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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
