I wonder if Yolanda's tired ass could end up demoted. I have a strong feeling that filming started with only Lisa Rinna as the new wife and they extended things after finding Eileen. It seems like they should be done filming by now, but they haven't even done the international trip yet.

GOD I loved Yolanda her first season on the show.

But the blatant way she came after Lisa last season -- not saying she didn't have a right to air her issues, but the way she went about it, bitching behind her back, setting up people against her really made me take Lisa's side all the more. I was so disappointed in Yolanda because I thought she was the one HW who would walk the walk after talking the talk. You know, don't talk behind people's back, say it to their face, don't bullshit etc. She took a whole season to confront Lisa and then when it wasn't working her way, she went after Ken for "shoving" her. Should a man manhandle a woman? Absolutely never. But Yolanda took something innocuous and blew it up into near-abuse -- and then backtracked at Reunion, insisting that Ken apologize to her -- but only for calling her stupid. Cover that ass, Yol.

Same. I love Lisa and stan for her, but a lot of the issues the ladies had with her last year were valid. Indeed, this is why I dislike Kyle so much -- I felt her issue was just a retread of the previous season's non-issue and an excuse to play the Poor, Put-Upon Victim which, as we all know, is Kyle's favourite role.

I could also see Lisa's side of things with her work and VPR and DWTS, she just wasn't as available to the show in person and emotionally. Things were going a new direction for her and while I don't think she feels she has outgrown the show, I do think she has outgrown the women in it.

The stuff about the tabloids we don't know (I think she said it but jokingly), and I don't think she favoured Scheana, a babyish girl and her employee, over Brandi who was probably her closest friend on the show.

The problem was the way the women went about it. Bitching on the VTs but never confronting Lisa until Puerto Rico. One thing I will give Brandi credit for is that she tried to talk with Lisa about stuff right away, but Lisa dismissed it and then Brandi got angry and lashed out. And she started bringing up the Scheana thing like it was Season 2 again. Even though in Season 3 she agreed to film with Scheana. Not saying Brandi didn't have a right to feel hurt, but when the excuse at Reunion became "when I get angry, I lash out," that's not an excuse. That's just an explanation. And it prevents Brandi from wising up and becoming more emotionally mature because "that's just the way I am." The drinking and prescription drug use adds to that and makes her come across as unstable.

Yolanda seemed to be lapping up the tension with Lisa like a cat with cream. In some of her VTs she looked positively glowing with self-righteousness. Again, what she was saying sounded well-thought out and logical, but the way she was saying it and going about it clashed with and ultimately eroded her point.

Is Bethenny returning to RHONY? http://allthingsrh.com/bethenny-frankel-talks-possibility-returning-rhony/

Just as I suspected, it sounds like they're working on a deal where she'll get her own show of some sort, but only if she re-introduces herself on RHONY and helps try to save that show. Of course I could be reading it wrong.

Thoughts?

Cancel the show. Nene is funny but she is not witty like Joan and she's not beloved like Joan. And like Cheap said, Nene is not fashionable. Nene's shoe game be on point but her outfits are basic. I swear I see Nene recycling the same three outfits, a black top and some torn up jeans. Just basic. Nene only became fashionable when Marlo took her under her wing.

Now if it's Marlo then that's another story. She's qualified.

She may be a hooker but she taught NeNe everything she knows. Without her, Nene would still be shopping out the bargain bin and hitting up the blue light special at K-Mart. Nene would also be wearing glossy yaki from the backend of a horses ass still. Marlo upgraded Nene.

And Nene was a stripper so that ain't nothing but a hop and skip from being a prostitute minus the sex.

And buddy, Nene was poppin' that coochie for profit too, which is how she landed Greg.

Marlo also made Nene's spinoff a hit. No Marlo would've resulted in that wedding special being a flop.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
