I agree with you -- this cast will be back. Including Tamra who, for a hot second, I thought was going to get Andy to fire her in the middle of reunion. This cast has gelled for the first time in years. The show is finally got back on track, and viewers were even siding with Gina by the end of reunion, which is a minor miracle in of itself. Shannon's got herself into a real-life pickle which the cameras will want to focus on next season. Having said that, I thought Part 2 of the reunion exposed a lot of the issues which plagued OC prior to Tamra and Vicki's firings. A lot of manufactured alliances/fighting/Tamra-Terry reconciliation.

🤞 🙏 I was worried that some 'associates' of The Brownstone had destroyed the footage!

Well, damn. They are never releasing that Morocco RHUGT with Alex McCord, and Brandi kissing Caroline Manzo, are they?

Welp... you certainly buck the trend on nuRHONY opinions! Re: the grilling. OK, I can accept that Sai's husband, David, might have been loud rather than grilling, and that came off stronger than he meant to. It was a weird social engagement (the men obviously don't know each other that well and were laughing a little too loudly and awkwardly -- not to mention the Sai-Jessel stuff) and everybody had had drinks. To me, Pavit seemed like he was minding his own business and being cautious with the group. Who can blame him? They were ready to nitpick him to death. 'Abe-the-babe' as someone deluded referred to him on TwitterX seems dead-eyed to me. Like Erin, he thinks he's doing great on-screen with the sex talk, and doesn't realise how flat it's falling. If I'd met him IRL I would be somewhat uncomfortable.

Sai screeching "I don't currrrr" while running to Parvit to question him on his air miles, then running back to Jessel to scream "I don't give a sh!t" was clown behavior. Watching Sai and Erin think they are flexing big-time is wild. They are literally drunk on their own amazingness, and the cluelessness is real. In 'exposing' Jessel to the audience, these two fools have only exposed their own a$$es. As for their husbands -- what prizes they are. Sai's other half grilling Ubah on why she hasn't got a man yet was especially cringe.

We have about 8 RH franchises hitting us in November, it seems like, but regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing S2 RHODubai one of these days.

I can see that. I'm no fan of Sai or Erin, but I'm hoping that the other women have finally woken up to their shenanigans (certainly Jessel and Ubah have). That will hopefully make for an interesting reunion. I didn't care for Brynn until the antique books segment but, hey, I could change my mind again.

Same here. I am loving the nuRHONY, and I didn't expect to. I of course miss my RHONY originals and can't wait to see them soon (though I feel like im over Dorinda), but sonething about this new show's lightness appeals to me at this moment in time. The women have revealed their flaws, and that's what makes them interesting to me. I love Ubah and against my will am warming to Brynn, of all people. Like Miami, I sort of wish I could jump on the next episode immediately after watching a current one.

I don't think Phaedra should be shoehorned onto a show called Married to Medicine unless she is indeed Married to Medicine MY LOVE! (c) Mariah Huq. At least Anila was married to a doctor! The person in the coffin, I'm guessing, is Quad, not Mariah. She is pals with Phaedra. The tea is that Quad refused to film while Dr. G and his new paramour were on the show. So they filmed for a month or two, got married, and then faded out. And Quad came back to stir things up. Like @NothinButAttitude I was disappointed by this trailer. There was nothing substantial to grab me. The only part that got my attention was Toya and Eugene having issues in their marriage. But M2M is a nice, slow burn so i will of course watch.

@Taoboi @Chris B @Antoyne @Cheap21 @NothinButAttitude @DaytimeFan @Faulkner am I missing anyone?? M2M trailer!

Good point. Potomac is playing in the big leagues with BH and Miami, and its trailer was lacking next to their cinematic and cohesive ones.

I need LVP to speak out. I would once everything aired. Ain't no way she'd get away with leading the charge against me when it all panned out to be true. I am all about this Miami return! Different from the BH trailer which, as @Gray Bunny pointed out, is saved time and again by its real-life scandals. BH is practically a true-crime show at this point (Anatomy of a Crumbled Marriage). Miami hits different: part slice-of-life reality show, part telenovela, part stunning travelogue. I was worried about this being moved from Peacock, but I see the production standards and distinctive feel remain intact. And every time I saw Guerdy in that trailer, my heart got the feels big-time. I'm so glad the ~entire~ cast is back, BTW. As for LVP, Lord knows what she'd say. So much water under that bridge. She'd get attacked whatever she responds -- if she says "Toldja, b!tches", she'll be castigated as bitter. If she reserves the right to not comment, she's a manipulative chess-player. As ungracious as the Umanskys have been about LVP (Mo was really rude; Kyle, weirdly, has mostly held back), I think it would behoove LVP to be circumspect. She knew, Camille knew, Alison the Psychic knew. Kim knew, Brandi knew, everybody knew about Mo's proclivities. But LVP living well, and VPR having a second wind, is her best revenge.

It's an astute move. Get ahead of the narrative, air your dirty laundry yourself and therefore control the narrative. As opposed to letting the other RHs write the narrative for you (think Denise and S10 -- and isn't it interesting how Kyle's SL this year sort of resembles Denise's). An entire season (S4) involved a full cast gang-up on LVP for bringing up the affair rumors! I wonder how they will be handled this season. I expect Kyle never to confirm it directly, but she'll do one of those knowing drink-sips to imply, yeah, he cheated. Mo's face dropped when she came back at him. He is no longer being protected by his wife to ensure their brand, and she seems really over him. I did feel bad for her kids. I don't think their reactions were fake or scripted. "IN BEVERLY HILLS, you can have it all -- but it only leaves you wanting MORE." "I'm switching sides in BEVERLY HILLS, but the only team I bat for is my famb'ly's." "IN THIS TOWN of secrets, I'm exposing my own!" "IN BEVERLY HILLS, love is a price worth paying for." ~sniffle~

So, amid a few Tweets (!!) saying this was going to be a borefest without Lisa Rinna... I found the trailer to be unexpectedly juicy! There is no SL other than Kyle's marriage on the show -- and Kyle probably wouldn't want it any other way. She finally has a starring role without any siblings or English roses stealing her thunder. Shocked that we not only see her daughters' reaction to the split, but we also see Morgan Wade on camera. As usual with BH, this raises questions of what elements have been outright scripted. Surprisingly little of Annemarie. We saw more of the Spanish chef. It also feels like this is trying to be Erika's redemption season? Seeing Jax talk about needing his mom two years' ago was unexpected, and felt raw. I have to imagine he's talking about when the Twitter bots went after him.

RHONY Sai really thought she did something at her lunch with Jessel. She acted like she'd exposed her or something, but she's the one who looked like an a$$. Why is she asking everyone for "their story" and then passing judgment on whether it's good enough? I find her dead-eyed and unlikeable. She wants to come off as the snarky 'fan-fave' (a Bethenny, if you will) but it's flopping big-time. Jessel needs to stop trying to win Sai over with her family history, though. Jessel is lowkey trolling her with that. Sai and Erin + husbands dissing Jessel's marriage was also not a good look. So if a woman doesn't put out, the husband has a right to stray? I'm not sure what's going on with Parvit & Jessel's marriage, it does seem staged in parts, but at least on camera they seem to be vibing, a lot more than the dumb lugs Sai and Erin married. (People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, just saying). And you better believe Sai is going to use that 'swingers in 10 years' time' nugget against Erin sooner or later. @Soaplovers As a book lover myself, i loved the rare bookstore sequence with Brynn. I think she is legit a collector. I'd rather see this more thoughtful side to her also.

The only surprise to me was no mention of a jump-off. Yet.

👀

I have no words. This lady has a fixation with the show, and it is not anchored in reality. Ugh I hate to give Bethenny any clicks as she uses other people's struggles and trauma to burnish her own brand, but yes I will be listening to this interview from beginning to end. I hope B doesn't talk all over her. They all look true to themselves: Erin, the stay-at-home mom "but I'm still young and cute, guys." Sai wants you all to know that she is an INFLUENCER. Jessel cannot dress for sh!t, but look how thrilled she looks! Of course Brynn went for 'Sexy Victoriana.' Ubah looks like a supermodel at an awards show, but her smile literally lights up the room. There was chatter online about Jenna's choice of jeans, and how dare she at a reunion. I knew she'd try to JCrew it. It's fine. Jenna has a very set, very controlled image of herself from her JCrew days and she's never going to stray from that. It would be, like, betraying her brand. Speaking of Jessel -- I am screaming in excitement. YES BRING BACK CAROLE RADZIWILL

They all look incredible in these pics. Karen is killing it!

@NothinButAttitude I'm not Australian so hopefully Aussies will correct me, but my understanding was that Lisa's husband was such a hot mess politically that Murdoch and his acolytes never would have legitimately backed him on the political stage. There were so many scandals and power struggles in that extremist party of his that he was eventually expelled from it. He then transitioned into reality TV with Lisa where they put their troubled marriage out there for public consumption. They have since divorced. So I think to the Murdoch execs, he was a useful idiot they could make some money off of. Lisa, who very likely had similar views as her husband and enjoyed the fame, came across to me as nobody's idiot. She trolled not just the other RHs but the audience itself. I suspect Foxtel saw that right away, saw that she understood the game and would be great for the show. She was an extremely controversial choice, though. Victoria voiced it on-camera and at the reunion, but she wasn't the only one who felt the Oldfields should not have been offered a platform given their extremist views. I remember Ampika! And Dawn. The Magali! The good old days. Good for Monique, honestly. Way before Bethenny jumped on that bandwagon.

Thank you for clarifying about Monique. If she's sworn off of reality TV, then that is that, but like you, I am hoping a smooth phone call from Andy might get her thinking about a potential return on Potomoc. (I didn't watch Love & Marriage so I have no clue how she came off on that spin-off). 100%. S6 Melbourne was enjoyable to me, and at worst needed a rest, not a cancellation. Same with Sydney. It had an over-inflated cast with half of them doing nothing. They could have cut it down to Victoria, Athena, Lisa, Krissy and cast for two more. But it's Murdoch's most powerful executives over at Foxtel, and they ruthlessly wield a machete when it comes to hiring and firings. Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland all had one important common denominator, and that is their EP, Kylie Washington, who is a reality show stalwart in Australia (and now creative director of BBC Studios ANZ). It would be great if Bravo added the ANZ RHs to its lineup, but I'm not sure the UK ones fit at all. Personally, I think the UK RHs are low budget and parochial, and not a good fit.

I always get a little nervous when Truly Original do these comedic filler edits -- substituting actual substance and story. Clearly Bravo is pulling back on the storyteller trailers, because it looks like Karen, Ashley, Wendy, Gizelle, Candiace have absolutely zero going on here. I mean, Jesus, another nothingburger non-SL from supposed OG Gizelle? Did we even see Chris Bassett? Is nobody going to talk about Robyn's Patreon fail? The newbie with the hair glue wants to out-Nigeria Wendy. Good luck with that. And she dragged Wendy's mom into it. You in danger, girl. If she goes after Ms. Dorothy, she is dead woman walking. 1. I missed Charrisse in that trailer, and I'm so glad I did. 2. Monique should be on here with her divorce SL, I totally agree. Why are production and certain cast-mates blocking this?? 3. Melbourne. Last I heard, Foxtel were so mad about Melbourne's final season numbers that they didn't even hire Alex Perry for a reunion. Melbourne has been unofficially cancelled.... although would Foxtel mind if a streaming service took over the franchise? Binge is just such a streaming service, and it is trying to reboot Sydney. I don't understand why they didn't try to reboot Melbourne first, as its got at least 4-6 core OGs who were hugely popular and would come back. For a price. As opposed to Sydney's cheapo newbies. Rumor has it that's why Victoria didn't come back -- money. I didn't know they wanted to do a Gold Coast show, but if they do, I hope it channels Kath & Kim or Ja'mie (Google them). I desperately wish they would revive Auckland. A hilarious, action-packed gem. Cat lady! Weakest Link lady! Racist lady. Angela Stoooone!

Two parts only? Are they getting punished? I thought their ratings/demos were doing pretty well comparatively speaking. Two parts is usually a sign that Bravo wasn't a fan, although personally I think two-parts is the way to go. Maybe they are 90 minute two-parters. I feel like that highly unsatisfying 'reunion trailer' was meant to showcase the new CGI. Which means Bravo just fired a bunch of set-dressers. Hopefully Bravo releases a real trailer with some meaty bits. It's weird that they didn't just use the bespoke Sydney music. Maybe because the new show is now on a different network/streaming service (Binge versus the usual Foxtel). Fully agree that they needed the 'force-multipliers' [(c) Carlos King] in the reboot. That should have been Victoria, Athena X (after a Xanax) and Lisa. Krissy could have been a fourth, or a FOH who needs to fight for her place (think: Adriana on RHOM). The fact that they went for Nicole, who had zip to offer in the OG RHOS, is insane to me. I see her newest tagline is "Blah blah blah family is important to me." What she's actually saying is "Nothing to see here." I get that in her London days, she was buds with Dorinda and Caroline Stanbury. She's been desperately trying to show up on different RHs ever since. But other than being Krissy Marsh's mute twin, I cannot see what on earth she is going to offer.

Twitter views these looks as too basic but I think each outfit and color perfectly represents the woman wearing it, especially Queen of the Night Heather. I feel like Shannon and Tamra are channelling past iconic reunion looks too. This entire rainbow concept fits sunny OC to a tee.

Yes, please don't forget OC which has recovered its mojo after 5 seasons in the doldrums! It's been an entertaining ride, and this week is the alliance-swapping, back-stabbing season finale. I don't know why Poromac isn't yet ready, which kind of worries me. However, I had forgotten M2M comes back around this time too! SIX RH (adjacent) shows! I love M2M. Teresa, Dolores, Jennifuh, it was nice knowing you.😥 Molly Burnett had a few decent moments in her Days career LOL but I know what you mean with Brynn, and now I can't unsee it.🤭
