I absolutely agree. It felt like a series finale for at least some of the cast. All of the new blood are flops. Jax and Brittney are over and done and I don't care what happens to either of them (not in a love to hate way, just a "ugh, get them off the screen" way). They are just gross. I agree with your exit list (though I would demote Lala to Friend Of since she still has an enviable life and could host a party or two) and I think Katie should also be demoted since she's brought NOTHING to the show for years. I think that the show needs to pivot to the expansion of Tom Tom with the two Toms and LVP, focus next season on breaking the 4th Wall and showing the real lives of people like Kristen and Schena and Ariana who absolutely get the shaft in comparison to Stassi, and do NOT focus on a Stassi/Beau wedding (if it happens at all due to Covid-19).

Rinna is absolutely atrocious this season - appearing to throw away a 20 year friendship with Denise for this show. What happened to her? Does she think this ends well for her? Like, where did that fun woman whose in on the joke go? Kyle is just a bore. She needs to go down hard and then get off the show. She is a whiney disgrace. I cannot stomach watching her. Teddi is just a bad joke trying to back Kyle up. I root for Dorit to destroy them both. Erika had a good episode last week...but this week...hypocrite. When it comes to the bold section...YES. These women should all be treading awfully carefully, especially Rinna. They want to talk about Denise's kids but would they tolerate someone talking about theirs? I hope Garcelle and Denise nuke these broads, sans Dorit (who seems to like Denise).

It absolutely was. It's the Covid-19 joke we didn't know we needed.

I binge watched the entire 8 episodes (only 20 minutes each) this weekend. I loved it for the time capsule that it is, obviously produced on the cheap, with Dale throwing herself into the reality show mix with the enthusiasm of a character out of a Tennessee Williams play. I liked that, like early OC housewives, the stories are all running independent of each other: that Jules woman appearing to be a racist lunatic in that hotel suite, throwing glasses, that Devorah Rose (who I believe has put more than one housewife on the cover of her magazine) being exposed as plain old Deborah Denise Trachtenberg, John Paul Calderon being a dramatic mess, and then there's Tinsley, little girl lost, whose mother is an overbearing Southern Belle. It shows how little Tinsley has evolved in a decade. It seemed she took a gamble on fame and how Real Housewives, and then leaving New York entirely, was her fated conclusion.

I think that's the most plausible scenario - he polished everything but left the overall writing work to Alden. It's interesting to see Meg Bennett listed as an EP in that list above.

If anyone needs a distraction, I've found High Society on YouTube, which is the trashterpiece CW reality show starring RHONY's Tinsley and her mother, Dale (who features heavily). First episode posted below and the whole series (all one season of it) is from the same blessed account. Apparently this is the series that "finished" Tinsley in New York society. It's a hot mess and totally worth a watch.

Another entertaining as hell episode of RHONY. This show just doesn't disappoint. From comparing their breast implants in the Russian spa (I'd never have thought Dorinda's were fake, while I can spot Lu's from a mile off) to Sonja proclaiming "I just want to be me! If I want to be fat, I'll be fat!" to Ramona and Dorinda duking it out in an elevator bank as that dark spectre Elyse lurks by, to Lu and Leah having a bronchitis brunch with Tinsley, it was heaven.

Agreed on all counts. LVP looms large over this show and her memory haunts every one of them. I enjoyed this episode as Garcelle and Denise directly and accurately pursued Kyle and all her B.S. I now believe Camille 100%. Kyle is a proven liar time and again.

Totally agree re Kenya. I love Porscha and her performance in the reunion so far has amused me incredibly. This show needs Nene. Love her or hate her, her name is on everyone's lips.

I have - God love Dame Joan for thinking any one of her sex scenes in The Stud will ever be considered anything other than the very summit of disco fabulous sexploitation.

+2 I'm with @Antoyne I couldn't agree more.

RHONY is the most consistently excellent show on television. I am guaranteed to laugh, and smile, and roll my eyes, at least once each episode. This episode was no exception. The corn maze/winery trip was hilarious. Especially at the end while Lu recounted the virtues of the male body in person vs d*ck pics.

Totally agree. Denise is far, far tougher than Kyle. She's been married to and divorced from Charlie Sheen. None of these women will scare her.

I forgot to mention that! Yes! Denise is getting that B&B promo in. "I'm filming like 10 episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful a week"...

I loved Denise ripping into Kyle's whiney, stupid ass. And LVP continues to loom large over this show. PK couldn't keep her name out of his mouth when speaking to Robert Earl...

Camille looks absolutely stunning - and that's filming on a smartphone (undoubtedly with a ring light). The rest of 'em don't hold a candle to her.

I never knew that and I would have loved that. Raul would have been half brother's with Nina's son with Philip and that would have given Kay and Jill more to play with.

@Cat @DRW50 @Gray Bunny @Taoboi @SFK @Bright Eyes @I Am A Swede Dame Joan lead the Toast to the Nation as part of the official VE Day celebrations on the balcony of her home in Central London today:

Vyle is a bitch and always has been. It's so gratifying to see that exposed in the cold, hard light of day. Her insulting Denise at the table ("ragamuffin") really showed what a petty, mean, sh*tty person she is. The editors can't stop with the LVP flashbacks. She looms large over this show.

The interesting thing is Susan Lucci wore no jewelry in the first frame, and then a lot in the second. Heather looks healthy. The healthiest she's been in years. I wish her so well.

RHONY Another great episode full of fun and laughs and pettiness. Just how I like it. I won't belabour the episode because I thought it was just tons of fun and a breeze to watch. But I will say the following: 1. The Bravo editors were incredible when they inserted the caption "Loic: Hairdresser For Models Actually In The Show" 2. Luann looked INCREDIBLE in that black dress and tortoise geometric necklace:

That is how I feel. Kenya is far more unlikeable and unwatchable. Nene still makes me laugh.

I'm absolutely tuning in for this. It will be great to see them all together again (albeit physically distanced)

I almost feel bad for Nene too. It's clear that someone in production has it out for her. I also point out that she told no lies about Eva. Eva is incredibly boring and no matter how well she performs at the reunion, she should not be returning to the show because she brought nothing, and I mean nothing, this entire season. She brought nothing last season either. Tanya and Marlo both brought MUCH more to the show and neither of them gets the glory Eva does... I've finally caught up on RHOA today (it seems that the broadcast of the last two episodes has been delayed in Canada, but they're up on Hayu)...overall it's been a very decent season. I do not care for the Kandi and Todd drama at all. Todd is a petulant twerp. Mama Joyce is a bitter cow. Kandi is an industrious, kick ass, woman and she's better than both of them put together. Todd publicly flogging himself was needed. He has no clue how good he has it. Little Ace is adorable. It is blatantly obvious that Cynthia is only in Atlanta for the show and that she otherwise is in Los Angeles with Mike. Her own child isn't there. Speaking of children, what on earth is Cynthia playing at with mentioning a baby? We do not need a fake pregnancy musing storyline a la Melissa Gorga. Porsha looked like a superstar at Kandi's baby shower. This season has been incredible for her. Kenya is a bitch with an ugly heart. I don't like watching her because none of it rings true. Fake as they come. She has made me feel sympathetic to Nene.
