I've been watching RHONY, RHOC & RHONJ.

The New Jersey girls always strike me as jealous of Teresa's success with her cook book. I can imagine if she hadn't included anything about them at all in her book, then they would have a problem with it. So because she mentions them, there's inevitably a problem. Caroline irritates the hell out of me for her sanctimonious, bulldog attitude to not only her family but anyone who dares to get close to someone she loves (Danielle Staub anyone?) and the fact that quite a few of her siblings (including Dina) no longer speak to her just speaks volumes to me.

I can't help feel quite sorry for Teresa having to put up with Joe's idiocy regarding his legal issues. The fact that he may be going to prison is weighing heavily on her mind but instead of sitting there like a victim, she is out working and trying to financially support her family. I have a feeling if she had been more victim-like then Caroline would have embraced her with open arms. As it is, I don't think she can win with her no matter what she does.

Melissa and Joe Gorga are now going through financial difficulties with their second home (featured on the show) getting repossessed, despite this week a segment sowing a huge building they just purchased with them running around it saying "haven't we done well?" to each other. If they were a little more honest about things then I may have warmed to them a bit more. Don't get me started on Melissa's "singing" career either. Cloud cookoo land.

The OC and Vicky's controlling nature rears it's ugly head for the 8000th time. I'm not surprised Tamra isn't as close to her as she once was because no one can call her on her hypocrisy without Vicky going into meltdown. I think her daughter got married on the sly just to prove a point to Vicky that she is not to be controlled and it's her life. What is the woman's obsession with being seen to be working all the time?

I didn't like the way they ganged up on Alexis at dinner either and the new girl just irks the hell out of me with her frozen, joker face, acting like she's above everything and everyone. You're on reality TV love, you're not starring in a hollywood movie, get over yourself. You're no better than Alexis. The way she attacked Alexis for being superficial whilst living in a 20,000sq foot home, wearing the latest designer fashion, married to a wealthy plastic surgeon was a tad laughable.

Also liking that Tamra and Gretchen have buried the hatchet and are pretty close now. I don't get the friendship envy with a lot of these shows. It happens in all of them. "You can't be friend with her if you're friends with me." These are all grown women with children

The RHONY started and I wasn't sure if I was going to watch now that Alex and Simon are gone (couldn't care less about Jill Zarin and co.) but tuned in out of curiosity. Same old Luann and Ramona going at each other's throats. The new girls seem okay although Heather is grating on me already. Ramona can be so rude to people but it makes fantastic television. Not sure I'm going to religiously watch this season as it's lost a lot of it's spark since Bethenny left and it feels like it's had it's day.

Same here tally, havent been able to find it either, as of yet. And Yeah, Im so bored of NJ right now ( this makes me sad cos I used to love it, season 2 and 3 were fabulous entertainment! )

Caroline is vile this season, her attitude absolutely stinks, and yet again it was all lets hate on Tre week. seriously? do they do nothing else but talk about her, it seems not. Her brothers wedding was lovely and very sweet, and everyone was fairly well behaved in general. Yet again Tre is on the cover of a magazine saying shes terrified of being poor, and yet again Caroline is seething with rage about it as the article calls her a bully. Personally, Im starting to wonder with Caroline- shes awful! I did laugh at Tre announcing that her book is on the best sellers list though, Caroline looked like she was sucking on lemons!

Over at Melissas house they are raging about the same article. Joe Gorga texts Tre again to ask her about going to therapy with him, Tre doesnt like the idea of seeing a "physical therapist" and thinks he should go with his wife. She doesnt believe in therapy which is fair enough I guess, but I think its more the fact that Juicy Joe has forbidden her to go. We also got to hear a preview of Melissas new song "Rockstar" Now I actually dont mind Melissa, but her attempts at a music career are mortifying- but hey, at least its not another love song to her awful husband at least!

It looks like its going to kick off next week btween Tre, Caroline and Jacqueline. Im just finding it hard to get interested in NJ this season, but Im still hoping itll pick up.

NY this week was good, not as much drama going on, but enjoyable. Im liking the new ladies, Aviva in particular, and also Carole. Im still making my mind up on Heather but she seems ok so far. Luann and Ramona met up to discuss the comments made about Luanns kids, as is typical Ramona is acting like a nutcase ( and by the way, is it just me, but Im really starting to think Ramona has a little "problem" she looked wired to the moon during that scene with Luann ) but they call an awkward truce and Luann remarks that she thinks shes made a deal with the devil! Also, as tally said, the new girls are finally starting to get that Luann is kind of bitter and hateful, mind you, Ramona isnt excatly a model of sanity either!

Sonja actually had me in stitches though, the way she acted around that contractor was cringetastic! He must have been terrified! She needs to sort that house out though, it seems to be falling to bits!

Havent found this weeks Tardy yet though, cant wait to watch it. Im kind of sad thats it over now, Ive loved it every week!

YEAH, Just about to watch Tardy and THE wedding. I am so looking forward to it.

Thoughts later!

Oh hell, never in a million years did I think it was possible for me to cry my way through the wedding. Mainly Kroy's fault, he was so emotional and absolutely brilliant ( and his gesture to Brielle and Adrianna had me in floods) but if you're going to watch it have some tissues at hand.

It all went off beautifully until Kim's Mum barged her way into the house ( tres expensive portaloos being beneath her contempt ) and got thrown out of the whole kaboodle. I think I would have socked her one.

I'm not going to spoil it for those still to watch it ( but Sassy, your favourite Atlanta gal is there in all her outrageousness, still Phaedra to the core ) plus an appropriate song that Kandi wrote and performed made it just perfect.

Not even Kim's 3 outfits which got tackier every time she changed, could spoil it.

I'm so sorry it's ended. I've loved it from beginning to end and even this old cynical biddy couldn't help but be bowled over by all the love and revel in the romance of it all.. The vows were moving, the ceremony beautiful and it was just awwwww.

Enjoy!



I've given up with this weeks OC. I've tried 16 different links and each one has been password orientated ( i.e. a giant scam ), a fake or has lit up my pc with red flashing lights about unsafe sites. BAH! I'll make do with the synopsis.
Thanks for your help sooty. Unfortunately it was one of those flashing red light affairs with warnings not to go there.

I'm sorry about that Tally. I think it depends a lot on your anti virus software as I seem to be okay on that particular site I sent you. Some do have warning flashes though so beware. I'll send you a link to another site I have found trustworthy in the past but again, it will depend on what level of anti virus you have as it's another file sharing site.

Oh well tally if you cried, Im deffo gonna cry! Oh God, if you had told me a year ago that any show featuring Kim Z would make me emotional, Id have laughed! Hoping to watch Tardy tonight, Im SO looking forward to it, but im so sad that its finished now

Ill post my thoughts when Ive watched

sootysoo could I be a real pain and ask you to PM me a cpl of links aswell? Id really appreciate it if you could.

Thanks Sooty. That's really kind of you. I'll try them in a mnute when I've caught up with all my online stuff. Sheesh I can prattle on the pc for hours. Thank gawd there was no internet when I was working, I'd have been sacked.

Enjoy Sassy. *Starts welling up again*.

Just started Vancouver kimkan So far I'm really enjoying it.

Ok, so I just watched Tardy, and yes, there were tears! You were so right tally tissues should be handy when watching it. It was gorgeous, it really was and Im actually so so pleased for Kim and Kroy

Kroy was wonderful during the wedding, he looked great in his outfit, and OMG his vows to Kim were beautiful, he was getting choked up saying them and you could see why. He absolutely adores her and it was written all over his face. I when he kissed the ring before putting it on her finger, it was lovely, and then when he had the girls come up to the altar and gave them rings aswell. It was gorgeous, and so bloody emotional haha

I cannot believe the change in Kim, it really is a total turnaround ( if you have watched her on RHOA for the last 4 seasons you will know what I mean ) and Im so pleased for her that she found a great guy who not only adores her, but has really taken her girls as his own. Shes done so well there and I really hope it all works out, and you know, I actually think it will!

The whole ceremony was absolutely perfect. And the wedding was stunning down to the last details, Colin Cowie you excelled!! It was gorgeous.

Of course, there had to be a bit of drama, and it came courtesy of Kims mother. How horrid was she?! I mean really! Id have slapped her round the face if she had acted like that at my wedding. I dont blame Kim chucking her out and I would have done the same, and then, you could hear her and the aunt badmouthing Kim in the bathroom, calling her an "ungrateful bitch" Im sorry, thats just beyond, its her daughters wedding she could have at least pretended to have some class! Good riddance I say, I really dont fault Kim for having them removed at all.

how good to see Phaedra there, looking fabulous and being the wonderful Phaedra we all love!! I miss watching Phaedra (note to Bravo, how about a spin off for the fab Miss parks?! Id watch, and Kim has had one, and Kandi, so I say she could easily carry it) Kandi also looked lovely and she sang her song for Kim which certainly was appropriate. Sheree was also there, as Kims bridesmaid, but she barely said a word. I guess now that she is off the Atlanta HoWives thatll be the last we see of her. Oh Well! haha

Even Kims outfits, OTT, tacky, but so incredibly her didnt bother me. As tally said, you really did just get lost in the romance of it all. All in all, what a fab end to a brilliant series, Ive looked forward to every ep. Loved it!

Just seen the latest NJ.

Caroline is such a bitch.
While Ive always been team Melissa I feel really sorry for Theresa. I would love for a Gorga/Guidice reunion where they take down the Manzo family.

While Danielle was crazy I still always felt Caroline was to blame for her exile from the group.

Theresa take her out!

Wow RHONJ is such a mess! It's hard to know where to begin really. I think i could write a whole essay about the whole situation but I'm tired so I won't lol

Teresa - Tre is obviously still hurt by the fact that Mellisa was communicating with Danielle. Was Mellisa wrong to talk to Danielle? Totally, and I don't think she will/has been able to 'just get over it'. But she should try at least to work towards forgiving Mellisa and the only reason she was tweeting with Danielle was to expose and hurt her. Also just admit that you are selling the stories to the tabloids, its not a big deal imo but it's obvious that she is.

She also had the best line of the episode 'Are these bitches really roleplaying?'

Jacqueline - I can understand why Jacq was frustrated over the tabloids stories. Her supposedly good friend was putting out articles about her (Teresa's) private life and she as her 'best friend' did not even know (If they were true or not) So I can understand why she wanted to talk

Caroline - Caroline is holding a lot of anger towards Teresa about the cookbook and I think about Dina, but she was bottling up her anger and didn't let Teresa know that she still had issues with her. It might not have had to lead to this ugly showdown but atm Teresa is to Caroline what Mellisa is to Teresa

I found this Week RHOC really boring tbh. It was trying to go with the will he/won't he propose story for Eddie and Tamra but seeing as they announced it months ago it took away a lot of the anticipation lol (They actually filmed this Bora Bora trip a few months after filming had ended ) but the 2 part finale looks amazing! I've seen a preview and Vicki goes crazy at Tamra

^^^^
Ha ha that link was so funny - Vikki looks so evil!

Why has noone mentioned Pandora's wedding on RHBH? It was fab! But oh my God I'd like to punch Kevin the wedding planner - he was so annoying.

I think a lot of us watched it US time, has it just aired on UK TV?

Kevin reminded me so much of the Martin Shore character in Father Of The Bride. I thought he was hysterical. Colin Cowie does a fabulous job, but oh gawd, his plummy ways and snobby air would drive me round the bend.

But Pandora's wedding was indeed lovely. It's just that you expected it to be classy, Kim was so white trash it's impossible to describe, yet she transformed herself and genuinely fell in love so hard, it was a joy to watch.

I never expected to be so moved, even though a lot of American boards wont give her a break....it's an act, she'll ditch him as soon as he stops playing NFL.etc etc It's p'ing me off royally. We are all capable of change so good luck and happiness to both Kim and Krroy.

As much as I hate caroline her entrance to the Tre v Jaq fight is immense

OMG, so it all kicked off in NJ the other night didnt it?! I dont really know what to say about it all. Theres so much wrong, I dont even know whats right anymore lol have to agree kimkam its a mess, of trainwreck proprtions!

I need to start with Caroline though, I utterly cant stand her anymore. Shes crazy. She so bitter and twisted its ridiculous. She needs to get over this issue she has with Tre, I agree that I dont think its all about the cookbook incident. She blames Tre for all the bad in her family and I think its a bit insane. Dina has said numerous times that her issues with Caroline have nothing to do with Teresa. But Caroline cant see the wood for the trees were Tre is concerned right now.

Teresa, I dont know whats happened, but I kind of find myself rooting for her maybe its just due to the rest of the ladies being so totally out to get her, but I really have a new found respect for Tre! Say what you like about her, but she is a worker. She doesnt sit on her ass, she gets out there and she grafts. Shes had to, clearly that loser of a husband isnt going to. The thing with Tre is she doesnt exactly articulate herself very well, and God knows she would start a fight in an empty house but I just dont think she is the devil they make her out as. She obviously has major issues when it comes to Melissa though, and then Danielle got brought up! I lost track, Melissa is contacting Danielle, Danielle contacting Melissa and now Tre is tweeting Danielle to expose Melissa
As for selling stories to the tabloids, Tre, who cares, just own it!

Tre and Melissa just need to move on from the dramas in the past and all the she said/she said business. But I dont even think thats possible now.

Jacqueline I can see where she was coming from, and I get why she wanted to sit down and talk to Teresa, but it all just went totally wrong.

kimkam I LOVE that caption you put up of Tre! The look on her face when Caroline swooped in was brilliant! I love how Caroline just happened to turn up at that point Bravo do love an ambush dont they!


Couldnt agree more tally. I honestly dont get the hate for Kim on those sites. having watched Kim for 4 seasons on Atlanta I think the change in her is plain to see. You can see how in love with him she is and I certainly dont think shes "acting" it. Good Luck to them both I say. Kroy has done wonders for Kim and i think its lovely how totally in love they both are

Thanks everyone but I can't take credit for those Gifs. They belong too http://realitytvgifs.tumblr.com/ but they have lots of HW related Gifs. Too many funny ones to post

I'm getting into this new Season of RHONY. I'm even liking Luanne a bit away from Jill. Carole is my favorite new housewife. Her blogs always make me smile One small thing though is that i'm not sure why Ramona was so aghast when Aviva said she would have to discuss with her husband that she might go across the Atlantic. It's what any responsible mother/wife would do.

A great start to the 2 part season finale of the RHOC. Heathers house is really beautiful I'm glad Tamra apologized to Jeana though and it was nice to see Kara. She was always my favorite OC kid. It's debatable if Heather did over react to Sarah and the cake. Sarah totally was wrong to do that to a special cake but it could of all been sorted had she just said sorry, but then she started to argue and try and defend herself with a really weak lie about 'blood sugar'. Total BS imo. I can't wait for Heather to kick her ass out next week!

But the big fight next week is between Vicki and Tamra and here is a portion of it. it literally left me speechless!

and the mystery of who attacked Andy at the RHOC reunion has been solved. But I'll put it in spoiler box for those who don't want to know

NJ gossip

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-mortgage.html

Yeah! I've been a bit busy but I've finally got it.Thanks so much.


Perfect. Couldn't happen to a more deluded couple, karmas a bitch yet again.

I'm going to have a HoWives fest today. It's bucketing down so I've got OC, NY, NJ and a few more Vancouver episodes to watch.

I am so sad aren't I?

If I wasnt so involved with the Vancouver ladies and trying to catch up I'd post longer remarks on this week's crop.
But here's my precis:

New York

Luanne. @ Lu . A baby? Is that just to keep your much younger man?

Ramona... "Shut Up"

Aviva....You have issues my dear,I haven't made my mind up about you yet.

Sonia... . Batty as hell, but I do like her, besides I'd never heard of a toaster oven before she came along.

Carol.....OK, no major gripes yet. I like her.

Heather..... As hard as nails. I foresee the gloves coming off very soon

New Jersey

Caroline.... BIATCH. Take your hatred somewhere else and support your daughter not just mamma's boys.

Jacqui........ Why does she have to know Tre's income. I dont discuss my bank balance with even my closest friends Why cant you be a friend if she has things she's trying to forget not blab everywhere. Except the tabloids. ~I hope they pay well, she's got 4 kids and a millstone husband weighing her down.

Melissa and Pervert.......HAHAHAHA. See Blokeypoo's link

Kathy and Rik....whatever. :yawn:

Tre minus Juicy. I'm hearting Tre more and more as her revolting brother/sister-in-law and erstwhile friends blame everything up to Climate Change and World Peace onto her. It's bash Teresa season all right. Of course you're not jealous of her Melissa, after all you'll be shacking up in a small condo soon now that you are in danger of following the Juicy's into bankruptcy. And dont you just deserve it!

Award for Line of the series Teresa "She's turned into Heckle and Jyde"

Orange County
Brilliant first part of the finale. So good to see Jeanna. She was always my favourite, but I didn't recognise Kara.

Vicki.....put the fur away. Who the hell would wear fur nowadays? Agree with all the others' scepticism about Brooks actually paying for it.He got it on rental or from a pawn shop. Face like a slapped arse, judgmental cow. Brooks is vile. But I loved Donn and hate Vicki for ditching him. (Well, I loathe Vicki for far too many things, but that's one of them)

Tamra.....OK, never going to be one of my favourites but the excitement of the Boro, Bora proposal has mellowed her for a week or two

Alexis.... GO AWAY # Mark2 And do not invite that white trash alkie to a party without clearing it with the hostess. I felt sorry for you in Costa Rica, not in OC. How can you defend the obnoxious Sarah?

Gretchen....Hasn't upset me for a long time now. Neither has she wowed. Getting a very low key edit.

Heather... EWK Going off her big time. Controlling and a sh1t stirrer. Fabuloushouse, darling-shame about your wimpy husband, pretentiousness and someone eating a bit of the bow on the cake. ROTFL, I loved that. I knowI shouldn't but....

Loved Brianna and Kara, two of the only sane OCers and they aren't even cast.

And next week hopefully we get the catight to end all catfights. Tamra can go trailer park at the drop of a hat while Vicki's face contorts into a nigh on screaming banshee when she loses it.

Hysterical. Cant wait.

How much of Vancouver have u watched Tally?

Just finished Episode 5, I'm really enjoying it. Jodi is something else isn't she?
I've got all 12 episodes, but there's a 2 part reunion I've noticed to be aired this week and next. Judging by the hype it lives up to Bravo's reunion but as Andy isn't hosting it, ( originally didn't they say he was?) at least he can be safe from being attacked!

Haha okay. i was just asking as the finale aired this week and it was amazing! I don't want to spoil it for you but it's great and as you said there is the reunion as well. it's going to be weird with no Andy

Miami's Joanna - whoever she is lol

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...n-luggage.html

Getting more and more involved with this, I'm trying to ration myself but I watched another 4 episodes last night.
It's a brilliant addition to the franchise, I wonder if they'll show it in The States or, even better, over here?

I'd have too much to say if I precised 9 episodes.but is it Mary's house right on the coast? That tennis court with the glass walls is beyond fabulous. I would be green with envy if I still played as much tennis as I used to ( I'm making the most of this one week's break to try and catch up as I've been glued to the French Open/Queens and it's Wimbledon fortnight starting next Monday)

Jodie and her daughter's relationship fascinates me-what a dynamic and they've picked a really good cast. There's not one that's not watchable. I'm delighted they've renewed it for a second season. Hopefully I'll make it to the finale by this evening. I do have a small things like housework/dog walking/washing to do.

I'm so glad you brought this to our attention kimkam and would recommend it to all other HoWife addicts.

Just been catching up on NY and The OC.

I managed to find the last ep for The OC eventually, and I really enjoyed Tamras proposal in Bora Bora, God its beautiful there. I want a holiday there right now please! I liked that he put the ring in the clam, I thought it was quite sweet. I also liked Tamras anticipation about when he would propose, you knew it would happen, but it was fun watching it unfold.

So, part 1 of the finale got off to a good start didnt it?! Cant wait for Tamra v Vicki in the next ep! Looks like its going to really go off.

Vicki needs to get a damn grip of herself and see what a loser she is shacking up with "Oh look at my fur, look at my fur, Brooks bought it" Please. Totally agree with tally, Vicki its on a rental and I wouldnt be surprised if your the one who ends up paying for it. Just to save face. She really is a piece of work is Vicki. Brianna and Tamra totally have the measure of Brooks and Vicki is far too stuck in her own little world to see it. Its going to blow up in her face, and I cant say ill feel sorry for her when it does.

Tamra, Ive surprisingly really warmed to this season (Costa Rica aside) Ive never really liked her, but shes very watchable and shes just so trashy, its kinda fabulous Shes hilarious.

Alexis, well, where to start. She needs to get a grip aswell, shes as fake as they come, and yes, I felt bad for her in Costa Rica, but she really doesnt elicit sympathy for very long at all! Cant believe she turned up with trailer trash Sarah to the party, without mentioning it to Heather first. So rude.
I actually found the cake thing pretty funny! Just the look on Heathers face, and then when she slipped into mommy mode "go and calm yourself down and start over again" Having said that, Sarah is total white trash and Id have been furious aswell if it were my party and my cake!

Heather I do kind of like her, but Ive gone off her since the start. She seems to have jumped in to the role of sh*t stirring and talking behind peoples backs a bit too easily! Beautiful house though, its stunning

It was nice to see Kara at the party, I always liked her, and I did laugh when she put the rain coat on to annoy Tamra. Still not sure why Jeana was there though I guess it was just to have that awkward "reconciliation" with Tamra, but really. When she left the show she said she didnt want to be part of it all anymore, yet, ever since she cant stay away!

Anyways, great start to the finale. Roll on part 2, and the reunion should be LOTS of fun!!

Enjoyed NY aswell this week, Im enjoying this season so far and think its shaping up to be a good one.

OMG at Luann sitting down with Victoria to discuss having another baby! really Lu?! have to agree with tally I think this is just to keep younger man Jac interested!

Ramona really isnt happy about not being invited on the London trip is she?! Her face was a picture when Aviva asked if she had been invited aswell. Her faux sincerity/apology to Heather at the end was cringe! She was just shamelessly trying to get Heather to invite her to London. Typical Ramona!

Sonja is kinda crazy, but I do enjoy her. I thought it was funny when Heather invited her to London and quick as a flash she was gushing about "how connected and well known" she is

Out of the new girls, I think I like Carole the most so far, she seems quite savvy and Im pretty sure shes inwardly mortified by these girls frequently! Aviva seems ok, but really, shes scared of heights, flying, machinery, shes claustraphobic. But shes kind of endearing, and I loved Sonjas face when she told her that her hubby doesnt wear a ring. Oh well, at least Sonja hasnt slept with this one Aviva! Heather Im not sure about yet, I can see her really letting go soon though, and she really isnt sold on crazy Ramona at all haha

Oh Im so gonna have to get started on the Vancouver Housewives, I remember kimkam saying how good it was before, and Ive heard such good things about it. Ive got so many things Im trying to watch at the min, so Ive been trying not to add to it Ive got a week off work soon though so I think ill get into Vancouver then! Sounds like its fun.


Oh Ive heard about her, shes one of the new ladies on Miami. I really didnt enjoy the first season, Soooo boring :yawn: But Bravo seem to be making an effort to turn it around, I hope they get it right this time and that its good. Im pretty curious to see it, Miami is such a fun city, and really is perfect for a Housewives show. Lets hope they get it right with season 2!
