This really took me back! I remember getting chills watching this. Caroline Manzo's prediction may have been close to being right -- until the judge handed down a sentence on Teresa, too.

These days, I tend to side-eye Caroline for standing behind her brother-in-law for his terrible assault on Dina and her current guy. That being said, I wonder what it would be like if Caroline returned to RHONJ.

Worth...the...wait.

That was such a nice premiere episode. I was so happy to see the girls again. I was so happy to see the houses. I was happy to see the wealth (Yes, Alexia's I mean your car elevator). It was such a nice setup to get caught up with everyone and all around a simple concept: the return of an OG. Whether loved or loathed, Larsa was a part of this show and went on to have 'some' fame, so of course the idea of her coming back was going to be met with some envy and shade, but still...good idea.

 

For me, it went something like this...

 

THE OGS

 

ALEXIA. One thing I always liked about her has been that she has put it out there. And it was nice to see how Frankie was doing. Shame Peter and her new man are not getting along. And yes, scandalous already with the stuff with Herman. And the gay lover wants to meet her? Wow.

 

MARYSOL. Every remembrance of Mama Elsa was gold, but it was nice to see Marysol come out of her shell. I was not bugged...except for her trying to start stuff with Kiki. 

 

LISA. Wow. Lenny has aged. I was shocked. I was happy to hear they find had kids. I was not happy to hear that they grew apart.

 

ADRIANA. Oh, how I miss her raven hair. And her old face. That said, she hasn't changed at all. And it was already nice to see this rivalry between her and Larsa.

 

LARSA. She was just kinda there tbh. I didn't hate her. I didn't like her. I was pretty indifferent. It was just funny how Adriana kept taking pop shots at her.

 

THE NEWBIES.

 

NICOLE. She was kinda there, but I didn't find her as boring as I expected to find her. And oooh at Marysol already disliking her. Shades of Marysol vs Lea Black?  

 

JULIA. Lord, she is such a sweetheart. I like her.

 

GUERDY. LOVE. There was nothing about her and how she moved that I did not like. Workholics unite!!! lol. 

 

And just cuz...I love Kiki, too.

 

And that bartender at Larsa's Hot Girl Summer Party....YUUUUMMMMM!!!!

 

Good start. I MADE IT, YA'LL!!!

Did you catch Mama Elsa's (and the other OGs) words from S1-3 echoing over the gorgeous shots of Miami? I thought that was a nice bridge at the beginning. 

I honestly cannot wait to 'rewatch' RHOM through your posts (should you continue to watch) and see if your initial impressions change or not!

I don't want to give too much away, because the beauty of this reboot is you discovering what happens yourself. However, I love the attention Peacock pays to the HWs' individual stories, the slow build. 

Also, I've said this before, but like RHONY, the sense of place/atmosphere is so prevalent that Miami becomes like an additional character.

If I continue...GUUUUUURRRRRL I already have it set in my brain to make it Appointment TV every Tuesday with tacos and wine.  

But seriously, one thing that RHOM has always done well is the voiceover. I go back to the Season 2 voiceover post-Larsa and Cristy's exit often. It was so refreshed with the Old Miami vs New Miami vibe with shouts of the various views of Miami society throughout. So it was the same with Mama Elsa's voiceover. I always get a mild chill when she says 'you never know what destiny has in store for you...' I thought it was well done as a recap to the 4 OGs with the shots of the city. God, if I didn't know so many...I mean this in a nice way...have-nots from Miami...I wouldn't mind going there. It's so beautiful to look. 

 

And heheh every time they showed someone's houses, I kept thinking 'ooooh, I bet Cat got her life watching all this furniture porn.' Because I loved all the houses. I think Alexis (with that car elevator) was my favorite. And Lisa's pool that looks like it connects right to the ocean. I was like OMG Woooooooooow! 

 

They don't have their first group event again until Episode 5, right? I think there are enough individual stories going on that it is not completely needed and it will give a nice build when they come together again.

 

Another thing...along with the backdrop of Miami as its own character a la NY...that I liked about Miami was its large cast of supporting colorful characters. That was another reason...oh, and the fact they were a group of friends...that Season 2 was THAT girl. So I giggled at the Elaine flashback. Even in death, Herman is one. Alexia's kids. Now Herman's ex lover. That gay assistant giving Alexia the tea. Kiki herself. I'm looking forward to more.

LOL We are so harsh about Andy and BH! And no wonder -- I always feel a little conned/taken advantage of by this franchise . Everything is so tightly controled, scripted, contrived. (The fact that Kyle goes for a working lunch with the producers to thrash out SLs and ideas before filming starts really has me side-eying). And Rinna does nothing all season until the very end when she accuses another cast member of some crime or other. Which.... I understand may be happening this year!

Prediction: we will see the words "DID SHE... DIDN'T SHE SAY IT" and 'WHO DO YOU BELIEVE" in this promo alongside footage of Kathy Hilton fleeing the cameras.

    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
    • Daytime Confidential did a podcast of the worst mothers in soaps and here were their lists.  5.Felicia Scorpio 4.Reva Shayne 3.Dina Mergeron 2.Helena Cassadine/Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions- Stephanie Forrester,Ann Douglas, Phyllis Summers and Joanna Manning Joshua 5.Anna Devane 4.Diane Jenkins 3.Ava Vitali 2.Shelia Carter 1.Brooke Logan Dishonorable Mentions-Alexis Davis, Felicia Scorpio, Eve Donovan, Heather Webber, Natalia Ramirez, Stephanie Forrester,and Ruth Martin Luke 5.Natalia Ramirez 4.Diana Coville 3.Helena Cassadine 2.Alexis Davis 1.Arlene Vaughn Dishonorable Mentions-Stephanie Forrester Now for my comments. Wonder what Ruth Martin ever did to this guy?!!! I mean Ruth Martin? I don't get it. Next, IMO they are just picking on Eve Donovan. Who is Dina Mergeron? Same question  Joanna Manning? Diana Colville Is that because of the bad DAYS retcon of her being Leo Stark's mother? All of the rest, CO-SIGN!  
    • Thanks! Looking forward to reading the rest!

    • I don't really care about what the men are wearing, or not wearing.   What I care about is focusing on the writing and character development for each of the male characters. Andre really doesn't have a lot of character development that sets him apart from the other male characters except that he seems content to be degraded and mistreated by the elitist Dani.  I would like to know why a good looking younger guy like Andre would willingly be at the mercy of an emotional vampire such as Dani.   Martin, on the other hand, seems to have decent character development.. and it is partly due to how the actor chooses to recite his lines.  Martin was raised in a very privileged household and probably went to the best schools... so it makes sense that he would come across as thinking he was above everyone else.  Most people raised in a upper class situation as the Duprees would view themselves as better than others (it's the same trait Dani seems to employ on those she feels superior to). It makes me wonder how Nicole came out of that family being so warm and nurturing  when her family dynamics seemed very appearance oriented.
