Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

I think the franchise needs to reorganize and revamp again.  It's just too toxic and too much focus on shade and drama.

 

Current producers need to review the following shows and seasons where they got the balance right.

 

RHONY season 3 (and I still believe kelly and her claims that Bravo made her go on the trip to Scary Island).

 

RHOBH  season 1 (nicr balance between trips, friendships , individual day to day stuff, and organic train wreck moments).

 

RHOC season 4 (naked wasted true...but still more about their lives without contrived bravo mandated gatherings.  And no fighting over airtime..jist being themselves...even Gretchen then).

 

RHOA...season 3 and 4.  (Loved kim exposing phadra for lying about her due date...and providing proof that she was a nurse.  Marlo and Sharee...their season 4 smackdown.).

From the sounds of things from Tamra Sue, OC sounds a bit divided this season, with certain women only hanging out with each other instead of group gatherings. With 7 main castmembers, I guess it was bound to happen. Hope it doesn't get too toxic. 

 

P.S. Jeff Timmons' name better be mentioned heavily at some point...

Tamra was speaking to the HuffPost, here it is but you got the gist of it! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tamra-judge-on-a-softer-side-of-kelly-dodd-shannons_us_594f0f66e4b0f078efd9823e

 

Because everybody is split, looks like there will be more focus on individual lives or 1-on-1 interaction between the women. That's a lot like how OC was before Cangergate happened in Season 10. I really enjoyed OC back then, and in many ways this way of filming could diffuse some of the toxicity.

 

#Cancerscam tarnished a lot of the participants, Vicki of course (even though I end up rooting for her against the three witches), but also all the others. They were always thrown together and because they were trying to trip Vicki up, and she was trying to sweep everything under the carpet, the toxicity built and built. Separating the two groups into their respective corners will hopefully calm things down a bit without taking away from the drama between the women. Given that Shannon is still on the show, I doubt the drama is gone.

 

LOL I'm ready for Timmons to be mentioned. Sounds like Tamra isn't talking to Vicki -- she prob thinks she leaked the incident.

Last season on RHOC...shannon's vow renewal only had heather, meghan and Tamra there...and it was a fun event..with all of Shannons friends there.  No one fought and it proved an event can commence in housewife land without a fight.  Also, Vicky's birthday didnt have shannon nor heather there...and it was kinda fun (loved Brianna trying to figure out who merv Griffin was lol).  

 

And RHONY didnt have all the women together as much.

ETA: I had forgotten Marlo was introduced as a foe. She was supposedly dating Charles Grant.

RHONY:

 

I love Dorinda when she is drunk and bad. I don't know why Sonja keeps wanting to go toe to toe with Dorinda when she knows she cannot handle her. Sonja truly needs to let go of this tiff she was with Dorinda over the Berkshires. She invited you this year. Be happy. 

 

Dorinda also had me rolling over the fact that she left her luggage all the way in NYC heading to Vermont. Only Dorinda...

Ramona AND Bethenny got on my nerves this episode. Bethenny needs to let go of her anger with Ramona. You don't like her, OK. But stop saying you'll be cordial when you're nothing of the sort. Also, I didn't like how Bethenny (of all people) lessened Tinsley's traumatic experience and wrote her off. This is the same b-tch that has spent the past 2 seasons talking about her mess of a marriage to Jason. Why can't Tinsley share hers? With Ramona, she was a twat about the rooms. You didn't get the best room, get over it. Be happy that Bethenny (well production TBH) invited you. 

 

Sneak peek of next week's episode:

I cannot wait for Dorinda to go in on Luann. It's tiring. You're married. We all know it. Now shut up about it. The easy part is done. Let's see if you can make it over the true hurdle, Luann. And Bethenny is full of sh-t in the clip. She knows damn well that Luann has been talking about marrying Tom all damn season. Also, her defending Luann is ludicrous. You were just dissing Luann and her union an episode ago. Now you wanna defend her? Enough, Bethenny.

Ramona is truly through and through an awful human being.

 

I'm completely and utterly over Sonja. If this dumb bitch does not stop bringing up the god damn Berkshires. LIKe really bitch?

 

And Luann expecting the best room because she just got married? Not a good look. It was shades of the old obnoxious Lu and I didn't like it one bit.

Ironically...Luann is actually married...you know...a 'housewife.  So that could play a bit into it.

 

I'm hoping for next season for NY to have less group..and more one on one..or individual scenes.  Id rather see more scenes of Luann as a newlywed.

 

And I think the season 4 purge for MY was too much.  I would have fired Cindy and Kelly....but kept Jill and Alex...and added just Heather in season 5.   That way..the show could have taken time to introduce Heather...i would have loved to have seen how Jill and Alex would have interacted with Heather.  

 

RHOC season 12....i can't wait.  I shouldn't be excited but I am.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
