alwaysAMC

Ironically, if this is true, then she'd be very relevant this season! Haha. I'd die if that's true though. This show literally started on Scheana's relevancy, but that was the peak and it fell off rapidly from there.

So excited - looks good!!! Sheana was shown verrrry briefly in 3 different spots, but yes, doesn't seem like she's driving story at all. She's in the main cast photo, so she's a regular contract player. Could be her last season though...

Y'all - calm the hell down. It was cute, simple and fun. I personally found a lot of joy in at least something mainstream still talking about All My Children. No other soap was featured on this show that featured a ton of past and present TV shows. It wasn't advertised as this big hour-long, expensive reboot or reunion. As a huge AMC fan, I thought it was fun to watch and made me nostalgic. Why be so sour and mean?

You need to get Dallas in there!! It's in the first category for me. Overall though, I tend to agree - I like the analogy to soaps - it's very true. My order would be this: 1. NYC, Dallas, and Potomac 2. ATL and OC (OC fell out of the first category about 2 seasons ago) 3. NJ and BH

Agreed on Dallas - loved this week's episode. Mamma Dee is everything for me. The OC ladies are posting pics of the reunion on their Instagram. Looks like it was probably pretty positive. Vicki, Tamra and Shannon all posted pics of the three of them and captioned them with "Tres Amigas" and "Love my girls", etc. - so it looks like those three are still close and survived the reunion. One picture of all of them eluded to the following seating chart: Gina-Kelly-Tamra-ANDY-Shannon-Vicki-Emily Emily's dress is horrendous. Vicki's is too. Everyone else looks really good, especially Shannon - she's dropped the weight.

Megyn Kelly is sparking backlash on blackface comments... and those comments were in regards to Luann as Diana Ross. Luann always has a way of finding herself in the news, whether she likes it or not. 😜 http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/megyn-kelly-sparks-backlash-with-%e2%80%98blackface%e2%80%99-comments/ar-BBOMZBP?ocid=ientp

New Jersey taglines and intro: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-9-taglines-revealed/ A bit boring and average to me. Margaret has the best, especially the way she delivers it. She's also front and center with Teresa (in front of Melissa and Delores)... that's interesting, she must have a big presence this season.

Those Nene pictures aren't coming through, but I did see this morning that Nene was tweeting really positive things about Kenya - and how she really thinks Bravo made a mistake by not letting her be a housewife, etc. Did she change her tune in the last 24 hours or was that more of her being sarcastic?

Kameron was on WWHL and it was probably the most I've ever liked her - she looked different, but gorgeous (they kept comparing her to Nicole Kidman). She was very chill and easy to talk to, not nervous or naive. You could tell that Andy really enjoyed her and he also said he's loving this season of Dallas. Bodes well for a potential Season 4. I still don't see Cary doing much. I think Mama Dee had more talking heads this episode than Cary did haha.

Speaking of - Heather Dubrow is on WWHL tonight, ironically enough. We’ll have a good sense of how much Andy does or does not like her I think...

Dallas is good, but not as good as Season 2... but that's ok! Something about Brandi and LeeAnne's hatred of Brandi just cracks me up. Brandi coming to the Black Tie event drunk, about to fall asleep, swaying and asking LeeAnne how she's doing multiple times - ! Is Cary doing anything this season? I feel like she's a friend - she's barely featured on any episode.

Beverly Hills scoop: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-cast-is-not-talking-to-lisa-vanderpump/ Surprised by the Kyle/Todd scream-fest.

Oh!! LeeAnne also said that D’Andra physically assaults her later in the season. I can’t remember if that was in the trailer or not, but she said “just you wait, she’ll be getting hers come reunion time”.

Y'all - I went to an LGBT gala in Austin last night and LeeAnne and Rich were there (eye patch and all). I talked to her about housewives for a good 10 minutes and got some intel. She was so open and funny. She and D'Andra are not on speaking terms and she's very upset about what D'Andra said on WWHL about owning a balloon stand as her highest point in her career. She said D'Andra thinks she's the star of the show and LeeAnne said "Bitch, I started this show in season 1 and we got a second season before you even joined, so you can sit your ass down". She said she coined the term 'Mama Dee' but she said and I quote "I'm not above taking that 77 year old bitch down". I think she was probably hamming it up a bit with me, but she kept talking about how she hates D'Andra and Brandi - they're both bitches. She said she likes Stephanie when she's away from Brandi. She also said she doesn't know why ratings are so low and apparently they're lower this season so far than last season. They had their best ratings when Southern Charm was their lead-in, but once that ended, they've gone down. She doesn't know why but said Bravo is trying. I told her I know many people that love the show and we support it

They've suspended Michael Darby from filming and are distancing him from the show... wonder if this will have an impact on Ashley. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/bravo-suspends-michael-darby-real-housewives-of-the-potomac-amid-sexual-assault-allegation-1202962175/

Does this mean that Gretchen is going against Alexis then? Wouldn't anyone supporting Jim in this case be going against Alexis? I thought Gretchen and Alexis were good friends, unless I'm misremembering...

OC mid-season trailer was released and it actually looks pretty entertaining: https://www.etonline.com/rhoc-midseason-trailer-shows-shannon-beador-demanding-cameras-to-stop-filming-exclusive-110175 Of course it's mostly the vets - Emily is MIA and Gina says two funny things.

If I remember correctly, Southern Charm: New Orleans premiered really well because it had a strong lead-in (RHOA?), but ratings tumbled throughout the season. I think those averages are pretty skewed. The second Savannah season just ended and those ratings were terrible, so not expecting to see a third season. I’m surprised Flipping Out isn’t up there, considering it gets renewed every year.

In case anyone cares, BH's Carlton is getting a divorce: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-carlton-gebbia-david-gebbia-divorce-finalized

Looks good overall, but Delores and Danielle are MIA in that trailer. One of the newbies looks like and reminds me of Jacqueline. The other looks like Kyra Sedgwick... haha.

Porsha is pregnant. Dolores is confirmed as a S9 NJ housewife (Margaret was confirmed yesterday, so I guess they're revealing daily).

Barbara seems to be the new official NYC housewife. I'm surprised Bravo would hire her given that she took them to court during Season 9: https://people.com/tv/construction-ceo-barbara-kavovit-real-housewives-of-new-york-city/

Looks like Bravo may release a NJ soon, or at least premiere NJ before the new year. They're slowly announcing official housewives, with Margaret being the first confirmed. http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-9-cast-includes-margaret-josephs

According to Nene on her Instagram, the photo was leaked and is not official. She said the picture is terrible and they wouldn’t dare release something so low quality. Hmmm....

The RHONYBravo insta account just announced that NYC Season 11 filming has begun... with a picture of Ramona, Dorinda, Tinsley and Sonja all appearing in the candid photo. Interesting...
