I thought Aviva needed to CALM THE F DOWN. Seriously - I understand being hurt a little because you went through something so "traumatic" and they barely planned for her arrival and didn't even get out of the pool. But like Heather said (whom I love!) - Enough already! She was like a broken record, and the fact she wanted everyone to kiss her husband's feet was disgusting. Aviva really lost some points with me these last two weeks. I just LOVE Carole and Heather - that's all. I thought Luann needed this juicy storyline, even though it has put her relationship in jeopardy. I can't wait for the reunion so she can once and for all be grilled on it. I want to know what Jacques thinks. NJ - I thought that was tacky and dumb for the producers to keep Dina's stumble in the episode. She lost all credibility to me (meaning, if someone wasn't familiar with Season 1, or like the previews suggested, she is this big figure with the NJ series... and then she trips on arrival and it's supposed to be this funny thing). They should have left that out.

NYC also just delivered their highest numbers of the season (finally) - over 1.8 million viewers. That's good news!!! I haven't watched the Housewives yet this week, but I can't wait to this weekend!

I couldn't agree more... it was a great episode! I love all the new girls now. Sonja is a bit irritating this season because she's so unreasonable and unwilling to take her head out of her own a$$. Oh Luann, showing up and thinking you're just there to cycle... she was clueless about the charity, and that's not very Countess-like Can't wait for the 3-part St. Bart's episodes! The previews are awesome - might top last year's Morocco 3-parter, and dare I say S3's Scary Island....

Sad news... Jac's 3-year old son (that she was pregnant with during Season 1's reunion) has officially been diagnosed with autism. Thankfully Jac is getting very involved with the autism community and raising awareness!!! http://www.eonline.com/news/339993/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-s-jacqueline-laurita-has-son-with-autism I guess this could give Jac a storyline for next season if she wishes to put it on the show...

Oh I totally agree with you... I think she should be at home too - just all bad timing. It's just the news reports and the other ladies are saying she's using the baby as an excuse.

Oh yes! I'm glad you think the same... you're exactly right about the LuAnn scene. LuAnn's reaction to Aviva during that scene was the same way she acted to Alex too! Reminding her that it was old news, trying to sweep it under the rug like it's no big deal and Aviva is trying to create a scene but won't get away with it... basically almost like shutting her up. Wasn't Kim from Atlanta pregnant during the reunion? She announced it there... and then we saw the news reports that she isn't filming with the ladies much this season and doesn't go on the trip again this year, using the same baby excuse as last season.

Caught up with the week... I'm loving NYC more than NJ. NJ is way too repetitive sometimes, and Lauren is really immature. Next week's finally looks good though. NYC --- Am I the only one that thinks Heather is totally sane and 100% justified? Everything she does and says I agree with. While it may be humorous to watch Sonja be that way, Heather is totally right and Ramona has ZERO business being involved. I still love Ramona though - her reaction next week to Aviva being upset had me rolling! Speaking of, Aviva is totally the new Alex McCord. Can't do anything without her husband, a little quiet, a little nosy, a little timid when she tries to speak her mind... this last episode she totally reminded me of Alex!

Well, I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm pretty happy that Alexis has been asked back to OC S8: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2012/08/alexis-bellino-may-return-to-the-real-housewives-of-orange-count/ I think we have another season worth of Alexis vs. Heather Also --- I see Bravo is airing a "Manzo-athon" this weekend --- not sure if they are splicing episodes together or what, but they sure do love them some Manzos apparently!

That got cancelled here in my area about 10 months ago. But it was great while it was on - I was able to catch early OC seasons and NYC S1 and S2 everyday thanks to that.

Peter and Cynthia are only doing it because they need a STORY. Their failed attempts at starting businesses has gotten old (and look what they did for Sheree). I'm tired of housewives using renewal vows as a way to create storylines. Ramona's was the last one worthy of it all. Aviva needs to stop talking about Harry - it's getting annoying. Like her failed attempt at a joke the night at Le Cirque. She just needs to stop.

The BH reunion fiasco continues... I'm guessing this is the final truth - has NOT been filmed yet: http://rumorfix.com/2012/08/did-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-already-film-reunion/

I am total Team Heather. She has proven herself to be more of a professional this season than Ramona. I mean I love Ramona, but the last 3 episodes she has been wound too tight for me. Heather and her partner are totally right, and should leave Sonja's ass in the dust. Client? Yeah, right.

Well, I guess the reports are true - Beverly Hills did tape their reunion after all. I suppose with so much happening right at the end of the season, they wanted to capitalize on the raw emotions and get it filmed in a reunion before too much time has passed? Hopefully they do an update reunion later this year once the season airs and combine the two? Adrienne decided to attend the reunion at the last minute: http://www.examiner.com/article/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-reunion-filmed-amidst-separation-drama

Ugh - so wait, Jac doesn't attend this season's reunion either??? WTF? I'm over her if this is true - you can't just skip out two years in a row and expect to still be a housewife that people want to watch. If you can't handle it, then get out of the show. http://global.christianpost.com/news/real-housewives-jacqueline-laurita-skips-reunion-turns-to-kim-g-over-teresa-giudice-feud-79399/

Kelly Bensimon is probably the worst Real Housewife in history. Period.

Last week on WWHL, Andy said something about Brianna being his 'Woman of the Year'... he totally loves her, and I doubt she'd decide to not film because she's been doing it since Season 1 and she hasn't been afraid to call her mother out numerous times on camera. Plus Andy loves Vicki - I think he'll use her until the very end of OC. He wrote about her a lot in his book... and I really think Vicki has more story potential in Season 8 than she had in Seasons 3-5. Vicki and Brianna aren't going anywhere!

Oh! I totally missed that --- now I see it. Sorry about that. Yeah, I'm pretty excited too - looks different from Season 1 and I like how the husbands and mothers are more involved as well. Sure looks like a lot of drama. I also like how Housewives are back on Thursday nights... it's been too long since that's happened. I don't really like it on Sunday or Monday. Tuesday is fine. I wonder what other city they will pair it with --- I guess NYC would be finishing and then BH would take their Monday spot. Atlanta will probably air when Miami is done? I wonder how long Miami is this year (last season was SO short).

For me, it's more that Carole and Bethenny are similar in their funny jabs and call-it-like-they-see it style. They are both cool and funny.

Haha - I guess the Miami preview and reveal doesn't excite many here... that doesn't bode well for them!

Y'all - the new season of Miami has been announced! Looks like Miami is throwing punches! For sure Atlanta will show the fighting now... http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-miami/season-2/videos/everything-goes-on-in-miami Looks fun! Premieres Thursday, Sept. 13th.

More Beverly Hills drama... Adrienne is going to become an outcast if she keeps this up... she'll be the new Alexis! http://www.examiner.com/article/adrienne-maloof-takes-legal-action-against-real-housewives-cast

Wow - just watched the 2 OC reunions - loved it! What a great season for the OC. Heather will be back... I could even see them keeping Alexis (if Jim lets her), just to fuel the Heather/Alexis rivalry. Without Slade, Gretchen barely has a storyline... she better work on that. Vicki has HUGE storyline potential - I can't wait to see her break up with Brooks, become a grandma, etc etc... So much has happened with Briana and Vicki since the finale, they could have done an entire show focused on them (like Kim from ATL).

Oh, that Heather fake smile gif is hilarious! I'm so behind - but I'll catch up this weekend. I read that ratings for NJ this Sunday were huge - over 2.6 million - the 4th highest of the 12 episodes so far this season. The OC's Season 7 average ratings were higher than Season 6 - so that's good news for them.

Speaking of big trips... the Beverly Hills ladies will be going to Paris in Season 3! There are a few other minor spoilers in this: http://entertainment.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981470730 I'm trying to remember - where did they go in their Season 1 and Season 2? I know they went to Hawaii last year, but was that all? It seems like they should have the most lavish trips.

Didn't Ramona slap a producer during filming of Season 4 NYC? It never went to air because it was between her and a producer (crosses the reality line)... but she obvi wasn't fired. http://www.realitytea.com/2010/10/05/report-nyc-housewives-ramona-singer-slaps-a-producer/
