I never got why people want Jay/Ben together. I love their bromance as it shows that gay and straight men can be close friends w/o there being any sexual tension or ties to one another. It is obvious that Ben will most likely be tossed into Johnny's orbit as he's the only gay man left on the Square. I can only see Johnny being put with one other person and that is Steven, who is rumored to be returning too, and that's if he stays for a stint.

RHOC premiere date has been revealed:

^ I do too. Kate Oates did not utilize Carly to her full potential when I have enjoyed the character since her return. I wish they would've went ahead and paired Ross with Carly but of course, he has to be for St. Debbie.

I am excited too even though it is gonna be hard for me to accept some of the changes they've made, and not sticking to the canon on certain things. Glad to see Josie & the Pussycats on the show even though they didn't cast the Cabots (Alexander and Alexandra) or Alan. I am hoping they are at least mentioned or have cameos along with other characters like Midge, Nancy, Chuck, and Ethel.

So agree. This 'bad seed' storyline has practically decimated Ian and Kathy to nothingness. Jane ... I could care less about her.

^ All of this. Can I also add that I am so glad that everyone on various other forums and social media have brought up what I've been saying for days--why are the Carters (minus Shirley) involved in this story?!

There WILL be a RHOCheshire reunion this year: http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/real-housewives/news/a794658/brian-dowling-host-real-housewives-of-cheshire-reunion/ I wish they'd pull a fast one on the women and invite Magali as a surprise guest.

@Cheap21 I saw the interview when it originally aired and I don't know how Tiffany does it. I would not communicate with my mom if she acted like Sister Patterson.

You're welcome, @Cat! Sorry I forgot to tag you, yesterday. I had so much on my mind and was anxious to watch it myself before it disappeared.

I agree, but at least Pam St. Clement can be proud that she got a better written exit than Peggy has.

Of course he wouldn't respond b/c he knows you're telling he truth. I thought Peggy's first couple of episodes were strong. Peggy's death episode dreadful. Out this short arc, I enjoyed the scenes when Phil took her down the Thames River, when they went back to their old flat, & Pat popping up. All those scenes were touching. I felt like none of Peggy's history was utilized at all. Nor Grant, Sharon, or Phil's. We saw more of Stacey/Martin toilet-gate and the Carters than we did the Mitchells. I didn't care about any other story but Peggy's the other day.

RHOMelbourne: Wow. Just wow. IMO, this reunion is up there with RHOA s4 & RHONY s3. Just hilarious and classic. Gina: You just had to know that this was Gina's favorite reunion b/c for once she got to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. For once, she wasn't in the hot seat. I do side with Gina in the Gamble situation, but Gina should've just apologized (convincingly) even if she didn't mean it. She did come off as a bit of a twat blowing Gamble off. However, Gina using this platform correctly should be commended, and I think that's where a lot of the women's hatred come from. It was good to see her at the reunion get along with everyone. Oh and she needs to stop blaming editing. I think she finally grasped that at the end though. Suzie: I know many didn't like Suzie but I enjoyed her ass. Yeah, she wasn't as present as many would've liked but she played an pivotal role this reason. She gave us all insight as to who Lydia truly is. I gagged when she dropped that nugget that Joanna used to work for her before Lydia. Even though Suzie didn't wanna say Lydia poached her, it is obvious Lydia most likely did. It was funny too when Gamble called Suzie out on her spreading the Shane Warne gossip when Suzie 'forgot' she did so. I think Suzie will come out more in her second season. Gamble: I still like Gamble but she did annoy me at the reunion. She did try and play the 'wounded pigeon' role this season, and I was happy Gina called her on it. Gamble really made something small into something major. She did score MAJOR points with me when she called the 'trinity' (Jackie/Janet/Chyka) out on them all having a pact and traditionally being unison, which impacts the entire group. Chyka: Her body language just showed she was over this group and over all these women. Chyka was here for nobody, not even her good mates, Jackie and Janet. She will be missed. Pettifleur: Oh, Pettifleur! She was the gift that kept on giving this reunion. She may be vile at times, but the b-tch was hilarious. That pillow exchange between her and Janet had me rolling. I also enjoyed her calling Jackie out on her sh-t too. Jackie is just as messy as those she stays accusing. I don't believe that Pettifleur had work done either. I think the other women are pissed that Pettifleur is snatch from head to toe. She was the best dressed at the reunion (IMO). Her body is banging. Plus, some people do lose weight in their face after making lifestyle changes. Janet: Janet can p-ss me of at times but I find her funny at times. Even though it was funny, her calling Lydia "a dumb, fat b*tch" was low. It didn't do Janet any justice, and I think she came undone at the reunion. Since season 1, she always called Gina out for being malicious, but got right down there in the gutter tonight as well. I think a lot of her actions may come back and bite her down the road. Did you all also catch how Janet was not pleased that Chyka said she have forgiven Lydia? Mmmm.... Jackie: Much like Jackie, she became undone tonight. She was another that stayed on Gina's ass the past two season about her being mean when she acted no better this entire season and at the reunion. Her tears did nothing for me. Jackie 'cried' because her ass was caught; she had to backtrack. She saw the commentary of Gina and Chyka and realized she was a big ass hypocrite too, and no one was checking for that ass. I don't believe Jackie when she said she's never gossip before. She's lying. She stayed gossiping about Gina in season 1, and last season she stayed gossiping about Pettifleur and Gamble too. Cut the bullsh*t. Lydia: Yet again, Lydia slithered out of her punishment. Yeah, the women know what she is capable of now but she didn't get punished enough. Glad that Gamble called Lydia out for being 'casually racist' because she is. Good ending to a great season. This season surpassed all the American franchises of Housewives with less episodes and more drama. I LOVE Alex Perry hosting the reunion b/c he doesn't get involved and he calls all the women on their sh*t. If Bravo were smart, they'd give Melbourne another run b/c this season blows all the other shows out the water.

@DaytimeFan @Cheap21 Found a link for the Melbourne reunion:

That line describes DTC's entire time at EE. I've said on here before that it feels like someone on that staff has been watching American soaps and not the good years. So many stories EE has told recently had the stench of American soaps--the last ten years.

The issue with Olivia is that they lost the importance of the character around 06. Olivia worked best (IMO) as the town vixen/minx and in a power position. I felt once they took her out the Spauldings & Lewises orbits and slapped her in the orbit with basic Coopers, she became worthless. Olivia was glamorous and worldly to me. She should've never engaged in anything with Buzz or Frank.

True. However, I wouldn't buy India being a lesbian either as she was such a man-eater at the height of her days too. Honestly, (and I've said this before) but I hate insta-gay stories on TV. As a gay man, I typically find them to be poorly done as they choose characters I'd never believe to be gay. I could never believe Olivia being gay (like I said before) because she loved d-ck too much. Her first couple of years on the show, Olivia was f-cking every man with a pulse. Bisexual would've been fine. Full blown gay? Nope. Same with the rumors of them entertaining in the early 00s of making Holly gay. I wouldn't've believed it. I know that some people have their 'awakenings' later in life, but I just wouldn't believe it with many of the characters they chose.

^ I agree. DTC and Santer are good at hyping up shows, but rarely do they deliver. I agree with all the points you made, but I gotta add a few moments I didn't care for either: - Peggy 'passing' the torch to Linda. I just didn't care for that scene. I feel like DTC (before leaving) is doing his best to ensure Linda is the next Angie or Peggy--that legendary landlady when I don't see it. Much like Stacey's scene with Peggy yesterday, it felt like DTC was slapping yet another irrelevant character in Peggy's exit. I don't care about Peggy passing on the torch with Linda. She had no ties to her. As I've said previously, I wanted to see Peggy be surrounded by people she loved and hated. People she had relationships, history with. Her scene with Sharon was practically a throwaway scene (to me). We should've gotten more with Sharon and Peggy. More of Peggy with her grandkids too. - Mick and Grant sizing each other up. So cheesy and stupid. I felt like that short scene was tossed in there so that DTC could have yet another wet dream. His creation (Mick) facing off with the legendary Grant. A macho fantasy. I'm sure Dyer wanted this too. Honestly, I didn't give a damn about the Carters this week. Shirley was the only one I didn't mind (for once) being involved as she did have history with Peggy. Overall, I just hate how Peggy was isolated. Her scenes with Pat saved the episode for me. I thought her suicide scenes were done beautifully (if that's even possible), but so much occurred in the episode that I couldn't enjoy it or be moved by it.

I said it before and I'll say it again ... I never bought the Otalia pairing. I never bought Olivia, who LIVED for penis, all of a sudden to be a full blown lesbian. Bisexual? I could've bought it. Plus, I never found Otalia to be this great romance. They bored me for the last year. Jill Lorie Hurst did great things the last year but Otalia was NOT one of them. I hate how people find this pairing to be revolutionary when it wasn't. The most they did was hold hands and pet each other on the regular.

How did you all feel about Peggy's exit tonight? It was cute that they brought back Pat to lead her into the afterlife. I personally found the rest of the episode to be rather disappointing.

@DRW50: I thought the Stacey/Peggy scenes were clunky too. I really didn't need Peggy giving Stacey advice to marry Martin. It just made no sense. I feel like they just threw in a scene with Stacey/Peggy to latch Stacey on to the hot story. Again, I would've preferred seeing Peggy and Sharon clash then hash out their difference. I feel like this is a major beat that should've been played. I am with you on how they are just not bringing Louise and Ben into the fold. This would've been the perfect story to make the audience somewhat care for Louise and they have squandered it. Her crying when Peggy pass won't do it. Not for me at least. re: Danniella, I knew that but if the rumors of her being unprofessional are true, I think it'll cut off any chance of her returning in the future.

Not surprised if true. Bet they wish they would've brought back Kim Medcalf. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/danniella-westbrook-axed-eastenders-after-7979008

RHOCheshire s3e7: Ampika: I was moved by her honesty this episode. I understand why Ampika has a wall up with these group of women b/c they are judgmental and don't try and understand her. I do think the only two she's been able let her guard with are Magali and Lauren. She can't really do so with Lauren b/c she is occupied with her own issues. Magali really needs to come back and be here for Ampika. Misse: Yup. This bitch is thisclose to surpassing Dawn in the dislike department on this show. She was an utter judgmental cow on tonight's episode. It all makes total sense b/c she's so insecure that she'll lose her man to another woman. It ain't gonna be Ampika. Plz get rid of Misse. Stacey: Meddlesome, but it makes total sense as to why. Her saying her husband works all the time highlighted why she is always up in other's Koolaid. I wouldn't be surprised if her man is fooling around on her. Leanne: Again, I am gradually growing to like her this season now that she isn't an extension of Dawn. I do appreciate that she was the only one defending and understanding Ampika. Seema: I still like Seema, but she was a bit of a twat tonight. Her redeeming quality was that she was sympathetic to Ampika. I do think she likes Ampika but doesn't know how to take her. Dawn: Meh... I grew tired of her whining over the Paris trip. It ain't that damn serious, and nobody is trying to take Leanne from you. If anything, Leanne is trying to run far away from you now that your common enemy (Magali) is off the show. Lauren: Good to see her find some joy and fun while going through hard times. Lauren is a trooper. She always keeps her head up and stays optimistic. Glad she is not making a big deal out the Paris trip. If you've been there, you've done that. Tanya: Was she even on tonight?

@DaytimeFan, I've been trying to find a link to post but I've been unsuccessful. I am sure one will pop up early in the morning. However... Real Housewives of Sydney is official:

Episodes like this makes me miss the Hughes family. Nancy reminded me so much of my own grandmother and how strong she was when my grandfather passed. She just knew she had to hold together for the family.

Well they should've kept the two this way going years forward. I don't mind MB's Lily during this time b/c she was at least a brat but not as preachy as she'd later become. When it comes to Holden, there are no complaints from me about him in the episodes I am watching as of late. I like him being lustful and raunch and I am questioning why Lily didn't jump his bones sooner. Especially, when he was on that bed shirtless, stroking that cat. I (personally) would've gotten rid of the cat and had some alone time with Holden.
