It's funny how John Clarke aged so quickly. He looks like an old man in that 1978 magazine, and he'd only been on the show for 13 years! Wasn't Mickey supposed to be in his mid-to-late 20's when the show began in 1965? Funny how they so rapidly aged characters like Mickey and Julie, especially since the same actors were still playing the roles.

So Carole has no kids and is not married. Why is she on this show??? If Ramona had a part in getting Jill axed, good for her. Have another bottle of pinot to celebrate!

It's funny (i.e. disappointing) that they keey using alcohol as an excuse for these two basket cases when it's very clear that it's drug-induced. But I'm sure Bravo producers are instructing the ladies to use booze as the excuse whenever they speak so that they don't ruin a potentially good take when filming.

I thought Albie was gay since the first time I saw him. No shocker there.

TVBytheNumbers reports a lil over 1.5 million for the episode. Yes, Kim is all kinds of trainwreck fun. It'll be interesting to see how alliances change throughout the season. Judging by the first 2 episodes, you'd think Camille and Kyle were gonna become besties!

Ouch.

Yes, season 3 of NJ is dragging. Hubby said the same thing last night. When I caught up with previous seasons, we skipped past the couple episodes last season where they went on vacation because he said it wasn't worth watching (i.e. No Danielle drama). I think this season would be more interested if it were more condensed. Honestly, aside from the little argument on the beach coming next week between Teresa and Kathy, the only thing I'm looking forward to seeing is brother Joe with his shirt off... Yum!

I agree. We can do without the "I feel like I'm breaking..." sobs. I felt like the first BH episode was a calm before the storm. I wasn't disappointed, I was excited cuz I know they're gearing up for the tidal wave of drama. Even when Camille is being "good", she still has such a calculated, bitchy expression on her face, like a "you're getting what you deserve!" expression while watching everyone else having their traumas and uncomfortable conversations. I didn't see the first half of the 1st season, but I love Kyle. Is she a saint? Nah, but she stirs the pot and I like it. Kim is one of those who isn't particularly glamorous or someone to admire, but she sure is a hot mess that's always good for a laugh (laughing *at*, not with...) Lisa will do just fine being painted as "the bitch." She can wipe the floor with any of 'em. Adrienne... I wanna like her, cuz I think her intentions are good, but boy is she one nagging nagging housewife. Her and her husband are both pretty insufferable. I found her pretty blah, pretty much the weak link, last season. But it looks like her story will get juicier this season.

Haven't seen the show yet, but that looks awful and doesn't fit the feel of that show at all. I still liked their first sets from The City best. The set used last season seemed too small and didn't utilize their expansive studio space.

I love Theresa's insanity and quirks of the first 2 seasons, but you are right: she's coming off bad this season. She's definitely in the wrong, but her husband it the real issue here.

Each season of any Real Housewives is generally $20 at Target. That's how I caught up on all things Jersey & Atlanta

I heart Lisa. When my friends and I used to categorize ourselves as the housewives, hubby said I was the Lisa of the group. I took it as an extreme compliment

I agree 100%. Cynthia is blah. Sheree has run her course. Kathy isn't very interesting. As for NYC, I've only watched this past season so maybe she's run her course too, but I like LuAnn. Besides, I'm certain she's got another sure-fire music hit in her!

NeNe? Theresa? Where would the drama from New Jersey and Atlanta stem from? I think if any original castmember has nothing substantial left to add, it's Atlanta's Sheree. She's just a shallow, blindly self-entitled, stuck-up woman who doesn't like the threat of other pretty women in the same room as her. So over her.

Those images are hilarious! Any others? Love my Jersey and Atlanta girls!

No, no, they can squeeze out one more year with my girl NeNe. But I'm certain this will be her last year. Even though I just got on the Real Housewives bandwagon, I feel like alot of these franchises have peaked; they've had their Moldavian Massacre, and now they're going to start to dwindle and die out. I could be completely wrong though, so don't quote me

I love Lisa Ling doing in-depth documentaries, but she was never the right fit for The View. Good for her for leaving and finding her niche. Looking forward to Rosie's new talk show. Starr.... Starr oh Starr... Glad she's off The View, but she sure makes a good love-to-hate-her villainess. Loved seeing her in action on Celebrity Apprentice this past Spring, but boy was she a master manipulator And yes, The View overall is blah nowadays. Politics yada yada, Elizabitch's nails-on-a-chalkboard voice, yada yada, Sherri is dumb, Joy always rips a joke (I do like her, though), Whoopi is alright but nothing worth mentioning, and Barbara looks like a lollipop: great big head and a stick for a body.

Does anyone else think that Albie is gay? If I remember correctly (I started getting into the show this season, so the specifics of what I originally watched early on is a little hazy), aren't Caroline's two sons and that other friend of theirs (who clearly is on the flamboyant side) all living together now? I wouldn't be surprised if Albie is gay (I guess Danielle's homophobic bodyguard was correct!) but they don't address it for the cameras. Just a guess. Could be wrong.

They're coming to Chicago!!! Oh, if only NeNe were coming! But BH's Lisa is!!

Peter briefly becomes kinda on the psychotic controlling side at one point towards the end of the 5th season when he thinks of Taylor as his dead wife (whose name escapes me at the moment). He makes Taylor dress up like a Stepford wife and wants her to be a lil' susie homemaker. Taylor and Michael of course egg it on by making him think he's losing his mind, but for awhile he does act like a creep again. We're currently re-watching Season 6; Part 2.... this show is all over the place now! I never really cared for the whole Christine story with Taylor, Kyle, Amanda, etc., and Michael's little stripper girlfriend reminds me of Arianne Zuker from DAYS.

I'd love it if they brought back previous housewives like Lisa. If she's afraid to air her true dirty laundry, well oh well. Makes sense that she'd want to hide it. Speaking of Atlanta, Lisa looks similar to that outspoken sex "therapist" from Atlanta, Alekyss K. Tyler (look her up on YouTube! She's hilarious about vagina and penis power, LOL). Too bad she doesn't have any real money because I'd pay to see *her* on the Atlanta show! NeNe is *love* I love the way she delivers her words, the one-liners she makes, etc. She just cracks me up more than anything. But I'm guessing this season will be her last, just based upon what's already happened and the fact that's she seems to be branching out and getting involved in other things.

Aw, I liked Lisa alot (I liked her husband even more! Yum, yum!!) but I had read somewhere that she declined to do a 3rd season when the Bravo producers wanted to make up fabrications (i.e. lies) in order to give her a more interesting story. Phaedra? I honestly don't remember an actual "story" for her, other than her talking about different booty types and the scene of her baby projectile pooping during a photo shoot. I like her, certainly more than Cynthia (yawn!) but don't remember anything significant. Guess I gotta rewatch season 3 when they repeat it!

Yeah, that's my "concern" too. There's a real hatred/dislike of a lot of those broads, blondes vs. brunettes. To say they're going to try to be friends is just phony and they're only putting themselves in the same situations because the cameras are rolling. Meanwhile, it'll be interesting to see how Atlanta fares in season 4 since NeNe and Kim reportedly do not share ANY scenes together...

Having not watched all of NYC and only going by what I saw of this season and then the reunions, it seems there are two ladies that are just dead weight: Cindy and Kelly. Kelly added absolutely nothing substantial to the episodes nor the reunion except to randomly yell out insults and call people weird. Cindy is just tag-along bitch who has an ax to grind with anyone just for the sake of having something to do. Get rid of those two. Ramona and Sonja just make me laugh. They can be superficial and ignorant, but at the same time so humorous and fun-loving. Alex is always dismissed, her comments are always belittled. She just seems to be the nerd that everyone makes fun of. I don't necessarily like her or root for her, but she's better than the 2 lumps on a log on the brunette couch. LuAnn, yes she is haughty and thinks of herself as the high authority, but there's something about her I like. Maybe it's because she reminds me of a dragqueen. That RuPaul-like song of hers is catchy! Jill. I liked her mostly while watching during the season, but she came off as a real sanctimonous see-you-next-tuesday on the reunion. I'm not surprised that the reunion lost viewers for the 2nd half. There was WAY too much talking over each other, sometimes 6 of the 7 going at once, nothing cohereant. It was worse than when The View ladies all go off at the same time. I do agree with you all that to go on another season with this same cast would be incredibly forced and not believable, even for reality TV.

What are "DRS" and "RTPP"?
