Indeed. And as stated in the CNN clip, Canadians, and our federal, provincial, and local governments, remain on guard and have not declared any form of victory over this virus. The situation remains in flux until there is a reliable vaccine. Canadians were fortunate our governments removed politics from the response, relying on objective science and respect and compassion for each other. In my view the Canadian people would not have settled for anything less. I am so afraid for the United States and I wish everyone on SON who is in the United States good health and safety.

I was dismayed to hear about what was happening in Melbourne. I visited Australia's east and south coasts in 2018 and was so impressed with the kindness and enthusiasm of the Australian people. Terrible to hear about Melbourne's numbers but hopeful at the swift response. I am dismayed at the route England is taking.

I am speaking from Canada and totally agree with you. Canadians, like Australians, are very concerned for the American people who are sick and dying and the dire economic consequences of not getting control of the Covid-19 infection rate.

I only have seen concern about the current state of the United States in the midst of this pandemic based on compassion and the fact that the US numbers are shockingly horrible. I hope everyone stays healthy and safe. Listen to the science, not the politics.

Care to explain what you mean by this?

The issue is twofold with RHONY's lockdown confessionals: 1. Inconsistent lighting. Sonja's lighting was the closest to usual quality - thanks to natural light in Palm Desert (where she was in lockdown for two months) and knowing how to use a ring light. Luann was obviously facing north because the light on her was incredibly harsh and washed her out and she set her camera high so although she had good angles, she didn't look centred like the rest. Ramona's lighting was second to Sonja's, but she set her camera low. Dorinda's lighting is WAY too bright and washed her out in a different way because there was no natural light in her setup. Leah's looked rough because her background was too dark. 2. No mics. That is just odd but I think the producers figured the women might struggle to coordinate microphones with the mobile phones they were using. They should give them more credit because the mics would have easily plugged into the phones and captured their speech much clearer. I would note that RHONY's confessionals appear to be more of the 'pickup' variety as there were plenty of normal footage confessionals used as well, so this was part of the editing process that they didn't finish before lockdown occurred. They also had the issue of one of their editors dying of Covid-19 so that probably delayed them being able to wrap up production in as timely a fashion as they would have liked.

Bravo doesn't want someone blowing the over-produced bullsh*t that is RHOBH. They know that Camille can't be bought and she doesn't care enough about fame to be complicit in the nonsense that BH peddles time and again.

+4 - God bless Camille Donatacci Grammer Meyer - she who holds the truth has nothing to fear.

POTOMAC Karen and Monique's taglines are amazing. Gizelle, on the other hand, is still the same tired old crap. Boring. Ashley and Robyn, keeping it classy as always...

I'd love to see Mo'Nique on ATL. She'd only survive a season before she'd burn all her bridges and flame out spectacularly but it would be fascinating.

ATL: Eva is OUT. She’s announced her own exit, but we know how these things work in the Housewives universe: https://people.com/tv/eva-marcille-leaving-real-housewives-of-atlanta/ Her exit means nothing for the show since she did nothing for seasons.

Sonja screaming "SHUT THE F*CK UP ABOUT THEM!" is a MOOD. Also a mood is Sonja's post on Tinsley's Instagram goodbye. It's so petty and I couldn't stop laughing:

I know! I check this thread all the time - for my money it's the best on the board. If anyone needs a show to watch to fill the void, 2 seasons of Selling Sunset are on Netflix. It's a very fun watch.

All 4 seasons of Melbourne are flawless and for my money the most enjoyable RH franchise in the world. Vancouver is a perfect 2 season capsule franchise that would grip Bravo viewers from coast to coast. Toronto is a 1 season wonder. And when in doubt, Cheshire has at least 10 season by now that could fill the void.

The tidal wave against several people on Bravo is gaining force, I'm looking at you Kelly Dodd, so I'm not surprised Bravo took decisive action with VPR. I can certainly appreciate people wanting to see LVP being vocal...but I took her silence to mean there were things happening behind the scenes with production that she knew were coming. And so they did.

One thing to be mindful of is LVP is a producer on the show and Bravo have to go through legal before firing people so they can’t be immediately vocal in case it opens them up to liability and lawsuits from those they fire. Stassi and Kristen were both just fired, so clearly it was happening behind the scenes. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/stassi-schroeder-kristen-doute-fired-vanderpump-rules-1234629172/

Kristen and Stassi have both been fired from Vanderpump Rules.

This cast is so problematic - it really lends itself to pivoting to just following the Toms over to Tom Tom with LVP there naturally, with cameos from Ariana, Schena and Katie...fire the rest of them.

Jax is awful and needs to go. Charli is a nobody and I see no reason she has relevance but she destroyed him. And it was great to see how much Arianna gets under his skin.

Luann came across so well in this episode. She was so wonderful with Dorinda. It reminded me of a scene years ago when Sonja took down her ex-husband's painting in her townhouse. Who was there to hold her hand? Luann. I just laughed and laughed with Sonja this episode. I love how industrious she is - she's going to strike a business deal at a bar in Rhode Island and God help anyone who gets in her way.

Erika is such a weakling, it's comical to see her with balls of brass in her confessionals but silent face to face while Denise takes no prisoners. Denise and Garcelle massacred those awful women calmly and directly. Rinna leaving that table to play with the kids has me of two minds: did she do it because she didn't want to take part in the pile on because of her 20+ year friendship with Denise, or did she do it because she saw that Teddi and Kyle had botched the attack on Denise and didn't want to stick around and be part of the carnage, knowing Denise could annihilate her? If Rinna has any soul at all, probably a bit of both. She is coming off horribly this season.

Was Ms. Wyndham just a nightmare behind the scenes? I seem to have totally missed the lore on the behind the scenes action on the show - I only really remember Linda Dano saying it was a family out there in Brooklyn (just as she did in that clip).

ATL Finished Part 3 of the Reunion and it felt like a waste of an episode other than seeing Baby Ben and Eva apologizing to Marlo unreservedly.

Good for Porsha!
