This just boggles my mind.

 

Why not make the 3 new women full-time? A show with 5 full-time housewives has NOT worked since probably about NJ during the Gorga/Manzo saga. They cast is too small and typically 1-2 women carry everything while the rest piggyback off of that. While the trailer was good, it'll be Jen and Lisa carrying everything while the other 3 prosper off that. 

 

That aside, it also boggles my mind why Bravo and production does new photo shoots, but doesn't update the credits. That's dumb. If you already rented out a space to shoot new cast photos for the press release, why not go ahead and shoot new opening credits?

Well.... that trailer music is certainly très dramatique! I wish I knew what the drama is in reference to, though? Jen's lawsuit? Heather's black eye? Did she walk into a wall? I'm not getting anything from the newbie(s), either. Did Angie even appear?

BTW, there was a moment in the trailer when Heather looked like someone on another RH show, and that's when I realized that Erika Jayne is morphing into Heather Gay.

In every still shot I see of her, Whitney looks nothing like she does on TV.

I'm not sure if I should be excited or not about RHOSLC. Season 2 disappointed me so hard, I didn't even finish watching the reunion. I think the loss of Mary Cosby is going to be egregious.

Surely Potomac and New Jersey must be returning soon, too.

Ha, so Angie wormed her way into an official "Friend of" role. Well good for her. 

Otherwise, I don't mind the 5 castmembers as long as the supporting friends of are active. We've seen successful seasons in the past of such shows like BH, ATL, and NJ having a strong ensemble of supporting players that weren't official 'wives. 

Side note: This was supposed to be the original cast until the last-minute upgrade of Mary. 

Man, these women hate each other, LOL. I'm excited to see what happens because they've burned through about five seasons worth of animosity and changing alliances in just two years!

Not just bloggers, though she is C&Ding every blog that discusses RH -- including blogs Bravo has relationships with. She's threatening to sue actual news outlets like the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong's NYT, for no discernible reason that I can see. She's leaning heavily into victim mode. Honestly, I doubt she will even show up at reunion at this point.

This screams loud distraction tactic. What a disastrous RH choice.

I felt exhausted watching Ramona during the latter half of last season's RHONY. I felt bad for her in the first half, as it was clear that Leah and Eboni were trying to get a reaction out of her so they could cry racism. Then she went ahead and did their work for them anyway with 'Black Shabat' -- and yes, that reference should strike horror and fear into all our hearts, because it was truly the worst RHONY episode ever committed to celluloid digital.

Nevertheless, I think there would be a massive hole from Legacy without her. She brings something unique, and I'm not talking the Trumper stuff, I'm talking Ramona's own way of being. She is legit eccentric and has zero f***s to give.

There was also a rumor some months back that Luann would not be joining, and that really floored me, because I wouldn't want to watch without her. I think Ramona, Sonja and Luann must in some way be the core cast of Legacy. 

Melissa Gorga apparently said recently that she ran into Ramona in da Hamptons, and that Ramona said she was done with reality TV and has no interest in returning. I'm not convinced it was Ramona's decision to not continue... but it could have been?

, I tried it here since I really did stop watching, but I wanted to see Aspen, but they literally dragged the trip out for me. At 20 minutes is when they finally left and by then, I was over it...outside the fact that Crystal bought up the legal drama of EricFake and the earrings...Crystal of all people. I saw the clip as well as well as saw the massive backlash online to the events of this episode. People are OVER the Coven attacking Sutton and they were seriously throwing the word 'bullying' around. 

 

NOW the DUBAI reunion...was giving. lol. I had a long busy day yesterday so I have not finished yet, but it was GOOD.

    • The throwback, and the randomness of it all has me worried that Jamey had something to do with it.
    • As a PR person, she's undoubtedly written zillions of press releases and presentations, so I don't find it that much of a stretch. But it sure did come out of nowhere. I don't know if any soap has done particularly well with a book plot, though, so I'm apprehensive of where this will go. 
    • Reminder for Tues. May 6 and Wed. May 7: Due to UEFA European Soccer Champions League Semifinals  Y&R and B&B may be partially disrupted in some timezones, but it's not an official preemption.

Total timeframe: three hours 2-5pm EDT on those four dates. On CBS only. BeyondTheGates: This fully officially preempts BTG in all timezones in USA and Canada. Tues. April 29, Wed. April 30, Tues.

    • Stephanie writing a novel is odd.  She's never seemed interested in writing or much of a creative type.  Is One Stormy Night a nod to the primetime Days episode from the early 90's?  That would literally have nothing to do with Stephanie, nor were any of the characters featured in that special closely related to her IIRC.  Although One Stormy Night isn't a super creative title or anything, so it's probably just a coincidence.  And, yes, it was very rude for Alex to just take Stephanie's personal, private writing without asking lol.
    • And its 2025, not the 1970s, 80s, 90s... just bc pre-emptions have been a thing for decades, doesn't mean there shouldnt already be ways to deal with it in the modern era. Airing th episodes in the markets that can and putting them up and directing viewers to CBS.com to see them for free and of course Paramount Plus for those subscribers, seems like a reasonable compromise. Today's tv market leans heavily towards streaming so there is no reason why they shouldnt leverage that when it comes to this
    • Anita Dupree is Ruth Marshall from Generations. Ruth also a past of being a singer who gave it up because of raising a family and having a husband.

    • Your right, as opposed to other matriarchs, even Nancy Hughes, Bert had a vital life outside of her family. She wasn't just sitting in her kitchen waiting for someone to stop by and cry. She volunteered, and later (thanks actually to Pam Long) had a job running the Patient Advocacy program, had friends, it didn't seem weird if she was at a party or an event, (with Nancy even with Marland it was like she was tagging along and every felt responsible for including her)  Bert was kind of a role model for aging gracefully and independently. I dont understand why they didnt bring a recast Mike and Hope back when Alan returned.  Your right, his animosity towards Ed and his branch, seemed forced....but not as much as the years of Alan hating on the Lewis family, then even worse, the Coopers..(like they would be a match for Alan..they would be totally beneath his notice.) They should have had Mike in constant oppostion to Alan and Roger (Ed was too docile and had his own problems at home) especially if Alan was involved with Alex.
    • Loving the show these days, one week into the post Ron era and I am feeling the difference. First off, thrilled to see Steve and Kayla together, and with their daughter. Ron never cared about this legacy couple. Shawn asking Steve to help him steal the drug is very much, finally, in character, for Bo's son. Bo would absolutely do the same thing. I am excited about this whole story, and now Xander is clearly in the mix. Will Titan provide the resources to help Kayla synthesize the drug, save Bo, and then take credit?  Leo was not too bad today but he is still obnoxious. Gabi and Philip though... now that has more spark than she has ever had with dull JJ. Here for this! Especially since it seems he gets to keep his stolen Co CEO job (and honestly, he should, Victor would want him at Titan. I think the solution is Xander gets Titan and Philip gets Dimera).  I liked Xander and Alex too, it is good to see them working together after the whole mess up last year with their names. Stephanie's book was an odd thing. Guess Alex will try to get it published with or without her permission. Kind of rude to just walk off with it.
