90 min episode? You are being generous! 60 mins is more than enough, with the first half = the Berlin Zoo, and the second half = Dorit's fashion line which I trust we will never see again. 

 

OC last season was literally THE WORST, and ATL has lost its way, but BH is in its final throes. These women are bored by each other and the show. Rinna's hate-obsession with LVP mirrors Carole hiding behind more powerful friends and throwing daggers from the safety of her VTs. As usual, UnORinnaGinal stays copying other HWs' playbooks! Erika is just awful and more unpopular than Bravo cares to admit. The show's relationships have not recovered since Munchausen season. As you say, these women pander to the audience; more than that, they try to manipulate them with fakery and role-playing. Watching this alongside S2 BH (arguably its best, most organic season) is jarring.

 

Unless Joan Collins and the ghost of Jackie Collins join next year as season regulars to confirm that, yes, LVP is indeed the lost Collins sister, then BH needs to be put out of its misery.

 

If they want to do a Real Housewives of Brentwood with Faye Resnick and Kathryn Edwards warily finding common ground within a group of female friends, then I would watch, but I know I am in a party of 1 with that idea lol.

Did you catch the snippet about Rinna being on Andy's radio show saying that the new 'young' girls should take over from the 'old' ones on BH? Three guesses who she wants to get rid of.

 I think she truly counts herself in the young, fresh, newbie category. Gosh, I can't wait to see S9 BH and more of Rinna getting her ladyparts waxed/pushing her under-talented daughters on us!

 

Rinna also seemed a little  in that video by the resumption of the Dorit-Kyle-LVP friendship. 

 

Rinna despises LVP and it has hardened into something Brandi-esque. LVP throws her digs back but is facing a barrage of them this season. Sigh, I don't know why I even care anymore. I think they should all get pink-slipped at this point.

RHOC was reborn in season 9 when the show unloaded Alexis/Gretchen and Lydia quit... so maybe RHOBH could benefit from some pink slips being handed out... just so long as they don't do what they did to RHONY in season 5 (they pink slipped the right people..but were lousy in how they introduced the newbies.).

 

Also, there comes a time that if you are struggling to come up with stories to tell, or if your life is hitting a snag... maybe you should exit stage left.

And you have just reminded me that as a recurring star AND producer of Vanderpump Rules (Bravo's most popular spinoff, with the ratings and coveted demos BH wishes it had), LVP is probably getting more $$$ than Rinna does -- all while promoting her restaurants.

 

WWHL with the BH HWs was fun but it still retained that meanness which is turning me off. I think it should be cancelled, but I'm not sure Bravo is ready to pull the plug.

Rinna should be proud of her QVC business and her commercial endorsements - I admired that she did the adult diaper ad to keep her family going and that she admits she does it for the money. 

 

But by taking the low road, she looks really insecure against LVP. And that’s the opposite of what she wants to achieve. 

 

Vanderpump Rules is an important show for Bravo - it has the demos and the numbers and it stands on its own. And I’m sure it makes money for all involved. 

 

I don’t think Bravo is prepared to cancel BH, even though it should as it’s been a dud for several seasons in a row. It need serious retooling.

I always admired Rinna for doing the Depends commercial and building a QVC career for herself while keeping her family very comfortable. I personally never liked it when Kim Richards belittled Rinna for taking an honest job like she was too good for that work.

 

What grates is when Lisa Rinna checks out of BH for an entire season but lobs sh*t at LVP every week from the safety of her couch. To be fair, in this WWHL case, LVP was the one who brought up the diapers & dusters. LVP laughed off Rinna's retort well, though, which makes me wonder if she sometimes doesn't enjoy sparring with Rinna. (And I may be reading too much into their interactions, but I feel like LVP and Erika have grown a little closer, too).

 

Rinna throws out any old statement to besmirch somebody, and it becomes instant truth, and nobody really calls her on it. Case in point: the coke question on WWHL directed at Dorit. Dorit was pissed, and I don't blame her tbh. All that stemmed from Rinna last year and it has now become an accepted fact that Dorit must be a cokehead.

    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
    • I don't, since they've clearly incorporated them into Tomas' storyline, and I happen to like his tattoos, but his jackets not fitting doesn't mean they're trying to cover his tattoos. The clothing overall isn't the issue; it's the fit. And I expect(ed) more from Jeresa Featherstone and her team. Very disappointed. He's the only male, overall, whose costume irritates me.
    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.
