Glad to see this. There seemed to be a lot of haters who wanted the show to fail.

I hope TP isn't dumb enough to kill off Candace, even though it seems obvious this show is building to a whodunit. He'll probably attempt a "Who Shot JR?" type of story.

Looking hit a series high with Sunday's episode. Hopefully, they'll announce a Season 2 renewal soon: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/02/25/true-detective-ratings-best-yet/

I watched this week. So much of this show is laughably amateurish, but then Veronica pulls out a line like, "Jeffrey, you have brought trash to the table." I hollered.

I loved last night's episode. It struck so many notes of identification for me - I've had similar conversations with would-be lovers in my day. And it's now more understandable how Patrick, a decent-looking thirtysomething in SF, has had so little experience. He's an "ex-fattie," and has deep-seated body and insecurity issues. Plus, his conservative upbringing has an impact. Those things, plus workaholism, can do a number on you for years. I thought Augustin was hot in the first episode, but the show has done a good job at killing my attraction to him. He's a prick.

Yep. Kenya kills in her THs because she has time to prep, but on her feet, she's out of her element. Marlo, on the other hand, could go toe-to-toe. I've been done with Nene for a while, and it's a shame because she has more natural charisma than any other RH. But she is surpassing Jill Zarin levels of delusion right now.

Bethenny's talk show cancelled: http://www.deadline.com/2014/02/bethenny-frankel-talk-show-cancelled/

Nene is so childish and tiresome, and her behavior in that clip just shows it. She's just not likable anymore.

Andy grinning at Kristen and saying, "You don't have the floor!" Moment of the night.

Kristen is so turned up. Snapping at LISA? That is just not done.

I have a headache from laughing so hard at this reunion. What a messy group of people. Kristen's stink face will launch a million GIFs.

Nene is taking her gay audience for granted. Her calling Brandon "queen" and "girlfriend" came off as homophobic.

Kenya, for all of her bravado, isn't great at defending herself, as shown by that scene at the spa. She's good at targeting the weakest people (Porsha, Natalie).

Yeah, that RHONJ preview sounds good. That show needed an overhaul in almost every way. Glad that Dina's back and that Teresa and Melissa have come to a truce.

Is this show worth watching again?

One thing I WILL say is that I don't yet feel the friend chemistry between the three leads. I feel like the group scenes between Patrick, Dom, and Augustin are the weakest/falsest on the series. The scenes of them in their dating/working/outside social lives feel much more authentic.

Jax and Lisa are on WWHL, and Sandoval called in, threatening to spill the tea on Jax. He says knows dirt on Jax that's a thousand times worse than anything that came out this season and started in on why Jax changed his name when he moved from Miami to L.A. Jax was getting uncomfortable and told Andy to get Tom off the phone.

Carlton is like RHOBH's version of Aviva. Doing waaaay too much and snarling for a fight. But agree that Kyle effed up by throwing out the "anti-Semitic" label. She let Carlton bait her. Looks like the Brandi/Lisa war heats up next week.

Well I wasn't expecting that finale. That punch from Sandoval looked fake as f*** in the previews, but man he got Jax good. Loved Sandoval's conversations with Stassi, Lisa, and Jax. If this show is scripted, they did a good job with those scenes.

And Lisa even entertaining the discussion about "Who's shagging who?" and amping up the Stassi/Jax/Kristen drama... I get that she's "Not a real mom, she's a cool mom," and she's plays the role of wise sounding board for this group of horny twits. And at the end of the day, it's all a silly TV show, but it's not a good look. And eventually it will get tiresome. That ship is close to sailing right now.

I just don't see what Alex brings to the table. Simon is a hoot, yes, but she's humorless. She's not fabulous, which is fine, but she's not witty either. And if we're wanting a more grounded contrast to the more larger-than-life personalities (LuAnn, Ramona, Sonja), I think Heather (who I love) more than fills that role. Heather can shut bitches down with one cutting line, including loudmouth Ramoma, and that's without getting nasty and unhinged like Aviva. Alex often struggled to defend herself even when she had the upper hand (the hives when she confronted Jill, the silly "You're a mean girl/I'm in Brooklyn" speech, the insane arguments where even Kelly came across as more lucid).

I do wonder how much more mileage they can get out of Stassi/Jax/Kristen/Tom/Ariana musical beds. Stassi is a great character who is oddly lovable in spite of her narcissism and cruelty, but she could easily become unbearably shrill. And it feels like a reality TV version of Torchwood in that every character does something ridiculous that would have gotten them fired in any other universe, but they stay on for the sake of the TV show. (Well, until everyone got killed off.) It all makes Lisa look silly and unprofessional.

Never understood the love for Alex McCord. She was always annoying and abrasive and only became semi-likable when she hitched her wagon to Bethenny to go up against Jill. Her appearance on Couples Therapy only further proved how obnoxious she was. She can stay gone.

My bet is that Kenya is like Carole from RHONY - slays in her THs but can't think on her feet. But someone needs to set Nene straight, though. Kim probably came closest because she could rattle Nene and make her get physical.

Kenya and Kandi are joint MVPs. And I definitely think Kenya took in the fan feedback from last season and made adjustments. The test will be if she can bring it at the reunion. Phaedra wiped the floor with her last year, and Nene is even more quick-witted and overbearing than Phaedra. Kenya will have to come correct if she's going toe-to-toe with Ms. Leakes. I hope she does.
