There are always popular HWs who leave and fans want back. Even ones who pop up for scenes and still don’t return full time. Kenya’s return will 100% be thanks to Nene. How was she so stupid as to make the focus of the reunion and final episode KENYA?! I live lol! This is just crazy. Nene is always her own worst enemy.

I'd rather Nene leave.. the show did fine without her annoying self for two season... Kenya vs Kim Fields everyone?  Wasn't Kandi vs Phaedra/Porsha during Nene's two season vacation from the show?   The show did much better without Nene on the show.. so I say give her the boot.

And as someone said on Twitter today...that's why Kenya is QUEEN.

That said...I saw the trailer...and...while I like that everyone is properly dragging Nene (and in the case of Porsha right now on Twitter gathering her together on her lies) I thought that was underwhelming except for 52 Cynt v Nene.

After seeing Ramona's date (aka the personification of everything wrong with white male privilege, aka an ugly bald guy with a little cash who can still find eight women who wanted to marry him, aka I would jump off of a roof before I listened to one of his stories ), I understand that Tinsley might want to work things out with Scott. 

 

However, I don't get Scott's angle? 

 

He sent flowers to Miami after their first date, she seems willing to live in Chicago, and he seems available to holiday for weeks at a time.  So, what's their problem and why hasn't he made a commitment?  Sending a Bentley SUV from Chicago to NYC has got to be close to the price of a ring, so it can't be money.  What is keeping these two from cohabitating?

Totally agree. Even the fight in the finale between Cynthia and Nene apparently has lines not shown that I saw on one blogger's post that isn't been shown at all from what I've seen in promos.

 

So I expect a lot of juicy moments we viewers haven't seen yet/

Not that that's limited to just Ramona.

I actually felt sorry for Ramona. This is the dating pool in Manhattan for that age bracket: Tom D'Agostino, Harry Dubin and this pretentious blowhard. He almost got married 8 times?? I hope those women are respecting themselves more these days. 

 

I suspect Scott has a great life with girlfriends in Chicago and Tinsley in NYC who can promote Coupon Cabin every once in a while. I dont think he wants to marry her though. Why lose that lifestyle? I also dont think she wants to move her life to Chicago. 

 

Solid episode. Sonja still makes my day. And I liked Dorinda a lot more, until she threw Barbara out of her apartment (Barbara is right, it needs a repaint and a revamp). Dorinda really wants to get her closeness back with Luann but doesn't want to admit to the heckling and some kind of weird resentment Dorinda seems to have. What's also sad is that Luann seems to have moved on. I was really rooting for their friendship but each side is not willing to compromise.

Another solid NYC episode. I'm guessing at some point Barbara falls off the radar? Otherwise, I don't understand why she isn't an official 7th castmember. Again, love how they cast people with actual history with one another. I'm still waiting for the day Jill returns simply because all her real-life friends (Dorinda, Barbara, etc.) have since joined. 

 

Sonja's perspective this season is so refreshing. She isn't harping about something silly (not being invited to the Berkshires) or picking sides blindly (she was a lil too far up Bethenny's ass last season). She's playing it Switzerland neutral and just provides light, airy fun commentary and innocent humor without getting too messy (i.e. showing her dildos in the dishwasher, lol).  And how good is it for her emotionally to recognize that her townhouse causes her unwanted stress and she just wants to get rid of it now. Kudos! 

 

Ramona's reactions to her date were hilarious. I loved how they interspersed her talking head comments where she's checking off all the worst qualities she wouldn't want in a man, and the dude is clicking all those boxes. Her facial expression towards him said it all. 

 

I wish Dorinda would take ownership of her remarks against LuAnn. Both are stubborn at reaching across the aisle, but in all honesty,  I don't think LuAnn is at fault for anything in this matter. It's a shame their long-standing real-life friendship has taken a beating over this, but it seems LuAnn is honestly hurt and wants to keep her distance, cameras or no cameras. 

 

Next week's preview had us ROLLING with laughter... Halloween at the Berkshires and Ramona sees a scary dark-haired goblin crouched over:   "It looks like Bethenny crying."  LOLOLOL

Ugh I meant to mention it earlier this week but Happy 9 year Anniversary to this amazing thread started by @Cheap21 on March 24, 2010!! I love discussing the shows with you guys and honestly spend more time in this thread than the soaps nowadays. You guys are all awesome! Thanks again to @Cheap21 for getting it all started. This thread is what made me even give the Housewives a shot.

If Dorinda would take an ounce of accountability for the Heckling, this whole thing would be put to bed. She's in absolute denial and it's annoying to watch.

I third that! Happy 9th! I'm so glad that @Cheap21 started this thread! The Housewives are basically my soaps now that my connection to Daytime is loosening. I personally love this thread and everyone who contributes and has contributed to it. 

 

 

Agreed on everything. I think Luann is close to getting haughty about the wrong Dorinda done her, but she is definitely in the right after the petty way Dorinda treated her at her own show. And all because of.... Jovani?? I think Dorinda is upset that Lu got into cabareting and doesn't need her as much anymore. I think they were each other's support system to an extent. 

 

I love Barbara and hope she stays in Luann-Season-7-FOH capacity, appearing in almost every episode. I think she's a keeper thus far.

 

Sonja has blossomed so far without the weight of Grey Gardens on her shoulders!

 

Lol I desperately want a gif of that goblin close-up and Ramona's words "it looks like Bethenny CROYING."

I fourth that!  @Cheap21 Love dishing with all you guys and this is always the first thread I check out.  Once I got into the Housewives (first episode I ever saw was Nene's "You have done me WRONG as your wife!"), I was so glad to find a thread dedicated to them here. I had otherwise gotten pretty quiet in soapland.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
