It wasn't awful, it WAS entertaining...but it was all conflict driven. After this season I have to ask, "where can they go?"...all these women hate one another, it's a Mean Girls' Club...what would the next season look like? How could it possibly work?

DC and Miami were both flops. Why they haven't done a Real Housewives of Houston or Dallas is puzzling to me.

Yeah, that's my "concern" too. There's a real hatred/dislike of a lot of those broads, blondes vs. brunettes. To say they're going to try to be friends is just phony and they're only putting themselves in the same situations because the cameras are rolling.

Meanwhile, it'll be interesting to see how Atlanta fares in season 4 since NeNe and Kim reportedly do not share ANY scenes together...

I think ATL will be absolutely fine with Nene and Kim having separate narratives because it's HONEST and in line with what transpired last season with their epic fallout. It's also useful that they are strong enough individuals, both with solid senses of humour. The same cannot be said for NYC, would you watch Jill in her own narrative? Alex? Kelly? Cindy? I sure as [!@#$%^&*] wouldn't. They're all unbearable.

ATL has ditched dead weight castmembers (DeShawn and Lisa) without a hiccup because it kept the show fresh.

After starting off merely amused by NYC, now I'm addicted. I have finished Season 1 (including the reunion and lost footage episodes) and will be continuing. I absolutely cannot stand Alex & Simon and Ramona. Ugh. But I enjoy LuAnn, Jill and Bethenny. We shall see if THAT continues! lol

I just watched NYC Reunion Part 1 this morning (I'm behind in a lot of shows thanks to my internship), and it was difficult to watch. These women were just downright brutal to each other. Even Andy was disgusted by their behavior. The only person I really respected was Sonja because she really explained her behavior this season and you just tell her heart is broken by everything she's dealt with since her marriage fell apart. She is a great addition.

The BH trailer looks great! Very excited for September! Good news I heard earlier this week is that OC was renewed for seventh season! Woo!

Aw, I liked Lisa alot (I liked her husband even more! Yum, yum!!) but I had read somewhere that she declined to do a 3rd season when the Bravo producers wanted to make up fabrications (i.e. lies) in order to give her a more interesting story.

Phaedra? I honestly don't remember an actual "story" for her, other than her talking about different booty types and the scene of her baby projectile pooping during a photo shoot. I like her, certainly more than Cynthia (yawn!) but don't remember anything significant. Guess I gotta rewatch season 3 when they repeat it!

It'll be interesting to see how your opinion changes if it does bc I couldnt stand Alex and Ramone in season 1 either. That completely changed with seaosn 3. Jill was very likeable in season 1 and 2 and I hated her by 3. Always loved Bethenny. Had no real opinion of LuAnn early on but that turned to hate in season 3

Yep, should be fun to see what happens. I will say this about Ramona, and to a lesser extent Alex: They do provide a lot of drama. Bethenny is turning out to be really cool. LuAnn seems so... neutral usually. We shall see! Started Season 2, the drama went up a bit lol

Crazy Kelly! She seems normal enough at first but you'll soon see that the bitch is nuts!

Thats one thing I couldnt stand about LuAnn. She was scared to have an opinion and tried to hard too please everyone. She definetly starts to take a side in season 3 and by season 4 she will have earned the title of the biggest bitch of all the housewives series. She's awful

Ramona's harmless. She talks trash and says inapprorpiate things but she doesnt mean any of that with malice. She's about having fun and positive energy and the other women irritate her when they try to bring that down. I hated her until I finally was able to "get" her. She's cool.

Im not sure if I recall Alex being anymore likeable in season 2 than she was in season 1 but I do know that her friendship with Bethanny in season 3 does wonders for her. Thats when I realized she's genuinely a good person as well.

Lisa Wu Hartwell, if she's claiming that she declined a third season because Bravo wanted to create fabrications, is an outrageous liar. Lisa's changed her names, been convicted of fraud, sued multiple times, lost custody of her children...all sort of vile things that I'm certain she didn't want getting out in the open.

Plus, she and her husband had to move out of their glamorous Atlanta home and into some dump in the middle of nowhere they've owned for years because they hit a financial wall.

Phaedra, OMG, re-watch her scenes. She was just hilarious!

I loved Lisa. She was the only one in season 1 that actually worked and came across as a competent and succesful business women on her own. The other women seemed to be latching onto their husband's (or man's) money but Lisa was out there making her own paper. She also seemed to be the most rational of the bunch while still contributing and getting involved (unlike DeShawn). I miss her and would gladly welcome her back. She's definetly better than boring Cynthia

Now that would have been good tv Edited by Cheap21

    • Breakdown writers can pitch stories and obviously they have influence over what is included in the breakdown but MVJ is the final decision maker. It depends on the faith you have in MVJ if you feel Carlivati is going to be a problem. I don't think a throwaway having a book author named after him is a sign he's taken over the show. Most people didn't even catch the reference.
    • Tamara Tunie reading that damn letter is exactly why I wish this show had more experienced actors.

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
