I mean... I don't think every move is producer dictated and I am sure she did want to confront Melissa but Tre wasn't even the one who brought it up. Kim D did. Regardless Melissa was lying which is why she got tongue tied, she couldn't get together some pitiful excuse to tell as truth like she usually does.

Loved the RHOC 100 episode special.

Lots of interesting views about the history of how the show started. And I liked how the Keough and Gunvalson kids got in on the action, as they well should.

I also thought it interesting that the Housewives all said that they liked the show when it was organic and followed them, rather than created drama. The first seasons had that organic quality that has disappeared as other franchises exploded with organic drama, demanding all the other franchises follow suit.

Most of all, I loved that the usual season ending guitar music played as all the Housewives discussed what they treasure about the show in the last segment, though Vicki lost me with "This is my baby, if I hadn't taken a chance there wouldn't be a RHOC"...because that just isn't true. Jeana Keough is friends with Scott Dunlop who created it.

There were endless rumors Marysol asked to become a "Friend of the Housewives," but I read an interview where she said it was Bravo's decision. She said she filmed just as much as she did during seasons 1 & 2 and it doesn't seem like she realized this was going to happen. She said that Bravo said that it was too difficult for viewers with 7 or 8 housewives, so they narrowed it down so they can focus better on the stories. I do agree that 8 housewives was too much, but Marysol is still such a crucial part to this show. I don't like the idea of her as a Friend when she was already a part of the cast seasons one and two. Especially since it sounds like she's going to be around just as much as she always is.

It isn't hard for viewers to keep up with 7-8 housewives. That's just stupid logic, Bravo. If people can watch scripted shows with 10+ cast members then we sure as hell can keep up with seven HWs. It proved successful on RHONY s3 & 4, RHOM last year, RHOBH s3, and RHOA s4 (before they reduced Marlo to just a "friend") & s5 (before Wighead exited stage left). I personally prefer 7-8 HWs. They might as well kept Ana, Marysol, & even Karent then just readded Alexia for this season. Miami left on a good note after the reunion, but Bravo always fu*ks a good thing up beforehand.

I like Marysol's quiet, sad presence on the show and am glad that she will still feature (I assume Bravo will still use footage of her if she is filming as much as she did in Seasons 1-2). Even more than Marysol, though, I want to see Mama Elsa. Like, every week I want story involving Mama Elsa. Mama Elsa giving Lea a piece of her mind, Mama Elsa gossiping with her maid, Mama Elsa sleeping over at Marysol's freezing-cold apartment and bitching about it, Mama Elsa contacting the spirits. For me, she is as much a regular as the five currently featured. In fact, I'd even go as far as say she is RHoM's star.

Too bad about Karent. I was totally on her side in S2.

Mama Elsa is another big reason I feel we need Marysol full-time. We're still going to see Elsa, so we're going to see her personal interactions as well as her interactions with the ladies. That is basically a housewife, not a "friend." Another thing I enjoyed about Marysol were her work scenes. She may not be dramatic and loud, but she was interesting. I thought she came off as a sharp business woman and she had great style and good wit.

Was the OC special all that there was this week? No new episode?

You know they built up Vicki to be the Queen B in this special as if she's at the top and runs sh-t, similarly to how its Nene's show on ATL. Maybe in the past but I don't feel that way about Vicki anymore. I think Tamra has eclipsed her. Vicki kind of lost her status last season when her friendship with Tamra crumbled and she became the outsider. She had to make nice with Alexis of all people in order to have an ally and remain relevant within the group. It seemed as if all the women started to revolve around Tamra with everyone either wanting her friendship or approval and being ostracized if they don't have. Id definitely say Tamra is currently the Queen B of the OC, not Vicki. Her iopinion doesn't feel relevant or matter anymore

Vicki will always be the Boss Bitch IMO. Tamra has become a popular core character, but I've always found her far too unlikable to be the Queen Bee. Vicki has so many different layers and she has a family we actually get to see, plus a job. She's the ultimate housewife. I just wish Jeana was still around. The 100th episode special made me really miss Jeana and her family. Jeana also looked BEAUTIFUL on Watch What Happens Live.

Another old face I want to see again is Jo. I wonder why Andy didn't consider her for New York. They're struggling and she could add some young blood, diversity and money to the show. It looks like she has a handsome, wealthy boyfriend. She also has a good job and lives in New York.

I really don't see Vicki as a boss or breakout star like NeNe, Bethenny, Tre, or Lisa V she just happened to be the last original HW standing......

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
