I really hope the DC girls get a Season 2, so we can actually see their own storylines. I heard that Edwina was actually the 6th Housewife - cameras followed her and everything (which is why we saw her quite a bit). But then she dropped out halfway through bc of the Salahis and the drama ruining her political image. The party she threw where Cat dressed as Sarah Palin and Edwina was rushed to the hospital - I heard that was more for show. We never saw or heard of her again after that episode. I think another difference with DC is that the drama was REAL. The Salahis really did these things, and not for show, and the reactions and fallout was all real. Unlike the ATL and NJ girls, who I think play up to the camera for show quite a bit. I forgot about the A-List - I heard about this months ago and meant to check it out when it premiered! I just set the DVR to record.

YES! Haha, spot on, although I think you might warm up to Cat later. I hated her so much the first half of the season, and by the reunion, was totally on her side and loved her. I think I just *got* her finally. The supermarket grape thing had me ROLLING too - so hilarious. I just love the DC season, maybe because it was my first and I didn't have the crazies of NJ and Atlanta to compare it to. Cheap - didn't you see a bit of Danielle (NJ) in Camille on that episode. Crazy!

Well after watching last night's RHOBV - its obvious that Camille is this series' crazy, diva villain! She at some points looked like the blond version of Danielle!

Haha, uh oh - Kim better start hitting the books again to refresh her nursing skills... looks like she won't be getting spoiled by him anymore! I think the Greg/NeNe thing happened for a few reasons: 1) The fame turned her a bit and separated them 2) Greg didn't support NeNe finding her real father and continuing that relationship 3) Greg having these shady side business deals behind her back with Dwight (shown on Season 3) and probably others 4) Greg cheating Stick with DC! It gets better - I just love those women for some reason.

I've been wondering this too! She was hilarious in Season 1 as 'substitute school nurse'. At least we get her next week! But yeah, just hate how they dropped her storyline and Mr. Schu's personal life (how do you spell his name??) haha.

I just read that Thursday night's BH episode was up 50% in all key demos and highest rated episode yet. Good news for them! Although wish DC would get better press about their ratings hikes towards the end of their season. Anyone know when Miami will start?

Ohhhhh - what is Big Poppa gonna say about this??? Bev Hills last night was just ok. I'm not bored (yet), but I can't see these ladies doing much other than having petty arguments. They are too high class and fragile (except maybe Kyle) to get physical like the Atlanta or New Jersey girls. I do love me some Lisa Vanderpump though!!!

I just (finally) saw the last episode of the OC S1 --- and I just KNEW that Lauri would scoop up Slade the second she had a chance. She was eyeing him all season when the girls would get together. She even got giddy when she heard that Jo and Slade called off their engagement. I guess Slade/Lauri didn't last though, as Lauri gets remarried and Slade is with Gretchen (?) --- I haven't seen any other season of OC, but read online. Jo sure was immature and a bitch sometimes in S1. Slade seemed so genuine and loving (I'd TOTALLY tap that), but I think from the tidbits I saw of their spin-off show, the fame got to Slade.

Is Jeana officially back as a housewife, or is she just a cameo? Did anyone catch her on Thintervention?? I couldn't believe she'd jump from OC to that show...it was pretty crazy/different.

Exactly! If these are the same parents allowing their kids to watch Glee... then there is a HUGE flaw in their logic. Glee (as awesome as it is) is NOT a show for younger teenagers. It is a show for 18-49 year olds

^Sweeeeet! I also just read that Teresa's husband and brother got into a fist fight at her nephew's Christening... more drama for Season 3 in NJ! Atlanta was a trip last night - NeNe is my girl! I loved her line about "Imagining Phaedra on a horse... *snap* NOT a good look". Phaedra is ridiculous and a horrible person, but I love watching her! She's such a character. Her baby shower was awesome and over the top.

Is that the wrap party drama with Jeana? If so, I'm scared that it wasn't filmed, bc they don't normally film wrap parties of seasons do they? Or was it the final party get together? Will be amazing though!

Being a DC fan, this is what I would like to know! DC beat BH both times they aired on the same night... with DC's ratings continuing to rise from week to week. Yet BH's ratings are some of the lowest the franchise has seen, but nothing is being reported about it. Not that I want BH to fail, I just hate how DC gets [!@#$%^&*] on.

Franchise = Atlanta. New Jersey might have the highest rated episode though. Bev Hills, like I said before, is finally what this show is really about... rich bitches who you wish you could be. lol I still really like DC - and hope they come back with a second season.

Thanks Cheap --- I'll have to look into that! Ideally I would love to start from Season 1, episode 1... but I didn't with Atlanta and I was able to get right in and watch completely out of order with no problem. I live in Texas, and I actually heard rumors that Bravo came out to Houston and Austin to do some scouting for potential housewives. Houston would have the multi-millionaire oil housewives, but Houston is so large and crowded and dirty, that producing and filming might be too hard. Austin would be perfect, but might be a bit too small. Austin is unlike any other Texas city - its more California and less Texas. Lots of movie stars have homes here, so I know they could find some housewives, but like I said, its a bit small compared to the other cities. Not sure if that would matter...

OK - I just got into these shows back in August when DC premiered. I heard all my friends rave about them, but resisted and resisted... until I couldn't resist anymore!!! With DC being my first season, and not really knowing how dramatic the other seasons were, I quite enjoyed DC as my first experience into the Housewives franchise. I thought the casting was brilliant, as you have big players with strong connections who aren't in fear of foreclosure or bankruptcy (save the Salahis, but they deserve it). I think this is the whole point of the Housewives shows, to show life as a rich, powerful snob (much like Beverly Hills will be, going back to their roots). Atlanta and New Jersey are very entertaining with their drama, but really should be on VH1 with their hijinks. They are all in bankruptcy or foreclosure... basically fake and trying to be on TV. So yes, DC isn't as popular, but I have a special place in my heart for that group of girls. I loved Stacie, Lynda, and Mary equally. Michaele brought some good drama, but they are ridiculous and are leaving (whew). I hated Cat at first, but now I really like her a lot. The reunion last night was awesome, and I can't wait for part 2 when the husbands come out. Mary is right - the Salahi's hijacked their show, bc I really would have loved to see footage of Stacie connecting with her dad (which we started to see in the first half of the season). Hopefully if Season 2 comes around, they will... although with Bev Hills and Miami and all the other higher-rated shows, I think Bravo might be on overkill with all these shows. I saw the first season of NJ on DVD - it was awesome, yet a bit dark and creepy. I love Caroline and her sons, and Dina. Jacquelinne (sp?) is a bit naive. Danielle is ridiculous and fake. Teresa is enjoyable, and I love her kids and how she loves her kids so much, but I think she's a little too pageant mom for their own good. The reunion for Season 1 was awesome, can't wait to see Season 2 on DVD if Netflix will ever carry it. I've also caught up on Atlanta through reruns of Season 1 and Season 2 on Bravo. These girls are a trip, except I think Kim and NeNe create all this fake drama bc they love to be on TV. I even heard NeNe rented that house of hers just for the show, and these women really aren't as rich, powerful as Housewives should be for these shows. Oh well... I love the new girl Phaedra (or as NeNe calls her 'Fakedra'). NeNe has some great one-liners. I just got the DVDs for Season 1 of Orange County... and man does this show look OLD. Its funny to see how the franchise started out, and now with all the high ratings and popularity, they can inject a bit more money into their production... which brings me to Beverly Hills - WOW they've changed the graphics and tone of the show. And I love how they are holding Diamonds instead of peaches or oranges in their opening shots. These girls look so plastic with their plastic surgery. Should be a good season. Netflix isn't carrying New York yet, and Bravo hasn't shown any reruns since August... so this is the only series I haven't started or seen yet. I hope to soon though, because my friends love this city the best. I'm surprised they don't go to Chicago... but Miami seems pretty logical too.

Just caught the reunion... Brooke is so stupid and in complete denial of her whore-ness. She'll never change. Saaphyri was looking GREAT and I'm so happy for her....but I got nervous when she started go off on Brooke about the white-girl comment. I thought she might get in a screaming match, which would go against the point of Charm School - especially if you're the winner. Larissa will never change, and she's doing it for TV. Her mother was just as whack - and it could be her real mother - who did look albino? Anyway, MO definitely had to do some back-tracking after stepping up to her - but I wish Mo would have just punched her out anyway. She looked like a huge gorilla coming up to Larissa's face - haha. I'm wondering what the drama was with Courtney's standup - and how that pissed off Mo. I didn't hear anything about that. I didn't even notice that Krazy wasn't there....wow. Interesting. Shatar - that girl is still a hot mess - and loved how she claims she comes from a royal bloodline. Riiiiiight. Can't wait for more Flavor of Love spinoffs!

I was happy with the outcome...it was actually very touching and I loved how Becky, Saaphryi, and Shay all cried and came together in forgiveness. There will definitely be a Season 2 - MoNique kept saying "our FIRST winner"..... And what's up with Saaphryi and Leilene having their old hairstyles in the interview parts of the show, even after the entire show....they would talk about winning and the end of the show before their makeovers....I want to get to the bottom of that. Looks like Shay and Larissa are enemies now in the Reunion - kinda sad - although I'm sure it's scripted to get their own show....or Larissa is trying to anyway. LOL at Shay calling her out on wanting to be the next New York.

Cheap - I agree with you on all the Leilene/Brooke drama. What was Brooke smoking anyway - how could she not expect to be kicked out? She was a WHORE and I hope she realizes it after watching the episode. She got nasty with Leilene for no good reason. I'm rooting for either Shay or Saaphyri. Although I think Shay is great at playing the game, I don't really think she's learned that much from Charm School.... I'm surprised we're already at the season finale!

Larissa - ok the girl has a LOT of growing up to do and is such a hater - but she brings the drama and I like it. She's not a funny bitch like New York is, but she still brings good drama. I feel bad for Leilene - but she does have a few screws loose. I couldn't believe she would give away her mother's ring just to win the competition. I love this show though! Was expecting more from NY - she was only on for like 10 min.

Yeah - I meant to ask about the punch. I thought for sure I saw and heard a punch in the back of the head. The reactions pretty much sold me on the punch too.....I guess she didn't make contact? Hmmm....shady.

Larissa has got some major problems (unless her act is all for TV). But that chick won't be lasting long with her hatin' attitude. I'm surprised Leilene is staying over Cristal. Cristal didn't really do anything this week to warrant an expulsion, unless you want to say the whining to judges thing. I just love this show - it's so funny and ridiculous.

WORD! I agree with everything Cheap. I loved how brave and willing Dara was to do this - and she totally worked her walk. I felt bad too when she was crying and being cut down. I totally forgot about Nibblz! If anyone needed to be on this show, she is it. I wonder if they tried to get her.... Goldie is great and was very professional doing her judge job. She is no where near as trashy as these other girls.

I was LOL'ing the entire hour - especially when Dara was being taped and then the curtain drama and finally the feathers on the eyelashes! hahaha Glad to see Jennifer go home - she barely said a word all season. I didn't understand why she was there - she is hopeless. And she didn't understand why she was leaving? hahah get a clue girl. Looking forward to next week...

Oh Good God - I can't wait for next week - did you SEE Like Dat all taped up? GROSS!!!! haha Anyway - I really didn't understand the Bottom 3 - I guess they are basing their performance on the actual competitions and not 24/7 actions around the house. Because I definitely expected to see Pumpkin down there after all the crazy un-lady-like crap she did tonight. Not sad to see Krazy leave...she's ridiculous with her whole 'Neveah' crap. Seriously. And I can't believe Bootz is only 22! I didn't realize she was so young - that means she was making out and getting gross with Flav when she was either 20 or 21. Nasty. And yes, she's a MAJOR hater.
