 You will LOVE them. Vancouver Season 1 is a complete storyline from start to finish alone. But Melbourne...I heard of the awesome fabulousness of Gina loooong before I saw her due to this board. And once I saw her due to a marathon on Bravo...it was love at first sight.

100%. Every episode has been the same configuration, different locale, but even St Lucia cannot save us from the repetitiveness now. I hope the reunion is two episodes away, and not 5!. Sutton, Garcelle and Dorit are trying hard to make the rivalries work but it just feels so scripted and produced -- right down to Garcelle's Production-induced prodding of Kyle's love life.

The only positive aspect was we didn't get Kyle & Mo passive-aggressively staring each other down.

Vancouver S1 had a SL for the ages: the battle of good versus evil for the troubled soul of Ronnie Negus. Seriously, though, it was perfection. Not a wasted minute. And what a fantastic Greek chorus Christina was.

As for Melbourne, that cast you cited radiated joy, directness,  humour and self-deprecation. These women were strong in their own selves, and therefore able to laugh at themselves. Just like with classic OG RHONY, there were episodes were I literally laughed out loud.

I hope you check them out. Both seasons 1 of Melbourne and of Vancouver are short and very accessible. Vancouver is intense as only female friendships can be and chock full of drama. Melbourne is hilarious, with two clueless, wealthy HWs really thinking they were the bee's knees -- and getting exposed on camera as a result.

Ohh I like these!  I don't mind the new graphics, although the title card for each lady is giving me Asian vibes - like Chinese with all the red graphics and their outfits... which is fine of course haha, but just what it reminds me of.

I will second what the other guys said. Vancouver season 1... is the wildest reality show ride... I've been on my entire life. Imagine a Disney villain... but real-life one... and then you have the antagonist of the franchise. It starts with a huge conflict... and there is no calm and boring SECOND.

Thats my favorite track but wish it was longer bc its a bop!

Unusual also has some good vocals

Im shocked by how much Im loving Drew these days. I couldnt stand her in her debut season but she has emerged as my favorite peach (since Kenya got demoted). I do think the way she is moving in regards to Porsha to be snakelike but I find her fascinating and enjoyable. I root for her

Meh... Drew is kinda like Potomac's Wendy where I want to like her, but there's something off. Actually I think Drew ranks worse. Not only does she have a cringey wannabe personality, but her fake one-season business ventures have been so poorly done. The "drop it with Drew" mention on Sunday was a cute nod but also an example of one of her sloppily thrown together business storylines that never had any legs to begin with. 

It's pretty crazy that with this massive cast overhaul, she was the only one left standing. It's like RHONY Season 4 wiping out everyone but keeping Cindy Barshop.

Nah it makes sense. When S15 was going off the air, I felt they could have gotten rid of everyone and rebooted th show with nw younger woman around Drew and they kinda did that. She was the only one with story and ended the season with more to tell. Oh and best believe this music isnt just for a storyline. Its always been her passion and its what she started out trying to do decades ago but she didnt have the right team nor made the best decisions. Im glad to see it finally working in her favor

    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek
