Anyone watch these shows? I absolutely love them. Ive watched NJ and Atlanta and now they are airing NY. Couldnt get into the Orange County. Too many blondes and fake boobs. Anyone else watching the current season of NY. Lots of drama. My favorites are Bethany and Kelly. I also like Jill although she bugs me. Alex does nothing for me and I cant stand Ramona and LuAnn

All I know is, Grande Dame Karen Huger better smash Most Memorable Wig !

Yes, team Karen for that wig moment! 

 

I couldn't support any New Yorkers except LuAnn. Too much Bethenny...  (and Dorinda was too ugly this year).  Funny that for "Best Friends," they have NYC's Ramona and NJ's Melissa together.

I knew it was only a matter of time. All his sexcapades with 22 year old's can't all be sweetness 'n light. 

 

Side note: I noticed while watching RHOC that one of the co-executive producers listed is Lynsey Dufour. My mouth dropped when I saw that name. Not only was she a former script writer at Y&R during the Lynn Marie Latham days, but.... I interned with her at Y&R in '04.  Oy.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do some day drinking and ponder my life's choices of the past fourteen years 

 

I recall reading an interview during her script writing days at Y & R.. and it wasn't a shock that she was canned the second Latham left the show.  She seemed kinda vapid and shallow... perfect for Bravo and Housewife land

 

If there truly is a #metoo story with Cohen, I hope no one will be surprised.  Just by looking in his eyes, you can tell there is something off about him..like he lacks empathy or something.

Ever since Munchausen Season (seasons 6), production and cast have been working to edge LVP out. They've brought on people of a different demographic (Erika, Dorit, Teddi). They've had Rinna age-shame her with 'It's time to get rid of the old' -- this fool forgets that she and Eileen are LVP's age group! Kyle has been trying to push LVP off the show for centuries. Ironically, their obsession with LVP actually keeps her on the show. 

 

LVP has outgrown this franchise. Like @DaytimeFan said, she is better off focusing on VPR, which pulls in the ratings and demos. She can be the tough, strategic boss lady and nobody is bothered by it. On RHOBH, wealthy, over-privileged women attack her for her cunning and strategy; they cultivate their victimhood as a weapon against her. It is deathly boring. And no offense, but 18 episodes of LVP adopting poodles is boring, too. I'd rather see her in her natural work habitat.

Well, they need to learn that when it comes to LVP...

 

 

They need to learn.

Yeah, the drop between RHONJ and Potomac is large. I was surprised that Million Dollar Listing surpassed M2M  (though that awful dirge Bethenny & Fredrik is not even listed!). I am also surprised that Southern Charm: New Orleans just tipped Dallas. RHOD deserves to be higher, so does Potomac. 

 

Amazingly, Shahs stays consistent. Pretty much everybody on there seems to be randomly vile to each other ! Then again, I can't get into VPR either so I'm clearly not Bravo's target viewer.

Pretty decent number for SC: New Orleans, surely that’s high enough to get a second season given the ratings of the shows it’s ahead of all have multiple seasons.

 

God with BH being top 3,  this season is destined to be the exact same dreck as last season.

If I remember correctly, Southern Charm: New Orleans premiered really well because it had a strong lead-in (RHOA?), but ratings tumbled throughout the season.  I think those averages are pretty skewed.  The second Savannah season just ended and those ratings were terrible, so not expecting to see a third season. 

 

I’m surprised Flipping Out isn’t up there, considering it gets renewed every year. 

 

 

 

 

Didnt expect OC to draw in more viewers than NY. As @DaytimeFan states, it feels more popular than it apparently is.

I thought Southern Charm NOLA's ratings stabilized at the end. I hope it does come back because it was like setting porn (and not just because of the guys) to me.

Shots fired!

 

Erotica Lame has revealed it was LVP who refused to do the cast photo shoot:

I hope LVP gathers all of them together.

So I guess Andy Cohen wasn't so OK with Carole calling him full of [!@#$%^&*], huh.

Carole is conspicuously absent from the Housewives Awards, including Best Style (a nomination I am sure she coveted).

There are rumors of Andy having his own #MeToo accusations soon.

No one is surprised. A vapid gay man called out on his actions? Of course he was going to not be okay with Carole.  

 

And that rumor cannot turn out to be true soon enough...kinda like what is going on with SC's Thomas actually.

OC DRAMA: Per Us Weekly, Gretchen and Slade have agreed to testify against Shannon and Tamra on behalf of Jim Bellino. 

 

He claims that they "have indicated that they have testimony to provide (Beador and Judge) have a pattern and practice of fabricating stories about various individuals" that appeared on RHOC. He also alleged that their testimony will prove that Judge and Beador "harbor ill-will, anger or hostility" toward him. 

 

Holy [!@#$%^&*]! Tamra must be having an aneurysm right about now. IIRC, Gretchen and Slade have never interacted with Shannon...how will they testify against her? 

Wow

Anything for relevancy, eh, Gretchen?

 

 

SO HARD to know who to root for! But I'm Team Shamra. I don't know if I could ever side with Wretched, Slave and Hair-Plugs Bellino.

 

Why do I get the feeling Gretchen is making calls to Bravo saying she will no longer testify if RHOC brings her back as a HW? Given the duds that are Lawn Guylind and Budget Jeana, Bravo might just hear her out.

Lol 😂 your names for the new girls are amazing. I really can’t get over how little I care for them.

There are moments when I get deluded into thinking we might be on the cusp of another Lynne (who seemed to symbolize the breakdown of 2008 America) with Lawn Guylind. But then she says everything is super-fine between her and her invisible ex, and I am left thinking 'What did I just watch?' Absolutely nothing!

 

Bargain-Basement Jeana is an even bigger disappointment. She looks like a core original HW. She has known Tamra for some years, and am I right in thinking she sided with Simon and possibly Gretchen at one point in their relationship? The show has led us to believe there is unmined history there. And yet instead, all we are getting is rehearsed scripted bullshit between her and her rodent hubby. Snore!

Does this mean that Gretchen is going against Alexis then?  Wouldn't anyone supporting Jim in this case be going against Alexis?  I thought Gretchen and Alexis were good friends, unless I'm misremembering...  

Nope, Gretchen rolled over on Alexis, to cozy up to TAMRA! of all people. 

 

 

Once she's destroy that friendship, Tamra ditched Gretchen.

There is speculation that Jim & Alexis's divorce (somewhere in heaven an angel weeps) is actually a front so that Jim can preserve his assets. He is being sued for some reason to do with these Skyzone trampoline parks, and doesn't want the court seizing his (alleged) ill-begotten gains. Anyway, he has transferred some of his property into Alexis's name and that has got tongues wagging.

So much Shakespearean comeuppance!  As soon as Alexis was iced out (one down, one to go!), Tamra knew Gretchen would hang herself if given enough rope. She understood that Gretchen always copies the other women in order to one-up them. Tamra wants a pink motorcycle? Oh, look what Jim gave me! Tamra got a wedding spin-off? Oh, hey, let me stage a fake proposal from Slade! Heather is on a TV show? OMG, I'm so glad they gave you the part that I turned down! 

 

Tamra basically caught Gretchen out on her lies and delusions, and took much delight in obliterating her at reunion. It was a takedown that was over two years in the making. And it was EPIC!

Yeah, I'm surprised Shannon is included as she and Alexis/Jim didn't appear on the show at the same time, but who knows :::shrug::: 

 

Oh Gretchen... well if nothing else, it'll give conflict for Tamra vs. Vicki, plus we'll get to see whatever incarnation Gretchen currently has going for a face.

Ask and yea shall receive!

 

I can't believe she's 39 and has gone all funhouse mirror on her face for the past 6+ years.  She was beautiful as she was. Sure, she had acne scarring on her skin, but she didn't need to shave half her jaw off.
