    RHOBH:

    The reunion was OK. 

    Kyle's obsession with LVP is weird. She brings that poor lady up at the most awkward times. Kyle, she is gone. She's been gone since season 9. This is season 13. Move on. 

    While on Kyle, I knew her and Dorit would fall out. They only bonded b/c they were upset that LVP was the star and they were reduced to being her flunkies at best. Kyle trying to manipulate and make up with Dorit before the reunion was some Bobby Fischer type stuff (OG BH fans know that reference). This is why I am loving that LVP or Rinna aren't on the show at the moment. Now the fans that have been "snowed" are starting to see who the true manipulator is... Kyle! If Kyle returns, I see next season being Dorit v. Kyle. And while Kyle thinks she's can trample over Dorit, I see Dorit decimating Kyle in the end. I think Dorit knows where all the bodies lie. 

    Annemarie aka 8.5--get rid of her. I don't like this woman at all. As Crystal stated, she is a proven liar. The only reason when wrapped up fighting with Sutton is because the medical field came down on her azz and told her she was wrong. There isn't any politics in the matter. You lied about your role, you claimed Sutton had an eating disorder and tried to peg it on Crystal, and you gave a misdiagnosis when it came to Sutton's situation. I also didn't appreciate her trying to come to Dorit's defense and scold Garcelle. Like Garcelle said, you are grown woman, defend yourself (against Sutton). Dorit has a history of being micro and macro-aggressive. 

    Dorit... it is painfully obvious that she is willfully ignorant as HELL. Last night displayed that when she tried to double down on the nasty "child bride" comment. Garcelle was vindicated and Crystal rightfully nailed Dorit to the cross. 

    Crystal was the star of the reunion last night. She slayed Dorit and Annemarie with ease. She earned her role on future seasons. 

    The only person that needs to go on this cast is Annemarie. I know Andy is eager to keep her, but she needs to go. Now is the time for BH to woo LVP back. Especially, when we have Dorit v. Kyle bubbling to the surface. Nothing would make me, @Cat, and @DaytimeFan happy than to see LVP smirking in the background while the two tear each other apart while Erika scrambles to pick a side.  

    Part 1 of RHOBH's reunion was pretty fast-paced considering how lowkey the season was overall!

    I read Kyle's text to Dorit. It is very manipulative and plays on her emotions -- fear of losing her friendship with Kyle, the Kemsleys' marriage woes, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that Kyle worked every angle of that message in advance, ready to send on exactly the day before Reunion. It also confirms what I've long suspected -- that Kyle slots her BFFs in and out of her life, leveraging her friendship in return for something, and playing on their sympathy when she's down and 'needs them.' "She preys on the weak" -- remember that line, @NothinButAttitude

    Yet another LVP reference from Kyle! She is obsessed.

    Crystal was phenomenal (not a phrase I write very often on here), decimating Dorit and Annemarie with ease. Dorit tried it with a lot of the women this season. She's played the microaggression card for years but, next to Rinna, Kyle, Erika, it would pass under the radar. This season, it is now under the spotlight.

    As for Flopmarie, Andy seems inexplicably charmed by this obnoxious professional gaslighter. The rehearsed "I. Won't. Be. Part. Of you. Sys. Tem. Of Lies" line made me cringe. What on earth does that mean? 'System of lies' like Sutton's supposed anorexia? If her performance yesterday was any indication of her bedside manner, I worry for the patients who must have their concerns routinely brushed aside by Big Mouth.

    Dorit vs Kyle needs an LVP check-mate, even if she's just a FOH. But I fear we will see Rinna back before Pinky.

    They're moving Miami over to Thursday night after Summer House (which does decently well for a Thursday).  They're doing this because they're airing Erika's Bet It All on Blonde special after the BH reunion on the same night.  They want to the fans to continue watching Erika after the reunion so the ratings are good.  Otherwise my guess is that Miami would have stayed on Wed, although watching two housewives reunion episodes in the same night can be a lot for some.  I don't mind having a night apart, something to look forward to.

    Speaking of - we're about to go into a quiet housewives era.  When BH and Miami finish their reunions, the Potomac reunion will be airing.  Married to Medicine's reunion starts next week.  New Jersey is the only one close to having a new season start, although without a trailer, it won't be coming before April at earliest.  What does that leave?  OC is only 6 weeks into filming.  SLC just started filming.  Atlanta hasn't started.  BH, Miami and Potomac won't be on for another 9-10 months if they even start filming immediately, which I don't think will happen for BH or Pomotac - they need a cast shuffle which takes time.  Am I missing a city?  Dubai - I feel like we haven't heard anything about that show and it's been almost 2 years since Season 1 wrapped.  We're going to be housewives-less for a long time it seems :( They didn't time this last round correctly having 4 air at the same time and the others on hiatus with casting.

    I have no idea which RH shows are going to bridge the gap over spring into summertime, but I have to imagine Dubai will be one of them, given that it has been sitting in the can for months.

    But Dubai cannot carry the RH franchise alone, and I have no clue which other city will be joining it. New Jersey? NuRHONY?

    Ever since last fall, when we realised we were entering a Q1 with RHOBH, Miami, Potomac, M2M and a new UGT (not to mention The Traitors US and VPR) all airing, I thought it was ridiculous for Bravo to be blowing its wad in the first 3 months of this year.

    RHOM

     

    As much as I will take RHOM where I can get it...they are dropping Reunion Part 1 on their usual night and Part 2 the following night and NOT ADVERTISING IT???

     

    The disrespect!!!

    This is heart-breaking. Live ratings have been doing Dallas-level numbers, so I'm hoping that most Miami viewers are streaming on Peacock and Bravo is counting those +5 day numbers. But shuffling Part 2 of the reunion to the next night (which, correct me if I'm wrong, is a Friday??) says to me that Bravo wants to burn these episodes off fast. 😪 And I hate that for my girls and what has become my favorite franchise. As you know, I am a viewer since S1, and I hoped that their S4 renaissance would lay the foundation for many future seasons. I'm still hoping it will -- if they move it back to Peacock and actually promote it.

    Otherwise, it is done on Bravo, and it really does not deserve that at all. I mean, who didn't shed a tear when Russell shaved Guerdy's head in preparation for chemo? Who didn't burn with anger at Larsa for being such a mean gaslighting b!tch to Guerdy? Who didn't love everybody dancing awkwardly to Adriana's latest dance sensation? LOL.

    Yeah she definitely back bc she needs the money. Im sure this wont be the only thing she'll be sued over. Meanwhile Andy Cohen is like

    LOL...What a fall from grace. She'd have been better off had he just cheated on her and called it a day.

    An incredibly rapid fall from grace. Almost as rapid as their engagement/divorce from Falyn timeline.

    I honestly don't see how the RHOA will be able to hold their tongue or not ask Porsha questions about this. This ain't RHOBH.

    I feel like Kyle's feet should be held to fire like Robyn's was when she hid stuff consisting of Juan; however, she slid out of that real quick by blaming Mauricio. 

    I do love that Dorit tossed her under the bus by revealing her text on the sneak peek for the reunion. 

    I wonder how Bravo feels about Netflix's Buying Beverly Hills trailers featuring the Umansky breakup and their entire family (see DRW's post just above yours)? I mean, RHOBH would have loved to have had that inner-family-circle content this season.

    As much as I want her to, I really don't want another round of Kenya v Porsha. I rather have them as friends because they really are a good combo.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't want another round either. I'm honestly tired of the toxicity and would love for once to see Kenya develop a friendship.

    I also feel that Carlos King should produce RHOA. He loved the city and the show. He knows all these women inside and out. The current production team is creatively bankrupt.

    Seems like the latest rumor for cast is...

     

    KENYA

    PORSHA

    DREW

    SHAMEA

    MING LI

    AKALIA

    ONE OTHER NEW GIRL

     

    Sheree as a FOH.

     

    But yeah I can see Kenya being there for Porsha and thus getting their friendship 'power duo' status back. And I could see Sheree being the mess.

     

    Speaking of mess...from Apollo's wife who is friends with her...

     

    Falyn is all over my socials these days. I wonder if that means she wants to join RHOA.

    I really, really loved their theme. And I felt they did a great job with it. I might not like them all but I like they seem cohesive. 

     

    That said...I know everyone else online since to hate it, but I love Toya's look. Shady Phae Phae (and the drama it led to online with Ayan from DUBAI) is good. And don't hate me...but Simone. And from the trailer, Phae and Alicia's have trains to die for.

     

    Speaking of...REUNION TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

     

    OMG! Get away from me with this, Apollo! He's still hot.

    BWAH! at your gif. Obviously not about the divorce itself which is obvi v sad. But my goodness, can you imagine how much the production team is quaking right now? They threw Kandi's entire paycheck at Porsha in order to get MoneyWealthGlamourLuxury. And now she's divorcing Mr. Moneybags.

    Completely agree about Beverly Hills' finale. There really wasn't much to it and I'm left wondering where do they go from here? Flopmarie should be fired, unless Dorit comes up with a hail Mary at the reunion she should be fired, that leaves two openings that desperately need filling with dynamic, positive, personalities. They need to go younger like Crystal's age bracket. 

    LVP lives rent free in Kyle's head. That was odd. Kyle is just fixated on her. I wonder if they could ever convince LVP to film a sit down lunch with Kyle...the problem is Kyle is a perpetual victim and martyr and just wants to bask in her victimhood. Sigh. It seems that Mauricio cheated one too many times and she finally had her fill. 

    As Danny Pellegrino put it: they took their cast picture and they all looked miserable. 

    Yeah...Morocco UGT ain't seeing the light of day. I can't help but feel a little sorry for Brandi - reality TV has truly used up her dignity and Bravo did nothing to protect her with the recent spat of lawsuits that have been going on. The two lawyers she's working with are very high profile, so there seems to be something they think they can work with.

     

    Oh, Flopmarie should definitely be let go, but IMO I'd keep Dorit over Crystal. I like Rob and what she brings culturally, but her personality is not made for reality TV. She pulled her punches with some of the women, even Flopmarie, when she was on the right side of the argument IMO.

    Dorit OTOH was a little spicier, more ready to speak her mind in the VTs at least, showing the good, bad and the ugly of her personality. The dissolution of her friendship with Kyle makes her viable for next season IMO. The fact that Kyle is trying to pretend they were never close ("We only went on vacation together once!") and the fact that Dorit disparaged Morgan ("She stuck out like a sore thumb')... well, Territorial Teddi must be absolutely thrilled she doesn't have to share her BFF with Dorit anymore! Judging by the reunion trailer, Dorit is trying to earn her spot. I doubt Bravo will do a hard reboot of the cast unless Kyle were to leave.

    You are so right. It is TIME for an LVP-Kyle sit-down at a Beverly Hills Italian restaurant, and they need to talk about ~everything~ honestly, and it needs to take up at least 30 minutes of screen time, and Kathy and Kris Jenner need to be there as enforcers to make sure nobody leaves or wriggles out of any hard questions. 

    I feel pity for Bramdi even though she brings it on herself a lot of the time. Recently I rewatched S10 BH, and it was very interesting seeing the baby shower where Brandi passed around her texts from Denise. Dorit literally dangles at one point the possibility of "Maybe you can come back into the group" -- depending on what info Brandi ponies up. Bravo dangled the promise of the show to her again and again and made her jump through hoops, but then reneged. It's been a constant jumping through hoops ever since because she is addicted to Bravo and the reality TV game. And dependent upon it.

  8. RHOBH

    I struggled to know what to talk about with this finale episode. The title cards involving Erika's 'residency' in Vegas, or Crystal's brother... we barely saw any of that, it felt like. And no-one really cares. Flopmarie remains a flop.

    Kyle's White Party didn't have the panache of her other White Parties. It felt like a lot of money thrown at the camera for the sake of needing a big event to end the show on. And LVP continues to live rent free in Kyle's head. From Kevin the party planner to Kyle doing 2 impressions of LVP, it just underscored how much the old BH is currently missing.

    I felt bad for the daughters during the climactic sir-down. They weren't acting. Alexia's face looked genuinely devastated, and Portia's tears weren't fake. Meanwhile, satellites can still pick up Mauricio's gigantic chompers from space.

    Kyle basically exiling Dorit from her life is a ruthless move. She senses Dorit might be a weak link. I don't even like Dorit like that, but I felt sorry for her. At the White Party she cut a lonely and islanded figure.

    I....actually liked it. And I haven't tapped in for the season at all outside of clips. So I have knowledge of what's going on. I felt it touched on all the things that would be an issue at the reunion from said clips. :) 

    Honestly, I felt like it was a good reunion trailer with Kyle getting called out.

    Reunion looks!

     

     

    Kathy looks the best and she aint even a friend! As for the housewives, I rank them Kyle, Erika and Garcelle

    A lot of these outfits I feel like I've seen before.

    I liked Dorit's outfit the best, until I realised that Melissa Gorga wore a similar look in blue at the last NJ reunion.

    I'm not sure why Kathy showed up when she wasn't in this current season at all (rumors say she came to excoriate Sutton on Kyle's behalf, which makes zero sense to me??), but yay I guess. She'll be entertaining.

    Garcelle is channeling LVP's Tom Ford liquid-rosé-gold look at the S8 reunion.

    We already know about Flopmarie channelling Charrisse.

    Crystal's dress is very Italian Designer and very her -- underrated and understated. Maybe too daywear for BH? Overall I think she looks the best here -- hair lustrous, skin glowy.

    I'm sure I've seen Sutton's halter-top dress on some reunion somewhere. The blue velvet is nice.

    Erika's look has been in her closet a long time and is a repeat. Same, I feel, with this green outfit on Kyle.

    RHOBH: I agree with everyone about Kyle's "moments" versus storyline. That said, I've enjoyed RHOBH overall this season and I'm glad they could prove the show could go on just fine without Rinna skulking around like a preying cockatoo.

    And the thing is, if I had to keep a third woman, it would be Gizelle because she is mildly entertaining when she's being friendly with Karen. And at least she gave us footage of herself standing next to Pastor Holy Whore, looking like a total hypocrite. 

    The problem with Potomac is it's clear these women have no connection to each other. They show up for filming and then they never speak to each other again. They're onscreen to monetize their products, brands, and podcasts and nothing more. It's probably the franchise with the least amount of organic connections and because they've filmed together for so long, and most dislike each other, that it rings so fake and hollow. 

    That production has let Robyn get away with having no storyline, and burying her personal life, is insane to me. After she sold it for her podcast? They should have come hard for her and Juan. The way she handed out rooms was so manufactured - you could see her running through the script she'd discussed with production. That crap needs to stop across every franchise. 

    Thank you for verbalizing the major problem I have with this season. Not just the disconnect between women who once seemed to have organic chemistry with each other. But the complete unwillingness of production to confront Robyn about her personal life and the Patreon scam. They are overtly protecting her because she is Production's puppet.

    "Young Scammer" LOL

    Falyn is on Couple's Therapy this season with her current beau, apparently. 

    Welp... i can't say this is surprising, because its not. When someone keeps their job description vague, you know something is going on. What I don't understand is why be on a show when you have stuff to hide?

    I think Porsha will try and get out of next season.

    Part of the problem on all these shows are the forced group gatherings.  No need for Vegas or California mini trips..imho.

    Instead they could have shown more scenes of Kyle with Morgan & Mo, more scenes of Flopmarie with her family/job, Crystal with her life, etc.

    The stories that were brewing (Kyle's marriage, Garcelle and her sons, Sutton moving on from her marriage at last, Flormarie's introduction, and Dorit's odd marriage dynamics) could have been shown with more scenes.

    They could have shown Kyle with her new BFF Morgan and the implications for her friendship with Dorit, which seems to be a little on the outs right now. Then we have Erika who, without Rinna, has allied herself closer to Kyle recently (despite her not being a big fan of Kathy's). It also raises a wider question of why does Kyle cycle through a squad of BFFs, and why are these BFFs rarely friends with each other? 

    However, the show has tiptoed away from all that, saving it as an underlying current on the After Show or an impromptu Kyle interview on a red carpet somewhere.

    The mini cast trips are usually scheduled in episode 2 or 3 of the season, in the hopes that they lay down the foundations for a season's dramas or petty rivalries. Sometimes they can generate more drama than the cast trip itself, but I agree that in this case Vegas did little but establish Sutton as a somewhat disingenuous prude.

    Kyle's "story" hasn't even been a story. There have been intriguing moments where she appears to get vulnerable about the distance between her and Mo, but that basically amounted to, what, 4 tense conversations? Nothing was spoken aloud, nothing was concrete, and they never went any deeper than the surface as far as showing something there. I thought there was going to be WAY more Morgan content, too. It amounted to Kyle giggling with her about 3 times all season long and hinting at one lunch with the ladies that she could maybe kinda be bi-curious?

    There have been two moments (once when we met Morgan Wade for the first time, another was the tense-off between Mo & Kyle's in the car) where I felt the chemistry, or lack thereof, was real. I went into this season thinking this was a fake SL for the purposes of the show. But I've been second-guessing myself since that first (contrived) scene between Mo's blinding, egregious chompers and his Lovebean.

    Part of it may be that Kyle seems so turned off by Mauricio, and I'm not sure i blame her because he is giving me the ick big-time. But a lot of it is the 'mystery' of piecing together the few nuggets being dropped here and there. What is behind this rift? Did Mo cheat? Did Kyle? Was it Lorene's passing which drove a wedge?  Is it Mo's incessant partying and possible drug use (the latter is my theory) ?

    But as you say, nothing is concretely expressed, everything is implied, including Kyle making heart-eyes at Morgan as she sings...Some of this smacks of legal ass-covering, in case Kyle is put on the spot and says "Well, I never said Morgan and I are anything more than friends!"

    I've been watching the infamous S10 of RHOBH, and it is a study in contrasts, not least how far The Coven went out of their way to build a picture of hearsay/'evidence' against Denise in order to take her down (Rinna's transition from friend to ghoul who sold her soul to the show is especially chilling). This season is so different because there is simply no gossip or anecdotal evidence to grasp onto.

    A thought crossed my mind: suppose the much-trailed scene of Kyle & Mo talking to their kids... ends up being the two of them reaffirming their love and commitment to one another? And in the WWHL show which follows (featuring Kyle and Kiki Barth FYI), Kyle and Andy are all "Surprise, b!tches! We're back together." I think there would be an outcry from the audience that we had been duped.

    Amen. People here have this strange opinion that this season has been amazing... while you can clearly see the consensus online is that this season has been a Snooze-fest. There was even a reddit post that had hundreds of likes and comments that was stating just that - HOW BORING THIS SEASON IS.

    Someone said they liked how light and how friendly everyone seemed this season... BUT no... I really don't need to see empty episodes of people giggling together or telling each other how great the food is. I don't find this interesting or amusing. I don't watch Housewives to watch FRIENDSHIPS... because these are not real friendships. I come for DRAMA and for interesting dialogue and confrontations. This season lacked ALL of that. I don't know how Andy allowed this to continue... this BORING narrative. Kyle tried to create fake drama and it's the suspense that something may happen like a break-up with her and Mauricio... that keeps people watching.

    They will probably drag this suspense into next season and as soon as the show starts having a proper storyline, Kyle and Mauricio will REUNITE. Fake crying... all the way. 

    Full disclosure: the person who said that was probably me. I've been relieved to watch this season free of Rinna. The last few seasons have become so toxic and hateful because of her, I felt she hit a new low with the attacks on Garcelle that she appeared to orchestrate.... I was glad that she finally left.

    With the way this season went, I wondered if we were building towards something (BH can be a slow burn)... and then we had a lacklustre trip to Catalonia...and now it's the finale and I'm thinking "That's it? Oh, OK." 

    I liked the lightness and friendliness, it was a blessing in disguise for Erika, that's for sure. I don't want Rinna back. Nevertheless, it's time to rethink some casting choices next season -- not a big reboot, but let's get the mix right. The last few newbies or FOHs (Diana, Annemarie) have been flops. Also BH is full of unfinished drama -- LVP, Brandi, Kathy, Kim, Rinna (gulp) could all come back. As could my lovely Eileen Davidson, lol. Kyle, unfortunately for some of us, remains the centre of this spider's web holding it together. That hurt to write, but we can't ignore that the show is intrinsically tied to her in almost every way.

    I wouldnt say so as the esophagus plot only lasted like 3-4 episodes. It really blew up into something off the show but its not something that they dragged throughout the entire season. If anything this season is more defined by the breakdown of Kyle's marriage. Its been a throughline since the first episode

    Yes, Kyle's marriage has been the A plotline this season, even if the story itself hasn't moved much beyond the first episode of the season (although next week's finale might change all that). Against my will, I've found it the most watchable thread of the season, maybe because weve been watching Kyle so long and rwmember all the times she vaunted her perfect marriage. Even though I dislike her and think she's narcissistic, it's been interesting to watch her try and express wanting change in her life.

    I called it the Esophagus season because I was trying to be snarky, lol.

    Nope. 
    Ideologically, I realize he felt compelled to return to Russia, after his miraculous recovery from having been poisoned, but his return really did seal his fate. He was arrested upon arrival, so I am not really sure whether or not he couldn’t have achieved his goals from exile in Germany-it certainly would have given him more time.

    His argument was that he couldn't ask Russians at home to risk their lives and protest while he lived in safety abroad. But yes, returning to Russia made his fate almost inevitable, although I always hoped that he would make it through his prison sentence and return to his family. A dark day for democracy -- I had a lot of respect for this brave individual who seemed to know it might end this way but carried on, hopeful, that he might precipitate change against the odds.

  17. RHOBH

    Second-to-last episode, and that was a trudge to get through. It's hard to pin down what characterised this season. We've had the Russell season, the Brandi turned on LVP season, the Bring Down Denise season. This.... has been the Esophagus season?

    The last few seasons have followed a similar pattern, with the women sometimes reserving their bitchiness and venom for the After Show. That's not good. If there's a beef or resentment, it should be on the show itself.

    Sutton dating -- don't care. I found it way more interesting her talking about her husband, who is now worldwide head of one of the world's biggest asset managers (PIMCO) and moving to London. Would like to see Christian on the show one time but LOL that would never happen. 

    It's so weird to me that Sutton seems to care for Kyle, and Kyle somewhat for Sutton, but on the After Show and elsewhere, Kyle is being so mean and bitchy about her. What happened? 

    Erika nurses grudges and remembers every conversation from years ago right down to the correct turn of phrase. Tom taught her well. Erika is keeping a lot in the vault which she may one day use against some of these women. I'm not sure what apology she's looking for. Your husband embezzled funds for your music career, Erika. That's still a fact.

    Annemarie made sure to strap on her scrubs, stethoscope and hairnet for a Facetime with the husband so that we know she's a medical practitioner. 

    In the preview for next week, did anyone notice Kyle motioning at Mo to wipe something from his nose...?

    But who would fit that bill? Sheree, Sanya and Marlo all need to go. Drew is the only other cast member from last season i think could be kept. Kandi is already gone. I we dig deeper in the Vault

    Nene - never gonna happen

    Phaedra - phones it in on M2M and without Kandi, she's not worth seeing

    Kim Z - I dont need her circus on my screen and. fee she'd be just as divisive and performative as Marlo.

    Kim Fields, Deshawn - Snoozefests

    Lisa  - i liked her but she's too represntative of the old ATL and they need to go younger

    Claudia -  I also like her but she doesnt live in ATL. I think it feels inauthentic when you have reality stars commute for a few days out of the week just to film. Plus where she is at with her career, i dont think it would be a good look to go backwards for this

    The only two I could see working with Porsha and Kenya are Shamari and Eva. Shamari should have gotten a second season for sure. Eca would definitely fit but she wasnt giving when she had the chance plus i want impressed by her on RHUGT

    I agree that Sheree, Sanya and Marlo all needed to go, although I think Sheree will be back in some form S16. I also don't need to see Kim Z make a one-scene-a-season return with her red solo cup. Production team used to produce Don't Be Tardy and that's why she gets asked back when she needs some cash.

    Drew removed RHOA from her social media handle, leading some to believe that she has moved on from RHOA.

    I would love to see Claudia back, but only if she was living in ATL. The fact that she wasn't really living there the season she was on was apparent. The sad thing is she maintained friendships with some members of the cast, making her a natural fit.

    Shamari didn't make so much of an impression on me her season. Eva more so but I found her an annoying presence her last season. Last year, though, I would have loved for her to return given the state of the show, but fellow posters here said she was n acting jobs and loving it, and that suited her better than reality TV.

    The jury is still out on Phaedra. She won't be missed from M2M, that's for sure, but she did have to put in some work on The Traitors and I imagine that would be what Bravo is looking for if she were to come back to RHOA: Devious Phaedra. Sharp Phaedra.

    Nene -- a girl can dream. 😪

    Casting will have to work really hard to find newbies that fit with the group, have meaningful ties, and didn't just appear out of nowhere from under a rock.

    Im actually fine with no more former housewives back as full housewives. The show needs a reboot and i feel that if too may return, it would be easy for everyone to jsut fall into old patterns. I like the idea of Porsha and Kenya headlining the new era and surrounding them with 4 new women would force them to change things up bc the dynamic would have to be different. The only exception which I dont see is Shamea finally being one but thats a technicality as she never got a peach. She has a story worth telling with her family but the holdout was her husband in the past

    I'd be in favor of a former HW,or two joining Porsha and Kenya. I'm not sure Porsha can carry RHOA on her own, and Kenya's been phoning it in the last few seasons. And this production team's track record with new hires is very poor. As @Taoboi said, production is a big part of the problem.  Nothing funny, nothing organic, a lot of scripted contrivances (Drew and Ralph) and a lot of thirsty or flop hires. Remember Yovanna? Falyn chasing LaToya around her house? Surely Atlanta has more interesting potential HWs than them? But lazy production has largely gone with low-hanging fruit.

    Its confirmed that Porsha Williams will NOT be rejoining RHOA

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Porsha Goubadia however will 😅. I have to admit, this was actually cute

     

    Alright, RHOA! Now we're talking!

    Thank God. It's funny how long it took me to warm up to this woman (not until Season 10), but boy is she missed!

    Okay Bravo, now do Nene. Although word on the street says they're also trying to bring Phaedra back...? Or is that just Phaedra being Phaedra?  She's "not even married to medicine, my love," so they can write her right off M2M, which would do just fine without her. 

    You read my mind. I need the meme machine that is Nene back -- but in a less grumpy mood. And yes, I personally believe that given the success of The Traitors, Phadrea will return to RHOA. And M2M won't even miss her. In fact, Quad may return to that franchise (although a part of me wanted to see Quad on RHOA, don't yell at me, lol).
