Bravo's The Real Housewives of....

I have mixed feelings on the RHOA trailer. It's good to see vets Porsha and Cynthia back, and I guess Phaedra even though she's become such a one trick pony for me. I don't have a clue about all the new women so I can't be excited or disappointed either way. Same for Shamea. I think it's kinda funny she's been around the group for SO long and now she finally gets the spotlight. Yes, the same thing happened with Marlo, but Marlo had already given us many memorable moments. Shamea has always been just... there.  Oh, and Drew is back. Yay. 

So I'm cautiously optimistic. It's a 50/50 on this being pass/fail, similar to the RHONY Season 5 soft reboot of 2012.

Well now that I had time to think about it while at work...It looks like Bravo is giving Kenya the Linnethia Leakes Special to me. Shady actions all the way out the door.

 

Seriously though...my feelings for that trailer are mixed. Part of the reason RHOA has had a hard time IMHO is that it's been taking lashings that Bravo really want to give to Nene. How else do they keep finding every which way they can to damage their once # 1 show? So with that in mind, I can't with that trailer. 

 

A BETTER trailer...what I mentioned online...would be to show the buildup to Kenya's event. We already know her vs Brit (along with Porsha's return) is the main storyline. That Brit and Kenya had two confrontations at least. Kenya could have bowed out mid-season with Porsha taking the spotlight with her incoming feud with Drew and then the return of Shady Phae Phae at the end. All of the chaos seen or heard about online could have been teased a la BH's Season 9 with LVP's exit if played right. And all they gave was THIS???

 

I'm interested. Because the trailer definitely left A LOT out I hear. Good. Keep me intrigued cuz I am. But that could have been so much better. And I feel underwhelmed.

 

Keep in mind, I've only seen the trailer once. Of the new girls, I can't wait for Angela Oakley. And that Flavor Flav moment was hilarious. Kelli...not sure. I already dislike Brit from the leg thing given I already know what the audience will think of her. And assuming Production shows EVERYTHING...which I feel they won't since the trailer already seems very 'get Kenya'...Brit might be in the wrong. And if Production don't show it, I am sure Kenya will bring the receipts. I don't mind seeing how Shemea is now though it was the S9 Shemea (and her rivalry with Shady Phae Phae) which made me like her. This new one could be a great position if she picks a 'showing her wealth' lane...something RHOA does need. Shady Phae Phae...well...let's not. lol. And we know Porsha is Production's Fave so *shrugs*

 

I'm basically wait and see. 

So basically Kenya is just a FOH. Or worse...is getting the S7 Porsha Williams edit/punishment.

Yeah outside of S9 and her rivalry with Shady Phae Phae she has not given much.

You are not alone on that. That scene was extremely chilling. So I did not mind at all Sai going in about it in her Confessional. Because Brynn was just a mess last night. And now she's been all coy/smug with Production? Meanwhile Ubah was a mess when she got back to the house.

 

 

Yes. Very much so. All I want to see her do is own it. Like LuAnn did on NY back in the day. 

THANK YOU!!! I thought it was just me. If anything, I felt Jessel had a glow-up. Compare her at the first cast trip last year to now, and it's night and day. She brings fashion in a way she did not before, and I love her vibe.

Ooooo not Meilli!!! smh. 

 

I feel such a way about it.

RHOA

I didn't miss Simon's name one bit. I hope Porsha has something more to offer other than her divorce and this feud with Drew. Her divorce is old news to me and I honestly don't care. 

I pray this Brit/Kenya scandal does not play out all season. Once Kenya exits wrap that [!@#$%^&*] up! 

I completely disagree with those comments about Shamea. Shamea has always been a good addition to the show. She didn't have explosive moments like Marlo but certainly memorable ones. 

Now that Shemea’s a main housewife watch her upstage and become a fan favorite. She's full of personality, well-connected in Atlanta, and has many jobs. She has money, she has a husband, and a child, and I believe her story will touch the viewers. 

I love that Atlanta is being anchored by Porsha and Shamea who have been friends since childhood.

Just saw this comment! Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but while Gretchen is not as dumb as Alexis, that girl is no brainiac. Tamra ran circles around her and Slade back in the day. 

Part of Tamra's power lies in the bad secrets she knows about you. Gretchen and Slade had stuff to hide, and so Tamra always had leverage over them. Jennifer Pedranti is also not as smart as Tamra, but she lays almost all her cards out on the table. Consequently, Tamra is less able to threaten her.

I'm not sure Gretchen understands this nuance, and while I welcome the Shannon-Gretchen-Jen alliance, she could also mess things up badly like Alexis did.

The problem with the trailer IMO was that there wasn't any clear story anchoring it. With some of the other recent trailers (BH comes to mind) you could glean the big stories (Dorit vs Kyle). Kenya's Downfall came up very briefly and was instantly, lightly dismissed. IMO, it should have been the main inflection point of the trailer because it required the group to pick a side.

Shamea and Porsha kind of stood out at the end, but you had to wait 3 mins to get there. I didn't get a sense of the 3 newbies as independent entities, but sometimes that happens with these trailers.

@Cat Lol. Don't feel bad I tried to post a video from Instagram last night I couldn't do it either.

 

RHOP

The reunion trailer actually looks good. Miles ahead of the season for sure, I can not wait to kiki at them all interacting with Karen’s picture frame. 

Speaking of Karen I ain't mad at her for getting the Kim Richards treatment.  Even if it's just a short clip. She's still the diva of the show!

Not TJ spilling all the tea

and messy Eddie. I love the chanting at the end. This looks fun.

Wait! How did you DO THAT

I am flopping today with the embedding (thanks for understanding my struggle @DemetriKane !). But what isn't flopping is this reunion trailer which is 100%  ! February 16th? We have to wait that long? Scrap all the remaining episodes and screen this on Sunday IMMEDIATELY. 

Karen may not be there in person, but her video message certainly left Wendy in a flap. Unpopular opinion: Wendy not-so-secretly loves to play put-upon, righteous victim. Still, I cannot believe i am saying this, but Wendy Unleashed (and Eddie) may have guaranteed themselves a spot on RHOP next year just from that trailer alone. 

Everyone's foot on Mia's neck is literally Chef's Kiss. She should be called out left and right for The Lies, The Lies!

Stacey still giving me first-season Kenya Moore vibes. You know TJ was a boyfriend for hire. 

Ashley Darby giving me approximately zilch.

Reunion looks good! I'm all for them coming after Mia

There must be A LOT of talk about MIA Karen and Triflin' Mia to fill up 3 parts. 

Agreed on Wendy. On one hand, I'm glad she's not the perennial outsider anymore. On the other hand, her becoming the friendly middleman Switzerland in most of the feuds doesn't ring true. And, as much as I always wanted to like her, I think overall she doesn't have the most likeable onscreen personality. I do find myself kinda eyerolling or cringing at some of her attempts at wit in her talking heads. But she'll likely be back another year.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
