Married to Medicine

@TaoboiI will forever stan Kari and I’ve loved her pop ups. She was hilarious last season. It’s funny because I usually don’t like the one white girl (see: Kim Zolziac), but Kari I felt fit in and respected the other ladies. I think because she was an outsider being a Brit she didn’t have those same southern values that would “other” them. 

[Taoboi]

I agree @Chris B. Kari has never felt awkward in any of her appearances. She fits.

That’s why this franchise is special because this is a real circle and these girls are long term friends, not acquaintances. Mariah gets hell, but in terms of casting you can’t say she’s not a genius when going into the 8th season the entire original cast (except her) is there. I include Heavenly when I say original because Mariah did cast her and got her into Weight Watchers so Bravo would allow her on. 

[Taoboi]

And that shows dynamic. It's a shame some of the HW shows don't understand that.

I love Kari too, since S1 Ep1. She was a good villainess. She and Mariah were friends for some years prior to the show. After S1, they reconciled, and I always appreciated that Kari and Toya stayed friends too. I never understood why Kari was never asked back for S2 as she was so good at stirring the pot, but at S1 reunion I recall Quad sucking allllllll the attention from everyone else and it seems production made a decision to run with her and reorient the show a bit. Bet Kari knows a LOT about what happened there, which is why I'm so pleased she, Lisa Nicole and Fraud will all be back this season. Unfinished business! Too bad Mariah will be missing. 

 

I didn't realise Bravo wouldn't hire Heavenly until she lost some weight! Shocked.

First commerical (with the March 7 date) aired during RHOA tonight.

 

Looks like Simone and Jackie still has their rift.

 

Toya vs Contessa...more of it.

[Taoboi]

My system was down. Anyone watch the premiere?

[Cheap21]

The premiere like RHOA was boring. Hopefully it picks up bc this episode didnt inspire me to want to watch more

[Chris B]

This episode missed Mariah! Even with her obvious recast trying to chime in, that just made me miss her more. I noticed Kari posted she wasn’t in the premiere because she hadn’t signed on yet. I’m guessing this was meant to be the cast, but they saw how dry it was which led to Kari, Lisa Nichole and Quad returning.

And all those returns won't equate the coverage that Mariah gets for the show. Like always, this show will dip in the ratings and then they'll wanna scurry to bring Mariah back; however, they cannot do that now because of the lawsuit. I cannot wait for Mariah to emerge victorious in her lawsuit. Sending her nothing but positive energy.

[Cheap21]

Yes none of these women have the same pop that Mariah does. Even in small doses she brings so much to the show and the cast dynamic. These women are dry and Simone vs Jackie isnt a feud that can carry a season

[Antoyne]

It was an okay premiere but like you guys, it’s missing Mariah. I again have no idea why the producers dropped her again. Her dynamics with the whole cast could carry the season but nope.

Toya's financials are a SL again -- for Devilishly and Quad.
