This is why I don't like Brandi. If Maurice really is cheating its not her place to expose that, especially not on camera.

Lisa better watch out, keep laying down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

“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.

Double post....

They have new producers so I'm hoping this season is better and less biased editing wise. At the very least Koma Kathy should have received a pink slip though. The only interesting thing she's ever done is ride a bicycle to the grocery store.

IF the "This season on" trailer for NJ looks like the same chit as the last two years I'm not even going to bother with this season

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.

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.

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. Its beautiful that Nene was able to reestablish her relationship not just with Kim, but Kim's children as well.

I loved that Lisa called Kyle and Mauricio out for defending Adrienne and Paul so they could get the listing on their house. I've been thinking that all season

I just realized I never really posted in this thread. I always get caught up in reading everyone's posts that I forget to make mine.

Atlanta

I have no sympathy for Kandi. She sat back and seethed for years while Kim played her like a fiddle and ranked in the dough with Tardy For The Party. She should have made sure she got her cut back in season 3 when all she did the whole season was whine about Kim not paying her in her interview segments (but then went and made another song for her like an idiot).

I see I'm the only one here who likes Kim? Yes she is a gold digging user but at least with her you know what you're getting (unlike Fakedra's shady low life ass). I hope they bring her back for season six. She's been boring on Housewives the last two seasons but I blame that on the pregnancies. Love her or hate her she gets you talking, and Nene is boring without her or Sheree around to get her riled up. Plus her and Kenya (who along with Cynthia is the only one bringing it this year) would be GOLD.

Beverly Hills

This season has been so trashy and blah, and I blame it all on Brandi and Maloof Hoof (only way I'll refer to that vile creature is with the nickname Lisa blessed her with).

Brandi is to Beverly Hills what Tamra is to RHOC, low rent trash that the producers can make do their bidding because she's broke and needs the gig. Yes Maloof Hoof is a lying liar who lies but she didn't need to expose her like that. If Maloof Hoof were actually smart, and not just pretending to be while her brothers run their family business into the ground, she would have ignored Brandi's comment. Instead she made it a bigger deal by threatening a law suit then forcing production to edit it out. I'm glad Paul (who's a petty bitch but I still have a soft spot for him) left her and I hope they slay her cowardly lion looking ass at the reunion.

Kyle is definitely headed for the villain edit next season and its about damn time. She is absolutely vile, the way she has attacked Brandi, left Lisa hanging and used her alcoholic sister to look better on tv is disgusting. I still believe she made that comment about Camille back in season 1.

Next years cast should be Lisa (duh!), Brandi (like I said she's trash but she's more than earned her diamond), Yolanda (I love her despite her suspect views and comments), Kyle, The Morally Corrupt Faye Resnick (Kyle's going to need a sidekick), and a new lady. Someone uber rich and a little out there in the vein of season 3 Sonja from NYC.

Everyone else gotta go. Maloof Hoof is definitely out for good. Camille played herself by siding with her. Shana has been hilarious this season but she's still a grifting liar, and a broke one to boot. And Kim adds nothing to the show other than give Kyle someone to whine about, they can downgrade her to friend status. I would bring back Marisa too but she was kind of boring overall, I don't think Bravo has any use for her.

Jesus Christ this show has been on for 16 years?! I'm getting old. They definitely need a shake up but I don't know if they're going about it the right way.

Joy was the last tolerable one IMO and her exit is going to leave a bigger hole than I feel Bill Gettie and Bahbwa Wawa are expecting.

I can't stand Elisabitch but I would have kept her. She consistently brings the drama and controversy. Sherri is just an ignorant dumbass who can barely argue/stand by her own opinion without getting flustered. Whoopi doesn't care about 90% of the chit they talk about and only gets passionate when its time to defend a celebrity white male. And Babs just needs to be put down tbh. She never adds anything to th discussions and always hinders them by trying to make sure no one powerful gets offended.

Monday's show should be interesting, this show always becomes must-see-tv whenever one of the ladies is leaving.

Just got the issue in the mail, thankfully its the one with Melrose on the cover. Its even more gorgeous in person

Really great article, in it they say Thomas Calabro declined to participate in the story/photoshoot so at least he was asked:(

Thanks! This should have been Melrose Place 2.0

This is beautiful, my word

The ladies still as bad as ever

I was reading in a spring 1996 SOD about GH casting a sexy young woman who would have a surprising tie to town. That is basically Carly. They said SMG had been seen at the studio, for what they didn't know. They also said Melissa Reeves was rumored to be getting the role. Can you imagine Melissa Reeves or SMG as Carly?

Gellar would have killed it. LOL at the mere mention of Reeves being considered.

That Taylor woman is vile, I've never seen someone so emotionally manipulative in my life. How the lost Collin's sister remained calm and kind while that piece of trash attacked and tried to start a pile on against her, IN HER OWN DAMN HOUSE for that matter, I will never know. I was cheering on Kelsey Grammar's ex when she finally blew her fuse and went off.

Wow. Hope she rots in jail.

Teen Nick is doing another Every Degrassi Ever marathon if anyone is interested.

When are those pictures from? I would figure that some of those peeps have moved on even from the infamous backstage Degrassi party scene.

The Munch Music Video Awards. Aubrey Drake was there too but apparently he purposely avoided everyone from the show.

I wanna know why Chantay is still on the show. The character is useless and annoying(same goes for her cousin) and I'm pretty sure she was supposed to be around the same age as Emma/Manny/Liberty & Co.

I only got into the show back in January when TeenNick did that Every Degrassi Ever marathon. Loved seasons 3-6, hated 1-2, & 7-8, but I'm likin season 9 and season 10 sounds promising.

I'm actually not big on any of the freshman characters. Clare makes for an extremely boring lead, KC's a douche, Connor is a non-entity, and Alli is annoying as hell. The older characters have all more or less grown on me, particularly Holly J. (I fought liking her long and hard because there is only ONE Paige in my heart), Sav, Riley, Anya, and Jane (who I've always liked).

I agree with you about the freshman characters, but for some reason I still find all of them more interesting than the older ones(with the exception of Holly J). I only liked Peter when he was with Darcy; Sav, Anya, Riley, Chantay, and Danny are all boring as hell, Jane was ruined for me after she cheated on Spinner, and Declan and Fionna have no business being on this show about a public school in Canada IMO.

I'm pretty sure South was still the EP in season 5.

I'm half way through season 7 now, just finished the Christmas episode. There's really no heavy hitting story lines besides Val's fake pregnancy/abortion and David's problems, everything is pretty light so far. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the season Donna loses her virginity to David. So far it's a pretty decent season. Season six was okay, I just hated how Colin was a main character throughout.

That's why I hated season 7. It was so boring, and the stories that could've potentially been good(Val faking a pregnancy, David being bipolar,

Donna's stalker, Val loosing all her money

)were so poorly plotted and acted that I just couldn't care. Everyone was so annoying that season too(especially Clare, who turned into an obnoxious bitch).

Yeah, I'm with this. Possibly because I liked Dylan/Val way more than I ever liked Dylan/Brenda, or any of Brenda's pairings, really.

I watched a few episodes online a couple weeks ago, and it really, really is starting to become clear to me why there's a huge faction of Brenda haters. She was hell to deal with sometimes. Not that this makes me like Kelly any more, because post-season 2 Kelly is my least favorite 90210 character (that I actually care about -- Matt, Janet, Noah, Gina, Hilary Swank, etc, need not apply).

I agree about Brenda, she got especially tiresome in season 4. I could never hate her though because of ShanDoh and the fact that Kelly was so damn annoying and smug.

Because it was addictive [!@#$%^&*]?

I hate seasons 7(series worst IMO), 9, and 10, but seasons 5,6, & 8 were great IMO.

I recommend

Everything else is boring and not worth watching IMO.
