Members Gray Bunny Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 I have mixed feelings on the RHOA trailer. It's good to see vets Porsha and Cynthia back, and I guess Phaedra even though she's become such a one trick pony for me. I don't have a clue about all the new women so I can't be excited or disappointed either way. Same for Shamea. I think it's kinda funny she's been around the group for SO long and now she finally gets the spotlight. Yes, the same thing happened with Marlo, but Marlo had already given us many memorable moments. Shamea has always been just... there. Oh, and Drew is back. Yay. So I'm cautiously optimistic. It's a 50/50 on this being pass/fail, similar to the RHONY Season 5 soft reboot of 2012. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 Sorry but I found that trailer to be gutter and underwhelming. Kenya's part was the only part that peaked my interest. And Phaedra did what... come and throw her flabby a** in a circle? Chile, bye. Back to the drawing board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 30 Members Share Posted January 30 Well now that I had time to think about it while at work...It looks like Bravo is giving Kenya the Linnethia Leakes Special to me. Shady actions all the way out the door. Seriously though...my feelings for that trailer are mixed. Part of the reason RHOA has had a hard time IMHO is that it's been taking lashings that Bravo really want to give to Nene. How else do they keep finding every which way they can to damage their once # 1 show? So with that in mind, I can't with that trailer. A BETTER trailer...what I mentioned online...would be to show the buildup to Kenya's event. We already know her vs Brit (along with Porsha's return) is the main storyline. That Brit and Kenya had two confrontations at least. Kenya could have bowed out mid-season with Porsha taking the spotlight with her incoming feud with Drew and then the return of Shady Phae Phae at the end. All of the chaos seen or heard about online could have been teased a la BH's Season 9 with LVP's exit if played right. And all they gave was THIS??? I'm interested. Because the trailer definitely left A LOT out I hear. Good. Keep me intrigued cuz I am. But that could have been so much better. And I feel underwhelmed. Keep in mind, I've only seen the trailer once. Of the new girls, I can't wait for Angela Oakley. And that Flavor Flav moment was hilarious. Kelli...not sure. I already dislike Brit from the leg thing given I already know what the audience will think of her. And assuming Production shows EVERYTHING...which I feel they won't since the trailer already seems very 'get Kenya'...Brit might be in the wrong. And if Production don't show it, I am sure Kenya will bring the receipts. I don't mind seeing how Shemea is now though it was the S9 Shemea (and her rivalry with Shady Phae Phae) which made me like her. This new one could be a great position if she picks a 'showing her wealth' lane...something RHOA does need. Shady Phae Phae...well...let's not. lol. And we know Porsha is Production's Fave so *shrugs* I'm basically wait and see. So basically Kenya is just a FOH. Or worse...is getting the S7 Porsha Williams edit/punishment. Yeah outside of S9 and her rivalry with Shady Phae Phae she has not given much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted January 31 Author Members Share Posted January 31 She’s less than a FOH. They giving her the Meilli treatment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 You are not alone on that. That scene was extremely chilling. So I did not mind at all Sai going in about it in her Confessional. Because Brynn was just a mess last night. And now she's been all coy/smug with Production? Meanwhile Ubah was a mess when she got back to the house. Yes. Very much so. All I want to see her do is own it. Like LuAnn did on NY back in the day. THANK YOU!!! I thought it was just me. If anything, I felt Jessel had a glow-up. Compare her at the first cast trip last year to now, and it's night and day. She brings fashion in a way she did not before, and I love her vibe. Ooooo not Meilli!!! smh. I feel such a way about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 (edited) RHOA I didn't miss Simon's name one bit. I hope Porsha has something more to offer other than her divorce and this feud with Drew. Her divorce is old news to me and I honestly don't care. I pray this Brit/Kenya scandal does not play out all season. Once Kenya exits wrap that [!@#$%^&*] up! I completely disagree with those comments about Shamea. Shamea has always been a good addition to the show. She didn't have explosive moments like Marlo but certainly memorable ones. Now that Shemea’s a main housewife watch her upstage and become a fan favorite. She's full of personality, well-connected in Atlanta, and has many jobs. She has money, she has a husband, and a child, and I believe her story will touch the viewers. I love that Atlanta is being anchored by Porsha and Shamea who have been friends since childhood.

Members Cat Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Just saw this comment! Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but while Gretchen is not as dumb as Alexis, that girl is no brainiac. Tamra ran circles around her and Slade back in the day. Part of Tamra's power lies in the bad secrets she knows about you. Gretchen and Slade had stuff to hide, and so Tamra always had leverage over them. Jennifer Pedranti is also not as smart as Tamra, but she lays almost all her cards out on the table. Consequently, Tamra is less able to threaten her. I'm not sure Gretchen understands this nuance, and while I welcome the Shannon-Gretchen-Jen alliance, she could also mess things up badly like Alexis did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 The problem with the trailer IMO was that there wasn't any clear story anchoring it. With some of the other recent trailers (BH comes to mind) you could glean the big stories (Dorit vs Kyle). Kenya's Downfall came up very briefly and was instantly, lightly dismissed. IMO, it should have been the main inflection point of the trailer because it required the group to pick a side. Shamea and Porsha kind of stood out at the end, but you had to wait 3 mins to get there. I didn't get a sense of the 3 newbies as independent entities, but sometimes that happens with these trailers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taoboi Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 I was wondering where you got that from...DUH Reunion. Speaking of...the trailer... Hehe. Great minds @Cat...we did it same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 (edited) @Cat Lol. Don't feel bad I tried to post a video from Instagram last night I couldn't do it either. RHOP The reunion trailer actually looks good. Miles ahead of the season for sure, I can not wait to kiki at them all interacting with Karen’s picture frame. Speaking of Karen I ain't mad at her for getting the Kim Richards treatment. Even if it's just a short clip. She's still the diva of the show! Not TJ spilling all the tea Please register in order to view this content and messy Eddie. I love the chanting at the end. This looks fun.

Members Cat Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Wait! How did you DO THAT Please register in order to view this content I am flopping today with the embedding (thanks for understanding my struggle @DemetriKane !). But what isn't flopping is this reunion trailer which is 100% ! February 16th? We have to wait that long? Scrap all the remaining episodes and screen this on Sunday IMMEDIATELY. Karen may not be there in person, but her video message certainly left Wendy in a flap. Unpopular opinion: Wendy not-so-secretly loves to play put-upon, righteous victim. Still, I cannot believe i am saying this, but Wendy Unleashed (and Eddie) may have guaranteed themselves a spot on RHOP next year just from that trailer alone. Everyone's foot on Mia's neck is literally Chef's Kiss. She should be called out left and right for The Lies, The Lies! Stacey still giving me first-season Kenya Moore vibes. You know TJ was a boyfriend for hire. Ashley Darby giving me approximately zilch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 31 Members Share Posted January 31 Reunion looks good! I'm all for them coming after Mia Please register in order to view this content There must be A LOT of talk about MIA Karen and Triflin' Mia to fill up 3 parts. Agreed on Wendy. On one hand, I'm glad she's not the perennial outsider anymore. On the other hand, her becoming the friendly middleman Switzerland in most of the feuds doesn't ring true. And, as much as I always wanted to like her, I think overall she doesn't have the most likeable onscreen personality. I do find myself kinda eyerolling or cringing at some of her attempts at wit in her talking heads. But she'll likely be back another year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
