It was. This whole season is underwhelming as f-ck. Michael Beck needs to be fired. This is supposed to be the anniversary season and it is flat much like OC's 10th season. I don't get why these shows don't go all out that season. 

 

I think it's been reported Beck with be EP for the upcoming season of NY, which scares me. 

 

ATL needs new blood though. They need 1-2 fiery cast members to shake up this cast. 

 

Sunday's episodes was a bore b/c it was all about Cynthia's fauxmance and them begging Kim to go on a damn trip knowing she wasn't. I'm hoping this upcoming episode is the start to the season getting juicy thanks to roach-gate. I don't think this season will be any good until reunion time where I see a bloodbath occurring. 

 

Speaking of boring Housewives shows...

 

RHOBH was no better. Dorit is grating. Erika is a bore. Rinna is nonexistent. Again, why was Camille not given a diamond this season? She's given more than Erika and Rinna. 

 

Next week looks interesting as the drama starts up, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

I'm ready for Potomac & Dallas to return. I love these shows with 12 episodes a season or less.

Honestly this might be my last Atlanta season. I’ve only caught maybe half of it and it’s such a bore. I did like the vegan dinner because it had some of the lighter shade I’m used to on the show but as I’ve said before it’s hard to watch when you know the cast barely likes each other.

Eva came in guns blazing, only she was shooting with blanks!  The whole thing with Cynthia's paramour was a huge dud and it was way too soon for a newbie to jump in that way, IMHO.

 

Cynthia is Cynthia.  Not much happening, but she'd be the balance if the rest of the show was interesting.  

 

Nene was my reason for returning, but she's clearly here for a paycheck and trying to generate energy as well as interest.  Trying to recruit disciples is so ugly and I just don't like it.  

 

Kenya is beyond over this! 

 

Kim - the less said the better!

 

Porsha is trying but there's nothing there, especially when the other ladies are not interested in the show or her.

 

Kandi is still a passive/aggressive twat and she's only on this show because it helps her empire flourish.  She is the only one that does not need Bravo's check.  

 

Sherry can be on this show for another 10 years and still won't have enough to afford that house or pay her creditors.  She is a fake pretending she has more than she really does as she totally ignores viewers are completely aware of her situation.  The town gossip?  Can't use Bob anymore and Sherry is bringing nothing else, so bye!  

 

I would be ok if they ended the show!

It does look like Atlanta needs a shake up... starting with casting women that actually like each other because if the current format of contrived gatherings/vacations continues... it looks better if the women actually enjoy being with one another.  Back in the day, the women didn't have to know or like each other when it was more about their day to day lives... but Atlanta needs to emulate the NY model if it hopes to succeed.

 

BH and Dallas are more a hybrid where some of the women still like each other.. but we get glimpses into their individual lives.

 

OC and NJ need to go back to the day to day stuff with some shade/drama thrown in.. because both shows were focused more on the family aspect then the drama.

 

I've never seen RHOP so I don't know where they fall on the spectrum.

@Nothin'ButAttitude @ChitHappens @Antoyne agree about RHOA. None of the women really want to be there. And Production is doing a poor job. The show is not being edited and put together with any wit or humor or understanding of these women. Carlos King, for all his faults (and lord knows he fed Phaedra that gossip about Kandi) had been working on ATL since S1. Michael Beck doesn't appear to have watched RHOA. His production only perks up when Kim Zolciak slimes her way onscreen -- and then the show starts feeling like Tardy For The Party. But when she's not on, it is just a collection of contrived scenes about not much. I mean, Porsha's veganism is a central storyline. Are Kandi and Kenya even on this show anymore? They are halfway out the door. Nene feels like a FOH. Sheree feels like a FOH who happens to be mute.

 

The only people who seem somewhat invested in being onscreen are Porsha (Bravo still trying and failing to make her happen), Marlo (nasty), Kim (NO) and Mama Joyce (ditto). Add Cynthia and that is quite the motley crew to base a show around. 

 

Like @Nothin'ButAttitude I really worry for Beck's production on RHONY. I don't think Tardy For The Party is adequate work experience for ATL, let alone NYC.

 

RHOBH:

Dorit and Erika showed their respective asses BIG TIME this episode. Dorit is a born liar desperate to impress her new buddy. She is so dumb because she doesn't realize that Erika and Rinna are playing her. Rinna is taking a purposeful step back from the theatrics, thereby forcing Dorit to stir the pot on her own. And Erika is getting closer to the fool, coaxing out the dumbassedness and giving Dorit enough rope to hang herself.

 

I 1,000% empathize with what Erika goes through with her lady-cycle. However, Erika's decision to stay at a hotel was because she disdains these women. She doesn't want to spend one more minute with them than absolutely necessary. Erika was a massive b!tch to Teddi who was hosting everybody with warmth and graciousness. I warmed to Teddi this episode because she is honest in her feelings without being cruel. Unlike Erika, who acted like Teddi's hand on her arm was going to give her Ebola and icily told her "I don't need to be petted." Yeah right, Erika. That's why you stormed off in a huff. Erika pretends she doesn't care but she absolutely does, very much so. I hope she gets called out at Reunion about this because she treated her hostess very badly -- much worse than Kathryn acted a few seasons ago at Erika's house.

 

Also, when Erika was interrogating everybody about what they had said the night before, it felt very KGB henchwoman and took me back to when Erika was Yolanda's heavy in finding out who said Munchausen. Yeesh.

 

Camille was great, especially when she shuffled her chair forward to call Dorit a tattletale. Get her diamond, Camille!

Entertainment Weekly has a compilation of every book written by the HW's.

 

Random Thoughts:

  • The only one I've read is Carole's What Remains.
  • If it's on sale for 1.99 I'd pick up one of Teresa's cookbooks and LVP's entertaining book. 
  • I didn't know Eileen Davidson has "written" so many books
  • I had forgotten about Jill Zarin's fiasco with the fake Amazon reviews.

Dang Gina, you summed it up. 

 

Although I don't find anything wrong with Kandi.  Cynthia is a great supportive role, as you said, but you're right: her normalcy balances out the lunacy, but there's nothing good going on with anyone else. 

 

No words for Kim either. Stank bitch does not make for good TV anymore. 

 

Love your write-up for Sheree. Indeed. 

 

NeNe... sigh. I wonder if she's just hoping Ryan Murphy will eventually cast her again in one of his newest projects?

RHOA

 

I would call it dry or slow starting still. It has had moments, but they have been just that. I do agree that right now Twink Boy is trying to stack the show in Wig's favor even though that rusty dishrag is nothing but rachet trailer park trash. Just look at what is going on. I know everyone is not liking Cnythia's storyline. I am in the minority on that. I admit that I don't like how she is going about all these relevations from Eva and Thotzilla, but it is what it is. I mean other than Leon and Peter has Cynthia ever really dated?

 

That said...

 

NENE...I'm entertained but I'm interested in the fallout from her comment that got her booted off the Xscape tour.

 

KANDI...can afford to be low-key given last season. I don't mind watching her life. However, they need to give up trying to have her makeup with Toyota. However long it take her to forgive Xscape? I rest my case.

 

TOYOTA. I admit that she is coming across somewhat better with me than I expected she would. Maybe it's because they are showing her point of view. However...how real is it?

 

SHEREE. The best story for her would be if someone revealed how broke she really was. The fact she can't even change her clothes on trips should be a BIG clue.

 

KENYA. This so feels like her swan song. And I am sad, but I am happy she is happy. And Marc suuure ain't ugly. lol.

 

EVA. I don't think she fell flat if the other ladies are running with it and using it to start drama with Cynthia. A good start instead.

 

WIG. Because I haven't did it in a few pages...

Love every time Kenya own her A&&.

Behind, but I will be watching that posting above later. Camille has been showing signs of Season 1 and I love it. I would love more if she would take Dorit down who has been on so annoying this season.

 

And it looks like Kyle is going to get in her a*& next week. 

 

Okay, watched it. And speaking of Camille...

I liked this, too. Camille, please continue to call Dorit out. She really needs it.

    • 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.
