Queens. I miss the good ol' days of Housewives who were on these shows to have fun, not because they need a wannabe lifestyle funded. Camille is RICH and stirs [!@#$%^&*] up for kicks 'n giggles. 

Her dig against Dorit just recently. Epic.

First of all

Michelle pfeiffer film cinema GIF - Find on GIFER

Bless you for name-checking Henry James in allusion to Ladies of London! That is exactly it! American heiresses mixing with British high society, only updated to the modern day. I would add that Henry James's close friend Edith Wharton also excelled in writing about the Gilded Age, with Americans feeling the pull of the 'old country,' and vice versa.

I can vouch for there being many well-connected American ex-pats still living here. Most connected to financiers, but some now to tech. And the class system which all Brits reject and yet still, in some way, adhere to. I hope nuLOL preserves that because Bravo really captured the mix so well in seasons 2 and 3.

NY

 

Lol. So there was a rumor...okay from Kampire...that while Bravo can't decide waht they want to do with NY...they would be filming in August.

 

And apparently today on Radio Andy...they ARE casting.

 

So...????

Not Michelle Pfeiffer...lol.

 

Awww thank you. Part of it was probably my love of BEYOND THE GATES shining through with those haves and have-nots. But I had such a fascination with Henry James in college. Still do. I just wish I had more time to read classics as much as I used to. I know that name Edith Wharton as well. But completely describes LoL, I felt. And it was part of the reason I was so fascinated with the show in the first place. And of course, the ice queen that Caroline Stansbury used to be. 

 

Well, that's good to hear! I just hope that means we will get some interesting characters vs just another set of influencers. I figured as much about the potential specter of classism. So I'm looking forward to seeing how that part of the world sees it now since the original LoL has been off the air for...hmmm...almost a decade now? A little bit over?

RHOA

 

So I see Andy is already asking for reunion questions. Don't tell me Shady Phae Phae is only around for 5 episodes?

 

SLC

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they are done filming. Either that or I'm thinking of OC.

I didn't find Sunday's RHOA to be boring. It was more lowkey and slice of life which is what Housewives used to be in their early years. However, if their individual lives are boring, well, then you have a boring episode, lol. Lots of Angela but I wasn't bored. I don't think Britt and her nose were featured at all. 

I see both sides of Shamea vs. Porsha but I'm more Team Shamea. I loved how half their conversation was a total 4th wall breaker, discussing how the show, Porsha on-camera vs. off-camera, and Shamea's peach-holding status has affected their relationship. 

Side note: Wow, they actually let Cynthia utter the name Nene in her confessional. Also, I don't know what's going on in Cynthia's personal life, but they really should've just upped her to peach status. She's the real heart of this group.

    • LOL!  Yeah that makes sense, it seems like many soaps have that one character like this.  I do find it sad the other vets just sit around in the later years.
    • WOW!!!   Just amazing.  Her acting was topnotch and this was only an audition.  I was totally drawn into the scene!  I seriously wanted to know what happens next!
    • Even if you put the rape and the fact he was married to her sister for so long, it's a bit hard for me to buy EJ/Belle have strong feelings for one another.  They've known one another for years and years and there was never any indication they were attracted to each other until recently.  Then the first time they hooked up EJ immediately dumped her, went on to marry Nicole and steal her own brother's baby, then slept with Gabi.  I don't see any appeal for Belle here outside the obvious. I do think MM and DF have nice chemistry though. On a different note, what is on Belle's shirt?  Are they people running, crawling, riding bikes, in wheelchairs, all of the above?  The shirt is so distracting.  Worn on TV wasn't much help as I still couldn't get a close up picture.
    • Kimmer had her fans (and she is a very good actress...) but most of them were "fanatics" like Brad Cole fans..she could take a crap in the middle of the Peapack Park Gazebo and Fran from Iowa would be posting how she "Knocked it out of the ballpark this time." It also didn't help that most of the show post Rauch was geered toward giving Kimmer story, no matter how dumb it was, so the rest of the vets sat around.  Its sad..as Kimmer is a good actress and Reva..Real Post Death Reva is a good character, but taken in small doses in an ensemble..and her fans could never stand (nor could Kim)unless she is front and center. Both she and Deas were so much better subtle actors as support (Reva was actually tolerable and rootable again when she was supporting others stories.)   LOL..Kimmer would still find a way to chew the scenery..can it be a weird, Dreaming Death type plague that hits Buzz too?
    • they're copying Sheila Carter with the laugh and it's annoying AF when Sheila does it too

    • I find it pretty fascinating how polarizing the Reva character is. It seems like most folks on here aren't her biggest fan, but then on YouTube where I watch some of these episodes, the majority of comments/commentary made are on Reva episodes, promoting how wonderful she is and how much Annie sucks. I guess that's a good thing, gets people talking/debating the show.
    •   I agree with both of these takes.  I have no problem with a person being horny and trying to justify it to themself with whatever rationale.         edit to add here:         Or just being horny for enjoyment and zero rationale I just can't believe there's any deep emotional love to what Belle is feeling about EJ I had no problem with Abigail lusting after EJ -- at first. The horniness was fun in the first encounter.  But I disliked how the show wrote later on ... as if Abigail was catching feelings.  
    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
