I mean... I don't think every move is producer dictated and I am sure she did want to confront Melissa but Tre wasn't even the one who brought it up. Kim D did. Regardless Melissa was lying which is why she got tongue tied, she couldn't get together some pitiful excuse to tell as truth like she usually does.

Loved the RHOC 100 episode special.

Lots of interesting views about the history of how the show started. And I liked how the Keough and Gunvalson kids got in on the action, as they well should.

I also thought it interesting that the Housewives all said that they liked the show when it was organic and followed them, rather than created drama. The first seasons had that organic quality that has disappeared as other franchises exploded with organic drama, demanding all the other franchises follow suit.

Most of all, I loved that the usual season ending guitar music played as all the Housewives discussed what they treasure about the show in the last segment, though Vicki lost me with "This is my baby, if I hadn't taken a chance there wouldn't be a RHOC"...because that just isn't true. Jeana Keough is friends with Scott Dunlop who created it.

There were endless rumors Marysol asked to become a "Friend of the Housewives," but I read an interview where she said it was Bravo's decision. She said she filmed just as much as she did during seasons 1 & 2 and it doesn't seem like she realized this was going to happen. She said that Bravo said that it was too difficult for viewers with 7 or 8 housewives, so they narrowed it down so they can focus better on the stories. I do agree that 8 housewives was too much, but Marysol is still such a crucial part to this show. I don't like the idea of her as a Friend when she was already a part of the cast seasons one and two. Especially since it sounds like she's going to be around just as much as she always is.

It isn't hard for viewers to keep up with 7-8 housewives. That's just stupid logic, Bravo. If people can watch scripted shows with 10+ cast members then we sure as hell can keep up with seven HWs. It proved successful on RHONY s3 & 4, RHOM last year, RHOBH s3, and RHOA s4 (before they reduced Marlo to just a "friend") & s5 (before Wighead exited stage left). I personally prefer 7-8 HWs. They might as well kept Ana, Marysol, & even Karent then just readded Alexia for this season. Miami left on a good note after the reunion, but Bravo always fu*ks a good thing up beforehand.

I like Marysol's quiet, sad presence on the show and am glad that she will still feature (I assume Bravo will still use footage of her if she is filming as much as she did in Seasons 1-2). Even more than Marysol, though, I want to see Mama Elsa. Like, every week I want story involving Mama Elsa. Mama Elsa giving Lea a piece of her mind, Mama Elsa gossiping with her maid, Mama Elsa sleeping over at Marysol's freezing-cold apartment and bitching about it, Mama Elsa contacting the spirits. For me, she is as much a regular as the five currently featured. In fact, I'd even go as far as say she is RHoM's star.

Too bad about Karent. I was totally on her side in S2.

Mama Elsa is another big reason I feel we need Marysol full-time. We're still going to see Elsa, so we're going to see her personal interactions as well as her interactions with the ladies. That is basically a housewife, not a "friend." Another thing I enjoyed about Marysol were her work scenes. She may not be dramatic and loud, but she was interesting. I thought she came off as a sharp business woman and she had great style and good wit.

Was the OC special all that there was this week? No new episode?

You know they built up Vicki to be the Queen B in this special as if she's at the top and runs sh-t, similarly to how its Nene's show on ATL. Maybe in the past but I don't feel that way about Vicki anymore. I think Tamra has eclipsed her. Vicki kind of lost her status last season when her friendship with Tamra crumbled and she became the outsider. She had to make nice with Alexis of all people in order to have an ally and remain relevant within the group. It seemed as if all the women started to revolve around Tamra with everyone either wanting her friendship or approval and being ostracized if they don't have. Id definitely say Tamra is currently the Queen B of the OC, not Vicki. Her iopinion doesn't feel relevant or matter anymore

Vicki will always be the Boss Bitch IMO. Tamra has become a popular core character, but I've always found her far too unlikable to be the Queen Bee. Vicki has so many different layers and she has a family we actually get to see, plus a job. She's the ultimate housewife. I just wish Jeana was still around. The 100th episode special made me really miss Jeana and her family. Jeana also looked BEAUTIFUL on Watch What Happens Live.

Another old face I want to see again is Jo. I wonder why Andy didn't consider her for New York. They're struggling and she could add some young blood, diversity and money to the show. It looks like she has a handsome, wealthy boyfriend. She also has a good job and lives in New York.

I really don't see Vicki as a boss or breakout star like NeNe, Bethenny, Tre, or Lisa V she just happened to be the last original HW standing......

    • 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.
