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.....

    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be.
