I dont think Kelly has the best motives when it comes to befriending Vicki. She probably watched the show and knows that its not wise for newbies to get on her bad side so she chose the winning team. Good for her bc had she stuck with the hate squad, she'd end up on the losing end when Vicki reclaims her crown as queen as they'd throw her under the bus and Vicki would remember how she was treated.

 

Im on Eddie's side on the Ryan debate. He is too old to be supported by his mother. Most divorces are due to money issues and he's going to have to accept that he's never going to get that $8000 back if he and Tamra are going to survive bc he's just not going to get it, ever. Tamra's going to have to accept that he'll resent her for it and will bring it up in arguments and she has no one to blame but herself

 

Heather and Terry. They love their family but I get the feeling that they dont necesarily like each other. He appreciates the time away from them which is kind of messed up since he's a doctor and already misses out on so much. I see divorce in their future but I hope they can make it bc they do have a nice family

 

Meaghan...irrelevant. Why is she back?

 

Shannon. i dont have any thoughts on her except that she is coming across very petty with this Vicki feud. it makes her look bad, not Vicki. She needs to get over herself

Heather & Terry are too aware of the cameras now. It's funny that Heather pointed out on the OC Special that Gretchen was faking stories when I think that Heather has been faking stories since s9. I think this Terry/Heather current story is fake a h*ll as Heather truly knows that if Terry doesn't work like he does, she won't live the fancy life she loves. They need to cut the bulls--t with this story. 

 

@Cheap21, I agree that Kelly is aligning herself with Vicki b/c she watched the show; however, I do think that she'll genuinely grow to like Vicki as the other women are judgmental twats. Especially Shannon. One of the big joys of this season is seeing the mass audience flip on Shannon, who thought she was a fan favorite just b/c she won some E! housewives poll about 2 years ago. 

 

Shannon's scenes with David were so uncomfortable and lacking chemistry. There's no way that David isn't stepping out on her again. I burst into laughter too when Shannon questioned if Kelly loves her husband. This heffa is so damn deluded.

I like Kelly because she's smart enough to lay out all her dirty laundry about her marriage before any of the women had the chance to talk about her behind her back. No marriage is perfect and Kelly has boldly acknowledged the flaws in her own. She has wisely aligned herself with Vicki who already has the majority of viewers behind her after the rest of the women demonstrated just how petty they're going to be about this Brooks debacle.

 

It isn't that I blindly believe everything Vicki says, but I think she was honest about her "sympathy and a casserole" comment. That's what she wanted and none of the women gave it to her. They hated Brooks more than they liked Vicki. She will emerge from this season back on top - that is a foregone conclusion - she makes for great television and isn't a vile victim like Tamra. 

 

Tamra created a monster with Ryan and she's done NOTHING to get him to grow up. He's a spoiled man child with zero ambition and Eddie is 100% right. It must gall him to see Ryan take his wife's money and throw it away. Say what you will about Simon Barney but he wasn't wrong about Ryan. Tamra is on thin ice being friends with his baby mama - she will turn on Tamra in an instant.

 

Meghan is totally irrelevant and unlikeable and   I don't want to follow her journey to motherhood at all. 

 

Terry and Heather are on the contrived storyline train. If Heather wanted Terry to work less she would not have bought that land and built that ostentatious house. She would have bought a simple home and stopped living an extravagant life. It was surprising for Terry to admit he performed surgery on 4 hours sleep -  I'd be uneasy about that if I was a patient.

I like it and don't like it. I like the update with the skyline and bridge, and it's cute that NJ still includes the families. Something about the color almost looks like a parody though, or a Housewives intro from outside the U.S.  Teresa's tagline is good. The rest are "meh."  The actual phrase is "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me," so right off the bat, Jacqueline's doesn't make sense, if she's trying to put a spin on the phrase.

Honestly...Carole, go drop dead. She is USELESS this season and her comments about Jules' eating disorder were outrageous. Certainly, Jules appears to have some issues lingering around, but why be so cruel and mean and point them out to her on camera in front of everyone? Digging up Barracuda Heather and swinging the two of them around an ice rink didn't make me nostalgic - it just highlighted how Carole has ZERO purpose other than being a FOA (Friend of Andy).

 

Sonja sorting out her basement with Dorinda was sad. Sonja is likeable, at least to me and I think she's covered up a lot of pain with booze and sunniness and giggles and bad business deals. Sonja wants to be part of a family unit - cared for and caring for others - an old fashioned housewife. She is one of the realer housewives and that sadness was real, how dare that bitch Bethenny try to freeze her out.  

 

Dorinda has a really bold sense of style, that cape jacket in a million colours she wore to Jules' house was beautiful and she looked great. She gave Jules great advice. 

 

Ramona is still hilarious.

 

LuAnn: "All of my friends are happy for me except you bitches!" - I can't wait for next week, she is a legendary housewife with the last few seasons and the way she's let it fly. I love that she is over Carole and Bethenny and isn't going to play this game. Team LuAnn. She is a straight up badass.

This is the first time I've been excited about RHONJ in, like, 5 years. It is giving me old school vibes. I'm so glad those awful twins and that other one with the thug husband were sent packing.

 

LOL as soon as they launched into the blood chat, I swear I could FEEL every male, gay or straight, (and a couple of females) switch channels.

 

I thought the way Bethenny and Carole treated Jules was disgusting. Look, it's clear something is going on. Jules's marriage is self-destructing, she probably has zero appetite and is super stressed. She is also very, very intimidated by Bethenny. I feel that these Two Bitches prodding Jules about her food issues might trigger a falling off of the wagon for Jules. A mean part of me thinks B&C would love that, just so they could be 'proved right' about her anorexia. Another mean part of me thinks that B&C are extremely competitive with Jules about her thinness and food issues in a weird way. Both are pretty twiglike themselves.

 

Dorinda makes me love her so much this episode. She was such a good friend to both Jules and Sonja (not to mention Bethenny last episode). This is why Dorinda is such a good addition to the franchise. Messiness aside (and who isn't messy on RHoNY?), Dorinda has lived a great life and she is kind. She is a mother hen to these women, and that warmth is very much needed on a show where the relationships can be very sharp and caustic.

 

Luann is so boss in another great suit and her statement necklace. I can't wait for next week when she shades them all. Honestly, do B&C have any fans left? They are coming across awfully this season.

 

Oh, and Bethenny handing her blood-stained pillow to her sweet chauffeur for 'cleaning' was BARF INDUCING.  I would rather burn the damn thing than ever show a period-stained pillow to anybody! She's rich enough to just get rid of the thing!

Im with Luann when it comes to Bethenny, Carole and even Ramona for bringing the BS back up

 

Bethenny and Carole need to STFU about Jules weight. The two skinniest bitches on the show have the nerve to comment about someone being thin.

    • You hit the nail on the head.  Nope, you are not alone. I like her too. 
    • Out of these, I hope she isn't connected to Samantha and Tyrell. I just don't see a long term story there. I hadn't thought of a connection to Leslie but now that you bring it up...what if we find out June is Haley's sister and both were abandoned and raised in foster care. June ended up on the streets and Haley ended up with the Duprees. The mother who dumped them in foster care? Leslie. If they end up making Eva a stolen child of Nicole's, it would be a good way to develop some family for Leslie to help keep her on the canvas. She could ultimately make up with her kids and then she'd have access to Bill's money/power which could help her become a long term rival for the Duprees.
    • This was a HUGE story on the show for many years. Justin (Ross's brother) and Jackie Marler were Phillip's real parents. They showed a lot of the backstory in flashback when Jackie came on the show. Jackie caught Justin in bed with another woman. She was so devastated she divorced him immediately. She found out she was pregnant. I'm a little hazy on this--I THINK she told him she had an abortion, but maybe not. Maybe she just never told him she was pregnant. Anyway, she decided to give the baby up for adoption. She went to Europe (I think it was Amsterdam) to have the baby. She had the same doctor as Elizabeth Spaulding, who also was pregnant. The doctor was a personal friend of Alan's. He told Alan that Elizabeth's baby would be born dead and she would not be able to have more children. Instead of telling his wife the truth, Alan conspired with the doctor to do a baby switch. The doctor knew Jackie was planning to give her baby up, and she agreed to let the Spauldings have Phillip. Elizabeth woke up from the surgery and was told Jackie's baby was hers. Jackie almost immediately regretted it. She insinuated herself into Alan and Elizabeth's life so she could be near Phillip. They all became good friends. When Alan and Elizabeth returned to the states, they stayed with Jackie at first. Eventually, Alan and Elizabeth divorced and Jackie married him so she could be Phillip's stepmother. It was a disatrous marriage and they also divorced.  Justin found out the truth. Justin and Jackie remarried. Elizabeth found out and wanted them to have custody of Phillip. Alan, of course, was furious but for some odd reason eventually agreed to it. (He did not know at the time Justin and Jackie were the bio parents).  Ross and Alan had kind of an up and down relationship over the years. Ross wanted to BE like Alan in the beginning. When he was married to Carrie they were actually close friends with Alan and Hope. Their relationship totally degraded when Alan was chasing Trish Lewis and she chose Ross instead. Yes, and he also did not approve of how Alan dealt with Phillip much of the time. So they never became friends again.
    • It just does not feel like Y&R anymore, even if a lot of the actors are familiar. It's just... completely lost, and I've never not felt it couldn't be turned around until now and the past few years. Stunt castings (Colleen Zenk) do not remedy the mess. At all. The focus is all wrong; there is no focus. None at all.
    • 1) Ross and Alan had a history aside from Phillip. In the early '80's Alan torpedoes Ross' campaign for DA in retribution for Trish Lewis leaving him and falling for Ross. Ross then assisted Alex in kicking Alan out of Spaulding. Then in the late '80's, Vanessa and Ross break up over her working at Spaulding with Alan, and she's briefly engaged to Alan. Then Alan shot Phillip accidently, and well....you get (part) of the picture.  Phillip trusted Ross, and their closeness really chafed at Alan. I do not think Ross really initially held Alan adopting Phillip against him. Jackie had lied to Justin and had the baby in secret.  Jackie discovered Justin had had an affair and divorced him. When she came to town, she actually ended up marrying Alan to be close to Phillip. Jackie and Justin eventually remarried and had a daughter named Sam. Jackie dies, and Justin leaves town about a year later. Justin makes a brief return, but it's mostly tied to Sam and then Phillip leaves in '91. Justin leaves town again.  Rick and Phillip patch up their friendship, although there are some other rough patches. 2) No, Rick and Fletch generally got along. But I don't recall them interacting much afterward either after the divorce. Meredith had left of her own accord, and Fletch and Rick drifted into other stories.
    • Has Sonny been a mobster since Guza? Yes, he has. Back then was he portrayed somehow as a good man, righteous? No, he was not.  Now, fly through time. Sonny has been credited with taking care of Stone & then Robin. Before you could turn around twice & shout! Sonny donated enough money to build a wing of the hospital in honor of Stone. IMO Mulcahey was on the right track. Maybe that lead to this? We may thank him yet.
    • I totally agree and that's why I wish they had played up Mary's connection to Reginald because I think Alexander had more chemistry with Considine. They never explored her backstory and just thought Mary belonged back with her family. I think a better story would be if she rejected Vince and wanted to stay with Reginald. I know we've litigated Reginald's character, but I wish they had played it that way because it would have kept the Loves and the McKinnons connected beyond just Vicky and Jake.

    • I just saw this old-ish quote from Jane Krakowski, mentioning the circus story as a worst (she said it was a ratings grab) along with the flood. She also mentioned that the reason her character was called TR is because they didn't come up with a name for her - it stood for "The Runaway." https://www.soapcentral.com/soapcentral/news/2017/0629-jane_krakowski_search_for_tomorrow.php What was TR's exit, anyway? She left before the show ended and then returned for the finale, right? Did she ever have love again after Ryder? This is John Mahoney around five minutes, right? I never knew he was on a soap.

      I sometimes wondered why Evie was recast. I get why now. I've always had a soft spot for Colleen Dion, but she is very, very green here.
    • Mary Carney was the best of the Mary recasts. I think everyone I've seen talk about the show has said this, or almost everyone. The show just gave up too quickly. I agree the story was over. I don't think the show ever developed Mary's career enough to make viewers care about that aspect. I remember reading an interview with Ilene Kristen where she talked about how much support she got from viewers with Jill and Frank (I think it was from around then). I don't know if Roger/Delia was always the plan (wasn't he interested in Mary early on?) but I sometimes think they threw that together to try to make viewers feel Delia had no moral high ground. Frank was an interesting construct as a man who looked like the ideal politician yet behaved...like a typical politician. I think that's why he mostly took off once they cast Daniel Hugh Kelly, who fit the duality.
