Shannon, I love you, but what happened?

 

Tamra, Kelly and Meghan look great!

 

Vicki is perfection: Queen of the OC.

 

NY's Kelly line was I'm living the American dream one mistake at a time.

I am pretty underwhelmed by the OC intro/taglines 

Please register in order to view this content

  I actually love Tamra's just because it's catchy, unique and fun to say.  

I don't understand Kelly's - someone help me.  If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you?  Wtf does that even mean?

 

Shannon's are usually catchy/fun, but not this one.  Boring.  Megan's is ok.  Peggy's is boring.  Lydia's is ok/to be expected, although would fit her mother more than Lydia.  Vicki's is ok.  Still has that whoo-hoo!  I love how her boyfriend is brought into the family in the background - it's an accepting moment which I think is touching.

I think by Kelly logic, she means that if you try and give your opinion that she's gonna give the business like she usually does. 

 

Again, they need someone new at Bravo to come up with their taglines. 

 

You can't tell me that same person that devises BH and NY's taglines are the same ones that come up with the same taglines for all the other cities. NY and BH are typically the cities with the best taglines season after season. I'm beginning to think that they need to just give full control to the housewives themselves, only intervening when the tagline is a total dud.

I've really enjoyed NYC this season, it's had lots of enjoyable moments (this week's dinner party conversation being a good example, I laughed out loud repeatedly) but hasn't had many signature moments aside from Dorinda's...I think this trip to Mexico will have a few great moments. But I'd take this kind of NYC season then a gross toxicity like NJ or a boring mess. 

 

So far as the OC taglines go, I so agree. LOL to your analysis of Shannon's tagline. She looks like hell - I'm surprised she let herself get filmed for her opening like that - she could have hacked off 20 pounds by simply putting on a pants suit - that babydoll dress just emphasizes her weight gain. Vicki's is great because it reasserts her dominance. Peggy's is so basic. I am concerned she'll be a dud.

Oh, for sure there is a place reserved for Tamra down there after she hid behind Crishuns and Pastures to rehabilitate her terrible image!

 I just meant I liked her delivery.

 

Why am I not surprised that Porsha and Nene were somehow involved in this melée?  Especially ThugThot. 

 

 

IA that there are enjoyable moments (Dorinda in the Bronx!! The AS chat in this week's episode) and the NY HWs crack me up. Absolutely it is a thousand times better than NJ which is unwatchable. I love these HWs, and Dorinda in particular is saving the season. However, I can only express how I feel. First of all, I cannot with Bethenny. She went so far last year with trying to destroy Luann. And all because Luann beat her to the punch with her engagement? This year, we are told that the 'old' Bethenny is back. Bethenny's a victim, you guys!! It is Dorinda's-house-in-the-Berkshires fault that she keeps tearing a strip off someone! It's Jason Hoppy's fault that she routinely belittles everybody! I can't buy what she is selling anymore.

 

Secondly, Ramona and Sonja. These two used to bring joy to any HW vacation, lol. This year, they are clearly going through some emotional transitions. Ramona is spiralling out of control, and Sonja seems to have finally crumbled under the weight of her own problems and (relatively harmless) delusions. Truthfully, I welcome the fact we are seeing these women at difficult turning points in their lives; the problem is their unwillingness to acknowledge them. I, for one, would find Sonja more compelling if she expressed needing to downsize while struggling to maintain her 'Lady Morgan' persona. After all, Sonja's personality is so big. Seeing her acting petty with Tinsley (talk about a dud of a SL!) makes her look... small.

 

LOL re: Shannon's tagline, at least she wasn't hooting "I'm fat!!! Are you KIDDING me??" I don't mind that she looks like hell -- most of us ladies know it is a struggle sometimes. We have our thin day clothes and our fat day clothes hanging in the closet. I appreciate that Shannon puts it out there; obviously the problem is Shannon blaming somebody else for this latest 'drama.' What's more hilarious is that Vicki doesn't care about Shannon's opinion of her. She cares about Tamra's and possibly Heather's. But whenever Shannon tried to come at her last year with "Let me tell. You. Something, VI KEY," Vicki's eyes were already glazing over.

 

And totes agree about the pantsuit. Even a tailored skirt and top (to highlight a waist) + some spanx would have left Shannon looking very presentable. Maybe she wanted a dress that emphasized her predicament, though. Hmmm.

 

I can't even remember what this Peggy looks like. A bit like Lilly Ghalichi?

The problem I'm finding with this season is that it's the same ole same ole.  Tinsley is ok, but doesn't have an interesting life to explore and doesn't bring a spark that the show needs.

 

I'm also noticing there is way too much group interaction and a lack of an indiVicsual narrative.  I miss the days when the women did their own thing and didn't need another housewife in the scene with them.

 

I think at least 2 or 3  should be cut..and hire 1 or 2 newbies...married with kids and lives outside the group that we can see and gasp in awe.

 

RHOC sounds like it will be less group...and I think that works better...it where our appetite for a showdown if we are made to wait for it.

It's too soon to confirm anything, but for the first group event in Vegas I believe, these are the girls we know went for BH:

 

LVP, Rinna, Dorit, Erika, Kyle, Adrienne, Camille and newbie one hit wonder Willa Ford (I Wanna Be Bad was her one hit). 

 

Many speculated Brandi was also back but it was Willa in the picture not Brandi. Looks like Eileen might be gone considering this was their first major group event and she wasn't there. I'd also expect ether Adrienne or Camille back full time if they're being included on a trip this early. We shall see!

La sigh...but this might be a good thing.

 

WILLA FORD  as in the singer with the hot CBS promos in the late 90s/early 00s. LOVE. 'did u understand about that?'

As for the OC taglines...

 

SHANNON. Karma.

 

TAMRA. Hate to admit it, but I love its tongue-in-cheek-ness.

 

MEGHAN. Speaking of tongue-in-cheek...fave. Just hope she is the voice of reason again this year.

 

KELLY. Hehe. Never change.

 

PEGGY. okay.

 

LYDIA. I liked it. I know little of her, but she seems quirky, but firm.

 

VIKI. You let them hos know what's up. Love the whooos.

I'll miss Eileen. I liked how sane she was and thought she brought class to the show. I also will miss her beauty. She may not have been the most fashion forward, but she is just gorgeous to look at. I do believe it was her choice and not her getting fired because Andy loves her and even has her on his Then and Now show. I fully expect her popping up and a potential return in the future.

    • 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.
