NJ: I found the premiere to be cringeworthy. A lot of kissing a** and fakery. Siggy: Too dramatic. Too loud. Too extra (in not a good way). I don't buy this story with Siggy's hubby wanting her to stay home and not work. This woman has been doing what she's been doing for years. I doubt her schedule is nothing new, and I doubt Siggy is working that much. Do people even still buy self help books nowadays like a decade ago? Teresa: I feel like she is actually being genuine and raw for once. We're getting a glimpse of the real Tre, but it is b/c the rug (i.e. life) was pulled from underneath her with the loss of her mother. Not surprised that she is blaming Joe for the time she lost with her mother, but she needs to take responsibility for her own actions in the crime. She cannot blame Joe for everything when she was a willing participant. I do think that she is about to leave Joe FINALLY. Funny how Caroline (though I despise her too) called this years ago along with Tre would leave Joe and put a book out about it. Her book just came out yesterday and people are putting out excerpts of her speaking ill of Joe. Calling it now--come reunion time, Tre is gonna file for divorce. That'll generate enough press attention for Bravo to renew this show in case ratings don't do good and to buy the show another season. Margaret: She's OK. She's looks f-cking stupid with those pigtails though. Who is she trying to channel? Cindy Brady? I did appreciate her calling Siggy out at the end over being wound up about that freaking cake. Danielle: My bish! However, I do not believe this treaty with her and Tre. It comes off forced, and Tre has done too much for me to believe anything. I need to see Tre apologize profusely to Danielle for me to believe it. Honestly, I feel like Tre only made up with Danielle to save this show, which is sinking, and to have a possible ally had Jaq returned this year. Delores: Besides Danielle, she the only one on the cast I like. Delores is sensible and earnest. I just don't care about her ex moving back in, which I find to be farce too. Obvious, she too needed a story and her ex is helping provide it. This is giving me RHOA teas a la Sheree/Bob last year. Clearly, Delores' ex is helping ensure she keeps her position on the show. I am interested to see the tension between she and Tre though. MeHo: Ugh! If there was ever a more forced human being on this Earth, MeHo is it. Her relationship with Tre is forced. You could see all throughout the episode that these two still have venom and hatred between them. Especially, when Tre brought up snitching on MeHo about dancing with a man at her bachelor's party. Her relationship with Danielle is forced too. Obvious that MeHo is kissing Danielle's a** b/c Danielle has the goods on Melissa. Melissa was telling Danielle all of Tre's dirt those first 2 seasons of the show, and Melissa fears Danielle will blow the whistle on her. She can kiss Danielle's ass all she wants, but she best believe that the second Danielle needs to stir the pot, she'll toss MeHo to the wolves and snitch. Overall, this show is the Titanic. I just found everything to be stupid and forced. The magic that this show had the first 4 seasons is long gone. Dare I say it, but I wish Jaq & Caroline were swayed back this year. I would've at least gotten juicy drama with the original 4 (Jaq/Caroline/Tre/Danielle) at each other's throats and watching the other 4 (Siggy/Delores/Margaret/MeHo) having to dig their way through it. Unless this season pops, I say stick a fork in it and move on to a new city. Preferably Chicago, Seattle, New Orleans, go back to DC...somewhere! Looks like Nene & Kim are back at it again...

Episode featuring Lea Salonga's Lien.

I do fear that poor Jay is the next to go too. It is obvious Max is on limited time via the writing. I've been ready for Jane's ass to meet her maker since she threw Lucy's body out like trash. Writing Ben out at this point is the best thing to do IMO. No writer seems to write anything about him except for coming to Phil's aid. Ben has not had a personal life since Paul died, and even their love story was cut short b/c they wanted him with Abi. Besides those 3 you mentioned, you see anyone else being cut?

OK. I don't know what is in the Housewives water as of late, but they are all acting out of late. Secret text msgs that ends Vicki/Tamra's friendship has been leaked!!! Looks like someone else has been faking cancer and it ain't Vicki...

Dallas: Dallas is truly killing it. Much like Potomac, they put in work to ensure they would be renewed for a 3rd season. I'm sorry but I LOVE Kameron. She gives me everything I need. She's the snobbish, aloof, Southern belle that you used love to hate on soaps. However, I love her. She gives me such joy with her stiff upper lip and high brow attitude to everything. I also enjoyed that her presence alone unnerves Brandi, and she took Brandi and Stephanie down a peg without breaking a sweat. Kameron v. Brandi is everything that is missing in soaps right now. Old money v. nouveau riche. High-class v. low-class. Chanel v. Walmart. I just gag watching these two clash over their class statuses. This is what I want when I watch Housewives. I want rich broads fighting over class standing and such. Still on Brandi, she is such a snake though. If these women didn't see that tonight, they are clueless. She has her hand in all the pots. I keep saying it but it needs to be said--Brandi is gonna get dragged come reunion time. She is doing too much this season. Stephanie can't even save her a** if she tried. I found it tasteless when the women spoke on Rich's penis size. It was ironic Cary brought it up seeing as she cried all last year about Leeanne speaking ill-will on Mark. Now she goes and commits the same sin. She can no longer take the high moral ground with Leeanne. She's just as bad. Leeanne also made a valid point about this too that Steph/Brandi/Cary can get away with murder, but when she acts out, she gets called to the carpet and is expected to apologize. I hope Leeanne brings this up at the reunion. D'Andra is a jewel. I find her a joy to watch. I was touched with the scene with her and Leeanne. I genuinely believe they are true friends off this show. Loved how D'Andra expressed joy for Leeanne's engagement and how the two are so similar in life. I didn't think anyone could reign Leeanne in like Tiffany could but D'Andra has proven otherwise. I am excited to see the climax of Cary v. Leeanne again next week. OC: I agree with @DaytimeFan that it was boring. The episode was all about Doug's nuts and Peggy's cancer. I found both to be appalling. David asking Diko about Peggy's diagnosis was not genuine, and I am glad Peggy got livid over it. It is obvious that Shannon and David are in cahoots. They'd rather Peggy be the scapegoat with her cancer over their crumbling marriage & transgressions being exposed to the world. I find the entire scene to be disgusting. I don't care about Doug's nuts at all. Get a vasectomy and move on. Having a party over it was so stupid. Vicki & Tamrat meeting up annoys me too. Either play nice or one of you b-tches gotta go after this season (preferably TamRat). Vicki did make a valid point that TamRat would've long forgiven her had Shannut not been the interloper.

Also, Porsha can NEVER bring up the scepter incident again seeing as the article stated that Porsha pointed something in Marlo's face, Marlo snatched it away, thus leading to Porsha lunging at Marlo.

I don't know but I am scared. Honestly, I need these next 4 weeks to be peaceful with ATL. Like damn. They are acting up too much. But you know Nene has to be cheesing over the fact that Kenya and Porsha have been removed from the show somewhat.

Word is that Porsha was booted from the Barcelona trip for trying to attack Marlo. https://www.lovebscott.com/news/rhoa-exclusive-porsha-williams-booted-from-the-real-housewives-of-atlanta-group-trip-after-she-tried-to-attack-marlo-hampton

Harry Reid is out. Personally, I think it is time to retire Ben for the foreseeable future. None of the writers seem to want to give him stories exploring his sexuality, and I'm over him being Phil's protector/clean up man. Just retire him.

Can she f-cking end the marriage to David already? So damn draining. Ugh.

That too. But Kim's show being in a death slot (on Friday nights) is not gonna help either. That's why they move M2M back to Fridays to assist Kim's show and hopefully help her get over a million viewers. I doubt it'll happen though. Most people that watch M2M have said they'll watch M2M and not watch Kim's show. Tardy for the Party is dead. Bravo needs to move the f-ck on and stop trying to make Kim "fetch." Either strong arm her into going back to RHOA full-time, or get rid of her. I'm for the latter of course.

Of course the show is her (and Kroy) cash cow. I've been said the primary reason Kim came back to RHOA was b/c she wanted raise and couldn't get it with a 30 minute show and no ad dollars being bought. How would she generate more ad dollars? More viewers. How would she get them? Return back to the A show (RHOA), fight with Kenya (the primary villain), and hopefully drag new viewers back to her spinoff. I don't see it working for her at all b/c people still remember Kim declaring time and time again that she was above show and these women. Reality TV show fans are too privy to the antics now to fall for Kim's stunt. I feel like building a season partially on Kim's return might be to the detriment of RHOA. Might p*ss enough people off to be over the main show. I feel like Bravo is playing a dangerous game right now.

Go on Twitter & IG and fans are already over Kim and the show hasn't aired yet. Even fans that typically loathe Kenya, have sided with her out of their disdain for Kim.

@Cat @alwaysAMC @Antoyne Fixed it. I had originally screen capped it instead of copying and pasting the Us weekly article, but I went ahead and just did the usual. Sorry about that.

Speculation is swirling that Kenya Moore quit The Real Housewives of Atlanta after she failed to join the rest of the cast on a trip to Barcelona, Spain. The Biggest ‘Real Housewives’ Fights Ever: A Definitive Ranking According to gossip website Tamara Tattles, the problems began when the other housewives reportedly lobbied producers for Kim Zolciak to be included on their Spanish sojourn and requested that Moore, 46, be left behind. That appeared to be what was happening until Zolciak posted a note on Instagram on Wednesday, September 27, saying that she wasn’t going on the trip. “WAS packing to leave the country then had a choice AND I decided,” she wrote. “I’ll be headed out for #DontBeTardy press instead! Season 6 premieres October 6th 8pm on @Bravotv #WhenYourOWNShowCalls… #SomeNeedToJustGiveItUp #ArentYouTired #Season6 #IAlwaysHaveAChoice.” But after Zolciak, 39, ducked out, Moore didn’t join the crew — instead, as Us exclusively revealed on Friday, September 29, actress and model Eva Marcille was announced as a new member of the RHOA cast for season 10 and she flew out to join NeNe Leakes and company in Europe. That leaves newlywed Moore at home, but a production source tells Us Weekly exclusively that "Kenya has not quit the show, nor has she been fired." The former Miss USA has been targeted by Zolciak this year, with the mother of six claiming that Moore’s June wedding to Marc Daly was a sham. Her marriage is said to be part of the issue with producers who want Daly to appear on the show. "Her husband is a former investment banker who has never sought the spotlight," the source says. "However, he wants to support his new bride and her career ... apparently not fast enough." “Kenya was pulled from the cast trip last-minute and Bravo may be playing a bit of hardball to get Kenya's new husband on the show by limiting her on-air appearances,” the source tells Us. "Kenya is a newlywed and has to respect her new husband's wishes to not be part of the show." The source added that the backstage drama is taking a toll on the reality star: "Kenya has been trying to have a baby and the stress has caused her unnecessary emotional distress." Moore seemed to address the rumors with an Instagram photo on Saturday, September 30, that showed her calmly looking off into the distance with the words, “A Sitting Queen never quits and cannot be removed from her throne.” http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/did-kenya-moore-quit-real-housewives-of-atlanta-w506511

Thank you! Let me go back and read up on this thread.

And it worked b/c Sonja had history with Ramona. Eva does not have history with this group. Cramming her down our throats isn't gonna work. Shamea & Marlo do have history with the group, but they should've just made them full-time from jump. These wide gaps of using them and then not is gonna come off so jarring. Seriously though, Bravo needs to make it mandatory that all their shows cast people from jump. If they don't work then oh well. Fire their a** and cast again next season. All these pop-up players hurt the show just like this method has hurt Love & Hip Hop.

*gasps* Can I see these scripts if you don't mind?

Well damn. Are there any episodes of this show that are available? Wasn't this the show that was on HBO or Showtime?

They aren't as bad. Trust me. EE can p*ss me off at times, but at least they can afford to have tons of sets and do locales every now and then. Days is painful for me to watch with the 5 sets they have.

I totally forgot about Royce DID story. Seeing as you pointed it out, it was like Marland got to finally tell the stories he wanted to tell on ATWT, which was his greatest work of art. Sad ABC wouldn't allow him to tell the story he wanted to tell with Lily Slater either when he co-created Loving.
