I completely agree with this!!! They need a real ritch bitch that can outwork Vicki - that would be gold! Last night's WAS draining. Peggy is boring and a waste of space. Too much of the same with Alexis. This is NOT Gretchen's season - she's coming off completely unlikeable this year, which is sad. The Princess thing is getting out of control. Tamra's boyfriend is pretty hot, but I was more interested in the funny gay friend they had dinner with.

For those interested... they are playing the ENTIRE NYC Season 3 on Thursday - Bravo.

Here are the first two episodes' ratings: Premiere Episode: Real Housewives of Orange County (BRAVO, 10pm) - 2.050 million viewers - 1.4/3 HH - 1.1/3 A18-49 2nd Episode: Real Housewives of Orange County (BRAVO, 10pm) - 2.051 million viewers - 1.5/2 HH - 1.1/3 A18-49 No drops - and pretty consistent. Much higher than Miami and Bethenny Ever After, but just under Top Chef. Credit: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/

Wow - I forgot about the drag queen! I think we got a glimpse of him at the art show though (he was behind Adriana while she got in the fight with the art guy). I'm surprised, given Andy's pro-gayness, and the Housewives normally having gay friends on every season, that he would cut out the drag queen completely - AND is now cutting out the lesbian OC housewife from being a housewife, Fernanda.

^Wow - that will be the shortest Housewives season EVER - to include OC S1 and NYC S1. Weird, and not good for Miami.

Miami ratings keep slipping (unlike how BH and DC did through their run): Last Tuesday: Real Housewives of Miami (BRAVO) - 1.301 million viewers - 0.9/2 HH - 0.7/2 A18-49 This Tuesday: Real Housewives of Miami (BRAVO) - 1.101 million viewers - 0.9/2 HH - 0.5/2 A18-49 I wonder how Andy feels about this. I also think the season is almost over, already! They keep previewing this new pregnant nanny show that starts in the same timeslot on April 5th. That leaves only 2 episodes left, to include a reunion. That can't seem right!

I thought Vicki in Seattle was pretty funny - reminded me of her early seasons when she used to have more fun. Peggy sounds JUST like Alexis. If you listen without watching, you can't even tell who is who. That is weird. Anyway, Peggy IS pointless unless she brings more crazy drama. She's an Alexis clone, except looks much older than she probably is (bad plastic surgery). Miss Independent Tamra is fun for now, although I really liked Simon and miss him now. When are they going to introduce Fernanda as a new housewife??? The introductions this season has been whack... Peggy gets a spot in the promo, yet she wasn't seen until halfway through episode 2. Fernanda gets nothing, and she's been in both episodes many times. Actually, looking at Bravo's website, they've taken her out of the main cast photo at the top (she was in there before the promo), but she still has a bio. Weird!

I agree! Speaking of Elsa and Marysol, anyone see they were both charged and arrested for DUI's last year? Look at mugshots here: http://www.dlisted.com/node/40890 Marysol obviously looks embarrased, but it barely looks like her - her cheeks look different - is this before or after the show and her 'face work'? Speaking of Miami --- after last week's episode, I'm officially DONE with Adriana. She is the worst host ever, and that was absolutely tacky of her to bring in another artist. What pisses me off too is that Lea supported her and sided with her, when we ALL know deep down Lea knows that was wrong.

Wow I never watch this show, but just stumbled into this thread - and WOW I'm so sad for Tami and how she turned out. She has gained weight, has alcohol problems, looks like she might have done drugs, and lost all credibility from her Real World days. SAD! Of course I'm just basing this off what I saw from the Food Stamps video. haha

^Also add that Vicki and Tamra teamed up in S5 because they both hate Slade and think he is repulsive for being a serial OC Housewife dater. Of course Slade and Gretchen didn't like that. But Vicki was also a wedge between Simon and Tamra's marriage. Simon hated the show and how Tamra is fake BFFs with Vicki, who doesn't like Simon's control over Tamra (Vicki never lets men control her - she's always in control). Also Vicki doesn't like Alexis or her husband's control over her, so there is a feud there... so sides were drawn.

Bravo put up a new Season 4 preview for NYC: http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city/season-4/videos/return-to-the-big-apple Looks like it'll be good! Blondes vs. Brunettes! AND - The Salahis are just ridiculous. They were asked to leave Celebrity Rehab because they have no real addiction! hahahaha http://www.allheadlinenews.com/briefs/articles/90039124?White%20House%20party%20crasher%20Michaele%20Salahi%20asked%20to%20leave%20%26quot%3BCelebrity%20Rehab%26quot%3B

I just got back from NYC, so haven't seen the premiere of OC yet... But last season ended so ugly with everyone, so I'm not surprised! I'm surprised Vicki is even back, she was through at the reunion. She said 'the fun is out of it' now. I think Tamra causes all the [!@#$%^&*]-stirring, enough so that even Simon divorced her and now apparently won't let his kids on the show (a la Sheree/Dina/et al). Alexis/Vicki had a feud last season, and Tamra/Gretchen has always had a feud. Sounds like Gretchen is finally standing up for herself, in a bitchy way though? Slade and Gretchen have been together since before Season 5 started filming, so he was in all of last season (5).

Haha, I just came in here to post about this. It's ridiculous! What do they even need rehab for - isn't this show about drugs/alcohol? Miami was reallllly boring this week until the Black Bell stuff with Lea/Cristy. Speaking of, I thought Lea looked like a drag queen at the auction! The real drama came on Watch What Happens Live!!! Anyone see that?!? Cristy was a guest, and Lea called in and just TORE her a new one about not paying or having a ticket. She called her "a thousand dollar hooker", and just ranted on and on - they sat there blown away and it was very awkward. Loved it! haha Also, Marysol TOTALLY looked like Adrienne from Beverly Hills.

New Jersey is just DRAMA - sometimes fun and sometimes annoying - but overall one of the most popular series. That is promising news about DC - I really hope they bring it back for a 2nd season. I just can't WAIT for more OC. They are playing repeats all week from Season 4-5.

I like some of them - like Alexia, Marysol, and Larsa. But Christy does NOT belong, and I feel like the production value is so cheap that it's a 2nd-rate housewives show. That's the most annoying thing with it so far. I really just want NYC back right now...haha. I also can't wait for more OC - I've been catching up with all the marathons lately and I really like that series more now. Also, apparently Cat from DC was interviewed the other day and said she is most positive that a 2nd season will happen. Fingers crossed!

Yikes - the ratings are out for Miami's premiere, and they aren't looking too hot: Real Housewives of Miami (BRAVO) - 1.214 million viewers - 0.9/1 HH - 0.6/2 A18-49 This is well below most of the DC series. Hopefully things improve, or DC won't be the ugly red-headed stepchild of the housewives series. I wonder if this had anything to do with Bravo showing the sneak peak on Sunday night after WWHL? Maybe some people caught it and just didn't have to watch Tuesday night?

Haha - oh Kim. Of course she would! Chris B - you are so right about Miami's production values (CHEAP), but especially right about Christy. She is most definitely not worthy of housewife status - very VH1. She got lucky, had Miami been cast for a housewives show in the beginning, she would NOT have made the cut. Also, this might sound horrible, but I swear most of the Miami kids are (going to be) gay. Adriana's son for sure. Larsa has one who was playing with a Barbie. Alexia's youngest son might be gay. Just an observation...

Miami: Audriana is drama and wants to be famous - watch out for her. She got PISSED on Watch What Happens Live when Larsa beat her in the poll for 'first best impression'. She also didn't have nice words for Larsa during the show - I guess those two are feuding. Lea doesn't fit with these girls. I feel like these girls are a mish-mash of housewives, and Lea seems more like a NYC housewife instead. Alexia looks like Michael Jackson. Cristy, so far, does not belong on a Housewives series. She doesn't fit the mold and seems too young, even though she was married for 11 years with kids. Love Marysol and her mother so far. Really like Larsa too. Better than I was expecting... ready for more!

^Is that another Bravo show? I saw him on last week's episode of Million Dollar Listing, which made me wonder what was filmed first? Million Dollar Listing or Real Housewives of BH? For those interested, my DVR is showing the following upcoming marathons on Bravo: Thursday - Last half of 3rd season OC Sunday - Last half of 4th season OC Monday - Last half of 3rd season NYC Tuesday - Last half of 5th season OC Throw in some random episodes of Bethenny Getting Married too. Sure wish they would just show the entire seasons, instead of skipping the first few episodes

Camille is popping up everywhere! She'll be on #!($ My Dad Says! too. Overall - disappointed in the Atlanta reunion shows. It was just as boring as Season 2's, yet this year they have no excuse. Not that they need to get crazy like NJ, but even DC and NYC have some really good reunion shows without the brawling. It was interesting that if you watched NeNe's reactions to certain things Kim and Phaedra (her biggest "enemies") said in their interviews that Andy rolled, NeNe was laughing! Example: When Phaedra called ATL 'haterville'. I think there might be some fake hating here. Same with Kim - she laughed at some of NeNe's interview quotes. I thought Sheree = Ramona; definitely turned likeable and real in her 3rd season. Glad she's bringing back She by Sheree. On the upside, the Watch What Happens Live was the BEST one ever. I even like Andy because he was in a good playful mood. Kandi and Phaedra both looked HOT... Kandi's hair and her cleavage was banging. I thought they were funny and they were perfect! I wasn't surprised that Phaedra got really sick during the reunion - I was thinking during Part 1 that she was breathing awfully heavy during some of it. Makes sense now! I was watching on delay, so when Andy said that they are showing a surprise premiere of Miami after WWHL, I got excited but only caught the last 30 minutes. I think it'll be much better than I was expecting. I reallllly like Marisol and Larsa. Alexia looks like Michael Jackson, but I like her story. The two that don't belong for me are the single ladies - Audriana and Christina (I think those are their names). They seem too young and inexperienced to be Housewives. The Miami graphics are REALLY cheap though, especially after just coming off the glitzy Beverly Hills. The beach/flamingo theme looks cheap. But I'm now more excited about this series - the premiere was good (from what I saw)!

I loved how they brought her in for interviews on this episode. Too bad Alison D. (aka 'The Medium') refused! Can't wait for the Atlanta reunion Part 2 starting in 5 minutes. Hopefully they bring the drama

I love Glee so much, but that's pretty much how it is with every character and storyline - sudden changes that come out of nowhere. Like this current Quinn/Sam/Finn/Rachel storyline - WTF. But as one of my friends said "it's pretty typical of high schoolers...always changing their minds". But even Sue and her relationship with Mr. Shu - it's always up and down. I thought after Christmas they'd all come together a bit, but nope. And what happened to Artie's ability to walk from Christmas? OH well - still love the show. haha

Agreed -- as long as you have interesting women and families. That was how I felt about NYC Season 1. That's why I want to see more DC - Michaele really did hijack the show, and we didn't get to know the other ladies intensely like the other series.

OC Season 2 just started 5 minutes ago... For some reason, they are starting with episode 3 Couldn't they just start 2 hours earlier and play the whole season??

Add me to the Phaedra is love group! The reunion was just ok... about on track with BH's first reunion episode. I feel like it has to be tame because Kim is pregnant. I just know NeNe would get up off that couch to get in Kim's face if she weren't pregnant. I just know these ladies want to one-up the NJ reunion shows, yet they can't. Last season it was because Kandi's fiance died and they were holding out for money... this season Kim is pregnant. Kandi's hair looks good! Cynthia looked like a witch on WWHL! lol Peter was more appealing on WWHL. Here's hoping to next week is more entertaining! Don't forget - Bravo is showing OC Season 2 tomorrow! I also noticed that next Sunday they are showing a few episodes of NYC Season 3.
