I'd imagine that it costs them nothing but about maybe 100k to 300k at the most and most of that is renting a studio. 

 

These shows make tons of money that they can update the opening. It is Bravo and the production companies not updating the opening. Evolution Media, who produces BH and OC, are the only shows that put money into their shows and it shows. BH never recycles intro, and OC will at least update an intro every other season. Word is OC just shot their upcoming season intro the other day. 

 

ATL has only updated their intro 4 out of the ten seasons they've been on air. 

NJ has only updated their intro about 4 times out of 8 seasons. 

NY is getting better, but they're bad too. It looks like only Carole is getting a new shot for the upcoming season. 

 

I'd imagine that Dallas might get a new opening seeing as they'll need a full body shot like the rest of the shows. 

 

IMO, all of these shows should get a new intro every damn season. It costs them nothing to film an intro, which can be shot in a few hours on one day. 

 

BH:

 

Erika continues to be an insufferable twat. I truly never understand why the audience gravitated to this whoremonger. I wish Teddi would've socked her ass. 

That aside, this season is so damn dull. They have to cast someone chaotic next season. This show hasn't been good since s5.

ATL

 

Nene and Kim are both terrible people and as fake as they come.

 

BH

 

Can we please have Camille back full time next season? Her VT’s about the lunch with Lois were flawless. 

 

Lisa Rinna’s mother is SO CUTE. I hope she’s lives forever. 

 

It was interesting to see LVP thank Rinna for her kindness. 

 

Erika remains awful.

Lots of people want Brandi back and at this point it could happen. Though I imagine Brandi would align with Erika because her hate for LVP to this day is all-encompassing. And that would mean 3 people (Rinna, Erika, Brandi) actively hating on LVP on and off the show, 4 if we count Kyle's little jabs, and possibly 5 if Dorit turns. Which would be less fun for me to watch as I hate when the entire pack gangs up on one person (see BH S4, NY S8, OC, etc).

 

 

lol sounds to me like Carole got so much plastic surgery this year that RHONY were forced to re-shoot her shots so we'd be able to recognise this new blonde 48-year old in our midst!

Erika was a stuck-up b!tch from day one. However, the mega marketing blitz (from Bravo's numerous platforms and online presence, to YouTube comments, to literally every Real Housewives podcast out there) has been OVERWHELMING the past 3 years. They worked overtime to make her happen. Seeing her exposed last week felt like vindication for everything my gut was telling me about Erika, even though I went against that and tried to embrace the positive in her many times.

 

It's a small moment, but when she told Dorit last week to "Leave that" re: Teddi, I was disgusted with how she dehumanised somebody she had just ganged up on. 'That'? I also hate how Rinna, who I actually want to enjoy this season, brown-noses Erika and literally follows her directive in everything.

omg that dog

 

Totally. Part of it is the shorter, blonder hair, and the fact that she trained for the marathon, but the other part is a face lift, a brow lift, and more cheek fillers.

 

I didn't recognise Carole here either (also, whatever Tinsley is doing to her nose, she needs to stop).

Christ. Dolores' work, Tinsley's nose contouring, the thing formerly known as Carole. No, no, no. 

 

Something tells me NY's Dorinda and NJ's Margaret would hit it off and make for fun friends. 

 

I've always thought Carole looked like a wax figure that was accidentally thrown in the microwave for a few seconds.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
    • I can definitely see that airing the same week as The Love Boat colliding with an iceberg and sinking while crossing the North Atlantic on the Titanic anniversary with a “Who lives and dies?!” Promo next to Mr Belvedere being blackmailed over his wanted fugitive status back in the UK

        Agree with you both. I am also going assume that while Hotel may had some big numbers the first 2 seasons BUT the demographics weren’t great. Reason I say this is I distinctly remember my parents watching St Elsewhere and/or The Equalizer after Dynasty.    I still don’t get Hotel’s designation as a primetime soap opera either lol. ABC should have aired Paper Dolls in the 10/9 slot on Wednesdays in the fall of 1984 to give that show some more legs.    Obviously ABC was eyeing a double bill night in the same vein as Dallas & Falcon Crest and that might have worked better than leaving Paper Dolls to the wolves in an untested timeslot.
    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time.  And believe me, if I could bring myself to watch her male successors who were responsible for bringing back Reva and allowing her to eat the show again, or hiring Hunt Block, or being too chicken to stand up to stans who and hamstrung the show with boring couples stuck in the same repetitive stories (Vanessa/Matt, Chelle/Danny or Richard/Cassie, take your pick) not to mention San CristoHELL....I'd be more than happy to roast them on open spits. I guess we end up talking about JFP because she's in a period we can nominally agree was one of the last "best" periods of the show.
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.
