Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[Antoyne]

Vicki truly has blinders on. It's kind of sad.

[Cheap21]

Lynn was actually in 2 seasons. I miss her and wish she'd return. LMAO that you are like her bc she was crazy! Not Kelly Bensimon crazy but Lynn ws a bit out there. Her kind of cuckoo crazy was fun though and she wasnt bitchy and confrontational. She helped keep things entertaining

Brooks is a POS. Its sad that Vicki came down so hard on Slade and Gretchen for supporting a dead beat man like him and now she's in a similar siutation and she's defending him so hard

[Antoyne]

Finally caught up on NYC. Heather is not my favorite addition ever but the fact that Ramona does nothing to effect her is amazing. I like that she really could care less about Ramona and her outrage over not getting invited. Ramona is used to people who will either get in a screaming match with her, have a passive aggressive competition with her, or let her steam roll over them and Heaher does none of that and it's absolutely KILLING Ramona.

I'm far more entertained this season than I was last where I watched the episodes and felt disgusted by everyone's behavior.

I think NYC has potential. It started out kinda boring, but the new ladies are growing on me and the drama is starting to stir. I must admit though that I do get bored at times when they're focusing on one individual and their own life. I feel like this show is stronger and more interesting when there's more than one housewife onscreen, as opposed to other series (ATL, BH) where individuals are interesting enough by themselves.

Carole really is a treat to watch. She reminds me of early Bethenny.

[Eric83]

Nothing to say about NJ. These bitches are wearing me out.

[alwaysAMC]

I was JUST thinking that last night. She reminds me of Season 1 Bethenny. She's hilarious, going on awkward dates and laughing about them... she brings to the table what Bethenny did on S1.

Eric, I thought you'd have gotten a kick out of Jac's convo with her father with him calling her out. On Teresa and her tabloid talking "what do you care? She's trying to make money and she's probably the bread winner in the family now" Paraphrased but that was the gist of where he was going with things

WTF is she wearing?

Exactly..even she doestn know! She looks like she's channeling her inner Zaladane from X-men

Speaking of her, she's such a bitch...lol. She's like "I never told anyone that Jac and Chris were in bankruptcy a few years ago, bc I m a good friend. I never told anyone that Kathy hated Rosie bc she was gay." Bitch, you just did! I havent read it but I heard that Teresa wrote some long blog post and said that Chris cheated on Jacqueline. If she did in fact do so, then as Caroline said to Danielle 'you're garbage'. Even if they arent friends anymore, I think its low to attack her marriage like that. If Teresa knew something, then she shouldnt have come on a public platform to jeopardize Jac's family. Not cool at all

I see they hired a girl for Albie's gf storyline next week

Gah. I got Lynne. She was a bore. I was hoping for Jeana, maybe Lauri, heck I'd be happy with Tamra! And I am NOT lazy!

RHoNJ:

Low-key episode, but for the first time, I really got hit by the inappropriate vibes between Teresa and Joey Gorga. Up til now I had attributed the anger to jealousy over a younger, prettier housewife (Melissa) and wanting to be top cat on the show. But when Joey came to the therapist's office and was all "You look... sexy" and Teresa giggled like an infatuated schoolgirl and crossed her legs, all I could think was woah there, you two. This feud/obsession has left Crazy and Ridiculous and entered the realm of All Kind's of Wrong.

The therapist seems great, though.

RHoNY:

WTF? They still haven't left for London?! I enjoyed Holla driving Ramona to distraction, though. She really knows how to play her, to the point where Ramona threw her one ally, Aviva, under the bus!

Carole is once again pure awesomeness, whether it is handling Pinot Grigio, going on a date or getting her pilot greenlighted. I kind of want to see this show she is writing.

Luann is superfluous to requirements.

[JackPeyton]

I love RHoNY! The new ladies are fantastic. Carole is up there with OCHeather as best addition ever, IMHO.

I can not with LuAnn, who simply does not fit anymore and feels forced unlike Sonja or even Ramona.

[Soaplovers]

I agree with all that is said! I kind of wish they had traded Luann for Alex. Somehow I could see Alex getting along with the new additions especially Aviva for some reason. Oh well..

[Chris B]

Losing Alex is a huge blow that I can't get over. The show is clearly missing something and the idea to make it more like Beverly Hills was a bad idea. As it stands, that's not what we're seeing. It's five episodes in and we still haven't seen Carole or Heather's homes. Using that as a mandate to get rid of Alex was dumb. She has her businesses and is doing well and would fit so much better with Heather and Aviva whether as friends or enemies. LuAnn is doing NOTHING and I doubt she'll do anything interesting all season.

One thing I notice is that all the gossip column reports about this season (like last season) are true. First we heard the drama was low and Bravo wanted to bring Alex back recurring, possibly full time but she turned it down since it wasn't guaranteed full time. It's obvious they saw what everybody else see's. Then you have how they kept extending filming several times because they didn't have enough material. I'm sure we'll see that. I'm also sure we'll see when the original ladies refused to film during the last time they extended filming.

The new girls are interesting, but not the type to bring the drama that'll give them the ratings they had. They need a more dynamic MIX of ladies. Even having Jill mixed in would help. Their failure is who they decided to bring back, not who they hired. Honestly, keep Jill and Alex and dump Sonja and LuAnn and you have a show. Jill would've mixed better than LuAnn, plus you break up that power vortex of hate that was LuAnn/Jill.
