I haven't bothered with any of the spin-offs. They just don't sound appealing to me.

I have just been watching old clips on Youtube and I came across the one where Taylor had a bit of a meltdown and said to Lisa "if you cant be my friend, please don't be my enemy" and did anyone else think it was so odd how Camille got so angry?

Im not really keen on Spin off's either.

Anyway some BH News looks like a new cast member is on the who is joining S4:

http://www.allabouttrh.com/puerto-ri...season-4-cast/

and on NJ News Teresa looks set to have her own show:

http://www.allabouttrh.com/is-teresa...n-development/

But It wont be a show about her family cause she has said in the past she doesnt want her family on the show, rumours are saying it could even be a cooking show which i think would good and different.

Also i have been reading the comments on that article and alot of people are saying that Andy Cohen hates Teresa and doesnt want Tre having her own show and some more comments say Andy hates NeNe to and he hates how Tre and NeNe are the breakout stars of there shows.

I knew Andy has become obvious with who he does and does not like but i thought he was cool with NeNe?

NJ starts tomorrow Cant wait!
These are apparently the new intro lines:

Kathy: If you cant take the heat, get out of my kitchen
Melissa: Sexy life, loyal wife, take a page from my book
Caroline: Love me or hate me, I always speak the truth
Jac: I've faced my share of challenges, but I'm tougher than I look
Teresa: Haters are gonna hate, but i just love, love, love

Thoughts?

I was hoping to know by now what ITV2 are going to show next, however my V+ is telling me that Friday it's a special with the ladies hairdressers talking about them. I wish they'd just show the next series, whatever one that may be!

The hairstylist show was part of season 5 so I think it means they're definitely showing S5 of Atlanta, which they'll start properly the week after next Looking forward to the S4 reunion next week, looks set to be a good one

I would take what you read on there with a HUUUGGGGEEE pinch of salt. Half of the posters on that site sound mentally ill.
In fairness though, I do get the impression that Andy is not a big fan of Teresa, but everytime he and Nene are together, they always seem to get along really well.

I agree. Some of them are crazy.

That's a bit obvious. I don't think he ever got over the fact she manhandled him at the season 2 reunion. lol. I don't think he likes anyone from New Jersey.

I always thought Nene was Atlanta's Bethenny. Hence her 'pillow talk' comment at the reunion.

I've read Andy hates Teresa because she makes excuses for Joe Guidice. It seems after every reunion she has to apologise for some sort of homophobic comment.

I've also heard Andy actually loves Caroline and the Manzos though. Possibly because they are very gay friendly. I feel Andy also likes Rosie too.

I a not a massive Joe Guidice fan but I honestly don't think he is homophobic. He talks like a lot of guys do and most of it seems to be banter.

I agree that Andy likes Caroline though, you could tell watching the WWHL NJ special how much he favoured her to Teresa.

You're in luck. Series 5 starts airing on Monday 10th June, but for the previous Thursday and Friday there are two specials. The one they do with the hairdressers is a bitchfest worth watching, not sure about the other. I think it's a potted version of Kim's wedding to Kroy.

There's a 3 part reunion next Monday to Wednesday and while they dont have the utter hilarity of the first reunion of S5 ( Best reunion EVER) they are pretty entertaining.

Thanks for the info tally. RE:BIB I was going to give the 2 specials a miss as after seeing the TV info I thought they might contain too much "padding" and be a bit meh, but will have a look at the hairdressers one. I will still miss the Troy/Kkm one though as I think a full programme about their luuurve would be a bit much for me.

So basically, if I'm not interested in the reunions nor in the 2 specials, I can just skip the whole next week on ITV2?

The more i watch of the promo interviews with the NJ cast its seems to me that they are keeping alot back and not giving away to much info i hope they are keeping it hidden and its not a case of 'there aint really much drama to be seen this season.

Im hoping the trailer is only a small amount of what is to come because at the end of the day we want to see the arguments, the fallouts and sometimes a cat fight

Im still holding out for a Danielle return towards the end of S5

I'd love to see square t!ts back, even if it's just for a cameo.

it would just be great TV, You either loved or hated Danielle but she sure did bring the drama and because she had no family ties to the rest she did not give a crap.

Andy has denied she is in S5 but im hoping he is just throwing us.

It's only a few hours until my faves, New Jersey!
I'm 90% sure Danielle will at least make an appearance after this:New Jersey Preview

I can't wait! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The preview for NJ season 5 misses a lot out.. look at the season 4 preview! It misses a lot out too.

I love a reunion and I'll def watch the hairdresser one now, not sure I'll bother with the Kim and Kroy one.


Yup, but reunions are always worth a watch imo.

Just watched the Season 5 premiere of New Joisey! It would seem, if judging by this episode, that the tables have turned and Melissa will be the new target this year. Out of everyone she probably came off looking the worst.

The ladies have been rocked by Hurricane Sandy but I love how Teresa has decided to donate her blinged up high heels to charity shops! It's a nice gesture but I'm not quite sure going out to clubs in sparkly stilettos is high on the priority list for people who need charitable donations.

I love, love, love Rosie. There was something so hilarious about that scene with Kathy in which she was telling the story about meeting a woman from an internet dating site and she wasn't exactly up to her standards. Rosie ain't no oil painting herself!

This was a very Milania-heavy episode. She played a big part in the storyline and in moving it forward. Melissa's daughter Antonia has written Milania a little letter saying she misses her. The scene where Milania asks Teresa about her cousin seemed slightly staged (especially judging by Teresa's reaction) but nonetheless I found the whole situation quite sad. Milania's actually forgetting her cousins' name because they haven't been around each other in such a long time. As for Gia - don't get me started! I'm not sure if she's been heavily influenced by her father or that's just her teenage sulky, cynical attitude already kicking in. I just found her out of line for almost telling Milania she wasn't invited to Antonia's birthday party - and then immediately running to Joe Guidice to scoff the entire letter scenario. Joe Guidice later calling Melissa ''horsey face'' on the phone to Milania as she was going to meet them was another eye rolling moment.

Jacqueline wasn't quite so involved in this episode. We saw her sitting with her son who has been diagnosed with autism and then later sitting with Caroline, discussing Joe and Melissa. As for Caroline, her attitude seems more upbeat and fresh now. She clearly took the criticism of Season 4 on-board - but please, please, please, DON'T get involved with the Gorga/Guidice feud. It really is not your place Caroline.

It was a good episode. Lots of awkward, tense moments and a good sprinkle of comedy from Milania and Lesbian Rosie (that's how I'm going to refer to her from now on ). I find New Jersey is the most genuine. These women aren't just tied together for a TV show, they are bound together by blood and that's more believable. Plus, it's the first of the Housewives shows I really got into so I feel sort of invested in it. It's the Daddy for me.

Great review Bumblesquat
I enjoyed this episode, much more than Season 4. I read somewhere that Kathy has husband troubles ( he repulses me so go Kathy) and her and Rosie are much more prominent this Season. That's fine with me, I can take heaps more Rosie.
I could strangle Juicy. What a moron. He just knows how to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It was sad that Milania and Antonia had to deal with the family feud. Not seeing each other for a year and a half is a lifetime at that age. I agree, there was a lot more negativity edited into Melissa's actions. Tre came out looking much more willing to forgive. Even to changing the christening date ( or whatever it was- first communion?) I thought Gia came out of it all OK. She's just being an adolescent with her first crush, and of course, everything your parents say is worthy of an eyeroll because they know nothing. Ah the joys of adolescent girlhood. Gotta love it!

Hurricane Sandy certainly made an impact. Though the poor victims who lost everything, can comfort themselves as they wear their designer shoes and sparkly dresses courtesy of Tre's generosity, while they clear the mess or go round to the food bank. Priceless!

The Season previews look pretty volatile, but Caroline, for once in your judgmental life, stay out of the Guidice feud. Last thing they need is your help.

Looking forward to seeing how this all plans out.

That one episode of NJ was far more entertaining than every season 8 episode of OC put together so far!

Couldn't agree more. I have to agree with what Nene Leakes said about the OC franchise on watch what happens live. Basically saying she thinks they should recast the entire thing (apart from maybe Vicki) because it is just so boring.

Tamra is just a hate filled bitch with no redeeming features.
Vicki is a self involved hypocrite and selfish to the core.
Heather is cold and abrupt and thinks she's 1000 times better than everyone, including her husband!
Gretchen has to be one of the most irritatingly stupid people on television. What an air head.
Alexis is just a hot mess. The whole "Jesus loves me" act doesn't wash with me. Jesus doesn't give a flying f**k about you love, especially when you're using his name to justify your bad behaviour and sense of entitlement.

Actually watching the OC has made me appreciate the New Jersey girls all the more.

I love New Jersey. They are the top dogs in terms of drama and entertainment for me.

I liked the first NJ episode and I've nothing to add on to whats been said already.


The OC looks like it's about to pick up a bit. I think OC should have been cut down to 10/12 episodes. 18+ is far too long for the lack of drama they bring.

Tamra wasn't a cold evil bitch again. I'm not buying her nice act completely though. Her and Eddie are not a legit couple. She looked like a deer caught in headlights when she was asked to answer questions about him. I liked her and Vicki having fun at the end - more so because Gretchen was left in the limo.

Gretchen irritates the life out of me. I can't wait for her and Vicki to get into it though. Slade just turns my stomach, he's vile. She took a page out of Tamra's book this week, she clearly realised she was about to get the boot so amped up the insults in the interviews to be the new mean girl.

Heather was just kind of..there, this episode. She never brought much. You could see the rage in her face when she had been left in the limo though.

Lydia is sweet. I'm liking her and her quirkiness. She seems a lot of fun. She finally got Tamra & Alexis to talk it out so hopefully we can all move on now.

Vicki is hilarious with her whoopin' it up comments. She's almost 50 and she's out partying like a 20 year old. Lauri had something to say about her this week which I'm not sure whether I believe, Lauri just want's another 15 minutes...and a cheque because she's skint. I can't wait for Vicki to give it to Gretchen.

Alexis was a sweetheart but the boycott goes on. She didn't get invited to the trip. Her meeting with Tamra was nice, she was clearly very relieved and wanted to get past it desperately.

All in all it was an ok episode. Next weeks looks like it all kicks off and I can't wait...it's about time!

Really enjoyed the return of the New Jersey ladies. Agree with tally, I ejoyed that first ep more than most of season 4!

Everyone has done a fab job of recapping the ep, so I wont add much- BumbleSquat is right, I think Melissa is definately going to be in the firing line this season, and Im loving the hint of tension to come between her and Caroline. That should be interesting to say the least

Im also feeling this less biased version of Caroline, although I dont doubt for a minute that its all just damage control against the absolute (and deserved) mauling she took last season. But she needs to keep her beak OUT of the Gorga/Giudice trainwreck. They absolutely do no need her "help"

Poor Kathy seems like such a spare part on this show, but I really like her and Rosie so Im happy to watch them on the show.

Juicy is an idiot as usual, but Im so glad Tre is back on my screen, donating her sequined dresses and high heels to the victims of Hurricane Sandy! and how Ive missed Vocabularly by Teresa, she was informing us she was glad she wasnt in her shore house when Sandy hit, otherwise she might have "drownded" Oh Tre, dont ever, ever change!

Roll on the rest of the season.

Also agree with everyone that watching NJ really does show how completely uninspiring The OC has been so far this season, its just so blah :yawn: Im finding it so hard to engage with any of it thus far, and as for Tamra's upcoming wedding spin-off?! No thank you! Tamra is no Nene, or even Kim for that matter!

NeNe's screeching at the reunion is making me want to rip my ears off.

I think NeNe makes some really good points at reunions putting people in their place and not being afraid to speak up good for Miss Leakes
