For me, everything wrong with RHONY happened in series 7 and that includes Dorinda. In her first season, Dorinda started the whole attack another HW for airtime when she went after Heather for no reason. IT also set a precedent because the show became Bethenny's POV even though she didn't share much of her life. Bethenny's skinny girl pen got more airtime than Heather and Kristin (Kristin who went from sitting next to Andy at the reunion to being a nonentity the next season). After finding seasons five and six a lot of fun, season 7 was torture for me and I didn't watch season 8 except for a few clips. I don't even think I watched the reunion episodes. If I did, I have no memory of them.

Which is why I liked it in binging. 8 ladies mean a lot of personalities to bounce off of each other. I liked that dynamic.

 

But I agree with you about Season 3. From what little I've seen of it, it is engrossing. I can't wait for Bravo to do another marathon and I see all of it. Hopefully I am home when they do.

I have a theory that the key to decoding any Housewives scene is watching who gets to be the talking head commenting on the action. 

 

Thus, it was surprising to me that Denise, (who has been an obvious pain in the tush for production) got such a favorable edit in Rome.  Sutton and Dorit were chosen as the narrators and they provided the audience with reasonable doubt when it comes to Brandi's allegations.  One could imagine that the fan response would have been very different if Kyle or Teddi's interviews were interspersed in that scene.  Certainly every housewife is interviewed about each scene, however, by only using the Sutton and Dorit footage, it was easier to either sympathize with Denise or vilify Teddi.  

 

I've read fan theories that RHOBH is focusing on Denise because nothing was going on for the other women.  However, I doubt this because there are hours of footage that go into each week's episode and these story editors could have created drama out of any number of events that went unseen.  We have no idea about the other scenes of Sutton, Rinna, or Garcelle that could have made for an interesting story.  This was chosen because Denise stopped filming and the editors needed to provide context to the story about why that occurred.

The Brand/Denise sex story is boring!  I wish they had focused on some real dirt in the other closets.

Denise was right (or Brandi) Teddi is obnoxious and in her fathers shadow. She offers nothing to the show except Kyle can use her to stir drama.

Indeed! The show is so juicy that once you get people to sample, they’re hooked. 
 

I hate these squish credits at the end of Housewives to promote Watch What Happens Live coming next. Very distracting when you’re trying to watch the next episode preview.

 

We can’t get rid of Charrisse! She keeps coming back. Like termites.

That episode was well-edited and full of drama. 

 

That's how you do a premiere episode of a Housewives show. 

 

I (too) am saddened by the demise of Candiace/Monique; however, it is what it is. 

 

And I don't believe this newfound "friendship" with Candi and Gizelle. Those 2 hate each other and are only using each other as they have a common enemy--Monique.

      Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

      Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!

      I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.

      Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.

      Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!

      Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.

      I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
