Why do you think Atlanta has had a rebirth in season 6?

I've noticed that New York and BH have struggled with cast changes, yet Atlanta seems to have evened out after a shaky season 5. Let's not mention Orange County that is known for its revolving door of housewives. Why do you think Atlanta, and to lesser case, Orange County have continued to thrive and maintain?

Lisa was asked about Brandi's comments and basically said they were beneath a Housewife, disgusting, and she knows humor, that's not humor.

I wonder if some part of Lisa is relieved that Brandi has gone from targeting her to totally self-destructing.

Season 5 was the highest rated season so it is has been on a steady rise since then. I attribute it to NeNe's higher raised profile in the media as well as Kenya's antics which I've personally seen bring a lot of people who never watched to the show. Even Little Dumb Dumb's divorce got a lot of publicity in urban blogs and what not.

Also I think the show became more cohesive and organic again after Wig and Sheree left.

OC's never really had a shakeup like New York did. For years Vicki Gretchen Tamara and Alexis were the cast and ratings reflected that it was growing stale which is why I felt if OC wanted to remain relevant 2 of the 4 had to go. It will be interesting to see thecratings for them as well as New Jersey who are also getting a cast overhaul.

OC never really needed a shake up since a new housewife was added every season and one or two would depart on their own. I think the problem was that Gretchen and Alexis stayed much longer then they should have and I think the producers realized that hence why they were axed.

I also think that the producers realized how stale the show was going to be in season 8 hence why Lydia was added during filming.

Sheree really brought the hate and jealousy against NeNe. It's no surprise that the Talls vs Smalls (season 4) ceased to exist after SheBroke & Wig left. The rifts between Phaedra/Kandi vs NeNe was very minuscule.

Although ATL's best season will always be Season 3 for me, their cast shakeup from S4 to S5 was minor enough to still feel like the same show, but made the necessary changes to keep it fresh and not dwell on the same hatred again (hi, New Jersey!)

I LOVE Wendy Williams laughing at the leg!

ATL hasn't had the cast turnover of other series. For season two they swapped DeShawn for Kandi, for season 3 they added two wives, but kept Lisa as recurring throughout the season so again, no turnover. Then for season four you still had 4 original housewives, Kandi was a vet at that point and Cynthia and Phaedra were returning for their second season. Going into season five they only lost Sheree, who was given a proper send off and they successfully brought on two more wives. The other series seem to have bad luck picking new housewives and sometimes they let go too many people. Season 3 of Miami SUCKED with the reduced cast and New York is the perfect example of how NOT to transition a series.

RHoBH will def be interesting cast wise for next season. If we are to believe the reports, Carlton and Kim are out with Kyle going if she quits. That would put Lisa, Brandi, Yolanda and Hoyce returning. With Kyle they would still need at least one, without her two-three. They had a hard time casting wise this last go around (as evident by what we got...) so I wonder who they will be able to pull in.

Id love Lisa Rinna, esp if Kyle stays because they are friends and not even Vile herself could make me hate Rinna, lol.

But they do need some real money up in there. Surely they can find a woman who married a doctor or something. Id love to see an indipendently wealthy woman. I really would rather not bring anyone back, even though i think firing Taylor was a mistake.

I do think that Lisa/Brandi/Hoyce are a lock for next season.

If they could finally get Lisa Rinna to do the show that would be great, but I don't think she will. Personally, I'd rather see her acting. I want CBS to pick her up for one of their soaps. I still say for Beverly Hills it's too soon to know 100% what they will do. Obviously they want Kim out, but I think that has been the case before and they deal with her to keep Kyle. I want to HOPE that Carlton get's another chance, but I could understand if they let her go.

         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.
    • 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.
    • Hmmmmmmm... I'll have to go back and check

    • @j swift @carolineg I was looking at some scenes on YT of Shelley's take on Stephanie.. and her 2007/2008 take on Stephanie was very spirited, bold, and confident.   I often think her ordeal in 2009 when she was kidnapped and kept in the morgue by that creepy guy probably did change her.. but I don't recall the show ever focusing on the after effects of such a traumatic event. In fact... her novel/manuscript should have been loosely based on that trauma in a fictionized account.  Maybe the rest of the manuscript will involve some of that.. but I doubt Ron C would ever think to include that event in a constructive way to explain the current behaviors/motivations of Stephanie.
