  1. BH had too many housewives. They could have easily trimmed it down to 5 or 6. Kim for example did nothing noteworthy of keeping her on as an official housewife and Taylor didn't do a whole lot either. Even Adrienne was barely there. Kim 's role especially served more as a friend and she should have been bumped off. I loved season 2 of Miami but 7 was too many. Ana, like Kim, just didn't do a whole lot to warrant being a full housewife. 6 is the sweet spot. Anything more than that is a lot and doesn't allow for much room to showcase them all in full capacity

    I agree, the only time having 7 housewives worked for me was season 3 of NYC. Each lady added something to the dynamic and you could throw any of them together and get some really good scenes.

  2. Lipstick Alley had THE most amazing tea-spilling thread about RHoNJ this weekend. Like, jaw-dropping. I have no idea if it is all true but, to keep a long story short, the (alleged) reason for the feud is because Joey got in serious debt to keep Melissa in the style to which she has become accustomed, moved them into a spec house built on materials/handiwork that he has yet to pay back because the house was initially built to be "flipped," i.e. the construction people would be paid after the house sold.

    Since he didn't sell the house, he still had to pay them and got into debt with loan sharks upon which he bilked his parents' home (without them even knowing). The loan sharks evicted the elders, and that's why Juicy was building a place for them on his property. And that's why Teresa and her parents can't stand Melissa because they think her need to be famous was behind Joey's need to move her into the spec house and get his hands on $$$.

    Wow, every year more and more information comes out about this. If Meliesa were smart she'd get off tv soon cause the sharks are about to pounce. Andy Cohen can only do so much and she's no longer got a producer who'll edit the show in her favor.

  3. I'll take Sheree back, I kind of missed her last season. Even when her broke ass was played out she was still more entertaining and authentic than Kenya and Porsha will ever be. Plus with Kim being pregnant again they need someone who can really rile Nene up. I guess you could maybe pull a Lauri angle with Lisa Wu since she was basically the original Cynthia but eh.

    And "Say shame, say shame on your sister" is all I need to know about what caused JoGo to fall out with his family.

  4. That's a whole lot of bad acting. At least Teresa seems relatively natural with it. Joe Gorga seems to have wandered off the set of Hardcore Pawn.

    Even Seth is a better actor than that.

    Joe Gorga and Meliesa need to quit the perpetual victim act. Y'all wanted fame so bad you were willing to sell out family. Any shady stuff production Tre has done/does to them is more than deserved at this point.

  5. I need Jeana and Lauri back as official Housewives and Alexis and Gretchen to get their walking papers. Time to transition that show back to how it was before the originals left and all of the barbies invaded. Lydia and Heather can stay since they actually have money.

  6. I was so mad 90210 got another season when it was more than clear at the time that the show was 100% done peak wise. Melrose finally got on the upswing and boom, cancelled. The new head of FOX at the time was really annoying and nonchalant about it in the press too.

  7. I never thought we'd see the daywub.png

    It will be interesting to see how this cast turnover goes, the one with Whoopi and Sheri joining was basically seamless and this group has been together for a while.

  8. Seasons 5, 6, & 8 were great but 1-4 is definitely the show at its best. I wish Shannen had come back at least once so we could have seen her with TAT's Val.

    7, the last college season is absolute trash. The only interesting thing that happened that year was the stuff with Donna and her stalker, and even that was rushed and badly acted. The last two seasons are just flat out mediocre and it was obvious how past its peak the series was.

  9. I bet I Dream Of Nene gets a second season or they're at least testing it out like they did with Kim's show. That cast is interesting, looks like we might get a chance to find out more about Nene's relationship with her scary sidekick Diana. And I'm glad Jennifer is back on reality tv. She may be bougie but they did her foul on that last season of Basketball Wives.

    And IA seasons 2-4 were the OC ladies at there best. I'm also one of the few who think seasons six and seven were good too, just slow.

  10. Season 4 of NY gets a bad rap IMO, it was actually pretty good up until Jill and her crew started up with that Ramona's an alcoholic campaign and went on about mean tweeting as a way to "ice out" Alex (man Kelly was so stupid she couldn't even be subtle about the fact they were trying to get Alex kicked off the show, remember that awkward breakfast scene?).

    Cindy was a terrible addition too, and then that reunion which I consider to be one of, if not the nastiest I've seen from any reality show. Honestly though all they really had to do for season 5 was fire Kelly, Cindy, and LouMan so Jill wouldn't have her minions, bring in Carole, Heather, and Aviva as newbies/friends and you could have had a much better season.

  11. What made season 3 of NY so great was all the crazy drama that was going on off screen. Even when the cameras aren't rolling those ladies are always at each others necks. Jill was usually the most vicious, always using the show and the tabloids to go after whichever housewife she saw as an enemy at the moment. She really went to great lengths trying to sabotage Bethenny, and she was always vile when it came to Alex & Simon.

  12. “They want me back,” LuAnn insists. “It’s a matter of negotiating my contract. I brought the franchise to what it is, so I expect to be treated with respect by the network.”

    She is right though, she's responsible for some classic stuff in the franchise.

    Money Can't Buy You Class,

    "Even Louis Vuitton makes mistakes"

    Her feud with Ramona

    The mess she caused between Jill and Bethenny,

    Bethenny calling her a snake and their whole relationship/feud

    Her belittlement of the girls due to her title specifically Alex

    The cheating scandals!

    This right here though

    “They’re bringing in a couple new people, but who can replace The Countess?”

    The problem is like Sheree before her, she's an original cast member/ingredient, but her time has come. Her life is now about the show instead of the show being about her life. That forced Ramona tried to blackmail me story and the mess with the pirate. Her only decent angle was her brewing feud with Carole, but even that got boring by the time the reunion came around.

    They can easily replace her, just like Sheree was replaced with Kenya as the chick who always gets into fights and stirs stuff up. She should just accept whatever offer they give her and bow out gracefully in the upcoming season.

  13. Gretchen and Slade being such a blatant showmance is what turned me off to Gretchen and the OC women for awhile. They got tolerable in a way last season but I still don't pay any attention to their scenes. I used to hope she would just dump his loser ass and find a better person to date for the show, but it seems like she really does care for him so I'm glad they seem truly happy together.

  14. Glad I'm not the only one who couldn't stand Lisa Wu. Before Phaedra was around with a new business venture/career per season you had Lisa hawking her ugly ass jewelry, lame fashion, and calenders. She was always the one stirring up the drama too and then trying to act innocent. I did enjoy her last appearance where she was drunk off her ass at that card game party where they exposed that fake doctor Sheree was dating.

  15. Damn them for waiting until Kim leaves to make up! Seasons 4 & 5 would have been so much more interesting if they had been able to put the bus fight behind them.

    Those tweets warm my heart though.wub.png Its beautiful that Nene was able to reestablish her relationship not just with Kim, but Kim's children as well.
