I don’t know, I feel like she’s been on quite a bit this year. The James ultimatum, business vs MeToo, dealing with James’ mom, Pride, staff meetings, the TomTom stuff, now the Billie stuff... I really think filming VPR, BH, opening TomTom, opening Las Vegas, her dog work, and her brothers suicide - it really all became too much in a concentrated period of time.

The other thing about VPR is LVP has control over when she does or doesn’t film. She’s an EP on the show and if she was having a hard time in grieving her brother, she simply wouldn’t show up for filming and nobody would complain to the boss because she is the boss. 

 

She is also not part of the conflict. Although she’s in the show and the show is concentrated on her business, she flows in and out without being a lightning rod for attack. 

 

Bottom line: it’s a completely different and far easier show to be a part of, especially in difficult personal circumstances.

RHoNJ 

 

I haven't really seen RHoNJ since the first post-Danelle-wedding episode when Jackie wrote the article, but I wanted to say that so far it had been the most consistent I've watched a season since the season with Amber and the Twins.

 

DANIELLE. So this is the crazy Danielle you all have been talking about? LOL!!! I liked that she has been the seasonal arc so far to thread things together. I have to agree with what some of you all said a few pages back...it is surprising that given how most of the first half of the season had to do with her that she has no talking heads. Even Tanya over on RHOA just had one in the recent episode. Sad she lost her friendship with Marge though. 

 

MARGE. I hear she is suffering the season two curse. From where I am at, she seem the same to me. 

 

TERESA. Well I do find the Dad stuff with her brother relateable. Since I haven't been around during the 'Feud with Melissa' years, it doesn't bother me as much as it does the rest of you. However, it has been interesting to see her feud with new girl Jackie. Especially given that picture that surface of her being an uberTeresa fan.

 

MELISSA. So she has an alliance forming with Marge and Jackie I see. That can't be good.

 

DOLORES. Just there. I don't mind as long as we see some more of Frankie. lol.

 

JENNIFER. She hasn't bugged me as well as most. Shades of MELBOURNE's Pettiflour for sure, but hey...if you have the money, flaunt it. lol. And it's some insight into another culture which I am down for.

Speaking of updating...

 

ATL

 

EVA. I liked that people continue to see through what is looking more and more like an act for the cameras with the shade. lol. That said...that was some real stuff with her granddad. More believeable than the tears she had on Y&R as Tyra. 

 

KANDI. LOL!!!! She was such a hoot over food. 

 

SHAMARI. I don't think she was in it very much. So much so that I had to wonder when they were waiting on the late-comers, I couldn't figure out who was missing other than Nene. 

 

PORSHA. So was her announcement one of those added scenes. That said...how it came out was cute.

 

CYNTHIA. Nothing to say. 

 

TANYA. GUUUURL, LOOK AT YOU!!!! GETTING A TALKING HEAD ALREADY!!! Marlo must be livid.

 

MARLO. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA at her losing her luggage. 

 

NENE. SMH. I get she is upset over Greg, but she was coming off bad other than the Porsha baby announcement. And promo for next week show she is only going to get worse so boo!!!

 

Other than that...like Tokyo so far. However, things are said to be interesting from here. So much so that the season is suppose to clock in at 20 episodes not including the reunion.

 

Buckle up?

I don’t think Marge is suffering the season 2 curse at all. To me, she makes the show. She is hilarious and doesn’t mess around - although the mail order bride comment was tacky, it was funny and was exactly what I was thinking. Jennifer reacted like she did because she knows it’s true. 

 

What I am observing is that Teresa’s inadequate IQ is leading her down a garden path of thinking Danielle and Jennifer are in the right in their conflicts with Marge. 

 

Teresa excuses anyone who shows loyalty to her and never takes a moral position because she’s incapable of thinking with that level of logic.

1. Not surprised Phaedra was invited and that Andy was here for it. Andy has always been here for Phaedra's shennanigans and lies. They're both lying train wrecks.

 

2. Is Andy snorting cocaine? You know what, don't answer that... He obviously needs to leave that "Erika Kane" alone b/c that wasn't every housewife at his baby shower. I don't know why he wrote that caption on that pic unless he was under the influence or trying to be shady. I'll take the latter. But if he was under the influence, where is Monique? LVP? The Miami girls? The DC chicks? Bethenny? Other previous housewives? The only ones that showed up are the ones willing to kiss his a**--even ones that I like, sadly. I feel like he should've worded that a bit better.

 

3. Kyle throwing this party is not surprising. That chick'll do anything to keep Andy on her side and establish herself as the unpronounced 'queen' of BH. Girl, all the sketchy edits in the world aren't going to save you from the backlash I see you're about to get this upcoming season of BH.

 

4. Why the fu*k is Marlo there? When the did hooker = housewife? I still see that Nene and a few others (obviously, Andy now) will do anything to make Marlo "fetch."

Agreed. Marge is my fave on NJ this season and imo is the breakout star of the show. Danielle and Jennifer came across so poorly this Cabo episode.

 

You hit the nail on the head regarding Teresa. It's almost like she is incapable of having a moral compass. This may explain in part why she 'went away' and yet cannot acknowledge that she did something wrong.

 

 

ALL THIS. Look at Kyle and Rinna guarding Andy and making sure no-one but them gets close!

Ramona sure as hell tried to worm her way in there though! Yet one more reason I love Ramona.

 

But yes I don't see Princess Bethenny, nor LVP. I'm sure Kyle invited B but I'm not so sure LVP was on the list! 

 

Anyway Andy probably was coked up to the gills for saying Every Housewife was there. Otherwise we'd be seeing DeShawn Snow and Carlton Gebbia trying to get a look-in. And where is Wigs n Cigs??

I'm pretty sure both ladies were on the list as Kyle is all about optics. However, I think Bethenny doesn't give a f*ck, as she think she's above all this "housewives" mess, and LVP was probably somewhere making money, which I don't blame her for. It was best neither one showed up as they would've possibly been targets for their respective casts. 

 

And you know Kim (much like Bethenny) was not gonna come to this event when she thinks she's above everyone.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
