I taped the Season 2 Atlanta marathon they had on the other day and looking back I have to agree with something you said when you said Kandi was the best addition to any Housewives franchise ever. You are right. Looking at it now that I am hip to the game of reality tv and have seen more of these women's personalities I feel like a fool for not liking her back then!

Lisa would be a big loss, like nene or theresa, but the show could and would go on without her. It's why one person should never be made the star of these shows. ATL is in great place to move on easily without nene. BH isn't in a great place but could still do it without Lisa.

As for her maybe leaving, bye Felicia! Hopefully it wouldn't out her on the wonderful VPR any more than she is.

But she will be back. Both new wives were a total flop and all the women will get a pay increase because of it. I predict all 5 other women will be back, sadly. And joined by Mohammed's new wife and another new wife.

I only asked bc there is going to be a REAL Real Housewives of London, so that could end up getting confusing. Anyways, I have both RHOC and LOL (LOL) on my queue. Not sure which to watch first. Was RHOC boring like last week?

Rhoc -

Another boring episode. Vicki in the mid west? Tamras contrived ryan testosterone story? Shannon in general? Do. Not. Care. Not at all.

Lizzie/Heather's play date was cute. I loved how when Lizzie's kid was having a melt down heather just told her to take her time cuz all moms have been there. Ya know if it were Vicki or Tamra they'd be judging what an awful mother Lizzie is. Also, Casey's cupcakes are so overrated.

Christmas in California looks so weird on tv.

Lizzie and her sister were really cute.

Heather and Shannon - lord. Shannon is just a bitch. Period. She's in with Vicki and Tamra and wants drama so she aimed for Heather IMO. She just comes off very fake. Heather really is just educated and sophisticated and these basic OC wives don't understand her. That's really what it is IMO. I liked how heather owned her overreaction to the chair. Shannon's issue is heather telling her where to sit yet she and Vicki told her where to sit.

I sued with heather here because I think we have all been there before. It's not really jealousy, IMO, but when your friend goes out of their way to hangout with your other friends and exclude you it raises a flag. I do think Shannon has done that. I think she's great at it. I do see where Shannon is coming from tho with one more dig etc but I don't think that's heathers intention.

Good day LA is HUGE for heather. And I can't wait for heather to call Tamra out!

I was nodding off during Kandi's spinoff. In all honesty, I was extremely tired, but I wasn't too impressed to stay awake.

I agree that ATL is in a strong enough position to survive without NeNe, but Beverly Hills desperately needs their Queen Bee Lisa to stay afloat. Nobody wants to see Ellen Barkin Brandi cleaning up dog poop in an empty run-down house.

No but I do want to see her drinking and hanging out with her girlfriends and Yolanda and her lemon tree farm and oddly enough even Kyle and her basicness. I wouldn't mind a Lisa return but I'm solid without it. Kim can go but I'll take her over those awful additions last season.

The difference between BH and ATL is that Bh doesn't have anyone likeable besides Lisa. Take her away and it's a cast of bitter awful harpies. She brings a sense of light humor and comfort in her scenes to help balance this out. She had not turned into the negative draining vortex that Nene has become. Take Nene from ATL and it think there are still likeable and rootable women. Phaedra is the worse when it comes to being bitter and nasty (and Porsha soiled her image at the reunion) but the rest are still pretty much fun and interesting enough on their own

Obviously this is my own opinion but I can't with a season of just Kyle, Kim, Brandi and Yolanda. Any new women would really have to impress me to have to deal with that miserable lot

its deserved and Kandi had great lead in to this with this last season of ATL setting it up

I had to roll my eyes at the preview that said "this season on..." Season? Isn't this just 3 episodes?

    • 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.
