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.

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.

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.

    • To me, he was her best romantic pairing!
    • In 1986, the writers had Zane shot twice in March and August when he died.  It’s like they didn’t know what to do with the character after they married him to Felicia.
    • Totally feel the same. Stacy’s fine, but this version of Kristen just exists for Brady’s storyline. No flashbacks, no real layers. Eileen always brought that extra spark - and her chemistry with Drake back in the day? So good. Definitely feels like a missed opportunity. Can you imagine Eileen’s Kristen walking in, all shaky, and just hugging Marlena? Both of them crying - like actual, messy, earned tears? That would’ve hit so much harder. Pure soap gold.
    • Xanthe, evidence of the Michigan setting could be found in the scenes when Rachel is on the run for shooting Mitch, which was in late 1980/early 1981. I remember a scene where they showed Bay City on a map of Michigan.
    • Leading to a knockdown, drag out brawl in the Brady Pub There’s so much fanfiction running through my mind right now

    • Another great episode. I was loving how everyone had someone to seek comfort in as they absorbed the news about John’s death, particularly Johnny/Chanel and Paul/ Andrew

      Seriously, Janel has become one of my favorite couples lately. Chanel has been such a steady hand in Johnny’s life and I’m looking forward to seeing how they’re there for each other in the aftermath of John’s death.  But I am also looking forward to seeing the next conflict for them lol especially since EJ’s shooting is still dangling out there and that Johnny is gonna start working at Titan.  Paul and Andrew were sweet too. I love how Andrew comforted him. Idk if I’d be able to get married so quickly if I was in Paul’s shoes, but I do agree with the fact that it is what John would’ve wanted. I enjoyed their scenes with Will and Carrie too, even though Will and Andrew acted like they weren’t cousins. Hopefully, we’ll get more scenes of them coming up. But yeah, I will never not believe that a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew quad is a massive missed opportunity. There are so many story possibilities for the four of them, especially now. But again, if we can’t get them all full time, I’m fine with each couple getting a happily ever after. Away from Salem and safe from Leo. Btw, Colton is really tall And, unfortunately it looks like Sami won’t be making it to John’s memorial and that really sucks. Friggin Sydney lol I was also loving Bo’s reunion with his family. They work so well together as a family and I couldn’t be happier that we’re finally getting moments like this. The three of them filling Bo in on what’s been going in Salem for all these years was nice but also a little sad, especially after Bo found out about Victor and Doug. But I wonder if Bo’s going to have any scenes with his new brother, Xander. Or how he’s gonna react to finding out about John. And, I guess it was necessary for Bo to meet Ciara’s little serial killers too.
