+1 on "Why Isn't Danielle Staub A Housewife??" P.S. Of all the women in Housewifeland who are trying as hard as they can to stave off Father Time, I gotta go with Ramona as the one fighting off aging the best. I can't wait to see what they all look like at 70 They can't fight him forever...

Wow, Dolly Parton’s variety show started out strong! I remember watching a couple episodes in the late 80’s my mom taped on VHS. Even though I was only 4, I distinctively remember that FOX Sunday night lineup. Duet was retooled and renamed Open House.

"Meh" was my first thought, too. And I'd have to agree with @Cheap21 There's a lack of spark in that promo without Kenya.

Agreed. I just keep hoping we can stave off as much damage as humanly possible that he plans on doing before January 2021.

Oh SNAP! I need Potomac to return next week

Eww, Kavanaugh speaking/shouting is extremely off-putting. Reminds me of a Will Ferrell impression on SNL (hmm...)

I can't believe she's 39 and has gone all funhouse mirror on her face for the past 6+ years. She was beautiful as she was. Sure, she had acne scarring on her skin, but she didn't need to shave half her jaw off.

Yeah, I'm surprised Shannon is included as she and Alexis/Jim didn't appear on the show at the same time, but who knows :::shrug::: Oh Gretchen... well if nothing else, it'll give conflict for Tamra vs. Vicki, plus we'll get to see whatever incarnation Gretchen currently has going for a face.

Yes, team Karen for that wig moment! I couldn't support any New Yorkers except LuAnn. Too much Bethenny... (and Dorinda was too ugly this year). Funny that for "Best Friends," they have NYC's Ramona and NJ's Melissa together.

I knew it was only a matter of time. All his sexcapades with 22 year old's can't all be sweetness 'n light. Side note: I noticed while watching RHOC that one of the co-executive producers listed is Lynsey Dufour. My mouth dropped when I saw that name. Not only was she a former script writer at Y&R during the Lynn Marie Latham days, but.... I interned with her at Y&R in '04. Oy. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do some day drinking and ponder my life's choices of the past fourteen years

I can't with Melissa's new mouth. Like, why?

Dolores makes for a decent supporting role so I’m glad she’s still there. Margaret ended up being a hit last year so I hope it continues and she isn’t hit with the 2nd season curse (P.S. her mother is so freaking cute). Otherwise, the Teresa/Melissa stuff looks to be same ol same ol. I’m hoping Margaret continues to be a big part of the drama, that Teresa and Dolores patch things up, and that one or both of the new girls are a success. RHONJ has had such a problem with evolving, and at the root of it, we still have it centered on the famb-il-lee dynamic of Tre/Mel. Oh, and no Danielle? Is Bravo going to dangle that carrot like they do Camille? I hope she at least appears a lot like last season.

Save your time and don't bother. It's a stand-alone season where Teresa looks so bored fighting with a bunch of new people when she's really worrying about her family's future jail time and just there for the paycheck. Oh and Melissa's there as always, riding Tre's coattails. The only highlight of The Dunkin' Donuts Twins and Amber season is the allegation that one of the twin's husband had sex with their mother (her name is Santa. "You had sex with Santa?" LOL). Also, Amber's husband was kind of a lovable prick. Perhaps Amber & hubby would've worked better had they brought them on earlier or later, but S6 was just pointless.

Agreed; in a Housewives lull right now. I have like 6 OC episodes to catch up on and I'm not enticed to watch. So we have Atlanta returning early November... if New Jersey returns soon after, you think Bravo would try putting it behind Atlanta to help boost their numbers? They tanked last year being on Wednesdays.

Another talk show that's destined to only last 2 seasons, just like Meredith Vieira and Katie Couric. P.S. Did Bethenny Frankel ever pay Omarosa the 10K they bet on during B's talk show when Omarosa predicted the show wouldn't last more than a year? Haha...

Barbara sounds promising! I love that, once again, she shares an actual history with the cast. NYC and Potomac are so fortunate to have that continuously going for them. As others have mentioned, I'm more excited about Potomac returning (which we'll have to wait for until next Spring probably) than BH or ATL which is sad, as I used to consider them the 2 biggest heavy hitters of the Housewives series. I don't know what to make of the newbies on ATL or Eva being upped to full-time wife, but I'm not super excited. At least Nene is here for another season and I'm glad she took that time away to let out all the air that had gotten to her head. BH, eh, just make Camille a full-time wife so we can see her sashay across the screen in the opening again.

Damn. I really liked it actually. I was just glad to see Alicia Silverstone in something fun again. Playing catchup on this thread finally. And I'd have to agree this was the only "refreshing" thing about Part 3 of the reunion was Ramona & Sonja's mutual admiration for one another, despite a season where they were nearly pitted against one another. The genuine friendship shined at the end. Same with Sonja/LuAnn and hell, there IS a special friendship/understanding with Ramona/LuAnn despite all their petty ups and downs. At the root of it, they look out for each other. Carole had me and then lost me by downplaying her friendship with Tinsley. I gotta say, despite seeming so much younger than the other cast members, this "youngster" has ended up blending quite well with the ladies, and veterans like Ramona seem to genuinely like her. The big question for Season 11 is just how ugly it will get with Queen Bethenny still calling all the shots behind the scenes. And Dorinda, PLEASE clean up your act. This was such a bad season for you. You were the golden girl for three solid seasons but fell hard this year.

Re: RHONY Reunion... did anyone else catch the comment Ramona made as she was listing off her many business ventures she was handling and how it "caused her marriage to end" or something to that effect?

Saw RHONY Reunion, Part 1. It's like the opposite of ATL (disappointing season; great reunion). RHONY had a banner year, but this reunion has fallen into the toxicity levels of their season 4 reunion before the mass overhaul. It definitely felt hollow without LuAnn there, as she was the driving force of so much of this past year. Seeing Andy prop up Bethenny and halt conversation when the other women called her to task was pathetic. I'm glad Carole calls out Andy next week; another friendship ends due to the show. Other than Dorinda's refusal to own up to her dependence on alcohol and her insistence that LuAnn owes her an apology (she doesn't), I actually didn't mind Ramona, Dorinda, and Carole calling out all of B's antics. It just stinks that EVERYONE spoke at once (shades of S4 reunion). Sonja looked pathetic, being B's lil sidekick (to which Ramona called her a puppydog... I *loved* when Ramona put her hand over Sonja's rambling mouth at one point). Ramona's delivery isn't always the best, but she threw out A LOT of dirt about Bethenny not supporting other women, ruining friendships, not having female friends and all the BTS garbage B pulls on the show. And if Bethenny wants to hold onto a grudge where Ramona called her out on the Brooklyn Bridge way back in 2010, it's only because Ramona's prophesy was correct. I also loved Carole's digs that so much of what Bethenny does is for the cameras and what she does when the cameras are off are two different things. Which is what this report about her time in Puerto Rico echos: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5456121/Bethenny-Frankel-tried-quit-RHONY-feud-Carole-Radziwill.html As much as Season 10 delivered in spades, it sounds like behind-the-scenes have gotten so dark and toxic, with Bethenny serving as an uncredited producer and having so much influence with the show. With Carole gone, it'd be great to have Heather Thomson back (wow, I was always indifferent about her, but you know she'd called out B's bull, even if just for one season). I'm guessing next season we're going back to two-team alliances with Bethenny/LuAnn/Sonja versus everyone else. Hmm... not liking where this is headed. P.S. Is the reunion 2 parts or 3? If Lu were there, it'd for sure be 3.

Something about NYC's season three finale felt like the perfect bow to an outstanding year (Bethenny to Jill: "You have to change a lot and I mean that." Jill: "I am who I am.") plus you had setup for the next year (Jill refusing to have a moment with Alex when Alex came up to her). The big event was Ramona and Mario's vow renewal. I think the worst was that goofyass way they ended season three of New Jersey, with Caroline's family all reading Teresa's cookbook and getting all miffed about her "Olive Garden" remark for set-up to next season's drama (not to mention the season finale, taped mid-way through season 4). All of that was a logistical mess. Camille

Christ! Who's the burned up body? I haven't watched this nonsense since Veronica was pushing that girl onto Jeffrey (P.S. the actress didn't impress me here, but she's great on Dear White People). P.S. Is the dead girl's college professor still jogging around with a knife stuck in his back?

Will sloppy Charrisse attack her usual victim Karen or go after someone else? Perhaps make a mountain of a molehill when Candiace came for her. Karen said something about Gizelle which to me was telling when she remarked, "you've been up Bravo's ass for the past 3 years." I think Karen & Gizelle (like ATL's Kim/Nene/Sheree) were good friends before the fame and notoriety of reality TV came around and all the two-facedness and side digs and rehearsed one-liners came in and chipped away at a genuine friendship. Anyhow, I loved the reunion. I knew Bravo was faking us again with Karen's breakdown. They wanted us to think it was about finances/where she lives/her and Ray's marriage, when it was really all about her parents. Poor thing. This 3rd year of Potomac has been their breakout year and I love it. Like others have mentioned, one goofy thing about it is using "Potomac" as the title when over half of them live in other towns/states. I've never been to the area so I guess it's hard to pinpoint one set area when so many large affluent towns and cities are in close proximity. I would suggest "Real Housewives of Maryland" but some are in Virginia.

+1 for both. Their teasing with Camille's "friend of" appearances last year were not enough. It is too bad that Faye felt the wrath of fans and it scared her off, because she's a great blend of trash-turned-class, successful, bitchy, not afraid to tell the truth pot stirrer this show so desperately needs right now.

Definitely. It looked too staged and Michael isn't a convincing actor. Potomac and NYC have served me everything I've needed from a Housewives show this past year. Kinda sad but appropriate that they're both wrapping up now. I still don't hate Ashley but I'm not stanning for her. At least she doesn't come off as an ugly hater like Gizelle, Robyn, and Charrisse. I finally warmed to Candiace on the season finale episode, ironically. She can stay another season for consistency, now that she built up a little bit of a camaraderie with the vets. Karen's dismissive behavior towards Ashley at the rooftop party (in October! They wrapped filming quite awhile ago in comparison to NYC!) had me rolling. Karen's front she puts up is just funny and entertaining. We can laugh with her instead of at her, unlike Sheree Whitfield. There's creating an illusion, and then there's delusion. Karen is the former; Sheree the latter. OC definitely feels like a chore to watch in comparison. I feel like they're already stuck in a story rut, so something needs to jolt things up and switch it around. Kelly Dodd, I feel like she's made it three seasons by default because the other newbies were dull as dishwater and made no lasting mark. She can be funny and mildly entertaining, but overall she's very sloppy and messy and blurts out horrible remarks without ever thinking first.

Looks juicy!! Is it a 2 part or 3? Those couches look too small. They look cramped. I'm looking forward to seeing Karen/BrokeBillGates vs. Michael. Candiace looks like she's trying hard to come back for another season.
