Agreed!

B&B's official YouTube channel has posted the full length tribute to Ed and Melody Thomas Scott. It features extra footage not included in the Emmy's telecast. It verifies my suspicion that the Bells produced this, rather than the Emmys themselves, the background music is all signature Bell cues.

RHONJ Teresa: that sit down at the end was another glimpse into the empty cavity that is Teresa Giudice's cranium. She claims she and Luis always want to be the bigger people? The delusion is intense. Her lack of logic is scary. Also, Luis just took out a $1 million mortgage on their house while she continues to owe $640,000 in unpaid taxes. Rachel: her husband was smart to just come out and say he dealt marijuana and that the person who supplied the information, his ex, is the one who is incarcerated for crystal meth. It shows how low Luis will go to gather information. Danielle: just what the world needs, another vulgar children's clothing line with absolutely zero taste, likely manufactured in a third world sweatshop by children the same age as those intended to wear such fashions... Delores: her 'fight' with Paul seemed totally made up. Melissa: she and Joe are clinging to their daughter's going to college. Nothing else is going on. Margaret: she has done exactly nothing all season. Jenn Aydin and Jenn Fessler: they had a lunch. It was a non-event. Jackie: so thirsty for camera time. This franchise is so dead.They need to fire everyone and start again.

That is a harrowing trailer. His life was full of so much pain.

Absolutely. The Daytime Emmys can serve as a promotional event for each of the soaps as much as anything else...so it boggles me that each of the soaps didn't insist on having a clip package played throughout the night for Best Drama Series...I really miss the good old days when the show featured clip packages around various themes (couples, fashion, catfights) - they really add to the production quality of the show.

I watched it. Yawn. An absolute snooze aside from the MTS and Ed Scott Lifetime Achievement Award, which I really enjoyed, and the clip package was lovingly done and clearly by someone not affiliated with NATAS. There's no production value, no stakes, and no fans present, which sucks all the air out of the room.

Bel-Air used to be where the old money lived. But now, there is no true old money in LA. All of the prominent families like the Annenbergs and the Chandlers have faded, from prominence, despite their fortunes remaining intact. The grande dames like Betsy Bloomingdale have passed away and no one replaced them because LA has become a soulless company town. Most of the mansions in Bel-Air are built with foreign money and sit empty for much of the year. And any truly respectable and well to do Los Angeleno wouldn't be caught dead on reality TV. This looks like a GREAT season!

THIS. My goodness she was annoying AF in the premiere of this new season, hobbling around in ridiculous dresses and shoes. I'm not sure it's Bravo having no faith in Dubai, but more so that Bravo didn't plan their schedule well, so Tuesday is now vacant after this evening as both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley are finished their respective seasons.

Thank you for that update I had wondered when it was coming back!

I love the show and devoured this latest season. Look forward to season 4. Very much enjoyed the cameo from Deidre Hall.

The reunions are bonus pay - it hurt the RHONY women like Sonja a lot when the reunion didn’t happen. Ramona said it cost Sonja $250,000 that she very much could have used while she, Lu, and Dorinda, didn’t really care (typical Ramona!)

Jennifer Lopez has sustained a career that her peers have not. She is a workhorse. However, her latest album is an unmitigated flop. It didn't crack the top 20 and very nearly didn't crack the top 40. She is overexposed and the media has turned on her. She can do nothing right. She and her management have made a wise decision to retreat. I expect she will disappear for the foreseeable future. Whether there will be a marital issue down the road remains to be seen.

Plus, they are historically some of the best rated episodes of each season and from a production standpoint are major bang for the buck given they get 3 episodes out of 1 days work. Absolutely - fire all of them. If Bravo wants to put Teresa into a spinoff, they can do so, but I suspect they know that Teresa on her own, without cast members creating conflict with her, will be like watching paint dry. This cast has imploded in a way that even the RHONY women did not.

Lauren Koslow's new contract must have a 1 episode a month guarantee - such a shame.

Yes. I really struggled to type on my phone the other day about Sonja's townhouse. The pop-ups have gotten worse. People Magazine is confirming there will not be a "traditional reunion," but hints that Bravo is trying to figure out an alternative: https://people.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14-reunion-canceled-exclusive-8655924 It's time to reboot and fire the entire cast. If Bravo wants to give Teresa a spinoff, so be it, but the franchise itself needs a hard reboot.

Sonja’s townhouse sold for $4,450,000 - exactly half of what her husband paid for it in 1998.

There's nothing to understand when it comes to Bethenny because her behaviour is neither sane nor logical. She is as entitled as they come. In other RHONY News... Sonja's Townhouse Auction. Current Bid: $4,250,000 Auction closes in 24 hours.

Way back in the 1996 - 2003 era, Roman and Kate's eventual romance made sense because it had a long, long buildup and tension between Kate and Sami and Sami/Marlena/Roman/John. The marriage this time around is pure convenience to give both characters an anchor on the canvas. Their episode guarantees have clearly been slashed and this was the writing team's way of giving them a 'happily ever after.' It's what made Y&R so great and different. Many characters were islands unto themselves and each storyline stood on its own. That's changed quite a bit in the last 20 years, but prior to that you had a ton of characters who ostensibly never knew each other.

Dame Joan celebrates her 91st birthday today and just a few days ago she was at the Chelsea Flower Show in London wearing an enormous, glamorous, hat:

The bidding is now up to $4,250,000 What's interesting in the Curbed article you've got there is a mention that Sonja has a beach house in Florida...could it be that Sonja has been holding out on her holdings or is this another glamorous fib from Lady Morgan?

Sonja's Townhouse Current Bid: $4,000,000 9 more days of bidding left.

Completely agree - Marge and Rachel looked like idiots this episode with the way they were speaking to Jenn Fessler like she's their longtime best friend when she's a thirsty wannabe full time cast member. I didn't like Jackie's general attitude because she seems pissed off that she isn't full-time. Where is Evan? The episode was flattering to both Teresa and Melissa because both focused on their families. Say what you want about either of them, but their children adore them and are all devoted to each other. The odd person out this episode was Jenn Aydin - that doesn't bode well for her because it shows she really don't have any allies on this show. When Teresa isn't around to film, she has no one.

This is how I feel. I think this is a hot garbage cast and I wish them luck in creating a compelling show because I just don't see it.
