Antoyne

I haven’t rewatched season 5 in a long time but saw a season 6 marathon one day and honestly as awful as Avila was, she was a perfect villain during that period the show. I absolutely loved Heather and Carole, and didn’t mind Kristin. It definitely was a much less toxic time on the show compared to season 8.

One thing the classics have really made me appreciate is just how normal and warm Sharon was before the 2000's completely destroyed her as a character. She was such a perfect heroine before all those writers just took a sledgehammer to her. And I stand by Josh Morrow still having his best chemistry with Sharon Case. I hate how much they've damaged Nick/Sharon as a couple through the years and this insistence now that Phyllis is just such a better fit for him than Sharon. Also I can't believe Lauren has been shackled to the Baldwin/Fishers for 15 years now...Geez.

What a reach. She didn't say anything wrong.

Her old jaw is always jarring to see after getting used to her new face.

It's so weird to see how minimized Jill became. A. She should still be working at Jabot honestly. In basically every classic, Jabot is such a huge part of her life.

The classics have really given me such a newfound appreciate of Victoria Rowell. It's such a shame the show let such a strong force and amazing character go. And to see the Winters family these days compared to the old days is like night and day.

Gizelle’s home matches her...Tacky.

You find out the Charisse tea in episode 2

Second episode was just good as the first. Candiace and Monique as friends again is quite short lived. I like how Potomac has brought back two of the original cast members in the last two years to sort of help enhance the drama. I still say justice for Katie.

Oh nooo, I'm 24 episodes behind on the classics so I'll still have them for a bit longer but damn I have not actually missed the regular show.

If you have Xfinity, Potomac Episode 2 is already up On Demand. I plan to watch it in a little bit.

Especially with a new housewife popping up.

That was a perfect premiere episode. Very well done.

My friend sent me that earlier. He actually sent it to the person who posted that who is also my friend 😂😂

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? 🙄
