Are the ratings for NJ that bad? How have the others fared?

NY has changed immeasurably but I actually think it's better than ever atm. Not sure how season 9 will fare but the season 8 cast was the perfect balance for me. There'll always be a bit of me that'd like to see Jill back though...

Can anyone tell me what Dallas is like? Not sure whether to bother with it.

Had a binge on BH and I'm now fully up to date with season 6. Love Eileen and Rinna's bond - they have each other's backs through everything which is refreshing. They've been great additions imo. Bit fed up of the LVP manipulative stuff though if I'm honest. Would love to see a new villain emerge in S7 (which I think may well be Rinna) not sure that'd work...
New Jersey is doing badly when you consider it used to be the second highest rated housewives show and now its second last only behind Dallas, which is the only one I haven't finished.
Has anyone else watched Auckland?

Love Auckland, cannot recommend it highly enough! Same vein as Melbourne which was amazing too!!

I so wanted Cheshire to be a great franchise because of the U.K. connection, but I'm embarrassed by their behaviour. Be my friend, I thought we were friends, we can't be friends etc... All the parties and events are so contrived. Dawn is looking increasingly like a drunk (the slurring convo last night). I'm not too convinced Tanya's behaviour is entirely based on hormones and adding Sam Reece was too Towie, ex on the beach for my liking.

They need to shake things up if they want another season!
Is it just me or is the Dawn, Misse and Tanya relationship so fake! Tanya's nose is so out of joint she isn't the young pretty one anymore.
My favourite is Lauren.

Dawn's a thug - ask Sinitta
Tanya's real personality shining through, rather bitchy and needs alcohol to enjoy herself. She was arguing like a teenager at the last rerunion.

Yeah, agree that Dawn's, Missy's and Tanya's friendship is fake.
I like Lauren too. I think Seems and Stacey's friendship is real.
What the frig was all that fawning over Sam in last week's episode, out of anyone Taylor could have had.

I never knew that about Dawn!!
I do like Stacey too and she seems the most normal out of them all, but just with a huge house!!

How much of a wannabe route has it went down with that Sam Reece just happening to be Taylor's boyfriend and his mum and dad wanting to be on screen too.

And how many times does Leanne move house??

Well I'm enjoying Auckland far more than I thought I would from the trailer. Seen the first 3 eps, Anne is my absolute favourite, love her cat sanctuary, and had to laugh at her wearing fur to the charity event. Angela is just out of her depth, I feel a bit sorry for her, she's clearly going to alienate everyone by the end.
OC is good, I was completely on Meghan and Shannon's side, Heather is as awful as ever and Kelly is just annoying, she was so happy to fit in with the gang and throw her actual friend under the bus.
Cheshire looks good next week, I feel I watch a different show to everyone else though, I really like Dawn and totally get her, ha, can't stand self-obsessed Ampika and don't understand her problem with Dawn, or Stacey's. Plus Stacey yelling at that poor driver in the tacky car was not a good look.

I watched the itvbe oc episode where Vicki's mum died today, I found it really uncomfortable viewing that they continued to film her
I found some of the scenes a bit off. Especially the part where Shannon brought Vicky some calming medication and Vicky asks 'will it bring my mommy back?' I felt she was laying the grief on with a trowel at this point. I know people react to grief in different ways but I felt that Vicky was using her mother's death for dramatic scenes, she should never have allowed herself to be filmed while receiving such devastating news, and the fact that she did says to me, she'd do anything for attention. If my mother died the last thing I'd want is a tv camera in my face filming my shock and heartbreak.

So that waster Sam Reece has already split with Dawns daughter on Cheshire! Didn't see that one coming! 😒

Finished NY season 8 and I think it may just be my favourite EVER, just popping season 3. Jules definitely isn't comin back by the sound of it but who do we think will be back for Season 9?

Any confirmation on the BH cast yet?

There have been a few rumours going around.

Apparently Vanderpump, Kyle, Erika, Lisa R, Eileen and new girl Dorit are signed full time.

Producers are happy with just sticking with these six but they're not adverse to adding one more full-time wife if filming warrants it... only one mind. Camile, Kim and other newbie Eden Sassoon are all filming and could grab the spot, Camile is less likely as the plan is to re-introduce with a view to building a proper full-time comeback next season, so it's more between Kim or Eden if one of them gives them the material to work with. Eden will be a friend of at the very least.

Would LOVE a Camille comeback!! I do wonder where they will go with storyline for S7 with that cast though... I think Rinna will be the villain of the series...

All the rumours about the NY cast and Dorinda being dropped, I sincerely hope aren't true. She is the one person who stands up to B**** Bethenny and imo the best addition to any franchise in YEARS. I'd love all of them back (bar Jules who's already quit) with a new HW friends with LuAnn or Jill Zarin returning.

I think the 'Dorinda fired' stuff is just the usual camp Bethenny stuff they 'leak' to certain blogs. The same way random baseless crap has been leaked about Luann and Jules, over the past week or so.

Anyone know when the next series of Housewives in Beverly Hills is showing please?

And where online can catch-ups be shown? Can't find anything on Youtube anymore.

So we might be seeing the trailer for Atlanta this week.

Most sources are saying that the cast are Phaedra, Cynthia, Kandi, Porsha, Kenya and Sheree. The new chick Lena didn't make the cut as a peach holder and will just be a friend.

By the sounds of it the big juicy story for this year is gonna be Porsha v Kandi.

Watching RH of OC and find Shannon is really, really grating on me. I know this is a bad thing to say but I'm not surprised her husband had an affair. She must just drain the life out of him. I think their marriage is doomed no matter how many counselling sessions they have. They all get on my nerves at different times but Shannon is just awful

David is completely creepy-pathological liar. If she is a monster, he created it. I think she should ditch him, she would feel and be a totally different woman. It's the distrust making her nuts, bet it's not his first affair.

Sheree is hilarious. Her one liners are everything!


When you compare all the housewives shows, you can absolutely see why Atlanta is and always has been the series which gets the highest ratings!


Cheshire is really boring.

So looking forward to Atlanta coming back, however the trailer doesn't look that great.
This means the rhobh trailer must only be a few weeks away. Keeping my fingers crossed this year redeems itself from last years shambles.

Watching the OC right now and agree about Shannon but just can't deal with the shrieking and screaming and false gagging. So annoying.

Cheshire is the most fake to me, they do nothing other than have parties/launches.

Dallas is the most boring (with Potomac a close second), apart from anything else they all look the same and I can't tell who is married to who. Hhhmmmm maybe its more interesting than I thought

There are a couple of series I need to catch up on - are they on you tube? x

This weeks New Jersey was up there for craziness that matched a Posche Fashion Show or a Gorga family christening! Seriously, Jacqueline's mental state has been called into question a lot in recent years but she really earned her Wacko Jacko nickname this week.

She obviously has such a problem with Teresa and Melissa being on better terms. It's as if she's paranoid that they're going to turn on her that she ends up picking fights with them because she fears an attack coming.

These people can't drop anything. Jacqueline dragged up the 2011 Posche Fashion Show debacle yet again (the one where Teresa allegedly tried to out Melissa as a stripper). Teresa responded to this by mentioning that she believes it was Jac who set that scenario. To be fair to Teresa, I did read stories online years back that one of the main producers of the show at that time, a woman named Cat, disliked Teresa and was very pally with Jacqueline. Producers put Teresa in the position of meeting the man who said Melissa worked for him, making Teresa look like she was setting Melissa up. Teresa, knowing Jacqueline's close relationship with Cat, believed Jacqueline was in on this whole thing to make her look bad and cause further problems with her family on the show.

Unfortunately for Teresa, she can't break the fourth wall on the show by going into detail about that - so ends up looking like she's irrationally accusing Jacqueline of some illogical situation.

Anyway, back to today... Jacqueline calls out Melissa and Teresa's relationship for being phoney. It may be phoney but if they have to fake it till they make it then so be it. I'd much prefer to see them get along than watch them sniping again (we had 4 friggin' seasons of that!). Jacqueline, I'm sorry, but I'm not buying this ''poor me'' act she tries to play after a big argument with someone. She clearly thrives on drama... And throwing a dig at Teresa for chasing Danielle through that country club? She was doing the same thing shouting about her court records!

Siggy and Delores continue to be great additions. I enjoyed Siggy's tearful rants. But the highlight of the episode was when all the women were screaming at each other in that restaurant and then they cut to Delores down the end of the table who's ordering her meal!

My favourite line of the last episode was Jaqueline's comment about everything Teresa had done, 'She flipped a table, she threatened Danielle, she pushed a man into a chair', then it cuts to Teresa pushing Andy Cohen into his seat at the reunuion. Hilarious.

Hmmm I dunno if that's the reason.

Jac has gone nutso but I totally think it's over the fact Melissa who was up the arse of Jac and Kathy and Rosie for the best part of 5 years is suddenly acting like they're irritating distractions and has pretty much dropped everyone to be suddenly bffs with Teresa. Kind doing what every single one of Melissa's (former) friends who have appeared on the show said she does. Yet like the snake she is she's happy to let Teresa and Jac act the crazy ones, while she just coldly sits there.

I'm not buying the Teresa/Melissa new found friendship but I am kinda hoping this is just Teresa playing the long game. This season Melissa has totally alienated herself from everyone except Teresa. She's dumped her former clique and you can tell Dolores and Siggy ain't feeling for her. This is pay back and there's no-one left to have her back, Teresa just needs to pick her time wisely.

Agree, but Vicky really is mental i think.

Was that who they were all going on about being handsome a few weeks ago?

Yeah, i go from feeling sorry for her to hating her over the top moods. The bit in the golf cart where they went past everyone was comedy gold though.
