Melbourne: Boy am I glad they are back. But a lot has sure changed... It saddens me to see Gamble/Gina's friendship crumble, but I can understand why. Gamble is a bit of a famewhore and it has always been obvious. I think because Pettifleur was such a b-tch that a lot of Gamble's shortcomings got covered up or swept under the rug. This season is gonna be the downfall of Gamble. She's too aware of the cameras and thirsts for attention. I'm team Gina on the matter. If Gamble was truly ever Gina's friend, she would've reached out and attended Gina's dad wake and funeral. Venus is gorgeous, but I wanna see a pic of her old self, which she claims to be "ugly." While it might be a bit farfetched, a part of me wonders if Venus has issues with her Arabic background. I do think she's gonna pan out to be a great addition to the show. I can see how she and Gina bonded--not only by their legal backgrounds, but Venus is level-headed much like Gina. Lydia won me over this episode. I never cared for Lydia much in the past (especially, season 1), but I thought it was nice how she came to Gina's aid during her time of need. I still don't care about her damn dog though. Jackie... Never liked this heffa. Never will. Jackie is such a liar and full of crap, and I enjoyed when Lydia called her on it. Jackie saying she doesn't like calling people in front of a crowd was hilarious. The same Jackie that stayed calling Gina out for years in front of people? I can remember when she and Gina had their last big blowout in that restaurant and she tried calling Gina out. Hell, last year she called Lydia out in the finale and alleged the woman was sleeping around. Jackie is a trip. Janet is OK. I'm always on the fence with her. Sometimes, she enjoyable. Other times, she annoys me. She doesn't grate my nerves like Jackie though. I'm excited for Gamble v. Venus AND Gamble v. Gina next week. Is it just me or does Sally [who premieres next week] gives off knockoff Chyka vibes? Same haircut, in the same industry (fashion), same hair color... Venus does mirror Pettifleur a bit too, but she's more relaxed. Production was sneaky with that.

He's on Kim's side. Only thing is that he can't hide all of Kim's heinous acts. Otherwise, it'd be gaps in the show. I think Michael Beck is banking for the audience to be on Kim's side when roach-gate begins with Nene/Kim. I think again, he's gonna misread the audience and ppl will side with Nene over Kim. Kim is reading too desperate and the audience picks up on it. Come reunion time, Kim will be the most hated cast member. But commenting on tonight's episode, Kenya made me proud. Ooo! She dragged Kim with such ease. Kim was shown to be a liar yet again. Of course, dumb Sheree perpetuates the lie too much like she did in s4 with African baby-gate, which got her ass fired. I shed tears over Kenya losing her grandma. That hurt my heart. While my grandma did not raise me like Kenya's, I know what it is like to be close to your grandparent, which I was with my maternal grandma. Nene feeling threatened by Kenya/Cynthia's friendship is absurd. Especially, when Kenya eagerly and openly expresses she'd like to be close to Kenya too. Nene is doing the most tonight. Stop being possessive and jealous and patch up your relationship with Kenya. Nene and Kenya used to be extremely close. Fix that relationship as Kenya is at least open to it unlike Porsha.

Truer words have never been spoken. Thank God Mariah is gonna save us all next week. I think that all these marriages being on the rocks is karma seeing how they treated Lisa last year.

Might work in their favor though. The original Dynasty copied things from Dallas and it worked for them. Might as well try it again and see if if magic strikes twice.

Eww. Hasn't David been though enough? Oh and I forgot how she handled the Alicia story. That story still p*sses me off b/c Lachlan is still walking around the village free long after what he did.

Thank God Queen Mariah is back next week. This show is dry and stale without her!

^ I haven't enjoyed Corrie in years. KO's Corrie is garbage. IDK but I enjoyed her on Emmerdale. While she did thrive on shock value, misery, and unpleasantness, I did think that she at least had the characters down pact. I don't feel that she has a grasp on Corrie's characters at all. EE is dreadful all around. I feel like it is gonna take a miracle to fix that show. They need to fire a lot of people and create a bunch of new, dynamic characters to recapture the magic that was once there. ED holds a place near and dear with my heart and like @DRW50, I only keep up with the show b/c of the characters. It is somewhat in a slump as of late. I hope things pick up come Xmas time. I tried with HO but I can't. Even with my sexy Duncan James on the show, I can't get into it. Too much Ste for me.

Sneak peek of Nene v. Porsha:

I'm guessing that they didn't wanna put Danielle on the same sofa with Siggy/Delores b/c I was certain the seating chart was gonna be: Margaret-MeHo-Felonresa-ANDY-Dolores-Soggy-Danielle RHOBH sneak peek and intro card:

Me right about now after hearing all this great news:

I fixed that for you. Elizabeth did not take criticism well all the time.

Might as well recast or get rid of the Grimshaw clan altogether.

Which sucks b/c he is a very talented actor. I hate how he allowed his inner demons to take control and do heinous acts towards innocent women.

I'm glad he didn't say something like that b/c the little bit posted seems like he was alluding that playing a gay character stressed and affected his life as if women aren't intelligent enough to distinguish when actors play gay males, yet they are straight.

I couldn't take Meghan today when she implied (in so many words) that she was being bullied on the show b/c of her views. I'm sorry but she is experiencing nothing compared to what Elizabeth (who I loathed) used to experience. Hell, even Jed (who I enjoyed even though I didn't care for her views) got more heat from the women than Meghan is getting. If you can't handle the heat, get out the kitchen. Take your a** back to Faux News and plead with them to give you a show. Her issue is that she wants everyone to kiss her a** and Sunny, Joy, or Sara won't do it. Whoopi cowers to her, but the other women won't. I'm beginning to wonder if Meghan being cast (along with Jed being released) was Whoopi's doing. Meghan brings the energy down on this show with her stank attitude and always being combative. I too hope that a press release put out soon with her leaving the show. Either bring back Jed or offer a position to Ana [Navarro], who meshed so well with the cast last week when she sat in for Meghan.

I'm sorry but no. Bruno needs to stop spouting that bulls-it as that's not an excuse for him doing what he did. For one, if he didn't wanna play Todd, he should've stepped down from Corrie his original run when the character came out. He also shouldn't've returned these past few years if he claims this was hurting his love life. Bruno saying this is insulting and disgusting and further show what a vile piece of trash he really is.

I think things will start heating up with this upcoming episode.

^ I'm thinking what saved Porsha this season was she started to integrate back into the group more after these upcoming episodes in San Francisco. Apparently, this is the portion of the season where all the women come together and question Kenya's marriage, so Porsha isn't in the hot seat as much. Also, Porsha clashes in San Francisco and rumor is Sheree was on Porsha's side. I think Porsha filming a lot with Sheree and Kim is what saved her from being a 'friend.'

Karma is all I have to say. How he treated Ann Curry all those years ago was gross, so karma!

I've always felt Jackie was a bitch, so this is nothing new to me.

I'll get around to seeing what it is like during some free time. Probably will binge watching sometime during the Xmas break. Speaking of international housewives, I hope they bring back my Auckland housewives. They truly deserve a second season.

I thought the intro was hot. Their color scheme is jacked up and the clothes are ill-fitting, but I think it's a nice intro. I agree that Gina and Janet have great taglines. They always do. Lydia and Venus have a solid taglines too. Jackie's tagline is trash. Gamble and Sally's taglines are cliche. Lauren, much like Seema/Stacey, was MIA too much for me. I think Lauren needs a break from the show b/c she has not been bringing. Not like I'm used too. Watching reunion I forgot she was even on the show b/c she wasn't there. You liked Toronto? Most people I've heard talk about the show said it was trash and boring.

I'd drop Lauren at this point too. Lauren hasn't really be relevant since about s3. Only reason I'd keep Seema/Stacey (if Magali and Ampika were brought back) is for Dawn. Like her or not (and I can't stand her), the girl needs allies. But I'd also put Seema/Stacey on notice. Those 2 film the least and add the least to the group. Seema stepped it up with her rivalry with Ester, but she still was MIA. Dare I say it, I'd even consider wooing Misse back, and y'all know I hate that b-tch. This season was meh to me. They seriously need to recapture the magic the show had the first 2-3 seasons. @Cheap21 @DaytimeFan @Cat, Melbourne's new opening and taglines have been released. I actually like the new intro. Glad they updated it and gave the women a full body shot like NY, Potomac, Sydney, and ATL (well their poor attempt).

@DaytimeFan, right!!! That reunion was edited weird or something. The whole thing was off. I don't believe Shannon v. Vicki is over either. Shannon knows that in the back of her mind if Tamra/Vicki truly gets cool again that she's out to the pasture. I'm just glad this season is over. I'm hoping BH isn't dreadful like OC was. I hope we get at least one West coast season that is good. Last year, OC was great and BH was horrid. Praying it is vice versa and BH knocks it out the park. 2 bad seasons on the same coast is gonna make me assume something is wrong with production and they need to booted. I already feel ATL needs to clean house production-wise and we haven't even reached episode 10 yet.
