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!

Both NeNe's and Bravo's camps are denying this. They wouldn't let her go unless something epic happened. I smell another episode with 4+ million viewers!

I'm liking RHONY... although I guess I'm alone, as viewers didn't even hit 1.3 million last night --- OUCH! Even the hubby is no longer interested in NY and I watch alone (OC has the opposite effect on us). It's just a very interesting dynamic, to see LuAnn now being "the annoying one" with the circle of girls, sans Ramona. It still feels kinda phony though, and LuAnn's remark to Carole about how it's amazing that they've never run into each other before even though they have mutual friends really points that out. It's weird they didn't give these 3 new ladies an official "Welcome To My Home" introduction. LuAnn really has run her course. I feel like she's badly acting when she talks about having a baby, and the rest of the girls are in on it (just like ATL's Chateau Sheree) I still love that "Chic C'est La Vie" song though I think a Carole vs. LuAnn snarkfest will be entertaining I have my money on Carole. And I look forward to seeing what develops where Aviva says to Ramona & Sonya, "Frankly, you're both white trash!" as shown in preview clips.

I think Locklear's presence definitely brought a spotlight to the show that wasn't there before. The Amanda/Billy/Alison triangle of Season One is what finally got the show off the ground. It was the "A" story, whereas Jo/Jake and eventually Jane/Michael/Kimberly were the "B" stories (Rhonda's story with Terrence was an afterthought). Things then skyrocketed in Season Two once all the stories started to gel and the whole ensemble was strong.

When Sheridan was buried alive on Passions, I knew he was out of ideas and had to resort to using his former glory day tricks.

The forever title of "Special Guest Star" was to list her last, as that was (and still is, sorta) prestigious to be listed last with special billing. Since Melrose always listed their cast alphabetically, they gave Locklear that special title to keep her from being wedged in the middle between Leighton and Savant. Personally, I think they should've just ditched acknowledging at the start of the credits that the cast is listed alphabetically, and just had Locklear at the end with the "and Heather Locklear as Amanda"

Lexie does a complete 180 in Season 7. If you like psychos, stick around... Hubby and I just finished the last of Season 7, and you know what, overall I don't think the final season is very good. Everything is rushed, just like they rushed season 4-6. They trimmed down the cast to 8 (7 in the opening credits, plus Rena Sofer as Eve) but it's still a dizzying game of musical beds. The finale is complete let-down. So rushed; no time for people to REACT to traumatic events. It's quite ridiculous. And it's really too bad some of the originals were asking for too much money to do a cameo appearance at the finale, because if they had done that, the last 10 minutes would have been so much more impactful, and maybe they would've SLOWED DOWN for some time to reflect and reminisce. Oh well. Still love my Melrose

I think NYC has potential. It started out kinda boring, but the new ladies are growing on me and the drama is starting to stir. I must admit though that I do get bored at times when they're focusing on one individual and their own life. I feel like this show is stronger and more interesting when there's more than one housewife onscreen, as opposed to other series (ATL, BH) where individuals are interesting enough by themselves.

Exactly. This whole thing about loyalty and putting things in the past is making Caroline and Jacqueline look like the biggest hypocrites, because there is such a double standard with this whole DANIELLE debacle. I really think they need to clean house in Jersey for Season 5. In all honesty, I could see everyone but Teresa going and I wouldn't shed a tear. But that would be a bit too devastating for the identity of this show. But this Teresa vs. Family feud has already run its course and this season isn't even over yet. Meanwhile, I think we've seen enough of the Manzos and Lauritas. Who knows who they'll keep, but I sure do hope they do some major cast pruning. So, I'm not a big OC'er, but do you think that's why Gretchen and Tamra miraculously decided to become bff's this season? Is it smarter to hitch yer wagon to the Gretchen train instead of Vicki?

Okay, finally back from vacation and caught up on Jersey and I gotta agree with all the negative remarks here about Jacqueline: she is so petty, childish, hypocritical, and plain ol' ridiculous. Do you want to be bff's with Teresa or cut her loose? You ambush her the night before, and then are so upset that Teresa goes and lives her own life and is having a good time at the party they're both at. And Jacqueline bitches to Caroline (of course) and Caroline's reasoning is because Teresa doesn't care and is a blank slate of emotions, etc. etc. Teresa literally cannot win with that woman. Anything Teresa does, Caroline will twist it into being something wrong. If Teresa brought up their personal problems at Caroline's brother's wedding, Caroline would throw a fit. Teresa didn't bring up the problems at the wedding, and Caroline complains about that. Teresa is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't with Caroline and Jacqueline. The silly thing is that Jacqueline even admitted on What What Happens Live that there's more to the story than what we're seeing onscreen. This whole set-up seems like they're just trying to give Caroline & Jacqeline a valid reason to be mad at Teresa to compensate for what's really going on. Jac also seemed to be doing damage control for herself on WWHL, as she was getting a lot of tough questions from viewers, and even the guest bartender! Ha. This delusional broad looked so bad in Sunday's episode... "I lost a best friend tonight," Jac gargled. Um, didn't you cut her out the day before? Wouldn't it be fabulous if they brought out Danielle Staub at this year's reunion to set the record straight about Melissa? That would be a ratings bonanza! And speaking of which, Melissa had GUILTY written all over her face when Teresa finally confronted her about Danielle. I agree that this girl is no innocent angel they're trying to portray her as. It's ironic that Jacqueline was drunkenly slurring how Teresa cannot stand to have anyone else on the show be successful, when it's really Melissa that was jealous and itching to ride her sis-in-law's coattails and get on the show and get fame of her own. P.S. I called Jacqueline out on her hypocrisy on Twitter and she blocked me. Haha. Twitter & Jacqueline & booze make for a messy scenario!

Agreed on all counts. It definitely felt like Jacqeline is just looking for a way to have falling out with Teresa, and Caroline just complains and belittles EVERY. SINGLE. THING. TERESA. DOES. If Teresa were to exhale too loudly, Caroline would complain that Teresa's trying to put all the focus on herself. I mean really? Take a [!@#$%^&*] or get off the pot. This loose storyline being used to pit all the housewives against Teresa is so weak. Clearly there is behind-the-scenes drama that isn't being addressed onscreen and it's making everyone (minus Teresa) look like total flakes. At least next week looks interesting. They're bringing up the big "D"--- Danielle!! haha
