I just caught up on the OC --- now THAT was a fun episode. Damn, I'm so surprised that Lauri is spilling all this dirt. They glossed over the finer details of what Vicki did to Lauri, but it obviously pissed her off so much that she is determined to bring out the dirt. I wonder if Bravo reached out to her since the Alexis/Heather's friend thing was so mis-managed... or if Lauri came to Bravo.

If it's all true, which I have no reason to believe Lauri is lying, then Vicki is suuuuch a dirty hypocrite. But I still love my Vicki - she's just pure comedy to me.

I think this reunion ought to be dynamite with Lauri vs. Vicki - and I wonder what Brianna has to say about all this.

Lauri was housewives gold so it kinda makes me sad seeing what a hater she is now. I wish they could've brought Lauri and Jeana back full-time and have them more like friends with Vicki. My ideal OC cast would be Vicki, Lauri, Jeana, Tamra, Heather and Lydia. I think Lydia has done well and Alexis and Gretchen have done all they can do for this show. Bringing back those old wives would mix things up nicely IMO.

Eh, apples and oranges IMO. I mean the fact that she's returning I don't really care about and playing a certain level of crazy to try and keep a spot... I don't think I'd call that smart. I mean if she could do all of that AND still ball then maybe but she seems like she's stupid as hell with money as recent reports suggest so I'll be interested to see where she films and she's most definitely expendable... at this moment for Bravo, possibly not but down the line absolutely - she's not Nene levels of smart. But we shall see.

I've heard numerous things. I've heard they are friends and I've heard they are back at each other's throats because TrailerSue Trampra mocked Gretchen singing. IMO, these two are going at b/c they both want the same thing: a wedding spinoff. IMO, neither one deserves one b/c they don't bring in the ratings of RHOA & RHONJ nor do they bring in the attention of RHOBH. I pray that they get rid of these two, even Gretchen is the lesser of the two evils, get rid of Vicki now too, chunk the deuces to Alexis, keep Pleather and Rocky (from Bullwinkle) and start from scratch. This show needs a major retool as Queen Linnethia said. Hell, they should let her do the casting. Nene has cast/referred some of the most controversial and entertaining HWs in the franchise (i.e. Kim & Sheree regardless how we feel about them).

I read somewhere that Andy C has been trying to get Lauri to come back since season 6, but that she didn't want to come back due to the changing nature of the show. She did agree to come back for guest stints in season 8 to test the waters.

I bet she agreed to come for visits after the whole Vicki thing occured off camera.. imho

The RH franchise turning nasty is something we've been seeing for years and it's only getting worse, it will be the death of the shows, you can be guaranteed of that. We've seen it kill RHOV, it will happen to all these shows if there isn't a turnaround.

IMO, the last show(s) standing will be RHOA & RHOBH. That's because RHOA is the lightest, most comical show. Their fights tends to be hilarious and not as malicious. RHOBH tends to have the perfect blend of light & dark moments. Now the other shows. . . .

I think New Jersey will cancel itself out this season if they don't clean up their mess. NYC is on its last legs now. The jury is still out on Miami but I think their upcoming season might be the one to watch. OC needs a bullet put in it . . . at least on their current cast.

I can see that happening. Do you think they'll ever add more cities to the RH franchise/lineup?

I know there have been talks forever about Dallas and that might be interesting and I'm trying to think what other cities in the US would be interesting or semi-interesting for the show. They seem to have tackled most of the hot spots... idk anyone in Philly who is that hot or I wouldn't mind one based there as well.

I think OC and ATL will be the ones that last. Beverly Hills has never consistently been great in the ratings and the negatively brought their ratings down for most of season 3. New Jersey's premiere ratings proved that they should've done a reboot. It's the same ole dynamic over and over again. Nothing changes.

NJ premiere ratings were great. 2.8 million vi ewers is good for them and better than all recent premieres except Atlanta.

None of these shows are going anywhere until rati ng s nosedive. Nothing on Bravo gets the ratings and attention of the housewives and they market these shows overseas. I really don't think Andy cares if they get dark or not.

They do need to shake things up in NJ but the ratings don't lie.. I will keep watching as long as my Teresa is on there.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
