Beverly Hills was TERRIBLE last season. TERRIBLE, including that wack ass reunion that nobody came to. It was a total mess. With New York, last season wasn't "exciting" , but I do think they had a strong narrative from beginning to end. I enjoyed watching it. I think every season of New York is good just because the storylines seem to flow so well from beginning to end. It doesn't feel choppy and manufactured like some of the other shows. These women know how to play the game.

You guys are prob right -- I am so biased because I am determined to love RHoBH even during its fallow periods. The sad thing is, all I can remember about last season BH were Kim & Kyle trying to turn Lisa against Yolanda... and "Twenny-Five ThouZIND" aka Dana aka PAM showing up at Taylor's, freshly divorced, super-bitter, trying to light her cigarette with that giant-ass lighter.

As for RHoNY, it took a LONG time to gel last year (and they must still be struggling with it given that it has been off our screens for so long) but once it did, it packed a punch. As Chris says, all the ladies know when to deliver. I miss the old cast but I also love the new cast... I sort of wish we could combine the two casts to make one super RHoNY.

Like, I would love to see Bethenny, Jill (yes, I said Jill), Ramona, LuAnn, Alex, Sonja, Heather, Carole, Aviva (obviously Cindy and crazy-ass Kelly can stay gone). I would give anything to see Aviva vs. Jill... Heather and Bethenny hitting it off... LuAnn vs Alex again.. Bethenny and Carole not getting each other (something tells me they wouldn't 'understand' each other)... Aviva and Bethenny HATING each other and Jill deciding to allign herself with Aviva just to piss Bethenny off... LuAnn and Jill turning on Carole... Ramona and Sonja turning on Aviva...

OK, I'm going to stop now, lol.

Really? People disliked Beverly Hills last year? I loved it, as always. I always find BH to be consistently entertaining, each & every episode.

Yeah, Tamra's wedding special should be a half-hour long. But considering there's only 3 episodes total (right?), I'll watch it through. It's pretty telling though that 2 other OC wives were already featured. Tamra clearly can't carry a show on her own and needs her castmates to basically make this a Tamra-centric extention of OC Housewives.

She's alright overall, but she comes off as being so insincere. Like all of her blunt statements reak of showboating for the sake of the cameras. And "the hottest housewife?" Not with those cottage cheese arms and back. Girlfriend looks great for her age, but c'mon.

I will follow Empress Lisa to the gates of hell, so whatever happened between her and Brandi, I'm laying the blame at Brandi's feet. At a point, we all have to pick a side with our favourite Housewives, and Lisa's got my vote.

Season 4 really is the season where the shows all die because they just get too personal and nasty. OC, the oldest of the lot, is, in many ways, the 'nicest' of the shows, certainly they are awful to each other, but they also have a certain lightness to themselves, likely because they're relatively suburban women rather than the other franchises were the women live (or think they live: Atlanta and NJ) in a high stakes environment. Ultimately, the OC women still shop at Costco and buy the odd thing at Marshalls like everyone else.

After 4 seasons it seems like the women just get too sick of each other and too much water is under the bridge.

Thanks to Bravo Andy's tweets, I now know there is an Alex McCord Onion Chopper: http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-alex-mccord-onion-chopper-1

She's already sold 980 of them, which is almost $14,000 at the price she's selling them. That's not bad for a side hustle and there's no telling how many she's sold in other avenues. Their strong work ethic is another reason I've always loved Alex and Simon. Yes they weretrying a bit too hard in the beginning, but they were actually working for it, unlike so many other housewives with their scams.

Exactly! Faye instigated a lot of the drama last season. The main feud was between Adrienne and Brandi with Lisa in her corner but Adrienne took a hands off approach and didn't really get too involved. Faye kept things going and firmly planted herself in the middle of a lot of the major conflicts. She gave the other women material to play off of. She was like this dark cloud and you knew sh-t was going to go down when Faye was around. She did try a bit too hard but she was effective nonetheless. I don't think the Adrienne drama would have been much of a story without Faye there to play her supporting role as main henchwoman (a role she also was glad to take on for Kyle)

    • I want to see her doing brunch at the country club, flirting with the personal trainers and taking FULL advantage of all the perks while it lasts
    • It's on Prime too and Pluto TV. It's also available digitally.   The Blu-ray release has the movies that haven't been seen in HD, and they've corrected the premiere two-hour movie as it originally aired. The DVD and digital release use the syndicated split two episodes.   My maternal grandmother was a big fan of the show. I had no idea until later in its run.
    • Omg I didn’t even think about that she’d be beyond the gates doing his therapy! How exciting!
    • I assumed that Reva viewed Cain as someone she owed her life to since he was the one that helped save her during her attempted suicide.. so she felt responsible when he became ill. I imagine that Long would have used Cain as an obstacle/distraction for Reva as Kyle was working through his marriage to Maeve.  What interested me was that Fletcher/Maeve were tested earlier then I thought with his constant visiting Maeve in the hospital in December 1985... so possibly Long had it planned out that Fletcher would have been the right man for Maeve while Reva was the right woman for Kyle. Both Kyle and Maeve came from money... so I could see Long planning to ultimately pair them with opposites in a socioeconomical sense of the word had she stayed on. I certainly know had she been headwriting the show when Newman came back as Josh.. she wouldn't have quickly reunited Josh/Reva.
    • I could see where Kyle was intriguing for a hot minute, given that he was a millionaire with a secret grudge against the Lewises. But the entire premise for his grudge is stupid, and Reva's insta attraction to him doesn't fly.  I do think Reva needed to be separated from the Lewises, but she always comes off as a little lost without them, imo. I'm surprised they tied Kyle to them so rapidly. They could've drawn that story out for the entire two years Larkin was there.
    • If all true and this is the right leading lady, it may make sense why Kim didn't mention her by name, since Courtney passed away in Dec 2010, just under a year before the book came out in 2011. That would be the respectful thing to do, and it's not like Kim was shy about name dropping others in the book. All speculation though haha.
    • MSW streams on Peacock (for members), Tubi (for free), is on DVD, and is rerun on cable.... and I know a lot of young millennials/older Gen Z's that have recently been exposed to Murder She Wrote... and they love it. It's timeless.
    • Another example of the dysfunctional enmeshment that the Duprees labor under.   Dani freaking out about her father coming to visit as she's in bed with her boy toy totally screamed teenager instead of a grown ass woman that has two adult children.  The whole family needs to be in therapy including Nicole (who probably became a therapist because of the dysfunction within the family). @ranger1rgConsidering the fact that Chelsea has been controlled by a domineering Dani... I would be more surprised if Chelsea wasn't being extra and/or pushy.  She's spent more time being a model, having every move controlled by Dani, and being on social media as opposed to developing interpersonal relationships with her peers.
    • I agree. Every time she's on, it reads as "We're writing her in to fulfill her guarantee."
    • -- Hayley acted jealous when she walked in on Bill and Ashley. Really? I'm sorry, but they're writing Hayley as ridiculous. -- I'm not crazy about the way they're writing Bill's stroke and recovery/rehab. Doesn't feel like he went through much at all. -- So Shanice gets a promotion to physical therapist. Kind of laughable, but I'll take it to get more Shanice -- as long as her original personality remains intact. This is clearly a change from the original bible because the actress has been so good and popular. -- Chelsea is flat-out embarrassing in her thirst for Madison. In addition, I see no way Dr. Montgomery would be good with going live on Chelsea's IG. -- Why is Dani acting like she never ate at Orphey Gene's before? Are they serious with this? -- Good scenes with Anita, Tracy, and Sharon, and I appreciated Tracy's dialogue referring to "us 4 little colored girls." Nice nod to history. Then they wrecked it with another reference to "Articulettes Strong," which makes me cringe. -- Ever notice the staircase in the Dupree mansion's foyer? I can't get over how narrow those steps look.
