This really took me back! I remember getting chills watching this. Caroline Manzo's prediction may have been close to being right -- until the judge handed down a sentence on Teresa, too.

These days, I tend to side-eye Caroline for standing behind her brother-in-law for his terrible assault on Dina and her current guy. That being said, I wonder what it would be like if Caroline returned to RHONJ.

Worth...the...wait.

That was such a nice premiere episode. I was so happy to see the girls again. I was so happy to see the houses. I was happy to see the wealth (Yes, Alexia's I mean your car elevator). It was such a nice setup to get caught up with everyone and all around a simple concept: the return of an OG. Whether loved or loathed, Larsa was a part of this show and went on to have 'some' fame, so of course the idea of her coming back was going to be met with some envy and shade, but still...good idea.

 

For me, it went something like this...

 

THE OGS

 

ALEXIA. One thing I always liked about her has been that she has put it out there. And it was nice to see how Frankie was doing. Shame Peter and her new man are not getting along. And yes, scandalous already with the stuff with Herman. And the gay lover wants to meet her? Wow.

 

MARYSOL. Every remembrance of Mama Elsa was gold, but it was nice to see Marysol come out of her shell. I was not bugged...except for her trying to start stuff with Kiki. 

 

LISA. Wow. Lenny has aged. I was shocked. I was happy to hear they find had kids. I was not happy to hear that they grew apart.

 

ADRIANA. Oh, how I miss her raven hair. And her old face. That said, she hasn't changed at all. And it was already nice to see this rivalry between her and Larsa.

 

LARSA. She was just kinda there tbh. I didn't hate her. I didn't like her. I was pretty indifferent. It was just funny how Adriana kept taking pop shots at her.

 

THE NEWBIES.

 

NICOLE. She was kinda there, but I didn't find her as boring as I expected to find her. And oooh at Marysol already disliking her. Shades of Marysol vs Lea Black?  

 

JULIA. Lord, she is such a sweetheart. I like her.

 

GUERDY. LOVE. There was nothing about her and how she moved that I did not like. Workholics unite!!! lol. 

 

And just cuz...I love Kiki, too.

 

And that bartender at Larsa's Hot Girl Summer Party....YUUUUMMMMM!!!!

 

Good start. I MADE IT, YA'LL!!!

Did you catch Mama Elsa's (and the other OGs) words from S1-3 echoing over the gorgeous shots of Miami? I thought that was a nice bridge at the beginning. 

I honestly cannot wait to 'rewatch' RHOM through your posts (should you continue to watch) and see if your initial impressions change or not!

I don't want to give too much away, because the beauty of this reboot is you discovering what happens yourself. However, I love the attention Peacock pays to the HWs' individual stories, the slow build. 

Also, I've said this before, but like RHONY, the sense of place/atmosphere is so prevalent that Miami becomes like an additional character.

If I continue...GUUUUUURRRRRL I already have it set in my brain to make it Appointment TV every Tuesday with tacos and wine.  

But seriously, one thing that RHOM has always done well is the voiceover. I go back to the Season 2 voiceover post-Larsa and Cristy's exit often. It was so refreshed with the Old Miami vs New Miami vibe with shouts of the various views of Miami society throughout. So it was the same with Mama Elsa's voiceover. I always get a mild chill when she says 'you never know what destiny has in store for you...' I thought it was well done as a recap to the 4 OGs with the shots of the city. God, if I didn't know so many...I mean this in a nice way...have-nots from Miami...I wouldn't mind going there. It's so beautiful to look. 

 

And heheh every time they showed someone's houses, I kept thinking 'ooooh, I bet Cat got her life watching all this furniture porn.' Because I loved all the houses. I think Alexis (with that car elevator) was my favorite. And Lisa's pool that looks like it connects right to the ocean. I was like OMG Woooooooooow! 

 

They don't have their first group event again until Episode 5, right? I think there are enough individual stories going on that it is not completely needed and it will give a nice build when they come together again.

 

Another thing...along with the backdrop of Miami as its own character a la NY...that I liked about Miami was its large cast of supporting colorful characters. That was another reason...oh, and the fact they were a group of friends...that Season 2 was THAT girl. So I giggled at the Elaine flashback. Even in death, Herman is one. Alexia's kids. Now Herman's ex lover. That gay assistant giving Alexia the tea. Kiki herself. I'm looking forward to more.

LOL We are so harsh about Andy and BH! And no wonder -- I always feel a little conned/taken advantage of by this franchise . Everything is so tightly controled, scripted, contrived. (The fact that Kyle goes for a working lunch with the producers to thrash out SLs and ideas before filming starts really has me side-eying). And Rinna does nothing all season until the very end when she accuses another cast member of some crime or other. Which.... I understand may be happening this year!

Prediction: we will see the words "DID SHE... DIDN'T SHE SAY IT" and 'WHO DO YOU BELIEVE" in this promo alongside footage of Kathy Hilton fleeing the cameras.
