Uhm...I wonder how this will effect Porsha place on the show. Yikes, talk about inconvenient timing. Also, read that bish Cynthia. More of this Cynthia, please.

I'm just surprised that the video is becoming news now... It's been on YouTube for 3 years and it's been circulating on other sites for a good while, I'd be surprised if Bravo didn't already know about it, possibly even before they hired her - and if they didn't then they should do better research.

However, now that it is getting press attention Bravo may fire her.

I definitely found last year's reunion better... This year's just had a nastiness about it and was very repetitive in terms of what they actually talked about.

Yes it was really something and was vicious. Some of the sayings they came out with was hilarious but at time shocking. I loved Nene handing Andy his arse on a platter - I been wanting someone to do that.
For me this was a great reunion to watch.

Yeah it went around in circles and Bravo didn't even bring Marlo out which was a flop on their part. Also Peter needed to call out Nene, its clear from the footage he didn't walk up on her like she is claiming, she stormed over to him, that was never actually mentioned.

I hope Porsha is fired she did nothing this season or even last season she only got invited back because she was going through the divorce and even that didn't didn't do anything for her place on the show. After TMZ getting wind of that video I think it may harm her chances with Bravo even IF they knew about it before.

I dont know who will be back but ideally i would like:

NeNe 'I dislike her now BUT i think she is needed for at lease one more season to wrap up storylines' But i wouldn't be bothered if she quit.

Kenya ' Like her or hate her this woman brings the drama and she will have Cynthia to film with and Kandi and maybe Sheree if she comes back'

Sheree 'She needs to come back more then ever if anything to take NeNe down once and for all'

Kandi 'Properly the most genuine HW of them all and speaks the truth and is a viewer fave so she needs to come back for sure plus I wanna see how her relationship with Todd goes'

2 New HW 'freshen up the show with new faces and let the dynamics change otherwise this if they keep the same cast then its going to be just like New Jersey S5.

Onto NJ any more news on S6? I dont think we will be seeing it till end of July due to the trial tbh which sucks. But i cant blame Bravo i mean teresa is the Face of that show and they need her for promo so i think thats why they are holding back.

I'm looking forward to RHONJ. I'm more excited about the long over due intro update than anything else. It will probably be Melissa or Dina in the front/center spot, we all know how Andy does when it comes to Teresa. I'm still not hyped about Dina coming back, she was boring the first time round - a friend role would have been more appropriate. I'll reserve full judgement until we see what she's like.

I'm not sure why Teresa can't do promo. I thought you could leave state on permission? As far as I know she hasn't been denied an application to leave state. She'd only need to go to New York, it's next door, not the other side of the USA.

EDIT:
If Cynthia keeps up this feisty side I'd love her to stay and have just one new person to freshen it up.

I'm just hoping Phaedra and Apollo get shown the door. I'm over them and their act. Everyone says Kenya makes things up, which I don't like either, but Phaedra and Apollo are just as bad. I'll miss Phaedra's zingers but this season they have been few and far between anyway and mostly in her TH's.

The RHONJ S4 reunion beats everything, IMO.

I'm extremely excited for the new season of NJ, mainly because its going to be so different to the past 3 seasons.

The Melbourne reunion was fantastic! Gina came across very badly. I can't believe she said she doesn't use the word "moron" after being shown a clip of her saying it!

The ATL reunion was also great, I felt really sorry for Kenya during the 3rd part. She looked like she was going to cry after Pheadra's sperm doner comment (which was completely below the belt, IMO).

Apollo pled guilty... Sentencing is on July 8th.

Phaedra might be sticking around for another season then, her adjusting to life with Apollo back in prison would be her storyline... However, I hope that for the sake of her sons she leaves the show and doesn't let this play out on tv any further.

I totally agree with you on this. It was when NJ was recently on ITV2 that I fully realised that Dina didn't do anything when she was originally a housewife. I guess because she was talked about so much on the show after she left and because of the drama between her and Caroline that I just thought she was more interesting then she actually is. Like you said I am prepared to give her a chance.

RHOC was a little dull tbh last night. I found myself spacing out at Shannons scenes and not much else happened either. I did like the scene at Coto insurance. I don't know why though haha Apparently they got their lowest ratings for 6 years for last nights episodes at around 1.4 million viewers which is a big drop but I think it could just be a blip. I need for actual drama to start now.

Good Kenya can get mileage out of that, Phaedra might have a husband but he'll likely be in prison so Kenya wins. Did he plead guilty cause his accomplice threw him under the bus, that was the suggestion on Wendy Williams last week.

It is hilarious Phaedra is so proud of having a convict for a hubby, of all casts the husbands in Atlanta are the biggest losers.

See Dina didn't do much but she was totally the silent eye of the storm for the first two seasons with the other four the tornado around her.

The show pretty much revolved around her. She was the focal point. Teresa was her quiet mate with a crazy temper. Jacqueline the sister in law who had issues with her and sister Caroline stuck in the middle. And Danielle whose whole motivation on the show was her strange obsession over Dina.

I mean when Dina quit season 2 the whole show was thrown into a messy disarray which I don't think it ever really recovered from. Danielle lost all meaning and seemed to lose interest as it was only ever Dina's attention that she seemed to be desperate for. The Manzo focus was sort of lost (three of them outweighed the power of Tre and Danielle to keep it Manzo'd but a Jac and Caroline duo just couldn't). And Teresa's popularity thrust her into Dina's central position which she has never been entirely comfortable with.

And making Tre the focus brought on the Wakile's and Gorga's which was ok for a bit but it never got past the fact this wasn't what Tre wanted and the issue her family came in behind her back. Which then led to this cycle of contrived, producer forced stories which just created more tiresome venom over the same old crap.

I think Dina's return probably one return that seems to serve a real valid purpose. The show desperately needs to move away from the repetitive Tre vs everyone stuff. And that means having Tre take a step back. Dina while not being Ms Drama has the presence and history with the show and Tre to take some of that lead without it becoming the usual vs Tre thing. And that's a good thing because it allows the show to refocus.

It needs someone a bit more 'boring' to take that central role from Tre somewhat because then it gives the show a bit of freedom to mix the dynamics up a bit with everyone else as opposed to everyone just firing at that one person.

Porsha was preaching some crazy stuff back in 2010. This video will be the final nail in the coffin most likely.

Cynthia and Miss Lawrence both not happy.

But what does she win? Something bad has happened in the life of someone you don't like for some other totally different reason. What's the prize?

This is what I don't get about Kenya, she seems to live her life to win petty battles where actually you win nothing... other than to say in your own twisted mind 'I won'. But the reality is if you think you've won because something crappy which is totally unrelated to you has happened to someone else then actually you've completely lost in life.

I suppose it goes back to something Nene said about it not being the Weakest Link. I know some people see these shows as some kind of Hunger Games where the only thing that matters is who's going to be hired and who's going to be fired next season and everything is viewed in such a way. Kenya seems to have that mentality where this show is some competition to win... well something. Which is kind of strange.

That is why I have a bit of pity for Kenya and why I struggle with the so called 'entertainment' of her behaviour. It's so bitter and unpleasant to watch someone with such an empty existence that their driving force is to win petty, pointless battles for the sake of a tv show.

Phaedra is the one who continues with the "you don't have a husband" lines even though its clear Kenya isn't interested in taking Apollo away. So now Phaedra could be husband-less too when he ends up in prison.

Phaedra is on her high horse when she's married to a man who has convicts to his name and is likely to have more, he ain't no catch of a husband.

I don't actually understand their point.

She didn't say she hate gays or is opposed to homosexuality so why can't she perform in a gay club? Her sermon seems to be even if you do believe it to be a sin then it isn't for you to judge or ostracize. It's up to you to treat everyone with love.

And if as a Christian she does find homosexuality to be sin then that's an opinion she can have (well actually that opinion doesn't even have to had because or religion). Of course as a gay non religious person I don't find it a sin and find the idea it is quite ridiculous (but I also don't find prostitution or drug taking a sin either) but I know that certain people believe their religions say it is. And if that is their belief but they also believe in tolerance to those who have a different opinion then I will extend the same tolerance to their religion and belief system.

This is exactly the kind of real life issue I would love to see tackle on these kind of shows.

Apollo deserves everything thats coming to him, reading up on what he did is just the most stupid thing anyone can ever do what made him think he can get away with it is beyond me. Kenya is having the last laugh right now for sure.

As for NJ Andrew I read Teresa cant do any promotion before the trial as it may do more harm then good basically everything she does/says is being watched upon. Im looking forward to the intro to I wonder if they will be dropping the families behind them and just go for the updated look like BH etc have.

Im looking forward to seeing Dina I liked her in S1 & 2 yeah i'll admit she didn't really bring much drama but I think her returning makes total sense and not just being done for the sake of it. Teresa needed a genuine friend to as she hasn't really had one ever since Dina left and Dina was the talk of every season at least once. I have high hopes for Dina and i think she will surprise us.

Part 3 of RHOA reunion. I never thought Nene could possibly irritate me even more than she did in part 3. Arrogant, conceited, obnoxious and downright rude are the words I'd use to describe this "woman". This is coming from someone who was once a big fan of hers. You know things are bad for Nene when her only "friend" on the show is Phaedra and the violent, empty headed homophobe that is Porsha. The way she spoke to Andy too when he brought up her use of the word queen in a derogatory way was very telling I thought. I hope they fire her and Porsha and Phaedra. If they don't then I am officially done with this s**t show.

As for the O.C. Is it me or has the start of this new season been very dull? I admit I watched them all back to back because I thought it might make it a bit more entertaining but sadly it just really wasn't. New girls seem nice and all but I just can't help feel something is missing.

In contrast, I think RHONY is fantastic so far. What would make it even better would be to bring back a few of the girls that got fired. I know they all still talk to Alex, so I don't see why they just cut them out completely from the show. I know it has to do with pay and contracts, but I wish they could have stayed on in a minor way.

I agree. I can't wait for Kenya to knock Phaedra down a peg or two when Apollo is behind bars. That's if Phaedra doesn't end up behind bars also, she hasn't been dragged in yet but if Angela Stantons book is anything to go by, she probably isn't far behind.

Aint that true. That thug deserves everything that's coming his way. He's disgusting.

Ah, I see. That's disappointing, but oh well we will live. I hope they keep the families in the intro, mostly because NJ, like the OC, is a family orientated show for the most part, unlike NY, ATL, MIA, BH which focus solely on the women and their ventures. I'm hoping for an update similar to the OC's.

It has been missing drama. There hasn't been any. Just petty squabbling at Heather. Nothing much is really happening but I'm still enjoying, especially the first 3 episodes - wasn't crazy about the last one.

I think the Real Housewives franchise is in a lot of trouble regarding ratings, maybe it is coming to an end. Beverly Hills just had it's lowest rated season, as did Miami & New Yorks ratings are appallingly low. The OC ratings have been better than expected but still down on the last 3 seasons. The last episodes were really bad, what on earth happened that they lost 400,000 week on week?

They should do a spin-off together. Can you imagine the WWHL poll, 'who should get a longer sentencing?' or 'who is more guilty?' or 'who would you send to jail?'. Andy would love it.


Just watched RHONY's latest episode and it was so good. That's one of the best episodes of RHONY probably since season 3. There was plenty fun scenes which were really great too watch. There were quite a few LOL moments too.

The best line of the episode had to go to Luann. The others were saying something like Sonja rarely leaves her house or she wants to rush home and Luann came out with "She's afraid they're gonna take it before she gets back". LOL Looks like Luann just got even for the drag queen comment.

Carole joking about anal then realising they were gonna air that was hilarious. I really enjoyed Carole this episode, for the first time this season.

Sonja is a little delusional but Kristens husband was way out of line when he was talking about her at dinner. Heather was incredibly rude to Ramona's friend too - his faces and eye rolls were hysterical.

Ramona, Sonja & Luann at exercise class was funny, they looked great. I'm loving this trio and their car ride was a hoot to watch! I'm so disappointed Luann got demoted she's been the star this season so far, for me anyway.

Ramona was so rude about Heathers house. I can't believe she ordered air con. Neither can I believe that she asked Heather when she go out the car 'is this the garage or the house?'. She really showed herself up this episode and was completely ignorant about the Berkshires and the people who go there.

The women hanging out was fun to watch. Especially Luann and Heather and on the tree-swing...Heather swinging into the camera man was funny as hell, as was Luanns voice in the background saying "you didn't see her? what were you filming?" - or something along those lines.

Ramona & Kristen...dear lord. Ramona was well out of order throwing the glass at Kirsten. Totally unacceptable behaviour. I'm not sure why Kristen thought it was a good idea to splash Ramona given how she reacted the last time. Although, it did seem like Kristen was just trying to have some fun. Kristen seemed genuinely shocked and it looked like she wanted to cry, I felt bad for her. Ramona left the situation because she knew she was wrong. Period. Kristen did try get in between Ramonja by claiming Ramona's done nothing to help Sonja in 20 years. Loved Luann shouting "don't forget, I'm a nurse" before swooping in to rescue Kristen. I did laugh at Carole 'you guys are f*cking crazy, I'm out' as she jumped out the canoe and almost capsized it with Ramona & Sonja in it. LOL.

So Aviva was absent and I did miss her. This would have been a good time for her to bond with the group. Sometimes, I feel like Aviva tries too hard to make good TV. Kind of like every opportunity to make good TV she takes rather than picking and choosing her moments, I think that's the problem with her. However, she's been dropped from the opening credits which doesn't usually happen during the absence of a housewife. There's two stories circulating; one says she was fired during filming and then brought back so will be back after 3 episodes, the other, says she has been fired from the show at present. I'm not sure what to believe, I hope she's back soon either way.

I'm excited for next week. Ramona & Kristen continue to battle it out and Ramona gets busted in a lie - which Luann revels in.

Kandi is hilarious. I feel like she could get a bish together.


Just on AllAboutTRH, Andy tweeted that he Bravo asked Danielle to come back this season and she declined, they asked her to attend the last reunion too, which she also declined. Seems like she doesn't need the show. I think the fact she decided not to return and rub Tre's face in it, and Carolines over the Dina stuff, was very big of her. Clearly, she wasn't as bad as they made out.

I loved NY this week this whole season is so much better then S5 but Im getting annoyed with Ramona though, her behaviour is not on but I think the whole Mario cheating is effecting her cause i think this is when it was happening and she did know... did anyone else find it funny when Heather said she was taking the girls away and Mario was like 'THANK YOU' maybe he was happy because he can see his woman lol. When Heather bashed into the camera man I was LOL and Luann saying 'you didn't see her?' Ramona throwing the glass was stupid she could of seriously injured her or if it hit her eye she could of gone blind, ramona knew she was wrong thats why she left. Looking forward to next weeks.

I just saw that article about Danielle and I find it odd because she is ALWAYS tweeting/re-tweeting about how she should return to the show.JUST SIGN ON ALREADY. She would make NJ unmissable if she returned yeah she was over dramatic but she made great TV.

I do wonder though if teresa is sent to prison I wonder how much it will effect the show in terms of promotion/when its airing etc? I cant imagine the reunion without her.

Aviva's only been ''dismissed'' from the show for 3 episodes because she apparently refused to attend the trip. I have no idea why it's suddenly an issue for Bravo now considering Housewives have skipped trips before (eg. Luann with Scary Island) - maybe because Aviva passed on the UK trip last season as well?

We know she'll definitely be back anyway - that preview shot of her leg on the floor is proof!

One of the more interesting things to come out of the Apollo drama is that as part of his excuse for why he did it he revealed Phaedra's RHOA salary... $600,000.

Andy Cohen has rubbished & dismissed all of the previous reports about Housewives salaries, after the rumours about Kenya & Nene's salaries came out he tweeted that he's never seen an accurate report about a housewives salary across all the franchises.

But now the $600,000 is pretty certain for Phaedra I'd say it's fair to assume that Kandi, Nene and Kenya all get paid more than that.
