If she was fired or quit is truly just how you see it because I think the moment she told life and style she used a surrogate after have her lawyers force bravo to edit it and nearly any mention to it out, she was done for. They were never going to invite her back after that - and she knew it. So she didn't go to the reunion and says she quit, basically just to do it before she could be humiliated further by being fired. I'd say it was mutual that she wasnt returning. It just wasnt a decided at the same time through conversations mutual decision.

Reality shows don't ruin marriages. I think VH said it best. A reality show is not the place for people in sham marriages. Not her words, but the sentiment is the same. Taylor's husband didn't begin to beat her when she got on the show, he always beat her. Camille? Kelsey got her the show to distract her so he could have affairs (he said as much). Kordell? The show has opened old haunts, and Porsha didn't want to quit. Adrienne and Paul? Who believed that was a happy marriage? A acted as if Paul repulsed her. Nene and Greg didn't have a solid marriage to start and you can't blame reality when they are back together.

Can't comment on the other shows because I don't watch them.

You better preach And! Plus, I think a ton of people can say that. But I'm sorry, is he working for one of the networks as a football analyst? My moms aid that he was when we were discussing it but I don't recall seeing him. Now I must do some research.

I was chatting with a friend and decided that people like Gretchen, Tamra, Nene, Kim Z, Kyle, Brandi are perfect wives for this series because they know what to do. They know wha producers want what fans want and thy are able to sell it without it coming off as fake. Thoughts?

Actually, I think Lisa is the true master at knowing what fans want. She is quite perfect. She has the glamor, but she always makes sure to point out that she has a work ethic. She has a great sense of humor. She's also very quick to point out her insecurity (not really the right word, since I think Lisa is very confident) around Camille and Brandi's physical perfection. I think she has done a very good job of putting herself as much on the side of this show's target audience as she possibly could given her own wealth and beauty. She's really the whole package, imo.

Nene is great with the humor, but she also shows vulnerability.

I guess Kim Z sort of hits the Honey Boo Boo part of the audience. Some people love trashy. I see Kim Z as very smart. I think she knew exactly how she portrayed herself. She's the anti-Lisa in many ways. She went out of her way to shove her conspicuous consumption in people's faces, but she managed to be entertaining.

Brandi, I haven't seen enough of her yet. I'm just starting season 3 of BH. I think she is so beautiful, that it's probably very difficult for large sections of the female audience to relate to her. Still, being publicly humiliated by EC makes her more sympathetic. I may envy her perfect ass, but how could I not sympathize with her when she ran into the waitress that was screwing her husband at Lisa's party? Kyle and Kim also made me feel for Brandi when they ganged up on her and made her tear up during game night. They did her a favor there, imo.

I'm going to have to add Kenya to my list of favorites. I think she's got a really good personality. Her "fabulous" video was genius. Then you add her issues with being an unmarried woman in her 40's who wants children and her breast cancer scare, all these issues are good reality TV, imo. I'm not entirely sure how much acting Kenya is doing, but I always like watching her.

Juliajms, have you gotten to Season 3 of Atlanta yet? I was up and randomly watched 2 episodes from that season. I really loved it. NeNe and Wig were friends, Wig saying Phaedra's baby was an alien, Cynthia's friendship contract.Sheree saying she was ready for film after having a few lines in a rundown chitlin' circuit play "The Child Support Man" :lol: It was all light hearted fun and drama. This really is my favorite season.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
