Ooooo @Nothin'ButAttitude you got your Camille glamour shot!

 

This BH trailer... ok. It's not as epic as trailers of BH seasons past. However, a good trailer is not always indicative of a good season (see S4 trailer which ended with LVP dragging deeply on a cigarette amid dramatic music -- well, that was an awful season).

 

The pros

-Everything looks GORGEOUS.

-LVP is in full queen mode. It's like she has finally given herself permission to ENJOY being on top, naysayers be damned.

-Not one, not two, but THREE awesome trips. They included Japan! A country I am *obsessed* by.

-Dorit's shorter hair is fabulous, and I am really looking forward to an inside look at her swimwear line.

-Kim nowhere in sight.

-Dorit and Erika forming a friendship. Yes, I know it's wrong... but it makes for some good drama! Rinna in particular should be scared that Dorit edges her out of the Erika Jayne Fan Club.

-Erika's VT look. It's Elvira, Queen of the Night.

(This should be a con, but I enjoy the laugh).

-LVP driving away in her chauffeured Bentley, tossing her hair, while Kyle and Dorit fight over her affections.

 

The cons:

-Camille and Adrienne nowhere to be seen.

-Some of the jokes fell flat *cough*Boy George. 

-I'm not getting much of a read on the Mellencamp chick... and she looks identical to Dorit.

-Rinna pimping her talent-free crotchfruit again.

-I'm not sensing a through story or what the conflict is this season. Which usually means the conflict ain't all that.

@Cat, yes, I got my Camille glamor shot; however, they should've gone ahead and give her full-time status instead of "friend of" status. The intro is not gonna be good unless we have Camille doing the following:

It does seem to be no conflict in the trailer. I'm wondering if that's because they are hiding what's to come or that this season might be stale. I hope they are hiding some of the juicy drama to come.

"Diamonds aren't a girl's best friend. FREEDOM IS."

"... But it helps to have diamonds." 

 

That shot was straight out of Dynasty's opening credits. 

 

I hope they just want to keep a lid on the juiciness too... I'm especially hoping this Rinna-Erika blowout in Berlin is something substantial.

New Jersey:

I enjoyed yesterday's episode. The bitchiness is there but the toxicity has been dialled down a notch.

 

God help me, I was really liking Dolores this episode. She was spilling the tea about Danielle, and about Juicy Joe squeezing his juice elsewhere -- and to Tre's FACE, no less. I also was liking the way she stood up for herself. Danielle's sh*t-stirring is what she does best, but Dolores is her match and can get scrappy, too. She grew up with Teresa in Paterson. I think the two Ds match each other well on the intelligence scale (intelligence being relative in NJ). Like, Siggy and Teresa are on a par. Dolores and Danielle are a few echelons higher than that.

 

Siggy's nonsensical, passive-aggressive retreat with the Hallmark affirmations, mugs, t-shirts, divorce lawyer, and plastic surgeon.

I'm glad that a through story isn't reflected. Usually "the story" swallows up the season to the point the viewers are begging for mercy (Lyme Disease, Panty Gate, CancerGate on OC, etc).

 

Why id Teddi Mellencamp FULL TIME when she's barely in the trailer?

 That precious spot could've been saved for Camille.

 

I'm surprised Dorit is featured so heavily. She's quickly climbing the ranks.

They barely showed any conflict in the RHoBH trailer which makes its premiere in over a month excruciating! Very little Rinna. Very heavy on LVP which I like. They need just to stop trying to add a new blonde that will never last more than a season and just invite Taylor's crazy ass back. She's annoying but she's an OG.

@WTGH, thanks for sharing that new. Poor Bobby. I wish Andy/Bravo would toss poor Jill a lifeline and bring her back on NY. The woman is gonna need something to distract her if Bobby succumbs to her illness. I find it sickening that (allegedly) Ramona and Bethenny are blocking her from returning. Let the woman come back.

Respectfully, I think what Jill is going to need is grief counselling, not appearing on a reality show with screaming banshees like Frankel and Singer with the misogynist Andy Cohen in the background. 

 

Bobby always seemed like a first class person. Always kind, always calm, always good humoured. I wish, for him, peace and, for Jill, strength.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
    •   @jmgaw did not refer to Luke and Laura. Throughout 78 GH's ratings continued to rise as AW's fell. That turnaround was getting a lot of attention in the soap press with Scotty/Laura, Rick/Leslie/Monica etc . So the 90 min decision was a reaction to that. I guess the thinking was that 60 min expansion had worked so starting AW a half hour before might keep viewers from switching to GH at 3pm. I don't think anybody really thought it would work. The most sensible solution would have been to expand The Doctors and hope for a GH like turnaround, but for reasons unknown TD never went to an hour.
