Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

On Love & Marriage, as much as I love Monique, she tried to control the narrative to the point, that it drove her mad. But I get it. I think she felt the pressure of wanting to present a strong Black family on TV to the point of her undoing. She left the show too b/c she (before Bethenny) raised the question of why they don't get residuals. That left a sour taste in Carlos King's mouth and they parted ways. 

Oh? I didn't know that Foxtel was a Murdoch company. Now it all makes sense. Do you think Lisa was cast because her husband is an extremist and probably runs in the same circles as Rupert Murdoch? Aussies, please educate me. 

I thought Cheshire would fit into Bravo in its early seasons. I have not watched the show since Ampika left (SIDE NOTE: She's returning this upcoming season), so I don't know how it is now. I've seen clips at the most via Twitter.

@NothinButAttitude I'm not Australian so hopefully Aussies will correct me, but my understanding was that Lisa's husband was such a hot mess politically that Murdoch and his acolytes never would have legitimately backed him on the political stage. There were so many scandals and power struggles in that extremist party of his that he was eventually expelled from it. He then transitioned into reality TV with Lisa where they put their troubled marriage out there for public consumption. They have since divorced. So I think to the Murdoch execs, he was a useful idiot they could make some money off of. 

Lisa, who very likely had similar views as her husband and enjoyed the fame, came across to me as nobody's idiot. She trolled not just the other RHs but the audience itself. I suspect Foxtel saw that right away, saw that she understood the game and would be great for the show. She was an extremely controversial choice, though. Victoria voiced it on-camera and at the reunion, but she wasn't the only one who felt the Oldfields should not have been offered a platform given their extremist views. 

I remember Ampika! And Dawn. The Magali! The good old days. 

Good for Monique, honestly. Way before Bethenny jumped on that bandwagon.

That said...you all see Muppethead trying to troll online now that the cast released pictures?

8 is too many.  6 is the magic number where we can get a nice balance of individual vignettes and group scenes.

Potomac needs to be deducting housewives, not adding to the stale numbers.

 

RHOSLC:

Monica is just pure trash... good for housewives, but certainly someone I wouldn't be friends in real life.  I certainly wouldn't trust her with anyone married or my significant other.  

Lisa is all about Lisa.. and tonight I was understood what Monica was saying and agreed with Monica.. though I do think Monica is projecting her insecurities onto Lisa.  Actually.. she and Lisa are more alike then either would like to admit.

Whitney... you may have gotten some coaching from Candiace.. but you're still in the reading people for beginners class.

Angie K... makes me wonder why Angie H isn't there instead LOL

Heather has the best talking heads especially during the team building scenes at the park LOL

We’re so blessed to be getting this and Married at the same time.

RHOC

Wow, Heather effortlessly ate up Tamra last night without breaking a sweat. The other ladies really are complete dumbasses for how they let Tamra so easily do the same [!@#$%^&*] over and over.

I have no words. This lady has a fixation with the show, and it is not anchored in reality.

 

 

Ugh I hate to give Bethenny any clicks as she uses other people's struggles and trauma to burnish her own brand, but yes I will be listening to this interview from beginning to end. I hope B doesn't talk all over her.

 

 

They all look true to themselves:

Erin, the stay-at-home mom "but I'm still young and cute, guys."

Sai wants you all to know that she is an INFLUENCER.

Jessel cannot dress for sh!t, but look how thrilled she looks!

Of course Brynn went for 'Sexy Victoriana.'

Ubah looks like a supermodel at an awards show, but her smile literally lights up the room.

There was chatter online about Jenna's choice of jeans, and how dare she at a reunion. I knew she'd try to JCrew it. It's fine. Jenna has a very set, very controlled image of herself from her JCrew days and she's never going to stray from that. It would be, like, betraying her brand.

 

Speaking of Jessel -- I am screaming in excitement. YES BRING BACK CAROLE RADZIWILL

    • I saw a new BTG promo during Watson tonight (Sunday May 11).   I don't remember what I saw (and I wouldn't say here on the nonspoiler thread anyhow). I know only that it was different from the "next on BTG" preview at the end of Friday's episode. If anyone catches the new promo, please post it on the spoiler thread.
    • I hope GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial I'd love to have Scott, Robert, Holly, Rose Kelly, Mike Webber, Blackie Parish  & Claudia Phillips return for the episodes
    • As requested by @BoldRestless the 1976 story summary of Y&R from the Daytime serial newsletter. I will post it in parts as it is quite detailed.  Pt 1 Set in Midwestern Genoa City, The Young and the  Restless, which premiered four years ago, is the story of the Brooks and Foster families. Jennifer and Stuart Brooks are, on the surface, the perfect couple, blessed with four beautiful daughters, but under the veneer of a first impression lie cracks in the facade. Jennifer had become dissatisfied with her marriage after the birth of her oldest daughter, Leslie, and had left Stuart with the idea of returning to her former fiancé, Dr. Bruce Henderson. After later reconciling with Stuart, Jennifer found she was pregnant with Laurie, and she has lived all these years with the suspicion that Laurie may be Bruce’s daughter. Leslie  has recovered from a nervous breakdown and is now a famous concert pianist, happily married to former Surgeon now newspaperman Brad Elliot.  . Chris Brooks is married to Dr. William (Snapper) Foster, and Peggy, the youngest Brooks daughter, is a college student. Jennifer recently left Stuart a second time, considering again a life with Bruce, but the discovery of a lump in her breast followed by a mastectomy for cancer has again changed her priorities.   Laurie, meanwhile, has been dating Dr. Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son.  Snapper’s mother, Liz Foster, had finally accepted the fact that her husband, Bill, had abandoned their family and had had him declared dead when he suddenly walked back into their lives, suffering from emphysema. Jill, Liz and Bill’s only daughter, was married to Phillip Chancellor, the father of her unborn child, just hours before his death. Phillip obtained a quick Caribbean divorce upon learning of his impending fatherhood and was badly injured when his now-ex-wife, Kay, meeting him at the airport upon his return, lost control of the car when he told her of his plans to marry Jill. After Phillip’s death Kay vowed to void his marriage to Jill and deprive Jill of |his estate. Kay’s son from her first marriage, Brock Reynolds, supports Jill in her claim, but Kay, a former alcoholic, cannot accept the idea of having lost Phillip to her former paid companion. Greg Foster, Jill and Snapper’s brother, is an attorney working for Legal Aid, where Chris is his assistant. Upon learning that her daughter Lauralee has become engaged to Dr. Bruce Henderson’s son Mark,Jennifer Brooks tells Mark she suspects he and.Laurie are half brother and sister. She explains she spent a week with Bruce after a bad fight with her husband, Stuart, when she believed their marriage was over. A blood test confirms her fears—Stuart cannot be Laurie’s father. Keeping what he’s learned to himself,Mark painfully breaks his engagement to Laurie and leaves town. Laurie is shattered by this, unable to understand what went wrong. But soon she begins to put bits and pieces together and confronts hermother, asking what she said to Mark that drove him away. Jennifer finally tells her daughter the truth and stands helplessly as Laurie turns to run to her father for comfort and suddenly realizes he’s not her father—even this her mother has taken from her. Laurie follows Mark to Cleveland and tries to persuade him that they can still be married—they need not have children—only to be hurt again when Mark sadly tells her their love would become dirty and they would wind up hating themselves and each other. Heart broken, Laurie agrees to let him go. Jennifer has recently left Stuart, due to growing frustration in her marriage, and had planned to marry Bruce, but discovery of breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy caused her to reconsider her plans. When Stuart earnestly pleaded with her to come home to him and their daughters after her recovery, she agreed, but now her guilt over Laurie’s situation has caused her to waver. When Laurie confides the truth to her older sister Leslie, Les makes it clear to her mother that she finds the idea that Jennifer would think of returning to her father contemptible. But Brad Elliot,Leslie’s husband, warns her to hide her feelings or her father will notice and ask for an explanation.Jennifer gives in to Stuart’s wishes, and he welcomes her home as his wife again. Leslie has had two more piano-concert triumphs and basks in the attention of the music world, as well as that of Lance Prentiss, a wealthy industrialist who has been following her career with avid interest. Les invites Lance home to Genoa City, hoping the dynamic, handsome young titan of business can help distract Laurie from her heartbreak. With the birth of Jill Foster’s baby imminent, Kay Chancellor offers Jill one million dollars for the child —fathered by her late husband, Phillip Chancellor. After Phillip’s death Kay had the divorce ruled invalid and voided Jill’s marriage, making her unborn child illegitimate. But now, finally acknowledging Jill’s baby as Phillip’s, Kay tells Jill she can give the child the Chancellor name and social position, as well as the love she had for Phillip. Jill, torn by love for Phillip and his baby and the extreme financial need of her family (Jill’s father is dying of emphysema and needs a warm, dry climate), realizes that Kay can give her child everything he could need, things Jill could never provide, and agrees to Kay’s terms.  Jill’s son, Phillip Chancellor Foster, is born prematurely a few days later. Liz Foster, Jill’s mother, is horrified that Jill would “sell” her son to Kay, and Jill’s father, Bill, is horrified that it is concern for his health that led Jill to this arrangement. He would rather die than give up his grandson. But when Jill, who has avoided seeing her child, has to take physical custody of him in order to deliver him to Kay, she is suddenly unable to give him up.

        haha you did good explaining all that. So basically Monday's episode is gonna be what was suppose to be Friday's episode. Even though CBS and PPlus uploaded Monday's Aka Friday's show before they deleted it? LOL
    • I do mean those two, but when I download them, the Chris from Greece version is from RTL with subtitles and starts with a doctor greeting Stephanie and the rsclassicfanfanforever version is from Videoland, no subtitles and starts with Tawny and Becky? Sorry if this was already discussed. Is the Chris version merged with another episode? That one is longer.
    • B&B episode Episode #9521 (Season 38, Episode 162) was scheduled for Thurs. May 8. It was officially preempted, although some areas saw it, (Some areas saw the Steffy/Finn/Monaco rerun on May 8.) cbs.com and PPlus had 9521 (S38,E162) uploaded on May 8, despite it being preempted from that date, and they never took it down. B&B officially aired #9521 (S38, E162) on broadcast CBS television on Fri. May 9. B&B officially postponed the next episode #9522 (Season 38, Episode 163) to air on Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus had #9522 (S38, E163) uploaded Fri. May 9, despite it not airing yet on broadcast tv until Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus still had the early upload of 9522/S38,E163 available on their websites for about a day and a half, LOL,... (even though it doesn't air until May 12)... and then they finally removed it from their websites.   ALSO... at the same time as removing 9522/S38,E163 . . . .  cbs.com and PPlus fixed the website label for #9521 (S38, E162), which had displayed as "May 8" but now correctly says "May 9". --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Canada "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded #9521 (S38, E162) on Thurs. May 8, because they didn't realize at first that it was preempted in USA. Eventually ctv.ca Canada deleted the early upload of S38,E162. But then... "ctv.ca" Canada didn't re-upload #9521 (S38, 162), even after it aired in the USA officially on May 9. And apparently they were afraid to upload anything new, so for a couple of days, the most recent episode available  on ctv.ca was Wed. May 7,  #9520 (S38, E161). Finally  "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded *BOTH* of these: #9521 (S38, 162) (USA official airdate Fri. May 9)... And #9522 (S38, 163) (USA official airdate Mon. May 12)... listing it as as Monday May 12 and it's still on their website. --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Australia: "10play.com.au" fast-track Australia seemed to know what to do. They waited until 9521 aired in USA officially before uploading to their site. They haven't uploaded 9522 yet. (I don't have access to view Australia episodes, but I can see their menu. I kept checking their website multiple times over the past few days, and I saw the thumbnails and episode descriptions.)  ------------------- That was extremely confusing for me to type up. I probably made some errors. LOL.
    • The one that Christos did would be the RTL Lounge recording (without end credits and subtitles) and the one @rsclassicfanforever did would be the Videoland version with end credits and no subtitles). Is that what you mean by two versions? @BoldRestless
