Dang... BBW gets no love? I'm glad the show is back. Both Evelyn and Jennifer talk trash so I don't see why Evelyn was getting so bent out of shape with Jennifer's comment about Chad. The whole thing looked stage but I liked them fighting. Hopefully Jennifer will grow a a pair but I doubt it. Tami was pretty funny with her facial expressions. And speaking of Ms. Tami, I was really surprised to hear her say she doesn't give a damn about Royce. I guess she's drinking the kool-aid since she now has her mouth pressed against Evelyn's ass. Poor Royce, she really does seem irrelevant. Previews for next week look fantastic.

I can't believe I actually use to like Taylor when the series began. She's such a pretenious phony. She and Cammile will have lots to talk about. I tried getting into the other series but I find them all boring. ATL and BH can't come soon enough for me. Nene's son got arrested again for shoplifting. I hope they air some of that stuff.

What happened to BW this week?

Poor Royce, with Tami playing nice she's now the only outsider looking in. Really surprised at Tami.

Speaking of weaves... I really love Tami's. Last seasons she looked tore up and the wigs and weaves were a damn mess. The lipo kicked in, skin looks flawless and she looks fantastic, especially in the soundbites. Good for her.

I'm excited but skeptical. BW can be a great franchise if they got better women to showcase. The little I saw of Gloria was boring, and as a headliner? Come on now. If the franchise want to expand they need to get women of famous basketball players who can bring the drama and dish the dirt!

BW is great escapism but the girls need more than getting together talking about why they don't like the other side. It's old and it's getting repetitive. Could you imagine the ATL housewives doing the same? There's only so many segments Royce can call Eveleyn a hoe. The scenes with her dad not wanting her to dive into another relationship so quickly were good. The show needs more of this. They didn't show much of Jennifer because if she isn't kissing Evelyn's ass there's nothing for her to do. Susie is boring and irrelevant and unless Meeka is going to provide more than gossip then she needs to go. Why should we care about the feud with Tami and Meeka if all they're going to do is trade insults at each other. Producers need to tighten it up.

Meeka looks like a bug and she's a snake for sure. She's badmouthing Royce behind her back and smiling in her face but Tami has her number! How did she find out? I guess one of the producers told her to get the drama poppin' If I were Royce I would be thinking WTF too with Susie bending over backwards to become Evelyn's friend again. And now Susie is "innocently" claiming she's caught in the middle between Royce and Evelyn's clique. Bitch! ETA: I'm catching up on Season 2. Had no idea Star's ex was on the show. This dude is so obviously gay. It's unbelievable Star didn't notice this before she married him. And what the hell went down in Vegas that had Evelyn foaming at the mouth. And I can't believe Jennifer was worrying about her marriage even back then. Sheesh!

I think I'm officially hooked on this show. It's so freaking good! I love Tami. There's something so natural about her and yet there's a vulnerability even when she's dropping those F bombs and looking tore up. I love that she tried once again (in vain) to dissuade Evelyn from those ridiculous T shirts and explained her reasons. The fact that Evelyn had the audacity to tell her she was willing to share the proceeds with her for her charity was ridiculous. And then she topped it by claiming she was trying to turn a negative into a positive. UGH! She's such a nasty bitch. There's nothing that's even remotely pleasant about that woman. She looks slutty, dirty and her mouth looks stank from all the hoeing she's been doing over the years. I continue to love Royce. I can't believe the producers wanted to get rid of her. Her "garden of hoeing" was priceless. "Roses here... cabbage there..." all the while providing a visual with her hands. Shaunie's starting to bug. She and her "neutral" ass is as fake as they come. Susie - irrelevant. Meeka is trouble for sure. Nobody trusts her because she already started with the badmouthing and she ain't friends with none of 'em. She definitely wants to be in Evelyn's clique but they already got her number. And home girl needs to tighten her weave. Just sayin'.

Oh. my. Gawd! What a teaser! The newest girl reminds me of Eric Snow's wife from RH of ATL. I cannot stand Evelyn and I love Royce. My only complaint about the show is that I wish these girls would cool it with the F bombs. I know they're ghetto but it's just too much. Otherwise, I'm there!

I just googled it, there an Army Wives on Lifetime. I've never even heard of these shows.

Spinoffs may be a possibility for Nene and Kim. http://blogs.ajc.com/radio-tv-talk/2011/04/28/bravo-in-talks-to-do-spin-off-shows-for-kim-zolciak-and-nene-leakes/?cxntlid=thbz_hm

TMZ reported the girls are getting around seven thousand per eppy and Evelyn is the now the highest paid with fifteen thousand. That's actually chump change compared to the girls from the Housewives franchise. On a side note: how many reality series end in "Wives". There's the Housewives, Basketball, Mob, and now "Wrestling Wives" is in production. Did I miss any? I think there's also Football, if I'm not mistaken.

I looked at at the season finale from the links and BW is a great show. All the dynamics are there so I'm surprised it's so low key. I wonder if the show was on BRAVO if it would have done better ratings wise. Some of the zingers were hilarious but dang, Evelyn is ghe-tto! She's a skanky hood rat and she ain't all that either. She just looks nasty. I think Royce is really pretty and so is Jennifer. I love her weave. She needs to hook me up with her stylist. Tami cleaned up really well. During the clips she looked broke and tore up but in the finale she looked cute. And Shaunie seems so reserved especially being the creator(?) of the show. TMZ reported they were looking to replace Royce with Chris Bosch's girlfriend, lol. I like Royce so I'm glad she stayed. Cheap, when does the next season debut?

Um, I thought Nene had lipo recently? The replies are hilarious! http://www.popeater.com/2011/03/28/nene-leakes-real-housewife-bikini-photo/

I can't believe they cancelled DC. Andy needs to do his homework because he's using their ratings (that were actually decent) as a scapegoat. This sucks.

Not surprising Andy's doing a live reunion. It's the only thing he could have done to salvage the series. They're going to need a reunion ala NJ to get people talking otherwise this will be Miami's one and only season.

Omarosa and Sheree from ATL was seen eating lunch in Hollywood. I wonder how she'll fit on either of the BH ot ATL series. Add the fact that this chick is now an assistant pastor. Oh vey!

It was a good move career wise for Camille to rejoin since she needed to stay relevant. She's already an after thought in Hollywood. BRAVO was trying their damnest to make her sympathetic in the end to entice her to stay so this isn't surprising. If BH is smart they'll amp the feud between Kyle, Taylor and Lisa with the twist of Kim and Camille being friends. And if ATL is smart they'll get Victoria Rowell on the phone. STAT!

Looks like Nene may be out for Season 4. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2011/03/06/2011-03-06_nene_out_on_the_real_housewives_of_atlanta.html?r=entertainment

I'm interested to know how much the franchise is worth. Andy is such a loveable goofball on Live and here there's a glimpse of the shrewd businessman he obviously is.

Regarding DC, I wonder if they're receiving political pressure because of the White House fiasco. The solution seems very simply by retooling the series without The Salahis but after some of the things I read in various blogs this series is definitely being held to a different standard to the other shows.

Demi Moore can pull off pregnant photos - Ms Zolciak cannot. I have a feeling Miami will be a sleeper hit. I caught a few segments with Cole and Rodman and it wasn't that bad. It was actually a good idea to premiere the show now rather than postponing it even later than it already was. The shelf life was costing Bravo money since they taped the show in 2009. Those still upset over NY and OC will most likely get over it and if Miami is a hit BRAVO wins. Win-win all around. Very dissapointed with ATL and Andy really needs to do better. I had such high expectations but they were boring although they were still better than BH. Why he thought devoting an entire LONG segment on motherhood would be entertaining is beyond me. Kandi looked like a transvestite on Live but she and Phaedra were a hoot. I hated her new look.
