I'd say Luann's role is very much like Marysol's role in Miami S3... technically a friend of the housewives, but had just as much screentime as the actual housewives. I watched the NYC episode and I'm sort of on Ramona's side with the wine throwing. It was a friendly toss of wine on someone who was in a spa... it washes off and she playfully did it for the cameras... it wasn't malicious and it wasn't like they were at a cocktail party in dresses (i.e. Tamra). I didn't see how it was a big deal. Same with next week - looks like Kristen gets them wet and Ramona pours her drink on her again while she's in water. I'm curious to see if she throws the whole glass and makes her bleed (which is too much), or if she just throws the actual wine and Kristen gets hurt another way.

I disagree - Vicki and Tamra just want to have fun with Heather... yet all Heather has done this year is one-up them or prove to them how wrong they are... it's annoying and I see why Vicki and Tamra are getting irritated. Also, it wasn't Heather's place to talk to Eddie about children like that, when Tamra was crying and confiding in her.

Honestly, Nene seemed so fake to me during DWTS - at least during the live shows. She plastered on that fake smile the entire time... when Erin asked her anything, her responses were fake and rude. OC: I'm so in love with Shannon. I've never seen a new housewife be so totally natural and comfortable in front of cameras so quickly, while not giving two shits. She's also a drunken mess when she needs to be and I love it. I do fear that she'll have a rough Season 2, and I do see her relationship being the next Simon/Tamra. I'm over Heather... she does have some terrible stick up her ass this year. Even Terry is annoying me. I'm team Tamra/Vicki/Shannon right now! I'm loving this season already and there's only 4 housewives!!! Also, this season seems way more polished... similar to Miami, BH, and NYC. The production values went up, they bought better cameras, and the whole thing looks 'richer' to me than in the past.

Go 'head Kenya!!! Love that girl.

Did y'all see the article the other day about Theresa's case? Due to the timing, they may have to delay the NJ premiere date. Currently, Theresa wouldn't be able to do press events, interviews, etc. to generate buzz about the premiere...

^Ok, good point... she did try to remove herself from the situation and was followed. Makes sense. Yes!!! Shannon is perfect so far. I already can't wait for her second season just to see how she reacts to her first season - does she filter herself and strategize or not? I'm also looking forward to her WWHL appearance, assuming Andy has her on.

I finally caught up on my housewives last night... OC: I may be in the minority, but I'm really loving Shannon. She's a natural on camera and she's neurotic and ready to snap. Makes for great TV!!! And that poor husband of hers, who btw is quite attractive. I said it before, but Shannon really reminds me of Marysol in looks and somewhat personality. Vicki continues to be one of my favorites housewives ever... she is a total nut and perfect for this show. I love her antics. Heather and Terry both are starting annoy me. I see what Tamra and Vicki are talking about here... I couldn't stand it either. NYC: Team Heather! Love that bitch. And her husband! Aviva is nuts in a wonderful way. I loved her crazy commentary on what certain people ask after having babies. Her face was priceless. Ramona is always fun to watch - she's crazy. I worry about Sonja though... she's a mess.

Chris B --- Boy, you had me the entire time until the end... why do you think it was ok for Adriana to slap Joanna? Sorry, the quote function isn't working... but that was supposed to be a direct reply to your original post about fighting is not acceptable and you have to draw the line or pay the consequences, etc.

Does anyone else think Shannon looks a little bit like Marysol? The forehead and eyes... Lydia is pregnant, per Vicki on WWHL. Lisa is mixing it up with the Melbourne ladies... after all the Melbourne talk and now THIS, I might just have to watch: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2610871/Lisa-Vanderpump-calls-support-Real-Housewives-Of-Melbourne-star-Gina-Liano.html

LOL - I love Kenya. First, she's right with that statement. Second, once she busted out the Israeli combat training and taking someone down in 3 moves... I live for this girl. Again - Cynthia has a heart of gold.

Did we ever address why Nene forcefully covered Porsha's mouth when she was lying on the ground crying and screaming? What was Nene trying to cover up here?

First - poor Cynthia! She has a heart of gold and always looks SPOT on... and then she gets put in the middle of Kenya and Porsha's fight, and Porsha exposes her boobs! Kenya is a goddess and so much smarter than Porsha. Team Kenya!!! Nene looked like a bloated rhino on that couch - she was stank the entire time and I couldn't stand her face. She's not doing herself any favors.

OC got a new opening!!! They still have enough of the original elements in there, so I'm thrilled! Heather looks FIERCE in her shot. Really love it. Tamra's tagline is way too short though and it makes for awkward silence in her family montage...

Surprising turn of events? I wonder if Andy tells her she's no longer a housewife... ?

There are a ton of cameras at Taylor's wedding... is she on another show??

Taylor (BH) also got married... looks like she's totally moved on... http://t.entertainment.msn.com/taylor-armstrong-marries-john-bluher-all-the-wedding-details?toc=tv#image=1

NYC: I missed Ramona not being there for Luann's first scene - would love to see where those two are right now in their relationship. I love having Luann back - she's always been a favorite of mine. Amanda is trying way too hard. She looks like she belongs on NJ as another wannabe trying to create conflict. She even looks like that other NJ supporting character - the realtor. I really love this season of NYC so far - LOVE! Oh, and Heather's husband is hot as hell - a little short - but hot as hell. He may have replaced Mario for me as hottest househusband.

I agree with y'all - NYC is on fire! Love this season and all these ladies. I also can't wait for Luann - I've always had a thing for her.

NYC ratings went up this week... yay!!! REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC BRVO 9:00 PM 1437 0.6

Kenya is going to work hard on Apprentice - she'll want to go further than Nene and she'll work her ass off. Brandi looks overwhelmed and I don't know that she has many connections to pull through and give her money on these challenges.

I will say that Lisa handled herself well given her situation... but Ken's grumpy ass acted like a pissy bitch. I sort of understood Yolanda's take on his attitude... although at the end when she told him to butt out of their 'girls conversation' - that was ridiculous because she, along with Lisa and Brandi, butted into Ken and Mauricio's conversation right before that.

I LOVED the NYC premiere and I am so happy these girls are back! Ratings will go up... I think this season will bring it. BH, OC, and NYC always start lower and then rise throughout the season, so I'm not too worried. Only Atlanta and Jersey seem to come out with a huge bang, so again, not too worried right now. Even though BH was terrible this year, I did really enjoy their finale... I loved the way they transitioned into behind the scenes for the reunion... that was a good cliffhanger and aside from Miami, is the only series to show behind the scenes for a reunion like that. I enjoyed that. Carlton was such a non-factor in the finale, and the fact she didn't go to Puerto Rico just makes her seem so irrelevant. Joyce is a non-factor too. I'm surprised they got 3 episodes worth of reunion out of this... they need to drop quite a few of the ladies and get real storylines for next year. This season had NOTHING.

Phaedra now bisexual? I don't believe this... http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/541331/20140303/real-housewives-atlanta-rhoa-phaedra-parks-apollo.htm#.UxRlA5DnZaQ

I guess Lauri won't be showing up on the OC this season... I wonder what happened? She was one of the highlights and really brought the drama... the Whistler screamfest on the slopes was one of the most memorable scenes of all time!

After watching the Shahs of Sunset reunion, this makes more sense to me... they said Beverly Hills high school has more Persians than any other race, something like 60%. I was completely shocked.
