Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

[DaytimeFan]

ATL

 

I caught up on 2 weeks of ATL last night. This franchise is back.

 

Turns out it needed fake ass Kenya to have real ass life problems to roar back to relevancy. If I were Nene I'd be very, very concerned. She has hardly been in the show and I haven't missed her at all. She's brought nothing to the episodes she's been in so far. 

 

I enjoy watching Cynthia because she isn't a psychopath. She's a nice lady who laughs easily and is stunningly beautiful. I like seeing someone like her getting her life together. 

 

I've really enjoyed Marlo. Like, I've never enjoyed her like this. Showing her family is compelling and makes me look at her with a more rounded view. 

 

Kandi's surrogate storyline is interesting because she is actually doing it...unlike Melissa Gorga on NJ who hasn't had a real storyline in years. 

 

Porscha is the star of this season though. My heart goes out to her because she's in real pain and she's doing her best to make a life for herself and baby PJ. 

 

ATL feels way more real than it has in years and the false notes (Eva, Nene) stick out because they don't have anything real, be it good or bad, going on.

 

DALLAS

 

@Taoboi you're a better man than me - that employment situation sounds infuriating and horrible. 

 

I felt for Leanne and I see why she exploded. I also don't think she's a racist. I just don't. I think Kary got under her skin and aggressively antagonized her. It will be interesting to see how this week's episode goes.

 

OC

 

I like Kelly sometimes and I don't like that Shannon was so stupid to get snowed by Tamra. Again. Tamra is the worst element of this show and it will never move forward so long as she's around.

After many many years of trying, Erica has probably hit her peak of cultural relevance - inspiring a line in my imaginary husband (well one of them, anyway) John Mulaney's upcoming Netflix special.

Yep, if I were Nene, I would be worried right about know. She is costing Bravo over $1 million per episode, and refuses to film with all but a 1 or 2 people who won't contradict her. Contrast that with Cynthia's BBQ and a roomful of 12 women -- HWs and FOHs -- who were shading each other while also laughing and commiserating together. Probably the best bit was everybody owning up to some of their truest insecurities -- something I could never see the current incarnation of Nene doing on camera.

In our current economic landscape, one 'asset' I have noticed among a few unscrupulous multi-millionaires is not so much their ability to sniff out a good deal (clearly not in Mo's case --that property was built on a precipice!), but rather their ability to 'mitigate costs.' And by that I mean work the system so that somebody else covers the loss. That is where 'filing for bankruptcy' comes in. He could pay $5mn for this, but doesn't want to.

 

Spare a thought for poor Gigi and Bella this Christmas, tho!

I agree with everything you said. I’ve never liked Kenya but she’s absolutely breathed new life into the franchise by coming back.

 

Nene really could’ve sat this season out. She is not missed and adds nothing at all.

 

I still don’t get the point of Eva who just screams phony to me.

[Cheap21]

Porsha is gonna DRAG Eva at the reunion. She just came to Kenya's defense

@DaytimeFan IA with you on  most of RHOA. Nene and Eva's stories feel so nonexistent and inauthentic. What is it exactly? Thats right, causing unnecessary drama with the ladies but they arent actually showing us anything of their lives. Eva would be more relatable if she let herself be vulnerable and be honest about her money issues but she keeps fronting and running away whenever its presented

 

I will disagree on Marlo. She is nothing but a miserable nasty woman that I dont like. She could go and I wouldnt miss her as she like Nene, is a dark cloud of misery

The OC:  What a [!@#$%^&*] storm this Key West trip is. I gotta say, other than Vicki's wipeout at the end requiring her usual medical attention, I'd rather hang with the tres amigas than the suckfest of Kelly/Braunwyn/Emily.  Even Gina is more tolerable with the "old ladies."  I *loved* Bravo's cheeky editing showcasing the old women whooping it up having fun while the younger women were tired, staying in their rooms looking pooped. 

 

Ugh at Kelly's continued outbursts and inability to control herself. Total gutter trash. It's no wonder she's good friends with Brandi. 

 

Side note: We were in Key West three years ago and went to that gay bar. LOL. It was such a fun hot mess, but the drag queens were pretty terrible. LOL. One of them shown last night on OC is one I saw in person. She resembles Drag Race's Thorgy Thor but ten times worse. But gosh it was fun. I hope to see more of Duval Street next week.

So weird that Vicki is not an official HW when she’s still so dominant on the show.

[DaytimeFan]

Last night’s OC proved that Vicki needs to be brought back full time. What would that episode have been without her? She is dominating the show. 

[Cat]

Plus Bravo juxtaposed it with this classic.

I don’t know why Bravo was kidding themselves thinking they could do OC and have it be entertaining without Vicki’s antics. They should’ve just given her her Orange this season after they edited most of the damn show to be about her.

 

No one is watching the show to see what Emily and Gina are up to. And Braunwyn is was too thirsty. 
 

Tamara got out completely unscathed by the takedown attempt. She’s a damn pro.

I'M NOT A CAHN WOMAN! I WAS CAHNNED! Seriously Vicki is the gift that keeps on giving this trip.

 

And Kelly keeps saying "You know what happens to liars? They get sued!" What about people who threaten violence?

[Cheap21]

IA with everything said about Vickie and Im convinced Bravo will give her back her orange. She said she will not do this show part time again so I think it will be all or nothing with her. It must be a money thing bc she is just as present. She gets her talking heads, her family has appeared, we've seen her love life, she goes on the trips and events and is right in the middle of the drama. How is she just a friend?

[alwaysAMC]

Did you all see that Denise Richards and her family bought a home in Montana and plan to spend half their time there, while staying in their California home the other half?  Wonder if this is a sign that she's off the show after this season?

[Soaplovers]

I'd take vicki over Gina or Kellyyy.  Kelly shouldn't be allowed on the show nor have access to her kid.
