how do people watch this utter drivel, what's the 'Real' bit, i had the misfortune of watching this for a few minutes during a half time football flick around. I've seen more reality on an episode of Storage Wars.
I'm sure we'll all stop watching it after reading this. ;-)
Lisa Rinna has signed on to Beverly Hills. This explains Brandi making up with Adrienne, she doesn't like to fight with more than one person at a time. It does make me confused as to where Lisa V stands in all this. She isn't really apart of the group. It's almost Kyle's group because she socialises with everyone outside of the show as well which is going to make things a lot more organic which is the recipe for a great season. I'm getting a season 1 vibe, where one main fight occurs and everyone gets dragged in to it.
If Lisa Rinna is going to be full time, I really do think that one of the main women are leaving, as with Taylor, Camille and Adrienne back, even part time, that's a lot of women.
I know it's very early days, but I reckon it's gonna be a good season of BH.
Yikes, 8 years is a long time. I feel bad for his sons. I wonder if Phaedra will stick by him, especially considering their marriage was on the rocks already. It was very telling that for his last possible week of freedom she was partying it up in Mexico without him.
The OC was really good. I cant wait for next weeks either, its all going to go off and Shannon is about to lose it. Again. Such a great addition to this cast, she's brilliant to watch. But God, I just don't see how she and her hubby are going to last. I feel for her, but I don't think either of them are very happy. He looks like he is looking for the exit half the time. Vicki, by some weird twist of fate, really has been the mature voice of reason lately- with Shannon, and also when she called out Tamra at the end. When did Vicki mature?! Heather was great this week. When Terry called her out on wanting to get a pedigree dog, but make a donation to the animal shelter instead of adopting one of theirs, was hilarious. She was not happy! You know those dogs are never being let out their little play pen, I just don't see Heather running around tripping over puppies!
Poor Lizzie really is just fading into the background isn't she? She seems nice so I hope she comes into her own. I don't mind her scenes, she just seems a bit surplus to requirements so far. She's got a gorgeous family, lovely home, and her swim line looks so nice. Certainly a whole lot better than the Gretchen Christine line
Full disclosure- I looked into buying one of Gretchen's bikinis last year before my holiday but I didn't, they didn't have the one I liked in stock. I'm glad though, I don't think I could contribute to Gretchen and her "design" ambitions! Lizzie, however, Id totally buy something from her line. I can admit that.
Ladies of London I enjoyed. Poor Annabelle, that looked like a nasty fall she took from that horse. Caroline, I love to watch. She's fantastic. I have to agree with her when Marissa and Juliet had that argument at breakfast and then both of them bursting into tears, it was like, really?! its breakfast, and you have champagne. No need for tears!
The tension between Caroline and Caprice is building, but poor Noelle stuck in the middle. Please. That girl loves it, she loves feeling like the pawn between these two. I thought Id really like Caprice, but I just cant take to her, and Noelle, I just find her so disingenuous. The shopping trip with Caroline, Juliet and Noelle was great, Noelle tries on the dress and Caroline's "You look much more elegant than you usually do" She's fun to watch.
So, Apollo is going to jail. Well, that was expected. I'm just waiting for Phaedra to announce that they are getting divorced. There is no way those two are together. They look like they barely tolerate each other. It was pretty clear at the Atlanta reunion that Phaedra was over it!
Yikes, 8 years is a long time. I feel bad for his sons. I wonder if Phaedra will stick by him, especially considering their marriage was on the rocks already. It was very telling that for his last possible week of freedom she was partying it up in Mexico without him.
Exactly. Telling, is not the word! They have 2 gorgeous little boys though so you have to feel bad for them that their Dad wont be around.

It's relatively short considering what he could have been sentenced to so he must have done a lot of snitching to get it down to 8 years.
Phaedra didn't go to the sentencing and, as you say, she was partying in Mexico a few days ago. I wouldn't be surprised to hear a divorce announcement any day now.
Apollo gets to self surrender to prison in the next 3-6 weeks... He's probably dumb enough to try and make a run for it in that time.
I actually hope there is a second season of Ladies Of London the show has its teething problems but I think if they improves some things it can work. they need to tone down on the whole bashing Americans as i think thats what has dented the show and turned of viewers. Caroline is becoming a a favourite of mine in terms of great reality TV bitches Juliette is perfect for TV to as she is just out there in peoples faces and i do find her funny. Caprice just annoys me I liked her at first but an turned of her now.
New York...well I'm going to be honest this season has really let me down the holidays were crap, the 'fights' started of good then just fizzled or just went on for so long and sometimes seemed staged i.e the Kristen and Heather in Montana. Next week we see Luann crying so maybe its her split with Jac? Didn't they split towards the end of filming.
Im just waiting for the finale to see how Avivas leg lands by itself Im really hoping she goes berserk and just rips it off and says something like 'Do you believe me now!!!'

I think the same, she's gonna lose it and say 'Bet ya think i'm lying about my fake leg too' and across the room it will go.
New York has been a mixed bag for me too, some good, some bad. I'm just ready for it to end as i'm really looking forward to NJ starting again, now that looks reeeaally good.
Has Teresa and Joe's sentancing been pushed back? Wasn't it supposed to be the same day as Apollo? Its been over a year since they were charged does it usually take this long in the US?

It was recently pushed to September I think. It happened around the time his Father died but was apparently not related to that.
Adrienne wanted to take down Lisa at the S2 reunion she asked all the women to join her including Brandi but refused. So she did want to take her down and lets not forget how she lied about how Paul beat her and her kids and got her chef to sell stories about Brandi.
Well no.... let's actually tell the truth here.
Adrienne did not ask anyone to join her in 'taking Lisa down'. All the other women had no clue about this supposed take down meeting and even Brandi herself admitted that she had never spoken to Adrienne about this. That this all came from another women.
Just like Adrienne was told by someone else that Lisa sells stories.
And unless you are privy to something we're not we have no clue about the truth regarding Adrienne and Paul's marriage and divorce. We know there have been accusations of abuse on both sides (Paul's side was the first to throw this out) and that any accusations were unfounded in court. Just like accusations Lisa made to the police about Cedric... is she too a 'liar'?
And did she get ``Bernie to 'sell stories"? Maybe, maybe not. Bernie seems no more of a media **** or as outspoken about others on the show than many of the other women's friends. Did Lisa fire Cedric for slagging off the other women? Was he 'selling stories for Lisa'? Has Lisa fired her staff for speaking to the press about the other women? Was Kyle expected to dump Faye Resnick for having an opinion?

So New Jersey's back! It doesn't feel like that long ago that we were watching Teresa roll her eyes at Caroline referring to herself in the third person, Rich Wakile making a disgusting sex joke about Kathy or Joe Gorga making a remark about his ''poison''.
But Season 6 premiered last night and Jacqueline and the Manzo's seem like a very distant memory. In a way it's sad because the Manzo/Laurita family were a big part of the show from the very beginning and now they're gone to Bravo heaven... or hell, depending on how you look at it.
Of course, the main story is about the impending doom that's careering its way to the Guidice family home. I love Teresa - she's very watchable and entertaining on this show but I absolutely loathe how she and the show itself is portraying this entire thing. Are we really meant to feel any sympathy for her or Joe when we know they are guilty? Is Teresa really clutching at straws that she is going to complain about not having money for her daughter's college funds because it's all going on lawyers fees? I just wish someone would have the balls to tell her that she brought this all upon herself. It seems she's surrounded by Yes men who will say ''there, there'' and pat her on the head. Obviously the main angle they are trying with this is with how much this will affect their children. Gia cried twice in this episode! I seriously want these children off the show and away from the cameras. It just reeks of exploitation. Their own parents seem to be exploiting them for sympathy in the eyes of the law and viewers - and Bravo just love it for the drama and ratings.
Moving on to the Gorga household where Melissa and Joe seem rather redundant now the family feud storyline has been nipped in the bud. Teresa is their only storyline. But hey, nothing makes warring in-laws kiss and make up like a TV producer telling them how boring it has all become! We learn that Melissa has been invited to a party of an old friend called Amber. They were friends in their 20s apparently. Wouldn't she know all this dirt on Melissa from back in the day?
Amber is a cancer survivor and insists Melissa knew all about the diagnosis. There's something about a mysterious Facebook message that disappeared but the end result is Melissa's pissed! She's being accused of something she didn't do! We all wanted this show to go back to the light and fluffy pettiness that was funny and OTT dramatic at the same time - but the first sign of new Housewife drama is related to cancer... Hmm...
Amber seems nice. She blames her husband for making their young daughter cry over a giant dead pig. Maybe it was her OTT reaction to seeing the pig that set the daughter off? Anyway, Amber went to college apparently. Wait, a New Jersey housewife with an education?! Seriously? ... ''Etiquettecy''???!? Nevermind.
Then we meet the twins - ''Ter-EH-sa'' and Nicole. Yet more sex talk. Why do all these juiced up, leathery Italian-Americans talk about meatballs and sex all day? This show is full of cliches! Then we meet the bald-headed man who runs a restaurant in Little Italy. He's like a cartoon!
So Dina's back. She's probably not the most interesting person on this show but I feel this is leading to a Danielle return at some point so she can stay. Dina's separated from a man who cheated on her throughout her marriage. She always knew it but stayed. Jeez, have some pride. She doesn't want to file for divorce because she hasn't got a new man in her life yet. Jeez, have some pride. The word ''zen'' is said approximately 28 times throughout.
I am fairly new to this thread and at the moment only watch the real housewives series on ITV2. Does anyone know about any new series of any of the franchises shown on ITV2 coming up because at the moment I think they are repeating Atlanta and New Jersey at the moment so am hoping for a new series soon. Anyone have any ideas what might be coming up?
I cant tell you how excited I am to sit down and watch New Jersey! Anyone know why there were no titles?? Is it wrong that I was really looking forward to the updated intro and seeing the new taglines?! Hope they are on next week.
Anyways, ill give my thoughts on the ep when I've watched it, but I think BumbleSquat has done a great job summing it up.
I'm really looking forward to the Married to Medicine Reunion as well. I live for Miss Quad, she is fabulous to watch. I'm intrigued to see what will happen with Mariah as she really doesn't seem to have a friend among them now! I know the ratings aren't great without RHOA, but I hope we get a Season 3.
I know the finale was last week, but was anyone else watching Kandi's Wedding? I loved it. I loved her Coming to America theme, and I thought the venue looked fab when it all came together, she even had real Lions outside though I know she got a bit of grief for that. Kandi looked gorgeous in her dress, and how grown up is her little girl?! It was lovely. I loved her trying to walk in her heels for the first time! I loved that they brought Todd's daughter, and Riley up on the altar as well at one point. It was a lovely moment. Mama Joyce was such a misery as per, I swear I wouldn't have wanted her at the wedding, and I really didn't like that she was literally ignoring Todd's daughter, there's just no need to be so utterly rude. I'm glad she said a little speech at the end though, I know she wasn't happy, it was written all over her face, but at least fake it! Its your daughters wedding.
How great was it to see Sheree?!, even briefly, it made me want her back on RHOA immediately! I really hope that happens. Kenya and Sheree teaming up, or falling out would be epic!
Really Enjoyed NJ but we didnt see the new titles I was looking forward to seeing the new tag lines to. Already this show feels like a new show i am so glad caroline and Jac are not in this season so far i like both the twins and Amber I think they are going to create some good fresh drama. Dina Im still a fan of and to me i think she actually is as genuine as she makes out and I lover seeing her with her animals and i agree with bumble squat i think we will see Daniele back next season for sure i mean there showdown went unfinished and if Teresa has to leave then bringing her back will fill that gap imo and have you seen her tweets?! She is literally begging to come back now.
This episode was emotional and seeing Joes dad was what did it for me and what he said But i will say though I dont believe that the Teresa, Joe and Melissa feud is finished I think its just for the cameras as they couldn't of had another season with them feuding.

Hi, I think most here watch it online US time but there is a UK thread somewhere which might be more use to you. I watch on UK time but am too lazy to move to another thread, I've loitered here for so long that I've got used to the time warp!

Each to their own, I guess.

No. She'll probably throw shade that her baby's father isn't in prison and is "clean" or that their babies daddies are sharing a cell!
