^Kandi vs. Phaedra... and all of Kandi's side stories... Block/Riley (which btw was so uncomfortable to watch and completely unfair to Riley - not a good look, Kandi)...Johnnie and the lawsuit... bringing Apollo's girlfriend to the OLG opening... speaking of OLG, what happened with Mama Joyce - she was strong in the first part of this season and then completely dropped out? And then Phaedra's bomb "scare". Just seems like so many weird, crazy events that production just said 'keep going'... This season was good though - completely proves that you don't need Nene to survive.

NYC was so fun last night - I'm glad we have these ladies back! They don't allow this show to go back to toxic (like S4)... and they still know how to make it lighthearted, even though we're dealing with serious sh!t like infidelity, drugs, etc.

I totally agree - NJ doesn't excite me at all. Last season was terrible. Danielle returning doesn't even excite me since I know she's friendly with Teresa and Siggy/Dolores are never going to be dramatic - they're dull peacemakers. Just sounds boring. The Teresa/Melissa/Joe saga bores me to tears.

Jac confirms she's not returning to NJ: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jacqueline-laurita-confirms-she-wont-be-returning-to-rhonj-w474770

Y'all see the news about Peter and Matt brawling? http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/rhoas-peter-thomas-matt-jordan-brawl-during-radio-interview-w473387

Some terrible NJ news... prayers to families and for answers... http://www.eonline.com/news/837135/real-housewives-of-new-jersey-star-kim-depaola-s-car-is-scene-of-double-murder

Oh Lisa Rinna - you need to quit. Calling Dorit a pu$$y with a capital P? Girl, you were the biggest pu$$y 2-3 weeks ago. Stop it.

I love how the Beverly Hills women always take lavish international trips... Paris, Amsterdam, Greece, Dubai, Hong Kong... yet the other US shows always go to Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean, etc. I guess NYC did go to London and Morocco, but still.... it's so funny to me.

Well, this threw me for a loop... Meghan is actually returning as an OC housewife now: http://www.realitytea.com/2017/03/10/meghan-edmonds-will-return-real-housewives-of-orange-county/ It almost sounds like this current season isn't gelling, although I can't imagine Meghan returning would help anything. I hope we're in for a good OC season!!

Did y'all notice they're doing a Real Housewives of Bangkok? It'll be the first Asian version of the show. Interesting... https://www.rapidtvnews.com/2016120945378/top-chef-real-housewives-head-to-thailand.html#axzz4apq54Sxm

I loved seeing a little of Erika's background tonight. LVP is way more likable and tolerable on Vanderpump Rules. Either she's over BH housewives or her true colors just come out from time to time. I think she cares at least 1% about Rinna, but she clearly couldn't give an F about Eileen. That Hong Kong invite was just awkward and rude. Although I will say, Eileen may be sweet in real life, but she's boring me to pieces this season. I think it's time to cut her loose. Happy for Kim - she genuinely seems happy and sober right now. I know I'm in the minority here, but Camile just bores me to tears too. She's sweet, but brings nothing this season as a FOH. I want sinister Season 1 Camille back, or at least Season 3. Really, if I didn't love Erika so much, and without her, this season would be another flop. BH needs to let loose and be more like the OC and NYC. BH is too tightly guarded, and when a housewife or two are not (Brandi, the sex witch), it implodes.

NYC Season 9 Trailer: http://www.eonline.com/news/834030/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city-season-9-trailer-has-everything-jill-zarin-streaking-and-plenty-of-breakdowns Looks like Jill and Heather are making appearances and Sonja is back to boozing. I love the music in this trailer - looks like another wild season. Can't wait - returns early April!

Oh yeah, I hate their new branding - it doesn't fit the Bravo shows AT ALL. Kelly Dodd is confirmed: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/vicki-gunvalson-kelly-dodd-returning-for-rhoc-season-12-w468678 Also, Erika is joining DWTS: http://www.eonline.com/news/831624/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-star-erika-girardi-joins-dancing-with-the-stars-season-24-cast

Did anyone notice the Potomac preview they aired during BH this week? They're playing Return of the Mack (Mac) and then saying "Once you go Mac, you never go back" hahahaha omg. So dumb!

Thank you!! I'll give this a try. I still can't get over how much Cheshire's Dawn looks like Elizabeth Hurley... I feel like I'm watching The Royals haha. I really hope Melbourne is filming again. I heard they took a break to make way for Sydney.... but hopefully with Sydney airing soon, this means Melbourne is filming. I love those ladies! Well, most of those ladies...

Good to know about the Opera House! Thanks, y'all! Has anyone found a way to watch Aukland online for free? I missed that one. I also never got to see Vancouver, but sounds like that ended in a mess anyway? I'm not caught up on Cheshire either - Bravo dropped it after Season 1 it seems.

I'm surprised Sydney isn't using the iconic Opera House. I get the bridge too, but why not both? Maybe they couldn't get permission or something. Athena X? Hahaha, oh lord.

^ I died at the '2 minutes ago' thing too! I also loved how they had everyone say "Who said that", one after the other... it was so funny. Marlo went real low with that mother comment to Kenya. I really can't wait to see Phaedra get her comeuppance. This preview has my gagging - we're in for so much more this season! It seems like Atlanta just lasts year-round nowadays.

It's official - Lydia is returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/rhocs-lydia-mclaughlin-returning-for-season-12-details-w465072

Ahh interesting... well that's positive if Andy likes it. I bet they do want to try to get it to stand strong without Atlanta. Makes sense to to have NYC/Potomac go together this Spring... then what, Dallas/OC with NJ maybe coming in halfway through this summer? Will Bravo please play Cheshire (they only aired Season 1!)... and then Aukland?

I liked Lydia too. Her husband was hot if I remember correctly. Her mom had beef with Vicki's son-in-law. Could be interesting! Random, but do we know much about Potomac Season 2? I haven't heard a peep other than Katie isn't filming, which was announced early last year. They premiered in January last year and aired after Atlanta, which really helped with their ratings. At this rate, it doesn't look like they'll be ready before Atlanta finishes... can they hold their own without a strong lead-in? I guess they could always be paired with Shahs of Sunset, which I expect out this Spring or Summer.

I'm really excited about the possibilities with the OC. I agree we need a former housewife back. Lizzie would be good. We didn't get enough of her IMO, so i never had strong feelings about her either way, but I wasn't bored with her... if that makes sense. I may be the only one, but I think Laurie would be a great choice. She stirred up so much sh!t when she returned a few seasons ago. I also love that she's an original and her family drama with Josh and her daughter was interesting. Anyone watching Celebrity Apprentice this season? I hate to say this, but I'm actually enjoying Porsha on this show. She's fun and bubbly. She's actually pretty creative and smart too, at least moreso than I originally thought. She puts in the work. Kyle is also good on the show - they didn't mention once her connection to the Hiltons though, which I thought was odd.

I'm shocked that Heather is leaving, especially since it seems like it was her decision. I agree, she's never met a camera she doesn't like. I bet we see her back in the future.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! OC News: Tamra is returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/tamra-judge-returning-to-real-housewives-of-orange-county-w462764 Meghan is not returning: http://www.usmagazine.com/news/meghan-king-edmonds-not-returning-to-rhoc-for-season-12-w463016
