This. Its supposed to be The REAL Housewives of Atlanta. Not the Wannabe Hollywood Actresses of Atlanta. if everything we saw of Kenya last year was completely and totally made up then that just makes even worse cuz it means the real her isn't even that interesting to begin with. I mean think about it. The best she could do was start ish with Phaedra of all people. Was that then too made up and just acting on her part or was she truly mad at Phaedra?

Its just too annoying and frankly a waste of my time trying to figure her out. She had some great lines and was good for comedic relief but like others have said you can't blame the rest of the wives if they don't take her seriously at all. Especially if she's just pretending and acting. For all Sheree's ridiculousness and frontin you at least knew that Sheree actually believed all the nonsense she was spouting and that that was her true personality. With Kenya I felt like I was just watching a trainwreck just waiting to occur and explode on everyone...

I'm not referring to the housewife part....I'm talking about the realness part. I'm long past caring if they're truly married or not. While it would be a plus if these girls were actually married its not my main concern. I just want to see real people on my screen who are having real conversations/interactions. If they're entertaining I'll continue to watch. But if they're over the top and furthermore i know that they're just acting then it ceases to be fun...at least for me. Does that make a little bit more sense?

I get that but its just a title; not meant to be taken literally. Kenya doesn't keep it real 100%, but so what? She's entertaining and the only talking point from this past season. Besides she isn't the only one as Phakedra is phony as hell and Ive grown tired of her schtick. Without Kenya, there really wouldn't have been much of a show. Nene was MIA for most of the season and Kim made an early exit. Phaedra and Porsha would have had no storyline. I really don't think Cynthia's modeling agency and Kandi moving in with Todd could have carried the season

Makes sense to me. What annoys me is when the drama is so obviously manufactured that it can't even be hidden. Like Jersey's S4 finale with that dumb secret that "something was going to go down" at the Posche fashion show and the big "Melissa was a stripper" reveal. Who even CARES if she was, firstly, and secondly, the dude who made the reveal, complete with a Bravo microphone hooked up to him, was SO staged.

Jersey just shows to me that you have to make cast changes in order to create new story that looks as least semi-organic and real; New cast members meet, some hit it off while some clash. The same people year after year gets old, their stories have been played out, so the plot twists look sillier than Melrose Place circa season 6.

The idea to shelf a couple cities and introduce new cities/series might be a good idea. For now, people still love the Housewives brand.

Of the main long-running franchises, I expect Bravo to give up on NYC first because it hasn't been a buzz worthy show since season 3. Perhaps they'd bring on a whole new cast after some time off and promote it as a completely new show. Manhattan Mommies? :)

Nope. I wish they would. IMO, I think it's time that Bravo would do an international franchise . . . The Real Housewives of London. Now that city has some REAL women married to/from old money.

Oh I agree that none of these shows are going anywhere till a ratings nosedive but again I see NYC & OC getting the boot first if Bravo was to drop another franchise. I would only add New Jersey to this if they DON'T lighten up this season. People all over the net have expressed that they aren't down to see another dark season of New Jersey. I think the women realize that too, hence why they are all making up with each other because if not, Bravo will keep Teresa & Caroline and give the other three the boot. Teresa probably doesn't care but the other four I'm sure want to keep their spot and the only way to do so is to keep Terrorsa happy.

they are probably hesitant to go international bc of the distance. They cant make regular appearances on WWHL or do as much promoting on American tv via the talk shows which the other ladies do. Andy would probably have less executive control and contact, etc... Besides I still think theres several cities in the US that need to be done and Dallas is at the top of that list.

IMO, I don't want them touch Dallas seeing as the Big Rich franchise did Dallas (tongue.png @ did Dallas a la Debbie Does Dallas). I want them to do Seattle or Detroit.

And I think that they could go an international one like London. Most of them women (if they pick really wealthy women that are known for jet-setting) are probably use to traveling (or even have a home in U.S.) on a regular basis.

In Beverly Hills Housewives news, is the newest housewife getting flack from the other women? Jealous much?

Very true Cheap, but hell just come to the states for a week or so or Andy can travel abroad and just do WWHL a for a week abroad. I'd kill to do either if you give me notice in advance when to be there because I know its a lengthy flight from the states to someplace like London.

    • @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.
