I honestly wasn't expecting them to get into it with such ferocity. I mean coming from Aviva I wasn't entirely shocked that she was capable of going there...but Carole really surprised me with how adamant she was in her career as a writer and how she made credible digs at Aviva at the same time. Plus she called her psycho and a "b*tch". I was like OMG...next week looks hype.

Ramona does have a point tho that Carole's career has been the one constant in her life so it does make sense that she would defend it to the death.

Next week looks AMAZING for NYC. When Carole grabbed Aviva's face she looked like she wanted to go Nene-on-Kim on her. Aviva is just so nasty! I LOVE HER! It takes very little to set her off and then she is VICIOUS! I couldn't believe the way she came after Carole. It was clear that Carole wasn't insulting her with the ghostwriter reference since AVIVA IS NOT A WRITER. And I absolutely believe Carole when she says Aviva had ASKED HER to find a co-writer, hence why she brought it up. Aviva is VERY sneaky and she doesn't need the truth on her side to adamantly state things. I just can't believe they're getting crunk so fast. And I LOVE that it feels natural and not forced.

Other highlights are Heather, who is just killing it at life! Holla! the stuff with her son is VERY real and heart-wrenching and I love that she pays tribute to the sons donor. This reminds me of Aviva with the charity (for the children who are missing legs!) last season. Because of how these issues affected these women you actually believe that they're truly down for these causes and not doing it for publicity.

Another scene I can't wait for is Avery going to college. I have been riding with Avery since season one. She's a mini-Ramona in looks, but *so* different in personality. It's going to be so sad to see her leave. THIS is a Real Housechild. We've seen so many be obnoxious and it's nice to see one that is real and relatable like Avery. !@#$%^&*] Yolanda and her kids, I'm Team Avery over every Housechild. Seeing Ramona so emotional over her leaving is giving me life. Again, this just feels real and they're filming at the perfect time. Ramona is the MVP of this season so far for presenting a new side of herself and it not coming off forced.

Overall I give RHONY the MVP for Comeback Kid. They are WORKING it this season and it doesn't feel forced or desperate. I HOPE the ratings go up. IMO having 3 Housewives shows at once is a huge mistake. I hope the ratings go up once it's just ATL is gone.

Chris you are so right about Avery. She's like Teresa's girls on New Jersey. I feel especially connect to them and wish only the best for them as they move onto the next stage of life. I feel like I've watched them grow up right on television (Gia, trifling heffa Miliana, Audriana, and the quiet one who's name always escapes my memory)...

I'm fully expecting waterworks during the Ramona/Avery goodbye scene.....

And yes Aviva is so the white version of NayNay...b*tch went from zero to 10 in less than 1 millisecond and I LOVE IT. She absolutely has no shame either cuz if she's lying she's one of the best people on the planet at it.

I think that Bravo has dropped the ball big time with RHONY. Not only did they bench it for over a year, killing any momentum the show was building at the end of season 5, but they placed the show on Tuesday which is not their best night for ratings.

Why didn't Bravo place the show after Atlanta or BH? Maybe get some of those viewers?

While the other Housewife shows have evolved into trashy behavior (yet Atlanta has enough fun and interesting characters to counterbalance any trashy tendencies), I don't see New York in the same boat yet. Maybe season 6 will be that season.

I can't believe its been 4 days since the RHoBH reunion and I still haven't had a desire to post about it. Talk about boring. The way everyone would talk over Lisa and Joyce when they were trying to answer questions was obnoxious. And Andy is such an annoying host. He did not handle this reunion well at all.

I am however LOVING the new preview clip for Atlanta! Kenya to Phaedra: "If you're feeling froggy, jump!" It seems Gregg comes for Peter over his and Nene's argument at the charity event. Oh, Gregg. We know Nene probably gave you a talking to for not doing anything and this is just your chance to rectify that. I get it. She's your wife and you are her husband, you have to defend the other no matter what. But I'm sorry, Nene came up into Peter's face not vice versa. Tame the Neigh Neigh next time she tries to get crunk with one of her supposed best friends husbands. Bloop!

Yaaassss!!! I love me some Aviva too. She's like the Kenya of NYC. Messy. Loony. Delusional. Not afraid to go against the fray and ruffle feathers. Aviva is going to be the catalyst that revives this show. I'm hoping her and Ramona do mend fences and team up and take on Carloe and Heather, both who grate my nerves (especially Heather, who is now trying to become "street" because she worked for Diddy's punk ass once upon a time rolleyes.gif).

Long live Queen Aviva. wub.png

I've only ever seen a couple episodes of RHoNY season 5 and then watched the reunions so I probably don't have all the information to form a respectable opinion but who cares I'll give it anyways! I can kinda see things from Aviva's point of view and Carole's. Aviva does come off a bit cooky and insincere at times but I can't help but feel bad for her. She seems to be very socially awkward and I couldn't even begin to imagine what losing her leg did to her emotionally as well as mentally. Carole I like but there is just something about her that I don't love. I don't want to rag on this just because I don't know if she stepped on a land mine or something but whats up with her mouth? The way she talks and eats is just so distracting to me. And she did technically bring up the ghost writer thing first to Aviva who only returned the favor so I don't really understand what the big deal is. However, Aviva totally could've taken this situation and garnered sympathy from me if she didn't resort to mean girl "word on the street" schtick and start saying all that she's heard about Carole's career. I really don't know who I'm going to root for next week.

And I really do love the new girl. It was nice to see that she lived in such a modest home. She's friends with Brandi? Blech.

Loving this season, right out of the gate we have a fun to watch bit of drama between Carole and crazy ass Aviva. Next week looks epic with Carole grabbing Aviva's face and then Avery going to college.

Ramona and Sonja are still incredibly fun to watch for me. I'm looking forward to Luann swinging into the show again too. This season just seems incredibly well edited, focused and well shot.

I'm not sold on the new girl yet, but I'm sure I'll warm up to her once she becomes part of the drama, instead of just reacting to other people's tiffs and pretending like she cares.

I love Carole. The only thing I will say is that her motive to be on a Real Housewives show is more apparent than anyone else. (I get it. It's not 2008 anymore, and they're not aspiring actors trying to get exposure on a reality show. 95% of all Housewives are trying to promote some shiny piece of crap to sell). She's selling books and good for her. But she doesn't seem like the type to usually sign up for this sort of thing. Again, I love her, and she's a great find and has become one of the favorites on this new NYC cast.

Carole bringing up the ghostwriter thing makes perfect sense considering the entire time Aviva was sucking up Carole's ass she never mentioned writing or being a writer. This is obviously a book deal that was given to her based on her appearance on the show. It's perfectly reasonable to hire a writer to co-write you book when you aren't a writer. Every non-Carole housewife (except Simon & Alex who co-wrote their book) had a ghostwriter or a co-writer. Most celebrities have co-writers are ghostwriters, yet we're meant to believe Aviva wrote hers by herself? I just don't buy it.

    • Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.
    • This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

    • Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.  
    • It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
