OMG, Franky D is starting to resemble... Drake Hogestyn?!

The only thing Teddi is good for is mockery and ridicule, both from viewers AND her castmates. She bugs me worse than Meghan King Edmonds ever did. @Chris B I agree about Kenya. She started off strong and sympathetic, and then resorted to her shady messy ways and then it's hard to sympathize or root for her anymore. And @Cat Lord help us if another Kelly Dodd egomaniac is created in the Bravo laboratory!

I love that everyone rallied around Heather. From Marcia to Grant to especially Andrew Shue, it's so great that this cast has genuine love, respect, and appreciation, as well as have fond recollections of their Melrose days. MP had the catfights onscreen, but unlike their sister show 90210, those didn't play out behind the scenes, thank goodness. Crazy to hear how that first season was filmed all year long. Also interesting hearing how Melrose was taped in a similar fashion to soap operas - multiple episodes being shot on the same day, little-to-no rehearsal time. It's quite amazing, and a wonderful treat for us fans, how MP had around 32-34 episodes per season for every year except for the final year, I think. And a couple of those episodes were 2-hours long, be it February sweeps or the May finale. It was great fun, and they said they'll be doing another Melrose reunion! Once they figure out how to have more than 5 people onscreen at a time, and perhaps additional castmembers. Yay!

So glad to see Heather will be joining! Same with Thomas Calabro. I was always disappointed he didn't join in the 2012 Entertainment Weekly reunion cover shoot.

Sad to hear the news. Side note: Is this show still on? My hubby misses his Miss Juicy Baby.

Yeah... I think this is a combination of Bravo wanting to evolve some of their shows, along with trying to keep costs down by having their expensive OG's run themselves out of town. They did Vicki dirty, they did LVP dirty 'til she got the upper hand and they realized they needed to keep the idea of her alive for the remainder of the season, they exposed and embarrassed Teresa, and then there's Nene who's been digging her own grave for the past couple years. Had Bethenny not left NYC on her own, maybe Bravo would've targeted Ramona or Luann next? I'm sure both sides are guilty (Nene vs. production), but Nene plays into it and comes off as someone on the outside looking in, making complaints and excuses, whether right or wrong. At least with Vicki, once word leaked that she would not be returning, kept it simple and left gently into that good night. I don't think Karen, etc. from Potomac are in danger because the show is still "new" in comparison to the others, and still not as well known. Beverly Hills, started in 2010, seems to be the last star-maker, with subsequent series (Miami, Potomac, Dallas) only producing "Bravolebrities."

Leah's comment about respecting her elders (i.e. Ramona) reminded me of Kristen Taekman saying the same thing back in season 6. This core group of women are not at the baby-popping stage anymore, so when they bring in the youngsters by comparison, it's usually quite jarring. BTW. That episode was a hilarious shi#show and I was rolling with laughter the entire time. I don't know how Sonja's dildo got into the mix of things, but it looked crazy fun. LOL at Ramona dipping out from her own place to make an appearance at the other party. LOL at Sonja in general. LOL at Leah's rage towards the tikis (Charlottesville!). Again, loved Ramona's growth (ha, I mean she is over 60) at being sincere and understanding to LuAnn for leaving to sleep at her own place, and encouraging her to come back. Man, being in LuAnn's shoes would be rough at a time like that when everyone is plastered. When you're in it, it's fun, but if you're on the outside as a Sober Sally, all the drunkies become quite annoying.

Ugh, this is literally my backyard.

Well, it's disappointing that Potomac is being pushed back, but totally understandable. Might as well let NYC and Beverly Hills be the sole Housewives series airing, and ration out the rest for down the road. Besides, before the additions of Potomac and Dallas, there was usually only two airing consecutively anyhow. ATL: The finale was ho-hum. Porsha flip-flopped and was playing both sides of the fence with the two groups of friends, but whatevs. Nene can go and Bravo can save money. I don't understand why Kandi and Todd wanted another child when they can barely make time for the ones they've got, let alone run all their businesses, but okay. BH: Alrighty now, last night's episode was Damage Control City for certain housewives (cough, Dorit, cough Erika). I liked how they aired the producer questions in the talking head shots for Dorit, as it presented awkward moments of her reactions. Thanks to Andy *finally* being transparent at the last reunion, there were lots of mainstream rumors about Dorit and PK's finances and marriage, as well as Erika and Tom's finances and marriage. And so we get generalized answers from Dorit and lovey-dovey crap of Erika/Tom. "Everything is settled, that's all behind us, we live together, yada yada yada" ... "I have loved him for 20 years, I tear up just talking about him, we still have decent sex, yada yada yada." I wasn't buying ANY of the Dorit or Erika scenes. Sorry, no purchase. Years from now when Tom passes away, you just KNOW Erika is gonna get her cougar on and f**k as many 25 year olds as possible after all those years of pent up sexual frustration. LOL at Rinna being Rinna and goading Teddi into being defensive and paranoid about the housewives not wanting to attend her lame event. 3 years in and Teddi still doesn't know how to play the game in reality TV. The vibe I got from the whole buildup is that none of the other housewives really care about Teddi and only feign interest when OG uncredited producer Kyle is around. I loved Garcelle's blunt honesty to Teddi. Sutton's reaction was pretty slick too, especially the side dig she gave before she scampered off to berate the West Hollywood mayor about parking tickets. +1 to Erika's comment regarding Sutton: doesn't matter if it's couture if you look like [!@#$%^&*] in it. The "journey" (© Yolanda) of Denise's surgery was entertaining to watch. Four hernias? Yikes. Still liking her. I'll ignore her behavior towards Camille at last year's reunion for now. Ugh at next week's preview with Teddi tearing up and storming out because the world Sutton thinks she's boring. Geez Bravo, this is what you're airing? No wonder rumors were abundant that the new season would be a dud before they brought out their old hag arsenal (Kim, Brandi etc.)

Those were the best Those and Sears. My very young self had no idea why I was so interested in the mens Hanes underwear pages

Where I grew up (Chicago burbs), the flagship stores were: Marshall Fields Lord & Taylor JC Penney Sears I listed them in that order intentionally based on price & quality, at least from my perspective back then. However, our JC Penney was always well put together, with intricate displays of clothing, bedding, etc. I happened to wander in a JC Penney this past Christmas season and yikes, how the mighty have fallen! It's sad to see the sign of the times affect stores like these, and the whole "mall experience" fading quickly as a whole.

Ya know... though I hate the idea of idiots potentially spreading it to those who WANT to be safe (i.e. essential workers, etc.), at the same time, if Trump-loving idiots want to spread it among themselves while the rest of us stay safe, well... at least Republican voter turnout may be low come November 3rd :::shrug::: There's just no hope for reasoning with so many of them at this point....

There's too much love for Gigi, and Jan should've definitely won the week prior (I actually liked Jan a lot; sad to see her go). That said, I foresee/hope the Top 4 are: Jaida, Heidi, Jackie, and Gigi. Jaida has improved by leaps and bounds from her Gays Anatomy days My dark horse pick is Heidi. Lordy, she cracks me up! And that voice... it's like he's a long-lost Jackson family sibling. I hope LaToya is a guest judge!

Wow, I'm excited to see all the vintage Y&R! I understand B&B's standpoint from a business perspective, but stuff from the last 10 years doesn't qualify as "classic" to me. I would be interested in seeing them dip back into 1984 and showcase Katherine's/Jeanne's face lift episode.

Thanks! Saving this link too. And LOL to that vibrator in the chicken. Next week's show is going to be a hot drunken mess at Ramona's house. Even SHE is pissed at the mess the next morning.

Ah, thanks!!

Now that TV By the Numbers is gone, my own daily habit of checking out the ratings is over, but I looked up this past week and wow, Empire had less than 3 million! Where does everyone go for ratings now? I checked out Deadline but I was only seeing network or cable news numbers. Was looking to check out Housewives in comparison to other cable shows. I don't watch other Bravo shows other than Housewives, so are they pushing Beverly Hills (from Tues to Wed) and NYC (from Wed to Thurs) out later in the week because they have a lot of other successful shows on Mon & Tues? I was hollering even more at next week's preview LOL These women are a MESS! Loved the edit where Tinsley says Leah will stay in line around her, and next we see naked Leah dancing around in the yard. Sonja was giving me all the giggles, but I admit it was cringeworthy because the other people who aren't used to Housewives/TV antics, were not having it for the most part, and you know it goes to Sonja's head when she's back in that high society environment that *used* to be her daily life. Thanks for the tour of the house. I hope Ramona gets a cut when the house sells. Boy was I delightfully surprised at Ramona's reaction to LuAnn's nasty text. She didn't blow up at all! Instead, she was very diplomatic, apologetic, and dare I say even sincere when leaving LuAnn a message and later telling Sonja they should've buddied up and slept in the same bed so LuAnn could've had Sonja's room. Well done, Singer!

OMG I totally forgot about her. She was the 4th wheel on that tricycle of women at the table. EDIT: I'm surprised they never mention Denise Richards being a series regular on The Bold & the Beautiful. They always showed ample footage of Eileen Davidson on DAYS/Y&R, along with Erika's Y&R appearance and Kyle's DAYS stint. Why no B&B love? Especially since there's the international appeal tie-in.

Garcelle not being a fan of Kyle warms my heart. Kyle may be the OG, but we know Rinna has been itching for that crown for years. Kyle vs. Rinna is bound to happen, if not this year, certainly next. Garcelle (or was it Sutton?) mentioned in an interview that the Rinna they've known for years is different than the Rinna they see on RHOBH. When an actor can't find work acting, they act on "reality" television. The first episode was alright. I admit, they got me intrigued with the ending teaser. Funny how their first episode was exclusively in NYC. I'm surprised we don't see RHONY at NYFW anymore. Damn, why do they give us only glimpses of our Faye? I need to see more of that rubber face! I loved the iorny how Sutton dogged celebrities putting their names on a fashion line -- even dissed Rihanna (my hubby was not pleased by that remark, especially since hers is quite successful) -- yet here she is attending Bangs Richards' low-rent rag event. Erotika needs to ditch those space suit get-ups like yesterday. The one thing that did surprise me about the ending teaser was them posting the headline of an article stating Denise and Brandi had a sexual relationship. Even though anyone with a slight interest and access to internet could find that out, I thought they'd save that reveal for down the road.

Aw, sad but fitting that the all-star jock is teaching highschool football so he can recall his glory days over and over.

Best wishes to you and your family

Good. I hope we get to see that

Zimmer also said she didn't think her son was ready to portray something that complex and important.
