These shows are my guilty pleasure I love RHOBH and RHOOC the others I can do without

Real Housewives of Cheshire is a poor UK attempt but will persevere and see what the new lot bring

The best Real Housewives franchise is Melbourne, hands down, imo. Although, I hope they give Jackie the boot this season.

Beverly Hills has been a bit meh. LVP & Kyle have gotten a bit complacent an gun shy though. Also, I'm over LVP stirring crap then playing the victim every season when she gets called out. I find Kathryn oddly refreshing and hope to see her back. I'm loving Eileen, even if her instigation between Rinna and LVP is a bit much. I'm half way between being over everyone and wanting everyone to return. I'd like to see Kim and possibly Brandi back in some role. The strategics of this show has gotten so obvious though that it's starting to ruin it.

The Atlanta reunion is good for uneventful season. Although uneventful, it has been funny. I wonder why they cut it so short?

I gave up on Potomac. I just couldn't get into it. Looking forward to New York, Dallas, Cheshire and New Jersey though. I hope OC will improve because last season was staler than month old milk.

I'm still watching, haven't posted in ages. The thread went so quiet though so I'm glad there's still a few of us around and watching!

The Atlanta reunion has been great, considering not much happened this season. Atlanta always give good reunion. Why was the season so short? I'm sure they filmed Kandi's baby shower, etc yet we never got see any of it. Talking of, Kandi looks great at the reunion. I haven't watched Part 3 yet, but what is Nene wearing?! That jumpsuit is awful ill reserve judgement till I see it on her properly, but No!
Kim seems to have found her voice, right at the end, she hasn't let Kenya get the better of her. Not surprising Kim wont be back though, I've enjoyed her this season, but she does not gel with these girls at all. I did love her kind of wide eyed, WTF reactions to things though. This is deff not the show for her.
Kim's going so can we please give Sheree her peach back?! I've loved seeing her back I just wish she had a bigger role this season, she was just kind of there. Sheree at her finest/shadiest gives me life. They need her back full time.

Beverly Hills- Love the Dubai scenes. Makes me want to go back. Serious vacation envy going on. Its a stunning place, The Atlantis is spectacular, as is the Burj al Arab ( the sail). I loved the desert trip & their dinner. This is what I love about BH, when it does fabulous- it really does fabulous! Just a shame the storyline this season is a bit meh. Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying this season, but I never need to hear about Lyme or Munchausen ever again! but God do they bang on about it constantly. I get Yolanda has been ill but she really is a bit OTT with it all now, she just makes everything so extra! I love Eileen but its a bit much with her constant need for everyone to have it out with LVP. Im 50/50 on Erika, I go from really liking her to not being at all sure about her. Kathryn I think is great. Id love to see her back next season. The Reunion should be good!

Potomac- It took a while but I'm slowly getting into it. I'm maybe 2 or 3 eps behind but I'm starting to see it has potential. I did however watch the preview of the Reunion & it looks great! Though they need to seriously work on the styling next season. Poor Robyn, what is with that hair?! Apparently Season 2 is a go though, with Bravo looking to add a new lady/ladies to the group. Id imagine Gizelle, Karen and Ashley are a safe bet for next season. Charisse is just kind of there, Robyn I like, but again I'm not sure what she brings. Katie could go either way. I guess we will have a better idea at the reunion. I'm enjoying Ashley of all the women, she's cute & funny, Karen is insufferable, banging on about etiquette & how one should act constantly, whilst being one of the worst! But that's what makes her good on the show.

Has anyone been watching Vanderpump Rules?? I've loved this season. Its such a guilty pleasure. The reunion has been great so far.

Cant wait for NY to be back this week I'm looking forward to Dallas aswell. NJ has just wrapped up filming so that will start Id imagine around the summer, & The OC should be back about then.

I've got most of Melbourne to catch up on still, but I loved the first couple of episodes. Lydia seems to have come out the gate at full speed!

Cheshire I cant get into at all. Maybe ill stack up a few episodes & try again if this season turns out to be any good.

Hahah I thought I was the only one left watching RHs.

I'm really loving Potomac. I hope it gets renewed and they keep all the ladies.

I really enjoyed Cheshire last night. It seems Dawns true colours are starting to unravel. Her drunken behaviour (which isnt that rare) was clearly shown. I did find it funny that s1, Lauren and Ampika couldnt stand her and then s2 Magali couldnt. We were never shown a reason, but I think s3 will highlight Dawn and how she really is. I'm loving the new ladies, Stacey's house is even more impressive than Dawn's. No wonder Dawn doesnt like her.

Atlanta reunion saved it for me but hated the second half of the season. The return of Carlos King (producer) was so evident halfway through, the recycled storylines i.e. Kandi & Todd v Phaedra, Porsha and Kenya, etc are soooo boring. I loved when Cynthia and Porsha had that physical altercation in episode 3 they were told to quash it asap. If Carlos was producing the show at the time you know that would've been an entire season of them bickering back and forth.

BHs I stopped watching after they went to San Diego.

I loved Cheshire last night too! And I'd always been a bit meh about it. The new additions are great and yes, I really hope vile Dawn gets get comeuppance. I really like Lauren and Ampika, they're both nuts!

Buzzing for NY tomorrow!

Has anyone got a link for Melbourne season 3? I love it!

Hi I watch Potomac on brokensilenze.net just search it and all the episodes pop up, but it doesnt get that interesting until episode 3, so dont give up

Cheshire is great, it really puts the tack in tacky! I've never liked Dawn as she reminds me of someone I used to know years ago, in looks & personality. The two other footballers wives (can't remember their names offhand) worship her. I suspect they are a bit afraid of her actually. I like Ampika as she just doesn't care.

When is NY back then, I can't find it, is it on ITVBe?

As for Beverley Hills, I'm only on the Season where Yolanda takes them all to Amsterdam. During the reunion I was shocked to see how awful Brandi looks with her plastic surgery or fillers, she used to be stunning too.

Chuffed to bits with the HAYU thingy on Virgin, it's all the reality shows in one place and I might even get up to speed with this place!

NY season 7 starts on itvBe on Friday. But season 8 started last night in the U.S... Has anyone watched it yet? I'm hoping to catch it today.

That season of BH is season 5, just been shown on itvBe. Season 6 is currently on in U.S. But I haven't caught any of that yet... Not heard good things though.

Ah, thanks

Yes, thanks for the NY heads-up!

I'm watching series 6 of BH on Lifetime (156) on Sky.

What is Lisa Vanderpump's obsession with giving her animals saucy names? Giggy (Gigolo?) is often referred to as a sex machine, another dog as a sex monster, then we have Rumpy and Pumpy and Hanky and Panky the swans.

Did we ever get to the bottom of the magazine saga with Mauricio's supposed affairs which Brandi says Lisa V tried to put in along with the luggage on their trip to embarrass Kyle? I don't like Brandi but something tells me she was telling the truth.

Ha Lisa sure loves her animals. We never got to the bottom of it, I suspect she did say it as a joke but she would never cop to it. Their friendship is a bit of a joke anyway, reinforced in these latest episodes in Dubai. What a bunch of fuss over nothing. I did feel sorry for LVP. She should have taken Brandi's lead and slapped Rinna after berating her for rolling her eyes. As should have Kathryn when Eileen shushed her. From the reunion preview, Rinna just continues to make an idiot of herself, everything is a contradiction and makes no sense. She blames LVP even though she has bashed Yo all season without any prompting. I've despised her both seasons and think she is horrible so I'm glad she's getting a bit of a backlash. Still liking Yolanda, Erika and Kathryn. Hope Yo and LVP can patch things up and go against Rinna. Glad Kim shows up too.

Does anyone here listen to the "Bitch Sesh" podcast???

Yes they always crack me up! They are doing New York now as well which I can't wait to catch up on. It's housewives overload at the moment with Cheshire starting and Dallas premiering tonight I believe.

HAHA they weren't very excited by the Dallas women lol

I've only watched one episode of Rho Cheshire. They really are appalling and show that money certainly doesn't buy taste. What the hell are most of them wearing? It's a very poor chavvy version of the American shows

The Potomac reunion was actually great, I'm glad the ladies stepped up for it. It was a decent first season overall, especially considering they didn't know it was a RH show during filming.

ATL had a god awful season, barely anything happened, and I'm still confused as to why Kim Fields got a peach and Sheree didn't?? The show needs a complete cast shakeup - NY S5 style pls.

The premiere or NY was great, these ladies never disappoint. Bethenny remains the queen of the show bringing the most entertainment. I like the new girl, she seems very different from the rest. Can't believe the drama is already starting next week with Dorinda.

BH is a hot mess. I love it but it's so ridiculously obvious how set up it is. Lisa Rinna is so desperate for everything, it hurts. Erika is the only saving grace this season and probably one of my favourite housewives ever. Also confused as to how and why they have Kathryn a diamond.

Melbourne is so good this season, who would have thought the Australian import would be the best out of the bunch?! These ladies do not hold back and I'm loving it!

I really, really want the damn RHONJ trailer already!

Bethenny was always the ''narrator'' of NY - the one who always explained the ridiculousness of the NY social scene and how the other women behaved. Almost like we were watching the drama and craziness unfold through her eyes.

But that was Bethenny Seasons 1-3. Bethenny Season 8 has turned into the same cluelessly hypocritical, rude bint that she used to make fun of in the likes of Ramona. Seriously, you're going to talk about the new girl and how she reminds you of your mother... when she's sitting RIGHT BESIDE YOU? You're seriously going to criticize her for being ''too skinny''? Hello, pot, kettle! You're actually going to rip into Dorinda's boyfriend John because he clearly wants to promote his laundry company? Please, there's Skinnygirl product placement in every scene she's in!

I dislike it when they show kids being bratty. I know it's trying to point out how inept Jules is as a mother but portraying the kid in that way from the start seems unfair. Having said that, Milania on NJ has been bratty for 7 years and she's always entertaining so...

I was sad to hear Sonja's daughter has been shipped off to boarding school. Despite what we see of her wacky behaviour on the show - the drunkenness, the men, the toyboys, the interns, the unorganised business ventures, the crumbling townhouse, the foreclosures and bankruptcies etc. I always got the sense that, despite never seeing her, the daughter is what kept in her in the real world when she wasn't on reality TV.

I can't deny Ramona does look great for her age. And it's a bit comforting as a viewer that the divorce hasn't brought her back to Earth. She's still the same rude, thoughtless cow as before. And I love it!

The only positive I can think for Carole is that maybe she isn't so far up Bethenny's ass as I thought. That's all I got.

Bethenny knows she's filming a reality show. She knows exactly what she's doing and at the end of the day, is just trying to make drama for a good show. She does it in a natural way though, unlike Lisa Rinna who just makes it very obvious that everything she says is producer fed / fake.

I'm loving RHONY. I'm so here for Dorinda coming for Bethenny in the next episode, even though I kind of like Bethenny.

Cheshire is off to a flying start. It looks like it could be an amazing season. Not feeling the new girls Seema and Stacey, they've obviously come on the show with the anti-dawn stance. Tanya is the star of this show, Dawn is quite funny also. I'm still not keen on Ampika. I'm liking how Misse just naturally rubs everyone the wrong way. I like Lauren - interesting we haven't seen Paul yet. Leanne turning on Dawn was a shocker but it has actually freshened the show up and made her a key player rather than Dawns side-kick. If, as it looks from the previews, they properly go at it, I think it's going to be sad like the Bethenny & Jill demise. I'm quite glad Magali isn't around either, she was way too aggressive last season.

Yeah it looks as though those two new British girls have been brought on purely to attack Dawn, a bit predictable. I quite like Misse though, and all the others really. Dawn digging deeper about the 'current' with her family was funny. I hope we get a reunion this year

I've really got into Cheshire recently. It's upped its game since for the first season which just seemed tacky and amateur compared to the American Housewives. The production values seem to rise from Season 2 onwards. I'm still hoping we get a reunion because that's a major part of the franchise - but I get why ITV don't commission them considering we get 2 seasons per calendar year.

The Housewives are very inconsistent with me though, I go through periods of liking and disliking Tanya, Ampika and Leanne. But I have usually always liked Lauren and hated Dawn.

Thank god RHONY is back and it's good, as I think I may have given up with the whole franchise if it was a dud.
The humour from New York never fails to make me chuckle, something the other women from other cities should try.
I still haven't bothered with the rest of Beverly Hills. It seems like they go from a great season to a bad one and this, from what I saw was the absoloute worst.
I have been catching up with Potomac, and it's ok. Not terrible, but not great. I even tried Dallas the other night, but I wont be going back for seconds.
Melbourne however, I am loving, Bravo need to take note.

I haven't seen any of NY season 8 yet what's been going down? Is it back on form? I've always loved it mainly due to Ramona and Sonjas craziness but it did sink a little seasons 5-6.

Is Potomac worth watching?
