I agree in that I can't wait for Laurie to get there! Also, Tamra said on WWHL that she softens towards Alexis and the rest of the season isn't full of hate. Anyone notice the major editing inconsistencies during those first few episodes? We all know that Alexis was originally fired and then later asked to come back. But in the second episode, when Vicki had Alexis over to the see the grandbaby... that was AFTER the 3rd episode's fight. The first time Alexis and Vicki saw each other this year was at Vicki's house, AFTER Vicki called Tamra to ask if Alexis could come (aka producers told her to do this). It's obvious because when Alexis finally showed up at Vicki's house, Vicki mentioned how Alexis's new short haircut was cute, and Alexis mentioned to Vicki how her face looked great. It was obvious that this was the first time the two of them had seen each other. I'm not loving Lydia... I think I hate her LONG hair. She needs a cut, and she needs to eat. She looks way too thin..

I just can't believe that Kenya won't be back... she has a new man (that's real this time)... and Andy loves her. She's worked hard on that song and branding herself in this series, and Bravo is making money off her. Most of the new Atlanta shirts and apparel this year are 'Twirl' and others related to her song. Beyonce gave the show a shout-out thanks for Kenya. Bravo and Andy would be DUMB not to bring her back. I would say Porsha would easily be a goner, but with the divorce, that might improve her chances. Also, in that last Reunion episode, her little speech was actually pretty amazing and that alone might have given her a spot.

NYC's Sonja is dating a 23 year-old man... this might secure her spot. http://www.intouchweekly.com/entertainment/news/real-housewives-of-new-york-city-sonja-morgan-dating

Anyone watching Don't Be Tardy? This week's anniversary episode was so sweet and almost made me fall back in love with Kim and Kroy.

Caroline has said multiple times now that this season tops all others. She was saying that when she thought they couldn't get any crazier, they continue to top it and it surprises her.... so I'm hoping for a good season. We'll see! I just noticed this, but Adrienne isn't in that BH S3 promo. She's the only housewife not in it... I wish I had noticed that back when it aired.

Oh I thought that was a cool promo! They did something similar for BH Season 3 and I loved that as well. News about NYC -- they begin filming in three weeks and they still haven't signed Aviva. She even moved into a new building so Bravo could shoot at her house! I think that's interesting since we all wondered last season why we never saw her house or kids. The building wouldn't let Bravo shoot there! http://thestir.cafemom.com/entertainment/154431/real_housewives_of_new_yorks

OC: Gretchen proposed to Slade yesterday... something different, but not surprising! http://perezhilton.com/2013-04-18-real-housewives-orange-county-gretchen-rossi-engaged-slade-smiley

More financial troubles for Jacqueline... doesn't look good for the Laurita's! http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/16/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-jacqueline-laurita-mansion-foreclosure/

Well Miami ought to be interesting again... Dennis Rodman showed up at Lea Black's annual gala. Also, half the cast instead went to the gay polo tournament at Wellington (I'm assuming Ana, Alexia, and Marysol went to this instead of Lea's gala since Marysol/Ana are on the outs with Lea). http://blogs.herald.com/scene_in_the_tropics/2013/04/n-korean-ambassador-dennis-rodman-steals-the-real-housewives-of-miamis-thunder-at-blacks-gala.html

Look how miserable Eva and John look together! Haha - I'm assuming this was during their major divorce/hating each other/etc?

Drama with Heather from NYC: http://theweek.com/article/index/242649/a-lesson-in-patents-courtesy-of-a-real-housewives-star-and-the-creator-of-spanxhttp://theweek.com/article/index/242649/a-lesson-in-patents-courtesy-of-a-real-housewives-star-and-the-creator-of-spanx I wonder if this will make the new season coming up.

Season 1/2 Jason is different from the Season 3/Bethenny Every After Jason. She lost two sweet Jason's over the years... truly sad. Yep - all Atlanta ladies coming back, including Nene, who some thought wouldn't come back because of her new acting career. Thank GOD she's back! Oh, and Wig isn't back... she better hope her new season of Don't Be Tardy is successful! http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2013/04/the-real-housewives-of-atlanta-cast-all-returning-for-season-6/

Lmao at these pictures!!!!! Jill and Kelly from NYC are the best and most fitting. Also love Nene, Tamra, Kathy, Taylor and Teresa. Half of Miami was snubbed! Also, Peggy has a Miami colored dress, but she's OC - the only mistake I see.

Scary Island is season 3, which is an epic/turning point season for this series. Enjoy it! I can't wait to hear your opinion of Kelly after this season. Haha

Oh boy... If you hate Jill and Luann, then I have a feeling your opinion of Kelly will change. Kelly is probably one of the least likeable housewives in history. She's probably the worst.

Just saw the previews though for next week. Looks like I'll watch since its the fight episode. Surprised its so early in the season! It's Mariah and Toya, which surprises me.

I know... I'm not feeling it tonight. The show seems way too disjointed with the types of ladies and their drama. I feel like Quad, Mariah, and Kari are trying way too hard to be another housewife series, but it's not genuine. Quad is funny but she's too good and ghetto for this type of show. And the two doctors just seem way out of place here.

Brandi also had the advantage of being in the press about her participation in the series during filming (before it aired). I can't think of any other 'friend' having that much press before airing. Dana, Marisa, nor Faye have had that much press before airing.

Did Taylor even speak at this season's reunion??? I watched Part 2 last night and that's the quietest I've ever seen a housewife in any reunion. Very odd - something is up. She's either over it, or very embarrassed watching herself be drunk all the time (which is her main go-to for drama). Also, I just LOVE the OC - so happy it's back! I just love my original girls. The Vicki/Brooks/Briana drama last season was SO good and I can't wait to see more this season. Vicki is just so fun to watch for me - I don't always agree with her (in fact I think she's so hypocritical), but for whatever reason I can't get enough of her. I also would have given my man [!@#$%^&*] if he kept insisting on ordering onion rings for my Clambake. Onion rings do NOT go with lobsters and clams. Heather didn't overreact in my opinion. Also, we see more affection between the two of them than we ever did with Paul/Adrienne. But I do see the bickering - I hope they don't always rely on that for their personal screentime at home. I liked Alexis's new haircut - she looked gorgeous in her interview/talking heads.

I watched last night and I liked it... the first episode definitely tried too hard (Mariah/Quad), but I think the second episode was better. I like the Doctors a lot. Mariah seems smart - she knows how to play both sides and make the producers happy. She's not too hood like Quad - I think she knows how to play for the cameras just enough. Quad is funny, but I think she's too much too. She reminds me of a mix between Marlo (Atlanta) and New York (from VH1 shows). And Toya looks like a black Sammi from Jersey Shore (seriously, look at the dead eyes and lazy face).

Nene was hating on Phaedra since Phaedra's first season (Season 3). Remember, Nene came up with 'Fake-dra'. Didn't they both come from the same small hometown in Macon? Or something like that... I haven't seen those two really come together since then... and the current reunion promos show Nene going after Phaedra even more. So not sure they are close. BTW - Kandi said that Kordell filed for divorce the week after the reunion... and in the reunion, Porsha was spewing all this wonderful stuff about her marriage and Kordell. What a crazy turn of events.. which is why I'm sure Bravo had to quickly change the update lines in the finale for Porsha. That was literally the most recent update for her, and they weren't sure what else to put!

Awww! Y'all are so mean to Kathy. I agree about Ritchie though - he's desparate and his comments last season were nasty. I liked him on their first season though. The kids are awesome though - I cried when they went through Victoria's struggles and childhood story. Kathy's job is to be in Teresa's business and continue this family storyline. I doubt she went to Bravo trolling for a job (like Melissa). I'm sure Bravo wanted more from Teresa's family (since that's the theme of this series)... and they found Kathy that was close enough in location and was actually a housewife. Rosie got popular (especially with Andy), so they're keeping Kathy in. Simple. If they keep her in, she has to be involved and do something. I think it shows just how nice and wonderful Kathy really is when we see her try to create drama - bc it's a tad awkward and she's not used to really doing that stuff in the 'real life'. Plus - I'm 100% behind her on the canoli/dessert thing. Her remark was not an attack, and I bet you anything her desserts (and her mother's desserts) are FAR superior to Teresa's. I can't wait to catch up on my ladies this weekend! I have a reunion, a finale, and a premiere all waiting for me on my DVR!

I'm with you on the Kathy love - you aren't alone! I don't get the Kathy-hate. Sure, she is quiet and probably a little more 'boring' when compared to other housewives (especially on NJ)... but she is so harmless and such a sweet lady. She's a WONDERFUL mother and I love her spirit. I don't get why people trash her so much. 'Boring' isn't a good reason to throw so much shade and so many insults at her.

Huge brawl from the NJ camp - Bravo filmed it all (March 30). I wonder if this will make it on air... we all know the infamous Punta Cana brawl never made it to air (which I'm not sure why... lawsuits?). http://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2013/04/real_housewives_brawl_in_ridgewood_leaves_local_store_bloodied_report_says.html

FINALLY - There are some confirmations from Bravo on NYC Season 6. Ramona, Heather, and Carole have been asked back and have signed a contract! They will be attending Bravo's UpFronts tonight. No word on whether the other three are holding out for more money, or if they haven't been asked back (LuAnn, Aviva, and Sonja). http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/shake-future-housewives-new-york-cast-article-1.1306936?localLinksEnabled=false
