Gray Bunny

I read that too, though I don't remember confirmation that she'd be back full-time for season 6. I'm guessing this will be Kim and NeNe's last season, as their 5 season contract will be up (or am I imagining that 5-season-contract thing?) and they're both ready to move on. I would think that her salary would be reduced this season for that very reason that she didn't film much and didn't participate as much. If I were the other ladies, I would protest to that, especially since she's the 2nd highest paid lady there.

The new BH woman is named Yolanda Hadid. Kenya Moore is one of ATL's new ladies, right? Not sure who the woman next to NeNe is. I thought Rudy from The Cosby Show was joining? Is that her?

Where's Atlanta's Kim? Did they downgrade her to friend-of-the-Housewives?? No Camille in BH, boo...

Thank goodness. She was insufferable. There's fun crazy (like NJ's Danielle) and stupid crazy. She was just too dumb and ignorant to be entertaining.

It did seem awfully contrived and set up by Bravo, no doubt. Whether Teresa is innocent or not (and supposedly, we'll learn the truth of the matter next week), she definitely covered her bases in looking innocent. Whatever the case turns out to be, Kim D looks more than willing to play the game and stir the pot for the sake of causing drama (and getting airtime, no matter how bad she looks... figuratively and literally). Yesterday, they replayed the Posche fashion show from the early part of season 3 when Melissa and Kathy were still the newbies, and boy, they were practically salivating on camera at the fact that they were a part of the show. From chatting with the likes of Kim G (the 55 year old who dresses like an 18-year-old prostitute) to acting like a total diva (hi, Melissa!) when strutting on the runway for the fashion show, you could tell these 2 wannabes were loving their newfound limelight. Kim D... Posche fashion... kind of takes me back to the good ol' days of season 2 when Danielle was the big thorn in everyone's side. Sigh, good times. I'm hoping that was the last supper we'll see of the Manzo clan, as well as a final wrap-up of Ashley and the relationship with mama Jacqueline. These 2 sourpusses (Caroline, Jacq) need to be replaced come season 5. Jacqueline was even a total buzzkill on last night's WWHL. Meanwhile, Lauren, a.k.a. the Meg Griffin of the Manzo family, is becoming a Caroline-in-training, which does not look good on her. I hear Lauren even appears in the reunion and goes off on Teresa.

Sarah stayed behind in Aremid after everyone left town in March of 1996. She was the daughter of Uncle Lou, the man who ran the pub in Aremid. I would think she was older than 18-19 since she took an interest in Jack.

I agree with you on that, however, New Jersey has completely relied on their fame for any and all type of storyline. From cookbooks to book signings to magazine covers to magazine quotes, it's just a bit too much. If it wasn't for Teresa's fame, Jacqueline would have zero camera time ever since the day Ashlee's dumb ass left home.

Glad that NYC is gaining viewers... this past Monday's episode was on fire! Great comedy from looney-tunes Ramona and Sonja, snarky comments from Carole and Holla!, and skanky shenanegins with The Countess! Great enjoyable episode all throughout. And next week, Aviva sees Ramona in a whole new light... dun, dun, dun!!! The New Jersey fight was just ridiculous. Eric said it best about Kathy; she was following wherever the cool crowd was going. Jacqueline is a total wimp, "sleeping" through the fight. Caroline is so stubborn, deciding what is and what isn't a genuine apology. Bitch, get a life, I'd say to her. What was really awkward was how the families were stepping into the fire, first the husbands, then the Manzo spawns. I have to say, I think EVERYONE is wrong (yes, even Teresa), including Bravo, for making the tabloid magazines such a huge part of the storyline. This show is supposed to be about their lives, not about their fame that has stemmed from the very TV show we're watching. Like Dina said, "for some, it used to be a show about their lives. Now, their lives have become the show." So true. I find it especially famewhore hungry at the idea that Melissa had this whole "On Display" song picked out and autotuned sung, BEFORE she was even on television. That was a part of season 3's antics. She was "on display" in the public eye before the show even started airing?? Wishful thinking, lady... SO glad we FINALLY get to see the Dina episode next week!!! If Bravo wants blockbuster ratings (and if both ladies could be coaxed into returning), they should bring out Dina and Danielle Staub at some point during the Season Four Reunion to clear the air about certain matters. I just want Danielle's crazyass back onscreen one more time

She is embracing it; she did a photo shoot with her grandbaby and did the article. It's alright to make up cutesie names, better than denying their existance altogether the way Sheree tried to pass off her twentysomething daughter as a friend in the 1st season (apparently Sheree didn't realize that a little something called the Internet exists...)

I thought I read they shot 4 vacations this season. So if I'm remembering correctly, this is vacation spot No. 3? The previews look fan-frickin-tastic. The new ladies are finally beginning to hold their ground against the veterans and it's starting to balance out. Can't wait to see how it all falls apart comes together....

That. Is. Hilarious. LOL I'm not a big Basketball Wives fan, the hubby is, but I know the main players of Tami, Evelyn, etc. Perfect statement for Teresa to use at Kathy (and anyone to use at ATL's Sheree last season)

When I watched Aviva on WWHL a couple weeks back, she looks mortified and uncomfortable. I wonder how she feels about this whole Real Housewives thing now that she's in the thick of it all. Carole was cool as a cucumber on her WWHL appearance, but like Antoyne said, she stays away from the drama which will do her no favors next year when casting for season six. Ramona, Ramona, so delusional and mostly wrong, but God bless her, ya just gotta love her insanity. Sonja was all types of wrong, too, with the Heather situation. Sonja is making all these demands and is so ungrateful, I really hope she sees how self-absorbed she was in watching this episode. (Sonja is a blah take-her-or-leave-her character for me anyways, so I don't *really* care). I just want to see the switch when Aviva is no longer up Ramona's ass. "CALM DOWN!" Good crazy stuff it looks to be.

Omigod, Caroline is nothing but one big blob of misery. I swear she was thisclose to saying Teresa planned to injure her foot for sympathy. C'mon, you just KNOW that was on the tip of her tongue. She's such a sourpuss. And calling Lauren an a--hole? I'm on Lauren's side on this. It's just weird that Caroline defends her gay & alcoholic sons no matter what, but Lauren is the fat overly emotional a--hole. Something ain't right with this bunch. I wonder if Lauren is jealous that Greg gets to sleep in Albie's bed? Then there's Jacqueline. One minute, putting up this argument that Teresa's being fake but has no examples to back it up, claims she's done with Teresa, and then literally 2 seconds later starts melting into tears. She's just a mess. Maybe she realizes she'll have no story and no camera time if she "breaks up" with Teresa. Good golly Miss Molly, get us to that damn Posche fashion show and wrap up this season!

I like the expression on her face in the red dress. It's quintessential NeNe, like in the opening of Celebrity Apprentice. She looks nice in the fireplace photo too. But yeah, that purple pants photo looks like it was warped by someone who's a beginner at Photoshopping.

We ordered Netflix for a couple months specifically to watch the 7th season of Melrose. Now that it's out on DVD, of *course* we'll be getting it to complete our collection... but no rush, since we just watched it and it's the least interesting season of the series.

I agree that NYC is a lot lighter and fun now, and I look forward to watching it every week, as opposed to Jersey where it's heavy with negativity. It really is a downer when there's SO much hatred and bitterness. That's why I'm hoping/expecting a drastic overhaul next season on Jersey, just like they did with NYC. NYC had a bumpy start, and yeah maybe they could've done a few things different with their casting choices, but overall it was a necessary change and it's starting to pay off. Hoping the ratings will reflect that soon.

I think the reports are getting it wrong, because apparently the conversation Jacqueline had with Kim G (good Lord, really? Out of all the friends and acquaintances in the world to vent to, you had to run to THAT famewhore?) was on the night of the reunion she skipped LAST YEAR. Whatevs. I still think she's become irrelevant.

This is so stupid. This is the new "in" thing for Real Housewives broads who can't handle being called out on their hypocrisy. First Jacqueline, then BH's Adrienne, now Jacqueline AGAIN? She needs to be let go. She has no story. I really hope they don't drag her back in for season 5. Adrienne can go too, as I'm sure she's gonna look REAL bad this upcoming season...

Everything with the Manzo kids looks forced and fake. Y'know, Teresa pointed out one simple fact: Caroline is [allegedly] mad at Teresa solely because of the comment in the book. And apparently Teresa's apology wasn't "good enough" or truly sincere in Caroline's eyes. That's what's so silly about this whole turn of events in this 4th season. This huge rift and anamosity [allegedly] stems from something so trivial. Even when Teresa and Melissa were rehashing this on yesterday's episode, you could tell there was a hesitation in mentioning that that's the "only" reason why there's tension. Clearly, there's something else behind the scenes that happened (Punta Cana? One diva jealous of another diva's success?) but because they're not admitting what the real reason is, this whole set-up of their dissolved friendship is just stupid. Meanwhile, I swear sometimes I think we're seeing Jacqueline's face literally melting onscreen. Gravity is doing one helluva number on her!

I think Alexis and Kelly tie for No. 1, for completely different reasons. Both are completely unlikeable, and it's amazing they both lasted multiple seasons. As someone who first saw RHONY during its 4th season and then went back and caught up in seasons past, I definitely agree that Season Three was incredibly good stuff. And the reunion was epic. Loved seeing Jill taken down a few notches. And Kelly's meltdown was just as crazy and distorted as I heard it'd be.

Jacqueline is just a mess. She just dwells on the same subject matter over & over again because she has no actual storyline. One minute, she wants to be Teresa's friend, next minute she's saying they'll just be acquaintances, next minute she's telling her to eff off and saying "I see you for exactly who you are," next minute she wants to be friends again. There's no point to her anymore. Yeah, that flashback was weird how it just went on forever but served no purpose other than to establish that they used to film at that location? Chris Manzo has that drunk look in his face and skin tone where you can tell he drinks way too much.

I'm guessing they showed that "this season" preview to amp up some interest in NYC... well it worked!

Word. What I love is that from what I've seen (at least on realitytea.com) is that everyone can see through Adrienne's bull and everyone is Team Lisa (and Team Brandi, for the most part). I think Season 3 will be quite interesting with all these different alliances... As for OC's Jeana, I never saw when she was a regular castmember, but hubby speaks fondly of her and likes her. If they could get all parties involved on board, it'd be great to bring certain housewives back to the fold, like OC's Jeana and Jersey's Danielle or Dina.

OC definitely had an awesome reunion. Can't believe I'm actually liking Tamra! I just loved how everyone who needed to get called out (Alexis, Vicki) got called out on their lies and hypocrisy. Vicki's daughter is so articulate and well-spoken and did not hold back! Alexis just needs to go. NYC continues to be poorly edited to conjure up drama that isn't really there. "Have a good night, Ramona!" or something to that effect was what we heard Heather saying as Ramona walked away without a reply. But Heather's lips weren't actually moving when she was walking up to Ramona; clearly she said that phrase at another point. Which is just one example of their choppy editing, much like their London trip. Wow, they're already back in NYC? There just wasn't enough drama stirring, otherwise we would've seen 'em on the other side of the pond for a good 3 episode arc! And boy oh boy, another trip next week? They're trying really hard here. Ramona is a crazy nut, but she still entertains me in her wacky, outspoken over-the-top ways. She's just a silly woman who really means no harm, that's how I see her. It's all for the cameras, otherwise we'd be watching nothing but the Manzo boys and Rosie---- er, wrong show! :-) New Jersey finally showed us what an episode would be like where we don't see 4 women bitching 'n moaning about Teresa the entire time, and boy, was it ho-hum. It was okay for what it was, but I hope we aren't subjected to any others like that for the rest of the season. As for Melissa's "singing" and dance performance.... I think I'd rather sit through an hour of Don't Be Tardy For the Party and Ring Don't Mean A Thing.... Like Jack suggested, I could totally see them keeping Caroline around to make it a Caroline vs. Teresa feud. Jacqueline is just there. Kathy is just there. Melissa gets a pass because she's Tre's sister-in-law. Otherwise, I could see 2 newbies come in to fill Jac and Kathy's spots next season. I can't wait for Beverly Hills to return.

Agreed. I think NJ's Teresa falls under that category too. Can you imagine the past 2 seasons without her? What the hell would Jacqueline, Caroline, Kathy or Melissa talk about? It'd be nothing but mindless Manzo children and Rosie!
