For me, everything wrong with RHONY happened in series 7 and that includes Dorinda. In her first season, Dorinda started the whole attack another HW for airtime when she went after Heather for no reason. IT also set a precedent because the show became Bethenny's POV even though she didn't share much of her life. Bethenny's skinny girl pen got more airtime than Heather and Kristin (Kristin who went from sitting next to Andy at the reunion to being a nonentity the next season). After finding seasons five and six a lot of fun, season 7 was torture for me and I didn't watch season 8 except for a few clips. I don't even think I watched the reunion episodes. If I did, I have no memory of them.

Which is why I liked it in binging. 8 ladies mean a lot of personalities to bounce off of each other. I liked that dynamic.

 

But I agree with you about Season 3. From what little I've seen of it, it is engrossing. I can't wait for Bravo to do another marathon and I see all of it. Hopefully I am home when they do.

I have a theory that the key to decoding any Housewives scene is watching who gets to be the talking head commenting on the action. 

 

Thus, it was surprising to me that Denise, (who has been an obvious pain in the tush for production) got such a favorable edit in Rome.  Sutton and Dorit were chosen as the narrators and they provided the audience with reasonable doubt when it comes to Brandi's allegations.  One could imagine that the fan response would have been very different if Kyle or Teddi's interviews were interspersed in that scene.  Certainly every housewife is interviewed about each scene, however, by only using the Sutton and Dorit footage, it was easier to either sympathize with Denise or vilify Teddi.  

 

I've read fan theories that RHOBH is focusing on Denise because nothing was going on for the other women.  However, I doubt this because there are hours of footage that go into each week's episode and these story editors could have created drama out of any number of events that went unseen.  We have no idea about the other scenes of Sutton, Rinna, or Garcelle that could have made for an interesting story.  This was chosen because Denise stopped filming and the editors needed to provide context to the story about why that occurred.

The Brand/Denise sex story is boring!  I wish they had focused on some real dirt in the other closets.

Denise was right (or Brandi) Teddi is obnoxious and in her fathers shadow. She offers nothing to the show except Kyle can use her to stir drama.

Indeed! The show is so juicy that once you get people to sample, they’re hooked. 
 

I hate these squish credits at the end of Housewives to promote Watch What Happens Live coming next. Very distracting when you’re trying to watch the next episode preview.

 

We can’t get rid of Charrisse! She keeps coming back. Like termites.

That episode was well-edited and full of drama. 

 

That's how you do a premiere episode of a Housewives show. 

 

I (too) am saddened by the demise of Candiace/Monique; however, it is what it is. 

 

And I don't believe this newfound "friendship" with Candi and Gizelle. Those 2 hate each other and are only using each other as they have a common enemy--Monique.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.

      Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.

      I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head.

      Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.

      Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.

      First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.

      I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
