Meanwhile Jaq was looking fab

IA with Albie. Lapband Manzo is a bitch. I was growing tired of her on RHoNJ, but she's gotten worse since. Like bitch, f--k off

Caroline's a damn hypocrite though yelling at Albie and telling him never to say he doesn't want a relationship with his sister. Bitch, fix the relationship YOU have with your own

Problem with Jersey this season was that it seemed like I was watching several different shows.. where none of the parts fit together.

Dina's show was more the old format of housewives with her day to day life with her daughter, assitant, being a friend to teresa, etc.

Theresa G. was trying to paint a picture of her and her hubby trying to soldier on.. but the problem was that she and hubby were at fault.. Bravo miscalculated this one.. and I don't understand how one could be surprised at the backlash.

I'm not exactly sure what Melissa was trying to present.. except it was a weird hybrid of the old and new format of the housewife franchise.. that didn't exactly fit.

The jersey twins and Amber were acting as if they were in a spoof of a bad Jersey show.

To make matters worse, producers quickly inserted scenes of Jacqueline/Kathy/Rosie and it felt like a whole new show altogether.

I admit I was annoyed at producers editing the second half of season 9 of the OC.. but at least they got 18 episodes (not including reunions/lost footage).. and there was a coherent story thread or two.. along with scenes of the housewives with family/friends.

But after seeing the mess that was season 6 of Jersey... OC season 9 was flawless editing wise in comparison.

Well said, Soaplovers. God, the 3 new ones and their families tried way too hard. And you're right about the OC comparison. A through line was present and strong, even with the questionable editing of Lizzie and Danielle (?). I forget the 'friends of' names sometimes if they're a total non-factor.

I just looked at the original link where this came from and Nene didnt confirm sh-t! She says there isnt a million dollar offer on the table (duh! She wouldnt be getting one for season 7 now) and she if there were, she wouldnt take it. We're like 7-8 months before she even would need to make a decision about that so alot can change. Like you, I'll beleive it when I see it

    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
