I'm couple of episodes in season one of NY and I'm so triggered by the way some of these people and their children are talking to the staff and the people who are taking care of them. Pointing fingers and just plain rude.

There is so much stuff that will get people cancelled in 2024.

I definitely didn't remember any of this.

Luann is unbearable in this season one. She is literally a narcissist in the worst way possible. 

One thing that is consistent today and 10 years ago, Alex and Simon make me

RHOP part 2 reunion:

Maybe it's because I gave the second half of this season a pass, but I did not see the Ascendancy of Mia coming! It is clear at reunion that Mia Has Been Promoted. She will be carrying RHOP going forward.

I don't know how I feel about that as I wanted Mia fired after last season. But this reunion has shown that Mia has learned lessons from her sophomore flop. While she still lies as easily as she breathes, she now knows that she will never outsmart the Jessica Fletchers of RH Twitter. So instead she has embraced her scandal and is now dictating its narrative. The way she talked about knowing Jeremiah was G's made me wonder if this paternity story was made up, as a hook to reel in viewers. That's the problem with Mia's word -- you can never trust it at face value and she will always put a crazy spin on everything.

At the same time, I appreciate that this is a RH without true hate in her soul. She beefs with Karen and Wendy but she's not out for their blood. She learned from Candiace and Gizelle: if you keep targeting the object of your hatred, you get punished. Gizelle gets second seat, and Candiace gets the door. I'm starting to think more and more that Candiace's exit was a mutual parting of ways.

So, who is next for the chopping block? Judging by the package put together to humanize Gizelle (and I wish we had seen a LOT more clips of the amazing Curtis Graves), production's pet is here to stay. When it came to a choice between Candi gal and Giz, Bravo blinked. If Gizelle is never truly punished, though, I don't think she will ever change her methods. And her methods are what are currently sinking the show.

I don't think Robyn is gone --I think she will be demoted to FOH when all is said and done. That will be her punishment for leaving Juan at home. Did you all see Andy dogging her publicly by asking al the husbands why they came to sit behind their wives and Juan didn't? 

Wendy is gone. I can't shake the feeling that she's had a clutch of seasons to prove herself and it hasn't worked out. Nneka OTOH looks like a sane voice on the reunion couch and, as a result, she may get a second season. Her husband also looks like a drama queen so there's that.

Ashley -- on the bubble, but she hasn't done anything in +4 seasons.

Watching Karen after news of her DUI broke is an interesting experience. Karen is my fave HW across all the franchises, and I love that she loves most of this cast. She's definitely back next season, but if she doesn't own her DUI right off the bat, that may have repercussions on how the audience responds to her going forward.

Thank you for posting this! Two long months to go until this finally airs.

i wish they'd air it sooner. This definitely looks tighter narratively than season one. The only thing I was surprised by was the relative lack of Brooks. But Sara is really giving us a SL, and of course the 'break up' of Lesa and Ayan is set to be the linchpin of the season.

I knew Kenya was never going to leave. Bravo ain't that stupid. I am sure we'll hear from Drew and Sheree about them returning soon too. 

Bravo is handling RHOA p*ss poorly. Just make an official cast announcement and start filming. At this point, I am wondering if they are trying to swap Atlanta and Potomac back to their usual airing times--ATL in November and Potomac in April/May. 

Just cast the new women and let's get started. 

All this downtime has made me realize that they need to revive some shows (Dallas & DC) or add some new cities (Vegas, New Orleans, Grosse Pointe, Seattle, London, etc.) to the lineup. There shouldn't be a big gap between when shows are airing. 

Regarding Dubai, I feel like Ayan is about to overplay her hand this season with the Lesa matter. We've seen this tale 1000 times going into the 2nd season of a show. 

Lisa tossed her friendship with Meredith in the trash for Jen. It came back to bite her as the audience ate her alive. 

Kyle switched up on LVP for Adrienne. It resulted in fans waking up to Kyle's antics and she's never been liked since. 

Jacqueline switched up on Danielle with coaxing from Caroline and Tre. It came to bite Jacqueline in the ass when she spent the next 3 seasons feeling the wrath of Tre. 

Lea and Marysol went from being close to mortal enemies. Their hatred for one another made the cast split into two camps and they never recovered in their initial run. I feel like that played a pivotal role in the original cancellation. 

Brandi became pro-Leeanne for an arc and came up with this stupid beef with Stephanie. Then Brandi flipped back to Stephanie. It just made Brandi become hated amongst fans and her tactics to make Leeanne and Stephanie look bad failed. 

Even though it isn't a Housewives show, M2M owns this topic with Quad and Mariah. Quad led the calvary against Mariah for seasons to come only to get a taste of her own medicine this past season.

@NothinButAttitude Thats the tea. Filming allegedly will start in June and they want it to premiere in Nov

As far as the gap, its bc Bravo had too many shows airing last fall. BH, RHOP, Miami and even M2M did not all need to debut at the same time. I beliee hey even overlapped with SLC for a week or two. They could have staggered the premieres. I do feel tere should always be at least on how ont he air and there's enoughthat they can do that

Well how bad Potomac was, they could've sat on that one and gone ahead and put out Dubai. Again, they need more cities. 

And I need Peacock to develop their own reality shows too. After the success of Miami, I still don't get why they haven't revived DC and Dallas. 

DC could've brought back Lynda from the original cast. Moved Wendy over to DC. Cast Meghan McCain's loopy azz. Then cast 5 new women alongside them. With all the stunts going on in DC, they might as well capitalize on it. Do a cast of 3 liberals (1 moderate, 1 waffling between moderate and progressive, 1 progressive), 3 conservatives (1 libertarian, 1 Regan type GOP, and 1 MAGA), and 2 independents. And they need to be movers and shakers in DC--political commentators, lobbyists, politician wives, etc. 

Dallas could've been Cary D., D'Andra, Tiffany M., and Leeanne with a batch of 4 new, diverse women. 

And they could've done an original city with NOLA with Tamica and Reagan from Southern Charm: NOLA and used them to cast the additional 4-6 women.

Gosh, they really planned this out poorly. Indeed, they were showing too many Housewives shows at the same time, and now with the filming gaps for so many cities, this is playing out worse than any Covid-19 hiccups. 

I actually thought/hoped they were already filming Atlanta, especially with all the new twists and turns in the Days of Porsha's Life.

I hate to say it, but I do feel that I've lost the love for RHOP as well. Perhaps the online chatter has finally gotten to me. Or it's just the distasteful stuff that I saw as I was watching Part 2. And now I've seen the infamous clip online this past week and I just feel...nothing.

 

Not true...I feel like how I feel about BH last season. I was done with the season and outside of clips here and there and the first part of this year's reunion, I've been done, done with BH really. I feel RHOP is about to get a similar fate from me.

 

YAAASSSS to you picking all the right ones for the RHOD reboot. Because if I hear about fake Stephanie one more time...lol.

 

I know Tamica was being coy about something filming down in Nola last year, and I was hoping it was her and Reagan getting a Real Housewives of New Orleans off the ground. But crickets.

 

Oh, how I screamed when I saw Karent with Kiki today!!!! 

 

Heads would explode if she popped up next season.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
