Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

I always knew that Vicki and Tamra would reunite. They always do. However, I don't believe they'll ever be as close as before. I think the only reason Tamra made up with Vicki (and Heather too) b/c despite Vicki catching flack for the Brooks situation, they did too. 

 

I don't believe Shannon has forgiven Vicki despite photos. She'll always hold a grudge against with Vicki. She's just going against the grain b/c she knows she'll quickly be the target if she doesn't. 

 

Seriously though, I don't expect much from this upcoming season of RHOC. I still feel like they should've brought back Gretchen, Alexis, and Lizzie to stir the pot. All three of those women supported Vicki openly post season and all of them have beef with the other three aforementioned. Gretchen and Tamra can't stand each other. Alexis still loathes Tamra. Lizzie and Shannon fell out when Lizzie supported Vicki. Alexis and Heather never liked each other... So much potential if Bravo just brought those women back. Plus, I would've loved to seen Alexis and Gretchen patch up their friendship, AND watched the budding friendship with Gretchen and Lizzie, who do business together. You know Tamra would've seethed over the young, gorgeous Lizzie and Gretchen bonding and being everything Tamra isn't. 

 

With Dallas, it is somewhat becoming interesting but not enough to be must see for me. I think they'll probably be like Potomac when it gets good at the reunion. However, Dallas doesn't get a fraction of the ratings that Potomac did. They've been below a 1.0 since the first episode. I don't see Bravo going ahead with a season 2. Still think they should've revived Miami, which was making more than what Dallas does.

Dallas has improved a lot from its boring start, yet the ratings continue to slide (downward trajectory from episode one...) so I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't renewed. 

 

A problem with the show is much of the cast isn't likeable. Between Leeanne and Brandi I can't root for either of them. Stephanie isn't very interesting, though she's nice. Cari is a pistol but I don't find her likeable either given that she basically said she stalked her (then married) boss, got him into shape and then married him. 

 

Tiffany is the most likeable and I think would have been a great choice on another franchise - like OC, because she can throw down but has a sense of humour. 

 

With OC of course Vicki is back with the group - those women know the pecking order and while it must drive Tamra nuts, Vicki is the top dog and she always will be. I wondet what this season holds for Shannon - she did just sell her house for way under the asking price. I just wish they'd get Jeana Keough back! 

 

NYC this week was a lot of what we saw last week...Bethenny is there solely for Skinny Girl Product Placement. Dorinda is a mess and needs to dump John immediately. Ramona is likeable. Carole shouldn't be on the show and brings nothing to the table. Jules is a bore. LuAnn is like a pot on the stove simmering away - you know her conflict with Bethenny is coming...and then there is Sonja and her Tipsy Girl crap. I don't blame Bethenny for cutting her off at the knees, even though it isn't really Sonja's product, she's just repping it (it's really that Peter dude)...Sonja is a nice woman, she just has no sense. She needs to simplify her life and take a personal finance course.

RHOCheshire s3e7:

 

Ampika: I was moved by her honesty this episode. I understand why Ampika has a wall up with these group of women b/c they are judgmental and don't try and understand her. I do think the only two she's been able let her guard with are Magali and Lauren. She can't really do so with Lauren b/c she is occupied with her own issues. Magali really needs to come back and be here for Ampika. 

 

Misse: Yup. This bitch is thisclose to surpassing Dawn in the dislike department on this show. She was an utter judgmental cow on tonight's episode. It all makes total sense b/c she's so insecure that she'll lose her man to another woman. It ain't gonna be Ampika. Plz get rid of Misse. 

 

Stacey: Meddlesome, but it makes total sense as to why. Her saying her husband works all the time highlighted why she is always up in other's Koolaid. I wouldn't be surprised if her man is fooling around on her.  

 

Leanne: Again, I am gradually growing to like her this season now that she isn't an extension of Dawn. I do appreciate that she was the only one defending and understanding Ampika. 

 

Seema: I still like Seema, but she was a bit of a twat tonight. Her redeeming quality was that she was sympathetic to Ampika. I do think she likes Ampika but doesn't know how to take her. 

 

Dawn: Meh... I grew tired of her whining over the Paris trip. It ain't that damn serious, and nobody is trying to take Leanne from you. If anything, Leanne is trying to run far away from you now that your common enemy (Magali) is off the show. 

 

Lauren: Good to see her find some joy and fun while going through hard times. Lauren is a trooper. She always keeps her head up and stays optimistic. Glad she is not making a big deal out the Paris trip. If you've been there, you've done that. 

 

Tanya: Was she even on tonight?

@Nothin'ButAttitude I totally agree with your assessment except Misse has easily surpassed Dawn in the 'bitch' department - if there's one kinda bitch I don't like it's a humourless bitch and one thing we can say for 'ol Dawn is she can laugh at herself and has a degree of self awareness. The same cannot be said for Misse. I didn't like her from day one and I've been proven correct. She's a nasty, stupid, insecure cow. And what a snob - for no good reason.

 

Stacey is dull and pointless. She can go with Misse next season. I agree she's busy in other people's lives because she has nothing going on in her own. 

 

Lauren is a tough cookie. She sticks to Princess Margaret's adage: never complain, never explain, never apologize. She just keeps on moving forward. It'll serve her well. 

 

Tanya is pointless this season. The baby weight gain has exaggerated her filler injections bizarrely.

Y'all - LeeAnne is reminding me of Danielle Staub - bitch is crazy.  Tiffany is like her Jacqueline.  I felt bad for Marie - she's too sweet to deal with their bat sh!t crazy asses.  

 

Cary is sort of the outsider in this series, but I really enjoy her.  She belongs in NYC or Beverly Hills.  Bitch is  rich.

Leeanne IS crazy...but I was also sort of rooting for her with the Dallas worthy line "I'm not having a nervous breakdown! I'm PISSED as HELL!"

 

I don't find Marie sweet at all. She's talking crap behind someone's back who she apparently has known socially for 20 years and didn't bat at an eye lying right to her face while Bravo provided us with handy flashbacks.

 

Cary is an outsider but she's also a straight up gold digger and ice cold to the core if anyone crossed her.

 

I still think Tiffany would make a great fit on OC.

Wow. Just wow. IMO, this reunion is up there with RHOA s4 & RHONY s3. Just hilarious and classic. 

 

Gina: You just had to know that this was Gina's favorite reunion b/c for once she got to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. For once, she wasn't in the hot seat. I do side with Gina in the Gamble situation, but Gina should've just apologized (convincingly) even if she didn't mean it. She did come off as a bit of a twat blowing Gamble off. However, Gina using this platform correctly should be commended, and I think that's where a lot of the women's hatred come from. It was good to see her at the reunion get along with everyone. Oh and she needs to stop blaming editing. I think she finally grasped that at the end though.

 

Suzie: I know many didn't like Suzie but I enjoyed her ass. Yeah, she wasn't as present as many would've liked but she played an pivotal role this reason. She gave us all insight as to who Lydia truly is. I gagged when she dropped that nugget that Joanna used to work for her before Lydia. Even though Suzie didn't wanna say Lydia poached her, it is obvious Lydia most likely did. It was funny too when Gamble called Suzie out on her spreading the Shane Warne gossip when Suzie 'forgot' she did so. I think Suzie will come out more in her second season.

 

GambleI still like Gamble but she did annoy me at the reunion. She did try and play the 'wounded pigeon' role this season, and I was happy Gina called her on it. Gamble really made something small into something major. She did score MAJOR points with me when she called the 'trinity' (Jackie/Janet/Chyka) out on them all having a pact and traditionally being unison, which impacts the entire group. 

 

ChykaHer body language just showed she was over this group and over all these women. Chyka was here for nobody, not even her good mates, Jackie and Janet. She will be missed. 

 

Pettifleur:  Oh, Pettifleur! She was the gift that kept on giving this reunion. She may be vile at times, but the b-tch was hilarious. That pillow exchange between her and Janet had me rolling. I also enjoyed her calling Jackie out on her sh-t too. Jackie is just as messy as those she stays accusing. I don't believe that Pettifleur had work done either. I think the other women are pissed that Pettifleur is snatch from head to toe. She was the best dressed at the reunion (IMO). Her body is banging. Plus, some people do lose weight in their face after making lifestyle changes. 

 

Janet: Janet can p-ss me of at times but I find her funny at times. Even though it was funny, her calling Lydia "a dumb, fat b*tch" was low. It didn't do Janet any justice, and I think she came undone at the reunion. Since season 1, she always called Gina out for being malicious, but got right down there in the gutter tonight as well. I think a lot of her actions may come back and bite her down the road. Did you all also catch how Janet was not pleased that Chyka said she have forgiven Lydia? Mmmm.... 

 

Jackie: Much like Jackie, she became undone tonight. She was another that stayed on Gina's ass the past two season about her being mean when she acted no better this entire season and at the reunion. Her tears did nothing for me. Jackie 'cried' because her ass was caught; she had to backtrack. She saw the commentary of Gina and Chyka and realized she was a big ass hypocrite too, and no one was checking for that ass. I don't believe Jackie when she said she's never gossip before. She's lying. She stayed gossiping about Gina in season 1, and last season she stayed gossiping about Pettifleur and Gamble too. Cut the bullsh*t. 

 

Lydia: Yet again, Lydia slithered out of her punishment. Yeah, the women know what she is capable of now but she didn't get punished enough. Glad that Gamble called Lydia out for being 'casually racist' because she is. 

 

Good ending to a great season. This season surpassed all the American franchises of Housewives with less episodes and more drama. 

 

I LOVE Alex Perry hosting the reunion b/c he doesn't get involved and he calls all the women on their sh*t. 

 

If Bravo were smart, they'd give Melbourne another run b/c this season blows all the other shows out the water.

OMG NBA I love you! I've been waiting forever for this Reunion to be released! 

 

I cannot believe how streamlined that was. Just ONE Reunion episode -- not three -- and pretty much all the major hits were covered.

 

First of all, bow down to Alex "Care Factor Zero/I'm Not a Sex Worker" PerryHis hosting puts Andy Cohen to shame. Yes, he does seem to adore Janet the most, but he was fair with everybody and let everyone speak their peace and even tried to moderate the shouting. When he walked off and then came back and tore them all a new one I almost cried:

 

"When you all talk AT THE SAME TIME, we get JACK. SH!T. Nothing. It's the third fuckin series! You know that! But no, jump in, everybody have a go... Jesus! What is the matter with you? OK, shut up, let's get this next one out."

 

Gina: I love Gina but she was dismissive of Gamble's feelings and she shouldn't be. I love their friendship but it is clear that Gina is the more powerful one and views Gamble's friendship as one of many, whereas Gamble obviously looks up to GIna. It's too bad, because I do think Gina has let the fame go to her head a bit.

 

Gamble: I love Gamble a LOT and always find myself sympathetic of her feelings. I can see she is struggling to maintain a friendship with Gina that is both give and take and on an equal par. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a friendship that Gina necessarily cares about and therefore it will lapse. And that's a pity because not all friendships are the same, and Gamble is probably a more loyal ally than a lot of Gina's tagalongs. I didn't particularly like Gamble standing up for Lydia tho. What is there to defend? Lydia is a fake and a snake.

 

Susie: Susie is dull but direct, to the point, completely true to herself, and badly needed on a show like this. The way she outed Lydia for the rat she was concise and perfect. Other than that, I couldn't care less about her or her dating life.

 

Janet: I can always count on Janet to bring it at these Reunions! Yes, the "you dumb, fat bitch" was way personal about Lydia. Doesn't mean it's not true, however.

 

Pettifleur: At the end of the season it looked like Pettifleur, after being on the outs with everybody, was starting to gain some ounce of self-awareness. Oh well, looks like she has completely regressed on that personal growth. What a delusional nut. Still thinks she is on a fabulosity par with Joan Collins when she is at best a Z list wannabe. She just sounds ridiculous and vulgar. BTW, Janet's imitation of her ("Who begs to diffah? Why do you need Spanx if you are in da best shape of your life?") was uncanny!

 

Jackie: I know she's an acquired taste. But I like her and think she is genuine on the whole. Yes, she is self-righteous, and it will be interesting to see what happens when she is eventually called out on her own mistakes. But she was the only one (along with Janet) willing to call out Lydia for the slime she is. Kudos.

 

Chyka: I love her. Even though she barely spoke, she is clearly OVAH everyone and doesn't want to talk anymore about the rumors nobody can talk about. Obvs there must be gay rumors regarding Bruce. I don't think he is gay BTW. But she is done, and she wants to protect her family and her business. If RHoMelbourne returns for a season 4, I will miss her.

 

Lydia: WTF was she wearing? She looked like a bride wearing a turtleneck who had been attacked by dogs on the way to the church. She got off easy considering, but I guess that was thanks to "legal issues" nobody is allowed to mention. Lydia is also the most unconvincing liar known to man. I don't think anybody believed that wet denial about not sleeping with Shane Warne.

 

All in all... I hope RHOM will be back but it felt a little like goodbye so I don't know. Still, it has been my favorite RH franchise this year by a country mile. Just the way they have each other pegged is so glorious.

    • Okay, here's another way to access the drag segment we've been working on the IDs for.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJR8Ymhpx22/ The 14th Annual Soap Opera Digest Awards 1998 The Opening & the First Segment Guys in Drag on Daytime AW Cass & Jake DAYS Ivan GH Kevin & Mac BEACH Eddie
    • In all fairness, during the 90s (post Rex's death) Kay was often rarely onscreen except for visiting Nikki on the Newman ranch and it would have sense that she was BUSY at Chancellor Industries the rest of the time...

    • Don't even put that idea out there!  
    • I liked the food poisoning angle on Thursday because I said beforehand that I would be annoyed if Vanessa was not there at her BFF's party. And I loved they already planned ahead in the dialogue. lol.   But watching the scene (and a bit of a rewind), it hit me. Wait is she...??? Ooo gurrrl. lol. 
    • I'm not at all surprised the 10 lowest-rated episodes are all from Season Seven. Moving The Golden Girls from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m. was foolish.
    • As the folklore goes, Love Boat episodes generally had one "heart" story, one "laughs" story, and one "tears" story. I guess Hotel just stuck with "heart" and "tears."
    • I thought food poisoning was an odd reason for Vanessa to miss the party.  That's why I appreciate reading everyone's comments and theories on this thread.  Oh!!  It hadn't occurred to me to speculate that she might be pregnant. I figured that she and Doug ate different things.  But pregnancy fits better.  I did think Shanice's dialogue delivery was slightly awkward (unusual for her)... but that would make sense if Shanice knew Vanessa had a pregnancy test but Vanessa said don't tell Doug.  I love all this theorizing/speculating, especially since we have no idea what will happen.
    • I want that as well, but given how much I've been playing catch-up during some personal/family drama, it's been background music with very little to hold my interest. Then I saw a spoiler and rolled my eyes.   Very. I guess JG is hitting another of his low points. 
    • Well...unexpected wiggle room is still wiggle room.   I went back and finally rewatched Friday's episode (along with Thursday's). And God, how those episodes flowed. It did help that Zimmerman did the breakdowns for both so the plot threads were cohesive. I do wonder if she did it today as well. Martin and Tate also of course did good scripts. And I might have to take back my earlier comment about the crowd. While it was not like Nicole's Award Event where I felt there were more extras (and was in the minority on that), I felt this one did not have enough (also in the minority). But on a rewatch, I did like that Production actually did a fairly decent job of covering it up so kudos.    I also wanted to take the moment to say the majority of the week before last (and this past week) were full of cliffhangers. Perhaps not what is used to, but they were there. And I loved that since the majority of said cliffhangers were connected to Silk Press Sheila, it gave an intensity and build to the last week leading to this superb episode that gave us not only an old school soap reveal (complete with moments to let the scenes breathe, but annoyed in how other scenes which were also good did not compare...another sign of knowing when a reveal is great) but, THREE cliffhangers!!! Well-done, Cliffhanger Friday!!!   Ms. Mann and Ms. Michelle were clearly the stars. I've said it once someone mentioned it and I'll say it again...Ambyr just gives so much SMG's version of Kendall on AMC in Eva, and I love that. And that reveal on Silk Press Sheila...WOW. Great to have confirmation that BILL was the lawyer. Even better to see Silk Press interacting with all of the Duprees and not being a bit scared. And yes, I caught that she was preggers at the same time as Nicole. I also caught in the Martin vs Ted scene when he was talking about the timeline was another clue...since we discussed the timeline during Kat's birthday party episodes and how odd it was that Silk Press Sheila would celebrate Eva's birthday if the weeks were off. UNLESS...they're not. I just feel they would not be mentioning it unless SilkPress has a 90s DAYS Sami Trump card incoming. And 90s DAYS Sami Brady ALWAYS had a trump card. So...looking forward to today. lol.    I'm also going to be in the minority about the next thought. I thought Maurice did a good job as Ted in the reveal scenes. Though I do agree that compared to everyone else...even his FOINE doctor friend...he was the weak leak. DD was giving and she was in the background reacting. The Avengers...I mean...the Duprees closing ranks...was great and also showed how in sync the actors were. Naomi being sure Chels was not filming THIS time was a hoot. And I lived for Kat's shade among the mess. I'm happy that we are here at this reveal with OriginalTed since the rumor (marking preemptions) we are a little under two weeks to go before he's out.   I liked the layers. One thing that I like about this show. We usually mention something here and then the show writers have it mentioned either in episode or immediately in the next. The SilkPress/Eva picture last week. Where is Naomi/Vanessa this week of episodes. And they got to it. Well-played. I also like the reveal that Martin knew SilkPress as a kid, calling back to that weird scene with the brownie. I mentioned the Bill-as-Lawyer scene, calling back to Bill/Vernon's first alone scene. The reveal of all of SilkPress's many names. The fact that Andre and Dani continue to grow closer and closer and had a near-miss...something this show knows how to do extremely well for me. Their near-misses built up the drama and story, and I see how much I'm invested when we have them. The whole Silk Press Sheila story being the best example.    I see from a few of the comments some of you all are already thinking about those consequences toward Bill that I was thinking about on Friday.

           And while I did not like the Vanessa/Doug scenes at first view...though I love they followed up on her food poisoning phone call on Thursday...I liked it on second watch. Partly because it gave another hint that Doug has some idea of what Vanessa is doing...if not who.  Partly because I had assumed that Doug got poisoned, too. Seeing it was just Vanessa confused me since I thought they were out at dinner pre-party. That said...I go back to my original thought in that moment. Has Vanessa being having all this sex without protection and we are going to get a WTD with Doug, Diego, and whoever else she has been with? Uh oh?    And I continue to also love how flashbacks are used. Rare do they show a flashback to a prior episode unless it's important so those are well done. And then you have the flashbacks like the one with Bill/Dani that informs the audience. And I loved that green dress. But tbf, I loved the feistiness of her red dress. Andre was not alone in taking her in.    And someone mentioned it the other day and I wanted to echo it. One thing I like about this show that I don't see much in the other soaps to this degree has been that several of the characters have their own personal style for sure, but the men's style really have stood out for me since its started. Ted being a clear example with his turtlenecks and general...for lack of better word at the moment manly...to him. I like that about the men where other men styles on other soaps just blend together.    Looking forward to Kat v Eva, Anita vs Silk Press Sheila, and Nicole vs Ted today.    Did I mention I was happy Clifton was back?  
    • I’ll take a pass on the lecture, because you've overestimated my concern with your feedback, but thanks for the enthusiasm. Your claims of not wanting to get into an argument over every post are unfortunately voided by your impulsive need to add into discussions that are none of your concern. Finally, you may wish to check the definition of coy, because you've used it incorrectly twice in reference to my writing.  I promise that I do not intend to be coy with you.  Or don't look it up, and just continue to be incorrect, as usual.  I only ask that if you cannot control yourself, please stop tagging me.
