Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

I think Lauri is one of the greatest housewives of all time and she really put this franchise on the map. Jeana, Vicki and Lauri were something special and I don't think this show is the same without Jeana and Lauri. What I liked about Lauri is that she seemed like a real life Edie Britt. She was sexy, had the overdone plastic surgery and had lived the OC lifestyle, but still had so many problems. I LOVED watching her work with Vicki and then find George and as her life is getting better seeing her struggle with Josh. She had interesting interactions with the ladies and also had a family that was interesting. I wish she'd signed the contract for season six when they tried to bring her back.

To me, OC has suffered since Tamra and Gretchen became the stars. It has a new feel and tone and it's very desperate. The only thing I didn't like is that the trailers tried to make Lauri seem like some returning villain, but that was never the case. Hopefully it comes off better on screen.

lol...I never saw her as an Edie Britt type. Edie was spicy and stirred things up. Lauri? She was just there. To be honest that trailer looks like the most interesting Ive seen her

Tamra's been the best addition to the show. Ive loved her and hated her but cant ever say I was bored by her.

I feel like Tamra really needs the show so there is a desperation there. I don't find any of her actions to be genuine. I know they're all guilty of creating storylines, but she is the absolute worst. I liked Tamra at first, but better when she wasn't the star. Now that Tamra and Gretchen run the show I hate it.

So the OC will replace BH on Mondays. Didn't BH and Atlanta start around the same time? So that means Atlanta and BH will end close together around end of March... I bet Bravo (if they were smart) will air BH's last reunion episode as a lead-in to the OC premiere - talk about big ratings night.

This will be the first time in a LONG time that just 1 series is airing... usually they always run two cities at a time, and sometimes three.

NJ is next up, but they are still filming and won't be ready to air until this summer.

I wonder if they air Kim's show (season 2) on Sunday nights after Atlanta airs...

I just finished the season premiere of RHOA and Remington stole my heart! That scene where she asked Mary to sing was so heartwarming. It makes me sad to think the US is missing out of this fantastic series. I LOVE Robin and it looks like I'll enjoy Ioulia. Losing Christina and Reiko is a huge, huge blow, but I think this will be a good season regardless.

Really? Gretchen/Tamra is what drew me into this series. I never cared for it before they came together and Heather came along. Pretty sure Alexis didn't film a lot in the beginning too. It'll be interesting to see from an editing & filming standpoint. I love I'd because while they bring the drama and get ratchet, it's still light & fun.

Too bad Teresa can't do anything to fix her awful hairline. Kyles blog. Oh my god. The bullshit, the lies. This woman is really a piece of work.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
