Yes, there is! D'Andra and her momma Dee FOR SURE. Watching them develop a new cosmetics product last year was like watching a real-life Jabot back in the William J. Bell days. Dee looks like Tammy Faye Bakker and is a true-blue Texas matriarch. I loved D'Andra, voice of reason, last year (hoping she does not get hit by the second-season blues). Her silver foxy hubby was also easy on the eye.

 

While I'm at it.... Cary Deuber. Yes, I know everybody here hates her. Yes, she is snide. Yes, she is a gossip. Yes, she hates Leeanne (a cardinal sin on this show). And yet, I like her icy, snarky, kooky self. Underneath the better-than-you exterior, she is nerdy and slightly awkward. I can't help but like her even when she is being a hypocrite.

 

Thanks @Nothin'ButAttitude for the trailer. I did enjoy it but didn't connect to it the way I connected to Potomac or NY's pre-season trailers. I'm not sure why. I will be watching, though, and hope it is a good season.

 

@Taoboi Sorry for this oversight, darling!

BTW, we've been talking about rewatching NYC and enjoying past seasons that were initially disparaged. Well, I've been rewatching past seasons of ATL. Let me preface this by saying that S1-4 are PURE GOLD, especially S3 and 4 when everybody hit their stride. Not many of the other franchises can top what ATL was giving me those seasons.

 

However, I am having a tough time making it through S5. I don't remember having this hard a time when I first watched. This was Kenya's first season, and at the beginning, Lazy-Ass Cigs walked off the show. Anguilla was great. But after Anguilla... oy. They padded out that season like crazy. 

 

I feel like the slow decline of ATL began here. The quality of newbies thereafter went wayyyyy down. Kenya was way too extra with all her "I AM QUEEN" nonsense, though I appreciate her playing villain. Porsha was a dumb bore who later became a dumb hor. I never fully warmed to her. Today we are faced with the prospect of Eva and Marlo becoming season regulars and... ugh... I can't with either. Eva is giving me zero. Marlo has been thirsting for that peach since the iceberg sunk the Titanic. It's getting old.

No worries. re: Dallas. I also hope that Ashley Abbott avoid the Season Two Curse. I liked the trailer though I hope that the rumors are true and this season is the downfall of Brandy.

If you'd asked me back when ATL went to South Africa, or watching Nene's wedding special, I would have screamed SIGN THAT TED TURNER-BLOWING HOOCHIE UP! However, the peach-baiting has now atrophied into sweaty, rancid desperation. Her comment last season about Kenya's mom? That's all I needed to know about Marlo. She is an amoral, soulless ghoul who would sell her unborn babies for Bravo. Non merci. We already have a surplus of those.

 

Are those the rumors re: Dallas?  I too hope to see that shark-eyed trashbox Brandy finally account for her sins!

"I dnot know why Dorinda is always projecting her life story on me?" EXACTLY! This season has made me dislike Dorinda. Sonja associating with her daughter's family which she was a part of affects Dorinda in NO WAY. Bitch back up

I haven't seen NYC yet, but so far I'm okay with Dorinda. I could see both sides of the argument, re: Dorinda vs. Sonja and the family crest.  I also understood her being irked by Bethenny's lack of gratitude to the nutcracker (granted, the discussion of it afterwards could've wrapped up more quickly, but this is Housewives. You have to talk about it and talk about it, and then do a talking head or two about it, and then talk about it again on Bravo blogs and at the reunion, etc.). 

 

Maybe my opinion will start to change when I view this week's show.... and Lord knows I wanna see what sparks the division between her and LuAnn!

For me, season 4 was the best season of RHOA and will never be topped. It was the perfect balance of comedy and drama and the cast trip was epic. I also find that the best reunion in Real Housewives history. The shade and the reads were epic! The best modern season IMO was the Kim Fields one. I know many disliked her but I loved the different vibe she brought. I need variety and she provided it. By the time the reunion came around she fit right in. 

 

With my season five RHONY rewatch I must say: Carole, Heather and Ramona deserve all the credit for carrying this season. Luann is useless until St. Barth’s, this is Sonja at her most pathetic and Aviva is the sleeper cell that surprisingly causing so much drama as time progresses. I remember when. I first saw the season trailer and I thought for sure she was an angel and Ramonja must’ve wronged her lol. 

 

On the subject of RHOD, I find that show so overrated lol. I’m sorry it just isn’t all that to me and this trailer doesn’t look much better. It’s watchable, but I even rank it below Melbourne.

Oh I loooooove Melbourne! I just meant that Dallas gets all this attention when it isn’t even as good as one of the international offerings. 

 

For me in recent years the best have been:

 

1. RHONY

2. Melbourne (never had a bad season)

3. Potomac

 

Those three may not be perfect but you can always depend on them to deliver good seasons that aren’t too heavy and have a good variety. Beverly Hills and ATL are enjoyable but hit or miss and Dallas is simply okay for me. Cheshire I lost interest in ages ago.

Whew. Agreed on your top three. Melbourne has never had a bad season. I think it's the Australian sense of humour that keeps it going (though the same can't be said for the toxic Sydney). I do enjoy Dallas more than Beverly Hills but probably on par with OC. ATL is too hit or miss, even within a single season, for me to really enjoy it anymore (a lot of the time the behind the scenes with ATL is the most interesting part since that's a very leaky boat gossip wise). NJ I enjoyed last season, but I hadn't watched it in years. 

 

Cheshire...sigh. I dropped it after the sixth season for a couple of reasons. One, streaming it proved harder (if anyone has a reliable streaming site, hook a brother up via PM!) and after Ampika left, it limped, and when Leanne left (after her final season where she finally flipped out at Dawn) I was done.

Omg I forgot OC in my rankings lol. I feel like that is another consistent show. I don’t think they’ve had a bad season since Heather joined which is what I consider their modern era. Even last season I loved and I’m disappointed Lydia won’t be around now. ESPECIALLY after Tamra’s interview going on and on about how Doug is gay. It amazes me the hypocrisy of that woman.

@Cat, did you see Ashley Abbott and Dina Mergeron fight in the Dallas trailer? I bet Dina refuses to give up the keys to Jabot despite saying so last season.

@Chris B, you take that back! Dallas is fire! Last year's Dallas was right on the coattails with NYC as best Housewives show. If Dallas sticks to 10 episodes like last year, I think they'll have a strong season much like last year. Seeing as this show does has the least viewership, Bravo needs to keep them at 10 episodes a season (w/ 2 part reunions) until they build it up. Dallas has tons of potential. Hell, I was waiting for Dallas to come on over the OC last year. 

 

@Taoboi, sorry about that. I thought @Cat, @DaytimeFan, & myself were the only 3 that took to Dallas on here last season.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH. If there was any way we could sticky this post or make it so we don't forget where it is. I'm going to bookmark it for sure! AND WOW... Season 15 - nearly a whole month of skipped episodes. LOL.

      JFP was only as strong as her writers, which is why her output got worse and worse when she decided she was the only writer anyone needed. They could have easily had a decent short-term story with Lando - maybe cast him as a terminal patient at Cedars, or a long-lost Bauer or Reardon who would leave town after his story is done and possibly return at a later date with a recast. Maybe he could have been tied to Maureen's death, somehow - maybe we'd learn, after he ingratiated himself to everyone in Springfield, that he accidentally ran Maureen off the road during the storm. And when he realizes this he would, in shame, leave town, maybe leaving some Springfield lady devastated if they were about to get married (this could have worked with a better Mindy recast, or maybe a brand new character).

      Notes I've made of skipped or faulty YouTube episodes are (I'll put in brackets the faulty ones, the rest are skipped episodes), that would be amazing if they could be replaced by higher quality Netherlands copies when they become available: 

      Please register in order to view this content

      S13: 3170, 3172, 3181 (faulty), 3203 (faulty), 3223 (faulty), 3255, 3278 (faulty), 3345, 3361 (faulty) S14: 3399, 3455 (faulty), 3479 (faulty), 3509 (faulty), 3555 (faulty end credits), 3580, 3600 (faulty), 3613 (faulty) S15: 3658 (faulty), 3667, 3668, 3669, 3670, 3674, 3678, 3679, 3681, 3682, 3684, 3685, 3686, 3690, 3692, 3694, 3696, 3697, 3699, 3709 S16: 4058, 4059, 4109 S17: 4137, 4194, 4262, 4284, 4358, 4362, 4371 S18 so far skipped: 4450, 4451. There may be further S18 episodes to replace in English if there are any further skips on YouTube, as many episodes from this season are just in German in the vault, and if they skip those, then we probably have to wait for an eventual Netherlands airing unless someone currently has them in English (currently the German ones needing to replace to full English for S18 are: 4477, 4485, 4486, 4492, 4493, 4494, 4497, 4514, 4515, 4518, 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4526, 4531, 4538, 4541, 4575, 4612 - hopefully YouTube will not skip these, and they won't be a problem to fix). Also, jumping ahead a bit to future seasons, but does anyone have full English speaking copies of any of 4852, 4897, 5275, 5308, 5590, 5591, 5594 (as these are not in full or at all in English in the vault as far as I can tell)? Many thanks if you do! A million thank yous to all Angels helping out with these.

      I found the reference in the AWHP synopses -- it was 1995 but not directly related to the loanshark.

      One of the dumbest situations (Lando) ever. What audience member is going to invest in a storyline with a recast they don't like and a triangle where one character is short-term? It bombed as it should have done. So much of JFP's tenure just reeks of desperation. I don't get how someone could produce SB (which did have flaws but was often brilliant) but make so many terrible mistakes at GL.   I still think JFP would have worked better as a director and music supervisor. Her music work at SB was top notch.  It just seems that Rea was minimized during JFP's tenure because I can't imagine her okaying so many of these casting choices.

      We see the same with GH, where Mark Teschner, the casting director, reportedly has less say since Frank Valentini took over. Some producers want to take over every aspect of their shows.  I think Lando may have been a CBS push.

      No idea but she won Emmys & she was the Casting Director at the same time for both ATWT & GL. She hired Lisa Brown with no job for her. Then Marland made Brown his muse so he created both Iva & Nola for her. But, I think we know that Jill does what Jill wants.
