With regards to if Nene leaves Atlanta the ratings will be affected, I disagree. BK, (before Kenya), I would have agreed, however Season 5 was all about her craziness and she totally reinvented the show. As much as I love Nene, her popularity has dipped since she became so successful.
Off topic, I have started to watch Married To Medicine, which is not as good as HW, but still pretty entertaining.
The only reason I think the ratings will take a hit is that, besides Nene being a 'big name', is that Kenya may get old and irritating fast. I'm not sure she can pull off the Krazy Kenya stuff for more than 1 or 2 more seasons before it turns people off.

Marrie to Medicine - I watched a clip of it on youtube and thought it was a comedy, piss take thing? It was the one where two of them were fighting. Is it an actual reality show?

No, Married To Medicine is a new reality show from Bravo. Another one set in Atlanta and the ladies don't disappoint. Think the big fight is episode 3 or 4 and they really go for it Mob Wives stylee.
It's not great but definite worth a watch. Some real LOL moments so far.

Totally. I am halfway through season 2 now and they are ridiculous. It is a so bad it's good show for me, as they are so gangsta. Makes New Jersey Housewives look like kids tv.

So i have watched 4 episodes of Miami Season 2..... and its got me hooked I skipped the rest of that disaster which was S1. I think they got the casting right this time round, glad they kept the 3 originals as they were the entertaining ones and the new cast is great.

Loved yesterday's episode on ITV with poor, deluded Sheree failing to appreciate that, in court,- appearances matter. Seriously, an Hermes bag, a Dolce and Gabana outfit, a new Porsche! Sheree, you're pleading poverty here. Turn up like your ex who looked like a hobo.
Phaedra in sparkling form.

No matter what I think of Kim, her babies are adorable. It's what I watch "Don't Be Tardy" for.

Her appearing in court like that was a stupid move and an even more stupid move to have a show your being paid alot of money for at the time to film it, she should of kept in private.

Been reading on the RH fan sites that Kim might come back for Season 6! Cause her show will not come back for a 3rd season due to poor ratings and Bravo contracted 2 seasons of Dont be Tardy BEFORE she even quit. If that rumour is true i dont know if having her back will be good or bad? Or maybe she will just be a friend of the wives and maybe producers will test the waters to see if viewers actually want her back.

Bad point - We have new additions now Porcha and Kenya, and do we really want to have kim Back ? Kenya i think will be the star once again on Season 6, and we will have Porcha's drama to.

Good point - Kim and NeNe are now on talking terms so it could be good to see how they will both act on S6, i mean i personally do miss Kim and NeNe together because they were a great duo for TV. I did despise Kim up until Season 3 i dont what it was but i just started to like her.

RHOA-Sheree and Peter deserve each other they’re so similar. Pheadra’s smart and ended her arrangement with Sheree. Pheadra is not Kandi and isn’t going to be used for free. Sheree said that she was going to sack Pheadra, couldn't see that happening. Sheree is a user. She would have used Pheadra to try to get discounts and Pheadra could see it coming a mile away.

Peter to Cynthia at her Agency opening party “I didn’t do anything this is one hundred percent you I had nothing to do with it'

Yes Peter, that’s why it’s a success.

Kim “I heard Marlo dates wealthy men for money so they can buy her nice things….who does that?”

Kim could give Marlo some tips, if the rumours are true Marlo's re-living Kim' Big Poppa phase.

Kandi VS Marlo- Marlo stirring? Trying to get at Kim? Why accuse Kandi of “Paying” guys to be with her. Pheadra is right about Peter. He can’t handle Cynthia’s success. When he had the club He treated Cynthia like a PA. She worked at the club when she had the time. She asked Peter to do one thing, to help with the invitations and he wouldn't do it. Cynthia could have anyone, Leon, Russell Simmons, she could have run off with the guy that kissed her hand on the beach in Miami….Cynthia could have anyone else, and she settles for Peter, a bitter tramp in a tucked in shirt who has an ego but no money. To disappear without telling Cynthia when she was going to thank him was so rude. Not much Nene in this episode.

Anyone else been watching the new season of Orange County? It's such a snooze fest. As much as I love Vicki and Alexis, I want the entire cast replaced next season. Anyway Lauri's back next week so it could get better.

I'm struggling to see what future Kenya has on the show. She faked her man, she fake her 'producer' job, she has no family... she real seems to have nothing other than her rivalries with the other women.

She's had a spat with Cynthia and Porsha now has her own place and storyline on the show. I also got the feeling that the reason Phaedra didn't bring up the Apollo stuff was because she didn't want to give Kenya more storyline involving their rivalry to grab on to, I can't see her wanting to entertain it anymore.

To be honest the only place for her to go is a Nene rivalry.

I doubt Kim is that powerful a figure in tv land to land such a contract.

Kim might have had to sign a contract locking her into two seasons, there is no way in hell the show would be locked in to having to give her two season.

Well, no one wants to watch them running around like scruffs. We watch for the glamorous lives they lead. No reality show is complete reality.

Filming for 8-12 hours a day can be emotionally and physically draining, more so when the cast dislike each other and there's arguments - and that's before you think of the crazy fans and haters that religiously give them hate and send death threats to them and their families. It's not as simple as standing in front of a camera and going about your life. Also, anyone that needs to film with the likes of Kenya should be awarded danger money cause that chick is all kinds of crazy and, to quote brandi, would 'cut a bitch'.
They should come and do my job, then they'd know emotionally and physically draining! We'll just have to agree to disagree I'm afraid!
I'm just catching up with Atlanta now, I'm going to miss Kim next season (is it next season she goes?) but at least I have the fabulous Phaedra still here. Love her!

Agree with everything you've said. Can't believe this is the same show I watched and hated last year, it's so good.

I know I tried watching S1 4 episodes in and i just hated it the cast was all over the place.

Bravo have it spot on this season it gives me faith back in Bravo and shows it takes another season to truly find a great cast S1 of these RH shows either go brilliant like ATL or go like Miami did.

I like sober Joanna. Drunk Joanna is a pain in the ass. Plus she's so horrible to her sister who seems lovely. I liked Karent at the beginning then she annoyed me because she was in denial about her cheating boyfriend.Yes, Adrianna punched Joanna then they scratched each other and Adrianna went for broom.

I can't wait for the next season of Miami, I really grew to love it. I don't want Lea back though, she's so irritating and mean. She needs to leave poor Marysol alone, Marysol's a little lamb.

We definitely will. She's still in Season 5 for 5 episodes or something but it's a relief when she goes and this is coming from someone who likes her but it's plainly obvious she just doesn't want to be there with them.

I thought that when I saw todays episode, when she said to Kroy 'this is why we don't go out' or something along those lines.
That Milo is a bit annoying!

Blimey! This has to stop. I agree with you 100%

There was an article in Reality Tea by Tamra saying she's paid a lot of money to be so bitchy, but I'm for dumping them all except for Vicky. Like Jill is NY, Vicky is the OC for me. I'm so over the blondes and Heather.

Keep the newbie ( cant even remember her name and I've just watched it!) because I haven't formed an opinion on her yet.

I cant tell you how much more I'm loving Atlanta second time around. It may be trash TV at it's finest, but it's entertaining trash TV.

I agree. She'll probably go on the hunt for a new man or go all toaster oven on us. I would love a Nene/Kenya rivalry because I'm not sure Kenya would back down like the others have done previously. I don't think Nene would go there with her though.

I thought that when I saw todays episode, when she said to Kroy 'this is why we don't go out' or something along those lines.

She gets worse. Her whole thing during season 5 is calling to make excuses or leaving early and even when she is there she makes it blatantly obvious to them all she doesn't want to be. It's interesting seeing Nene's face when Kim leaves, she looked very sad and like she knew that was it and there would be no more Kim.

Blimey! This has to stop. I agree with you 100%

I know. lol.

Yeah, there was one on AllAboutTRH.com with her saying she'd never leave. Well, I'm off to polish Andy's boot for when it goes to her. She drags the show down. Heather and Gretchen(ew) should go. And it should be written into any future housewives contracts that they can't date or associate with Slimey.

I agree with you Vicki is the OC. However, I don't think she can deal with the show's drama anymore. She looks ill when she's around the women, except Alexis and Heather. I hate to say it but maybe it's time for her to bow out. Or maybe take a season out/be a friend then come back for Season 10.

I like Lydia, she's hysterical and sweet but I don't think she'll bring much in terms of drama. Well, mind you apparently she gets into it with Gretchen later in the season so, if true, welcome aboard I say!

It's a shame this was only season 8 and not 9 because for next season they could have ditched the cast (minus Vicki) and they could try get all the original cast members on board. I think that'd be interesting. I would love for Jeana to come back.

Bravo is going to air a 2-hour documentary to celebrate OC's upcoming 100th episode next month! It'll feature interviews with housewives of the OC past and present as well as Andy Cohen. It'll go into depth of how the show spawned franchises and became a reality TV juggernaut over the world.

Another Salary Story on what the HW all earn... This one just sound ridiculous:

http://allthingsrh.com/how-much-mone...t-is-shocking/

They are saying that all of the New Jersey cast are on the same pay.. .$600k there is NO WAY Kathy is on the same pay as Teresa just no way! I think all 3 originals earn $600K and the Melissa maybe $300k and Kathy either the same or something like $250k if even that lol.

Totally agree also, Vicki is OC and just cannot be axed.
Ditch the horrible b#tch that is Tamra, her lapdog Gretchen and snooty Heather. I never thought I would say this, but keep Alexis!
I agree with another poster, Jeana would be GREAT for a comeback; she rle didn't care how she looked

Think she was joking about herself....RHOA-Kroy getting Kim gun training, why...what is he trying to protect her from...wild hunting packs of Big poppas in the woods? Cynthia and Pheadra's lunch date went well, Peter wants Apollo's life. A rich wife that will pay for everything. Nene and Pizza owner John-how can his team take Nene seriously......I don't think John takes her seriously.

Kandi and Pheadra at dance class, at least Kandi unlike Kim admits she can't really dance. Marlo's past, maybe they'll be a Pheadra VS Marlo on the trip. Before Marlo could say "Mugshot" Pheadra would have her maced and Tasered. Kandi's night out, Joyce has finally recovered from Ridiculous, but Kim and Nene have both moved on, they can't be bothered to be friends.
