How can they do RHONJ without Teresa when all the wives spent most of their airtime talking about Teresa? Unlike Nene with RHOA, Teresa is too crucial to NJ's success in a way that no other housewife is for any franchise. Its her show. None of the remaining women can carry it and the dynamics between Jackie, Melissa, Jennifer, Dolores and Margeret just isnt that interesting. If Teresa is out so am I like I did when they booted Vickie and Tamra from OC

They'd do the same thing they did after Lisa Vanderpump left RHOBH:  Focus on a new target. 

 

 

That said, I do think the show would falter without Teresa, love her or hate her. It's not just her; it's her famb-il-y. While the early years of RHONJ had the Manzos as the main family, the Guidices took over and we've seen them all grow up and have lil personalities of their own.

Well @Antoyne I don't know how far you have gotten with S3, but Lydia was definitely given the villain edit that season. Part of it was her own fault -- Lydia is a terrible gossip who passes around a lot of rumors, some of them damaging. But Production was keen to bring her down that season, hence the hiring of Susie (who, yes, is kind of dull but I've seen worse HWs). She had a long history with Lydia and was determined to destroy her. I believe she even hired one of Lydia's housekeepers away from her?? In Rich People's World, that is equivalent to a declaration of war.

I won't give anything away, but one of Lydia's rumors earned her AND Foxtel a cease-and-desist letter from some lawyers. The rumor is inferred, though not directly, on the show, at a big showdown in Dubai. We can talk about it when you've seen the episodes in question, LOL.

Honestly, Pettifleur was so exhausting to watch. I much preferred her replacement, Venus, in S4. An underappreciated newbie.

I vaguely remember Lydia essentially being the reason Chyka left the show for some rumors she either started or spread about Bruce.

Pettifleur is killing me with this victim act like she's not a total monster. I just want her to go away.

It's interesting to see how Gamble essentially became the star of the show in only her second season. I love her and Rick.

I also love Gina, but I also love when her lies get revealed. Like going to watch her episode of Celebrity Apprentice.

RHOA Alumnis Claudia and Shamari are gonna be on the upcoming season of VH1's Couples Retreat

Yes, I believe the gossip implied Bruce was gay, and Chyka and Bruce were doing projects in the Middle East where they felt the rumors would harm the business. So the company sent a cease and desist to Foxtel, and allegedly that is why Chyka did not appear in S4. And why Jackie and Janet hated Lydia in S3-S4 and tried to exclude her from certain events. Gina ended up being Lydia's wing-girl.

Gina got onto all kinds of trouble with Sally in S4.

See I saw a lot of season 3 when it aired on Bravo but I’ve never seen season 4 so I’m pumped to see it, especially with it being Lydia and Gina’s final seasons. Which wow, talk about huge losses. Love or hate them, they’re pretty essential to Melbourne imo. I’ll be happy to see Pettifleur go.

Huge losses, because Gina and Lydia entertained me the most. Personally I thought S4 was a great season, even better than S3. I loved it.

I'm about to start S5 tonight, without G & L. I believe @DaytimeFan has already watched it and gave his thoughts a few months back.

About effin’ time. But I guess she gotta get that bag. I can’t stand her (the motherly redemption didn’t work for me). She caped for that grotesque dude for way too long. I understand why, but that doesn’t mean it absolves her.

I'm inclined to agree, even though I've liked Ashley a lot more the last couple of seasons. She secured the bag, sure, but that doesn't mean she should get a medal for covering for the Cryptkeeper when that Bravo crew member raised a sexual harassment suit.

... and Potomac is currently filming? Way to keep yourself fresh and relevant, 7 seasons in. You get them coins sis. 

OMG, Evodia vs Cristall from Johannesburg is the BEST fight in the history of the RH franchise across all cities. Im watching on Tubi and legit watched this 10 times in a row

 

 

 

 

 

Im not a bitch my darling. I dont have 100 men. I only stick to one man...Ive never stuck to men that give me big houses and then dumped me at the end of the day'

'Im not that kind of a woman, BITCH!"

 

Evodia is THAT bitch! I love her and her energy and how quick she was to gather and drag Cristall
