If what Dorinda is saying is true, then I can appreciate her position...HOWEVER...it doesn't change the fact that she doesn't handle alcohol well. Her reaction to Luann's blog, which I found to be quite benign, was nasty and shows she doesn't take responsibility for herself. Luann might have been wise to stay silent but she has also stopped drinking and has acknowledged her problems publicly so Dorinda's nasty response says a lot more about her state of mind than it does Luann.

Yeah even if what she said is true, she’s been a crazy drunk every season she’s been on the show so she can’t really blame Bethenny for that. She clearly doesn’t know her limit. And Luann’s comments weren’t even worth all that attitude. She doesn’t take criticism well at all.

Potomac: 

 

This show continues to knock it out the park. 

 

The main thread in this season is pain. All of these women are in pain and are acting out in different ways. 

 

While Monique was definitely drunk when she went off the road, Ashley is messy for sensationalizing it and using it for her own benefit. But that's typical Ashley for you. She has no allegiance to anyone. 

 

It was refreshing to see Robyn form her own brain for a second and state she likes Candaice. However, we'l see how long that lasts. 

 

Karen continues to be the star of the show. All roads lead to the Grand Dame. Charisse is a messy broad for bringing up Blue Eyes, and Ashley/Gizelle are messy for spreading a lie that Karen was making out with that man (Monique debunked the rumor on Twitter tonight as she was there the night the so-called incident occurred). 

 

Candaice continues to be a star too. At first, I was skeptical, but she's panning out to be a great find. 

 

Next week is gonna be mind-blowing as the lines for the remainder of the season are about to be drawn. I'm eager to see Robyn/Ashley v. Monique. I hope Monique takes their a**es to task. 

 

Dallas:

 

Some rumors about what this upcoming season of Dallas are being spilled and I think they are gonna have a stellar season 3 too...

You are spot on about Potomac!  I can't agree more with everything you said.  I am HERE for it.  Karen is the star for me - she's like Leanne (Dallas) for me - totally crazy yet I want to be her best friend.  

 

That Dallas tea puts a smile on my face - I can't wait for their return.  They had such a stellar Season 2 and I was hoping it wouldn't be like Miami where Season 3 bombs and they get cancelled.

Potomac:

 

Just when I thought all the young girls were going to be a fun unit. Monique lied about her Candiace motives,  then Ashley turned on Monique and then tried to pretend she didn’t say the girl had 4 drinks. No loyalty. None.

 

Charisse continues to be a messy bitch. I do not like that woman. 

 

Karen drunk may be the highlight of the season.

 

Gizelle continues to prove she’s unloyal trash.

YAAAASSSS next week is the Robyn/Monique umbrella fight!!!!

 

And I continue to be DEAD at Karen bringing up Ashley's husband whenever they get into a fight. And this time...editing brought receipts.

I'm not a big fan of keeping the same cast for more then one season... so I'm glad they're adding D'andria's friend to film with them.. to add something different to the mix.  Even though Brandi caused a lot of trouble in season 2.. I don't like it when it's one person vs five or six people even if that particular person caused trouble.. because it will illicit a little sympathy from viewers that don't like the whole 'gang up on someone' routine that catty women do.  

 

I'm more interested to see what is going on with the OG of the housewives OC.. a lot of life changes going on for three of the four returning housewives.. and I much prefer that then manufactured group gatherings and contrived fights.

I don't think a lot of people like gangups in general. However when it is someone who is so deserving of one (Wig comes to mind this past season of RHOA), they will get behind it real quick. Part of the reason I don't mind it at all for Brandi if it is going to happen. 

 

And while no one wants a cast to get too stagant, you don't want a case of changing the cast every season. That I don't like and sometimes you lose people who were likable after a season when they could have been great if there had been another season with that housewives. A few housewives from BH come to mind.

I'm more of an OC person myself (my first show I picked up).. and that show is the only show I know of that has successfully been able to rotate in and out cast members.  It will be interesting to see season 13 when it debuts later this year.. but it has to be loads better then season 12 (I think they kept 4 and added 2).

 

And that's why I'm glad Dallas didn't take any away.. just added a 7th person in a part time role to add something new/different without taking away from what worked last season.

Everyone says that here re: OC cast rotation. I started watching when Lizzie came on with some episodes here and there (I was so glad to see the episode Cheap had gifs from involving Heather going off on the girl for eating a piece of the cake) so I would agree with you. OC knows how to rotate in and out and have it down to a science I feel. I am curious to see how this coming season will be since I want to see if the truce between Vicki, Tamra, and Shanloon holds up. And I know a bit of what's going on in real life so I want to see how it unfolds. 

 

I like the idea for Dallas because while the season ended with the cast divided, I didn't want to see anyone go...especially LeeAnn who I feel redeemed herself this past season. And I love Ashley Abbott (c) @DaytimeFan and @Cat who seems to be the only person who can ground LeeAnn from being too over the top.  But agree one new person in the mix can bring a fresh perspective for sure.

Another winner of an episode. 

 

Karen is the undisputed star of this damn show and anyone whose going to try to argue otherwise is destined to fail. Karen was hilarious drunk, hilarious when she gathered Robyn up and shredded her, and hilarious when she was screaming trying to balance 4 ft off the ground. And Karen was so remarkably transparent to admit to having a DUI and laying it out for Monique (it fell on deaf ears).

 

Charisse is a tacky pig. 

 

Gizelle has that mean streak to her that makes her so ugly to tolerate. Her refusal, in her VT, to apologize to Ray is really foul. She wouldn't dare say that directly to Karen. She knows that would not end well for her.

 

Ashley has loyalty to no one and her habit of embellishing (or as RH of Melbourne's Janet say, 'gilding the lily') really demonstrates that she's there to stir things up and dodge all fallout.

 

Robyn remains an idiot who can't last 3 minutes with Hurricane Karen. 

 

Monique and Candiace didn't have a whole lot to do this episode other than calm themselves instead of killing Charisse and Gizelle.

 

Dallas - love what I'm hearing about this coming season. Sounds juicy.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
