All week the interwebs were saying that Tiffany 'New York' Pollard, Nene Leakes and Erika Jayne were joining. Can you imagine how let down CBB viewers must feeling right now?

Adriana is not the best dressed in this reunion line-up, but she does look better than she has on the show. IMO Lisa is the standout look here.

 

Total facts. I know Carlos King has an ego on him, but RHOA has not touched greatness since he left.

And just like that Garcelle unfollowed Erika...as did Sutton...

 

Same. I was super excited at just the idea that Tiffany 'New York' Pollard would be back on TV on a weekly (?, at least) basis. Such is her power...since I don't really watch. lol. So I feel their pain. 

 

As for that other thing, I hope Cynthia drags her to within an inch of her life. 

 

OMG!!! YES!!! Lisa, Guerdy, and Alexia are easily my favorites. But I love the sheer look of Marysol's, that smile of Julia's is just so playful, but classy in that dress, and while I'm usually not a fan of that type of dress, it really works for Nicole. 

 

I do hope that this season, RHOA does bounce back. 3 Cast Trips. Red Haired Kandi is back. And just the right mix of fun drama from what I have seen and heard. But I'm really looking forward to Kandi's spinoff. I'm such a sucker for restaurant shows. 

 

 

I know right. I can remember where I was at and what it was like here when PILLOW TALK went down. 

 

And that list just really proves that Season 6 of RHOA was THAT GIRL.

When you look at ratings declining and Bravo being in a transitional phase both with the network and NBC launching Peacock, I don't understand why they haven't signed Carlos to a deal to produce shows. He's created a new hit franchise with Love and Marriage on OWN and his shows are always well produced, buzzworthy and get tons of social media attention. Considering what he's done for Bravo, it seems like he's the guy you'd lean on for new programming. Imagine if Carlos got his hands on RHOC or RHONY, or if he launched a new HW city after his brilliant work on RHONJ and RHOA. It's a no brainer. 

Those RHOM reunion looks are fantastic! Guerdy said the theme was Versace. Everybody picked outfits that flatter themselves and their own personal style. It's rare a reunion gets it so right.

Exactly! The cast remained true to their own personal style, and while it may not be my style, I can't deny that someone like Nicole really pulls off her outfit. Yellow is not an easy color!

Also -- the women are wearing the clothes, the clothes are not wearing them (like we had with the SLC and BH reunion looks). Marysol's outfit suits her so well and gives her an almost regal vibe.

Versace, patron saint of Miami Beach. Love that a reunion decided to pay tribute to a top designer so closely associated with Miami. I think that might be a RH's first.

 

Transitional also because more RH viewers are streaming the shows, so the TV ratings won't reflect the numbers migrating online. I do think RH viewership has gone down compared with the glory days of RHOA, but I don't think it has collapsed to the extent seen in some of the 'TV ratings only' numbers.

It's crazy to me that Carlos King, who discovered Nene Leakes and is the RH's biggest fan, hasn't been kept on by Bravo or spun to another show. Honestly, BH could do with a Carlos King sometimes (and yes, I know BH along with RHOA, pulls in the biggest audience. I'm saying that BH doesn't always deserve those numbers). I would love to see what he would do with RHONY! Given the careful attention setting up RHONJ, with the ties between the women and the sense of a very specific location, I think he would breathe fresh air into a franchise that really needs the help.

So why hasn't he been given those opportunities? I have to imagine that the break-up between CK and Bravo was not amicable. It occurred during/after S9 RHOA reunion. TT at the time inferred that Phaedra got the Kandi/Porsha rumor from CK, and this was brought up at reunion but then cut. Kandi put her foot down and said CK must leave, and honestly, I can see why she would insist on that. Nene backed Kandi because she felt CK had given her a 'bad edit' in S7 and S8 and wanted him gone too.

Carlos mentioned recently on Twitter that Bravo did try to get him back to produce RHOA for a recent season, but he'd only do it if his production company were allowed to take over the production. He said he's at a point in his career where any job he takes would have to involve his company, which I think is fair. It's not like Truly Original has been knocking it out of the part anyway.

    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
