Whoa! A revamp like NYC! (just watched the visuals, no sound on my work computer)

But aren't there 2 new girls, not one? Will she be added later?

On a related question, was Sonja introduced mid-way through Season 3 of RHONY and that's why there's 2 openings floating around on YouTube, one with and one without her?

I didn't even notice Portia wasn't in that opening LOL! I wonder how things would be if they could've convinced Toya Wright to join the cast. She was offered a spot, but turned them down because unlike her shows on vh1 & BET, she wouldn't have any control over how she's portrayed. Of all of Kandi's friends, I think Rasheeda would've been a better fit on this show with her family issues. She sticks out on Love and Hip Hop, but I think she'd be more interesting as a housewife.

NeNe: "I have arriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiived. And the spotlight's on me, honey." :wub:

So I am starting to watch Season 2 of Real Housewives of Miami after the high praise seen on these threads. I never saw Season 1 but I don't think that matters. After one and a half episodes:

- It doesn't feel like a true RH show like NY, NJ or OC do... but close enough. It feels like RHoV, which makes sense -- like Vancouver, Miami is almost a foreign city, gateway to LatAm. I'm not hispanic but I grew up among a lot of hispanics/Latin Americans and so a lot of the attitudes/cultural references feel like "home" to me. Mama Elsa in particular reminds me of my best friend's mom.

- The bling truly is BLING, all with a heavy coating of tacky.

- I wish the show would let some of the parents speak Spanish if they want to when it is clear that they would rarely have a breakfast conversation with their daughter and her boyfriend en inglés. I like hearing Spanish and I don't mind reading a few subtitles.

- Joanna Krapka is beautiful but also looks like a coke addict.

- The men are pretty skeevy. Karent's Roman is getting all this ass, really? How? He's just a soap actor! Luis Miguel he ain't.

- Is it Karent or Karen T?

- Was Alexia previously part of the show? I wondered if she begged out of filming when her son got into his accident. I like what little I've seen of her.

- Karent is the Tamra Barney of the show -- the [!@#$%^&*]-stirrer with the most insincere smile on earth.

- Adriana I'm not really feeling. Lea is trying to hard to be Jill Zarin.

- Lisa, Karent, Joanna and Ana are driving all and any story right now.

- Just make Mama Elsa a full HW -- she is awesome and the real star.

Ew I could not imagine Rasheeda or anyone else on LAHH: ATL and that's just a damn shame if VH1 invited Toya. She's pretty and all but her shows are boring as hell... Tiny & Toya was boring and so is the one about her family. I loved everything about Nene... Cynthia needs to just do something. I'm never here for any of her storylines. I only remotely tune in when Leon is on there.

I can't see Rasheeda on Bravo either.

The only time I found Cynthia even a little bit interesting was when her mother and sister hid her marraige license or whatever. Somehow they managed to turn the story into something watchable other than that, Cynthia is irrelevant. I did get a laugh at her trying to turn up at the last reunion when Marlo came out.

    • Maybe Carney and Levin didn't get along, but he got along with Tolan. Who knows. I SO agree about Tolan. I am sure my jaw hit the floor when I watched her first scene. She had been hyped like crazy by the soap mags. They swore she was going to be a sensation like Mulgrew. I thought she had a speech impediment. I think more likely she just couldn't remember her lines so she ended up slurring them from nervousness. Not everyone can do soap acting, it's very difficult. There's memorizing so many lines, then there's so little rehearsal. I think she was a theater actor. Maybe she was a good one. But when the camera was fixed on her, she just...sucked. I had nothing particular against Nicolette Goulet. She just wasn't Mary. She had no chemistry with Levin. She didn't even look like she belonged in that family (a similar situation when they replaced Sarah Felder with that blond chick who was laughable as a police rookie). I don't believe it was impossible to recast the role. Kathleen Turner was doing soaps during this era. She would have been a phenomenal Mary. (Not to say that she would have been available, but just to point out there were good actors of that type around).
    • Bill Bell dusted off Jennifer Brooks death 13 years later on B&B with Caroline death.
    • Yay for Luxembourg and Greece!

         And I must say that Latvia's song is oddly magnetic. I think it deserves a place in the final. I would much rather have seen Australia and Serbia in the final than Lithuania and Malta though.   ETA: Malta, Israel, Armenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Austria, Greece, Luxembourg, Denmark and Finland qualified for the final. Australia, Serbia, Czechia, Georgia, Ireland and Montenegro eliminated.
    • Grant Aleksander is a charismatic performer, but I never liked Philip very much. I thought he was a sanctimonious ass at times and also too intense for me. I do think they had a great opportunity for his 2009 return story at showing a man who had come back from the brink and wanted to reclaim his life. If the show had continued, I am curious to see what they would have done. The show's biggest mistake with the Spauldings was keeping Alan much too long instead of having Philip take his place as head of the family. Ron Raines was the luckiest man in daytime to last for 15 years. Alan should have died in the early '00s at the latest, during the Philip/Olivia saga.
    • Too soon to make any judgments about nuTed, but I will say that I think they should've gone older.  And I also saw some chemistry between Bill and Leslie as well lol but Bill's part in Ted and Leslie's affair/Bill and Ted's friendship needed to be established a lot sooner than when the reveal happened. Their relationship could be a really good counterpoint to the Duprees.   But I really liked the parallel that was drawn between Kat and Chelsea, and what their father's did. I like their relationship and I hope they go on to investigate Laura's accident. I just hope it doesn't come until something happens between Eva and Tomas.  Btw, Happy Birthday, Eva! A lot of birthdays today

    • I love you He’s definitely not for me. He comes across very meek. Trisha is going to eat this man alive in scenes.  Excellent scenes! Her damn nicknames be tearing me the hell up
    • Stephanie also was raped in college and killed her rapist along with the help of Chelsea.  It was an accident, but that's something the show has only touched on once or twice since AK took over the role. Very good point!
    • Robinson is less imposing than Johnson was and that makes the character seem completely different. If anything he came off as someone who could have played Doug. 
    • Exactly. That's a fertile ground, where a lot of drama could be mined from. That's a great idea. Especially since her kidnapping was a part of the Dimera/Kiriakis war at the time. Not only could it cause conflict between Stephanie and Alex/the Kiriakises, it could also be tied to both families trying to buy the hospital, and how that would make the hospital look, since these villainous families both want to own it.
