And I'm totally cool with that. I'd actually love for her to have as much presence as Danielle has on New Jersey, even WITH talking heads. 

 

Re: NJ, as mentioned up thread, I am one who does NOT think Margaret is suffering the second season curse at all. We haven't had a real breakout newbie from New Jersey since Teresa's family joined in season 3. Yeah, Dolores is okay, but Margaret has personality and humor. Her one lil "mail order bride" comment was nothing to get all pissy about. Instead, it feels like Jennifer's "outrage" against Margaret and Jackie is producer-coaxed. Like "hey, you gotta cause conflict with your co-stars or else you won't last another season." Very forced, IMO. 

 

OMG the Countess...   Everyone looks great.

LOL I don't usually care for cast pics one way or another, but this one was perfectly styled. And putting Luann -- in a cherry-red va-va-voom dress (by JOVANI?) -- right in the centre must be Bravo's way of acknowledging what the Countess has brought to the show in terms of free publicity. I'm surprised Bethenny allowed it to happen.

Andy's baby shower was one big show. Rinna was hilarious screaming at all of the women to get on the table and dance for Andy and his baby, citing the fact that Andy has "paid for your lives!" The stories about LVP not showing up are so weird and obsessive from Erika and Rinna...like, ladies, she thinks you're awful. She's not going to tolerate you. She doesn't have to. 

 

The NYC cast photo is perfection. They all look individual and clearly identifiable. Luann's hair and red dress is on point. Sonja looks great, as does Dorinda in that gorgeous coat. I wonder if Bethenny is furious that she was right on the outskirts of the shot...

 

 

Cannot wait!

 

NEW JERSEY

 

This season has been great and so fun to watch.

 

Danielle appears to be a raving lunatic. Jennifer is a tacky bitch. The two put together are a mess. And the episode was riveting.

 

Classic Marge absolutely destroyed Jennifer without breaking a sweat. As she said, mid bite of dinner, she hit a nerve with that girlfriend comment. Jennifer really blinked. Spoke volumes. And then Marge actually landed that wine onto Danielle, who then became a raging bull complete with producer and security intervention. I'm glad that tension was finally broken.

 

Teresa is so unspeakably stupid it's amazing. She is easier to manipulate than a piece of dough. And she has the most skewed view of reality it is shocking. 

 

I hate to say it but I really liked Melissa this episode. She was screaming the truth from the top of her lungs. I couldn't believe it but I was rooting for her.

The Andy Cohen baby shower/Housewives meetup was a dream come true for anybody who loves cross-show interaction, lol. Andy really is an OG housewife himself, as much as Vicki Gunvalson or Nene Leakes are.

 

However, Rinna has been bugging me the last few years and I can't warm to her shtick the same way. I loved her Billie Reed on Days, enjoyed her outsized personality on Soap Talk, thought she was a great pot-stirring addition on BH. But much like Rinna when she sees Yolanda's Instagram pics of Yo, Brandi & Kim, I'm not feeling it anymore. When she extorted the other HWs to dance for Andy because he "paid for your lives!" --- yes, it's true, yes, it's amusing, if a little 'dance for your master, monkeys!' It's also playing to Andy's huge ego. Rinna is such an effing kiss-ass. OK, so I can't say I didn't enjoy how she basically hijacked Kyle's role as hostess, lol. At the same time, her posturing felt contrived and obviously has a wider agenda -- which is to have Andy's ear the way Kyle does.

 

RHONJ:

 

This last episode was SO GOOD.

 

I really enjoy the natural chemistry between all the women. The cast has diverse personalities that somehow manage to complement each other. Dolores, for example, is often cited as the 'boring one,' but I loved her Greek Chorus during the fights, and the way she, Marge and Jackie bonded over she and Jackie's shared struggles with eating disorders.

 

Jennifer may be tacky (and Jersey) as hell, but I enjoyed every blow-up, every failed hair-tossing walk-off-in-a-huff. I am starting to hope that Jennifer gets a second season! 

 

Marge vs Danielle was as messily magnificent as the previews promised. I was so Team Marge this episode. The way she rounded that table to have a second go at Danielle was amazing -- not too hasty, but purposeful lol. This rivalry is off the chain and v watchable. BTW Danielle's filler in her cheeks is out-of-control.

 

Melissa has been improving the last few seasons (though I still feel the way she sold out the Gorga family to get on RHONJ was deplorable). She is definitely coming across as mature and the voice of reason -- though with Teresa in the same room, that is an easy feat to accomplish.

All is fair in love, war, and business. If true, Nene was a dumbass to even reach out to LVP and share her ideas. She should've just went with her gut and invested in the spot. But given Nene's floppy business background, I doubt this bar would've lasted long. 

 

These chicks are so pressed that LVP is out her making money moves outside of Housewives while this is all the rest of them have to cling too.

Nene makes it so hard to Stan for her. How the hell u mad at Lisa Vanderpump about a bar you never opened?! Not in West Hollywood, not in Atlanta, not in your basement! This is so insane I can’t begin to understand. Was Pump the only available lot in West Hollywood?!

      And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!

      Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

      Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.

      I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same.

      I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was
