I've gotta say - that Atlanta opener with the new tailgates is a letdown... doesn't seem to flow and the tailgates aren't that catchy like they've been previously. I'm so excited for the premiere though - good month for Bravo!

FINALLY - BH looks exciting again. Last season was so dull... I'm excited about the new girls and drama!

Yikes! Who is she with in that video? That older girl looks like her twin - is there another Guidice girl that we've never seen???

I just remembered the Asian lady that was rumored to be a BH housewife... she sort of dropped out of the news early... I wonder if she's still going to be on the show? I can't remember what the issue was with Shahs of Sunset being delayed, but could that be partly why BH is delayed as well? They're both shows filmed in BH, but it could be something about their production companies since VR didn't seem to be delayed. NJ ratings were higher for the finale - highest of the season.

Heather Dubrow totally calls out Teresa and Bravo... and she's spot on IMO: http://www.eonline.com/news/589816/heather-dubrow-sounds-off-on-teresa-giudice-s-future-with-the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey

Preview of the NJ reunion --- looks pretty good actually! http://www.eonline.com/news/589378/is-this-insanely-dramatic-the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-reunion-teresa-giudice-s-last-see-the-trailer

Aww, I love Kathy and her sweet family - touching scenes. The Jac/Ashley scenes was touching too. Jim is crazy - but part of me thinks Bobby/Jim/Amber/Twins totally are faking all this drama - they all knew each other before and they just planned to create all this fake drama to make themselves stars... it's still kind of entertaining, but seems fake.

Damn - I hope this isn't true - I don't want Tamra to get fired: http://www.celebdirtylaundry.com/2014/tamra-barney-fired-real-housewives-of-orange-county-replaced-kobe-bryant-wife-vanessa-hired/

I like the twins - Nicole is definitely the prettier one. I think Teresa would be boring without Rino and this fake rumor. Good for Kathy - while everyone is downsizing bc of their poor decision making, she actually worked hard and is now upgrading. Kathy haters - to the left!!! This season seems like it's still trying to center the show around Teresa, yet she is boring because she can't act out and has to play this legal game. The others are just supporting for the most part. Dina gives nothing. Melissa gives nothing. The twins and Amber are trying, but I think it's too obvious how much they're trying.

Y'all - just caught a little bit of Melbourne for the first time... 1) Why do all these ladies have deep, smoky tranny voices??? 2) Chyka reminds me of Caroline Manzo - in appearance anyway. I enjoyed the 30 minutes I watched - hopefully they replay the series from episode one.

I'm going to miss the OC! I think the shocker of the night was Vicki admitting that she has an open relationship and sees other people on the side! WHAT? That makes me believe Lauri even more now about the threesome she walked in on that one night in a hotel.... NJ just can't tide me over until November... I'm going to have some serious RH withdrawals, y'all!

Or they could have done a shorter season of Miami and just made that a short series each summer.... oh well! :/

Yeah, I'd tap it Once the OC finishes, it'll be a pretty long Housewives dry spell with only NJ airing.... BH and Atlanta would be next, and both normally start in November, right?

OC finale cracked 2 million again. Meanwhile NJ's episode had like 1.718 viewers.

I really hope they're already filming the next season of NYC... Ramona: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2723914/I-just-trust-anymore-Real-Housewives-star-Ramona-Singer-reveals-kicked-husband-Mario-out.html

Cheap - I love to hate Tamra too... but she didn't play the right game this season and it's biting her HARD. I'm excited and interested in seeing tonight's episode - apparently it's the downfall of Tamra. I'm totally on Jim's side too... he made a smart decision not to hang out with the Joe's, which was only to protect them, yet they want to call him a !@#$%^&*] and be mean to him? F That. Team Jim! Now, Amber is a little thirsty, but I still enjoy her. I enjoy the twins too though, so we'll see... I'm totally over Melissa and Joe Gorga though. NEXT.

Y'all - did you see that the OC beat NJ in the coveted 18-49 demo this week? Has that ever happened?? And NYC wasn't too far off from NJ.

I mentioned this earlier, but Jill Zarin was the NYC representative for the Las Vegas housewives event that my friend won a week ago. Kenya was ATL, Kyle was BH, Melissa was NJ, Vicki was OC, and Jill was NYC. I also think Bravo was filming an episode of Chef Roble's show - he was in the pictures and those are the type of events he caters to and spotlights on his episodes. Last season he had Phaedra on for one of her events. That's my guess

Agreed! What a great finale - great scene. The girls did such a great job on WWHL afterwards too (Ramona, Heather, Luann). Andy was eating it all up.

^No, but Heather said quite a few times that she never 'kicked Shannon out of her house' - she only 'asked her to leave' - which is true... but then she just said this week that she kicked her out of her house... so even Heather casually agrees in her own mind that she kicked her out. She's just trying to save face by saying she didn't. Your assessment of ratings to soap opera ratings is spot on!!! LOL - hilarious. At the Vegas event - my friend's mom was the winner of the entire competition!!! She was on Melissa's team. She has all kinds of pictures posted on Facebook. The most interesting part of the entire thing is that JILL ZARIN was the NYC housewife representative. Hmmmm..... Vicki was the OC rep, Melissa NJ, Kenya ATL, Kyle BH, and Jill NYC. Interesting! Anyway she had a blast and I'm totally jealous of all her pictures.

Is that Kristen in the best spot on the couch, next to Andy??? Kenya - yes. Shannon - yes. Kristen - not deserving. Can't wait for NYC tonight!!! Heather and Tamra - ugh. Tamra basically admitted that she's lying in her talking head. And her tears were so fake last night... well, she didn't even produce tears, just her hystronics. Heather basically admitted that she did kick Shannon out of her house, even though before she's been saying that Shannon is blowing it out of proportion. I'm just Team Shannon all around on this issue. Lizzie was pretty boring on WWHL. At first I thought Andy/Bravo might ask her back even after storming off the reunion set, since she was appearing on WWHL... but then she didn't really deliver last night. Who knows... I'm pretty embarrassed for her - next week's previews make it seem like no one showed up to her birthday party. Why would everyone cancel??

Oh I definitely hate those bangs on Heather

I cannot WAIT for the leg finale! I think Shannon and Kristen are completely different... Kristen doesn't trust her husband whereas Shannon can't stand her husband. There is no way David is out there cheating whereas I could totally see Josh getting some on the side after work when he's telling Kristen he's on a business call or dinner. I agree though that Shannon is way more interesting and fun to watch.

I also 100% believe the struggles in Kristen and Josh's marraige. I've been in a relationship like that and I can see that Josh is totally over Kristen and that Kristen thinks he's cheating on her everytime he's away... there is zero trust in that relationship and it's sad, but real.

Tamra's ass got caught - and I loved it! Shannon is 100% real and honest - she may react emotionally and come off crazy at times - but she doesn't lie or stir up [!@#$%^&*] like Tamra to be relevant. I wish Vicki would have said something at the table, but at least she admitted it in the confessional --- which will make the reunion so much better. I can't wait to have these ladies watch everything back to see that Shannon was telling the truth - I want Tamra and Heather to apologize at the reunion. And don't get me started with Heather - she needs to learn what 'screaming' really means. Shannon has never screamed at her until tonight. I wish Heather would just own up to what she did (which is blab to many people around town) - instead she keeps deflecting and it is very irritating. If Lizzie hadn't hosted this event, she would have been another nonfactor, just like Danielle was... I hope these ladies prove themselves in Bali! Love the OC!
