Wow! I'm really shocked Atlanta is coming back so soon after I Dream of Nene. I kinda think this is a mistake. Maybe they felt that NYC wasn't strong enough to launch right now. Either way, I need to stop complaining since I love my ATL girls so much, even with Kenya and Porsha.

If you had to grade the casts on a scale of real to fake, in terms of their relationships and stories, who would be most fake, or least fake?

Do you think a lot of the tension between the women on BH is real or is it for drama? I have to admit when I read about Lisa, Brandi, and Yolanda falling out, I thought it might be just for TV drama (since it would be the next natural "storyline," as Adrienne is gone from the show and Kyle would be isolated).

Uh oh - the ratings for I Dream of Nene aren't as huge as Bravo was hoping for... the premiere garnered ~1.5 million and a 0.7 rating 18-49.

Those numbers are basically what Tamra's wedding show received... her finale this week had just over 1.4 million with a 0.6 rating 18-49.

I bet those numbers get bigger as the show continues since the premiere was lacking some drama.

MIAMI-

Ok, first thing's first- Adriana and the 1994 issue of People Magazine, all in the name of calling Queen Lea a hypocrite. Au contraire. Did Lea hide her marriage for 4 years? No, it was 4 months. Was Lea having her friends set her up on dates with wealthy men during this time? Did Lea go on national television and whine about her fear of commitment and her lack of trust in men? Nope, none of those things. Adriana is a lot of things, but she's not dumb. She knows damn well that what Lea did 20 years ago(!) doesn't even compare to what she has done. So why put it out there? Simply put, it's an attempt to publicly humiliate Lea. For no reason. And NO, I don't buy for one second that Lea is the one who put that article out there. Did Adriana really think nobody was going to go digging after she announced her wedding in a blatant attempt to compete with Joanna? Bitch, please.

Oh goody! Marina's back in town to insult Lisa for no reason! I'm glad that Lenny stood up for his wife and put his mother in her place. There are other men out there that would do the opposite and tell his wife just to put up with it.

Marysol- LEA DOESN'T PRACTICE BLACK MAGIC! Talk about people in glass houses throwing stones, especially considering her mother. It is just obnoxious how Marysol is constantly trying to poison everyone against Lea. Get a backbone and hash out ur business with Lea yourself! Oh that's right, you don't have one of those.

I'm glad that Adriana and Lea aren't letting their feud ruin their kids' friendship. It is clear that RJ really looks up to Alex and Alex cares about RJ. Is Alex a little older than RJ or did he just hit his growth spurt first? Either way, they're adorable.

I agree with Lea that Adriana was rude in not coming to say hello and I agree Cat- you could see Lea's strained expression when she arrived, telling her about the cake. But LMAO @ Lea having Lisa, Joanna, Alexia, and Adriana come sing Happy Birthday to RJ. Awkward! The only thing that was funnier is when Romain wished Alex a Happy Birthday instead of RJ. I do love that man and his squinty hard blinking self.

Speaking of Romain, the whole Lenny inviting Romain and Frederic over to squash their fight seemed so fake and put on. It speaks to my problem with this season vs last. Last year, it seemed that all of the drama came organically and wasn't forced for the camera. It helped that many were new to the cast and it was fun watching them get to know one another- and decide whether they liked the others or not. Part of the reason this season seems this way is the fact that they cut the cast down to 5 housewives, which I think was a HUGE mistake. If they didn't want to have Ana or Marysol back as regulars, how about bringing 1 or 2 new wives in and letting the feathers fly? I think last year's 7 was perfection and though their ratings weren't huge, there was lots of buzz about the show at least. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Which is why I put much of the blame on production. I know that it was probably an impossible task for this season to live up to last season in my eyes, but I didn't expect such a steep drop in quality. What I miss MOST are all the social events we were treated to last season, and the colorful characters we were introduced to at those events. Literally every week, every episode they were going to some party or anniversary or big Miami event and it made it so much fun to watch. The best episode of the season so far for me was Alexia's Magazine Party, though I wished the entire ep focused on said party. I remain hopeful that this season will turn around, much like OC did for me- I wasn't that enthralled with their first 5 or 6 episodes either. And I'm still WAY more interested in Miami this year than New Jersey, which is a total snooze.

I will say next week looks fun, with the Fab 3's trip to LA and the sheer amazingness that is gonna be Alexia, Peter, and the Miami P.D. Not a moment too soon either.

    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   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.
