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.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
