At this point, they should just get rid of Kim. IMO, she should've gotten the boot when SheHe aka SheMan aka SheLies aka SheBroke was given the boot. I can see this as another season of Kim setting back, smoking her cigarettes and being the "puppet master/commentator" as dumb Kandi and Phaedra do her bidding like last season. But I did read a few months ago that Kim & Nene did film scenes together (with the other ladies) and actually got along. But I am ready for ATL, MIAMI, and BH b/c NYC and NJ are starting to bore me.

NJ is like beating a dead horse and I think that there are about 8 episode left before the reunion. At this point, just end it. Everyone hates Teresa, and she despises them all. Wrap it up. This is the main reason why I feel that the Housewives seasons should be no more than 15 episodes. Stuff seriously gets dragged on too long. This cast IMO needs a serious shakeup. H*ll, boot all of them and start from scratch. NJ is just not as enjoyable as it was when Danielle was on the show.

Same feeling I have with NYC. While it's starting to get better, I still feel that they should've kept Alex & Jill and had a strong cast of 8 housewives. Jill irked my nerves but she knew how to stir the pot, and Alex was finally coming into her own, and her v. LuAnn was hilarious. I use to love Ramona but she is getting my nerves this season. I am seriously thinking that the cast shakeup has her feeling threatened as she's up against THREE successful women with just as much mouth as she does. And I didn't think I'd care for Heather, but she is growing me. Even though I don't care for Countless and her "man," I did find what Ramona and her husband to say to be very ugly. Oh and Aviva is getting on my last nerve with 1) Bringing her foul, nasty, perverted old daddy on camera. He's not funny. 2) Feeling she can't go anywhere w/o Reid, her husband. Aviva, get it together ASAP!

Teresa is the sole reason i have quit NJ. I can not with her. Give me a manzo spin off please!

I am loving NYC! I can not wait for the rest of the season.

edited to expand now that I have the time..

So, NJ returned this week and I had zero desire to watch it. That series is just atrocious. I enjoy 3/5ths of the wives and still can not seem to care. This hyper-reality feeling season with the tabloids and ignoring bigger issues is just not working and nothing can be done to make it work. i loved the family dynamic but it simply no longer works. Teresa is just... shes so hard to watch. Im not sure if she is living a lie or believes her lies are real or if shes a idiot or what. But she contradicts herself all the time, she plays an innocent victim, and she wants to act like everything is ok and be pressed when people mention her husband going to jail, yeah is aid jail not away deal with it, or question her on what she sells to the tabloids. I cant. Shes an awful person and her husband is damn disgusting and comes off abusive. this isnt entertaining, its sad and pathetic. and it consumes the show because how the hell is anyone on this show supposed to film with her and not talk about it, really? its sad seeing that she has lost a real friend in jaqui because she has no awareness of reality and how her behavior does impact her friends, family, and costars.

Jaqui is a disaster. Caroline clearly doesnt want to be here. Melissa wants to be here too much. Teresa is... who is she? and Kathy is a bore. Give them all the boot. End New Jersey.

Of course, the editing and dragging out of episodes is really what hurts this series. This entire season should have been about 3 episodes so far. So much damn filler and wasted time. Move it along, people.

Onto NY now, Heather did cross a line when she called Ramona crazy to her husband, but she wasnt telling any lies. Ramona is awful and Heather has her number, she calls her on all her little tricks like shouting louder, repeating herself, her attacking people then leaving. This is what she does to prove that she is right because she damn well cant stand there and argue with anybody and win.

Carole hosting a lunch party = me hosting a lunch party. LOL! I loved it.

This was the most likeable Luann has ever been, this episode.

Well, I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm pretty happy that Alexis has been asked back to OC S8:

I think we have another season worth of Alexis vs. Heather :D

Also --- I see Bravo is airing a "Manzo-athon" this weekend --- not sure if they are splicing episodes together or what, but they sure do love them some Manzos apparently!

Ugh. Why is Alexis being asked back?! I think after this upcoming season of RHOOC, Bravo needs to retool this show (too) giving all the ladies on there the boot -- including the OG from the OC, Vicki. I know she is "polarizing" but Vicki just needs to go. The show at this point is doing her no justice. Leave on a high note -- well probably low note for her unless she fixes her relationships with the other ladies and daughter. I'd probably keep Heather (seeing as she's still new and cost less than the other) but the rest need to exit stage left.

Out of all the HWs shows, ATL & BH are the only ones I don't feel need a major shakeup, and I'll have the see with the remainder of NYC (still feel they should bring back Jill & Alex with this current cast) and the upcoming Miami.

Caught up with the week... I'm loving NYC more than NJ. NJ is way too repetitive sometimes, and Lauren is really immature. Next week's finally looks good though.

NYC --- Am I the only one that thinks Heather is totally sane and 100% justified? Everything she does and says I agree with. While it may be humorous to watch Sonja be that way, Heather is totally right and Ramona has ZERO business being involved. I still love Ramona though - her reaction next week to Aviva being upset had me rolling! Speaking of, Aviva is totally the new Alex McCord. Can't do anything without her husband, a little quiet, a little nosy, a little timid when she tries to speak her mind... this last episode she totally reminded me of Alex!

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
