Gray Bunny

Gosh, I felt and said the same thing watching last night. She gave genuinely fun and funny moments ("somebody come and fold me back up, cuz I am OPEN"). It felt like the good-time old-school RHOA with her moments, and her and Porsha on the bed.

I still think the reason why Kenya was fired was because the big shocking reveal was done outside the parameters of Housewives. If it had been done in a self-contained environment, a Dinner Party from Hell: Part 867 type of situation, they could've handled it with their own editing and behind the scenes scolding. I mean, didn't SLC's Mary call Lisa's son retarded or something? Yet we never saw the light of day on that and it didn't ever get a mention.

Oh fun! I'm glad to you got to see her in action. She puts on a fun, boozy show. We've seen her twice and I was able to ask her a question during the audience Q&A session. I love how she can make fun of herself and just be carefree. I agree about the lemon brunch, and it really showed how this is a completely different cast from the previous season (sorry, I always forget Drew's been there a few years; she's just so... irrelevant). If this is their ultimate goal, they've handled the hand-off much better than the total reboot debacle that was RHONY. Agreed on BH too; this can easily be fixed. They have plenty of former housewives they could bring back and/or bring on fresh faces. They can go on forever like OC if they handle it correctly and let go of their dead weight.

So, so true. She was the Greek chorus calling out the clownery.

I felt so bad for her. Man, you could tell even before Part 3 that she knew she was DONE with this mess of a show after that day. My hubby was cussing Dorit out left and right. Meanwhile, you had Good-Bi Kyle all but coming out, yet correcting Andy when he tried to relate, saying he remembered how it was when he came out "Oh, I didn't say I came out" Good-Bi Kyle responded. I'm all about people coming to terms with their sexuality on their own, but the double-talk and innuendos were obnoxious. I do *love* Jennifer Tilly, but I get what you guys are saying about her getting dragged down into the mud if she were to return next season. I'd rather see her go back to acting and do something silly and fun with Jennifer Coolidge or something. Overall, Part 3 felt icky, but I loved hearing Garcelle's words at the end in her dressing room (was that a motel they were all getting glammed up at?). She's right about all of them. Damn. After Lisa Vanderpump, she was my favorite. I would've much rather we had Garcelle stay, Vanderpump return, and the 3 remaining coven members take a hike. ... Oh, and STFU about Terri, who STILL takes time to makes digs against people like Garcelle for not reaching out to her during her cancer treatments. Y'all aren't friends! I wouldn't reach out either. Meanwhile, Dorit's dumbass who supposedly is friends with Terri said she'll reach out after the storm has settled on Terri's recovery. Any good friend knows they need support during the hellish time. Ugh. End of rant

These housewives really need to lay off the face filters. LOL. Adrienne looks like one of her son’s girlfriends 😆

Which is weird since the entire full-time cast (minus Porsha) was at last night's outdoor dinner gathering. That's your cast. If you're not gelling with any of them, "Why are you even here?" (© Mariah Huq) Ha, I am finding this current ATL season both interesting and also quite disjointed, with all the newbies and part-time vets. Granted, the Kenya mess threw a wrench in everything, but something is just off. Some of it comes from Porsha's life and what she chooses to show to fit her own narrative. I also find Drew to be, just, there. She doesn't seem to be bonding with any of the new girls, and at last night's dinner they were all New + Drew. They all had their own stuff and alliances while Drew just sat there in her pink dress that looked more suitable for a 9 year old.

Britani on SLC is the right kind of delusional crazy to make one good interesting season as long as she's not so far out of the realm of reality like a Danielle Staub. But otherwise, sure, give her one season and see.

I like how we got a semi-OG's Only Girls Trip with RHONY. I'd love to see them go that route again, reuniting the 1st season OG's (or from the first 1-3 seasons when all the shows got hot). I'd vote for Beverly Hills first because there's no way it would ever happen for New Jersey.

Overall, I'm Team Kenya on this. I do think she absolutely chose the wrong time and place to do this "outing" of Britt. At her own event with non-Housewives people there? No sis, bad move for your own sake. But otherwise, I thought she got a raw deal. On this season's first episode, I thought Kelli was doing too much right off the bat, but now I find her to be the only newbie I actually like. No to Britt and I'm not feeling Angela either. They made a great decision elevating Shamea and I loved how she squashed the beef with Angela immediately by apologizing for belittling her physical looks. Wise move on her part. I hope we see more of Cynthia without Kenya. They seemed to have mended fences after the whole Girls Trip estrangement. Speaking of which, do y'all think Girls Trips are officially done after the Brandi / Caroline fiasco that'll never see the light of day?

That was my thought, too. Let it cool down and she'll be back with her peach next year.

Agreed. I watched and I'm thinking, damn this is how Kenya is going to be written out? Seems a bit unfair but I don't know all the details of the lengths Kenya goes to next week.

I still LOL at them trying to pass him off as 40-something... That said, I hope they bring Stacey back for her proper dragging.

Ooof -- well stated!

Exactly. Yeah, I thought overall the season started strong with the PK/Dorit and Kyle/Mo real life dramas, but it petered out at the end with the endless Dorit vs. Sutton feud. I'm ready for the reunion. I'm sad to hear about Garcelle though. She was always a breath of fresh air that kept it real. Are we thinking they'll shake up the RHOBH cast next season? EDIT: Oh boy, I haven't seen the finale yet. Sounds bad. Also wanted to add in my +1 on Jennifer Tilley. I have loved her personality since way back in the 80's when she was in this silly movie called "He's My Girl."

RHOBH Reunion: You know what, I think they all look nice. After seeing some of the outrageousness over at M2M, do we really need to see dresses that look like costumes? I'm good. Sometimes, we have women with crazy funky dresses where objects are literally obstructing their view or at risk of poking an eye out. Enough of that already. JMO.

Sweet Tea' childish outbursts were giving me Jacqueline Laurita vibes at her very worst during multiple RHONJ reunions. To see Toya seemingly the most pissed at her (the one OG that had her back) and openly admitting she doesn't like the seating arrangement, I'm thinking Sweet Tea is done after this. Oh darn. Also, I had to laugh at Phrogdra's descripton of the women as "funny looking and fat." Chiiiiild get a mirror.

Nailed it. lol LOL you can hold a candle for Drop It With... and we'll still light a torch for the Grande Dame

Meh... Drew is kinda like Potomac's Wendy where I want to like her, but there's something off. Actually I think Drew ranks worse. Not only does she have a cringey wannabe personality, but her fake one-season business ventures have been so poorly done. The "drop it with Drew" mention on Sunday was a cute nod but also an example of one of her sloppily thrown together business storylines that never had any legs to begin with. It's pretty crazy that with this massive cast overhaul, she was the only one left standing. It's like RHONY Season 4 wiping out everyone but keeping Cindy Barshop.

Yeah, last night, I thought "y'all just need to move on from this" when it came to Dorit vs. Sutton, and then Erika chiming in with her "what about meeee?" bit. Is the season finale soon?

While that's alarming to hear, I hope they cut the correct dead weight. Meanwhile, I wonder if they'd ever bring DAYS back to NBC. That was my initial thought too. He was the nice DiMera that fit in well with the Hortons (practically Julie's BFF). Everyone else in the house of DiMera are carbon copies.

This season flew by! I'll be interested to see how the reunion goes and see who will be back next year. By and large, Contessa was back full-time, just didn't have the official title. She could've taken Phaedra's place in the opening and Phaedra could've been billed as a friend. Just because she was on one season of The Traitors doing her usual schtick, Bravo thinks she's such a big draw. She's not. M2M was banging along just fine without her. End of mini rant.

... And in all honesty, I was only interested in seeing the OG's. Much like that awful, disrespectful Melrose Place reboot of 2009; I only cared about the original cast, not the next generation. Hopefully this next generation of RHOA will keep me interested. Kelli is already doing too much. I am reminded of my first impression of Brynn on the first eppy of NuRHONY.

So, I got this weird flashback when I watched the scene on RHOA when "friend of" Cynthia and about-to-be-booted Kenya were talking on a bench in a lil corner. [Side note: Ooh, Cynthia, that dress was the wrong choice] Remember when The CW did the 90210 reboot and you had all the young newbies as the new heart of the show while the OG's from the original (Brenda, Kelly etc.) were there for the first season and then completely phased out? That's the vibe I got. This is basically a reboot with the familiar face of Porsha as the last sole survivor. Yeah, Drew is there, but she's not from the golden era of RHOA. That said, Shamea (and her WEALTH!) did surprise me and so I'll eat my own words on my earlier comments about her. She definitely felt like the anchor of this new era of the ATL, with Porsha coming back as the resident pot-stirrer (a friendly version of OC's Tamra). I have not dove into the mess that is whatever's going on with Tamra quitting, but I did see a pic of her, Gretchen, and Shannon crossing the street and holy moly it was not a good angle... This:

On today's, they changed up their format by doing an overall recap right off the bat, and then discussed it (more randomly, instead of in order of events) after.
