DaytimeFan, ITA with all! I've always liked Kyle in spite of my usual better judgment, but right off the bat this season she is coming across as so petty. She's whining about the kinda junk and playing victim that only the New Jersey housewives do to stir up story.

With your guys' talk about their blogs, I had to check them out. I liked how Yolanda sounded supportive of Lisa and defended her, even though we know trouble lies ahead. Meanwhile, Lisa hints on her blog that something is coming around the corner by saying the "hindsight is 20/20" comment.

Although I would've loved a full season of Queen Lisa, Duchess Yolanda, and Princess Brandi, the downfall of their triumvirate shall be interesting.

I wish we at least had "friend-of" statuses with Camille and Taylor, just for glimmers of the first 2 seasons.

I completely didnt even remember her till I read her name online, but I forgot that Marissa was in this. Such a shame bc I liked what she brought to the table. She should have been bumped up to housewife

Faye totally should have been at Kyle's event!

I know y'all are gonna hate on this but...

I'm kinda over her. I actually think that Kyle has very valid points about Lisa and obviously something makes Brandi AND Yolanda turn. Like if it was one or the other I'd be questioning sides but with both, idk. Lisa has always been kinda bitchy but it was with humor and it was funny but so far this season it is... Extra. Sure you can say kyle is being redic for the younger woman, petting and hair. Moments. But were any of them needed? Were they really friendly? The cheating rumor comment was fine but like idk. I just get what Kyle is saying and I think Lisa is the type that needs a new pet to play with and when she gets board she finds a new one. See Cedric to the series to Brandi to apparently now schena. And Yolanda is spot on about questioning why Lisa would become friendly and so involved in this girls life who slept with the husband of one her Bestfriends. That said I don't think Lisa is the big bad evil woman. At all. She's very fun and entertaining but I just don't think she's anywhere near innocent. She gives as much if not more than she gets. I do wonder if the little bit of attention has gone to her head. Vanderpump Rules makes me see her in a different way too, and not a good one.

And if she doesn't get her way she should quit. Of the franchises, RHOBH is the only one that I've watched where I've only really loved one housewife and that's Queen Lisa. To me, she makes the show. Her lifestyle book was a success, Vanderpump Rules (while not everyone's cup of tea) is a success, her restaurants are successful and she and Ken have legitimate wealth. The other women clearly hate her because she has everything they don't...so if she goes, good for her, I'll be going with her.

Kyle has nothing to say that's valid in my eyes. Nothing. She is a bitch and a liar and someone who isn't comfortable with living in reality and needs to keep up a front at all times.

Had she been an adult, last year she would have let her friendship with Lisa go, instead of desperately trying to stay relevant, even as Lisa said the relationship had changed and it was over. But no, Kyle continues to chuck other people under the bus (like Yolanda) in order to be "friends" with Lisa, even as she talks trash behind Lisa's back.

Lisa has been upfront from day one, she spelled it out to Kyle that the relationship had changed. And sure, her humour is deprecating and bitchy, she's British, that's how they roll, she isn't unique that way at all. And she's not pretended to be some sweet little thing. She is who she is. If Kyle doesn't like it as much as she claims, she needs to get a set of nails and crucify herself. The victim routine makes me sick.

I checked my DVR last night and they are airing Part 2 of the Miami reunion on Thursday. Isn't that sort of insulting? They don't have any other lead in or premiere that night... they're letting it die out on an obscure night. Not a good sign! They could at least let it finish after Atlanta the next Sunday, since that's when it always gets the highest ratings (last season and this season).

But besides ATL & NJ, BH is the other HW show that is a media darling. The other three are lucky if they get some publicity other than reality show sites. NY used to get publicity up until the point Jill, who use to bring in the most media coverage of the women in that franchise regardless how you feel, was fired. Same with Gretchen on the O.C. Getting rid both ladies practically hinders the shows even more.

The fact that RHOC does as well as it does with little promo would make it more valuable to me, if I were Bravo. I'm pretty sure they probably aren't as high paid or high maintenance as other cites and viewers seem to take to new wives well on that show. It's just a well oiled machine that keeps going.

Finally caught up with Miami. That was terribly boring. If Bravo decides to give the show a FOURTH chance, I say keep Lea and dump everyone else. I'm not here for Alexia or Adriana, Lisa is insufferable and Joanna should be moved to RHOBH. Over it.

    • 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.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
