I think with each state having different covid rules, you'll see different types of shows.

 

Since CA had the strictest rules, I'm hearing all 6 barely interact together once they resumed filming.

 

TX had somewhat more relaxed rules..so I'm interested to see how that plays out on Dallas.

 

GA had the most relaxed of rules..so I'm guessing group interaction will be consistent with pre covid.

 

NJ and NYC..I'll be interested to see how they handle filming with the pandemic restrictions

I think OC has the unique position of having a good amount filming pre-corona, in-corona, and then of course post-corona.

 

I want to say NJ barely started before it hit so it's most in-corona and post. I don't even think they were filming when Jennifer got it for example while you have Shannon filming and documenting it.

 

ATL and DALLAS started filming in the post-corona world.

 

NY started post (but filmed confessionals after everything had already been filmed pre-corona).

 

I am sure OC will ruin it, but it has a very unique BEFORE/AFTER vibe which should be interesting viewing in a way that, while great shows all, is lightning in a bottle. Perhaps Tamra/Vicki will be a blessing as they do this light reset.

Chile Texas has been pretty much open the entire time so I would expect a very similar Dallas season. They still do a couple trips and you’ll see them at restaurants. The biggest change will be more house parties than events in public spaces. 
 

New York I’m curious how they will handle filming in the city. That seems like the worst place to film when you need to social distance. I’m also curious where they will go for their cast trip. I’d love a return to Montana and also Heather’s Berkshires house if she truly is back.

Oh yeah...this season of DALLAS is the year of 'themed' house parties. 

 

And this...is me.

My apologies. Everyone knows I disliked last season of DALLAS. Unlike BH, I have not quit it yet, but that last season left a bad taste in my mouth. But I am at least curious. 

 

I don't know. NY started off strong in lockdown and they have tried enough tactics to keep the city going going by my friends on FB who live there. And what I've seen. I don't know how their new system of lockdown down sections of the city by zip codes with the highest cases is going. 

 

And thank you. It has seen been argued that Heather is not full time, but at least I am hoping for heavily recurring at the moment.

@Taoboi I’m the lone wolf. I hated season 3 of Dallas but loved season 4 so I’m excited for once. New York I feel always delivers so I’m not worried about them either. The one I worry for is Beverly Hills. They seem to always be trying so hard to be interesting I’m hoping it’s not another overproduced season. Hopefully the lack of international travel and public events forced them to be more real. 
 

Bravo is wrong for posting this.

Yeah, NY no matter what has delivered. I may watch it funny, but I do like those girls. They have given me so many lmfao moments after a bad day at work this year. And LuAnn is Bae for me. 

 

Well BH would not have to try so hard if they would be REAL. *sips*

 

I've enjoyed your commentary on DALLAS Season 4 so you be excited. When it was airing I liked it but it got a little too personal for me given what was going on with me that year so it was a sharp dislike. Andy Cohen at the reunion on a year where he has not been a good host at all for ANY of his shows did not help. 

 

And speaking of Bravo...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! at that shady tweet. They are so trolling the fans. I find it funny since how is it that no one knows (other than us apparently) that Marlo gets paid just as much as a housewife now and now it is a personal choice to NOT have a peach?

ITA. Ever since Carlos King and his team left the show and we got the Tardy production crew, my emotional investment in RHOA has fallen dramatically.

 

I've tried hard to reconnect with the show, but Carlos for all his faults, was in these women's ordinary daily lives and picking up on all the cracks they didn’t want us to see 

 

Since S10, I've felt that ATL is too much about the lewks and glam and it is verging on BH territory. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy fashion as eye candy, but not as replacement for actual substantial stuff going on. Thank heavens the ATL women are funnier and sharper than the BH women, and that is what keeps the show going. It is also why I enjoy the reunions. On the show itself, I am finding the reads increasingly rehearsed. Again, I put the blame for the over-glam and scripted reads at the door of this particular production team. Even in this latest trailer, all the supposed 'unexpected' stuff like Mike putting his hand on the car cam, or Porsha creeping around a house on cc-tv seems a bit contrived to me.

 

Perhaps the fact that I am watching S6 ATL at the moment is spoiling my mood for current ATL. S6 is crammed full of so much stuff happening, and it is all real. Glam was incidental to the marriage and relationship drama.

 

Kenya was villainess but an enjoyable villainess, with human streaks, and there were checks and balances between all these women so that a lot of their worst impulses were checked. Now I see that Kenya has managed to run Tanya Sam off the show -- for a FOH, Kenya sure was threatened by her presence! -- which is a shame. I liked Tanya. She and Marlo could be peach-holders, but Bravo keep trying to cast semi-famous names who end up being duds. Or they make a bunch of FOHs fight it out, and after filming is done they re-edit the season around their eventual picks and it feels like gaps are missing when we watch.

 

As for Kandi, I get where you are coming from, but its the principle of the thing IMO. Even if Riley's dad pays a symbolic, modest amount each month, its about participating financially and sharing responsibility. Personally, I hate it more when I see Pipsqueak Todd -- who lives high on Kandi's money himself -- complaining about Kandi buying Riley stuff. It is none of his business tbh. He gets an allowance too!

+ 1 and good to read before I go back to sleep. lol. 

 

If I wanted to add everything it would be this...I do not feel that Tanya never recovered from the Cookie Lady drama. While Kenya was wrong for that, it tainted Tanya who up to that point was all light and bubbly and smart. Going forward while her feelings for Kenya was justified, a heretofore cattiness popped up of her that was just ugly to me. I went from feeling she brought a fresh air to the show to respecting her, but slowly disliking her. It felt like she was dragging it out with Kenya more than Kenya dragging it out with her at the reunion and THAT was unflattering. Hopefully before Kenya strikes again, Tanya gets her halo back.

 

Yeah after rewatching the trailer, I agree with you re: Kandi. It isn't about the money. It''s about the time lost between father and daughter. And I think Riley is truly hurt over that. Thus Kandi is truly hurt over that.

I will have to go back and re-watch but my snap judgment on last season's reunion was that Kenya was just AWFUL. She tried to shout her rehearsed reads over Tanya and Tanya was calmly but firmly not having it.

 

It's funny you thought Cookie Lady was the beginning of the end for Tanya. I thought it tarnished Kenya and Cynthia to keep bringing the thirsty-ass mistress around. Kandi also pulled this ish with Dennis's alleged mistress while pretending she had never met her before. I personally hate this trend of bringing on somebody's alleged side-chick to the show in order to 'embarrass' another HW. Kandi did it in S9 with Apollo's prison pen-pal. Back in S5, when Kenya tried to play up that Apollo was coming onto her, it backfired so badly on her. All the other women were like 'How can we trust you or your motives with regards to the other husbands?' Kenya was eventually vindicated, Scarlet Letter-styles. But bringing on the mistress cheapens RHOA, IMO. Like I said, it didn't make Tanya look bad, but it did make Kenya look like a unlikeable b!tch.

But im ready to see how Tanya comes across this year. Maybe I will eat my words. Wouldn't be the first time!

See? I don't remember Tanya being calm about it at the reunion. And that was the thing I liked about her. She was acting like everyone else which meant Kenya got to her.

 

 

Yeah, Cookie Lady wasn't good for anyone, but Tanya did lose a little of what made her cool for me.

For me, I think  Tanya lost a lot of appeal when she was suddenly friends with Nene again after Nene said those disgusting things to her at the reunion. I knew then she was desperate to be on the show. I also think Cynthia's speak on it with Kandi spoke to how duplicitous Tanya is (. I remember thinking Kenya was fantastic on the reunion, and Nene was a disaster with her rehearsed reads and her weak comebacks to anything Kenya said. Porsha had the social distancing read, but for the most part, she was annoying too. I think it was probably the worst RHOA reunion as the first part was great, but the last two were duds.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
