@chrisml S2 and S3 New York are two of the best RH seasons ever produced IMO. Bethenny was very different, and it struck me that in S10 she kind of turned into a self-producing Jill Zarin in a lot of ways. Full circle! 

 

I also enjoyed S4 even though it was toxic. Cindy is awful, but in a watchable way, because she is so ridiculously humourless. And her having to deal with Sonja and Ramona is hilarious because those two have a sense of humour. Morocco was a great trip, and best of all, a few people who were absolutely horrid finally get their just desserts! (Plus one who did not deserve to). I'd watch it because S4 marks the end of an era.

 

In BH news, guess who is using her sister's addiction to stay relevant? Yep, Kyle is at it again. She's got 'concerns' about Kim and wants everybody to know about it. So instead of calling Kim or the family, her publicist called the tabloids. Of course! That's the best way to deal with someone whom you imply might be messing with drugs again! *side-eye*

There's a lot of good moments in the 4th season. I'd check it out. Like @Cat said, it's the end of an era, with Jill and Alex and cray-cray Kelly still there. The Morocco trip is awesome and the aftermath with Luann/Jill targeting Alex & hubby Simon is good. You'll also hear the phrase, "Not the right time, not the right place" about a million times, lol.   It's the reunion that gets really ugly.

I thought NY Season 4 indeed had great moments (Luann and the camel), but there was too much bad acting (Jill) for my liking. To me, it couldn’t help but feel like a disappointment after the nearly perfect Season 3, which, to me, the standard by which I measure all RH seasons. Just one dazzling episode after another and still the greatest reunion ever.

 

I still quote it. “Next thing she’s gonna tell us she’s an African-American, Asian woman!”

 

”You were sppppread eagle in the lobby of your husband’s hotel.” (Massive JZ eyeroll)

 

”Thank you, Andy. I appreciate that.”

 

“Your blood type is Pinot Grigio.”

Holy [!@#$%^&*]! Why do the Potomac HWs always get the cheapest reunion clothes? Even lower-rated Dallas reunions look better than this polyester mess! Which $2 bargain bin did the stylist find these? I thought Giz's lace see-through onesie (with shoulder pads!) was pretty bad -- until I scrolled down and caught sight of Ashley. She looks like she got into a fight with my grandma's net curtains -- and the net curtains won. Is that an attempt at a superman cape??

 

That clip -- finally Gizelle is getting schooled. Giz usually keeps her cool, but you can tell Karen got under her skin because she lost it. BTW Katie seems like she is almost tweaking at one point in that clip. I dont recall her being like this in S1. I dont know if she is on drugs, but my gut says yes. I hope she has good people around her.

Ashley looks awful and easily the worst of them all. It's deserved, given her character. Robyn is the biggest disappointment with both that hair and dress because she's been looking amazing in the show with the short cropped hair and the perfectly fitting short dresses. 

 

Gizelle never has taste and always looks pageant, so she's par for the course. The same applies to Candiace whose dress is trying to be more charismatic than she actually is. Karen tried, but it doesn't work. Monique wins by default, and because her body and hair look incredible. 

 

 

Not a surprise as any cast changes would have been seen by production as an admission that the show doesn't work anymore, that it WAS a gang-up on LVP and that the rest of the cast was at fault. Bravo isn't going to admit that, so the show is going to continue to fall apart at the seams.

Those RHOP reunion looks are hideous, but they always are. I'm a drag queen and wouldn't even wear that stuff. The only one who looks decent is Monique. This franchise they seem to try too hard when it comes to the reunion so they always fall short. With RHOBH there's so much scuttlebutt that the entire cast is returning (with some questions on if that includes Camille) and if that's true there is no way that works for me. Even if they add a great new HW, I just don't have it in me to watch these girls.

This season is gonna be dry as [!@#$%^&*] unless Rinna/Erika target Kyle/Teddi, which I assume is gonna happen. That's why they were pumping Kyle up as the 'true queen of BH' b/c they are about to knock her off her porcelain throne (toilet) before she even plops down.

 

I've concluded from the start that Rinna wants the crown as 'queen' of RHOBH seeing as she's been p*ssed b/c she was overlooked on being cast on the show since the start.

These reunion looks in general are tacky and over the top.  Whatever happened to just wearing a simple black or red dress?

 

Beverlyy Hill needs a cast shake up...and if Andy were smart..he'd look at how OC reinvented itself in season 9 with the addition of Shannon ( if the show gets a season 15, they need to ax Gina..no one likes her..but I do love karma being a bitch to her after the way she went after Shannon in season 13..did she not see what happened to Heather after she did the same thing to her in season 9?)

    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
