It was only the first day but I don't see this panel being able to gel. Joy is Joy which is great, but Whoopi is checked out waiting for her contract to be up, Michelle is unfunny and redundant with Joy back, Raven seems even more lost without Nicole and Rosie P to help her clear out her ignorant thoughts and the Paula woman is no Meredith Vieira. They don't have time to wait for someone to learn how to let their hair down and relax. I don't understand why they even hired Candace either if she's going to be gone for three months? Waste of a chair and now they're going to have to wait even longer for the ladies to find a groove together. I'll say it again, they should have kept Nicole, especially with election season underway. The key to a successful talk show is consistency and making viewers comfortable with a knowledge of exactly what to expect when they tune in. Unfortunately once again ABC has failed to cast the show toward a way to solidify that. I truly don't see this making it past season 20.

Joy was a smart move but they still should have kept Nicole especially if they were going to do a panel of 6, the Paula woman is not needed.

She had a very classy exit. They really should have kept her, next season is going to be an even bigger trainwreck than these last few.

Yeah they may as well cancel this.

Its been known for years Big Kev beats her. He's also ordered hits out on her competition before. With all the crap she talks about people she is VERY lucky no one has put her business all the way out in the mainstream streets.

They shouldn't have fired Nicole, I would have liked having both her and Candace to provide some contrast and clarity, setting them apart from everything else right now. Now its just going to be far right nut job getting ripped by the other ladies. Been there, done that, its tired. I liked Angie Martinez today and i think she'd be a great Rosie P replacement.

I think the panel of Whoopi, Nicole, Michelle, DJ from Full House, and Raven works really well. These last two days have been very entertaining.

I actually like Molly Sims. She has a different kind of vibe from the other ladies that works for me, they need someone who can do that fashion and beauty stuff and she's perfect for that. Plus she's [!@#$%^&*] gorgeous I want them to try Stacy London out again though, with Raven, not that annoying ass Christela woman.

Bunch of haters on isles 7,8,9,10... I love Mariah, have since Fantasy with Ol Dirty Bastard. Me and the Mrs went to New York and stayed with the sister-in-law from hell during the holiday's just so we could go see her at the Beacon Theater and while her voice isn't what it used to be, she still had her wow moments and still outsang her peers and 90% of these youngins doing it today. Her last couple of albums are actually very good too, the most recent one specifically just had really poor single choices and yes, her image does need a major makeover. I find her personality absolutely hilarious. I think people take the whole diva thing far more seriously than she intends. She has some obvious issues that stem from her childhood and then her time with the devil Tommy Mottola, and maybe she should work them out with a therapist as opposed to bottles of champagne, but the way she channels that into her songwriting is absolutely breathtaking. I just will always have a soft spot and love for her.

I agree, Joy leaving was the real hit to the show for me. I think she's said she'd be open to coming back to a situation like that as well, they should give her whatever she wants.

I agree that Nicole is finally letting her hair down, Rosie P is too. Rosie O was such a negative energy, the show has a much more relaxed vibe now and the panel isn't afraid to say their opinions. Raven Symone is an idiot and not in the fun ridiculous way like Naya Rivera, I hope she's not a real contender for the 5th chair. I'm not crazy about the Samantha woman either.

Gina Tognoni was looked at for a Carly recast when Sarah Brown was leaving, and Brown says she recommended Laura Wright to TPTB. Sarah Buxton and not actually latino Galen Gerring's odd wife were candidates when TB left.

Rosie O leaving was the best thing that could have happened to the show. I love Garcelle Beauvais and Padma Lakshmi but I'm still pulling for Stacy London and Naya Rivera and/or Michelle Williams.

There was nothing refreshing about Rosie O bringing up Frozen, her kids, or her weight loss a million times, constantly making every topic about herself or her views and just getting an attitude and then completely checking out of the discussion when she couldn't. Whoopi ain't chit either but she knows how to work with a panel much better. She doesn't suffocate the show with boring, awkward self indulging segments of her doing crafts, having a former overweight person come on just to tell her how awesome and inspiring she is, or bringing little kids on just so they can sing Let It Go ad nauseum. She needed to go.

Are y'all talking about the show where she had the hotel and the "proper" brother? I liked that too, that and The Tracy Morgan Show were done dirty. I love her too but this is not the venue for her. She seems nervous whenever she speaks. She's been better since she came back from play rehearsal but I'd still cut her. I think Michelle Williams would be good instead.

The show is so much better without Rosie O. She is just a draining self absorbed presence and so hard to watch. I think the panel for next season should be Whoopi, Nicole, Stacy London, and Naya Rivera. I'd fire Rosie P but because of the backlash they got when they tried this season I'd just let her be for now.

I like the panel they've had the last couple of days. Stacy London is fun without trying too hard and being obnoxious and Carolina Bermudez is great. Slot in someone young and I'd watch more.

I miss Adam 12 and Dragnet, hopefully they pop up again soon.

Lauren Woodland was close to getting Annie on AMC. Her, Erin Hershey Pressley, and Erin Torpey were up for recast Courtney on GH before they decided to kill her off, Torpey being the front runner.

Billy being a ballroom dancer was a plot in the first couple of episodes. I'm probably the only person who adores the simple and cheesy early episodes.

I don't think its a coincidence that Nene keeps bringing up how much she misses the original cast in interviews. Based on how this season is rumored to end up, Nene is going to need an ally against Marlo and Kenya, and her and Kim going head to head with them would be AMAZING. Lets not forget Kim's unfinished business with Kandi and Phaedra over TFTP either, they should absolutely bring her back for next season. Season seven should be Nene, Kim, Marlo, Kenya, Cynthia, Kandi, and Phaedra with Monique with a y as an official friend

"In Beverly Hills, the higher you climb, the farther you fall." What a fitting tagline this is based on how the tides have turned for Brandi. Taylor wasn't lying when she said Brandi has ruined the show, her treatment of Joyce is disgusting. Happy to see Lisa was smart enough to start distancing herself from Brandi even before the audience backlash started. Its too bad her and Kyle didn't reconcile before she left the trip because its obvious that's what they both wanted. Kim is partly to blame for that by constantly trying to pick fights, I died at Lisa closing the door on her, she clearly has no tolerance for Kim and her antics anymore. I also loved when she called Brandi an animal to Yolanda, so shady, so good. I think that might be her only ailment in surviving Bravo's latest villain edit attempt, thinking Yolanda would be more loyal to her. I'm excited to see how this season plays out with everyone trying to run Lisa off the show so they can be the queen or whatever (and lets face it her leaving is the only way that could happen), but their needs to be some changes come season 5. Like New York and all the housewife franchises once they reach season 4, things have gotten too nasty.

I like Mynique already then. Still hoping for Kim Z to pop up again this season

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.

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.
