Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

I just caught up on the OC --- now THAT was a fun episode. Damn, I'm so surprised that Lauri is spilling all this dirt. They glossed over the finer details of what Vicki did to Lauri, but it obviously pissed her off so much that she is determined to bring out the dirt. I wonder if Bravo reached out to her since the Alexis/Heather's friend thing was so mis-managed... or if Lauri came to Bravo.

If it's all true, which I have no reason to believe Lauri is lying, then Vicki is suuuuch a dirty hypocrite. But I still love my Vicki - she's just pure comedy to me.

I think this reunion ought to be dynamite with Lauri vs. Vicki - and I wonder what Brianna has to say about all this.

Lauri was housewives gold so it kinda makes me sad seeing what a hater she is now. I wish they could've brought Lauri and Jeana back full-time and have them more like friends with Vicki. My ideal OC cast would be Vicki, Lauri, Jeana, Tamra, Heather and Lydia. I think Lydia has done well and Alexis and Gretchen have done all they can do for this show. Bringing back those old wives would mix things up nicely IMO.

Eh, apples and oranges IMO. I mean the fact that she's returning I don't really care about and playing a certain level of crazy to try and keep a spot... I don't think I'd call that smart. I mean if she could do all of that AND still ball then maybe but she seems like she's stupid as hell with money as recent reports suggest so I'll be interested to see where she films and she's most definitely expendable... at this moment for Bravo, possibly not but down the line absolutely - she's not Nene levels of smart. But we shall see.

I've heard numerous things. I've heard they are friends and I've heard they are back at each other's throats because TrailerSue Trampra mocked Gretchen singing. IMO, these two are going at b/c they both want the same thing: a wedding spinoff. IMO, neither one deserves one b/c they don't bring in the ratings of RHOA & RHONJ nor do they bring in the attention of RHOBH. I pray that they get rid of these two, even Gretchen is the lesser of the two evils, get rid of Vicki now too, chunk the deuces to Alexis, keep Pleather and Rocky (from Bullwinkle) and start from scratch. This show needs a major retool as Queen Linnethia said. Hell, they should let her do the casting. Nene has cast/referred some of the most controversial and entertaining HWs in the franchise (i.e. Kim & Sheree regardless how we feel about them).

I read somewhere that Andy C has been trying to get Lauri to come back since season 6, but that she didn't want to come back due to the changing nature of the show. She did agree to come back for guest stints in season 8 to test the waters.

I bet she agreed to come for visits after the whole Vicki thing occured off camera.. imho

The RH franchise turning nasty is something we've been seeing for years and it's only getting worse, it will be the death of the shows, you can be guaranteed of that. We've seen it kill RHOV, it will happen to all these shows if there isn't a turnaround.

IMO, the last show(s) standing will be RHOA & RHOBH. That's because RHOA is the lightest, most comical show. Their fights tends to be hilarious and not as malicious. RHOBH tends to have the perfect blend of light & dark moments. Now the other shows. . . .

I think New Jersey will cancel itself out this season if they don't clean up their mess. NYC is on its last legs now. The jury is still out on Miami but I think their upcoming season might be the one to watch. OC needs a bullet put in it . . . at least on their current cast.

I can see that happening. Do you think they'll ever add more cities to the RH franchise/lineup?

I know there have been talks forever about Dallas and that might be interesting and I'm trying to think what other cities in the US would be interesting or semi-interesting for the show. They seem to have tackled most of the hot spots... idk anyone in Philly who is that hot or I wouldn't mind one based there as well.

I think OC and ATL will be the ones that last. Beverly Hills has never consistently been great in the ratings and the negatively brought their ratings down for most of season 3. New Jersey's premiere ratings proved that they should've done a reboot. It's the same ole dynamic over and over again. Nothing changes.

NJ premiere ratings were great. 2.8 million vi ewers is good for them and better than all recent premieres except Atlanta.

None of these shows are going anywhere until rati ng s nosedive. Nothing on Bravo gets the ratings and attention of the housewives and they market these shows overseas. I really don't think Andy cares if they get dark or not.

They do need to shake things up in NJ but the ratings don't lie.. I will keep watching as long as my Teresa is on there.

    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be.
