BH

 

It seems Lipsa might have underestimated people's dislike of her and love of Garcelle if people are calling her out on Bid Night.

 

But I guess that's what one gets when they butt their lips into a fight that does not concern them. Let 'the Queen' fight her own battle with the Queen.

POTOMAC

 

Great mind thinks alike. I was surprised there was no comment yet. 

 

I liked it. While I felt it was really our first filler episode, that really doesn't matter. It was still great, good, and just light fun with subplots running throughout like a great soap.

 

And OMG The production are so darn shady. lol. Loved it. Unlike BH, they are very tongue in cheek.

 

Except for Michael. Perhaps it's because of all that's going on over at BH, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that they really don't like Michael. Ashley sure, but Michael. They worked hard to get rid of him last season and I just feel this is more of the same. Is this all about his butt grabbing him or there something else we don't know about? hmmmm.

 

I loved that Wendy and Ashley made up and talked. Woman to woman. Though I was like 'Ashley!!! Just take what you can get and stop trying to get those two words out of Dr. Wendy! ugh!'

 

And darn on Candice...she was trying to be good.

 

And can I say Dr. Wendy's husband is fOINE.

Not as easy and breezy as the rest of this season, but just as enjoyable. Can't wait for next week.

I finally watched part one of then BH reunion. When a season is as bad as this one, they shouldn’t do a reunion. 
I can’t stand Teddi and I think her clothes are ugly but Sutton having disdain for someone’s clothes when she dresses like she does is laughable.  She’s almost as boring as Teddi. And what an uppity bitch pretending she can’t  pronounce Buca di Beppo.  
Kyle is a horrible actress and should be fired immediately.

Rinna is a horrible actress and should be fired immediately. As if Hamlin would bother with the lock on her shoe! 
 

I can take Dorit, Garcelle, Denise and even Erika if they get her away from the yucks.

I think the reunions are a part of the franchise that are no longer necessary. 

 

First, the cast goes on WWHL several times per season, so there are ample opportunities for them to comment on the drama, far too often the reunion is a retread of what they have already stated on Twitter or WWHL.  Second, they can't reference the reunion directly within the season so they are always referring to it as this obtuse situation that caused a rift in their relationships.  Third, there is either never any resolution to the season's arguments or the resolution seems contrived because it happened outside of their natural milieu.

 

I think much like the Bravo blogs that caused more trouble than they were worth, production would be better off by trying resolve story lines within the context of the 22 episodes per season.

^^^ I agree, they could at least limit the reunions to one episode instead of dragging it thru 3 parts.

 

Potomac is still my favorite. Why are they going back in on Michael? Is it because of the past alleged butt grabs?  I remember him telling Ashley he didn’t wants more kids in the earlier seasons but she persisted and got her baby. She can’t really be upset now that he doesn’t want to spend time with the baby.


New York- Dorindas overreaction to the mention of Tinsley was ridiculous. So glad they fired her. 
Personally, I’d like to see Jill and Bethenny back.

That does raise a good point...

 

All the seasons used to have a beginning, middle, and end with the reunion just added on. Now people wait until the reunion when they should have done it during season. But that's more editing and production than the cast I would say. After all when RHOA Season 6 was filming they got so much drama out the girls that editing/production wanted EVERYTHING and extended filming just so they would be on ready for a great reunion. Or was that Season 7? The season where Nene and Marlo fell out over Kenya was Season 6 right?

One only has to look at Season 1 of the Real Housewives of Vancouver, which in my opinion is the single best stand alone season of any franchise - all down to the fact it had a beginning, middle, and end of the arc when Ronnie turned on Jody and Mary was proven right that Jody was selling used (or as Jody put it 'vintage') handbags at her store.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
