Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

It seems like they kind of test people out or have well laid back-up plans with castmembers, by taping scenes that may or may not ever make it to air. Didn't they film last year with Kesha Knight Pullium with the potential of her being an added housewife? And in season 3, it started out with Lisa Wu-Hartwell still being a castmember until things happened behind the scenes (lack of storyline, not willing to create a fake storyline, shady business, whatever the issue was) and she was dropped and we only saw her once in a group party scene at Kim's. Perhaps Porsha was one of the lucky ones who made it to housewife status after Kim left.

Wasn't that also the case with that Marlee Matlin lookalike who was friends with Jill in New York's season 3, a test spot that ultimately went to Sonja?

Jennifer Gilbert from RHONY was filmed for several months and I recall in the build up to season 3 she was mentioned quite a bit in the press. It was a shock to her when she saw how greatly reduced her role was. I seem to recall a bio being on the Bravo website, but it being removed. I'd love to see some of that stuff as bonus footage, even for the lost footage episode it would be great.

Lisa's another good example of a HW who faded away. I found that a shame since she was a popular and important part to those first two seasons. I'd love to see her return.

If Im not mistaken, Lisa was never a season 3 housewife. She moved out of ATL, so that took her out of the equation. She was commuting back and forth from wherever she was to it, so it wouldnt have worked out for her and Bravo

Jennifer (I think was her name) was a friend like Sonja. I read both were gonig to be full housewives but they chose to only go with Sonja. I think Jennifer had 2 or 3 episiodes and wasnt really featured in any of them. I dont get why she even got "friend" billing

Speaking of which, has this woman even appeared on BH yet? Camille is on more than she is, yet she's supposed to be one of the "friends"

Marisa started filming much later and first appears next week. She's in the previews on Bravotv.com. And with Jennifer on RHONY, I don't remember her even getting the Friend of billing. They only really showed her scenes as a party planner.

One thing I'm noticing is that pretty much everything featured in the supertrailer for ATL and BH has already happened or is happening within a couple weeks. That tells me we have no idea whats in store for the rest of the season. I'm curious to see where things are going to go since we know these seasons will probably have 20 episodes. ATL in particular since we now see Nene and Kenya are good friends. I'm curious how things get to that point and if this "Crazy Kenya" will remain the entire season. What happens to make Nene like her?

Nope, haven't seen her yet. I think I read she appears in like episode 8 or 10, or something way down the line (though I guess it'll be here before we know it!)

I just recently watched the whole season 3 of New York (love, love, love! So much I could say about that season... it is EPIC) and you can definitely tell that Jennifer was meant to be something more than just a casual friend. From the way they introduced her through Jill and then later when crazy Kelly is recapping her warped version of what happened on Scary Island, it was her, Jill, LuAnn, and Jennifer seated at the restaurant. Jenn didn't say much. Maybe she did in actuality, but we didn't see it. But knowing what I knew beforehand while watching it, you could definitely see her as being the 8th housewife. Can you imagine EIGHT in an opening?

Same thing happened with Fernanda on the OC for Season 6. Peggy got the HW spot, and Fernanda was in the press as the first lesbian housewife... she was even in the professional group and single photos taken for the promos/website, and had a bio as a housewife for awhile. I think they realized she didn't give much and her role was left on the cutting room floor. I remember her big Independence party - no one went to, not even her friend Tamra.

So next week is the season finale for Miami? Dang :( This season was definitely longer than Season 1, but I also feel like it was shorter than the normal NJ/ATL/NYC/OC/BH seasons.

Any idea if there is a reunion this year? I'm sure there will be. I hope they let Alexia stay on the full reunion too... she had more of a role this year than Ana!

15 episodes is pretty decent but it did feel short bc so much was done and it feels like theres still so much more that could be done. I was thorughly entertained

I dont even get what the point of Alexia being downgraded was, bc she was always on and right in the middleof things. She felt like just one of the other housewives. Its almost as if Bravo didnt want there to be 8, so they kept her around as a "friend"

As for the last episode, I really cant stand Marysol and loved Leah calling her out. Marysol looked like a fool as she had no defense and woudlnt even own up to her ish. I swear the only thing she is good for is providing the wonderful Elsa. Speaking of which, LOVED Elsa being upset with those witches for what they did to Karent. Good for her to call them out!

RHOBH:

Just didn't think my hatred for Kyle could run any deeper, but wow! It is ok to start chit at any event as long as it's not Mauricio's? Lisa is having a tasting and the first thing out of Kyle's mouth is what's up with Brandi and Adrienne? God, I hate her! Didn't take out two seconds to tend to Kim when she was falling apart in the bathroom a week ago. All she cared about was sticking it to Brandi. It looks as if some feel that if they can't get Lisa, which is a no no, the will go for the next best thing, her friend Brandi.

Kim?? I was in your corner for a minute, but you are sober now (I think) so you should have known better than to spill, especially at that time. Back to hating this drunk wretch! But I have to say, chit starter Kim is a tad interesting.

Taylor? Why is that monstrous bitch still on this show? Shouldn't she be signing up for Destitute Housewives Of Bravo? I believe Sheree's already attached.

Lisa? Utter Utter FABULOUSNESS! Looks like a trillion bucks in jeans and a jacket.

Paul is turning out to be the biggest bitch of the season.

Adrienne, I get it. You don't want anyone to know that you didn't have time to carry your own children. I totally get it! Taking Brandi to court only means you have to prove what she said was false. Hope you realize that.

RHOA:

Kenya not acknowledging Porsha was so damn hilarious. But it looks like Porsha will be holding her own tonight. She may gain some serious points.

Liked that Phaedra didn't laugh in Kenya's face while being upset with that inappropriate behavior. Let that bitch know that it aint right.

This guy does not want Kenya any more than I do.

Kandi is really turning into a worthless wretch.

Kim is gone! YAY!!!!!!!

    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things

    • The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine. 
    • As I've said before I don't believe the fact that both sisters have cheating husbands (one in the past, one more recently) is a coincidence or anything random. It's pre-thought and pre-planned and the message is clear. Cheaters can be found in all shapes, forms and sizes. Some do it in the most blatant way, they are known serial cheaters and their wives know of their past hook ups (as Dani has already said... she was willing to forgive Bill for his previous mistresses... till Hayley came) and some are more masterfully disguised in the image of the perfect husband. The fact that Dani was jealous of her sister Nicole's happy marriage in the first episodes was not a coincidence. I knew it the first second I heard it. It made me wonder and think what is beneath Nicole and Ted's picture perfect life. The show painted two very different sisters and then gave them the same crisis. It was intentional and dramatically focused on how these women acted after that... How they kept or did not keep their dignity. The contrasts and the similarities are not random. They connected the two stories very well. Telling us that beyond the gates there are secrets... lies and betrayals. And sometimes the happiest ones have the biggest skeletons in their closets. Is all of this a cliche? A soap opera serial cliche? Yes. Does it still work? Yes. And did we need to start with something that is more universal and easier to stomach by the mass audience? Yes. This is only the beginning of the show in terms of stories and themes. We will have years ahead of us to explore different aspects of these people. The first couple of months it had to be a classic sex and betrayal story that makes more people hooked. It's universal. Again. Nothing so far about both husbands being cheaters is coincidental for me. It's too early for that.
    • Thanks, these are great! Joanne Curtis, another soap character punished for having an abortion

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
    • And that area of the DMV has a high-end glamorous casino the MGM National Harbor. 
    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?
