NYC Season 9 Trailer: http://www.eonline.com/news/834030/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city-season-9-trailer-has-everything-jill-zarin-streaking-and-plenty-of-breakdowns Looks like Jill and Heather are making appearances and Sonja is back to boozing. I love the music in this trailer - looks like another wild season. Can't wait - returns early April!

Oh yeah, I hate their new branding - it doesn't fit the Bravo shows AT ALL. Kelly Dodd is confirmed: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/vicki-gunvalson-kelly-dodd-returning-for-rhoc-season-12-w468678 Also, Erika is joining DWTS: http://www.eonline.com/news/831624/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-star-erika-girardi-joins-dancing-with-the-stars-season-24-cast

Did anyone notice the Potomac preview they aired during BH this week? They're playing Return of the Mack (Mac) and then saying "Once you go Mac, you never go back" hahahaha omg. So dumb!

Thank you!! I'll give this a try. I still can't get over how much Cheshire's Dawn looks like Elizabeth Hurley... I feel like I'm watching The Royals haha. I really hope Melbourne is filming again. I heard they took a break to make way for Sydney.... but hopefully with Sydney airing soon, this means Melbourne is filming. I love those ladies! Well, most of those ladies...

Good to know about the Opera House! Thanks, y'all! Has anyone found a way to watch Aukland online for free? I missed that one. I also never got to see Vancouver, but sounds like that ended in a mess anyway? I'm not caught up on Cheshire either - Bravo dropped it after Season 1 it seems.

I'm surprised Sydney isn't using the iconic Opera House. I get the bridge too, but why not both? Maybe they couldn't get permission or something. Athena X? Hahaha, oh lord.

^ I died at the '2 minutes ago' thing too! I also loved how they had everyone say "Who said that", one after the other... it was so funny. Marlo went real low with that mother comment to Kenya. I really can't wait to see Phaedra get her comeuppance. This preview has my gagging - we're in for so much more this season! It seems like Atlanta just lasts year-round nowadays.

It's official - Lydia is returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/rhocs-lydia-mclaughlin-returning-for-season-12-details-w465072

Ahh interesting... well that's positive if Andy likes it. I bet they do want to try to get it to stand strong without Atlanta. Makes sense to to have NYC/Potomac go together this Spring... then what, Dallas/OC with NJ maybe coming in halfway through this summer? Will Bravo please play Cheshire (they only aired Season 1!)... and then Aukland?

I liked Lydia too. Her husband was hot if I remember correctly. Her mom had beef with Vicki's son-in-law. Could be interesting! Random, but do we know much about Potomac Season 2? I haven't heard a peep other than Katie isn't filming, which was announced early last year. They premiered in January last year and aired after Atlanta, which really helped with their ratings. At this rate, it doesn't look like they'll be ready before Atlanta finishes... can they hold their own without a strong lead-in? I guess they could always be paired with Shahs of Sunset, which I expect out this Spring or Summer.

I'm really excited about the possibilities with the OC. I agree we need a former housewife back. Lizzie would be good. We didn't get enough of her IMO, so i never had strong feelings about her either way, but I wasn't bored with her... if that makes sense. I may be the only one, but I think Laurie would be a great choice. She stirred up so much sh!t when she returned a few seasons ago. I also love that she's an original and her family drama with Josh and her daughter was interesting. Anyone watching Celebrity Apprentice this season? I hate to say this, but I'm actually enjoying Porsha on this show. She's fun and bubbly. She's actually pretty creative and smart too, at least moreso than I originally thought. She puts in the work. Kyle is also good on the show - they didn't mention once her connection to the Hiltons though, which I thought was odd.

I'm shocked that Heather is leaving, especially since it seems like it was her decision. I agree, she's never met a camera she doesn't like. I bet we see her back in the future.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! OC News: Tamra is returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/tamra-judge-returning-to-real-housewives-of-orange-county-w462764 Meghan is not returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/news/meghan-king-edmonds-not-returning-to-rhoc-for-season-12-w463016

I loved Erika and Kyle's trip to Greece - so fun and lighthearted. I'm starting to really notice similar tones and inflections in Eden's voice, along with certain facial mannerisms, that remind me deeply of Brandi Glanville. Anyone else noticing this?

Ahh ok - I know of that area... I know exactly where to walk around - thank you!

I agree about Caroline Fleming this season. Last season, I couldn't stand her; she rubbed me the wrong way. This season she's done a 180 and I'm really enjoying her! Where in Chelsea is her townhome? I'm going to be in London for a couple of weeks later this Spring and would love to stroll by it!

That's unfortunate! I'd like to see more of Genise and Mariah's stories. Isn't Mariah an Executive Producer on this show though? Doesn't she have pull? Maybe I just don't know how it all works I'm sure Heavenly wishes she could feature more of her sassy daughter too - we haven't seen much of Heavenly's family this year. I about died with Darren came to Hawaii with his arm in a sling...and then is caught telling the guys one story and his wife another story. This guy really just buries himself in a hole - it's almost funny although I know it tears Lisa Nicole up.

Sydney has some seriously wealthy and/or powerful people, it seems. I'm impressed.

Oh you're right - they did, my bad. I guess the Below Deck Med and latest season of Below Deck didn't have reunions, but maybe it's too hard to get them together. Ladies of London haven't had reunions since the first season. Million Dollar Listing NY had 1 season of a reunion, but not this past year. Anyway, back to M2M - here is the seating chart for the reunion: Genise-Lisa Nicole-Mariah-Jackie-ANDY-Simone-Quad-Heavenly-Toya Surprising line-up. I'm also glad they're involved Genise... not sure why she wasn't a full-time cast member.

Ahhh ok - thanks I thought Eden came way too hard at Kyle this week. For someone that wants to get to know Kyle, that seemed like an odd way of doing it. I'm also tired of Eileen. She's sweet and would make a good friend in real life, but she just drags stuff on too long. Let it go. I think she's just trying to stay relevant, but it's tedious. Kyle and Erika in Greece is so fun and a breath of fresh air. I'm loving these two this year.

They're filming the reunion today and Mariah is there. I'm happy to hear this. I was getting worried that Andy was pulling the plug on non-housewives reunions since Southern Charm and Below Deck both didn't get reunions this year. Nor did Blood Sweat and Heels and M2M Houston although those two weren't surprises to me.

I just went on the Star Trek: The Cruise (cruise)... Lolita Fatjo (part of the writing team for TNG, DS9, and VOY) said that she knows the creative team in charge of this new series and she 100% believes the new series is in good hands, with strong Trek fans (unlike the new movies). I'm hopeful...

So wait, did Eden confirm she's a lesbian? That went over my head - i couldn't tell if she was joking or not. Has she been married?

I really think it's something behind the scenes re: Mariah not being in the opening. Season 2 could have been because of her time off for her miscarriage - but i really think since she's an Executive Producer for the show, there's some sort of independence or legal issue for her not being considered as a full-time cast member. I think Mariah was just as extra as Quad in Season 1, but for me, it was cute/fun because they were friends and the show was new. It's just become a little too much and a little too nasty now since they're not friends and we're in Season 4. Of course there was the infamous throwdown fight between Mariah and Toya from Season 1 that should be viewed, if you can!
