I agree about Goutman not bringing back fan faves and disrespecting fans in return, but the final scene was good IMO. At least they ended with a Bob, a legacy character and scion of Chris and Nancy. We got to see him come full circle and move into the next stage of life. Yes, the globe could've been better but I don't expect that much production wise when they barely had enough to pay rent for a studio space. After. Julianne was on The View the day the announcement was made and she expressed she was saddened and would love to come back.

I agree. They should've given us flashbacks and all with the Bauers. IMO, the Bauers deserved a better ending altogether. It was thrown together if you ask me. They deserved to be heavily featured in the final episodes. Hell, the last final months. Peter Simon [Ed] and Maureen Garrett [Holly] should've been brought back when the cancellation was announced and given an arc all the way till September. We should've seen Ed and Holly court one final time and put their demons to bed. Ed should've came to terms with the Maureen/Lillian affair. Holly should've had an actual farewell to Roger. Rick and Blake should've been involved in this. And I am still pissed that the final scene of the show was Josh and Reva. Um no. I love Josh and Reva but they should not have been the show's final scene. It should've been Ed & Holly. I would've preferred for the ending to have been Ed and Holly finally coming together after a long talk and some trepidation [this whole scene taking place in the Bauer kitchen]. After getting over their trepidation of pursing anything, Ed surprisingly proposes to Holly. Holly is a little wary but quickly accepts. Holly and Ed eagerly kiss then comment on the LONG road it took to them getting to this point--the people they've met, loved, and lost. Then have a cute flashback of the show's rich history. Then have Ed mention about being home back in his family's house with his kids, grandkids, and new fiancé; how he loves being back in the house where his mom his mom once cooked in; at the end of the day, if he made it inside to warmth, light, and Bert's cooking, he knew that all was well. She was the Guiding Light. In this instance, Ed would come full circle and take his place as the patriarch of his family and accept that he must do the same for his grandchildren. He must become the Guiding Light ... with Holly joining him. He extends his hand and smiles at Holly. She smiles back, takes his hand, flicks the kitchen light off, and heads upstairs. We then pan out the Bauer kitchen window to see a shot of the lighthouse and the light beam turning in the night sky. Fade to black. That should've been the ending we received. I didn't give a f*ck about Reva and Josh hopping in some crappy pickup and riding into the sunset. I was not impressed. At least ATWT gave me the spinning globe [and a nice 'swan song--' the fabulous theme from Prince of Tides] that caused me to have an emotional breakdown. Same with AW. They gave us a montage of the rich history with the picture frames of characters from over the show's 35 year history, and Rachel uttering "all's well that ends well" before heading upstairs with Carl. That sh*tty reunion. OK.... If you're satisfied. I for one was not impressed. It was thrown together and I felt bad for Peter Simon and Maureen Garrett. Two high caliber actors being brought back for a thrown together ending.

I saw that too. This can go either one way or another for me. One, solidify that Vanderpump Rules is another heavily scripted reality show now that they've hired a working actress. Or two, Vail is in desperate need of a job for real and is thirsty for TV.

Well just because she's EP doesn't mean she knows that show's history TBH. That's the problem with 99% of EPs on soaps nowadays. But again, I never got the impression that she knew the show's history. For instance, her favorite heroine--Marina. She slapped Marina in not one but TWO pairings that totally went against her history. Marina with Alan Michael, who was once believed to be her father, and Mallet, who was her godfather. Wheeler [and Kreizman] were adamant in selling these pairings despite fan protest. For me, that killed Marina as a character for me. But this is a problem that could've easily been solved had Wheeler not greenlit the story and Kreizman researched Marina, Mallet, and AM's history more. A simple trip to SC's character profiles or visiting various boards could've solved that. Furthermore, I didn't expect a Bert mention as the Bauers were nothing towards the end. Poor Rick was basically a joke by the end of the show's run, and the Coopers [along with the Shayne/Lewises & Spauldings] were the show's central family. Like they had Lillian go visit Maureen to ask for forgiveness, they could've had Ed stop by the grave at the same time to go and visit his mother [bert], Papa Bauer, Hilary, Maureen [too], Leslie, and all the other deceased Bauers.

I prefer oldies as most music post 2006 is HOT garbage. Some of my faves:

Alleged RHOMelbourne tea: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2864102/Real-Housewives-Melbourne-s-new-edition-Pettifleur-Berenger-bring-sass-quick-wit-dramatic-new-season.html New housewife, Pettifleur, supposedly has a mouth on her. I'm guessing she is the catalyst for a lot of drama this season. Gina interview is also on the page. She says she enjoyed this season more. She alludes somewhat that she might have a tiff with both new women.

I didn't expect a Bert mention because it was alleged that Wheeler was in the writer's room dictating the final weeks, so I wasn't shocked. She came off as not knowing the show's canon, so I'd be surprised if she knew who Bert Bauer was.

Queen Chyka and Queen Gina! Can't wait to meet Gamble and Pettifleur. I hope they bring good energy to the show. The rest of them old broads, I am not checkin' for. Especially Lydia and Jackie.

OK. If you say so.... Hammer on the nail. Kim will never care for her RHOA cast mates. She never has. They were all a means to an end. Kim rode their backs till she got her spinoff. Yes, Kim brought it s1-3, but s4 & 5, she didn't do sh*t. But she gets the spinoff. She further solidified she does not give a f*ck about any of them [especially Nene] when during the s4 reunion in an exchange with Nene and her final scene with the ladies in s5 [when she quit], she on the sly said "you people." Kim had got her "white knight" and babies and she could no longer care about the "negroes" she left behind. She expressed that same feeling tonight on WWHL. She came off cold, aloof the whole time. Kim didn't want to do a reunion with Nene. Hell, she seemed like she didn't want to be on the same stage with her. If it wasn't Andy, Kim wasn't giving a flying f*ck. I do believe that Nene gives a f*ck about Kim, but Kim could care less about her. That's what partially pisses me off about Nene too. She'll hold her other female costars accountable and hostage for everything they do. She'll never forgive them, never support them, and put them down at every chance [which is what she declares they do to her all the time]. But Kim can kick her time and time again and Nene will go crawling back to Missy Ann Reynolds ... Just like Sweetie.

#TeamMoneyBags?! More like #TeamEmptyBags or #TeamBorrowedBags But thanks for the invite, boo. But I'll ride with #TeamPretty for now. But I'll extend an invite to you also if only you'd wise up and: But till you come to your sense, I'll love you from a far and drag you when you get out of line. OK?

First of all: Secondly, Queen Mimi might've had a few mishaps but she is still the ONE. OK. And don't shade Glitter. That album was da BOMB. Never Too Far, Loverboy ... don't try it. Third, Queen Kenya says she is part of history and she is. And lithium? No, boo. We're both quite sane. I can't help that: Dementia is not cute on you, hunni!

No the f*ck you didn't just shade my Queen Mimi! She still knows how to sing. She just had a bad night. Nick has been stressing her out. Y'all know Mimi can't handle stress. But she'll bounce back. And I love Queen 'Nessa but: Didn't her title get stripped? She is no longer alongside Queen Kenya, Obama, Clinton, and all the other so:

Chile, plz. Who would want to write such drivel? And Queen Mariah ain't too irrelevant she's making headline news. Queen Mariah and Queen Kenya keep all these women PRESSED.

Yes! I'd rather him return to GL instead of that stint he had on OLTL as creepy papa Ford. Especially, when he looked younger than one of his sons *coughs* Lenny Platt *coughs*

Who implied that Kenya was the "JLaw" [and I like her but she ain't all that great either but I digress] of the 90s? All I said was that she worked throughout the 90s to early 00s on black sitcoms and movies. She also has range. She did drama and comedy. And Nene's acting range is limited to what? Oh yes. Playing herself. Plus, Kenya came on [and Miss. Lawrence verified this] and said s5 that she was previously engaged to a man in TX, so.... Kenya's on the show getting a check, and she ain't going nowhere either. Even though her haters do their best to try. And boo you might claim to be the 'sophisticated' novel but I WROTE the novel. Got it? Now where's my funds?!

Thanks for the clarification, buddy! I'm just glad that in the end, Nola got the happy ending she always wanted. I do wish though that GL would've brought back Kelly and Morgan in later years. I would've liked to have seen if Morgan would cause ruckus to Josh and Reva. Or how Kelly would've felt about Nola being older and wiser. Would he wonder if Nola was the one and try and pursue her and bust up her and Quint?

1. Kandi wasn't married when they joined the show. Neither was Bethenny on NYC. And Wig-n-Cigz was humping someone hubby, so the point you made is worthless. 2. Nene said that Peter was handsome and her boyfriend. She might as well said what Kenya said. At least she was blunt. 3. The same can be said about Nene because she only had Cynthia season 3 AND 4. Furthermore, they brought Claudia on as a friend. Blame Camry for being a bore and Claudia snagging her peach. And regardless, Kenya is friends with Cynthia and Kandi so they didn't need to bring anyone on. 4. According to her 'good friend,' Kim, Nene didn't have any furniture. But that's her friend. 5. Last time I checked, Keke Palmer was headlining. Not Nene. And again, she's playing herself--an old, shriveled up curmudgeon. #NoRange 6. I did watch the reunion and Porsha didn't do sh*t. And Cynthia AND Kandi both said that they checked on Kenya but it wasn't shown. #NiceTry 7. I've let my dog out unattended in MY FENCE. Much like Kenya did. Velvet's death is on the dog that dug underneath her gate and attacked her dog in her yard. 8. Nene has all these 'credited' roles but why she ain't on a sitcom? Drama series? Procedural? Oh yeah. Because her ass is sitting on the same show as Kenya collecting the same check. Nene might've had ONE network role but so had many other real actors. When she has longevity then we'll talk. Till then, she's a stereotype playing stereotypical roles. 9. You said you agreed that Nene should pay so.... 10. All is fair in love, war, and business. And let's not talk about Phelony stealing b/c that's how she's made a living. *looks around* Where is Angela Stanton?!!! And Kenya had endorsements in the 90s. Has Nene had any? Oh yeah, she hasn't. She barely strings a sentence together with her broken english. Bridemaids? Fistses? Guestes? And open the library door at your own risk. I've been known to snatch, scalp, gather, collect, and ether bitches.

1. The whole housewives thing is old. None of these women on this show has a steady marriage with the exception of the few. None of ATLs marriage count b/c they are all hanging by a string. Including that business arraignment with Greg and Nene 2. Wasn't it like three seasons ago that Nene was flirting with Peter, the man she called BITCH, but when Sheree, Phaedra, Kim, and Kandi jokingly called her out on it, she denied it too? Oh OK. #SelectiveMemory 3. Having no friends? Ain't Nene's dropping like flies. Kim. Sheree. Dwight. Marlo. Kenya. Cynthia. I'm sure there are many more that have not come to light ... yet. 4. No furniture? How long did it take Nene to get hers? And didn't she borrow some from Kenya when she in LA? Yep. She did. 5. And what is Nene's acting career? Playing herself on Glee & New Normal. Kenya at least has range and she stayed working throughout the 90s and early 00s on black sitcoms/movies. A role is a role. 6. Dragged? Um no. Porsha tugged at her hair like a baby but who bounced up and sashayed away like a queen with her hair still intact. Can't say Nene's would. 7. Bringing up Velvet is low. She didn't kill the dog and going that low is grasping for straws. 8. Acting work is acting work. At the end of the day, Nene is a flash in a pan. Question is can she sustain her 'career?' Can she develop range? We'll wait on that.... 9. Nene made the bet. Not Kenya. Again, Nene put no stipulations on it. Pay up or shut up. 10. Kenya must've made some coinage on that video because she has mule mouth Head Doctor Parks still all up in her feelings and riding her jock two seasons afterwards. And while Kenya gets her endorsement for ProActiv, we'll make sure that Nene gets some too. Suggestions? I have a few: (for those dentures) OR (for the edges that have gone missing) #TheReadingRoomIsNowClosed

Oh OK. I said it. But she does not care about Cynthia. Never has. Nene is all about having numbers and puppets and the footage does not lie. Again, she needs to get a new shtick. Like a new wig. One that has edges attached to it as well. And Andy and Kim shaded the hell out of Nene. Footage does not lie. And who is pressed over Nene? No one. She's the only one that's pressed. Pressed that Cynthia won't allow her to control her any more. Pressed that Kenya is the breakout star. Pressed that Kandi is the REAL rich bitch. Pressed that Claudia is another person to steal her thunder. Nene can have all the one on one special she wants. She's nothing more but a cash cow for Bravo. That's it. And I agree that Nene will leave on her own terms ... However, Bravo is going to help push her out in the process in the form of Team Pretty. Is something wrong with y'all Queen Kenya haters knees?!

Kim and Nene genuinely care for each other? Where did you see that boo? I definitely didn't see it from Kim. Kim's body language and low-key shade simply showed that LaNathan is Patrick Swayze to her. Straight ghost. Two, Nene made the deal. Not Kenya. She put no stipulations on it except that when Kenya wrote her check, she'd write hers. Nene can spin this how she wants but she ain't getting off the hook. Cut the check. Three, when did I say that Nene didn't care for Cynthia? I've only said that she's using the same shtick that she did on Sheree and Kim. She'll swear up and down that she'll never forgive them ... until next season swings around and she needs something to keep her relevant and in the circle. Four, what was it that Nene said that we all agreed with two years ago? Please remind me because with Nene it's never specific. LaNathan aka Bullwinkle....

WWHL: This reunion is farce. A total waste. Nene hasn't even seen Kim's kids yet. This solidifies my suspicion that these two are only playing nice b/c they have common enemies and aren't competing against each other. Nene swearing she'll never make up with Cynthia ... Chile plz. You said the same thing about Sheree and Kim, yet you made up with them. Lather, rinse, wash. Nene, get a new shtick. And is Nene even catching all the shade Andy is tossing at her? From the word of the night being "queen" to the shade about the bet with Kenya. Get a grip. He's laughing AT you. Not with you. And Kim is even shading and paying Nene in dust. Anyone catch the Dr. Hochstein [Lisa from RHOM hubby] shade she tossed at Nene? Yeah ... but I am supposed to believe y'all are close. OK.... Furthermore, Nene needs to stop reneging on her deal and pay the 20k. It doesn't look good each time she dodges the question. She's gonna catch grief in the long haul. RHOA: On the dinner with all the ladies--why was Audi there? Like seriously? Claudia could've occupied that spot. Phaedra annoys me with the occasional slut and whore insults. It's played out. Move on. Deflection at its finest if you ask me. . . . Nene dominating the exchange against Cynthia pissed me off. For one, it made Nene seem like she was hiding something. Two, it showed the audience why Nene can't keep a friend. She wants puppets, dolls, and dogs--things she can control. When can't control you, she gets rid of you. Cynthia, I commend you! You kept cool, unphased, and classy and Nene was clearly pressed [like a panini] by it, hence her outburst. So funny that next week she'll be crying about Cynthia--the friend she swears she does not care about. Nene is simply mad because she no longer has control on the show or her cast members. She's realizing that she is expendable and her days are potentially numbered.
