Oh I don't think Lisa's position at Bravo has changed...Vanderpump Rules is performing well, Andy always encourages drama with her at the reunions (to see how she crushes people with a single sentence and flick of her bejewelled hand, I think), and the "Lisa Gets the 'Bitch Edit' Campaign" has been going on since the beginning of last season and it just doesn't work because Lisa has the audience behind her. I think the breaking point with Lisa/Yolanda/Brandi is going to be ugly and messy, but I don't think it's really going to diminish my opinion of Lisa or Yolanda.

the only thing that's changed is Kyle has gotten a very bland edit. I wouldn't say it's friendly or 'nice'...it's bland, she hasn't given the editors anything to use against her, and that's smart (a la Camille) but that act can only go on for so long, and then she'll crack and be back to the loathsome cow she has proven herself to be for years.

I don't think her position at bravo has changed. But bravo doesn't make these shows. Nor do they edit them. They do have some influence, but all of the shows on bravo are made by different various production company's. Lisa didn't get a bitch edit last season - she just was more outspoken than she had been before. She's not getting one this season... Yet. I'm really interested in seeing how they play out the rest of the season with edits of everyone, Lisa specifically though. Something changed between seasons. I would say kyle is getting a good edit. She's like s1 Kyle before everyone hated her in s2. Kim is getting a ton of focus. Joyce is being edited well. Yolanda is fine but just sort of there. These tend to reflect kyles personal feelings on most of them IMO. She's always been involved bts more than anyone and is a main factor for the show even happening. With the rumors dream team break and Brandi/Kyle friendship, it's interesting. Lisa, while not getting a bad edit because she doesn't give them anything bad really, I don't think comes off as genuine or funny as she ha in previous seasons. I do think it's funny lisa is trying to befriend Joyce and Kyle doing the same with Brandi. Joyce clearly came in team kyle. It's also interesting to me that carlton is basically pointless and Kyle hates her.

Basically, a lot of the edits seem to match up with how Kyle feels.

It's also saying how bad this season is that I'm far more interested in edits and production than on screen.

Right, but the same team that produces RHOBH produces Vanderpump Rules with Lisa and Ken, so it isn't as if Lisa's working with her enemies, they have a symbiotic relationship between them, they need each other to keep the shows going.

I see what you're saying re: Kyle's attitude seemingly directing coverage...and if that's the case, then someone better act quickly because it has been a bad season, very disappointing in terms of production value, casting and storylines.

I am still stunned at how much useless filler featuring Kim there has been this season. Half a season's storyline...about a dumb dog.

I think Kim's story is just desperation to keep her as part of the cast. SHE should be a "Friend" not people like Marysol or LuAnn who are still appearing heavily on their respective shows.

I think Carole's reunion performance is because she foolishly didn't know how they would go. She though it was a recap ala Watch What Happens Live and seemed shocked by the notes LuAnn and others had and how "left field" some of the complaints were. I think she'll be ready next year.

I'm now almost done with London on RHONY S5 and I have to say that Ramona is a star so far. I see why she's the one who lasted. She is HILARIOUS and not mean spirited so even when she gets crazy it's watchable. From episode one despite all the faults she is delivering. I can't wait to see Ramona as the "voice of reason" as the other wives are saying.

I don't know how to find season 2 Atlanta episodes (with my ISP I really can't do torrents [ I know there are proxies, I just don't want to risk it]), although if anyone knows when Bravo is having another marathon, I'll watch that.

Anyway, I was watching some clips on Hulu, and I saw some woman named Tania, who seemed to have quite a bit to do. Apparently she was supposed to have a larger role but that didn't happen because Kordell didn't let her show the kids. Is that true?

During the scene where Sheree is showing Tania her new designs, I could have sworn they were flirting, although that is just sort of Sheree, I guess, and I'd just watched a clip where she denied being a lesbian.

It's a shame Sheree is no longer around to bring Tania around during all the drama with Porsha and Kordell. I really wish Bravo would put these shows on Hulu or Netflix. So many other reality shows are, but they are so difficult to find. Not only that, but they stopped releasing them on DVD so its not easy to find them.

    • Maybe Carney and Levin didn't get along, but he got along with Tolan. Who knows. I SO agree about Tolan. I am sure my jaw hit the floor when I watched her first scene. She had been hyped like crazy by the soap mags. They swore she was going to be a sensation like Mulgrew. I thought she had a speech impediment. I think more likely she just couldn't remember her lines so she ended up slurring them from nervousness. Not everyone can do soap acting, it's very difficult. There's memorizing so many lines, then there's so little rehearsal. I think she was a theater actor. Maybe she was a good one. But when the camera was fixed on her, she just...sucked. I had nothing particular against Nicolette Goulet. She just wasn't Mary. She had no chemistry with Levin. She didn't even look like she belonged in that family (a similar situation when they replaced Sarah Felder with that blond chick who was laughable as a police rookie). I don't believe it was impossible to recast the role. Kathleen Turner was doing soaps during this era. She would have been a phenomenal Mary. (Not to say that she would have been available, but just to point out there were good actors of that type around).
    • Bill Bell dusted off Jennifer Brooks death 13 years later on B&B with Caroline death.
    • Yay for Luxembourg and Greece!

         And I must say that Latvia's song is oddly magnetic. I think it deserves a place in the final. I would much rather have seen Australia and Serbia in the final than Lithuania and Malta though.   ETA: Malta, Israel, Armenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Austria, Greece, Luxembourg, Denmark and Finland qualified for the final. Australia, Serbia, Czechia, Georgia, Ireland and Montenegro eliminated.
    • Grant Aleksander is a charismatic performer, but I never liked Philip very much. I thought he was a sanctimonious ass at times and also too intense for me. I do think they had a great opportunity for his 2009 return story at showing a man who had come back from the brink and wanted to reclaim his life. If the show had continued, I am curious to see what they would have done. The show's biggest mistake with the Spauldings was keeping Alan much too long instead of having Philip take his place as head of the family. Ron Raines was the luckiest man in daytime to last for 15 years. Alan should have died in the early '00s at the latest, during the Philip/Olivia saga.
    • Too soon to make any judgments about nuTed, but I will say that I think they should've gone older.  And I also saw some chemistry between Bill and Leslie as well lol but Bill's part in Ted and Leslie's affair/Bill and Ted's friendship needed to be established a lot sooner than when the reveal happened. Their relationship could be a really good counterpoint to the Duprees.   But I really liked the parallel that was drawn between Kat and Chelsea, and what their father's did. I like their relationship and I hope they go on to investigate Laura's accident. I just hope it doesn't come until something happens between Eva and Tomas.  Btw, Happy Birthday, Eva! A lot of birthdays today

    • I love you He’s definitely not for me. He comes across very meek. Trisha is going to eat this man alive in scenes.  Excellent scenes! Her damn nicknames be tearing me the hell up
    • Stephanie also was raped in college and killed her rapist along with the help of Chelsea.  It was an accident, but that's something the show has only touched on once or twice since AK took over the role. Very good point!
    • Robinson is less imposing than Johnson was and that makes the character seem completely different. If anything he came off as someone who could have played Doug. 
    • Exactly. That's a fertile ground, where a lot of drama could be mined from. That's a great idea. Especially since her kidnapping was a part of the Dimera/Kiriakis war at the time. Not only could it cause conflict between Stephanie and Alex/the Kiriakises, it could also be tied to both families trying to buy the hospital, and how that would make the hospital look, since these villainous families both want to own it.
