ITA with you re: RHONJ. This was IMO the best episode of the season -- and coming after a run of action-packed epis. NJ is giving me comedy, drama and family/husband dynamics -- it's the whole package and very underrated. Even Jackie's family scenes were welcome relief from Melissa and Joe's 'marriage problems.' Nice to see this other side to her. Her kids with Evan are very sweet.

 

Any episode featuring Gia is always going to be a good one. Plus she is so poised, smart and direct. Anything she says has purpose and common-sense.

 

The psychic was the real deal and I was impressed. This was no Hollywood Medium with one eye on the Google Search (Kyle's psychic is the worst offender). 

 

Dolores is my favourite and I love watching her journey. Much as I love Dolores & Frank, it bothers me a bit that Frank's cheating ways are always celebrated as comedy fodder and no big deal. The fact is, Frank helped lay the groundwork for why Dolores does not think she deserves a loyal partner who loves her completely.

 

Melissa bitching about Dolores's love for dogs in the VT while making a show of comforting her exemplifies who Melissa is. Anything for some fake-ass camera-time! 

 

Jennifer and her family gave us everything this episode. Finally we have some context to her mother's trauma and resentment. Married at 16, taken thousands of miles away from her family and friends to a country where she knew nobody, +45 years trapped in a loveless marriage. This poor woman must have suffered for decades and now it is all coming out. Seeing Bill & Jennifer take the parents into separate corners highlighted the fact that this is a story with two sides, and that Jennifer & Bill's own relationship is different (and much healthier) than her parent's loveless union.

 

You are so right about Marge. Her resentment against Teresa is quietly building and will likely play out further. Right now, she is all about punishing Jennifer and it just makes her look bad. Please target the real focus of your anger, Marge. The Marge has been revealed to be rather hollow this season (pulling her punches with Tre like she's afraid of confronting the OG). Still love her friendship with Dolores, though. 

 

 

I would love a RHOL and (deep breath) would not even mind Dorit leading that show! In my mind, there already was a RHOL, and that was Ladies of London with the Danish Baroness and Queen Caroline Stanbury, but I'd be cool with this. However, the show PK and MauRICE are doing is just a London property-flipping show, which.... Zzzzz. We already have so many of those. 

 

Peacock seem to be all about Bravolebrities doing spin-offs to lift traffic to the streaming service. The problem is, I'm not sure all these shows have legs, or would even be green-lit if they were for Bravo. 

 

Shannon has seen the writing on the wall -- OC might not come back (or she might not want to film with Tamra if Tamra returns). So she's casting around for any spin-off opportunity. Honestly, given how much Shannon loves to talk about herself, IMO she'd be better off with her own radio show or podcast.

This season has been a revelation for D'Andra -- she is comfortable revealing both her flaws and her past, and she is self-deprecating about them. LeeAnne would have immediately weaponized these and used them against D'Andra. While I have no doubt that Brandi, Kary and Stephanie will attempt to do just that at reunion, D'Andra now seems to have the confidence to see off attacks from all sides. That confidence may stem from accepting herself for who she is, and not who she/Mama Dee would like her to be.

 

Brandi loaded down with 4 feral children while the husband (allegedly) spreads his ginger DNA throughout the nightclubs of Dallas. First season, he could barely hide his hatred and disdain of her. The fact that her daughters show her that same disdain really illustrates how that terrible behaviour is LEARNED. I lowkey feel bad for her clinging to that marriage because she simply has no other prospects. She's willing to take his awful treatment and this is one reason why she so badly needs her close friendship with Stephanie.

I actually think Jersey looks fantastic! They didn’t overdo it and even with their quirks I think everybody looks great. Teresa, Melissa and Jennifer are my favorites. 
 

@CatThe fact that anybody would even develop a show around Teddi’s eating disorder camp is insane! Lord! Who is next?! Kelly Dodd?

I mean, they are basically styled as you'd expect:

 

Dolores = Italian starlet at the Cannes film festival.

Melissa = sweet "but sexy" princess. 

Jackie = "I'm so much more SOPHISTICATED than those other Jersey chicks"

Teresa: "Which low-V / leg-split dress shall I wear today?"

Jennifer = Grecian (well, Turkish) goddess.

Marge = Studio 54 poly-blend.

Jersey does it right with the looks...tailoring the color theme to their personality.

 

Dallas:

 

How did Stephanie not here of Dallas?  She would have been 10 or 11 when the show ended.  Even I as a small child in the 80s recalled the show.

 

D'andra needs to not call her mom before doing anything major.  Her husband is a saint lol

Trailer to HBO Max's The Big Shot. The reason I post it is that it has a longtime RH producer as EP (Lucilla D'Agostino, who was on RHONJ since its inception until 2019). And the trailer itself looks *very* Real Housewives. It could be Bethenny-only outtakes from RHONY S7-11, in fact.

 

I personally am not sure whether I could handle multiple episodes of The Braggard's voice and abiding self-love. Also, as someone pointed out on Twitter, are people really pining for shows celebrating Devil Wears Prada-style toxic workplaces? On the whole, though, social media seems to be excited for this.

 

P.S.: The prize is becoming Bethenny's personal VP of operations workhorse, which.....

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
