Also - Carole from NYC is splitting up with boyfriend: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city/real-housewives-of-new-york-ci-49160.aspx

Last week on WWHL, Andy said there was going to be a Vanderpump Rules reunion, which I'm sure Lisa will be part of. I guess the ratings are doing well enough to justify a reunion!

May not be true considering the source... NYC Cast Revealed http://www.examiner.com/article/season-6-cast-of-the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city-finally-confirmed

Well, I think it's safe to assume Jill Zarin is not returning... she sure does know how to burn bridges! Also, LOL at the fact that she thinks she's in Bethenny, Nene, and Lisa V.'s league!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/29/jill-zarin-real-housewives-of-new-york-a-million-dollars_n_2577344.html

Aviva surprises me: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/22/real-housewives-star-aviva-drescher-drugs_n_2527898.html

That's Adrienne... not Kyle.

More $$$ trouble for She by Sheree... http://www.tmz.com/2013/01/20/real-housewives-atlanta-sheree-whitfield-tax-lien/

Looks like Adrienne has a new boyfriend - 20 years younger than she is! http://perezhilton.com/2013-01-16-adrienne-maloof-sean-stewart-romance-date

Speaking of WWHL... Last night Caroline called into the show and Andy confirmed that she is back as a housewife this season and they are currently filming for NJ. They also alluded to that day being 'a big day' and were very cryptic about it... either some major drama happened or there was a huge surprising event that went down.

YES! Guaranteed screen time. Love it! And Chris B, agreed, NYC rarely ever showed their house/families. That used to be what made NYC so enjoyable in early seasons. I feel like we watched Avery grow up, and last season she was barely shown (could be her preference), but still, the new girls barely showcased their family this year. I think we got 1-2 scenes with Luann and her kids (which is sad to see how negative they've become). If you go back to the roots of what Housewives is supposed to be, it should be family and friends. It seems like all cities are now about major events and trips where they can outdo each other's drama factor. Or, business opportunities.

I also loved this season of NYC... keep all the ladies and throw back either Jill or Alex, and you'll have a fantastic season IMO. I loved the new girls (especially Carole and Heather). Aviva reminds me of Yolanda, above the drama and a stick up their ass, but that can provide for good drama. The only big OC rumor that I HOPE is real is that Laurie is back this year as a Friend of the Housewives! I can't wait. Also, I can't wait to see what happened with Vicki/Brooks/Briana --- that drama last season was sooo good.

Aww, I thought we had more OC lovers out there. I can't get enough of Vicki and her drama... I also loved Heather as a new addition to the cast. March seems about right for the premiere - Season 6 started on March 6 I think, and last season started much earlier in February. I guess they filmed longer into the year, and will start probably in April (sort of like NYC), which now sounds like NYC may be delayed even further than last year. Have they even started filming yet? I remember 2 seasons ago they delayed the premiere for Miami Season 1 to April 15th (which pissed off many), and then last season didn't premiere until early June. Sounds like we won't get Season 6 of NYC until maybe this fall now. Seems like they are spreading out the housewives by either filming longer, or just taking more time to cast and film between seasons. Anyway - Kenya was hot and fierce on WWHL! Loved the outfit and confidence! Andy also clearly loves her - he has mentioned that several times throughout this season on WWHL. She'll be back next season for sure.

I miss the OC... I'm ready to see those girls again! Speaking of, I wonder how the season is going. We haven't heard much about these ladies, and they should be close to wrapping up filming for Season 8. I hope that's not a bad sign. Usually, we hear some good stuff in the press about any drama or big events during filming. OC has been super quiet.

I agree - I think they'll bring Alexia back and Ana will either be friends of the housewives or not shown at all. It was on Tuesday night, right before the finale of Million Dollar Decorators. On Thursday, they had premieres of Millionaire Matchmaker and Kathy.

I just caught up on the shows this week. I think it's very telling that Ana was the only Miami housewife not to be featured on the Lost Footage episode. I was also surprised that Adriana's whole 'actress' storyline was cut, along with Mama Elsa's Cuban coffee storyline.

^Agreed! Btw, I just read an article about Bethanny filing her divorce papers this week --- the article goes on to say that there have been 36 housewives that have been divorced! I just counted the total number of housewives we've had (minus Vancouver) - that's 36 of 64 housewives that have been divorced! See article and list of housewives here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/05/bethenny-frankel-divorce-_n_2416883.html

A source that says Miami will be back for a 3rd season: http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/06/3167936/insider-real-housewives-of-miami.html

I think it'll just be Atlanta and BH for awhile, which is good because 3 at a time is a bit much.. once Atlanta finishes, OC will pick up later this spring. I think Miami will get a 3rd season. Andy made a comment at the end about how he can't wait to see more from them. The reunions rated ~1.3 million each with a 0.6 in 18-49, which is in line with Top Chef/Flipping Out/Millionaire Matchmaker... so I think they'd continue with it.

Don't y'all remember seeing Portia get out of the hot tub last week? Girl has a donkey booty! Pheadra better watch out, girl has competition. I know I'm in the minority, but Portia cracks me up. She's so dumb, but so innocent about it. But I am the guy who also likes Alexis on the OC, so there you go. Anyone know why Atlanta and Shahs are moving up an hour on Sunday nights? Atlanta is now at 7pm instead of 8pm (CST)... I know these shows aren't hurting in the ratings, so what's up? I think switching might confuse people. On Miami - loved the reunions and happy they got a proper reunion this season. LOL at Mama Elsa "You be quiet number three!" Anyway - love Lisa. I think they all have a spot next year - Alexia will take over as housewife and Ana (unless she picks up a major storyline) will just be a friend of the housewives. BTW - I totally think this lady looks like a fat, 60-year old, hot mess Ramona from NYC. Look at the hair, the face... it's all there!

Lynne (OC) is filing for divorce: http://hollywoodlife.com/2012/12/29/real-housewives-of-orange-countys-lynne-curtin-files-for-divorce/ OH, and how has this not been talked about... I'm completely shocked and saddened by Bethenny/Jason's split. I thought she finally found the one, and after all those therapy sessions, I never thought she would raise a child with divorced parents. http://hollywoodlife.com/2012/12/23/jason-hoppy-bethenny-frankel-separating-divorce/

More bad news for Miami's Alexia: http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/12/22/real-housewives-of-miami-star-in-hot-water-with-irs/

Gone with the wind fabulous! LOL - that ending and rapid change of behavior was hilarious!

So next week is the season finale for Miami? Dang This season was definitely longer than Season 1, but I also feel like it was shorter than the normal NJ/ATL/NYC/OC/BH seasons. Any idea if there is a reunion this year? I'm sure there will be. I hope they let Alexia stay on the full reunion too... she had more of a role this year than Ana!

Same thing happened with Fernanda on the OC for Season 6. Peggy got the HW spot, and Fernanda was in the press as the first lesbian housewife... she was even in the professional group and single photos taken for the promos/website, and had a bio as a housewife for awhile. I think they realized she didn't give much and her role was left on the cutting room floor. I remember her big Independence party - no one went to, not even her friend Tamra.

Yeah, I remember Brandi and Adrienne meeting for coffee or lunch one late morning and being very friendly towards each other. After last week's episode in Ojai, I'm starting to see Yolanda as another Aviva. She's above the drama, rarely drinks, doesn't want to be part of the crazy antics. Oh - and what is Taylor's role this year? I think we've seen more Camille than Taylor. Aside from the scene where Taylor gets drunk and yells at Yolanda's husband, we haven't seen Taylor at all, other than being a fly at dinner parties. Have we even see one scene with Taylor alone at her house, or with a friend/family member that isn't a housewife?
