anyone notice how there are barely any storylines on this season of RHOA? I mean Kandi has the tension in her new marriage and mama drama and Phaedra has her divorce and Apollo leaving but no one else has anything. Kenya? She has nothing going on in her life. Nene? She has nothing going on in her life. Cynthia? Claudia? Poorsha? Ditto. Thankfully their interactions amongst each other is good but there isnt much to work with with these women in terms of showcasing their lives. The "stories" amount to Girl A dont like Girl B so they either have a sitdown, argue or do both. That can be entertaining i guess but it can get old fast. Im already over Nene and Cynthia's beef.

I think part of that might be a lack of "friends" this season. There were a whole bunch of them featured last year and it really helped to flesh the women out and give them new material to work with. So far this season it pretty much amounts to Demetria. Last year we had Natalie, Mynique, Mallory, Carmon, MARLO, all mixxing it up in the drama and being showcased on a semi-regular basis. I think having the supporting characters makes for a better show

I miss having all the friends of last season too. But I think that things are going to pick up (story wise) during the Puerto Rico trip because that's when the production supposedly realized what direction they wanted to go in, which was with Claudia over Porsha and Demetria. We'll see the rivalry between Nene/Claudia. The demise of Nene/Cynthia. Mama Sharon v. Joyce. And don't forget Mr. Chocolate saga is about emerge soon too. Also, based on their interaction (or lack thereof), I think we might get a surprise, which could be the demise of Phaedra/Kandi. I've yet to see them interact in recent months. Phaedra has been seen more with Nene than she has Kandi. I think there is trouble in paradise.

I get s4 vibes with this season as production didn't know what to do the first half, but once they divided into cliques (Tall v. Small in s4/The Beauties v. The Beasts this season), we'll get story.

Yeah like Cheap said, she didn't contribute that much on RHOA like she did on IDON. I felt like Nene was marginalizing her friends from IDON last season and only wanted to force Mynique on the audience, hence why she didn't mesh well. The audience already cared for Lexis, Marlo, & even that linebacker Dirty Diana. I wish those three were on this season. They'd at least drive story.

YES to Dirty Diana. I felt like her presence would have been perfect especially following Nene's fallout with Marlo and Kenya. The producers would use clips from IDON of her warning Nene about oppurtnist and she of course would be used to give Kenya and Marlo material to shade. Marlo and Diana should have both been on this year

You know why. The same reason why Nene fell out Kim, Sheree, Dwight, Marlo, and Kenya. When she feels someone can potentially threaten her shine, she drops them. Lexis gained quite the following during IDON and was most popular behind Marlo. Plus, like Marlo, Nene felt that Lexis was an "opportunist," but let's be honest--everyone is an opportunist.

I agree. Both should've been on; however, word is that Nene refused to film any scenes if Marlo was on the show at all. Andy is going to follow his "cash cow," and while he's declared he's forgiven Marlo, I don't think he really has.

Nene's a coward. She only likes having rivals that she knows she can over talk and outwit. The second she meets her match she refuses to engage with them and makes sure they won't be back for another season. This is why I have no respect for her. If you're truly a bad bitch then be about it. Otherwise get to trottin'!

Hitting the nail on the head!

True but I doubt Andy or Carlos wanted to hear the constant whining and bitching from Nene. But I hate that Bravo allows Nene to hold them hostage when they have the true power. Either cut her check when she doesn't perform all the stipulations in the contract or cut her altogether. I prefer the latter.

I know that the KKN with Claudia was filmed after Puerto Rico. I didn't know that Kandi's sex party was filmed before too. If so, it was awkward. I'm skeptical about this rumor.....

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was
