Does anyone else think that (surprisingly) Carlton looked the best in GaGa's video?

Please ATL producers, whatever you do next season, just fire Porsha. I'm getting tired of hearing her voice. She's so irrelevant to everything. She brings nothing to the show, other than proving the fact that she has no common sense. I think Cynthia should leave too, she's become very boring, and tbh, her husband is becoming more interesting than her. I'm hoping the rumours of Kim coming back are true.

I'm still watching the Melbourne housewives. I still enjoy it, but I think the show focuses far too much time on the housewives' separate lives, rather than what they do together. I don't really care about Lydia buying statues for her house, or seeing Janet buy a ring. And the only real storyline they have is the whole Jackie and Gina thing. It could do with some new housewives for next season (if they'll be one). I say, fire Chyka, Lydia, and maybe Janet.

That last BH episode I had such a weird attraction to Harry, he has so much confidence I can't help it

I think they all looked really great. I loved Kim with the guitar, it was quirky and cute - like her. You can totally she was a hippy back in the day.

I don't want Porsha fired, just demoted. She's the only one that will go there with Kenya - who I like. Nene walks away, Phaedra lets Kenya out talk her, as does Kandi.

If Cynthia is asked back it's because Peter brings the drama. Period. She's lost a lot of support this season for not standing up to Nene. It may change if she goes hard on her at the reunion but I doubt it. I'm not sure about a Kim return, it'll depend who else stays and goes really.

Can't believe I forgot to mention the pinata full of condoms... What was that about?!

It was funny seeing Gregg scooping up as many as possible though.

ATL once again proved this week why it's the most popular out of the entire Housewives shows. It always has the right combination of drama mixed with humour and fun.

I couldn't believe Apollo's nerve when he told Pheadra to lighten up and have fun as she studied for her final exams. Knowing that the feds were already deep into their investigations about his activities at this point, the stern look with a raised eyebrow that Pheadra directed at him was the same one I had when watching it! I think it was a stroke of genius to invite Miss Lawrence on the trip as she always provides entertainment. I can actually see the Kenya and Apollo comparison to Brangelina though.

I do find it amusing that Nene is the loudest voice protesting against the men getting involved in ''women business'' - yet she doesn't comprehend the fact that it's usually her herself that drags these men into it to begin with.

As for Cynthia - Kim called it way back at the Season 4 reunion - she has no backbone and she just proved it. The only person willing to actually go up against Nene is Kenya or Marlo - and Nene usually runs away when confronted by those 2 because they can be just as loud and obnoxious as she can.

Anyway, I've actually been having a New York Season 3 binge over the last few days. I do think it's probably one of the best Housewives seasons ever! If I were in charge of the shooting schedule for New York I'd have it begin in the summer so we could see the ladies in the Hamptons and going to social events there, and it eventually ends during NY Fashion Week in September. I think that's where NY Housewives aren't on the ball anymore - all the events on their social calendars are just lunches, house warmings and their own personal endeavours. Part of NY's charm is that these women used to be socialites attending actual events that would've occurred regardless of a Bravo film crew being there or not... Having said that though, Sonja, Ramona and Luann were all spotted filming at Fashion Week last year so hopefully that element will return.

Also, all this NY has prompted me to look up the Jill Zarin interview with Andy Cohen in 2012. Love her or loathe her she really did make the show interesting.

NY peaked in season 2 for me. That was an awesome season & reunion. For me, the Jill and Bethenny fued became irritating and far too drawn out by the end of the season 3. Not to mention how hard it was to watch Andy crucify Jill to the point where Bethenny even stepped in to stop him whilst Jill sat like an emotional wreck.

I'm sure I read that a lot of events in NY had refused to allow filming. The housewives were blacklisted by Anna Wintour (?) I believe and then other high profile events followed suit. Not to mention Kelly was the only one with strong to ties to the fashion world so in getting rid of her they probably lost a few connections with some events. Another problem is that the new cast members don't have the connections, the likes of Jill & Bethenny had, in the right places to get into events, they seem to normal and enough in the 'in' crowd if you know what I mean.

However, you'll be glad to know that they were filming in the Hamptons for this season, I'm sure the Hamptons episodes begin either this next episode or next weeks.

I think Kandi is the only one who can go against Nene and look good she's very intelligent she can read NeNe like a book and always defends herself well and comes out looking the best when NeNe and Kandi get into it.

This is true... And it's why Nene very rarely starts anything with Kandi. She says plenty about her in her THs and in her blog, but hardly anything face-to-face.

Talking of THs... Kandi's "flow on" was great.

Ah well. Part 2 of BH Reunion wasn't as hateful and bitchy as the first. Still eminently watchable though.
I cant wait for next week when they are joined by all the men. Could be a classic!

ATL just proves why its getting the high ratings its got everything a reality show could want humour, Drama and arguments all balanced out in each episode. However I am sick to death of Peter AKA Papa smurf he so desperately wants his own show and it shows i mean he is getting more camera time then Cynthia and thats saying something! As for Apollo and Phaedra I'm over them Phaedra is ONLY funny in the talking heads and Apollo is just a stupid dumb idiot who doesn't know left from right. I do hope they start filming the reunion soon though cause if this show comes back on November then surely they need to take a at least a 3 month break from filming Unless the rumours i heard that they are going to film S7 straight after the S6 reunion? I think Bravo want ATL to come back as soon as possible due to the high ratings.

As for BH reunion Yolanda once again getting on my nerves with her constant blabbering in the background and she is so rude to Joyce and i feel she is only like that because right now she is all Pro Brandi. As for Brandi notice how she starts to say things when Lisa is talking and laughing so childish LET HER SPEAK! I have said it before and i will say it again I'm just over Kim i cant see anymore coming from her... We have seen her go through addiction, her sobriety and her kids going to college I cant see what else she has to offer? Her dating next season? Her getting back into acting? All that she can do while being a friend of the HW.

I really enjoyed the Beverly Hills reunion. As much as I've liked Joyce all season last night she was too much. Let people talk, a reunion is no fun when one person rambles on. Infact all of them are needing to stop speaking over one another, it's tiresome. I was glad Lisa got called out for her crap- especially the siding whoever will be her ally. Loved producers showing the clip of what Ken said after she point blank denied it. Shame on her for bringing up Kim's son, she more or less revealed on national TV that he was the one that had the breakdown that was reported. That's low down and dirty. I'm over Brandi and Lisa's bs and I'm not looking forward to watching more next week. I'd like to see the side of her Kim was talking about. Yolandas interjections were annoying at times but she said a lot of what I was thinking, most importantly telling Carlton to but out Lisa & Kyles issues. Carlton, I can't deal with anymore. Her argument with Kyle is just so stupid, it has been ever since she had that 'dream' where Kyle talked about her and then tried to use it as legitimate proof that she had been. It's a shame because if she had another storyline other than Kyle - and her sex toys/dungeons/ - she might have been watchable like season 1 Camille...but she doesn't. I'm just loving Kim, she's been the shining light this season amongst a load of crap. If this reunion and the last few episodes is anything to go by it looks like she could be finally stepping up to her role as a full-time housewife next season. Why is Brandi still trying to slam Adrienne? Adrienne must be laughing knowing she been away a year and she's still being mentioned in both parts of the reunion, will it be a hat rick for Adrienne? Anyway, I'm excited for next week to see Kyle finally stand up to Lisa. I'm intrigued what Lisa's answer will be, if it's nothing then she's pure delusional. I'm really excited for the Lost Footage episode as well, the Beverly Hills ones usually feature some really great scenes.

Looking forward to NY tonight, it really improved last week over the premiere.

This part of the reunion was better than last weeks, but seriously didn't need to be a 3 parter. All the women constantly talking over each other was annoying as hell as they start talking and then get cut off.
Next weeks episode looks really good. I'm baffled by Andy saying to Lisa 'Look, she's (Brandi) crying over there'. Is he expecting her to get up and give her a hug?.

Of course he is. He needs Lisa to befriend her again so people will like her more so he can maintain his resident sh*t starter.

Although, he was giving Brandi it during parts of this episode.

LOL, true. I think I would actually go off Lisa if next season she just kisses and makes up with Brandi. That said, I also don't want to see another season like this, so I'm not sure where they can go with the show next season without making major changes.

I dont see Lisa going back BUT I think Brandi's Team will go out there way to make Brandi become friends with Lisa again cause her going against Lisa this season has backfired big time on her and may cost her space on the show...not that she won't be going anywhere cause Andy loves her but like to have hope she will be gone next season

She has lost me as fan for sure and i use to stand up for her but with every episode this season i have just dislike her more and more.

RHONY was a total filler episode this week. However next week I am looking forward to as it's the return of Luann. For me she is needed as it really hasn't felt like RHONY without her.

RHONY was a bit quiet for me this week. We had the continuation of Carole and Aviva's ghostwriter fight. As Ramona and Kristen both questioned, who the hell cares? Aviva is beyond silly for picking at Carole's career - but Carole lost it altogether by sticking around at Aviva's house-warming, bitching about her in her own house, telling Harry Dubin (the father of Aviva's child!) that she understood the divorce, and even telling Reid that his wife is not a nice person! How unbelievably rude.

The Ramona and Avery scenes were actually quite sweet. Sonja and her interns is always bizarre but there's no denying it - she's a proper character. Thank god she hasn't dared mention this non-existent toaster oven!

I'm looking forward to next week with the return of Luann plus it does seem to be a drama-filled episode with plenty of tension. Also, who the hell is that random woman at their events saying really horrible things about everyone?!

I have a feeling she may have been 'auditioning' for a role during filming but never got picked up because she looked like an ass - she did in the preview episode anyway.


I liked this episode. I totally loved the way Carole was with Heather's daughter, that was so sweet. I think Carole truly does want kids but doesn't want to admit it because it's something that she doesn't think will happen. Last season I didn't think she did but this episode made me think otherwise. What was Sonja's deal with siding Aviva? She was even making faces at Carole's friends baby shower. This episode would have been really great if there was a drama at the end (the norm for a housewives episode.) which it didn't. Other than Kristen and her husband but we don't know enough about them to really care for that yet.

Was the preview for the next episode or for the next few episodes? If it's for the next episode it's going to be one hell of an episode. I'm stoked for the Luann return! It's definitely needed.

Wonder how many parts it will be my guess will be 4 parts but I dont know since Kenya and NeNe are both doing there projects so will they be filming those 8-12 hour reunions ? I hope Marlo comes along cause Kenya will be the target once again but she can handle herself Marlo will just be funny


Over to NY this was a filler episode but it wasn't a boring one imo bit flat but i enjoyed it Aviva is just crazy crazy crazy she sure is working that that drama. Looking forward to next weeks as LuAnn is back FINALLY Im gutted she is no longer full time cause we won't be seeing her much. But who is that woman slagging everyone off?

I'm loving RHONY so far. Sonja and the interns is hilarious and I liked the scenes with Ramona and Avery.

Aviva is crazy, don't know what shes doing at all.

I always liked Carole but never really warmed to Heather but so far this season shes really shining and acting like a real friend with Carole. They are obviously very close which is why Heather is acting so defensively with Carole.

I think Kristen is awesome, really funny and a little spoiled, she'll be great tv. I think her and her husband aren't a great match though, they don't seem to have much in common and if that's how they fight on camera imagine how they fight off camera!

Never thought I'd say this but I'm looking forward to seeing Luann again ...

Did anyone else notice the shade thrown by the editors in the preview for next week's NY episode? We see Sonja ask her interns if the drag queen is attending her burlesque show... then they cut to a shot of Luann step out of her car!!

I don't think Porsha going anywhere.

I thought the recent talk was she is extremely popular with somebody very high up behind the scenes and while maybe not being the most fan favourite or high profile housewife represents THE key demographic Atlanta is trying to reposition it's focus towards.

This is their highest rating show but lets face it Nene Leakes and Kenya Moore might bring in the viewers but aren't really an advertisers dream in encouraging the key demographic to spend spend spend on lots of frivolous lifestyle products. And if those ratings aren't translating into cash then they mean very little.

Porsha is THE demographic. She's an attractive, young frivolous thing; totally on trend who looks great wearing and using all those products advertisers want other young, frivolous things to go out and buy.

I mean if you notice a lot of money is being put behind Porsha, her hair line, her single etc. And that's because while the key viewers might be going 'Nene's my favourite' it's Porsha that they're going 'I wonder where she got those shoes, that dress, that hair,'.

Noticed that to so funny I was just looking up some info on NY and because LuAnn was filming as a full time HW during filming we might actually see alot more of her considering she is just a friend of the HW because the only reason they demoted her was because she broke up from that guy she was with so they have just edited bits out so she may be seen in quite a few episodes. I wasn't a fan of LuAnn but she was part of the original crew so I have strangely missed her so far.

I thought the reason they had to 'demote' her was because of all the contract negotiations. Her contract wasn't signed until three episodes worth of material was shot.

This was a problem. They wanted her back full time but there was no way they were going to set a precedence and let someone play up like that, especially after the difficult negotiations with all the other women, hence the reduced status.
