I thought Kathy Hilton was Sonja Morgan for a minute.

 

Apparently Erika said it was $40K a month for glam! When they went to France in S9, she didn't take her GS with her and it was the best she's ever looked. Fresh and young. Here, you can see The Fall of the House of Girardi is taking a toll. If I were Dorit, I would look at the Girardis and cut back on 99% of her entourage ASAP. 

 

Garcelle and the new housewife look phenomenal. Sutton looks warm and cosy!

 

Uh... what's going on with Rinna and Kyle's faces ?

omg that's uncanny

 

Adventurelandia — Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem The Muppet Show...

 

 

 

Clearly, Jill was the villain of S3 and S4 RHONY. She admitted to purposely starting the fight with Bethenny for SL; she was horrific to Alex and eventually so villified that Bravo fired her forever. However, the more I have seen of Bethenny since S3 (on her spin-off; her second stint on RHONY), the more I realise that she, too, was playing us and hiding the Real Bethenny -- far, far more effectively than Jill Zarin (who is a poor actress and bad liar). Not saying Zarin wasn't the villain we saw on our screens, but Bethenny was perhaps not the innocent victim in all this either. She partook of Jill's generosity until she landed the Skinnygirl deal and an upwardly-mobile boyfriend. And then it was See Ya. Too bad the BF turned out to be Jason 'Psycho Eyes' Hoppy.

 

Damn, I can't believe I wrote that about Jill. I really wanted her gone back in the day.

The Tweet I posted a few days from S5 RHONY is everything about why Heather made such a great, non-toxic addition to the show. The way she and the 'sane' women bounced off of Sonja and Ramona -- I just loved the dynamic. And the interaction was mostly good-natured and rarely cruel.

 

Posting this clip again because it is SO good:

 

Bethenny was all about being superior to other people and putting them down so she could rise. RHONY was *thisclose* to turning into The Bethenny Show in S8 and S9 because of this (thank god for Luann's scandals, eh!). It was all about Bethenny's Anxieties, Bethenny's Properties she got for a STEAL at $5 million, Bethenny's Flop Show w/ Fredrik, Bethenny's Business Ventures. No one else was allowed to succeed at life. If they even dared show a little pride at their own accomplishments, well...

 

---------------------

 

Speaking of Tweets, this one imagining Erika's tagline for S11 is *chef's kiss*

I get so agitated when I think about what Bethenny did to the show in season 8 and 9. Her stans are so blinded to her narcissism and always come back with but yeah she's a philanthropist as though that gets rid of all of her negative and toxic traits. I was arguing with a friend that when your castmates are celebrating your departure because it can be an ensemble again, you're doing something wrong. He didn't get it, and used it to say it wasn't her fault and that she's bigger than the show. Shoot me in the face.

Bigger than the show?

Bravo worship her ass, and even they refused to give her another production deal after B&F flopped. I know she's got the Apprentice rip-off The Big Shot coming up ('behind-the-scenes plagued with problems' according to a few recent headlines) -- but does anybody have good vibes about an Apprentice rip-off after the last 4 years we just had?

 

Yes, she has a podcast (if you can stand to listen to that voice talking over her guests) -- so does everybody in reality TV. D'Andra & Mama Dee have a podcast, for crying out loud.

 

I should have seem this coming in S7. She basically gaslit Heather right off the show. At Reunion, she'd constantly interrupt Heather, as if H was too long-winded or something. She'd be all: "Can you not? You're... A Lot right now."

 

Total narcissist. I was so afraid after this season that her stans would be crowing for either Bethenny to return or cancel the show immediately.

I will say in season 7...Heather actually handled Bethenny well considering what she had to contend with.  And I loved her confessional where she basically said Bethenny was a *itch lol

 

Luann, Dorinda and Carole had stuff going on in season 7..so it wasn't the Bethenny show that year.  Even Kristen had stuff she was doing show up on the show that season.  All of Heather's stuff was cut from what I recall.

S7 was pretty damn good. It also was Dorinda's first year.

 

S8 was when Face of Fibroids started obsessively hogging the limelight. Rumor was that she had planned a 'Bethenny gets engaged' SL and got mad when Luann got there first. It's an exciting season, though.

 

S9 was full-on The Bethenny Show. S10 might have been, too, except that Luann got arrested and Carole bit back. Thank god.

 

All this is making me want to rewatch RHONY from S2 onwards!

Don't mind me... I'm just smirking at how the tables have turned when it comes to the Grande Dame Karen Huger from the first season when she was mistakenly maligned by the public to the present day as a beloved national treasure.

Due to the craziness of yesterday here in the U.S., I already knew. I needed distraction television. And a glass of wine.

 

And SLC was not on yet.

In all seriousness, this was a good episode. I am surprised that next week is the season finale. I felt like NOW things were starting to heat up. Granted some of this was choppy, but it was good. There was a flow that was missing. Good stuff, but no flow. Kinda like when you want to get from Point A to Point B but rather than take the viewers on the journey to get there. We just did a fast cut to Point B and went 'wait, what?'

 

Other than Emily's family drama the last few episodes and Kelly and her daughter poking fun at it, The Co-Vid storyline I felt was a a wash. A gimmick. It was barely acknowledged this episode. Good given what happened yesterday since distraction TV, but overall, it was like having lightning in a bottle and letting it go. But oh, well.

 

SHANNON. Was a wash. She had THE storyline. So I thought. But that was really Emily. So it just felt like she was trying to throw anything storyline this episode at the screen to see what would stick. Oh, my daughter is going away to college. OOOhhh, where do my boyfriend and I stand? Oooooh, look at me and how I made it out of Co-Vid in one piece! Just...too much. So with nothing else, here she comes looking for a feud with somebody. Anybody.

 

KELLY. Surprisingly came out of this season more decent than I expected her to. But she was just an idiot this episode. And Jolie sadly was screaming entitled. It was like they spent the whole episode poking fun at Co-Vid. SHUT...UP. And then she was pot stirring with Shannon. Just...no.

 

GINA. Okay...she's wormed her way into my good graces. I admit it. She might have started the season being a wanna boss Bitca, but you know what? Once she stopped that and was just herself. She was so much enjoyable to me. And like @Cat said, she's been giving good commentary the last few episodes.

 

EMILY. Thank God!!! I was not liking Emily the Bone Collector. Her Co-Vid storyline has brought back the Emily I liked. Quirky, but kind. And I'm here for that. And I liked that the whole experience has made her marriage stronger.

 

ELIZABETH. Yay for the end of her divorce. Now she can get some.  I liked everyone ribbing her about that. 

 

BRAUNWYN. Her man looks like he's need to be comforted. I'm free.  That said...interesting that at some point the two of them stopped their private office. Very interesting. Since that was where they went to have sex. I agree with what the ladies have been saying. While Braunwyn is on her own path and standing in her truth, it is coming across selfish. After all, she has husband and kids. She can do that path and actually have them as a part. It is almost as if she is just wanting to run off, leaving them. And yes, that is very selfish...and like an addict. So...hmmm. She has lost all goodwill. Nice friends though. 

 

So...the parts looked good this episode. But as a whole...meh.

 

Heheh. Same. It was all organic while I personally loved. 

 

Though to be fair...I loved her when she said that.

    • @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.
