Let's hope they pull a last-minute switcheroo on us. They can easily photoshop her basic ass out.

I can sip some Pinot and breathe a sigh of relief. It was announced that New York is returning. New Jersey is returning June 2nd. Lisa's Vanderpump Rules is also getting a second season. P.S. On the Bravo TV topic, I'm SO glad Tabatha's returning this Thursday!

Wow, for the first time since I entered the Real Housewives world, I sat through an entire premiere episode of OC and was entertained! I love Gretchen. I don't care what her faults are, she's just so damn pretty and I love her laugh. I think she'd be better off with less make-up though. She's young; she doesn't need all that goop on her face. Back to my favorite group, the Beverly Hills bitches: I totally agree with others that Splits and Rambles Richards were trying to twist Duchess Yolanda's words, but neither she nor Queen Lisa were going to fall for it. Yes, there were some comments made, but nothing as vicious or behind-the-back like Rambles tried to insinuate. I do get Princess Brandi's point about Splits always discrediting Rambles' sobriety, but I can understand why Splits would be cautiously optimistic... it just comes off as pessimistic. As erratic as she was, Rambles did more at the reunion than Taylor. There was just nothing for Taylor to even discuss, considering most of her storyline was cut out. It was nice to see the girls cheering on Queen Lisa at DWTS. You can just see the joy on Princess Brandi's face; she is genuinely happy for her.

Excellent Top Ten choices my friend OMG I can't wait for next week's Atlanta reunion. "Come on, Wig!" Kandi mistakenly admitted on WWHL that Kim and NeNe have a "lovefest" at the reunion. Andy tried to cover, but we all knew anyhow via tweets. Kenya and that fan! LOL This woman is a character! But I love it. I loved NeNe being the voice of reason to Kenya at the party. She's come a long way, and I love that none of the ladies have any issues with her being the smart one to reel the crazy ones in. Porsha and her status update... I mean... You can just tell when Bravo doesn't like one of the ladies anymore. lol. Not that there's much to say. If it had been one week earlier, they'd probably say something like, "Porsha is still enjoying her pitcher perfect life. She and Kordell aren't pregnant. Yet." or some throwaway remark like that. Huge props to Cynthia. She really turned it out this season and made herself someone that people actually care about. She looked stunning as always.

I think Kyle believes she could or should be in the same league as Lisa, in terms of saying witty comments and being Queen Bee, but she is failing miserably. She's like Jill Zarin of NY, thinking she could be the smartest, sassiest woman of the show instead of Bethenny, but ended up sabotaging herself.

The smartest housewife to make a brand out of all of this, of course, is Bethenny. Wonder if a couple appearances from her would boost interest in a new season of NYC. I think one of the smartest words of advice I've ever heard a housewife utter is when Ramona told daughter Avery that the best thing you can do is to make sure you get yourself an education and have a talent/profession of your own, because you must never rely on a man for wealth and security because you never know what can happen in the relationship and you have to be able to support yourself. (She saw her mother live a life of regret, being stuck in an abusive relationship).

I agree. She's just too... dumb. Even with a half-decent storyline, I just don't feel empathy for her because she's so blindly ignorant in all aspects of life.

I wonder what the issues are with NYC. It's very telling that it was supposed to start filming in February, then March, then April... and now this. I think if they went back to focusing on all the fabulous perks of being a New Yorker instead of going on endless trips elsewhere, it'll bring back that old feeling again. The city, like in Sex and the City, is part of the charm of the show. Trips to locales near the center of the equator does not equal New York. Of course, that's one aspect. The dynamics between the ladies of course are a huge aspect and perhaps a huge issue with filming a new season.

Yes. That was ridiculous, backtracking like that. We saw and heard in her talking head comments how near 'n dear her friendship was with Adrienne. Nice try, lady. Loved how Lisa called her out on what the Kyle/Mauricio and Adrienne/Paul friendship was really based upon...

The finale and reunion were fantastic. All sorts of win. Queen Lisa, Duchess Yolanda, and Princess Brandi showed those catty wannabes who reigns supreme. I really hope Yolanda returns next season to shut down the Richards sisters (if they return too). It's so true that Kyle realized she's gotta buddy up with her pill-popping sister because she's lost all her allies. P.S. I should replay it, but at the end, did Kyle reveal something we all knew? Did she accuse Yolanda of poking fun of Kim's relapse? Can't wait for next week. Loved the cliffhanger ending with Lisa not believing the Kim/Kyle lies about Yolanda. Oh. And Taylor was there too. I can't seem to read Taylor's blog past the first page, and now it doesn't go to that page at all. Browser issue? Or did Bravo remove it?

Beverly Hills has been fabulous, start to finish, all season long! I could totally rewatch it as a marathon and not be bored, which is something I can't say for ATL this year. I think the BH ladies bring something that none of the other franchises have; they still seem fresh, not forced (for the most part). Obviously, you have grifters like Taylor and tagalongs like Kim, but overall it still seems realistic and not 100% forced. People like Kyle and Camille have genuinely become friends, as have Lisa, Brandi, and Yolanda. So glad ATL's Porsha is leaving. She brought nothing to the show except stupidity. At least she's not sticking around to continue her stupidness onscreen like OC's Alexis. I loved the juxtaposition between the booty workouts. Phaedra may have had a better view as a backdrop, but Kenya's looked authentic. She was using real terms to explain the workout positions and the muscles being used in the routines. Phaedra looked like she was just goofing off without any real replanning in terms of what she was going to cover in the workout video. And that outfit? Not flattering in the least! She had muffin tops all over the place! They should've just had Apollo lead and put her ass outside in the far background waving.

Agreed. Well, if you want to consider the fight with Marlo a bang... We need someone to post a couple gifs of their fight with the hand gestures, LOL. Afterward, she went out like a total punk trying to stir up drama with Black Babygate. In the end at the reunion, the only one saying "but it sounds racist!" was her. Nobody else agreed.

I love my campy over-the-top drama (hence, my immense love for Melrose Place), but surprisingly I find season one of Dynasty (granted, I've only watched seasons 1 through part of 5) the best. Yes, it's slow. It's like a different era of television (i.e. 70's) in the slow pace and the focus on character development (which is a good thing, just slow). I love the sibling bond between Fallon and Steven. As they pointed out in the reunion, their characters are opposite of what you'd expect. Fallon is following in her father's footsteps while Steven doesn't want to do anything with the company (and likes men!) I do agree though that the 2 episodes where they focus heavily on the Blaisdel family, it's not very interesting. P.S. I love the cat 'n mouse game that Fallon plays with Jeff and Roman the chauffeur. And also the fact that Fallon was more interested in romancing Cecil Colby. Aw, I think I'm gonna do a season one marathon this weekend P.S. Did Heather Locklear have some sort of surgery on her nose sometime in the mid-80's? Not necessarily plastic surgery, but something that would clear up her sinus passages. She sounds SO congested in early years but it clears up later.

Oh my goodness... LOL Cat, your summary of BH's episode last week just reminds me why this franchise is the best. There is literally something juicy nearly every week! Can't even say that about ATL these days. (Or Jersey)

I loved Lisa! (and her husband... mm mm yum, haha) That's why I liked Season 2 of ATL a lot because it had her, Kandi, and the other 3. I agree that NeNe's hair was best when it was short but brown instead of this blonder-than-blonde blonde she has now. It is SO funny watching Sheree act all high 'n mighty in Season 1. I could tell she was a poser from day one. She tries too hard to make herself sound greater than she actually is. I wonder if all those friends she had over to her house in the first episode still bother to give her the time of day nowadays... If you're still watching Season 1, Carl, be prepared to constantly see that clip of Kim saying, "My name is on the list. Nene's isn't...." LOL They flash back to that so often!

In Season 3, I also liked the episode when Jill says "We're done!" to Bethenny over the phone, and then Ramona stages it so that they meet in her apartment to try to hash things out, but it only gets worse (I can't remember if that all happens in the same episode). So much of season 3 NYC is delicious. And I'd have to pick 2 Scary Island episodes. The cray cray meltdown of Kelly and the next episode when Jill arrives and they kick her out (so awesome, ha).... oh hell, I'd probably want to pick the first island episode, too, just to get in all of Kelly's awfulness to the ladies and to see Ramona's "Turtle Time!"

Oh Camille... the naughty little mynx we all knew 'n loved [to hate]. Thanks for the gifs! You know we love 'em!

Sweet.... haha Oh yea, totally forgot about the Danielle debacle at Season 2 Posche Fashion Show! Epic episode indeed.

I don't know about others, but I'd have to put Scary Island from NYC and the Bus Trip with Kim/NeNe from ATL on the list of top moments. Maybe we should create a Top Ten Moments List of all RH franchises, just as Bravo did for Top 20 Reunion Moments.

"Ewww, is that what you do?" (to Allison DuBois) That's when I loved her, haha.

Seriously. You guys are better than the blogs... although I admit to only reading the episode summaries on Realitytea.com

LOL This is gold. Although I'd love to see Lisa Rinna on Beverly Hills. I know she tries too hard (and she laughs waaaaay too long at a joke), but I like her. When watching Celebrity Apprentice, it took me awhile for it to dawn on me that Jack Wagner could've been on HER team instead of La Lucci, therefore reuniting Dr. Peter Burns and Taylor McBride

You guys are on fire with the names! I'm loving catching up on this thread!

Agree with everything you and everyone else said. I love how Yolanda totally took Marissa to task for making a huge deal out of a lighthearted comment and then totally tried to backtrack when Yolanda called her out on it. And yes, the contradictions! She's "so offended" by Brandi's comment but then proceeds to say she would eff a talk, dark, & handsome man at that very moment. This woman... Useless. Oh Faye... You can't expect me to root for you when you insinuate yourself in a conversation that are you are completely NOT a part of, and then refuse to walk away when people point out that you have no reason to be there? Nuh uh, OJ lady. Sit down.

I friggin loved that, when she grabbed her face! Yolanda was all sorts of win on Monday's episode. I really hope she comes back next season! It took her awhile to make her mark, but now I really want her to be there as another sensible voice of reason.
