I see the point of the article, to an extent, but the Vanderpump cast has brought it time and again and I think we're in for a good season.

Team Marge - Danielle invaded her space, chest bumped her and was screaming at her. She dumped water on her face to face - not like Danielle the coward pulling the back of her head when her back was turned.

If Bravo wants OC to improve, they must fire Tamra. She is the source of the rot on this show and if they don't see it they are blind to their own problems. The thing about 'pot-stirring' is that it's all contrived and none of it is genuine. None of it. Zero. And that's why OC, like BH, is faltering. Compare those two awful franchises, which have been awful for years, with RHONJ, RHOATL, RHOP and RHONY. Those shows are all comparably light hearted and the 'drama' that unfolds is comparably organic. On OC, it's clear Tamra views the show as her job (like Rinna does on BH) and self produces every single action. It's as fake as it comes and it's tiresome to watch.

I was sad to hear that Caroline and Cem had split up...I wonder what she's going to do since he's still working in Dubai. I think they should continue LoL...I wouldn't want to see Caroline tarnished by the crap of RHOBH.

What is Nene thinking? She is making herself irrelevant.

Me too - she has always seemed like the loveliest woman, so I'm glad to see her looking happy and surrounded by friends.

In RHOP news the criminal cases against Monique and Candiace have both been dismissed by the prosecutor's office. Monique's lawyer shaded Candiace something fierce while Candiace's lawyer was a bit more laissez faire about the whole mess: https://people.com/tv/rhop-monique-samuels-candiace-dillard-assault-charges-dismissed/

Linda Dano threw a holiday party earlier this month...

If Vicki hadn't come to the reunion, I would say she was easily the most important cast member this season - there were no stories without her! However, she humiliated herself at the reunion and she wreaked of desperation. It was punishing to watch her fall so hard and so far.

I haven't always dislike Vicki - much as she was a total pain in the ass, I found her compelling to watch because she often let it all hang out. The scene where she found out her mother died is still one of the saddest moments I've ever seen on TV. However, this reunion reflected terribly on her and I can only imagine what the producers think/feel about her. Some might sympathize with her given that she's being sidelined for younger women and it's somewhat obvious that Vicki has aged out of the show, becoming quite the prude, but she seems like a terror behind the scenes.

I think we just witnessed Vicki's memoriam. How does she possibly come back to RHOC after that?

They were talking sh*t about each other at BravoCon which occurred after the reunion filmed.

Kenya is awful and it seems she met her match with Marc. He appears to absolutely despise her. I loved seeing Cynthia's proposal. And again, Nene was wholly irrelevant. Give Marlo a peach, felony convictions and all. OC Reunion Part 2: it was nice to see Vicki and Kelly hug in the hallway. From what happened at BravoCon, it didn't last. Word on the street, according to the loathsome TT, Twitter, Instagram, etc, is that OC is going to be facing a heavy recasting. It needs it. If they don't fire Tamra, though, it will all be for nought.

I love that moment so very much. Lizzie will go down in Housewives legend for that moment alone. She just told the truth and Tamra couldn't handle it. OC The finale was 'meh' to me...but I hear that guitar music that closes out the show and all feels right in the world. The problem I have with the show is that half the cast is producing their entire storyline and nothing is authentic. The reunion Part 1 was so ugly for Vicki. Her ego and behaviour was atrocious and I feel like this may be the end for her. I am of mixed minds about that. On the one hand, Vicki has been in our lives for nearly 15 years - so her exit would be big. On the other hand, the show is a toxic mess. Vicki and Tamra and Gina should all be dumped. Tamra has zero storyline and that's been the case for years - and she's a loathsome awful woman who isn't enjoyable to watch at all. They may want to dump Kelly too because she's very polarizing, although I do enjoy watching her. Shannon is a mess but she's transparent so makes for compelling TV and doesn't feel as produced as the others. Emily has flickers of being interesting (the passing comment about dating a drug dealer with a boat and a lot of jet skis, plus she's demolished Vicki on Twitter). ATL I'm loving this season. I couldn't stand watching Dennis. He is such a Mr. Potato Head bastard. Nene should be very concerned because she is not needed anymore and has brought very little to this season. Eva brings nothing to the show. Loving the Cynthia/Mike scenes - he is totally into her and they seem a great match. Kandi's little Ace is SO cute: the scene where they said grace was so adorable. Kenya crying behind her purse had me rolling my eyes. NJ The Easter dinner scene. Whew. That was heavy. Teresa is so blindingly dumb I can't handle watching her too much because I think my IQ suffers. Her brother, Joe Gorga, is so emotionally tuned in and he's really looking out for his nieces. His quietly getting upset while talking to Joe Giudice in ICE spoke volumes. He is quietly devastated for his sister and is also trying to be the voice of reason about the likelihood of Joe Giudice being released and the money they are wasting. DALLAS The finale was chilling. I do not see how Leanne comes back from that - the whole cast turned on her and she dug herself into a massive, gaping, chasm without breaking a sweat. This show also needs to be recast (aside from Stephanie and, ironically, Kameron)

I got Cynthia - not disappointed in that result at all.

I tend to agree that after seeing this week's episode, Leanne is finished. Kary's job should not be spared, however, as she is an atrocious housewife and contributes nothing of any value. The only cast member I would keep is Stephanie because she is beloved - and if that means Brandi too then so be it.

I haven't seen this week's DALLAS...but it doesn't sound good for Leanne... NJ was enjoyable as Danielle starts to lurk from the shadows. OC wasn't bad - I've loving Emily so much. More importantly, The Grand Dame was on HSN shilling La' Dame, and I think she did well and was good and natural for her first time on home shopping!

My goodness. They're positively obsessed with LVP.

Last night’s OC proved that Vicki needs to be brought back full time. What would that episode have been without her? She is dominating the show.

ATL I caught up on 2 weeks of ATL last night. This franchise is back. Turns out it needed fake ass Kenya to have real ass life problems to roar back to relevancy. If I were Nene I'd be very, very concerned. She has hardly been in the show and I haven't missed her at all. She's brought nothing to the episodes she's been in so far. I enjoy watching Cynthia because she isn't a psychopath. She's a nice lady who laughs easily and is stunningly beautiful. I like seeing someone like her getting her life together. I've really enjoyed Marlo. Like, I've never enjoyed her like this. Showing her family is compelling and makes me look at her with a more rounded view. Kandi's surrogate storyline is interesting because she is actually doing it...unlike Melissa Gorga on NJ who hasn't had a real storyline in years. Porscha is the star of this season though. My heart goes out to her because she's in real pain and she's doing her best to make a life for herself and baby PJ. ATL feels way more real than it has in years and the false notes (Eva, Nene) stick out because they don't have anything real, be it good or bad, going on. DALLAS @Taoboi you're a better man than me - that employment situation sounds infuriating and horrible. I felt for Leanne and I see why she exploded. I also don't think she's a racist. I just don't. I think Kary got under her skin and aggressively antagonized her. It will be interesting to see how this week's episode goes. OC I like Kelly sometimes and I don't like that Shannon was so stupid to get snowed by Tamra. Again. Tamra is the worst element of this show and it will never move forward so long as she's around.

I agree - Duncan was Iris to me and I would have loved to see her in the final episode. Lansbury did indeed hire her classic film costars for Murder, She Wrote, so that they'd always keep their benefits. But Van Johnson said that Lansbury paid them very well for a week's work as a guest star too - one of the most generous people in the business.

From your keystrokes to Peter Morgan's scripts. That event is too dramatic, and Erin Doherty too perfectly cast, for this event to not be portrayed.

Have watched the first two episodes of Season 3 - loving it - if there's any justice, the nameplates for the Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG and BAFTA awards for Best Supporting Actress are being readied for Helena Bonham Carter. She is sensational.

The roar of the crowd for LVP is something to hear, it's posted on Twitter and Instagram aplenty and it said one thing: The Queen is back. Kyle is not going to change. I'm glad LVP sees her for who and what she is.
