I wonder how Atlanta is pulling in 4 million i mean it only started getting that a few episodes back maybe its the sunday slot which helps cause there Sunday TV must be like our Saturday night TV in terms of good ratings. Aswel I think Atlanta comes across as the most genuine in terms of less staged stuff like other RH shows.

I think because some of the relationships and history really do go back a long way is what gives Atlanta the edge. Like Nene disliking Phaedra on a real non-TV level. Those are the things that make Atlanta seem real.

Although in fairness its the one who knew none of them, i.e. Kenya that is making this season.

I genuinely think it's because the Atlanta women keep things moving and don't hold massive grudges and let it get to the bitchy stage which is where the other shows go wrong. The Atlanta women might not like each other but they don't sit around being catty everytime their together and their sassy which is a bonus.

Apparently NY already has the green light for season 7 and they start filming in September. Either Bravo are really confident and have faith in this seasons footage or they plan on bringing back the old cast in a last ditch attempt. If this is true of course.

I dont think Bravo or Andy would like to lose the show and i think they will also bring back some originals to in order to save the franchise.

This isn't Miami where its still finding its feet NY has been around for a long time so Bravo will do more to save it then they would to save Miami.

I think you're right. With Andy no longer at charge at Bravo he may need to swallow his pride and hire them back if he's ordered to do so.

I don't think Miami can use that excuse now. It's been around 3 seasons now and it still hasn't taken off or found its stride (other than Season 2). As much as I like Adriana and Alexia I don't really care if Miami gets cancelled. Last season was a complete snooze-fest and I was disappointed at the decisions to get rid of Ana and Karent, those two made Season 2 along with Joanna and Adriana.

It was already rumored that Kenya was doing Celebrity apprentice but apparently Brandi Glanville is also in the cast and those two have had some words recently so I expect them to go head to head Maybe Donald should just chuck in Joanna Krupa. I never thought I would say this but I team Kenya. Bravo are definitely trying to restore Brandis image. They never expected this strong of a backlash. In the trailer for the season there were snippits of Yolanda and Brandi alledging blackmail and Brandi saying "I CHECKMATED YOU BITCH!"

I was listening to a podcast and they said that to, they said that they wanted Brandi to go against Lisa from Season 2 but it backfired but now its happening also did they stop comments last week or the week before on the blogs? I heard they did and it was because both Yolanda and Brandi were getting alot of hate on them.

Brandi has well and truly lost me as a fan i dont think i will ever go back to liking her she is just trash now. Her saying how manipulative Lisa has been is just annoying cause really Brandi has been the one doing it by constantly talking trash about her. I also thick the Producers are in her ear and because she is so desperate to stay on the show she will do anything they say.

I can't believe Atlanta stilll hasn't shot the reunion, I mean how long is this season going to go on for?

Some people seem to be criticising Bravo for leaving such a long gap in between wrapping Season 6 of NY and actually airing it. The last thing they shot was 6 months ago! But was there any criticism about New Jersey Season 4? All of that was filmed an entire year before it aired on television. Or was the reveal of why Jacqueline didn't attend the reunion enough to keep up the interest?

Well it's because they are delivering the ratings.

This isn't three years ago where Bravo are having one high rated show once a week. They're now experiencing record average ratings and are using their more established shows to keep that average up... even if it is at an expense of losing some viewers from those particular shows.

Of course New York was going to dip in ratings, it had been moved to time slot which had been experiencing significantly lower ratings and launched while there are already two versions of the franchise still running. I don't know if they were expecting such a drop however what it delivered was as equally a significant rise in ratings for that Tuesday slot and for at least three weeks in March they have Monday and Tuesday delivering Housewives ratings, maybe low Housewives ratings but low Housewives ratings are still way above average which will feed into the shows around it.

Taking it as one show then yes it looks bad but tv channels don't think like that, their strategy is about the whole and the fact is Bravo are currently busting records.

I personally hate those long gaps between shooting and broadcasting, Atlanta have done it right this season, the events being shown now were at the beginning of November I think.

New York started taping in May and now we have February, that's just too long. And now they have to edit the season again because of Luann's split and Ramona's divorce. That's what you get for waiting too long to air.

Same with Beverly Hills, the finale was taped at the beginning of August. Too long of a gap. Never seen New Jersey season 4 so no comment on that.

I know i aint complaining though but surely that means S7 will properly go straight into filming after the reunion is done.

Also Kim and sheree are on Watch What happens tonight I saw it on Kims Facebook wonder why the two of them on it

I though the same about Camille being on WWHL, maybe a sign that she is back? Kim might just be announcing Don't Be Tardy season 3.

yeah I think she is its been all over twitter I didn't watch alot of season 2 but watched 3 episodes that much but i i think her show is good so i will give S3 another shot.

O I love Don't Be Tardy! I've been wondering when/if Season 3 would be announced. I honestly think its the best Housewives spin-off they have done. Its just a fun little show that makes me smile, Kim is fab on it and say what you will about Kim, but her kids are adorable. Cant wait for it.

I also wouldn't mind if she did return to RHOA, only if she committed though, after Season 3 it was blatantly obvious she barely had any interest and didn't want to be there so when she left I was happy to see her go. But if she were to come back and really get involved again I wouldn't mind it. Id be interested to see what would happen, particularly with Nene since she and Kim are fairly civil these days.

Ill need to try and find a copy of WWHL tomor, Id love to see cray cray Sheree again and what she has going on!

If you find a link PM me I can never find WWHL on any sites i use for some reason

I know, its one of those shows I can rarely find either. If I find it though, ill let you know!

Found this a funny (and interesting) read:

http://www.thewire.com/entertainment...sewife/358890/

It's a ranking of all the housewives from all the franchises and puts them into categories.

As for last night's ATL there was way too much Kenya and her BS... Oh and I really hope that Phaedra divorces Apollo, his behaviour is so disrespectful and he clearly doesn't care about her or their marriage.

thanks for that Lisa No1 and rightfully so

I know and there is a really sad preview of the bravo website and it definitely looks like it is heading that way and that was filmed before all the fraud charges. I want to her to divorce him also Princess, I love me some Phaedra

Even though it was filmed before he was actually charged, his laptop was seized by the police back in September so everything we're seeing now is when Apollo knew the net was closing on him... So if Phaedra and Apollo knew the charges were coming anyday then it would explain some of the tension.

If she stays with him then I think his legal drama will drag her down, in terms of her legal career and in her role on RHOA. I think a separated/divorced Phaedra raising her adorable sons and having fun with Kandi would make great viewing next season.

While I'm feeling the Phaedra love I have to add that her calling Marlo a "natural born killer" was great

The best line of the BH reunion ep 1 goes to Joyce regarding Brandi's tampon string lol.
To be honest, I was expecting a bit more from part 1, but we do have 2 more parts to go/ endure.
Yolanda is the pettiest housewife ever and needs to get her story straight. Was she locked in her house for 18 months/ 2 years or 6 months? It's as if she expected Lisa to drop her life and become her very own live in carer, just to show she was a true friend. The real issue that Yo has with Lisa has more to do with her friendship with Mohammed in my opinion.
I hate to say it but i'm losing interest in Atlanta. When will it end? The reunion still hasn't been filmed, so i'm assuming we've still got at least another 2 months to go til it's all over. I just read that apparently all the women will be back next year along with Mynique and Marlo as full time housewives. 8 Full time housewives? Surely that can't be right.

Loved Atlanta this week. It's so strange that although I don't care that much for the cast as individuals they keep me the most entertained. (At the moment). Regarding the 8 housewives, I doubt they'll all be official housewives. Maybe, they will all begin as housewives but the 1 or 2 with the least going will get demoted after filming - like the Countess in NY.

The part 1 of the Beverly Hills reunion was sooo good. It is definitely shaping up to be their best yet and one million times better than the god awful season 3 reunion. I especially loved the bits with Kim at the start, for the first time she wasn't overlooked and the montage was hilarious. It's great she's doing so well, I do find it odd that she's never really discussed what drove her to alcohol in the first place though. Well, I suppose your fiance being murdered while you were on the phone to him would be enough to tip anyone over the edge. I was glad Lisa finally apologized for some stuff, even it was insincere, it made me like her a little bit. I was confused at how Yolanda even managed to bring Andy's question back to being about her...I was glad Andy wasn't letting Lisa off the hook by evading the question as well. I liked Joyce but I did wish at some points she let the others get their points across instead of always talking over them &, for the most part, even Carlton was tolerable, probably because she never really spoke much.

Can YAWNlonda just stfu about herself for once... jeeze thats all she can talk about it had to go back to her all the time! No Yolanda Lisa doesn't have to drop anything for you know why because your NOT friends your cast mates BIG difference Lisa knows it and so should she.

Im glad Joyce stuck up for herself the way she did and I believe her story over Brandi's about the whole phone call thing Brandi just looked guilty. As for Kim meh glad she is healthy but I dont think i can take another season of her going on about her recovery she is funny but in terms of bringing drama and being interesting she doesn't do it for me. Looking forward to next weeks.

Atlanta now does anyone else just see 'GUILTY' written all over Apollo? He just looks so shady i know there was alot of editing but you cant hide his facial expressions he so wants to bang Kenya.....again... Its obvious though that Phaedra and Apollo marriage is a sham though in terms of true love i dont see anything with them i think they married for other reasons and its really showing this season. I did love Kenya and Phaedras confessionals though so much SHADE and the comments were hilarious
