Given how Andy grilled Vicki on WWHL this past Monday, I could actually see Andy trying to crop Vicki out the frame as a way to start fresh on the OC and continue to go forward with Tamra, Kelly, Shannon, and Meghan. It is obvious adores Tamra, so anyone tied to her is gonna be safe. It's also obvious too that Peggy and Lydia are done for unless they pull something out of their hats at the reunion that'll force Bravo to bring them back. But I agree with the most (and have been for a LONG time) that Shannon needs to go. In a previous post, I said she is a succubus; she sucks the energy out of everyone, and she is the one preventing any growth in the group. I do agree with @Chris B is that the only way Shannon would be viable is if she finally left David AND got professional help afterwards.

@Cat your description of Dallas might be the reason why I am so drawn to the show this season. It is somewhat of a nod to old school soaps. It is somewhat of the soapy show out of all the cities and I love it.

Trump is truly a monster. He's just nasty and vile to the point of no return. Trump is gonna bust Hell wide open when he arrives.

Yes! They know that Vicki was contractually obligated to go on the trip. It was so stupid for them to react like that, but that's why I hate that Bravo still makes them keep this facade they arrange these trips. All the fans know it is production at this point. And all my speculations seem to be panning out. Tamra is growing tired of Shannon, and next week we see her gravitate back towards Vicki. Tamra knows she wants to reconcile with Vicki, and she wants Heather back. Tamra wants the band back together, and Shannon isn't part of it. I am team Peggy too. I loved how she shut all the women down at that table, but I understood her breaking down after dealing with Shannon. That woman is draining. She is a true succubus. She sucks the energy from all those around her. I couldn't deal with her. Production needs to seriously give her the boot. Shannon dwells on sh-t for too long and prevents any progression in the group. We're still stuck on drama from 2 seasons ago b/c Shannon refuses to let anything go, thus causing everyone else to be stuck in that vortex with her. Whether it is her marriage with David or her feud with Vicki, the woman is stuck.

I see her coming back for 2 reason: 1. Her marriage really crumbles and she'll totally play victim while continuing to lie or 2. She and Mark stay together, and Mark (like Terry on OC) will push her to remain on the show b/c it does well for him business-wise. I don't see Cary going anywhere unless Bravo gets rid of her, and they'd be stupid if they did. Like Potomac this past season, the chemistry with Dallas is too good to mess with. If they must make any casting choices, it needs to be about adding a new housewife or 2, not taking away. This group has "IT," and they need to ride with it for awhile.

Dallas was on fire tonight! It boggles my mind how this show has not landed the 1million mark in ratings compared to NJ and OC, which I find both to be painfully boring at this point. The line of the night has to go to Kameron. When she uttered, "This is why you have plastic," after questioning why Brandi was so cheap to not have glasses at her party, had me rolling. That line alone earned Kameron another season if they get a season 3, which they better! I was proud of D'Andra apologizing to Keaton. But I always felt that she was coming from a good place when she went off on him that one time. I am glad that they made amends. That aside, I do find her hubby, Jeremy, to be so damn hot. Leeanne breaking the glass on the floor was so dramatic but funny. Leeanne knows how to perfectly straddle the line of crazy without going over it and making me dislike her. While she can be crude at times, she has a good and honest side to her. Speaking of Leeanne, she was also vindicated tonight too. Brandi shockingly verified that Cary went from nanny, to mistress, to wife. This is some soap opera sh-t in true form. Move over, Dixie Cooney! Cary Deuber is in town now. My mouth just dropped over that whole scene. It was so juicy. This is how you unveil a housewife secret! Dallas >>> OC & NJ. Bravo would be stupid to not keep Dallas. I feel like they need to keep working on this show b/c it has the magic (like Potomac) to explode into something big when the elder shows (OC, NJ, ATL) start to wane.

Ooop! Peggy shot Meghan and Shannon's asses down effortlessly.

Uh oh. Sneak peek of tonight. It's going down.

Take with a grain of salt but some RHOP alleged tea:

Take with a grain of salt, but this housewife fan states Erika and Rinna get into it in Berlin:

Blazed through the first 3 of the '82 episodes, and I was entertained throughout. Just further highlights why I'd be all for the Brooks/Prentiss/Foster clans to return via Brooks, Chucky, and Jennifer. I thought the scenes with Brooks, Leslie, and Lance were adorable. Yes, the child actor did carry those scenes, but I didn't find them to be a pain to watch. I was just wondering did Brooks ever learn that Leslie and Lance were his parents before he was ushered off? Also, did he remain with Leslie onwards or did Lorie eventually reclaim him? The scenes with Nikki and the woman in the hospital were heart wrenching. You have one woman aching to have a child while Nikki is trying to get rid of one. While I can't stand Nikki nowadays, I can see why she became popular with fans early on. It is refreshing to see her in other people's orbits and not just Victor or Jack's. Sad to know that this vibrant, lively Nikki would amount to nothing nowadays. Ashley/Jack scenes were great to watch too. At least we knew right then and there that Jack's motivation for not wanting Jill in the family was because he feared his potential fortune might be left to Jill. Wasn't he right in a sense? Didn't Jill a few years later (after their affair) gain a portion of Jabot? I've always wondered (as I don't keep up with what proxies and percentage the characters hold) does Jill still hold stake in Jabot now? Bill Bell was very progressive in his writing for its time. From the janitor trying to fondle the catatonic woman and uttering suggestive lines to Kay telling Nikki it was her body and can have an abortion if she wanted--it does seem risqué for its time. Sadly, soaps have regressed and they are all cheesy and PG nowadays. I miss meddlesome Mary too. I hate how the character was written off and killed offscreen. I know Carolyn Conwell passed, but I always felt they could've recast Mary with Michael Learned who subbed for Jeanne Cooper that one time. Mary was so needed all these times Paul and his numerous kids came in and out the canvas. I would die to have Mary wag her finger at Paul or Christine one last time, or to have chewed out Nikki around the time she was back with Paul. Frank Lewis was Amy father, right? Did he stick around for the later half of the 80s or was he written off with no explanation?

OMG! Thank you @YRfan23 & @ltm1997 for these episodes from '82. Oh I am gonna have a good night watching all of these classic episodes!

Hmm. Makes me think now was Ross just gonna pop back up and talk to Blake, or was he also gonna have a visit to Phillip too? Also, could he have been the one to guide Alan to the other side?

Was it going to be a ghostly Ross visit, or was JLH going to undo Ross' death?

Manafort had a $60 million relationship with a Russian oligarch.

@Mitch that's something I've always wondered too? I enjoyed the Coopers in the early 90s when it was just Harley, Frank, and Nadine, but grew to loathe them mid-90s onwards. They were featured too much and stayed taking stories from others. By the end, Frank and Coop were the only Coopers I liked. I grew to hate Harley too b/c of the rumors of Ehlers pushing hard for Harley/Gus at all times. I'm wondering if TPTB were trying to ensure Justin Deas remained on the show, hence why they made the Coopers the central family down the road, but I did not like it one bit. They should've just brought back Michelle, Ed, Holly, and Danny (yes I said it), and slapped all of them in the Bauer home and re-centered the show around them. @kalbir to answer your msg, I'm still watching it some, but I've been bouncing around watching a lot of old ATWT and AW lately too.

Jeff and his crew hate Heather b/c apparently Shannon or a mutual friend of their's was throwing a party. Heather was acting like a twat to the help, and Jeff and his crew were disgusted by her behavior. Just Heather being Heather--haughty, cold, and thinking she can walk on water.

I think if Heather comes back, which I wouldn't be surprised about, Shannon would be ditched. Heather has to be seething over the fact that anytime Jeff and his crew are on WWHL, they slander her even more. The fact that Shannon has not spoken out against it speaks volumes, and you all know that Heather has internalized this. If Heather comes back, I see her targeting Shannon again and Tamra complying. I just do not believe that Tamra/Shannon are close. Yes, they are allies against Vicki (for the moment), but we've all seen how Tamra will flip on someone in a second. She did to Gretchen. She did it to Vicki. Shannon is not the exception. It'll happen to her in due time as well.

Talk about eye porn. Thank you for posting this. Boggles my mind how Ridge (of all people) is scolding Kristen for not giving a f-ck about Eric stepping out on Stephanie.
