Anyone watch these shows? I absolutely love them. Ive watched NJ and Atlanta and now they are airing NY. Couldnt get into the Orange County. Too many blondes and fake boobs. Anyone else watching the current season of NY. Lots of drama. My favorites are Bethany and Kelly. I also like Jill although she bugs me. Alex does nothing for me and I cant stand Ramona and LuAnn

Luann and Ramona..my favorite frienimie interaction:)

 

And I like Eboni...confident and observant.  Will serve her well while riding the Ramonacoaster

It does make sense. Some of the best daytime soaps in the world, once upon a time, were able to balance exactly what you describe, alongside ramping up the drama. The 'breathable' stuff is basically hitting every beat of a SL and allowing it to go its own pace without rushing it. This is what I liked about this episode. 

 

For example, I would never have known Frankie cared as much about his mother as he showed in that scene. He didn't make a fuss but his intent and feelings were clear.

 

Similarly, you could see sensitive Gabriella's tension ease when Jennifer explained her Nana's depression and put it into context.

 

I appreciated both scenes because I learned a little more about Frankie and Gabriella than I normally would have.

All of this. 

 

I loved both scenes, too.

 

So I am sad that for the last two episodes it appears ratings a (just a little bit) down. 

 

And Ooooooo at you tempting me with those NY clips. lol

(1) OMFGRealityTV on Twitter: "Whitney was on Instagram live with Heather and Jen. You can clearly see they are filming together. #RHOSLC https://t.co/ieQSXNwoAv" / Twitter

”You’ve got no skin in this game!” She was too much in her last season, but Angry Dorinda could be funny.

RHOD

 

Well, it sounds like we will be getting reveals on who got fired during the reunion. Should be fun.

 

SLC

 

Wow. They are filming with her? Is that a good thing since I don't think Jen and Heather resolved their issues?

 

 

I miss Dorinda. And I maintain that everyone overreacted to her hostility towards Leah as much as she overreacted towards Leah.

I think you might mean Tinsley, not Leah? Dorinda liked Leah and kind of wanted to ally herself with her.

 

Dorinda will be missed. The new opening credits feel a little empty without her and her multifaceted personality. But she was in denial about her anger and her drinking in a big way. To the point where the Acapulco trip was almost unwatchable the way she bullied Luann and Sonja into submission. I'm not sure if she fully understands or even feels at fault.

Yeah I meant Tinsley of course.
But here is the thing: they are all in denial. I mean, I find Ramona to be an absolute monster with not a shred of self-awareness and her behavior during the lockdown was a lot more shocking to me - and her unwillingness to acknowledge it - than anything Dorinda did.

But I get that Dorinda might need a year or a few years off to cool down. But I am going to miss her.
And I continue to think there is something we weren't told about Tinsley that explains D's behavior better than what we got.

Leah went in on Ramona and her Covidscapades during much of the pandemic, so I'm hoping we see a lot of that confrontation on the show. Sadly, Ramona partying with Don Cokehead Jr at Mar-a-lago came out after filming wrapped (!!). She really is deeply selfish and uncaring of anything but her own immediate gratification.

 

Dorinda: sometimes I wonder if she even needed a year off? The fact is, the viewer has had a year of No Dorinda, and oftentimes that is enough to come back refreshed? Dorinda could have had a redemption arc this season, but once again, I'm not sure she felt she needed to, and that may be where she and Bravo parted ways. Dorinda was not reading the room with regards to how she came across last year, and instead doubled down. She may still be harboring resentment with the other women and Bravo about not being invited back.

 

Tinsley and Dorinda. I think Dorinda was jealous of Tinsley's looks and youth, and resentful of what she viewed as the preferential treatment Tinsley got from production with regards to her SLs and whatever was really going on in her relationship with Coupon Creep. Dorinda basically called her a kept woman.

 

They also probably never got each other. Dorinda likely viewed Tinsley as really not that smart or interesting (I'm afraid I agree with that).

 

And of course Tinsley knew a few secrets about Dorinda. John asking Coupon Creep for money obviously soured Tinsley and Dorinda's relationship. Tinsley likely also knew about the extent of Dorinda drinking and other proclivities, and Dorinda, I imagine, did not like her having the upper hand. So she thought she could intimidate her into silence. Clearly Production took sides on that issue, too, and that's why they leaked the blow-up about John.

If that was the case, her anger would have predated last season and there wasn't that kind of intense anger. Something happened no one is telling us.

But both Dorinda and Bravo said - and of course that's the official line but as you said it might have some truth to it - that indeed she needed to be off for a while. The fact they kept the cast so small this season tells me they genuinely expect to try and bring her back

Sounds like it was a good start, though Andy Cokehead is at it again with the messy.

The promo for it was SO snoozeworthy, but apparently it was good? I made the wrong call to watch these lackluster Oscars....

It was OK.

 

Kenya, despite being my girl, got her feet held to fire a lot, but that's normal. She handled it well. 

 

Drew, on the other hand, continued to annoy me. One second, she's sobbing, the next she is giggling, and then she's acting like she has selective amnesia the next. I'm glad Toya came out pounced on her at the end of the reunion.

Kandi, Porsha, Cynthia, and Kenya were sitting there smiling..letting the thirsty c list housewives duke it out.

 

I'm hearing a reshuffle in cast might happen on Atlanta...but who knows if true..or if it'll work.

I enjoyed the ATL reunion tonight. However, do I think the cast needs a reshuffle? Desperately.
