Interesting article about Miami's horrible ratings and comparison to DC: http://t.entertainment.msn.com/is-bravos-real-housewives-of-miami-a-colossal-fail

NJ S6 production delayed: http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/11/real-housewives-new-jersey-production-pushed-back-reality-trouble/

I checked my DVR last night and they are airing Part 2 of the Miami reunion on Thursday. Isn't that sort of insulting? They don't have any other lead in or premiere that night... they're letting it die out on an obscure night. Not a good sign! They could at least let it finish after Atlanta the next Sunday, since that's when it always gets the highest ratings (last season and this season).

Uh oh, Lisa apparently wants to quit the Housewives after this season. http://global.christianpost.com/news/real-housewives-lisa-vanderpump-to-quit-show-shes-miserable-108359/

Awww, all these DC memories are coming back to me! I miss it Also, all of those ladies are now divorced, so can you imagine the drama we would have gotten out of them? Ew, I just finsihed Vanderpump Rules and Pandora really annoyed me. She came across like a bitch and I didn't like it.

Thanks, Eric! Very helpful and interesting. Major swings across the board, but OC, NYC, and BH seem to be consistent in that they start low and end high (which hopefully is optimisitc for BH given their premiere ratings this season were terrible!). Poor Miami - BH didn't really help them like Atlanta did - their finale didn't even get a million viewers. That shows just how tired viewers are with New Jersey... perfect timing to shake things up, which they seem to be doing. NJ S5, Atlanta S4, and Miami S3 must have been duds given their ratings dropped off the most on that list. You're right - even though I really enjoy the new NYC girls - they didn't need to do an overhaul considering those S4 numbers without Bethenny were at the high-end for housewives. I still think it was more personal by Andy given those ladies are so close to him and I swear Jill was stalking him. They should have gotten rid of Cindy (dud) and added Carol with perhaps Heather in there as a friend of the housewives with potential for moving up. I'm still on the fence with Aviva. Thanks! If I remember correctly, their reunion episodes increased even higher... I still firmly believe that DC could be as popular as OC/NYC/BH if given the chance. I guess Bravo didn't want the risk after the White House incident.

^That's great - thanks for posting! Not to be greedy, but if you have the time, can you put the season finale ratings next to the matching premiere rating? Generally, you can see which seasons viewers either loved (by significant increase in finale over premiere) or disliked (finale decreases from premiere). Feel free to throw in DC - I loved it, it was fabulous, and shouldn't have been cancelled!

Yeah, I was shocked at the ratings the 7pm repeat got... it was the last reunion episode from S5. Miami's ratings doubled thanks to Atlanta. I wonder what BH's ratings look like, and how well they helped Miami's finale last night.

Atlanta's premiere ratings are big: REAL HOUSEWIVES ATLANTA BRVO 8:00 PM 3.108 1.4 Not sure how that stacks against other premiere/finale/reunion ratings, but anything over 3 million nowadays is really good.

There is always the possibility that Lauri is back as a full-time housewife this season, which will bring more familiarity. Although her only ally last season seemed to be Gretchen, who is now gone.

OC news... Lydia will NOT be returning for the 9th season. With Alexis, Gretchen, and now Lydia out, we're only left with Vicki, Tamra, and Heather! http://www.eonline.com/news/477422/the-real-housewives-of-orange-county-shocker-lydia-mclaughlin-reveals-she-will-not-return-for-season-9

Once again, the transition between BH to Vanderpump was flawless!!!

Clip of Nene vs. Kenya.... Cynthia looks gorgeous (as always) in her talking heads (very end): http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/10/30/real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-6-premiere-clip/

Not sure how Bravo would feel about these comments from Marlo... http://www.christianpost.com/news/real-housewives-of-atlanta-news-marlo-hamton-talks-rumored-nene-leakes-fight-107547/

More details on the Miami reunion: http://www.eonline.com/news/474204/real-housewives-of-miami-explosive-reunion-joanna-krupa-blames-lisa-hochstein-s-fertility-struggles-on-alleged-partying If true, that's pretty low of Joanna. I'm Team Lisa for now, but I'll need to watch to see how it all plays out. Wow - you're right!!!

From that trailer, Joyce reminds me of a Karent/Adriana mix.

BH premiere party --- Kim/Kyle/Brandi are tight; Lisa all alone... http://www.eonline.com/news/473852/rhobh-premiere-party-brandi-glanville-and-kyle-richards-very-tight-lisa-vanderpump-kept-to-herself

Here's the link to the Miami drama. I'm sad to see Lisa and Joanna fight like this - I really enjoyed their scenes together. http://www.realitytea.com/2013/10/23/is-lisa-hochstein-suing-joanna-krupa-over-drama-at-the-real-housewives-of-miami-reunion/ Ana's tweet was really bitchy. Sounds like the reunion will be good!

YES! That makes me very happy Although I bet it's closer to March once BH or Atlanta wind down... dang, that's still half a year away! Do you think they'll do 3 series at a time (minus the 1-2 week overlap with a reunion).

Geez, Lauri's son has been arrested AGAIN for grand theft auto: http://www.tmz.com/2013/10/17/josh-waring-real-housewives-of-orange-county-grand-theft-auto-felony-arrest/ I'm reallllllly looking forward to NYC. I actually loved last season - the new ladies were a hit for me - and I miss my Ramona, Luann, and Sonja. I moved into my new house 11 months ago and I looked at the TV series that are set to record on my DVR. All RH series are set except NYC, which means NYC hasn't aired once (new episode) in 11 months... meanwhile Miami is on their second season of the year, and BH and Atlanta are now about to run twice before NYC even ran once. This season BETTER be amazing after all the work they're putting into it.

Three new housewives for NJ (rumored)... unfortunately this article tells us nothing about them: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/real-housewives-new-jersey-shake-649119?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thr%2Fnews+(The+Hollywood+Reporter+-+Top+Stories)

Ohhh, tricky editing! How funny would that have been though?

Although LMAO at Phaedra calling the police on Kenya for asking Apollo if she can provide fellatio! Hahaha

Bravo's website has the extended trailer of Atlanta.... And all I can say is DAMN! Lots of fighting, even from those you wouldn't expect. Full of drama! Can't wait! Also, Phaedra needs to stop excusing her husband. He's never going to be faithful and she's only embarrassing herself

Yay - glad you're back!
