You mean the show lost 600,000 viewers or thats how many viewers they got? If that's how many viewers they got it's kinda shocking. I will say, Bravo needs to step up promotion. THey dropped it completely when the Russell thing happened which I think hurt them badly. Once the promo is back in order (and Watch What Happened Live returns!!) I'm sure it'll be okay. The show is brilliant this year!

Cowgirl Kim was killing me. I'm living for her this season. She was so obviously on something the past episode and I was so shocekd that nobody mentioned it. You could see individual looks on peoples faces, but nobody acknowledged it with each other lol. I was shocked to see Paul mention it the next episode.

And then episode 4 we have Brandi's arrival! So much happening so soon.

Also, what do yall think of the rumor that Michaele Salahi has been kidnapped? They make it extremely hard for us to believe. Especially since in this case Michaele contacted police and said that she was fine, just having family problems (presumably with Tareq). If it's another stunt, this is the lowest of low.

Well those ratings are typical Beverly Hills numbers. It makes me sick that people go on and on about how big the show is, but it's ratings were never blockbuster, thats why everyone was shocked with the premiere ratings. It was lower rated than DC (which got cancelled...) until the last few episodes when it started building as the show got more exiciting. It's ratings then were on par with New York, but not the huge ratings of ATL or Jersey.

Another reason I wish DC was given another chance. It was a good show that would've been easy to revamp without Michaele and it's ratings were good.

Here's the problem with NJ: not one of those women is great, I don't like any of them...

Kathy: skeevy husband drama queen

Melissa: spoiled dumbass drama queen

Teresa: trashy bitch drama queen

Jacqueline: whiner, terrible mother drama queen

Caroline: full of herself and boring drama queen

Beverly Hills was great this week, all the ladies, sans Lisa, continue to sink lower. Loving crazy ass Kim.Taylor's a sicko and seriously manipulative. Adrienne's lost all her coolness, common sense and sense of humor. Kyle's mentally deficient.

RE: BH: IA they need to start promoting the show again. I happened to watch the premiere live only because I was channel surfing and it caught me by surprise. It's like they're scared to promote it in light of Rusell's death with the family claiming the show's responsible. I hope with all the rumored re-editing they did they didn't hurt what would have been a very entertaining season.

It's amazing when Taylor can cries there are never any tears.

Lisa's diva ski outfit was a hoot. It was funny the way they were making fun of her. Love it when she told Taylor Ken was entitled to have his opinion at a dinner party when Taylor said no one asked his opinion. The only time Taylor dares to cop an attitude with Lisa is when Kyle is around to back her up. She's such a phony.

I actually feel sorry for Paul. Adrienne is such a nagging bitch. I wouldn't be surprised if he's cheating on her.

It's oddly random and hilarious that she ran away with the guitarist from Journey.

NJ: Frankly, the show could focus only on Theresa and I'd be satisfied. Stuff does not happen without her. The rest are filler. With Jacqueline probably leaving after filming for S4 ends, I'd love for a new HW to come on-- unrelated to the Manzo's/Laurita/Giudice/Gorga clans.

BH: I'll admit to a morbid desire to watch Taylor's story play out... but now, it's sooooo uncomfortable to see it onscreen. Part of me wants her to be completely edited out and focus on the other 5 girls, possibly bumping Brandi to full HW status. The other part of me... is desperate for next Monday to come to see Taylor's breakdown.

I have heard people talking about how Tere is upset with bravo at how she is coming off this season and claiming they turned her into the bad guy to glorify Melissa and is threatening not to return, but bravo doesnt care because they know she needs the money and will return.

Hopefully 'insiders' start to leak this info more because this sounds juicy, and true. Mel was clearly brought in to be the villian, and won all the women over and made Tere look like the selfish, annoying, whinny, bitch she is when in the past she was more entertaining about it and Danielle was taking all the heat.

Bev Hills is just dull so far.

I disagree (and I hate when I have to with jp!). I am really enjoying RHOBH thus far. Lisa is my fave, her observations are hilarious, Camille is great, I love-to-hate Kayle and Kim is a hot tranny mess and having a ball while doing so. I thought I was the only one who figured she was high as a kite when she got to the airport... while her "cold" the next day was actually a hangover of some kind. I hope she can confront it this season. And next episode looks very interesting (if uncomfortable viewing).

dont get me wrong, its entertianing - well the girls are, more so on their own than in a group - but for as much as they have been forced together as a group i expect a lot more. i hope the whole season doesnt center on all the girls getting together for a party or dinner. i like them one on one, etc as well.

I like that the fireworks seem to be starting at the beginning. It shows how versatile the season will be. I also wonder how things will change once Brandi arrives. She'll first appear in episode 4, but I thought it was later initially. I wonder if she got bumped up an episode or two due to the Taylor stuff.

They lost just over 600,000. The season premiere episode had 2.183 million viewers; the second episode had 1.555 million viewers. Ouch!

You're so right - DC was beating BH for awhile last year... but then BH broke away and ended with average NY/OC numbers. DC ended with higher numbers though, and I always thought they should have been given another chance. I was so pissed when it got cancelled, yet Miami gets another season? Pregnant in Heels gets another season?? That show had 700-800 million less viewers than DC had per episode. I think Andy just didn't want the risk of doing another high-profile DC episode. I just can't think of any other reason? Bravo got in such hot water the first time bc of the WH crashers that they high-tailed it out of DC.

    • 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.
