BH: the product is bad and Andy and Bravo as a whole are so defensive over it. The one interesting spot this season is Dorit because she's in an open war with Kyle, who this week she openly told, to her face, that she doesn't trust her...but when Kyle is on WWHL, it's evident that Andy is Team Kyle, again not reading the room at all. BH and FauxNY are two of Andy's biggest botches. Pausing Miami is another. Now he's wishing and hoping, thinking and praying that the return of NJ will go well. -
Four episodes in and this franchise is firing on all cylinders. My favourite show on Bravo.

I really enjoyed this episode too and was so glad to see Morgan looking so much better. She said she dealt with a mold problem and Suzanne Somers (RIP) gave her some doctors to talk to before she died. A lot of that comes down to Morgan Fairchild being as intelligent as she is. Her description of the production situation on The City was interesting because she clearly as technical knowledge and her statement about ABC being in over their heads rings true. I was disappointed with how basically said nothing about Dallas, Flamingo Road, and Falcon Crest. Morgan has a great memory. Peter Bergman's interview was good because he was candid and cried about his time on All My Children. Rebecca and Greg aren't genius, but they're not bad, and their rawness can sometimes be helpful. Where Greg fumbles is when he tries to heap praise unnecessarily.

Todd already withdrew his lawsuit, with prejudice, meaning he can't revisit the issue, back in December 2025.

It's such bad news given Bravo is hell bent on making FauxNY happen. And it will never happen. Meanwhile, you had Miami with an incredible, entertaining, blast of a season ending with a crescendo surrounding a Haitian Mortician. And it's the franchise that gets paused? Pathetic!

This is such garbage: Miami has been 'put on pause' per the Hollywood Reporter: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/real-housewives-miami-paused-bravo-1236540475/

Can I be forgiven for asking, who? Is this a character I should recall? I do not.

I always disliked Access Hollywood. It had nothing on ET. Kind of amazing to see NBCU exit first run syndication entirely.
-
Loved it. Way better cast than the original LoL. The Dara stuff was so unflattering given she exposed herself on camera within the same episode that she denied doing so. Mark-Francis was totally himself. A total one-off.
-
Absolutely. And Monique is an objectively smart person. I do not see how she didn’t see it was Kierna who was openly talking speaking to Cookie.
-
That was admirable of Monique to fully exonerate Stacy. Now I want Monique to return and annihilate whoever on the cast was the leak...
-
Thank you for posting this - I had a hard time finding it. The Actor Awards Memoriam has now become the best of the awards shows, BAFTA used to be, but now they focus on the performer, such a glaring mistake. It's nice that several daytime folks made the cut: Fulton would have been thrilled that they used a clip of Lisa at her sparkling best.

RHOP Now THAT was a solid 3 part reunion. Aside from Ashley's clip package, there was zero filler. The Monique 'evidence' moment from last week amounted to more hearsay. I don't know why nobody is talking about Kierna outing herself when she mentioned she talked to Cookie immediately after the scenes were filmed? Duh, people, the leak is Cookie. The case against Wendy, from everything I've reviewed, is overwhelming, so it was strange to watch her act like a victim. The email evidence alone shows that she and Eddie knew what they were doing in making their fraudulent insurance claims. Karen's appearance was good. I now appreciate that she would prefer to label herself positively, as a woman living in lifetime recovery from all substances, rather than take on the shameful moniker of alcoholic. Her moment with Stacy made me laugh: "Did you lie again?" said with the casualness of someone ordering an iced tea on a summer afternoon. I also think she was absolutely correct about Wendy talking too much because that nonsensical story she told about the dog making a mess...it's not good. The prosecution will use that against her. When it comes to the newbies, I'd bring back Angel and Tia. Although Angel is a mess, I enjoyed her at the reunion and the disaster she hosted in Colorado gave us some fantastic TV. I'd dump Kierna whose just never quite clicked and I'd dump Jassi too. She added nothing to the reunion. Considering her husband is on the practice squad, she has a very mighty opinion of herself...she should take a page out of Tia's book and get a job that can support their family. Overall, a very, very good season.

Yes, it’s been a really good season, albeit very different from the original premise of the show. It’s interesting to see a show shed 80% of its original cast over time and still be compelling. I will look forward to season 5. I think the writers are wise to end it there. This season has been so dramatic and so big, mirroring many real life events, that it could have jumped the shark.

What a nightmare for Mary. She fought hard for him.
-
I myself prefer threads because it's organized and structured.
-
The site looks great, the concept has been very well executed, and the price will appeal to fans. Casey deserves a lot of credit. This is a great way to monetize existing IP for the Bells. If only Y&R and DAYS would do this.
-
I thought Karen's interview on Sherri was much, much better than her sit down with Andy.
-
What a great start to the reunion. Stacey had me laugh out loud when she quietly said "God rest his soul" when they mentioned James Earl Jones. Angel held her own. Gizelle realllllllly does not come across well when the whole 'catfish' thing came up. And Ashley is miserable. Time for her to go!

I'm glad the internet did its thing and ended Jill Zarin. I look forward to seeing Lu and Sonja and the other ladies on the E! show without her.

My recollection was she said she had disease of alcoholism. You're right she did not say 'alcoholic' but I thought she did say 'alcoholism'.
-
That's how I feel as well. I was partly disappointed, but not completely, as Karen focused on her abuse of pills. However, I was glad that in the last segment she referred to herself as an alcoholic. I think Karen was definitely more accountable than Shannon, but less accountable than Luann, so her interview wasn't what I'd hoped it to be, but it wasn't a waste either. Luann did not try and sugar coat or wrap her issues in gauze...she just said it how it was, right down to eating a prison sandwich that still had the mustard packet in it. Shannon continues to excuse herself and flatly deny that she has a problem, when she literally drove into a house with her dog in the car too. The irony of it is Luann's crime was the least serious (drunk and disorderly, no vehicle involved, no risk to innocent parties), yet she took it more seriously than either Karen or Shannon have. My problem with the interview started when Karen talked about 'mentoring' the young women in prison...like she was already trying to cast herself in a positive light as this experienced woman full of wisdom. A truly wise person would realize she's at the very beginning of recovery and should humble herself more than she has. I think it was good that she didn't pretend everything with Ray was great. And it was also good that she didn't claim she deserved a second chance from viewers. I'm also glad she admitted to ignoring her lawyers when they gave her good advice - many clients would never do that. It was also good that she admitted Ashley's intel, while very old news (note Ashley omitted that part), was accurate. There is definitely something going on with Wendy though and I wonder if the reunion will shed light on it.
