^Haha, I know - that black and white photo was so mobilicious! I also thought the same thing about Teresa/Gia - it's pretty crazy! I've always though Gia and Melania look exactly like mini-Teresas and Adriana looks nothing like them (probably Joe). You're right - Danielle who? Teresa's family drama is where it's at! Manzos do feel insignificant, but I'm interested in seeing how Caroline fits into the Melissa/Kathy thing - I wonder if they'll get along.

OMG - New Jersey is crazy good! The premiere was gold and the previews for the season is better! It's so Italian mob goodness. I'm on Team Melissa/Kathy - love those two. Teresa who?

I think Fernanda was an original housewife but cut during the last few minutes of editing. She was in promo shots (which are taken before and during editing). But about a week before the premiere, she was removed from the main website as a housewife (in the main group shot). I think they realized she didn't have enough (interesting) material to be a full housewife, or be on every episode with (interesting) commentary. Also, Tamra might have sabotaged her by not going to her Independence Party (which was setup as a potential big party/storyline for her, but then no housewife showed up). She didn't go to Peggy's dinner party, so she was useless and had nothing to say there. Looks like she goes to San Antonio this week with some girls, but I just don't think she showed up or met with any other housewives during filming (except Tamra) to really be involved in the drama. I think they realized during final editing that she just didn't provide enough and she was demoted.

Oh God --- if only we could have a Season 2 of DC: From RadarOnline: "Alleged White House crasher Michaele Salahi plans on crashing the clubs next, by releasing her first song, Bump It – and RadarOnline.com has an exclusive sneak peek for you! According to Michaele's rep, she was inspired by talk show queen Oprah Winfrey to record the single when she claims Oprah told her, “Wow, you have an amazing voice!” while they were together backstage during the inauguration of President Barack Obama. “I am so excited with my first single! It's an amazing dance song, and it highlights the party animal in everyone!” Michaele said. “I titled the song ‘Bump It' because I love dancing and bumping it on the dance floor! I got so caught up with the rhythm, that my music just feels like a magical prism.” Interested in the lyrics? Here are some of Michaele's deep thoughts: “Like I'm so high and like, you're so not. The speakers on blast, let the techno rock. Everybody in the club make your way to the front, rhythm is the bass that will make the crowd jump.” Michaele's song will be available on iTunes until Thursday, May 11." THIS WOMAN IS SO DELUSIONAL! LOL

Oh Jill Zarin... you come back from Australia and say something like "I'm a new woman and will remove myself from all the catty, petty drama, and gossip"... and then immediately sits down with LuAnn, Kelly, and Sonja and gossip and be catty!!! LOL Sonja is so evil this season, and I love it. She's soooo horrible to Cindy! Still waiting for the OC to heat up a bit... just not feeling this season too much.

Did they cut into Bravo tonight? I'm guessing not... but I might need to re-DVR my OC girls later tonight.

Oh my --- things got HEATED after the live Watch What Happens between LuAnn and Cat. Check this out: http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-4/videos/after-show-with-luann-and-cat-part-ii Cat needs to join NYC ASAP!

Ohhh, I'm loving the Cindy/Sonja rivalry! Good episode again. And Cat totally hated Luann last night on WWHL. Cat was owned by Luann and Cat eventually was just like 'get me the f*** out of here, I'm done' -- and Andy totally let Cat just pout and gave Luann the spotlight. It was awkward between Cat/Luann!

....and then Jesse

Speaking of Jenny... remember when Tad met her in heaven:

Wow - so that's what Rebecca Taylor looks like? Love putting faces to writers' names.

Just caught up on this thread... and y'all have put me in tears! Love the 90's AMC, when I first started watching! Janet/Natalie - the well storyline Budapest w/ Erica; Helga Anyone remember when Helga wheeled in Angelique, who was very much alive, and ruined the huge Wildwind party? It was so dark and crazy - I loved it! Helga was staring straight into the camera and talking to Angelique, and then wheeled her from some dark undereground area of Wildwind. It was so creepy and intriguing! Anyone know if that clip is on YouTube??? Kevin and the gay storyline WRCW Liza's return

I'm still Team Alex after last night! Although I LOVED how dramatic Sonja was with her fur hat at lunch. That was amazing. No Jill last night at all - surprising! I guess this was during her Australia trip? Kelly is still bananas, but she's tolerable this season. I love wacky Ramona - love her modeling down the runway again! OC: Still haven't seen Sunday's show -- I'm just bored with this season so I'm really amped to watch it before my other shows. I'll watch it soon enough. I still love to hate Vicki, and I actually like Alexis too. I just can't stand Gretchen this season, and of course Slade. Peggy adds nothing, although I like her husband. Tamra/Eddie are ok, but I've read he is really gay and this is just for cameras - who knows? But yeah, it just doesn't have a good vibe/pace this season. Hopefully next week with Lynn/Jeana we'll get some pep back into the season.

TEAM ALEX!!! I thought Alex had every right to question Sonja and demand answers. Sonja completely lost a fan last night in me. I love Alex stepping up and not letting anyone get by with any BS. Although if it is truly "Blondes vs. Brunettes" this season (as Zarin likes to call it)... then perhaps Sonja and Alex make up?

I'm so sad to see AMC go. I started watching with my mom in 1990 when I was 7 years old, and haven't stopped since.

While it will be refreshing to see these ladies do something else besides bitch about Danielle... it does look like it might take a trashier turn. Cheap, you're right, those two new girls SCREAM Jersey... but in a bad Jersey Shore way. This is Housewives! I'm hoping for the best. Carolyn does look good though! Excited for more NYC tonight!!! With the exception of Sonja, these ladies are the real deal (i.e. no foreclosures, no spending more than you have, etc).

New York S4 Premiere Ratings: Real Housewives of NYC (BRAVO, 10pm) - 1.965 million viewers - 1.5/2 HH - 1.0/3 A18-49 (http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/) Not too bad - on par with the OC's premiere ratings and much higher than Miami of course. OC keeps dropping each week though, hopefully NYC doesn't.

^^That SUCKS! I really wanted a second season for DC! This is just putting another nail in Miami's coffin then. Their live reunion show had the lowest ratings for the entire season. NYC: Loved the premiere! Most of all, I love Alex's new backbone! Loved how she caught Jill Zarin in multiple lies and laid it out in front of everyone. Jill has NOT changed - and I loved seeing her squirm. Not really feeling Cindy though - she reminds me of Tammy from OC. She doesn't seem to fit in with the crowd - she's more rock and less glam.

BTW --- Soooooo excited for the NYC S4 premiere tonight! I've missed new episodes of these girls!!!

^Fernanda is still a graphic in the Housewives commercials for the website and other promo items (know what I'm talking about?). It's so weird - I don't think at this point they'll add her anymore... I feel like they would have by now. I also think as they were shooting that the other ladies assumed she is a new housewife too, or else they wouldn't mention her in the list of girls that will be coming to their parties (i.e. Alexis in the car last episode). I was on Fernanda's side during the Tamra thing, and I felt like she caved to Tamra was too quickly and easily. Maybe that's why at the end of the day, they edited her out from being a housewife bc she is boring and too nice? I'm liking Peggy a bit better now... I really like her husband (minor crush haha). My attitude towards Gretchen has completely changed this season. I used to be one of her supporters since Season 4, but now she's annoying, a bitch, and arrogant. Not enjoying her this season. Overall though, OC just isn't bringing it like it needs to. I don't know what it is - the first episode was good - but nothing really steamy or crazy since. The ratings are consistent with that too - they keep dropping.

^WOW! Ok - watching the Miami reunion and WHAT are these ladies saying??? Horrible idea with the Live thing... I can't hear what anyone is saying, they are trying to make it dramatic and juicy bc they know the ratings are horrible (Adriana!), and I can't understand their English anyway!

Not sure if the DC thing is true: http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2011/03/real-housewives-of-dcs-lynda-erkiletian-sets-the-record-straight-on-the-season-2-cancelation-rumors.html Hopefully they continue with a Season 2!! Loved catching up on NYC S3 again Thursday! Next Thursday they are showing a marathon of Season 2.

Miami actually got pretty good last night --- because at least there is some drama. I still don't feel like I really know these ladies though. First seasons should introduce them better (i.e. NYC and OC) and then slowly show how these ladies come together to know each other (other than their fake 'lunch/cooking classes' dates that seems to have been originally the premise for the Miami Social Club). I just feel like these ladies barely know each other, but are forced to come together during these luncheons and discuss Miami and the going-ons. Mama Elsa was a hot mess with Andy on Watch What Happens Live. A show around her won't be successful, plus I doubt she'd do it. They need to stick with small doses. Also, Marysol looked HORRIBLE on WWHL! She was gorgeous on her first appearance a few weeks back, but last night it looked like she just had Botox an hour before the show. Her face never moved, and her hair pulled back didn't help the solid forehead situation. She didn't even look like herself. Also, was it just me, or does it sound like Marysol and her husband don't last? Elsa didn't seem happy with discussing him, and Marysol said we'll have to watch - but never really said they were happy or wanted to discuss him much. So sad since last night's episode showed their wedding.

GROSS beyond words: http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/movies/michael-lohan-gets-close-to-real-housewives-of-nj-star Oh Kim G!

Wow - she was really pretty! That's so sad... is it just bad plastic surgery, or what?? Speaking of Elsa... Andy has a HUGE boner for Elsa - he doesn't shut up about her! This might bode well for another Miami season... or maybe her own spinoff. I have a feeling he won't let her go after the finale next week.
