NothinButAttitude

I'm sorry but I hated Deirdre's farewell. I didn't feel moved at all and I just didn't feel like anyone brought their 'A' games. Everyone was flat as hell in their reactions, and the script was trash. Just full of cliches and nothingness. It just felt like another day of Corrie. It would've been more powerful had the news spread around Weatherfield like a forest fire and we saw everyone deal with the news on their own accord. We really didn't get that. And why was Michelle (Kym Marsh) hysterical?! I don't remember Michelle and Deirdre hardly interacting ever. Her reaction was so not wanted. Kate Ford was decent but I seriously expected Tracey's breakdown to be bigger. Tracey should've been destroying sh-t. Inflicting pain. Something. I expected her to blow up and scorch the earth over the loss of her mother. William Roache (Ken) didn't impress me either. His 'breakdown' at the end of the episode didn't move me. I didn't even see tears coming from his eyes. I also didn't get why Steve was the one to hold him. I think it would've been more powerful had Bev handed him Deirdre's spectacles and a nod to history, Ken would've sobbed hysterically over them like Hilda did over Stan's. I wasn't impressed....

RHONY alleged reunion tea: http://www.realitytea.com/2015/07/08/photos-major-drama-real-housewives-of-new-york-reunion-filming-goes-long-ladies-explode/#/slide/8

I enjoy Helena too from watching Quint and Nola's arc. I still don't know why she didn't last longer than she did. She had that jet set/European aura of class that was prominent on soaps in the 80s and need on GL during the Reva years.

RHONY reunion seating arrangement:

Had Miami came back another season, Joanna wouldn't've been part of it. She quit after s3. The cast would've been Lisa, Lea, Adriana, Marysol, and Alexia. IMO, I'd've hoped that they'd cast 2-3 new, messy housewives to bring the drama.

Oh wow. That's interesting. Bob and Lisa did divorce over this affair, correct? And this led to Lisa leaving Oakdale for Chicago (Our Private World), right?

Meh. I feel like Stacy is EE's answer to Y&R's Sharon. Both are bipolar. Both are trashy (even though I love Sharon). Both are destructive. Both women stay getting the same plots time and time again. How unfortunate.

I'm in the minority as I liked the Santos clan; however, I hold the same sentiment as hardcore GL fans that there should've never been a shootout in the Bauer kitchen. That was sacrilegious.

They need new shots, promos, and a remixed theme like RHONY got.

I don't think it'll be hard to find. Some people have suggested that Vivica, Omarosa, and Mariah should join the show. Those three would bring tons of drama. Plus, Vivica already hates Queen Kenya. Omarosa hates Claudia. Mariah can't stand Phaedra (if she stays).

Good news! She needed to go. She was allowing the situation to maker her more toxic. I'm wondering who is going to join Kim, Kenya, Kandi, and Cynthia at this point. I'm praying that Buick is not staying.

I can't believe that Kim is joining this ratchet show given her background. I thought she was doing well directing TV shows?

She had it during them filming the season but that had no part in her being a full cast member. Seems like production was always going to phase Mariah out regardless.

Yep. And Lizzie currently has one for RHOC. Only "friend" that's ever played a pivotal role on a housewife season and never given a profile was Marlo back in s4 of RHOA, and that says something.

I don't see Mariah being used in the same capacity as a recurring housewife. Don't forget, M2M is a whole different beast. Furthermore, Mariah doesn't even have a profile on Bravo's site. Every recurring wife that plays a pivotal role in story for that season always has a profile. I see Mariah getting a good 4-5 episodes this entire season before they toss her aside.

Has anyone post the classic clip of Don/Marlena on here?
