I was surprised that Juliet didn't get a proper 'intro' for the season. What has she been up to - what's her home life like right now? She just popped up at a party at the end of the episode. That Adela had more screen time! haha My heart was breaking for Marissa and her husband. Had no idea that was happening.

I'm surprised they haven't released the BH taglines or intro yet. It's a week away!

^^Hahaha, I have to agree with the Dallas girls. I lived in Houston for a year and HATED it. I live in Austin now (halfway between Dallas and Houston) - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Austin is by far the best city in Texas

They aired the first two episodes last night. That Cindy Rose and her daughter are something else... they remind me of a Kim G.

I actually really enjoyed the Houston version! I'm not sure why it's DOA?? It's fresh. It's diverse AF - a white girl, a black girl, a Persian girl, an Indian girl, and an Asian. Ashandra and her hubby are so cute. I also went to college with Erika's husband... had NO idea he was in this show.

There has been ZERO promo for Houston... and they're burning off 2 episodes this Friday already. They must really not like how this show turned out hahaha.

^I thought it was even more hilarious when production used that far away shot from Jac in her car for her finale closing picture with the update. So funny.

OC: That finale was sad. Where were the other OC ladies that normally show up for the final party? This season just wasn't that great other than the Ireland trip. They need to shake up the cast next year. You know Shannon, Tamra and Heather aren't going anywhere, but Andy better make them calm down and just go along with dealing with Vicki. I really don't want another season of S/T/H vs. Vicki/Kelly. It's too vile and off putting. BH: That trailer looks great!!! So many parties and trips. Does this mean we have 2 new housewives - Eden and Dorit?? That picture they're revealing only makes it seem like 1 new housewife, but the trailer featured both pretty heavily. Looks like a season full of Erika, which I'm ok with - I love her.

I'm happy for Sheree --- but I just can't stand all those power lines blocking every picture of the house. Big pet peeve of mine. I love that so many people were there - surprised about Peter - it seems like Cynthia is totally separated from him, but maybe he's still friends with some of the guys.

I'm guessing Luann won't get a wedding special since they're already filming Season 9, so I guess they'll feature the wedding festivities on Season 9. This weekend she's having her bachelorette party in Miami. She posted a pic on IG of her, Jill and Marysol (RHOM)! I hope this means Jill may be back for Luann's wedding stuff??? Bethenny is in the Hamptons, so she's not there filming. Not sure on the other girls.

NJ - not sure how much of this is real or for the cameras, but apparently Amber cheated on Jim with a woman. This doesn't even look like Amber in the picture: http://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/marriage-boot-camps-amber-marchese-reveals-i-cheated-on-jim-w447366 More IG pics of Teresa and Danielle doing yoga together this week...

Here's the trailer for the NJ reunion - 2 parts - I can't believe some of the places these ladies are going!!! http://www.eonline.com/news/805287/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-reunion-trailer-is-full-of-explosive-allegations-tears-and-fighting-words

The one in the middle definitely looks like Erika, which I love. I can't figure out if the right one is Eillen - the one sitting down doesn't look like her to me, but I could totally be wrong haha. I guess we'll find out one more today!

Can't wait to see the OC - wasn't able to watch last night. Lisa Rinna confirmed on IG yesterday that they just wrapped filming. Hopefully this means we get a trailer soon.

No word on Bethenny, but this article confirms Luann, Ramona and Dorinda (and confirm Jules is out). http://www.realitytea.com/2016/10/21/real-housewives-new-york-season-9-starts-filming-dorinda-medley-dishes-regrets/ I follow Bethenny on Snapchat and she spent yesterday in the Hamptons and I didn't see other housewives with her, so maybe she's still negotiating, or maybe she's just not filming yet with L/R/D.

NYC started filming Season 9 today. Luann posted that on Instagram, so looks like she's back. Couldn't tell from the other girls' accounts.

I was going to say, hasn't Shannon been first seat every year now? Between the 80s party meltdown, the Ireland meltdown, the mother-in-law drama, and her feud with Vicki being the most damaging (Tamra/Heather sort of got over it, and I'm sure they will again).... i would say Shannon came with more drama. Unless I'm forgetting something, Tamra just punched (pushed?) Kelly and worked out a lot. Heather - nothing. She's been building that damn house for 3 seasons now.

You guys... Teresa Guidice just posted a photo on Instagram... she's with Danielle Staub doing yoga. Caption reads "So good catching up with @‌Danielle_staub. Leaving the past in the past and moving forward with only positive vibes. Looking forward to the future." I'm guessing Danielle is really coming back next season...maybe Teresa is finally seeing that NJ ratings have tanked and her Bravo money may come to an eventual end, sooner than later. Suck it up girl, you've got several little daughters to raise and Joe is in jail... if you lose Bravo, which means losing any good endorsements going forward, are her cookbooks really going to get them through?

I wonder what the seating arrangement will be for the OC. I have to imagine Shannon, Tamra and Heather are on one side and Vicki, Kelly and Megan on the other (in that order).... you just know that Tamra/Shannon/Heather are all going to fight for the prime seat next to Andy, but who is relegated to the end of the couch. Logical choice is Heather, but I could see her complaining heavily about that.

The Beverly Hills ladies have been in Hong Kong this week. I saw both Lisa's, Kyle and Erika in Instagram videos. I'm guessing we won't get a promo video for awhile?

I'm finally catching up on my Housewives... NJ - am I the only one that actually gets what Jacqueline is saying and thinks she's right? Hahaha... I'm really over Teresa and Melissa. I heard they filmed the reunion yesterday - no Kathy, Rosie, Robyn, etc - just the housewives... and it was Teresa/Melissa vs. Jacq. Same sh!t, different day. Melbourne - this season was literally everything and is probably top 3 housewives seasons of all time. I'm very surprised they've decided to postpone Season 4 to give Sydney a chance. Not smart when the momentum is so high...

I just read that Kandi and Todd were with Cynthia and Peter on the Hawaiian flight they were kicked off of... since when are Cynthia and Peter vacationing together???

Other than the Kandi stuff, this season looks dull. Am I the only one?? Oh and look, it's Porsha involved in another brawl *eye roll* She really learns her lesson huh?

Miami's Alexia's recent ex-husband passed away today: http://www.eonline.com/news/797648/real-housewives-of-miami-s-herman-echevarria-found-dead RIP

They could easily advance the storyline and focus on character-driven storylines and interspecies drama within the Alpha and Gamma quadrants.... another DS9, but smarter now that we have wonderful TV shows to emulate like BSG.
