Antoyne

Season 8 is what made me absolutely done with Bethenny. She was a monster. And then spent the rest of her time on the show trying to clean up after being so toxic. It’s also when it became Bethenny Frankel’s Real Housewives of New York.

Happy 2001 everybody. Crazy to think how long and how much we’ve discussed these crazy broads 😂 Sonja was clearly on something last night, it couldn’t have just been booze. Ramona calling the staff servants was just disgusting. I loved the spa/Salon day Luann held for those ladies. They truly seemed happy and appreciative.

Kyle is as phony as they f.ucking come. I loved Dorit saying “I care more about Denise than you do.”, when Kyle came in with the phoniness and kept interrupting.

Why isn’t it Sunday already?!?!! I can’t believe we had to wait THREE more months to get to the best RH franchise.

Those were the absolute best moments tonight. I became huge fans of both tonight, I hope it stays that way. Garcelle on WWHL was heavily implying she doesn’t care for Rinna and I’m here for it.

Ugh I’m 20 episodes behind but I’m so so loving the classic episodes so I don’t put them on as background noise because I actually want to pay attention to them.

That was hilarious.

I had never seen Brenda’s Ashley before the classics started airing and I’ve grown a real fondness for her. Eileen is the only Ashley I knew and I’m a fan, but Brenda just has this effortless warmth to her that draws me in. Truthfully if Eileen is unwilling to commit to a contract I actually wouldn’t mind Brenda coming back. She has history with the existing vets already.

How was Terry Lester's chemistry with Brenda Epperson as Ashley, I assume there was a little cross over between them before he left right?

I had never seen Olivia before the classics began airing and after seeing how integral she was for so many years, it makes no sense she hasn’t been on the canvas.

This is her proving Denise forced sex on her? 🙄

That scene at Kyle’s house with Brandi May be the phoniest, most staged, poorly acted scene in Housewife history. Throw most of this cast away immediately.

To echo others, I didn’t grow up on Y&R and only actually got into it in the last 14 years or so I LOVE these classics. I love the acting, the music, the closeups. This is a show I wish I would’ve watched before it became the show that I got into.

F.uck Rinna.

Nooo not ChiChi. I always loved her. I wish she had waited a little longer to do AllStars.

Hartley was so so good as Adam and the character evolved. Of course they undid all of that when they brought in Gossman for some reason.

OMG OMG

I just got to the end of the episode. She totally had me convinced when I posted! She was phenomenal! They really had me hooked. The soaps never do that anymore.

Omg I didn’t realize Victor’s mom was so down and dirty daaaaamn. Fantastic actress.

I’m like 18 episodes behind on the classics but as I’m getting caught up it’s crazy to see how important the Barber/Winters used to be to the show. It’s actually criminal what the writers over the years have done to decimate the family and basically make their role on the canvas null and void. What even happened to the character of Olivia? I wasn’t watching when she was on, but she’s been featured so much in these classics starting from 1990 and is barely mentioned even with her son on canvas.

You nailed it on right on the head as usual.

Thank god the glam squad has disappeared as featured performers this year and I believe last season as well. I really enjoyed Kathryn, no clue why they didn’t keep her or keep both of them.

I honestly can’t tell you a single storyline Erika has had since panty gate. Zero.

That gap is huge, it's similar to MKE and Gina when they came on OC. Someone Vicki's age wouldn't be hanging out with women almost 30 years younger than her. They def need to fill out the cast with some people at least in their 40's.

I definitely wouldn’t mind a mix of old and new next season. I do love that Carole and Dorinda have actually maintained their friendship that started on the show. Same with Carole and Heather.
