This. Its supposed to be The REAL Housewives of Atlanta. Not the Wannabe Hollywood Actresses of Atlanta. if everything we saw of Kenya last year was completely and totally made up then that just makes even worse cuz it means the real her isn't even that interesting to begin with. I mean think about it. The best she could do was start ish with Phaedra of all people. Was that then too made up and just acting on her part or was she truly mad at Phaedra?

Its just too annoying and frankly a waste of my time trying to figure her out. She had some great lines and was good for comedic relief but like others have said you can't blame the rest of the wives if they don't take her seriously at all. Especially if she's just pretending and acting. For all Sheree's ridiculousness and frontin you at least knew that Sheree actually believed all the nonsense she was spouting and that that was her true personality. With Kenya I felt like I was just watching a trainwreck just waiting to occur and explode on everyone...

I'm not referring to the housewife part....I'm talking about the realness part. I'm long past caring if they're truly married or not. While it would be a plus if these girls were actually married its not my main concern. I just want to see real people on my screen who are having real conversations/interactions. If they're entertaining I'll continue to watch. But if they're over the top and furthermore i know that they're just acting then it ceases to be fun...at least for me. Does that make a little bit more sense?

I get that but its just a title; not meant to be taken literally. Kenya doesn't keep it real 100%, but so what? She's entertaining and the only talking point from this past season. Besides she isn't the only one as Phakedra is phony as hell and Ive grown tired of her schtick. Without Kenya, there really wouldn't have been much of a show. Nene was MIA for most of the season and Kim made an early exit. Phaedra and Porsha would have had no storyline. I really don't think Cynthia's modeling agency and Kandi moving in with Todd could have carried the season

Makes sense to me. What annoys me is when the drama is so obviously manufactured that it can't even be hidden. Like Jersey's S4 finale with that dumb secret that "something was going to go down" at the Posche fashion show and the big "Melissa was a stripper" reveal. Who even CARES if she was, firstly, and secondly, the dude who made the reveal, complete with a Bravo microphone hooked up to him, was SO staged.

Jersey just shows to me that you have to make cast changes in order to create new story that looks as least semi-organic and real; New cast members meet, some hit it off while some clash. The same people year after year gets old, their stories have been played out, so the plot twists look sillier than Melrose Place circa season 6.

The idea to shelf a couple cities and introduce new cities/series might be a good idea. For now, people still love the Housewives brand.

Of the main long-running franchises, I expect Bravo to give up on NYC first because it hasn't been a buzz worthy show since season 3. Perhaps they'd bring on a whole new cast after some time off and promote it as a completely new show. Manhattan Mommies? :)

Nope. I wish they would. IMO, I think it's time that Bravo would do an international franchise . . . The Real Housewives of London. Now that city has some REAL women married to/from old money.

Oh I agree that none of these shows are going anywhere till a ratings nosedive but again I see NYC & OC getting the boot first if Bravo was to drop another franchise. I would only add New Jersey to this if they DON'T lighten up this season. People all over the net have expressed that they aren't down to see another dark season of New Jersey. I think the women realize that too, hence why they are all making up with each other because if not, Bravo will keep Teresa & Caroline and give the other three the boot. Teresa probably doesn't care but the other four I'm sure want to keep their spot and the only way to do so is to keep Terrorsa happy.

they are probably hesitant to go international bc of the distance. They cant make regular appearances on WWHL or do as much promoting on American tv via the talk shows which the other ladies do. Andy would probably have less executive control and contact, etc... Besides I still think theres several cities in the US that need to be done and Dallas is at the top of that list.

IMO, I don't want them touch Dallas seeing as the Big Rich franchise did Dallas (tongue.png @ did Dallas a la Debbie Does Dallas). I want them to do Seattle or Detroit.

And I think that they could go an international one like London. Most of them women (if they pick really wealthy women that are known for jet-setting) are probably use to traveling (or even have a home in U.S.) on a regular basis.

In Beverly Hills Housewives news, is the newest housewife getting flack from the other women? Jealous much?

Very true Cheap, but hell just come to the states for a week or so or Andy can travel abroad and just do WWHL a for a week abroad. I'd kill to do either if you give me notice in advance when to be there because I know its a lengthy flight from the states to someplace like London.

    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.
