Melbourne: 

 

Boy am I glad they are back. But a lot has sure changed...

 

It saddens me to see Gamble/Gina's friendship crumble, but I can understand why. Gamble is a bit of a famewhore and it has always been obvious. I think because Pettifleur was such a b-tch that a lot of Gamble's shortcomings got covered up or swept under the rug. This season is gonna be the downfall of Gamble. She's too aware of the cameras and thirsts for attention. I'm team Gina on the matter. If Gamble was truly ever Gina's friend, she would've reached out and attended Gina's dad wake and funeral. 

 

Venus is gorgeous, but I wanna see a pic of her old self, which she claims to be "ugly." While it might be a bit farfetched, a part of me wonders if Venus has issues with her Arabic background. I do think she's gonna pan out to be a great addition to the show. I can see how she and Gina bonded--not only by their legal backgrounds, but Venus is level-headed much like Gina.

 

Lydia won me over this episode. I never cared for Lydia much in the past (especially, season 1), but I thought it was nice how she came to Gina's aid during her time of need. I still don't care about her damn dog though. 

 

Jackie...

 Never liked this heffa. Never will. Jackie is such a liar and full of crap, and I enjoyed when Lydia called her on it. Jackie saying she doesn't like calling people in front of a crowd was hilarious. The same Jackie that stayed calling Gina out for years in front of people? I can remember when she and Gina had their last big blowout in that restaurant and she tried calling Gina out. Hell, last year she called Lydia out in the finale and alleged the woman was sleeping around. Jackie is a trip. 

 

Janet is OK. I'm always on the fence with her. Sometimes, she enjoyable. Other times, she annoys me. She doesn't grate my nerves like Jackie though. 

 

I'm excited for Gamble v. Venus AND Gamble v. Gina next week. Is it just me or does Sally [who premieres next week] gives off knockoff Chyka vibes? Same haircut, in the same industry (fashion), same hair color... Venus does mirror Pettifleur a bit too, but she's more relaxed. Production was sneaky with that.

MELBOURNE

 

Totally agree @Nothin'ButAttitude it's so good to have this franchise back. It feels so much more organically produced than other franchises.

 

I'm not sold on Lydia though. She's still an absolute fake. That's nice that she's admitted she's fat and happy.

 

Venus is very smart and level, but she's gone so overboard with the plastic surgery and makeup and tinted contact lenses - she looks like a different species. She looked like Shirley Eaton - the actress painted gold in the James Bond film Goldfinger

 

Gamble and Gina's friendship imploding isn't a surprise. They're competitive personalities and that was always going to be a liability. Gina is still loads of fun and ballsy as heck. Gamble has drunk her own Kool-Aid.

 

Jackie doesn't annoy me. She's a big personality and I find her relatively harmless. She's definitely pushy and vulgar, but that's not the biggest sin. 

 

I love Janet. Always have. She is a true Australian sheila. Always good for a giggle and a gossip.

I probably say it after every Jersey episode, but I’m totally over and done with Dolores and Siggy. It shouldn’t have to take talking to Frank Sr. For them to realize supporting Kim D., is the same as co-signing what she says. I wish Dolores would just admit she doesn’t actually like Teresa and that they were just in the same circle for 20 years.

 

This condensed season has really given Jersey new life though to be honest, it’s been a great season and Margaret is the best newcomer since Dorinda on NYC.

Aw that gets me excited for the next season of RHONY. Lindsay Lohan, yikes, poor thing aged herself by 30 years with all that partying... 

 

I like Margaret, but she's not in the same league as Queen Dorinda. Give her another season and maybe she'll elevate her status

I never liked Lydia but she really touched me how she was there for Gina in her time of need. Shocked me bc she always comes across as a self asborbed ditz but she stepped up in a big way

 

I continue to love Gina's drag queen makeup. She's a mess...lol

 

Gamble...Im glad it looks like she is being exposed bc I never liked her

 

Jackie...boring

 

Venus surpised me bc she doesnt look smart, but Im intrigued by her

 

Overall lowkey premiere that did not need to be as long as it was, but they set the seeds for future storylines here

It's nice to see Lydia/Gina having a close moment... they started the series as friends for years..and never really recovered after all the cheap that happened in season 1.

 

While I do like Gina, she isn't perfect and I think her personality can turn people off....and I think that's what happened with Gamble/Gina.

and every week I find myself agreeing with you. As Ive said before I dont usually say friends need to choose sides but they do here. I cant beleive Dolores and Siggy would film with Kim D again and give the cheating rumors a platform. I dont see why they couldnt just write Kim a check and call it a day. One thing's for sure. Sh-t always goes down at the Posh fashion show

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
