Maybe Lisa can forgive? Okay, Maybe Brandi can forgive, too. A lot is said about Brandi's ability or inability to be a good friend, but Lisa surely lacks in that department as well. It's really how you handle the tougher times that speak even louder than what goes on in the good times.

Lisa's blog...

When Brandi came on to this series part-time the majority of the other women were plotting Lisa's demise. Brandi wasn't the only one without "friends." Lisa is rewriting history like she and Ken were Brandi's great protector when she came on the show. Nah. Lisa initially believed Kyle and Kim about Brandi. Brandi & Lisa got along when Lisa got to know Brandi a little better but it's not like they were that close. Brandi flirted with Ken whenever she got a chance and they laughed about it. End of story. Lisa latched on after the first reunion. What happened at that reunion? Brandi had Lisa's back against everybody there and BFF Kyle dared to speak against the Queen Bee (okay, it was more than that with Kyle - she had clearly joined with Adrienne, etc to nail Lisa BUT still).

Lisa acting like Brandi was a liability she "adopted" as a friend from the start when the aforementioned is accurate and when she was very, very happy with Brandi taking on [Lisa's] enemies [for her]? Ugh. Lisa and Ken weren't the only ones putting their neck on the line to back up a women a lot of people had problems with.

^^^ Brandi clearly isn't the only one rewriting history and coming up with some utter pitiful BS.

Re: Scheana. Lisa needs to be honest about this chit, too. She's clearly closer to Scheana then she lets on - more family friend than employee. It's her right, but don't be a yo-yo about the issue just to try to win sympathy or an argument. Own it.

Heh. Yolanda is really not here for Lisa - and in a different way that Kyle and Brandi. Yolanda DGAF what she thinks. She just enjoys seeing her dragged because she honestly thinks she deserves it.

The only ones I thought exhibited real tears and emotion for most of that reunion are Brandi and Ken. Brandi is a bit of a messy train-wreck but she keeps it real - outside of the fillers - on an emotional level.

Except for Adrienne, none of the "fired"/"retired" women are any more class-ified or money-fied than the current cast. Camille, Taylor married into money and would be classified as social climbers like quite a few of the women currently on the cast. They lost money with Adrienne but most people barely remember her name. Camille's shady-a-- was fun and they lost that but IMO they could IMO get her back if they wanted her back.

Andy has always gone hard on Lisa at the reunions. Maybe she rubbed him the wrong way early on OR maybe he just likes Kyle better. OR maybe he just likes chit stirring.

Lisa is doing nothing for BH ratings, whether or not she has enemies. Same goes for all the women. Bravo could put 6 nicely designed boiled eggs as the cast of RHOBH and get about the same ratings it does - read: RHONY, RHOOC, etc... The show will survive with about the same ratings it has without Lisa, without Brandi, without Kyle, etc... It's not like RHOBH has ever come close to challenging RHOA or RHONJ except in terms of buzz.

Interesting that you feel Yolanda isn't here for Lisa yet the only relevance Yolanda had at this reunion was everything Lisa. I know that if were Yolanduh and I truly didn't give a flying lemon pledge about someone the last thing I would do is give them and all topics of conversation about them my undying attention. I'd be daydreaming about my fridge and thinking about all the meals (guacamole) I'd be preparing for my love.

Andy goes hard on any of the women who don't answer and engage. Lisa defects. So he goes in. That's a great host IMO.

And I love how everyone is so ~outraged that he didn't give carktonandn Jouce endless time to talk and give their opinions on [!@#$%^&*] that had nothing to do with them when it's often complained about that reunions spend time on people nobody cares about, like Kim. You can't have it both ways.

RHONY:

While Aviva is messy and so is her friend, Amanda, I am NOT liking Jabberjaw Heather and Carole. Especially Heather. Heather just comes off as inorganic this season and tries to hard to be a bad a**. Why didn't she do that on Ramona last season when Ramona was verbally dragging her ass from one side of the room to the other? Heather needs to mind her business and let Carole handle it. She's a big girl. She can clearly handle Aviva. I don't expect Heather to like Aviva but do like Kristen is doing and just sit there and shut up until spoken too. Until Aviva pulls your chain, Heather, don't bark. I'm glad Amanda was coming for that ass. She's clearly working for her apple for next season and I can't even hate her grind. :P

I think the difference is that Andy was all about letting Blandi, Yolanduh, Vyle and Krypt Keeper interject in any conversation Lisa was having with any one of them yet when Joyce or Carlton would interject on any conversation they were having with Lisa he would shut them down and zip them up. Clearly he knows how in the negative these girls are compared to Lisa and I'm sure he's been warned by the higher ups to turn the viewers opinion around about most of these househags so viewers will return next year. As Joyce and Carlton are most likely out he really didn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about them and let Kim slide as respect for a vet before they give her a one way ticket to witch mountain.

OK. This season of NY seems to be the most entertaining since seasons 2 and 3 of Jill and Betheny.(I still re-watch them religiously) God bless the mother of all functioning sociopaths for giving us VIVA AVIVA! This basket case is giving the show LIFE.

Sonja, what can I say. I love her to death.

Atlanta - best season since season 3. It's completely re-freshed with Kenya taking the spotlight and becoming the grand bitch of the show. Love it.

Beverly Hills - something was very wrong this season. It was all off. Nothing worked. NOTHING. At the end it all felt so heavy and boring.

I loved Carlton's blog! Yes, she is hateful and yes she is very much a hypocrite but at least she calls most of these situations as she see's it. She likes Yolanda but even put her on blast for her part of trying to always shush her up anytime she'd speak her opinion against Kyle in regards to Lisa. I'm still on the fence if I want her back. On the one hand, she can be quite boring and her look most of the season was well below everyone else's. On the other hand, she has a really hot husband and she gets under Kyle's skin like no other!

I'm really tempted to purchase the NY season after watching the first two episodes. I can't wait to see Heather put saggy tits A-man-duh in her place! And I'm definitely team Luann. She's so beautiful!

Funky Dineva is saying Nene, Phaedra, Cynthia, and Kandi are doing a standoff. Refusing to sign their contracts until Porsha is rehired. They feel there's no way Bravo will fire all of them ESPECIALLY when the show has been hitting series highs this season and is up almost a million viewers compared to last year. That being said reps at Bravo are not getting rid of Kenya as they feel she is part of the reason the show has been so successful ratings wise this year.

Cynthia's ass needs to stop fronting. She know she needs that check!

    • You hit the nail on the head. 
    • Out of these, I hope she isn't connected to Samantha and Tyrell. I just don't see a long term story there. I hadn't thought of a connection to Leslie but now that you bring it up...what if we find out June is Haley's sister and both were abandoned and raised in foster care. June ended up on the streets and Haley ended up with the Duprees. The mother who dumped them in foster care? Leslie. If they end up making Eva a stolen child of Nicole's, it would be a good way to develop some family for Leslie to help keep her on the canvas. She could ultimately make up with her kids and then she'd have access to Bill's money/power which could help her become a long term rival for the Duprees.
    • This was a HUGE story on the show for many years. Justin (Ross's brother) and Jackie Marler were Phillip's real parents. They showed a lot of the backstory in flashback when Jackie came on the show. Jackie caught Justin in bed with another woman. She was so devastated she divorced him immediately. She found out she was pregnant. I'm a little hazy on this--I THINK she told him she had an abortion, but maybe not. Maybe she just never told him she was pregnant. Anyway, she decided to give the baby up for adoption. She went to Europe (I think it was Amsterdam) to have the baby. She had the same doctor as Elizabeth Spaulding, who also was pregnant. The doctor was a personal friend of Alan's. He told Alan that Elizabeth's baby would be born dead and she would not be able to have more children. Instead of telling his wife the truth, Alan conspired with the doctor to do a baby switch. The doctor knew Jackie was planning to give her baby up, and she agreed to let the Spauldings have Phillip. Elizabeth woke up from the surgery and was told Jackie's baby was hers. Jackie almost immediately regretted it. She insinuated herself into Alan and Elizabeth's life so she could be near Phillip. They all became good friends. When Alan and Elizabeth returned to the states, they stayed with Jackie at first. Eventually, Alan and Elizabeth divorced and Jackie married him so she could be Phillip's stepmother. It was a disatrous marriage and they also divorced.  Justin found out the truth. Justin and Jackie remarried. Elizabeth found out and wanted them to have custody of Phillip. Alan, of course, was furious but for some odd reason eventually agreed to it. (He did not know at the time Justin and Jackie were the bio parents).  Ross and Alan had kind of an up and down relationship over the years. Ross wanted to BE like Alan in the beginning. When he was married to Carrie they were actually close friends with Alan and Hope. Their relationship totally degraded when Alan was chasing Trish Lewis and she chose Ross instead. Yes, and he also did not approve of how Alan dealt with Phillip much of the time. So they never became friends again.
    • It just does not feel like Y&R anymore, even if a lot of the actors are familiar. It's just... completely lost, and I've never not felt it couldn't be turned around until now and the past few years. Stunt castings (Colleen Zenk) do not remedy the mess. At all. The focus is all wrong; there is no focus. None at all.
    • 1) Ross and Alan had a history aside from Phillip. In the early '80's Alan torpedoes Ross' campaign for DA in retribution for Trish Lewis leaving him and falling for Ross. Ross then assisted Alex in kicking Alan out of Spaulding. Then in the late '80's, Vanessa and Ross break up over her working at Spaulding with Alan, and she's briefly engaged to Alan. Then Alan shot Phillip accidently, and well....you get (part) of the picture.  Phillip trusted Ross, and their closeness really chafed at Alan. I do not think Ross really initially held Alan adopting Phillip against him. Jackie had lied to Justin and had the baby in secret.  Jackie discovered Justin had had an affair and divorced him. When she came to town, she actually ended up marrying Alan to be close to Phillip. Jackie and Justin eventually remarried and had a daughter named Sam. Jackie dies, and Justin leaves town about a year later. Justin makes a brief return, but it's mostly tied to Sam and then Phillip leaves in '91. Justin leaves town again.  Rick and Phillip patch up their friendship, although there are some other rough patches. 2) No, Rick and Fletch generally got along. But I don't recall them interacting much afterward either after the divorce. Meredith had left of her own accord, and Fletch and Rick drifted into other stories.
    • Has Sonny been a mobster since Guza? Yes, he has. Back then was he portrayed somehow as a good man, righteous? No, he was not.  Now, fly through time. Sonny has been credited with taking care of Stone & then Robin. Before you could turn around twice & shout! Sonny donated enough money to build a wing of the hospital in honor of Stone. IMO Mulcahey was on the right track. Maybe that lead to this? We may thank him yet.
    • I totally agree and that's why I wish they had played up Mary's connection to Reginald because I think Alexander had more chemistry with Considine. They never explored her backstory and just thought Mary belonged back with her family. I think a better story would be if she rejected Vince and wanted to stay with Reginald. I know we've litigated Reginald's character, but I wish they had played it that way because it would have kept the Loves and the McKinnons connected beyond just Vicky and Jake.

    • I just saw this old-ish quote from Jane Krakowski, mentioning the circus story as a worst (she said it was a ratings grab) along with the flood. She also mentioned that the reason her character was called TR is because they didn't come up with a name for her - it stood for "The Runaway." https://www.soapcentral.com/soapcentral/news/2017/0629-jane_krakowski_search_for_tomorrow.php What was TR's exit, anyway? She left before the show ended and then returned for the finale, right? Did she ever have love again after Ryder? This is John Mahoney around five minutes, right? I never knew he was on a soap.

      I sometimes wondered why Evie was recast. I get why now. I've always had a soft spot for Colleen Dion, but she is very, very green here.
    • Mary Carney was the best of the Mary recasts. I think everyone I've seen talk about the show has said this, or almost everyone. The show just gave up too quickly. I agree the story was over. I don't think the show ever developed Mary's career enough to make viewers care about that aspect. I remember reading an interview with Ilene Kristen where she talked about how much support she got from viewers with Jill and Frank (I think it was from around then). I don't know if Roger/Delia was always the plan (wasn't he interested in Mary early on?) but I sometimes think they threw that together to try to make viewers feel Delia had no moral high ground. Frank was an interesting construct as a man who looked like the ideal politician yet behaved...like a typical politician. I think that's why he mostly took off once they cast Daniel Hugh Kelly, who fit the duality.
