LMAO at the NYC reunion with Jill trying to be super fake and apologetic and the ladies called her out at every turn. Ramona says that she tried to get her to not film with Bethenny so that would sabotage her show and Jill calls her a liar. Alex confirms what Ramona said by saying Jill said the same thing. By the end of that exchange, Jill was admitting that she was wrong and apologizing. But I thought they were lying? She was such a snake. And to end the reunion saying she didn't know if she could come back. Bitch please! You love the attention and we all know you DID return. She was so full of herself.

Kelly came across even more delusional at the reunion than she did on Scary Island bc a least time had passed, she'd seen herself on tv and could process things but she STILL bore no responsibility and built the women up to be systematic bullies. Crazy!

I did have to get a chuckle when she admitted that she didn't even want to go on the vacation but was forced to by Bravo. Made total sense to me bc I was wondering why she would go. Andy quickly said that wasn't true but we all know he was lying. Bravo made her go. Also interesting to note that Bethenney said she didn't leave on her own but she was forced off the island and had to be escorted off by a producer. She was that insane.

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.

So... I am enjoying RHoOC, but it needs to step up into second gear right about now. Good scenes with Tamra and her mom, I guess the point of those scenes was to paint Tamra in a better light... but that doesn't mean that everything she said about herself wasn't the truth.

Brooks is so slimey and shady, blech.

Re RHoNY. I enjoy LuAnn sometimes so I'm glad she is returning.

I wouldn't mind Jill returning for a little while, if only because her shadow looms so large over the current NY cast, and because after reading this thread, I am reminded how that toxic witch needs to be called out once and for all. The way she treated Bethenny was especially awful.

Just finished Season 2 NYC Reunion... wow, I'll say it again: I'm amazed they brought back Kelly Bensimon for another season, let alone 2 seasons! They all thought she was cookadoodledoo from the get-go. Ugh, waste of airtime. Moving on... it's so interesting to see how the friendships changed from season 2 to 3. Alex & Jill were supportive of each other; Bethenny & Ramona got into it a couple times; Ramona not liking Alex; Bethenny being close to Jill and LuAnn; everyone thinking Kelly was confusing/contradictory/in her own "Kelly world".

Also, back then in 2009, Andy Cohen had a little more weight to him and it definitely showed in his face. Not a good look on him.

I started getting into Real Housewives in early 2011 and NYC was one of the last that I caught on to (but now it's one of my faves!) so I just purchased Season 4 which I'll be receiving sometime in the next week. I remember the reunion being absolutely toxic with constant bickering, but I didn't see all of the season, so it'll be nice to finally be caught up on *all* NYC seasons :)

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.

Season 4 started out well.. I still laugh at Luann on the camel to this day LOL

What is weird is that when the season started, Jill and Alex were on the outs but made up. Alex was getting along with everyone it appears.. but then I remember cracks starting to form when Kelly/Cindy went to Alex's party and they were being all snooty about going to Brooklyn.. and then leaving a minute after getting there.

By the time of the Africa trip, Luann and company were torturing Alex. They saw her as the weaker of the trio of Ramona/Sonja/Alex, imho.

Though I still remember the scene where Kelly was slamming Sonja's house and stating how in disrepair the house was and that Sonja was not dealing with a full deck. The only person to defend her was Luann... but once season 5 rolled around, viewers were treated to Sonja in the Grey Garden variety. How eerie that cray cray Kelly was on the mark for once and no one believed her LOL

However, I think Jill was the lead in her group of mean girls and even if Kelly/Cindy/Luann were axed.. Jill would have easily recruited Aviva/Carole/Heather against Ramona. With Luann being left alone, she wasn't able to be effective in recruiting people against Ramona and by the reunion, everyone was dumping on Luann at the reunion.. it was wonderful :)

With that said, with Luann signing on this late.. will she have a slightly smaller part then the other housewives? Perhaps be downgraded to friend of?

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
