Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Well shoot. And there I thought Russell's suicide was the Housewives franchise's Moldavian Massacre. It appears Joe & Teresa Go To The Big House will be their unraveling. Hope there isn't a domino effect after Jersey goes... (Better enjoy this season while it lasts, Ramona and LuAnn!)

Melrose Place
Haha that's a cute edit! I wonder if someone else has edited a season 7 scene putting a drunk Alison slouched at the bar of Kyle's upstairs lounge. It is a shame they didn't bring back some of the original greats to usher out the series.

I like this turn of events on OC with everyone ganging up on Gretchen. It seems very scripted (last season, everyone was against Alexis... who'll be the target for next year's reunion?). Every lady on this show is a mess (okay, I'll give Bucky Beaver a pass due to being new and uninvolved). This is the first OC season that I've watched entirely. Excited to hear they're doing a 3 parter. Wonder how they'll stretch out the drama.

Melrose Place
I'd have to respectfully disagree about Megan. I thought she was one of the few saving graces of the latter half of season 5 and all of season 6. I didn't like her relationship with Coop, but I didn't care for Coop in general. I do agree though that many characters that used to have an edge were watered down in Season 7. I hated Amanda's "I give up on life" attitude in season 6 (just because she was preggars in real life, didn't mean they should alter Amanda's constant drive to succeed), but I thought she gained back some of her feistiness in season 7 by not telling Eve the whole truth about that fateful night as cheerleaders. I appreciated their return to basics by trimming down the cast, but half the stories were very uninspired. The whole Lexi/Ryan/Megan/Michael quadrangle was blah. Changing Kyle from a hero to an ass was a poor move. Also, I almost wished Michael and Jane had ended up together, as a nice way to bookend their final storyline. Lexi becoming queen bitch was delicious though. A total 180 from her persona in season 6, but Jamie Lunar pulled it off effortlessly.

Props to Bravo for pimping out Miami with a fantastic promo! It still doesn't beat Beverly Hills in my book, but it's nice to see they're putting faith into Miami and putting them on a Monday night (in part because no other franchise is ready to debut, much to my NYC-loving chagrin). I don't watch Miami but I know my hubby will be watching. I don't buy the "7 housewives is too many" excuse when Beverly Hills had 7 last season plus 2-3 supporting players (Camille, Faye, and Marissa) and it was a very successful season and easy to follow all their lives (it helped that people like Kim and Taylor had little to no storyline). NYC had 7 for two seasons as well. Poor Teresa... I agree with DaytimeFan's idea that it would be in their best interest of their children to lump all the blame on Juicy Joe and leave Teresa to raise the girls.

I agree, right when it was picking up a really good pace and steaming again, came the season finale! I have high hopes for season 6.

I just can't believe those numbers either. She can't be getting that much, and Phaedra can't be in her 4th season with that puny 1st season kinda salary.

Ah, thanks! I always wondered, and figured she had to have had something done during her time away :-)

Melrose Place
Right. Melrose was slated for a 7th season but the 6th season was sinking in ratings so they held off on airing the last two months and did an early spring finale in March, keeping the last 6 or 7 to air in the summer, hoping to recapture the magic it and 90210 had in the early 90's. They group these season 6 episodes in with the season 7 DVD's and reruns, but there's a 3 month time gap and huge cast overhaul about the 7th episode in (when the actual 7th season would've began). That's when Matt is about to visit the gang but dies on the way to the restaurant, where their nonchalant reaction to the news of his death always made me laugh and roll my eyes. I remember reading in SOD around this time that the new head honcho at FOX wasn't a fan of soap-like shows. There was a Party of Five spinoff called Time Of Your Life on around this time which was also quickly yanked. One thing that was nice about FOX back in their early years was that they gave their shows time to grow, work out their kinks, and find an audience, since they were the new kid on the block with nothing to lose. I would've loved to have seen MODELS INC go a couple more years. It ended after one season in '95, but even by '97, FOX was still trying to launch more Aaron Spelling soapiness (i.e. Pacific Palisades).

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
The way this show goes, the professor would take a looooooooong time to cum, much to Amanda's chagrin. The rape aftermath was indeed icky. Didn't he say he has a pal that he swaps partners with? Or his pal has just one woman that he lets him occasionally do? Ick. Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald is a nutbag! She makes all these vague accusations against Hannah, but then doesn't follow through. Honestly, after Pilar (sorry, I'm sticking with her Passions name) finally accused her of wanting Jim, I would've smacked the crap outta her.

Jacqueline has finally lost it and I love that the Bravo producers are showing it. She even looks bonkers and off kilter in her talking head comments. And the true Melissa edit is divine! Loved those side eye looks her friends were giving each other as Melissa yammered on about her book plans. Can u imagine if Jennifer and Rosie had been added as official housewives? I'll let you conjure up an image of Beast doing the proverbial turn-around and pose. What would her tagline be? Rosie and Jennifer would be the first pre-op and post-op housewives. Season 6 storyline could be Jennifer donating her old dick to Rosie. I'm mean

Chris looked embarrassed for her. Jacq is a mess. I finally liked Kathy last night because she called wacko Jacko out on her insane, childish antics.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
Sounds great, can't wait! I think it would be interesting to see the Ramona & Sonja friendship sour, because I think Sonja is the delusional one. I think it'll be fun to see the 'new' girls turn on each other (though I love that Heather & Carole are bff's) cuz an unhinged Aviva is an entertaining Aviva. Oh LuAnn... Still in her own world. It's funny how both LuAnn and Sonja think they're the s.hit. There's a reason why Ramona thinks she's the Joan Collins of NYC and that's because she is. Bethenny is long gone, Jill is a thing of the past, and Ramona consistently brings the drama. She IS queen bee of this franchise. Take a sip o' Pinot and celebrate! I think this write-up of the upcoming drama sounds juicy good. I hope they deliver this season :-)

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
Tracey Ross! That's her name. She is one step higher than the current Veronica, but that ain't saying much. Actually, their faces, voices, and overall sucky acting are very very similar. Jasmine Guy would be faaaaaaabulous especially if they wanted to make the character more of a viper than a kitty cat.

Bahahahah! Ok fine, let the lady return just so NeNe can go a few more rounds with her. Girlfriend won't hold back!

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
I agree about axing any solo scenes with Veronica and Bootleg Sally. ...we gotta come up with a clever nickname for V, I find her to be the most irritating, weak actress of the bunch. At least the daughter is funny to watch. V is just tragically stiff and unnatural.

Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
Oh this show... LOL It got annoying when both Candace and later Benny took FOREVER to break the good news to Benny and Hannah, respectively. If I had a 50K surprise, I would've busted into the room and said, "I got the money! You're not gonna be out on the street!" Instead, Candace probed Benny to see if he still believed in her, and Benny waited for his mom to moan on about nonsense before finally telling her she needn't worry anymore. It's like, I get that they're trying to establish some relationship dynamics but get to the point! Haha Question: I must admit I don't know all the specifics of breast cancer. Where is bootleg Sally Spectra bleeding from? I say vagina, hubby says breasts but that can NOT be correct.

Thanks for the heads up. Should either be a fun train wreck or a frustrating clusterfuk. Ill be watching My TiVo says its Mark Paul Gosselaar and Brecken Meyer. Did they cancel last minute and so they decided to throw on the horse faced post-op shemale instead?

A few weeks back when Danielle's handful of supporters were bombarding Andy Cohen on twitter, he said they tried to get her back but Danielle said no. Hmm...

For real. The press sure loves to kick a horse when they're down. Didn't they explain that way back in season 2 of RHOA that they filmed the ladies leaving a table from a restaurant twice? All the empty restaurants should be an indication that all these meetings are prepped and pre-planned, even for the most naive believers who think reality TV is 100% real. But then you have people who believe Teresa and Caroline's friendship ended over an Olive Garden comment in a cookbook and you realize how gullible people are (not here of course, Facebook land) :-)

3 episodes and shown less than 10 minutes... All the more reason why they should've dumped her behind and spent that time building up a newbie. She doesn't add anything dynamic that would get people to watch. She drags out her gorilla sister at every chance because that's the only thing interesting or humorous about Kathy. I'm glad NJ's number are slipping. A 3rd season of the same crap should not be rewarded.

I really don't get the infatuation for Jacqueline's hubby. He's a nice, protective & patient husband, but he's always had that bloated, tired drinker look to him. To each his own

Melrose Place
Heather Locklear was pregnant during season 6 so there isn't much to her story. When she comes back, they wrote her in a very out-of-character way. That whole ordeal with marrying that Roy guy (I think that's his name; the actor playing him just played Stefano's henchman that Sami shot on DAYS) was a big 'Huh?' like Amanda gave up on life or something. Have fun watching that first segment of season 7 when they learn that Matt died in a car accident. All their reactions are so nonchalant, it's hilarious! Amanda: "Matt's dead." (Actual dialogue) Jane: "Oh. Can I have his salad then?" (What I expected her to say, based on their non-reactions)

Buwahahah! Never heard someone go in on Sonja like that! She's very take-her-or-leave-her, along with LuAnn. The only correction I'd make is that Sonja came in mid-way thru season 3, the gay marriage equality event was beginning of season 4, and the butt boinking was season 5. They're filming 6 currently. Sigh. I hope they bring it this season. I'd totally welcome a last minute shocker with Jill or Alex; anything to create some buzz for my NYC ladies.
