Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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?

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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.

Dynasty Discussion Thread
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)

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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!

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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!

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
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.

Dynasty Discussion Thread
You should see season one when Pamela Sue Martin's Fallon is the main antagonist against Krystle. She played the vixen very well!

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I just recently saw all of Season 1, too, and I felt the same way: Bethenny and Ramona are definitely the most entertaining! Even though Ramona can be wrong or just tactless many times, I still love her and find her to be one of the most entertaining of the NYC ladies. I love her relationship with her daughter, and I love how she teaches Avery to be independent and have a skill of your own so that she'll never be dependant on a man. Alex definitely came off as weird in the first season, with herself and Simon being such social climbers but pretending they were already at the top of the heap. The first few episodes they were definitely isolated. They didn't all come together socially til the last few episodes.

I agree. OC is blah in general. It's interesting to know that this was the first of its kind.

Bless you. LOL I love when y'all post these GIFS. That was my first guess too.

ITA I think that season was the perfect blend of all the elements that were at one point great about this franchise. All the right players were present, all the right alliances and adversaries... and yes, those quotes and expressions were priceless! Like when Kim belted out that song "Ring Don't Mean A Thing" at that strip mall concert, and the look on NeNe's face had me rolling! And then the way she enunciated her words when she said, "that's like when they lip sync the words to songs at my son's school." Luv.

Bravo's The Real Housewives of....
I agree. I don't totally dislike Kim, but I do completely agree at how hypocritical she was in Season 4, and how she pretended like the past 3 seasons that we, the viewing public saw, didn't happen. And saying she paid for everything she owns. Yeah, she's fake as hell. But she's still one of the faces of Atlanta Housewives. I wouldn't mind seeing her next season in hopes of her getting called out on her hypocrisy and lies. But it'd also be really forced seeing them all have to hang out with her. Oh well.

I'm mesmerized (or maybe just bewildered) about Wig's boobs. Actually, seeing Mariah Carey on American Idol, her boobs are similar to Wig's. They are just HUGE. And the way they're all bundled up and packaged in those dresses (and on a rare occasion, a bra) I can't decipher if they'd drop to the floor when naked or if they're big floatation devices that bob in the air regardless of the laws of gravity. They're just too much. Would they drop down to her belly button? And yes, sometimes she has a clown-like look to her (all that damn makeup), but I think underneath it all she's actually quite pretty. OMG. So sorry. I didn't refer to her as Wig. I quickly edited

Interesting! And will Bravo be quick to catch all this play out on camera....?

It was fricken awesome, haha... And yes, her lighting a cigarette with a candle while talking about how classless Brandi is... delicious irony! It's sad, but while watching Kim giving excuses about medication mix-ups, my husband who's a clinical therapist and deals with women with substance abuse problems on a daily basis, said "that's the exact same excuse my clients give me all the time."
