But this is Crazy!Kelly. Could you really see them leaving this out? She is such a bizarre person that I have no doubt she'll give them material worth using. Plus unlike Jill, her return to Watch What Happens Live went well. And since you mention Marlo, they were PUNK BITCHES for leaving her on the cutting room floor for season 5! They knew people wanted to see Marlo, hence why they announced I Dream of Nene with MARLO as the Co-Star, hence why they promoted her return for season 6 on BravoTV.com, yet they didn't do shyt for Lexis, Malorie, etc. They know people live for Marlo and that she makes good tv.

Now I want to re-watch I Dream of Nene: Starring Marlo Hampton so I can re-live her punking Diana "Ross: Dress For Less" Gowins ass out.

Yeah, Kelly's returning for one episode in a scene with LuAnn. I'm cool with that. It's nice that a former castmate will appear. But I'm guessing it won't be a big deal like when they promoted Dina's return to New Jersey. It'll be more like a Lisa Wu in the background or one of the many OC'ers.

It's awkward how these ladies' real-life traumas help build momentum for a TV show. I think they should keep Ramona/Mario scenes in tact as originally planned. It makes it all the more interesting to watch to see the cracks in their relationship and to view the overall fakeness and the putting on of a show for the sake of the cameras.

But it was political for dumping Marlo. I think was got her back to Bravo is that they knew Nene needed a Co-Star for her spin-off and when that went well Andy decided to let her back in his good graces. With Kelly she doesn't have the same baggage as Marlo with the "faggot" comment.

I won't lie! I KNOW there is hyperbole when I mention Marlo. I know she's not as popular as we like to think she is, but there is no denying when she appears people ARE interested enough that she should at least be a housewife. She was the main topic of discussion the ENTIRE time I Dream of Nene was airing. When season 4 aired, despite her background people seemed to respond to her and then when she returned for season 6 she was trending on Twitter despite not even having any significant scenes or moments. In my opinion that speaks to popularity and I feel Bravo and Carlos King know that. It's anybody's guess how far they take it, but I think it would be a smart move to have Marlo as a castmate for LONG TERM planning. Nene is going to leave someday and you can't depend on Kenya and Kenya alone to stir things up. Also, Marlo has become friends with Kandi and Kenya and at least for Kenya that gives her one housewife who WANTS to film with her. That's important because Kenya will burn out if the other ladies keep blacklisting her.

In other RH news, looks like Joanna is campaigning for a spot on BH. Doesn't look like it will work for her, but I hope Bravo eventually approves

And here's another RH mash up

We know they tried to get Cat from DC on New York (which I think would've been fabulous), so I don't see why they wouldn't put Joanna on Beverly Hills since that show NEEDS a spark and she's willing to do it. I would go for it. Do a cast with Joyce, Lisa, Joanna, Kyle, Brandi, Kim and one new housewife. Since Lea and Joanna are friends, Lea could be a Friend of the Housewives since she also has a house in LA. That could solve the lack of "Friends" that the show has. On the other hand, Lea said not to read into the fact that Miami hasn't started filming yet and that the show hasn't been canceled.

Adrienne's boy toy is hot in that picture!

I just don't think I like Joanna... she can be vile and is not endearing at all. I love Lisa and Lea though - hope they film one more season of Miami just as a swansong.

Again, for BH, they need to go back to their roots and cast some really lavish, rich older bitches.

    • I think Krista is too hot or her. I think the current actress works bc she comes across so basic. Thats not a dig but she feels very normal and relatable as an average suburban woman. I think if Krista was in the role, Id want more out of her but I dont think Jan is meant for bigger things

    • The sad thing about SC being a great actor is that his character has never worked. Ever. And yes if I don't know what Liam is about and just focus on acting... I can appreciate him. But as soon as I connect him to Liam... I cringe.  Maybe SC should run till he is still young and find himself a role where he can shine. 
    • As I've said before I don't believe the fact that both sisters have cheating husbands (one in the past, one more recently) is a coincidence or anything random. It's pre-thought and pre-planned and the message is clear. Cheaters can be found in all shapes, forms and sizes. Some do it in the most blatant way, they are known serial cheaters and their wives know of their past hook ups (as Dani has already said... she was willing to forgive Bill for his previous mistresses... till Hayley came) and some are more masterfully disguised in the image of the perfect husband. The fact that Dani was jealous of her sister Nicole's happy marriage in the first episodes was not a coincidence. I knew it the first second I heard it. It made me wonder and think what is beneath Nicole and Ted's picture perfect life. The show painted two very different sisters and then gave them the same crisis. It was intentional and dramatically focused on how these women acted after that... How they kept or did not keep their dignity. The contrasts and the similarities are not random. They connected the two stories very well. Telling us that beyond the gates there are secrets... lies and betrayals. And sometimes the happiest ones have the biggest skeletons in their closets. Is all of this a cliche? A soap opera serial cliche? Yes. Does it still work? Yes. And did we need to start with something that is more universal and easier to stomach by the mass audience? Yes. This is only the beginning of the show in terms of stories and themes. We will have years ahead of us to explore different aspects of these people. The first couple of months it had to be a classic sex and betrayal story that makes more people hooked. It's universal. Again. Nothing so far about both husbands being cheaters is coincidental for me. It's too early for that.
    • Thanks, these are great! Joanne Curtis, another soap character punished for having an abortion

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . Tricia Mann Grant is 90s early 2000s quality FINE. As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
    • And that area of the DMV has a high-end glamorous casino the MGM National Harbor. 
    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?
