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.

    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
