Trust. As I said back then, I'll say it again: We get Karen Huger's schtick. We are along for the ride with her. We know it's not delusion; it's just an illusion. A fun ride for the cameras. Excellent rundown. +1 Agreed. Love her or hate her, she's what makes RHONY what it is, and it's been chugging along for 13 solid years. With things so uncertain regarding this current cast, I would sooner bet the network put this gossip out there on purpose to gauge viewer reaction. Leah is tanking fast and hard while Eboni hasn't landed well overall. Honestly, the only safe bet these days is Sonja Tremont Morgan, bless her heart.

Just in: Vanessa Marcil in as Taylor! Just in: Ingo Rademacher returns as Thorne!

Wendy went the Jennifuh from Jersey route and got a whole new body for her second season. LOL at her only admitting to the tittie job though. New girl Mia, while not a mathematic genius, had a decent debut. Sadly, she's one of those women who've had too much work done to the point that she looks like she's 15 years older trying to look 15 years younger. And she's only 36! (That was her final answer on her age, right? lol) I'm glad the Grande Dame has an instant ally though, as she'll need it (at least while preggo Ashley is busy in labor). It was a great debut! It felt a little off without Monique, and a little too much Wendy. Sorry, I'm just not feeling her. She gives me low-budget Omarosa vibes. However, if she aligns herself with Karen and sees the light about Gizelle, there's good promise. +1 on liking Gizelle/Robyn looking around the table looking at the place cards. I can appreciate their genuine, fun friendship together. Candaice. Ugh. That's all.

I'm a fan of Bryan Dattilo, but yeah, that hairdo needs to go. His facial structure has changed through the years (wider jawline now) and aside from it being outdated, it does him no favors.

Attending MAGA rallies alongside Winsor Harmon, Antonio Sabato Jr, and Ingo Rademacher perhaps?

Lord... folks... just when you thought she was out of the water. Now we learn she's part of an MLM Pyramid cult scheme. I can even tell you which one: [redacted]. Look up the reviews. I'm amazed people can be so dumb, naïve, and vulnerable to fall for such garbage. It's cultish and similar to the idea of Scientology. She's trying to get our good friend to join now (so that she can make it through to the "third tier."). That's it. We're done with her. It's a lost cause. On second thought, I'm not going to list the name because I don't want those crazies to find this thread down the line during a random google search. That's how nuts these people can be.

I haven't watched last night's episode of RHONY yet, but when you take this, and add the Ramona/LuAnn/Sonja conversation where Sonja says of Eboni that this is "her platform," plus you had Ramona's lil side comment a few weeks back about being scared to get the wrath of Eboni... it's so awkwardly clear Eboni is here strictly due to the color of her skin and how she can provide the Upper East Side ladies some "teachable moments" that will hopefully resonate with viewers. It's all so awkward, obvious, and cringeworthy. They've taken my favorite franchise and made it a chore to watch.

Oh my... Mario's DILF days are behind him...

I started watching RHONY towards the end of their 4th season, and I could've sworn it was on Tuesdays that year (2011). I agree with those who have said Dorinda needed a season off to get her stuff together. She admitted the same. It sounded like a mutual split, with the invitation to return in a year. It's just too bad the timing was off since we had just unexpectedly lost Bethenny, then Tinsley mid-year. RHONY is in a tough spot with only 3 vets (the same trio who survived the purge of Season 5), 1 sophomore who is quickly crashing and burning out of favor with viewers, and 1 newbie who is here to tick a box that says, "look we're diverse now!" and then proceeds to take us to school every. single. episode. A big F***YOU to Leah for running Heather off. And her WWHL explanation on going on the trip solidified what we all thought: she thought it was more important to be present for filming a reality show than to be with her grandmother on her literal last days on earth.

Right after Philip mentions his prosthetic leg...

Glad to hear she'll be back.

Yaass! I loved Karen's and Ashley's. Absolute perfection. (and +1 on retiring Kyle's "in Beverly Hills" "my town" blah blah basic boring shi*)

+1 on Valerie (the fabulous Vanessa Williams) being Abe's best pairing since Lexie. Why they didn't keep her around is beyond me. I liked her friendship with Marlena and Kayla, too.

Agreed. Ashley is necessary to Potomac, and I for one enjoy her messy ass

Excellent write-up. I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I loved that Sutton called a spade a spade and production showed the receipts on Crystal. Garcelle continues to be full of win and a voice of reason; a true Greek chorus (but without hawking a Skinnygirl brand every two seconds, thank you Jesus) Kathy Hilton is reality TV gold. Even her appearance on WWHL was hilarious. Kyle definitely needed a boost and she's using the right sister this time around. Rinna's squawking like a cat in pain is ridiculous. So is her hypocrital loyalty to Erika. I guess she can't tell Erika to "own it" because she owns nothing? Erika. Ugh. I can't even. You already said it all. Even True O'Brien is a better actress. To be honest though, I'd be fine with both of them going. But if it were to happen, Bravo should then shovel buckets of money to Monique to return for Season 7. Personally, I'm glad to hear she's tanking. She is the absolute biggest buzzkill. Hubby and I groan and roll our eyes at nearly everything she says and does. It's so desperate and obnoxious. And the Susan Banks clothing? Eek!! She definitely brings down my enjoyment of RHONY this season. Jill Zarin, get your ass back, stat!

Don't know if I glossed over this OC tidbit earlier in the thread, but I read Tamra is back, but in a "friend of" capacity.

Sigh... those lusciously long locks (i.e. extensions) she be rocking while chasing around the Lady in White to free John in Aremid, and later in Paris at the extravagant ball with her boobies on full display. Good times.

I used to write a lot and came up with many synopses and character write-ups. Only 2 projects ever amounted to anything noteworthy. In highschool I wrote a script called "The Young and the Helpess" and ended up shooting it, using friends from highschool and my friend's camera. I edited it on my own software and basically did everything except the actual acting portion. (look it up on YouTube, haha). You could call it a parody, although everything was portrayed seriously. Main character names included Bo, Hope, and Gina. Presumed-dead evil twin returns and takes over the good twin's life. Yada yada yada, all the main soap ingredients, complete with DAYS' original background music from their 1999 soundtrack. EDIT: forgot to mention. I submitted Young and Helpless to my future college for a scholarship. A good half dozen or so of us at my high school were trying out to get it. Surprisingly, after being an underdog all through highschool, not doing many tv/film projects, I was able to snag the scholarship. I had some haters when they found out I beat them 😂 The other project was a complete bible I wrote in college for independent credit coinciding with my semester in L.A. interning at a certain soap. The bible was called "Forces of Love" and featured 5 main families. I can't remember all of them, but there were the rich Penningtons, the upper-middle Sterlings and middle class Barrys. I know I modeled the Penningtons similar to GL's Spaulding family. The Sterlings were similar to DAYS' Horton clan. One of the Sterling sons and Barry sons were both gay and ended up together (both highchool aged). My college professor, a huge All My Children fan, absolutely loved the bible. Alas, it was far too late in the game to actually submit to a network as soaps were already starting to die.

Excellent OC decisions! Kelly Dud is finally OUT! Glad Heather is back.

Agreed.

That's a funny analogy. Just like when Garcelle and Rinna were admiring the beams of the ceiling. How ridiculously hypocritical (and funny) for Crystal to burst into tears and be all verklempt over Sutton seeing her nekkid a full 24 hours prior. Quite a delayed reaction. Two basket cases with easy trigger points. What, did Crystal not like Sutton inferring that she might've walked in on her masturbating or something? Gurl bye. Ah so Terri DeMarques Houston gave Crystal pointers on how to navigate through RHOBH. Well it's no wonder she's cozied up to Kyle; gotta get in good with one of the producers!

Oh I *love* this! LOL The Grande Dame right by his side. Ashley looking fabulous. Robyn looks lost, LOL. Gizelle is blurry and airbrushed in both shots. I am glad to see more love being given to POTOMAC.

I'm nearly a month behind, but I know a bad actress when I see one, and Precious was... not good.

Ugh classless ho. You should be at your granny's beside, heffa. She could've sacrificed one girl's trip to be at her grandmother's side. Is her fattened Bravo paycheck and thirst to be The Star blinding her judgment calls? Me thinks so.

I'm glad to hear they're trying to lure back Tamra and Heather. Tamra is a necessary evil on this franchise, and the fact that she still had so many connections to last season's drama proves they were unwise to cut her loose. Heather is a delicious ice queen, similar to SLC's Lisa Barlow. I forget why Jeff Lewis hates her, but she brings good drama, whether she's in a supporting role or a lead. What's the tea on OC otherwise? I thought Braunwyn already announced her departure.
