I HATED David Gail as Joe

Ditto. Horrible and unnecesary recast. I loved him on Savannah but he was so wrong for Joe and I hated how much of an ass they made the character

I wasn't watching very often when he was on. I started back because I heard good things about the show again and I wanted to tune back in (which I did, although unfortunately by the time I did Karen Harris was gone and the telenovela stuff was on the way). I saw a little of him. I thought he was OK, although I preferred Michael Dietz. I never understood why they recast. Edgy doesn't automatically = better. Then there was the last Joe recast, who was OK, but somehow became Latino?

Alex Mendoza. The Scanlons were a traditional Irish Catholic family. That pretty much helped define them. Their herritage was a big part of them and they go and cast a latino in the role. Its not like he could have pulled it off either bc he did look hispanic. Total miscast but by that point I really didnt care much about Joe anymore

Beverly Hills

Did you guys watch the BH premiere? OMG, these bitches put ALL the other housewives to shame. Think of it this way....the other shows were more Desperate Housewives. BH is DYNASTY! They are not just rich. They are filthy rich. The other housewives have porsches and ferraris. The BH women have private jets! They dont simply have big houses; they have mansions and estates! This show embraces the glamour and the high end lifestyle none of the other seasons before. Here are my thoughts on them

Kyle - I love her! So far she's my favorite. I love how wild and fun she is, yet practical. Anyone else think she looks alot like Demi Moore? They could be twins

Kim - I like her but its so obvious she is out of place. Its sad how she has such a hard time socializing with others but I hoep she can let her guard down enough to allow herself to be friends with the other women. Too bad it looks like this will cause her trouble in the upcoming episodes

Taylor - Dont care for her. Im having a hard time watching her bc her face is way too botoxed and messed with. Its sad how she paranoid and scared she is that her husband will trade her in for someone younger and bc of this she's had so much work down.

Camille - My 2nd favorite. I really like her but feel sad for her bc she's going on about how great her marriage is to Kelsey Grammer and they've since split and he has a new girlfriend.

Lisa - I love her english accent. She's the Joan Collins of the season! Definetly the most fabulous and posh of the group.

Adrienne - She's another one, who's faced annoys me. Its way too plastic and considering her husband is a plastic surgeon, that shouldnt be a surprise

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...

Well they wouldnt have to do a Texas city...they'd do the whole state. In the same way they did New Jersy, bc NJ has small cities and its not all nice. Plus it doesnt have any famous city aside from maybe Atlantic City and thats a tourist attraction that screams cheap and trashy bc of the gambling. Real Housewives of Texas would be fine enough

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.

The show went into syndication last month. Its airing on NBC packaged with Days in major cities. I was upset when my NBC affiliate wasnt carrying it but randomly flipping through channels last week, I saw its on My Network, so you may want to check that as well.

I wonder if they would consider going to Texas next. Thats one part of the country not represented. Im sure theres some rich oil family wives that would die to be on this

Phaedra gets the quote of the night! "I love me some Kandi, but I keep thinking Dwight just might get jumped by these crazy heffers besides us" LMAO!

Cynthia is alright but she doesnt bring as much energy to the show as Phaedra does. I fear she may be another DeShaun, which is kinda needed among the crazy. I hated her hair in the beginning at the park. She needs to keep it slicked back or put a weave on bc she looks much better both ways.

What was NeNe doing wearing hot pink nail polish? With her hair color, skin tone, and color of her clothes, it just did not look good on her

I loved it. Definetly the best.

Love Sam. Man he has some big lips. Boy is cute and I love him and Quinn

I love the sequence when Blake got his memory back, it is a literal example of melodrama: drama set to music. Starting about 2:45 this clip just lets music do the narrating.

I HATED her hair that season

Well she better get that house sold, because that mortgage has got to be huge. There are so many clothing lines now you never know if it tanked or not. She probably needs to skip the acting lessons and save her money unless bravo is paying.

I did a google search for her and the first thing that came up was broke...lol. Apparently according to this article, she owes over $180K in lawyer fees. Her old home went into forecloseure last year and the house she is in id actually a downgrade from that. She's on tv now so she needs to keep up the appearance that she's well off and not broke. I think all the girls are in competition and try to outdo each other. Its why she will continue to buy expensive things when she knows she needs to be going to Target

I thought the D.C. finale was actually pretty good. I didn't follow the Salahi mess in real time so having "gotten to know them a little" it was more interesting watching it play out. See, I thought they got the show BECAUSE they'd crashed the WH, I didn't realize that happened while they were already taping!

IA. The last 2 episodes were much better than the entire season. I cant stand the Salahis. They are the Heidi and Spencer of DC. Famewhores to the max. They annoyed me how they kept answering with the same response at the hearing. Too bad they have not paid for that and I hope they do. I felt bad for Cat to lose her invite to the white house. Her marriage ended partly bc of teh shenanigans of this show bc it had an impact on her husband's career. I also thought it was very cowardly how they just left Stacie's house without saying goodbye.

If this show comes back for another season, they need to make some changes. They need to drop Lynda and Mary as housewives. I like them but they are boring and dont add much. Stacie is kinda tame as well but I dont think it should lose more than half its cast. I do like he friend Erica, and she needs to be bumped up to housewife status. She brings more drama. They need to bring someone new who isnt as uppity and sophisticated as the other women. Someone who's sexual, loud and the one they talk behind her back. Michaele brings the drama but she is way too fake and plastic.

I am loving that the Atlanta housewives are back, they are my FAVE.

Nene was just so damn hilarious in the first episode. When she was all up in Dwight's face about the $10,000 I was rolling. Dwight needs to sit his ass down talking about he is a tiger, he knows he was scared of Nene. I would be too, if a woman that tall and intimidating was in my face.

Sheree really wasn't too entertaining today. Nothing can top her argument with the party planner.

Phaedra is already my fave, I can't wait to see if some [!@#$%^&*] goes down between her and Nene. I loved when she said Sheree had no money. LMAO. Her husband is sexy as hell, but I think he is using her. Just because he signed a prenup doesn't mean he can't spend your money WHILE he is married to you.

I wonder why the other new chick was on, I think they will try to portray as the "sweetheart" this season, and let Kandi's true colors come out. I heard she was a major [!@#$%^&*]-starter last season, but alot of the editing cut that out.

Speaking of Kandi, I barely realized she was in the episode, I didn't like the guy she was with though.

Don't miss Lisa at all, glad she's gone.

Is Victoria Rowell still supposed to be appearing?

I TOTALLY called this with my friends a few weeks ago, I knew Miami was obviously the next place to go to. Can't wait.

Yay another Phaedra fan! I loved that comment about her talking to Dwight about not suing Sheree bc she aint got no money....lol. I love the energy she brings to the show and it looks like she will get into it later on with NeNe. I think NeNe is jealous and does not like new people stepping on her territory. Its how she was with Kandi last year.

Cynthia, the new girl, looked a bit whiny in the previews and I think she will be the good girl. I like Kandi, so Im not sure how Im gonna like her being potrayed as a biyatch if true.

Victoria hinted that she could appear as a recurring housewife. Im not sure if that will actually happen though. I hope she makes at least one appearance. Her type of crazy is needed on this show...lol

I just started watching ATL version last season how the hell is Sheree broke per Phaedra when she has a clothing line and that huge house?

just bc someone has a nice house doesnt mean they arent broke. She's been struggling with her ex husband to pay her child support and she doesnt have a steady job. Her fashion line didnt do all that well. Plus alot of these people on these reality shows put on a show to make themselves look more luxurious and wealthier than they actually are.

I thought the last episode was kinda boring

WHAT! Phaedra is awesome. Im looking forward to her drama with NeNe

Finally the REAL housewives have returned. I am talking about the fabulous Atlanta cast of course and I needed them bc the DC women are boring the heck out of me. How great was the premiere? It did NOT disapoint

NeNe

Im surprised that Greg was still on the show. I heard about the problems in their marriage and thought it would open up with NeNe alone. I never liked Dwight so Im glad she is on the outs with him. I dont know why she's back to being friensd with Kim. Its the same story every season. They start off as friends but become bitter enemies by the end, only to patch things up over the break and back as friends next season

Kim

Bisexual? Okay. I think she's doing this for attention and puiblicity. From the previews, it looks like NeNe is ready to kill her again....not surprised. I cant beleive she is still going on about Tardy for the Party. Im sick of that song

Sheree

Actress? LMAO when she said she sees herself winning an Oscar someday. I hope she brings some drama this season as she's toned down quite a bit

Kandi

Im not a fan of her new red hair. I preferred the color last season. Im glad to see her doing well and picking herself up from the tragedy she suffered last season. I dont like the new guy she's dating and dont think he's a good match for her.

Phaedra

LOVE her. Excellent casting. I think she has an interesting story and I love how ladylike and proper she is and how she looks down on NeNe and her ghettoness. I couldnt beleive NeNe was trashing her when she showedup at the party. She really had some ugly words to say to her. Plus Phaedra is cool with Dwight so thats another oppurtunity for some drama which it looks like we will get later in the season. Her husband is FINE and the other women commenting on his legal issues is gonna be another source of drama

New girl

I dont even remember her name as she didnt appear. She is beautiful and I hope she has as much potential as Phaedra does

I loved Lisa and upset that she's gone. I hate how she's just cut and there was no transition. I hope she makes a guest appearance later in the season showing up to an event or something

I hate that Soapnet never aired repeats of Loving/The City. It seemed so obvious especially when the network first launched and they didnt have much content

what did people think of Heather Rattray who played a recast Lily for 4 years in the early 90s? Would people have preferred she return when Martha left or did they end up preferring Noelle over Heather?

Speaking of Noelle, I know people would rather have had Martha but was Noelle herself as Lily hated? Did people eventually coming around to at least accepting her? From what I saw, she wasnt bad at all and I think some of the animositiy against her was simply bc she wasnt Martha. She seemed good as an actress and was a decent Lily to me

Its official. Braco is bringing the franchise to Miami. They may have jumped the shark though bc one of the "housewives" cast is a drag queen

http://www.popcrunch.com/real-housewives-of-miami-will-feature-drag-queen/

I loved the last episode. The "Im a Slave 4 U", "....Baby One More Time" and "Me Against the Music" videos were VERY well done. Im impressed

Ben and Maria?! Cheap, say it ain't so!

JMO, I know, but I thought Christina Chambers made the drippiest Maria.

Christina Chambers is part of the reason I became a fan. I started watching in the summer of 1998. Shockwave drew me in and the Dana story kept me thre. I loved the mystery behind her and I was such a Maria fan. She was my first favorite. I rooted for her over Meg. I really liked her friendship wtih Annie bc they were such polar opposites and Annie really needed her. Overall Maria was a great character and Id have prefered Ben with her over Meg

I loved Ben and Meg as a kid. Any couple that was good and decent was the one that I was rooting for.

Nowadays it's more team Annie.

I don't hate Meg and Ben as much as some people do, they're fine by me.

Ben and Maria were much more appealing to me. I couldnt stand Meg. The only time she was likeable was when they recasted her with Sydney Penny. That was such an odd choice but she made it work

I love this show but I unfortuantely didnt get into it until the second half. The Shockwave story was what drew me in and I watched till the very end after that

Joan Collins was such a bitch. I loved how she thought she was really Alexis off the set...lol

"Well if she wanted to be Alexis Carrington, she needed to lose a few pounds. Sorry Esther"

Not sure if this has been discuss but weren't Sable and her sister cousins to Alexis and her sister? If so, Fallon and Jeff were cousins, too, right? Also which one of sable's kids was not a colby? I remember something like this when I use to watch on soapnet.

its been discussed for 30 years....lol. Yes Jeff and Fallon are cousins via the two women you mentioned. Monica was revealed to not be Jason Colby's child. Its presumed that extended to Miles considering tehy were twins

Is it just me or is DC rather boring?

I like Lynda and the British one (is her name Cat?)...but the rest are just so dull. Michaele reminds me of Morgan Fairchild if she'd never been born with a sense of humor and on speed.

Looking forward to Atlanta, should be terrific.

And lest we forget, Beverly Hills is on its way. That one is going to be stupendous.

No I mentioned it a few days ago. It is very boring. I like Stacie and Mary, but if they get another season, they'd be the first to go. They are boring, too nice and avoid confrontation. I cant stand Cat, but she speaks her mind and at least causes some drama. Michaele and her husband are the Heidi and Spencer of DC. She is just too over the top and fake

I HATE all the political talk. Yes its DC, but I feel like Im watching a tamed down episode of the View. I dont need to hear about Obama and Palin every episode and the women offering their opinions on the government

I also think the women picked were wrong for this type of show. They are too classy. On Atlanta, they got some ghetto fabulous girls, NJ has trash, etc... but the DC women try to act too sophisticated and it doesnt work. Lynda was talking one episode about etiqutte and proper manners. No, I want to see some hair pulling, name cussing and sojme drama. So far the disputes have been rather lame. Mary's daughter posted a Facebook message about stealing a car, Lyndsa insinuated that Michaele was anorexic, Stacie was offended that Cat doesnt like Tyra banks.....BORING!

OMG I love The Real Housewives of NJ and Atlanta

On NJ, I can't stand that bitch named Danielle she really needs to get a life with her ugly ass lol

Yay! Another Housewives fan to post with. Welcome to the boards. Atlanta is startnig up again in a few weeks. That should be interesting

His sister-in-law as in this woman's sister, or his brother's wife? In any event, that's some juicy [!@#$%^&*] right there!

Theresa's brothers wife. Theresa apparently does NOT like her and Im sure these rumors dont help. I read that Theresa held off on signing to be on Season 3 bc she heard the sister in law was going to be in it, but really she cant afford not to do the show considering she's 11 million in bankruptcy. That season most definetly will be explosive

Atlanta needs to hurry up and start bc DC is super boring.
