I haven't had a lot of time to comment recently.
NJ is boring and all the life and excitement is drained out of it. Orange County I am loving though, it has really picked up over the past weeks. If this season had been a shorter one it could have been all killer with no filler and seen great ratings. OC have put out a casting call and they want someone with a successful business already. Heather mentioned it in her blog so I reckon she's leaving, I can't see Gretchen coming back and I love Alexis but she isn't willing to engage in any drama so I think she'll be out. Lydia, I honestly don't know but I do like her. I want another season with heather and Tamra because they will turn on one another if they are kept and it will be amazing viewing because fancy pants won't back down. If OC keeps on this path of just the petty dramas I can see it picking up the BH viewers that dropped off because BH got ugly. The preview of next weeks with vicki going off on one looks hilarious, I love it when vicki blows her lid. |

Ratings for NJ are lower it aint surprising people are bored of this same old storyline, do we even care if they make up now? Im happy for Tre cause it sounds like she has made up with Joe but Melissa is still talking smack about her in her blogs and tweets.
A Cast shake up is needed for S6 of NJ if they want that franchise to keep going. |

By those estimations - Atlanta, Beverly Hills, New York and Miami will be on the air at the same time!

A Cast shake up is needed for S6 of NJ if they want that franchise to keep going. S6 will definitely have a new cast with 2 wives kept on. They probably would have done it for this season has there already been a resolution last season. After all, how annoying if after seasons of the storyline we didn't see them make up. I think ladies of London which will undoubtedly be called The Real Housewives of London will be ready to air about spring time. Also, has Atlanta actually started filming or have the cast just signed on? I thought I read somewhere that the cast started filming in August which would mean they would finish in December or January and the season would be ready to air around April/may. It would also keep it one season behind New York which it should be. |

Bravo better save one of those for next spring & summer - they only have OC and New Jersey for the summer months. They should either move New York or Miami to the spring, so the shows are spread out more equally throughout the year.
I think they should cut down the episodes in general - who needs 20 episodes + 2-3 reunions + 1 'Secrets Revealed' special? I think a housewives season should be about 18 episodes (reunions + 'Secrets Revealed' included), but they should just launch one more franchise - so there can be shorter seasons but more different locations. Hopefully Ladies of London is coming soon. ![]() I agree. I actually think 16+ 2 reunions + 1 secrets revealed is sufficient for the popular shows. Less popular ones could even do with a smaller run of 12-14 episodes + 2 reunions + 1 secrets revealed. Speaking of reunions, New York needs to really step up their game for them because theirs, the last one especially, are boring as hell. Does anyone watch Big Rich Texas? They need to have The Real Housewives of Dallas and get 6 Pams on the couch, that would be hilarious! |

) and the city is amazing. It would be a great location for a Housewives show I think. I'm in total agreement about NJ. I'm so over it, they need to hurry up and make up, and wrap up the season cos I just don't care anymore. Its just more of the same that's been going on since season 3 I do like Tre, and she is probably what keeps me watching- but the rest I just don't care. The cast needs a major clear out, keep Tre and get rid of them all next season I say. Id even be willing to watch more of Kim D , anything besides Melissa/Tre and Caroline sticking her oar in everywhere. I'm wondering if the family really have made up, I hope so, but I cant see it lasting with Melissa's blogs about Tre, they are vicious! OC I'm really enjoying it more and more as the season gets into gear. Gretchen just needs to go. I cant stand her, and I'm thrilled that her and Tamra seem to be on the outs They shouldn't be friends, its not right! Got to agree with Andrew Id keep Heather around for another season, I can see her and Tamra getting into it eventually, and I think that would be great to watch! I'm wondering about NY, now that they are actually filming, when will it air? I don't think Atlanta is filming yet, so maybe they will put NY in Atlanta's slot? That usually starts around September time doesn't it. But I don't know. They have Miami starting in Aug (which I'm SO excited for) and then season 4 of BH to air aswell, so could it be the beginning of next year before we see NY again. Not to mention the fact we still have the rest of NJ to play out, and we are only 5 eps into that (It seems much longer tho) |

I would actually like Kim D as a full-time HW
I think for S6 it could be: Treresa Caroline New HW NHW Kim D anyone else think Jen Dalton might become one? I think she needs more episodes to see what she is like but she just has this face which has bitchy written all over it

We are nearing the end of Atlanta on ITV2 and I was going to ask what the next series is like and what the line up is, then realised we are at the most recent series. Ooops.
My own take is that we can do without Porsha, and the mix of the rest needs looking at. I still adore Phaedra and hope she returns. Kenya is too much drama and I really am "meh" about Cynthia. I started of liking her but I think Kim got it right when she described her as passive/aggressive. She seems to stir things up but does in an understated manner than no-one realises she is doing it. Kandi is great and not apparently affected by being on the show. A complete contrast to Nene, who whilst strangely watchable is imo so far up herself she is almost a parody. New cast members perhaps for the next series? Felt sorry for her when she revealed to the councilor about loosing a baby at 7 months and that Kordell wasn't that supportive. Good thing Porsha didn't get pregnant given that at the end of the series we were told Kordell filed for divorce She certainly displayed her dimness thinking eating yams would produce twins, she talked as if she could just order twins and they would appear. In two minds about Cynthia, yes she does stir things but Peter is worse particularly with the Kenya/Walter thing. Read somewhere a description of Phedra along the lines of "with her odd home spun sayings and Georgia accent she sounds less granny-on-the-porch dispensing wisdom then Jigsaw from Saw" (not seen the film but I get the drift). Kenya is crazy and spiteful but I felt they were all pushing her to go crazier after she broke up with Walter. Love Nene. Also like Kandi, she seems down to earth and doesn't pretend she is wealthy although she probably is. Looking forward to the reunion. |

Yup, they showed Atlanta S5 which just aired in the USA so hopefully they show BH S3 aswell. Have ITV2 ever screened NY? I'd like them to show it from the beginning, never seen it.

I'm kind of glad we are seeing season 1 and 2 again. Those were the best seasons where it was glamourous and fun. After Brandi came on full time the show went a bit pete tong and got toxic. It did have a few good moments though. I do wonder how Bravo will show the 'shut the f@@k up' scene though because they can't skip it or nothing will make sense for like the next 10 episodes lol.

BIB2 - Cynthia can be forgiven for anything and everything since she is so damn beautiful! I like Peter he makes me laugh, definitely the best one of the husbands for looks and for personality. BIB3 - Kandi is the richest of the RHOA houswives by a massive margin, she's worth more than the rest of them all put together. This is the woman who wrote 'No Scrubs' and 'Bills Bills Bills', she's getting paid for life off of those 2 legendary songs. I was listening to some old Xscape stuff earlier and it reminded me how much I have loved Kandi for the past 15 years... If it wasn't for my Kandi love I never would have discovered RHOA and my world would be a much duller place!

Just watched the latest New Jersey... Everyone on the show is a mess!! Probably one of the better episodes of the season so far though (not that that would be hard)... atleast things are starting to happen.
First of all- Melissa is at lunch with her friends telling them about her book deal and that Teresa texted her to congratulate her. She complains in her interview that Teresa says one thing then does another. Then Terea's tweet comes up showing that she also publicly congratulated Melissa. ![]() One of Melissa's friends then suggests that Teresa is jealous of the book deal, despite (at this point) Teresa having 3 books published and 1 due to come out, and she was even on the NY times best seller list. Anyway they all laugh at Teresa's apparent jealously. Next Teresa is at dinner with one of the same friends, who this time goes after Melissa telling some story of how Melissa cheated on her husband. Teresa says that she doesnt want to hear any of that and the topic is dropped. Flash forward to Melissa and JoeGo complaining of how Teresa lets HER friends talk shit about poor Melissa and doesnt shut it down. Meanwhile Jac talks crap all the time about Teresa and they sit and listen to her without saying anything. Teresa was a real housewife, then Melissa rode in on her coattails. Teresa writes a book, Melissa gets a book deal. Melissa starts using Teresa's stylists and copied those photo things Teresa was complaining about 2 seasons ago. Melissa seems passive aggressive, and tries to rub Teresa the wrong way but can then turn around and pretend she wasnt causing trouble. Next there's crazy Jac , who I used to love so its sad/weird to watch her now- she seems unhinged and very hung up on her fight with Teresa, despite claiming otherwise. She went nuts in that store on the phone with Teresa. Practically wrestling it out of Kathys hand and bouncing off the walls like a spinning top accusing Teresa of all the things she herself is guilty of. The irony is quite hilarious. |

The blame Teresa is boring. It's so obvious Jac isn't over Tre. The thing with Jac, I personally think she really misses Tre and wants to be friends but I feel like she feels she can't because she's backed herself into a corner and is maybe afraid of the sh*t she'd get from everyone for tuning back to Tre. Rosie seemed more standable this episode. I'm even liking Caroline this episode! :O
I'm not liking Jennifer. I'm completely on the Kim D train, I love her. I wanted her to stand her ground more with Melissa and kathy though. Here's a link to her personal blog, it reveals a little bit of Bravo manipulation and there's a few funny digs at Jennifer. http://allthingsrh.com/kim-d-says-do...up-a-marriage/ Next season the housewives could be: Tre Kim D Jennifer Penny Linda (from the gym) Jan (Melissa's friend) None of them seem afraid to speak up and their gathering was the only thing worth watching last episode. Plus they all know each other in some capacity which will help the show continue naturally unlike the forced friendships of New York. Next week looks good. I think I might like Juicy after sticking up for Tre and rag dolling Gorga. |

There was a LOT happening in that NJ episode. I kind of get the impression that Melissa's 'friend' Jan met with her for lunch and then approached producers after to get in on the action - I bet she suggested going to meet with Teresa and her friends with the promise to stir up some crap about Melissa. Of course, producers would get her to that restaurant with Teresa in a heartbeat!
That whole scenario is just the definition of ''what goes around comes around'' for Melissa. |

Melissa's friends can stay! And do nothing but react and make side glances at Melissa's crap. I think it was my favourite thing all season so far.
