Members Faulkner Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Wait, is that roller coaster intro new? Are we about to get a Six Flags over Georgia tie-in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Well since the Real Housewives are like modern day soap operas, the timespan of the arc from humble beginnings (50's) to burning out (2010's, etc.) is also truncated. In terms of quality, I think we're at the early/mid 2000's, with pop culture relevance still somewhere in the 90's. Yes, you are so correct about social media behind the scenes becoming a whole other separate storyline that the shows will hodge-podge together the following season so viewers who don't follow all that fodder can understand why so-and-so has beef with so-and-so. Like a printed magazine that hits the shelves when all the juicy details were already laid out in full online. The social media aspect, like you said, can hurt or help a show. On one hand, it stirs interest; on the other hand, no one gets the full story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted April 29, 2023 Members Share Posted April 29, 2023 Sheree keeps making poor decisions, part 55. I thought last year's jailbird was a low, but Martell is giving me Ralph vibes with an extra helping of Grumpy Narcissism. I've just looked him up and he was on Love & Marriage Huntsville. I believe the phrase "narcissist manchild" was used to describe him, so I guess my take wasn't completely wrong. Sheree... you keep making bad decisions in business, the bedroom, and friendship. Why the hell is she roping this stranger in to go after Kandi? Kandi is going to annihilate her and him. That rolling see-through staircase in Sheree's intro is straight out of the Disney channel, and it's also making me dizzy, lol. At least intros got an upgrade, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted April 29, 2023 Members Share Posted April 29, 2023 OC Well, it appears someone already leaked the intro...without the taglines. That said...UPDATED!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted April 30, 2023 Members Share Posted April 30, 2023 Yeah, the RH social media ecosystem is,so big now, I actually need to check Twitter to understand what is going on in its full context. It's light for Miami, which is why I think the reboot has flourished -- the important drama is on the show. But for NJ, everything, every allegation, is happening OFF the show and on social media. And I believe the ebbing show,ratings reflect why that's not working for NJ. Although reunion will likely see an influx of viewers. Everyone is waiting for reunion so that all threads are brought together, perhaps for one final time. So do you think RH is fast approaching its 2010 burnout era? I hope (foolishly perhaps) it can turn it around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 1, 2023 Members Share Posted May 1, 2023 I think what happened with NYC (which so far blew up in Bravo's face; but we'll see how the new NYC fares) is eventually going to happen to other longstanding Housewives shows. A total retooling; a brand new cast; and/or completing retiring the OG's and letting certain city franchises die off. But who knows? I thought they were going to have a Come to Jesus moment when Russell Armstrong committed suicide yet they get pluggin' and chuggin' along and only got bigger and better (so to speak). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted May 2, 2023 Members Share Posted May 2, 2023 Yay? I feel like I’m going to hate watch this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted May 2, 2023 Members Share Posted May 2, 2023 LOL the contrast. I wonder if I'm going to hate-watch it, too @Antoyne. Most are Instagram influencers. Watching Influencers 'at work' is going to get repetitive fast -- basically it's Kim Kardashian sitting in her make-up chair droning "I am working, like, so hard." We also have not heard much about the show since they posed onstage at Bravo Con (October 2022), and that kind of worries me. I do like what I've seen of Jenna Lyons, though. I'm going to give this a chance. After all, Real Housewives of Dubai had trouble getting off the ground, but saved itself with a slow build and watchable reunion. I also think the RHUGT #5 news has pacified me a little bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 2, 2023 Members Share Posted May 2, 2023 Wow, some real A-listers there. Best of luck with that. Geezus, Teck from 1999's Real World Hawaii? Blast from the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted May 2, 2023 Members Share Posted May 2, 2023 Haha. I'm just excited for the chaos of New York City to return, and it sounds like this new cast brought that and more. Did we get news about the fifth season, yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 2, 2023 Members Share Posted May 2, 2023 ... and that's an immediate eyeroll for me. I want to see old money not instagram money. I suppose this is the more modern-day version of a Bethenny rags-to-riches tale? Yeah, I'll be hate-watching and see if it turns to love, just as I mock-watched Potomac's first clunky season (remember all the talk about etiquette?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
