't there for 4 years. Brianna left that party so quickly that it was almost pointless to show it since nothing happened. NYC - Ramona is my girl, but she annoyed the F out of me tonight until she got with drunk Lu at the end. Their room situation is out of control and i can't believe that took up 3/4 of the episode. Carol looked the best she's ever looked in this episode - her hair was gorgeous throughout.

I wonder if this will change anything with RHOC and RHOBH? http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/mgm-real-housewives-vanderpump-rules-evolution-media-1202498870/ Also, Kim officially announced she'll be returning to RHOA - "More than a friend, less than a full-time housewife".... sounds like she'll be around much more during the last half of the season, now that Don't Be Tardy finished filming. http://www.eonline.com/news/867652/kim-zolciak-biermann-returning-to-the-real-housewives-of-atlanta

More about Luann/Tom's marriage falling apart... http://www.eonline.com/news/867323/real-housewives-of-new-york-city-s-luann-d-agostino-is-fighting-to-save-her-marriage

OMG Luann So funny. Also, Bethenny needs to seriously lighten up. I'm about finished with her. I'm Team Ramona when it comes to this sh!t. Bethenny can dish it all day long, but can't take it.

Was Season 6 the year they went to Montana? That may have been the most boring trip ever. That season, however, did have some amazing and/or significant moments: Bookgate with Aviva and Carole, Sonja's dog memorial where the ashes flew back over all the ladies, the first housewives crossover with BH's Yolanda and Brandi, and Ramona throwing a glass at Kristin and busting her lip.
