Caroline takes little things and tries to annihalate Teresa (or Danielle or whoever her next target will be if she gets Teresa off the show) with it and it all stemmed from Teresa making a few stupid comments in her book that she probably did think was funny. Then Caroline acts like she is Mother Teresa after fanning the flames to kick somebody when they're obviously already down. It's not like I liked Danielle or even book-writing Teresa INITIALLY, it's Caroline's popular girl in high school ---- that makes me turn. Teresa is a stupid -itch as far as I can see on RHONJ, but it's not like any of them are perfect either. Dude, even talking about NJ makes my stomach knot up. I find the show entertaining in a lot of ways but it's really HARD to watch,

I don't love Teresa, but Caroline is the epitome of manipulative viciousness (she makes Kyle Richards look like a fetus in that area) IMO so I want to root for whoever she hates on that fact alone. Just found this article linked on Twitter. Dina and Me are of like-minds on BH versus NJ:

Lisa wanted Camille to confirm that [Camille] told Brandi that Adrienne had already gathered Kyle, etc. for the attempted Lisa lynching at the Reunion. Camille's response IMO really wasn't about looking good in Lisa's eyes. It was about keeping face with Kyle, Adrienne, etc. Pfft to her bringing up the A-word, too. Why you want to be on that side, Camille? Why? Just for storyline? I didn't know whether to laugh or curse when Brandi got Camille alone and Camille pretty much that she was faking amnesia to not be put in an uncomfortable situation. LOL, sigh. Yolanda has my heart for calling Kyle out. Yolanda is too above reality television to do it to the extent it needs to be done but that makes any comment she tosses over there all the more rich. I love the RHOBH so much. It has the perfect blend of fun and drama. **Traveling east** I don't think I can do RHONJ anymore. The show upsets me. My stomach starts hurting when I consider watching it. Theresa's husband. Theresa's reactions to her husband. Then there is the way Caroline gets everybody to gang up against one particular female. I feel uncomfortable watching RHONJ. It brings me back to being a child and seeing or experiencing things I should not have had to. ETA: LOL, that's awesome.

She seems to be going after Kyle at one point too THOUGH Andy's people were probably f-ing with editing hardcore on that initial part of Camille gone wild. But, yeah, I agree - Camille wants her spot back!

Next week looks interesting. There's no mistaking Camille's line to Lisa. Yikes. Wut up Camille?

Whitley mistakes Dwayne's mom for the maid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P7ctRXEUL8

I agree. It really wouldn't be ADW without Whitley.

They should have given it more time to catch on. This is from 2012: Jasmine Guy. I think you can work with that on a spin-off. Professional make-up, etc... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBl5rJuQKRo Dwayne and Whitley circa 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OQSlb5f1Ko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP3msHsBoKM

I was watching Nick at Nite last night and thinking to myself I wish they'd put "A Different World" in the line-up. As a kid, ended up enjoying ADW more than TCS. I guess everybody liked Whitley more.

*Bravo started working for the 11:30 airing.* Kenya. OMG. Why? Not at a charity event. Still on Team Kenya though. ETA: Indeed. I hope it's not a pattern. I wanted somebody to punch him in the balls upon seeing the clip.

You missed her in the scene because they want us to think Brandi will say it to Kyle, but nah. That would be out of the blue. On the other hand, she's been making comments about the way Marissa treats her husband in her interviews. It's messed up but true. She talks about her husband like she resents him right in front of his face. I do think Brandi needs to mind her business on that though. It'll be interesting to see how it actually plays out.

Thank you so much, PC. I'm obviously remembering the wrong Noah/Kendall disagreement episode for the montage. They're trading barbs outside of his mechanic job when the shoot out happens. I always imagine Mona up in heaven trying not to break out into laughter when Erica's bitchin' and moanin' about what a handful her kids are.

Me too. She falls off the wagon hardcore, but when she's good she's pretty good and her AMC has always been the AMC that appeals to me the most. She needs a strong EP over her. She was doing really good work on AMC until some point in 1994, at least IMO. I know it's the opposite of what most would say but when LB is writing I'm completely turned off to the show. I didn't miss AMC while it was gone because of how stupid and dull I found the last 6 months. The first time around, I began losing interest in AMC in mid-1994. It was a combinatio of things... Megan's stories with steam had all ended to some point and her new stories weren't interesting me. I couldn't stand the Santos family but they were rather popular with both her writing and LB's. By 1995, I was well on my way to DAYS. SMC and CM leaving sealed the deal.

I need a video and counter of how many time Erica - and Bianca - have bitch-slapped Kendall. I never liked RM's Janet. Big Kate Collins fans. It typically takes me a long time to adapt to recasts. Two clips I want to see as this person is completing their clips. One is of Noah/Kendall. They're arguing and I believe at one point he throws her in the garbage (I thought SMG's Kendall was rather asexual most of the time but I loved their chemistry). During that episode there's a random (I think it was a random) shoot out so they have the scene in slow-motion. Cue Marvin Gaye "Stop Children What's That Sound." The other one is a montage, too. Del is sick and needs a kidney. Nice Kendall comes out to play during this and takes care of him. At the end of the episode there is a great montage to Tracy Chapman's "Baby Can I Hold You." I was watching E/K's 1995 goodbye the other day. It had less impact 17 years later. I was 14 when those scenes aired. *Goes back to 1995* Dixie & Tad take Kendall in, Tad makes jokes about Kendall stealing from them, Dixie is much nicer and kind of simpatico because of the whole dead father issue. Kendall writes a letter to Erica and Tad is the delivery man. I remember being on the edge of my seat the entire time. Erica rips the letter Tad brings over from Kendall. "Nooooo! Pick it up!! Read it! Why Erica????" Kendall keeps on stalling to leave hoping Erica will come. "She has to come! She has to come!" Erica shows up at Kendall's door. "Yes!!! Aw" I remember wanting Erica so badly to tell her I love you but being satisfied with the hug. After the episode aired I sent a letter to AMC/SMG begging her to come back to the show. I had no idea about taping schedules and all that jazz back then. Her departure was so fast. One week an Emmy, the next week buh-bye.

Final numbers in... I'd officially release Love Spent and end the MDNA era on that note. Love Spent moved up to my favorite song on the album and she'd chart a little better overall with a ballad (chart internationally, at least).

Some things are truly too awful to not block out.

Love Lisa & Brandi's relationship. Lisa defending Brandi from the vultures in a blog from Monday... http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills/season-3/blogs/lisa-vanderpump/lisa-defines-character-assassina?page=0,0&Matchmaker%2FKathyTakeover=1 I thought Yolanda's comment was concerning Mauricio more so than Ken. Lisa felt it was an attack on Ken, at least partially.

Thanks for the update, Eric. I was thinking if Cynthia could get over it, maybe Kenya is not all that evul BECAUSE I was on Cynthia's side during that whole thing. I've always felt that in general that most people who watch like Brandi - the WWHL polls (Ken won tonight 3 to 1 for defending Brandi), internet polls. I know most SON'ers in this thread like her too. I just re-watched the first ten minutes because I kept on getting bothered by real life during the original airing. The vultures talking about Brandi "having a sweet side but then this really vicious side." Hello, full-time vultures! Pot, kettle. You got to take the claws occasionally to hang with the pack. Mauricio? Just continue to look pretty and mind your business. Loved Taylor being called out on the "me, me, me."

I have Time Warner Cable here in Queens, and I consider myself lucky to ever see more than black screen on CBS and Bravo BUT I finally got BRAVO back. Yay. RHOA When did Kenya and Cynthia make up? I was on Kenya's side with the exercise video. Phaedra ultimately got the better distributor, but it was weak of Phaedra to try to ride Kenya like that with no intention to really give her any cut. The exercise video arena is big and there's room for everybody. I also agree with Nene, most girls are not aiming for a donkey butt... I didn't want to like her, but dang it ... I do like that crazy Kenya. It's that whole underdog syndrome. Indeed. RHOBH Ken standing up for his "mistress"? sweet. Ken and Lisa still rock my socks. Brandi, too... She's right about that new HW being mean to her husband but it ain't really her business, so.... She's obviously telling that HW the preview line: "your husband is obviously more in love with you than you are with him." They made it look like she told Kyle that. She needs to learn to censor herself just a little bit. New HW didn't have it out for her or anything and I'm sure she's not telling her that to start something (it's more of an honest observation) but still...

Before the tour started, I was preparing to be disappointed because YouTube wise nothing could top the Blonde Ambition Tour and the Confessions Tour for me - but this is up there. Going from that first dark, dark section to the Masculine/Feminine section to the final Section with Like a Prayer and Celebration? Perfect. Love when she gets the "Holy Spirit" during LAP. It's INSANE in the best way possible. It's OMG INSANE at a stadium. When she tours again, I'm probably going to do all the NY shows. There's so much going on that you're really not seeing and experiencing it all in even 1-2 showings. Me too. Even if you hate her or her latest album AND even with the fact she doesn't start her concerts until 10:45 PM no matter what day of the week. Woman can ENTERTAIN like few others.

Actually being able to see the big screens? Awesome. AND in an arena they do seem as big as they are. Felt like Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj were there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLH-SJa6YRU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXpYI_KuTrw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqKpIV1FHg4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k96ACSLKZGY

Went to the 9/8 Yankee Stadium date. My first concert ever - Madonna + Yankee Stadium = Amazing. (I don't really count the concert I saw at Flushing Meadow Park in Queens when I was 10). It was the day a tornado hit down in some areas of New York. I partially decided to go because of the weather. Madonna put Holiday into the set list that night. Like a Prayer is sooooo unbelievable in a stadium. Had to put the phone down and join in the sing and dance along. Holiday (along with Open Your Heart, Masterpiece)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Du3V5GU8iU Like a Prayer snippet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25e_C3TnAKs I went to MSG on 11/12, too. LAP was the highlight of Yankee Stadium for me. It was Like a Virgin and Love Spent for me at MSG. Love Spent is so emotional. Outside of that part, the toy soldiers in the air look so much more wild in an arena. They looked like toothpicks in a stadium. I bought a VIP package for MSG but they put me in an awful seat so they apologized and sent me down to the 100 level from the 200 level. Yay. For some reason, I got over 30,000 views on Madonna stripping for Sandy Relief. Better numbers then some great close up videos from 11/13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qpDNe7LoLc Like a Prayer at MSG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcgooxCOTwI Will post a couple more video from MSG in a posting to follow. Got the first 30 minutes of the Tour in those videos.

Kenya...uhm...wow!

Teresa's complete and utter patheticness when it comes to Joe is hard to watch. I'm at the point where I don't feel sorry for her. She's asking for the misery that being with Joe is causing her. IMO, despite Caroline being a meddling troublemaker who holds a lethal grudge once you cross her, I do feel it's her issues (denial, etc) with Joe that have led to so many of her problems in her other relationships.
