Part 2 of the Reunion aired tonight. Unlike most shows on Bravo, VPR ended on a high note with the Reunion episodes being gripping to watch.

The ratings also ticked upwards to the reunion, so there does still seem to be some life left in this show...it'll be interesting to see 1) if it returns and 2) how they move forward.

Raquel and James LITERALLY announcing their breakup at the reunion was pretty epic and since the season was basically all about them I can see people tuning in.  Plus Lala and Randall breaking up and all that tea.  There is enough drama for another season.   The cast is stale but I think they did just enough at the finish line to garner another year.  Although I wish they'd expand Charli's role.  She's pretty good at the reunion but she was edited down to nothing the entire season.

I cannot stand Brock.  He paid for Sheana's engagement ring on 3 credit cards but can't pay off his child support.  Nothing about him makes me think he isn't an awful human.

They were fired for all the right reasons, but the show does lack something without Stassi, Jax, and Kristen.  It just does.  And being a gal from Lake Arrowhead, CA (if you know you know on season 2) my husband worked with Stassi's mother Dana for several years lol.

WHEW the Brock of it all. I totally agree. There is really nothing about him that I like and he uses his booming voice and imposing physical presence to make up for the fact that he's dumb as a rock and oblivious to how selfish and irresponsible he's been. 

LVP is not impressed with him.

The Lala and Randall split really needs to be examined because it sounds really dark and scandalous.

Brock is so dumb and can't even mildly try to explain himself out of his child situation.  Under no circumstance is I slapped my ex because I was young is an excuse and I am respecting her by not paying my full child support.  Like what?  You are asking your girl for money for your 'fitness' business but not your kids?  It's clear he using Sheana for fame and money.  He grosses me out on so many levels and I don't exactly like Sheana but she's been stung so many times before I don't understand why she's marrying a red flag standing.

Lala should probably just get her own spinoff.  She basically did all the heavy lifting this season.  She was the only one earning her paycheck.  And she and James can just have their own show discussing the relationship woes lol

Well, I haven't started watching this season yet, but I was saddened to hear 1) it was getting little advertising from Bravo this year so word of mouth and in the news drama (Lala/Randall) was the only way people knew VPR was back and refreshed and 2) they edited out their latest set of newbies. They definitely did film with the newbies at SUR (some of who was foine) so I was saddened to hear they seem to be edited all the way out.

 

Still sounds like it was a great season and I'm looking forward to it. And I am very happy the ratings have bounced up over these last set of episodes. I just hope we need some (good) fresh blood back in. If they keep Lala, just sic Danica on her.

The season is pretty bland to be honest.  Lala does earn her check, but she's also just randomly making drama. There is a lot of James and Raquel and drama about a new bar by the Toms.   Charli was the only newbie kept and she was highly edited out.  Danica, and everyone else was cut after last season- a couple of them for racist remarks but I honestly can't remember their names.  The reunion is great though.  I probably would just recommend you watch that.

LOL. I'm too much of a completist.

 But yes, the reunion definitely sounds like it was on one this year. 

 

Oh, yes, I remember the drama that got those two cut. Sadly they lost Danica and her bf/ex. 

 

Perhaps they will film at LVP's Vegas restaurant next season, allowing for Garcelle on BH to pop in since her son works there.

I hope the answer is BOTH. Their marriage has been on shaky ground for years and frankly they never should have tied the knot in the first place but do I want to see it implode on camera and see Tom Sandoval ride in on a white horse to Schwartz's rescue? Absolutely.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April.

      How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).

      Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means.
