I like Lu's the best. And ITA about Michael Rappaport. He's always trying to make himself 'be seen' with this RH obsession. The monkey pic alongside Kenya's was especially egregious. How can anybody think that kind of 'joking' is ok?

 

I sort of wish Tinsley wasn't part of this cast. I find her a weak link. Don't hate me lol.

 

 

This is what I've been saying!!!! How is Robyn buying her kids all those team items (that sh*t gets expensive) AND looking for a bigger place? Juan is only coaching at a state college. That's middle income AT BEST, not the big leagues. He could be fired at any time, and he could hook up with a rich lady and leave her ass for real at any time. She needs to sit on that rental in Hanover, pay off some debts, bank that Bravo cheque, put away some savings (even though she's probably banking on her kids getting full sports scholarships for college) and keep her head down money-wise. And she DEFINITELY shouldn't look down at the Hugers' IRS troubles because we know the IRS gets its best info from the RH. I'll bet they are sniffing around her and Juan's finances.

 

Early RHOA is so good. I watched Seasons 1-3 not so long ago. S1 ATL is the best first season of any franchise. I LMAO at delulu Kim thinking she was a country singer and the recording engineer at the studio literally wincing when she started to sing and turning down the volume! Nene's story about her mom and finding her biological father was very affecting too. Kandi was a great addition. I did like Lisa Wu a lot, but I also thought Phaedra (her replacement) was better. She was shady (verbally and financially) from the start. I would have liked to see Lisa come back, though. She eventually divorced Ed which I was always sad about because they seemed genuinely into each other and had a strong bond.

 

For some reason, I actually believed they had crossed paths before, lol. Just the way she was teasing Rinna about being thin. I'm so gullible! But then again I loved Kathryn and think Bravo was too hasty to fire her. She had chemistry with a lot of the cast.

How did she respond?

 

ETA: Found it!

I love that she answered for herself!

 She's the best! I think the "2" she is referring to are Faye and Erika.

 

She also said she would never return: http://twitter.com/_KathrynEdwards/status/976302914682568704

 

And it was Erika and Eileen apparently. Wow. She spoke the truth about Erika with this one:

Cuz she was given a pass by EVERYONE on her language, lack of underwear (yes, even back then) & lack of respect 2 all, including crew. She spends a ton of $, that goes far. She sure cleaned up her mouth after her first season. Has she called anyone an F’in C___ again?Not my fav

Loved that article, and it's so very true. NYC has genuine friendships, even now 10 years into the game. 

 

New taglines: *love* LuAnn and Ramona's! Sonja and Bethenny are good too. Dorinda's are always pretty tame.  In regards to Ramona, yes, she gets work done. But at the end of the day, she's like 61 years old and still has the energy of a 21 year old.

@Cat NYC: You're not alone about Tinsley. She's better than Kristen Taekman and has actual ties to at least one Housewife, which couldn't be said of Jules. But she's otherwise not someone I'm clamoring to see when NYC returns tonight. 

 

POTOMAC: Hubby & I were saying the same thing about Robyn (finally got to see Potomac last night... we were both laughing at how we were actually excited to see this one). We scratched our heads as she said they moved into a bigger house after Juan JUST secured a decent new job PLUS all their financial difficulties in the past. Okay Robyn. You keep doing you. 

 

I liked seeing Ashley's genuine struggles with marriage and the husband/mother drama. Surely, she needs to wean her mother off the financial help, sooner rather than later. I'm still not sure about her marriage. I think she's happier alone and is only coming back home because the lease is up on the other place. 

 

I liked seeing Gizelle/Ashley hanging out. It's funny, the "younger" girls on this franchise are slowly taking over as the older ones (Bye Charriissee!) fade away. I actually like Monique and love her new house. Sad that her hubby and his mom haven't spoken since the show aired, with the mother-in-law shading the hell out of Monique. 

 

Karen... the talk of this thread currently, LOL. What else can I say, except that I echo the sentiments wondering if the house is only used for filming purposes, a la Chateau SheBroke. 

 

ATL: I *loved* Lisa Wu. I would've liked to see her return down the line, even though her fine-ass ex-hubby, Ed Hartwell, wouldn't be joining her. Didn't Lisa have some shady business dealings that didn't come to light until after she left the show?

YES!!! That last one is the one I saw and the conversation that followed under the comments.

 

 

EXACTLY!!! I think it's also part of the reason RHOA has soured this season. Baring some genuine moments IMHO in Barcelona between them, the girls don't really seem like friends anymore versus a few years back where you could pretty cite Nene/Cynthia and Shady Phae Phae/Kandi as friends outside of the show no matter what we saw on screen. Also see: Team Pretty.

 

Dorinda is LOVE. And I cannot wait to see the Dorinda/LuAnn friendship in full effect again.

Blah. Kyle continues to whine and is an insufferable drama queen. Dorit sucks too, but I dislike Kyle more. Erica looked like Eva Braun at that dinner. LVP's shoes looked so uncomfortable. I liked the private shopping scene. Loved Rinna's sequin suit. And that's it. This season is a dud.

 

NYC

 

Strong start right out of the gate. This franchise has surely been hotly anticipated. 

 

Carole's blond hair has really amped up her bitch attitude. Her hair doesn't suit her at all. The chain smoking and marathon running is another ridiculous contradiction of hers.  

 

Ramona rocked that Britney Spears costume. She remains a foghorn that Bethenny can't silence and for that I will always enjoy her.

 

Dorinda was a drunk mess. That costume was hilarious though. And it was nice to see her conversation with Luann (more on her below).

 

Sonja seemed more sober and centred like in her earliest seasons. Interesting to hear her admit to taking an anti-depressant, putting on weight (common) and then getting off of them. And good to see her with Rocco - a way better choice than fake ass Frenchie.

 

Obviously, the premiere belongs to Luann. I loved her Diana Ross outfit (go to hell, Carole)...I really hope she pulls through with all this stuff.

Haven't watched the premiere yet. Finale of THE MAGICIANS for me, but watching WWHL since LuAnn is on...and I see in her eyes she is still hurting, but is putting on a brave face regardless of Andy trying to be Andy.

 

They are showing clips and yes...LOVE LUANN WITH THE AFRO saying your favorite catchphrase with her. I LOL!!!

LuAnn’s costume was a disgrace, to Diana Ross and to black people. Carole was 100% correct about it. I’m glad to see her get roasted for that on Twitter and I’m glad Andy brought it up. Do I think she meant to be offensive? No, but it was and I’d hope she can learn from this in the future. She picked a typical blackspotation look, darkened her skin and slapped Diana Ross’ name on it. Not impressed. 

 

Beyond that, I loved the premiere. NYC always delivers. I enjoyed everybody even Tinsley and it made me want to keep watching. This is much needed after a mediocre Beverly Hills and very Uneven RHOA. 

 

I find all the women equally likable although they each have their low points. I think that’s what makes it easier for me to watch because they don’t take themselves too seriously. You can just watch and be entertained. Dorinda was once again a delight at the party, Ramona was a lot less ramotional and more subdued which I liked. I’m mostly curious about Carole and Bethenny’s issues. I can’t really guess what it stems from and I don’t mind either of them. That’ll be interesting to watch unfold.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
