Completely agree - Rinna’s work ethic is one of her best qualities. When Kim Richards belittled that work (and Eileen’s soap work) I could see what a dumb bitch she really is. 

 

But Rinna has done nothing this season and LVP called her on it, on camera. And so she lashes out and it just looks petty and obsessive at this point. She’s losing her sense of humour about herself.

NYC:

An 'early filler' episode before the Hamptons fireworks next week. However, one thing that surprised me was how I... sorta...almost... liked Carole this episode when she was running the marathon. And whenever Carole talks about Anthony Radziwill, I always get a little choked up.

About time Carole contributed something of substance.

 

Speaking of which, why was Tinsley invited back?  She seems sweet, but seems very vacant (light on upstairs, but no one is home).  I think dropping her wouldn't have hurt the show going into the season (heck even introduce one or two friend ofs as well).

BH

 

Perhaps BH will be like how RHOA is right now...sucky season, but deliver come reunion time.

 

Speaking of which...

 

ATL

 

I am trying to figure out what Kenya is going to say that left everyone shook. Because if she was confirming the pregancy in part 1 already...what else could she drop on everyone.  Dare I say it...

 

...what if she is already preggers and got that way during that period where she was not in the episodes...like that was four episodes (a few months).

 

That would leave people shook if she is sitting there as we watch and then she just drops it like maybe she is already four months or something.

I'm not sure why Tinsley got asked back, but it likely had to do with her lovely, wealthy unicorn of a boyfriend -- though that SL has clearly now fizzled and he is ghosting her. Could be her mother (who I could watch all day) but we haven't seen her either. Tinsley seems to be Carole's parrot at the moment, blankly repeating her opinions as her own. Personally I feel Kristen Taekman should never have left. She could give as good as she got when it came to Ramona and even Heather. And her Ashley-Madison-browsing husband was so awful and unsympathetic, he was like the Jim Bellino of RHONY (without the 'we're Chrisshun' fakery).

Ok, so this is a very interesting article, as expected from Variety. I'm not talking about the renewals of existing shows; I think we can guess which shows are coming back, and basically all the RH shows are returning, along with VPR, Southern Charm, M2M, etc. Incredibly, Don't Be Tardy has been renewed for, like, it's 17th season! That's as many seasons as Kim has children!

 

What is interesting is the new series. Two in particular jumped out at me. One was Mexican Dynasties, a reality show in Mexico City following some super-wealthy families. Since the richest man in the world (Carlos Slim) hails from Mexico City, there is definitely megawealth in MC. 

 

The other is (I am pretty sure) a new RH show -- Real Housewives of San Antonio. It's another Texan RH but the focus is on Latina HWs. I know some of you have mentioned in the past wishing Dallas was more diverse in reflecting Texas's Latino roots. Well, it looks like this is Bravo's attempt at rectifying that.

 

Bravo's descriptor:

Mexican Dynasties (working title)
Mexico City is the modern cultural mecca of Latin America, and is home to some of the planet’s richest elite. This series will put a spotlight on the notoriously private, high society world in Mexico City by focusing on three family dynasties that made their fortunes in the entertainment, beverage, and luxury car company industries. This docuseries will explore these successful multigenerational families through both comedy and heart in ways that only close-knit relatives can, particularly those that have known one another for decades. They will challenge stereotypes and showcase the revealing, luxurious and over the top lifestyles in this cosmopolitan destination.

 

Untitled San Antonio project (working title)
This docuseries follows a tight knit group of women and their families living in San Antonio, Texas, who are affluent, sophisticated U.S. citizens or recently naturalized citizens of Mexican decent. In their upscale and beautiful gated communities, these women will face a new set of challenges in adapting to US culture while working to keep their roots alive and well.

 

Hope both projects get screened this year!

That WWHL was a total shi* show and I loved every moment. It's the one time I wish WWHL was an hour so he could actually ask a few questions for each Housewife, past and present. 

 

Here's my take on Rinna vs. Vanderpump... I think they both actually like riffing on one another.  Rinna's can sometimes come off as mean-spirited, and granted I have not checked out any her social media stuff where she bashes LVP, but I think they actually like the banter, especially LVP.  I think they actually really had a fun time during Rinna's first season and the start of her second (remember when they took that trip together to check out that busted up pony?). I just love the delicious side eye Vanderpump gives Rinna when she's in the room. 

 

If Rinna *is* truly mean-spirited towards LVP and still has a geniune ax to grind (or just bubbling jealousy), it certainly doesn't phase LVP in the least at this point.

Lol it's a case of Guess the Bravolebrity. (Mary Joe = Luann, Sauna = Kyle, Aviva = Nene). Aidy Bryant can do no wrong imo. And I do think the RH intros are inspired ridiculousness. 

 

Bye, trick! You brought it on yourself!

    • 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.
