RI I wanted to wait till episode 2 aired in order to give a review because I knew we had one more housewife coming aboard and she did not disappoint. Overall, this show has strong NJ vibes because they're all Italian and all somehow know each other, except for The Bachelor's Ashley, who is married to a native Rhode Islander. I definitely enjoyed the first two episodes and will continue watching. This show has the organic chemistry that is so lacking in certain franchises and can really make or break a show. Jo-Ellen is an absolute bitch and not someone I'd want to encounter in real life. Liz, the one who looks like NJ's Dolores, is a hoot. Rulla will be very flamboyant and aggressive. Rosie is a pot stirrer. Kelsey is more sympathetic than I expected given she's a sugar baby, but she seems genuinely conflicted. Alicia is a dim bulb but her stupidity seems amusing. Ashley seems sweet and stressed out and devoted to her husband. ATL I thought that was a good premiere and enjoyed all of it. I like K. Michelle. Very unsure about this Pinky. Drew remains deluded. I am on neither team Porsha or team Shamea - I like them both. Angela and Phaedra should get over it. I still can't believe Angela is only 44. Kelli is still portraying herself in a financially ridiculous way. I liked how this cast gels and wanted to have some fun for the start. BH Stick a fork in it. It's soon to be done. An utter flop of a season and just further evidence that Kyle needs to be fired. She is an albatross to the show. The only person who has put in any work this season is Dorit, whose life is imploding, while Jennifer, Kathy, and Rachel Zoe were all easy breezy and amusing with some fun lifestyle stuff.

Give me 1990 - 2002 and I'll watch the hell out of it.

Here's Mark-Francis from Celebs Go Dating and it highlights why I will always ride for him. He is always himself.

Nurse Sheila Carter will see you now, Dr. Hayes!

I’ve “known” Mark-Francis for 15 years and he’s never changed. I think the audience is very happy with him and see how he fits in.

Margo is heinous and I think she's about to get in Mark-Francis' crosshairs and he doesn't miss.

I have caught up on episodes - this show is so messy and wild and I'm loving it so much. This feels like the campy, over the top late 90s B&B that I loved so much. Between the fashion show showdown between Katie and Brooke, with Morgan Fairchild providing delightful commentary, Ivy reading Miz Dylan for filth and telling her she's not getting in the way of her meddling, right down to Sheila thinking Taylor was having some 'me time' and then cluing into the pizza box as the giveaway of Deacon and Taylor's affair...loving it.

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.

I caught up on Thursday and Friday's episodes today and loved that someone on the writing staff is in on the joke. Ivy said her catchphrase at least 4 or 5 times. I am really sincere when I say it had better be the opening or closing line of the B&B Emmy montage.

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.
