Did you mean The Riddler?

LOL at the Freddy Krueger comments. He does look kinda scary there.

Oy. NeNe is like a new drag queen who's still learning the craft.

Wow, Kelly returning? I can accept that (especially in a small dose) only for a revisit with her and Bethenny. I think season six of NYC was a bunch of nothingness and mini arcs thrown together to make a season, but LuAnn definitely earned her spot back and finally pulled the countess stick from out of her butt and just had fun. Fun looks good on her.

I can't link cuz I'm on my phone right now, but according to RealityTea, RHOBH won't return til January! argh!!! That's too long a wait! And according to their latest, DAYS alums Lisa Rinna and Eileen are having a lil feud. Kristen and Billie fighting! Where's Jennifer Rose to break it up?

Gotta love that stank expression they used for Jill's shot. haha

It just felt hollow and stupid. Jacqueline's over here bawling like she's losing her bff, and her bff won't even film scenes with her!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaass Bethenny's back! Sorry Carole, the queen of clever comments is back! Better relinquish the crown quietly; I have a feeling if she tried to step up her game, she'd fail miserably. See: her first reunion. Still kinda bummed that Kristen is returning because I don't really care about her, or her relationship with the other ladies. Still hoping Bravo will pull out a last-minute surprise with a return of Jill, even if just for an episode or two for her and Bethenny to fight reunite. Lord knows Bethenny never held back about JZ on her talk show! Did not hear about that! I heard a different version about the gay brother's wedding; the other version I heard of made Dina sound like the bad one. Tsk, tsk, covering up Dina's husband's affair and breaking bread with the cheating hubby and the mistress? I guess what goes around comes around since Albert was screwing around on Caroline...

Yes. These four for one more round would be Housewives gold. I need one more good season of Bethenny dragging Jill's ass all over Manhattan.

I have to agree with this (bringing back Aviva), since Bethenny has reported since day one that she helped bring Aviva to the show. Let's see Bethenny handle the crazy on camera! I like to compare the hierarchy of all these shows to Beverly Hills, because I think the level of importance and the roles the ladies play on that show are very clear (at least IMO; I know some of you hate Kyle). And NYC's Heather and Carole are like BH's Taylor and Kim. Yeah, they can ruffle a few feathers every now and then, but they're not who we're coming to see, and they aren't the ones that everyone's trying to be BFF's with. They need some Lisa's and Kyle's and Camille's (Bethenny, Jill, LuAnn) to headline the show and make things pop. And they cannot give up on Ramona, especially if Bethenny is returning. Those two are genuine friends. I would *love* to see a truly "renewed" Ramona--- life after Mario! Will this make her more pleasant or an even crazier bitch? She may have been so short-circuited because of that man. She may find peace and be able to co-exist with the ladies in a much better fashion. Or, she may go off the deep end and be worse than ever. And what if she slutted it up like looneytunes Sonja? Oh, the possibilities are endless for a "renewed" Mario-less Ramona Singer! ATL: Phaedra has fallen out of favor with so many, it even comes across that way on Ellen. She's not the southern Belle everyone loved in season 3. I don't think she'll come out of this top dog at the reunion; she's got at least one couch full of ladies already prepared to come for her, and the season hasn't even begun to air! They've got a good 6 months to dig up dirt on Shady Phae-Phae and practice their one-liners. Kenya will be practicing for a prop-less reunion this time 'round.

I was thinking the same thing. I could easily see her as the next Vicki G, celebrating 10 seasons as the OG of the ATL. P.s. I had to google Michael Moriarty.

Well said, Soaplovers. God, the 3 new ones and their families tried way too hard. And you're right about the OC comparison. A through line was present and strong, even with the questionable editing of Lizzie and Danielle (?). I forget the 'friends of' names sometimes if they're a total non-factor.

Good grief, that sounds messy. Jersey always gets the messy edits. Like when they filmed the season 3 reunion right after filming the season 4 finale, and Caroline and an absent Jacqueline were pissed at Teresa even though they were friends all season long. Meanwhile, wasn't there some off-camera drama that happened season 3 in Punta Cana, where they all got into some huge bar brawl? Wonder whatever became of that. On this upcoming season finale, did they edit in brand new footage of Teresa & Joe's sentencing from 2 weeks ago?

So, so true. I like her, but damn, she even sounds bored doing her "for more about the real housewives, go to bravotv.com" voice-over.

They always find something to talk about (they had 3 parts for NYC and it wasn't a buzz-worthy season) but I really wonder how they'll fill up 3 hours. Dina - nothing Melissa - How's the new house? Teresa - "I can't talk about anything. I just wanna be there for my daughrrters." Jacqueline - cries for 5 more minutes about her son's autism (oh wait! She skipped again. Darn) Rosie - Still chasing after poon? Kathy - Still making canollis? Nicole, Teresssssa, and Amber will have the most to talk about, and it'll be a bunch of jibber-jabber. I was surprised how fast the season went and how it felt like it was building up to something that never came to be. If the Victoria Gotti thing was the big twist, what a lame, contrived monkey wrench. Almost as obvious as season 4's Posche party ("you were a dancer, right Melissa?" says the strange guy with the Bravo microphone all ready for his close-up) The past few episodes felt like 2 different shows. The New Jersey of yore (Jac, Kathy, Rosie, etc) and the new New Jersey filled with uninteresting and thirsty newbies. And Teresa rightfully does not give a f.ck about any of the contrived lady drama. I'm on the fence about keeping these new ladies or sending them back to hang at Dunkin' Donuts. Sure hope a Beverly Hills trailer is released this week!

Season 3 had Lisa, Kyle, Kim, Taylor, Adrienne, Brandi, and Yolanda. Plus, you had Camille basically a housewife since she filmed heavily until they dropped her for not featuring her personal life. Also, there was Marissa (was that her name?) and good ol' Faye. Season 3 had a boatload of "Friends of". (And who can forget Pam's return for one episode talking with Taylor, drinking, lighting up her cigarette with the candle on the table, and being a total bitter hot mess)

BH had 7 in season 3 I think. NYC had 7 in seasons 3&4. And there was ATL briefly when Kim was still around when Porsha was introduced. I'm guessing the same: Lisa, Kyle, Kim, Brandi, Yolanda, Lisa R, and Eileen, if we are to believe reports of both soap ladies joining.

Yes PLEASE! If they're gonna go out, go out on top! So, a million for Bethenny, and an alleged 1.5 for Miss Linnethia. Where's Bravo getting all this dough?

Ha! Would that air before or after Cindy Barshop's?

Agreed. I need this woman back on television, preferably a soapy show. Is she still on the show with Mark-Paul Gosselaar? I'm not into that kind of show but I liked her character, the couple episodes I saw.

What did Danielle Staub say? I think NJ's numbers will spike tomorrow, just due to curiosity from people who've tuned out. I wonder, with Jersey's future uncertain, NYC on its last leg (no pun intended), and Miami a non-factor, I wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the Housewives phenomenon. It can't last forever. Atlanta is still a powerhouse, OC is going steady, and Beverly Hills will hopefully recoup from last season. I wonder if these will be the last 3 ladies standing.

Good God, how many housewives couples have sought refuge on that show now?

Better do it while she can. Can't earn those coins while in the slammer. I can't imagine people are buying up her cookbooks these days.

Tsk, tsk...
