Members Angela Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I took it the same way Carlton did. By using God, she's comparing what she has to forgive or go through with Brandi to what God had to forgive or went through with sacrificing the life of Jesus for the sinful humans who basically murdered him. She is, more or less, comparing herself to God. People go for Lisa every year. I think Andy likes it because he usually participates in that. That said, the Brandi/Lisa stuff is lightweight. It's like a kid insinuating their "controlling" mother is responsible for everything bad in her life phase EXCEPT their not mother/daughter SO they probably won't bounce back from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I took it as her saying - if God (her God) can forgive the world for what was done to His son, why can't she forgive some idiot? If anything I felt like she was saying she's not Him and she should be more like Him. I can see why people don't like Joyce (prissy, pageant, etc.) but I think Carlton is off-base.

Members DaytimeFan Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yes, the reunions really are 'Pile on Lisa' events and Andy is always there doing it...which I always find kind of odd given that he seems to like her a lot and credits her with RHOBH's success (much to Kyle's chagrin). The issue is, whenever people go after Lisa, it doesn't end well for them. Kyle, Adrienne, Faye, Dana...they all crossed her and paid for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Well if it gets Brandi off the show, I'm all for it. This is easily the least glamorous season of the show for the franchise that's supposed to be about rich people problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 It has seriously deteriorated visually...considering it was visually the most appealing, so much so that the executives at RHOV consulted with the producers of RHOBH to get the production model right (with glorious results), it has really deteriorated...and why is that? Carlton's house looks like a half empty Broyhill showroom, Brandi's (rented) house is a half empty Ikea filled dump, Kim's (rented?) house is a dump filled with relics of her 1990s wealth, Kyle's store looks like a Marshall's and we have only seen Joyce's house once when she was cooking her family breakfast...that leaves only Lisa and Yolanda, and they live fabulously...but 2/6 isn't enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Even that Palm Springs trip was completely meh, when you think of how the series began with a trip to Vegas with the Maloof treatment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) LOL at that Love me some Joyce. What a great line Lisa = FAB! Edited January 10, 2014 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Watching Taylor on VH1's Couples Therapy and she's a much more entertaining drunk than Brandi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I agree. Carlton is a miserable a-hole who overanalyzes everything Joyce and Kyle do. It was hilarious at first but shes doing too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) THAT is how you do 54. And in case anyone cares to know how she does it: Lisa admits to "a lot" of Botox, "a little" filler, topical Retin-A and a physical sunscreen.

Members Chris B Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'm re-watching season five of RHONY and in the beginning it is much worse than I remembered. As someone whose seen the season the non-introduction of the newbies is fine, but how did they expect people to understand during the first airing? I think once they saw things pick up mid-season they should've edited more of this stuff out and let the season go longer with the drama towards the end. LuAnn's entire existence in these early episodes is ridiculous. She's clearly acting and the "feud" with Ramona is clearly scripted. She didn't serve a purpose till the pirate story. I'm four episodes in and the show is FINALLY picking up steam as they prepare to go to London. I would've condensed the first 3 episodes into one (cutting most of LuAnn's scenes, focus in on Heather vs Ramona, giving proper intro's to the 3 newbies), then keep the third episodeas prepping for London (with more Heather vs Ramona, since the latter wasn't invited), then once they get to London things really kicked off. Editing is REALLY important and the people who produced this season got it ALL WRONG. I also feel like although I liked Cindy, how the !@#$%^&*] do you replace Bethenny with Cindy? They serve two COMPLETELY different purposes. If anything, looking at Blood, Sweat & Heels, one of those ladies would've been more suitable to replace Bethenny. Still young and not as established, looking for love and with a biting tongue. Things could've been so different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 OMG, I don't know if intentional or not but this line SLAYED me....LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 EXACTLY!!! I hope they actually do work it all out, but I worry. And if Brandi goes there, well...see the bold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 That was intentional and that was a fact LOL. It's completely threw the chemistry off not having a Bethenny type on the show. I actually like Cindy's tired ass, but she is not what you look for to replace Bethenny. Although she is older, Carole could work as a Bethenny replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I think that the difference between Aviva and Luann is Avivas personal life is filmed and I do t think Luanne's is. Yeah. Exactly what I was thinking. It a with her god comment. She should really go reread that bible. Pretty sure she missed some lessons in it. Lisa I think is in an interesting place. Between the attacks on her, the rumors of her being difficult, Andy's seemingly changed view on her and the Kyle friendly edit... Idk. She def doesn't seem to be in a place of power and love of the network like the last two years. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
