Ok so got into another franchise last night.. New Jersey It so bloody good i watched the whole of season 1 within a day The way Theresa threw that table at the end of s1 was hilarious I like Danille i think she is the black sheep of the women cause of the life she leads.

I tried watching S2 online got past episode 1 and now cant find any links anywhere for the rest of the series

Yes it was sad about DeShawn, l loved the reunion show, I laughed so much at Nene when she asked about being a stripper, she didn't miss a beat.
I think Lisa attacked Kim because she got shown up as the one who blabbed about what went on in the limo.
Punch up between Kim and Lisa? my money would be on Kim reckon she as hard as nails.
Season 2 starts tuesday, should be great.

To be honest though I think Deshawn had more respect for anyone and anything than she did Kim and Sheree.

I really liked her but the problem is she was the only woman on the show with the money to support the 'Real Housewives' lifestyle and therefore didn't need to play the game the way the show wanted. She obviously wasn't a fan of Sheree or Kim but at the same time wasn't interested in arguing the toss... she'd just brush them off as the nobodies they were.

Although she didn't say much during the reunion I did love her 'So what?' attitude when she did have something to say. She had all the right answers for everything... which in Andy Cohen's eyes were probably all the wrong answers.

I've tried, really tried but I can't get into Atlanta. So for the benefit of my viewing pleasure I will now give ITV2 what they deserve for not showing BH series 3 and watch it online along with NJ, OC and NY when they are shown, that is more than enough to be going on with. I have to remind myself that i do have other things to do

But ITV2 couldn't possibly have aired series 3 straight after series 2 because it hasn't even finished in the US yet.

This. I've seen so many posts across forums of people complaining about not getting BH series 3 on ITV, when it hasn't even finished airing in the US yet so I don't know why they expect that we should have it There's also loads of these housewives shows so it's a bit stupid that people are getting annoyed just because they're not showing their favourite one at the moment, personally I prefer Atlanta to BH and am glad that ITV are showing it atm.

Does anyone else feel ITV missed out big time with the Real Housewives Franchise? I mean i think the RH deserve a prime time slot on ITV 2 on a thursday imo. I hate how its on during the day and they edit so much out of it.

I think Atlanta, New Jersey and Beverly Hills all could of done well for a prime time slot anf got decent ratings i means its better then having Peter andre on your TV.

BTW if anyone has a any good links for S2 of New Jersey can you PM them to me please

The thing is it's a brought in tv show so really there is no incentive in putting it in a prime time slot over their own shows where there are promotional, marketing, income opportunities beyond just good ratings.

They have a piece of Peter Andre and can use that to their advantage, they have zero input over the activity of Nene Leakes and therefore can't really make anything out of her.

They absolutely did. I actually think they may begin to show Beverly Hills Season 3 in the Big Rich Texas Sunday & Wednesday night slot once it's finished. Because Beverly Hills has been the most successful of the franchise or so it seems anyway, a lot of people are talking about it.

Personally, I think what they should do is show the older seasons during the day and the new season at night. For Example, when OC & NJ start show the OC on Sunday & NJ on Wednesday so they are shown a few days later than the US premier.

I can't see them picking NJ up for day time TV. They'd have to bleep out ever scene, infact they haven't even been bleeping things out they just cut them out the scene altogether which is frustrating.

But yes, there is no reason why these shows can't be pulling in around 1 million viewers which is a success for ITV 2.

I'll Pm you a link for NJ just now.

NJ would properly end like a 15min show with ITV cuts

I can see ITV dont want to invest in other Channels shows but The whole Real Housewife Franchise has been a huge success and i think it will only get bigger. Its huge guilty pleasure of mine and Beverly Hills and New Jersey are my favourites now.

I know right! I don't think they'd ever show Tre, or both Joe's.

To be fair though it obviously can't be a case of not being able to make money from another show because they show Big Rich Texas when in reality I could guarantee that they'd make more, especially in advertising revenue, from the housewive franchise. If they made it clear it was an all new season anyway. Who know's the top bosses my wisen up soon enough.

These top bosses know a hell of a lot more than you or I. And the shows are scheduled where they are because that is where they make the most money.

I mean the fact ITV2 have managed to get pretty much all the franchises suggest there is no other demand for them. They've tried for years to sell Beverley Hills and Atlanta elsewhere to no avail and held out on selling them to ITV in hope of a better deal. There is no better deal out there.

You don't know that. You don't know that's where they make the most money, for all you know they could make more money in a later slot but are in earlier slots because other shows make more money in later slots.

What? And how the hell do you know how long they've been trying to sell BH & A? or how they held out on selling them to itv? Of course they'd make more money at night because more viewers tune in to TV at night. Fact.

They're most likely on during the day because their aimed at a certain market segment- stay at home mothers/housewives. Also because ITV2 need something to fill a gap in their schedule and these shows work their but that doesn't mean they couldn't work better at a later time.

None of us know. Not you nor me. We can only speculate.

I think the HW's shows are on ITV2 at the best time.
Ever hear of the saying if it aint broke don't fix it?

Yes..but it was merely a suggestion of a way to show the new season without having to wait 6months-1year later as people are complaning about not getting the new season. The repeats could be kept on itv2 and the seasons/franchises that haven't already been shown there.

Agree.


Agree. Andy probably thought Deshawn was too boring too keep.

Hmmm, not beyond the realms of possibility, there are many US shows that have been aired on UK TV within a week or even days of been shown in the US i.e American Idol, Dancing with the Stars etc. Not asking for the world but within a few months would be nice.


Jeez, people complaining, hardly. Stupid as well - bit judgmental and rude don't you think? In the words of Michael Winner 'Calm Down' it's only a TV show

Anyhow, for some that want to keep up todate with whatever series instead of waiting years for the UK to catch up - I am more than happy to watch online.

Over and out ........

Bad news tally luann has pretty much confirmed she's back for the next season of New York..

And he was right.
They brought in Kandi who was a refreshing change as she made her own money and then in season 3 we get Phaedra who is brilliant. Atlanta is the franchise that keeps getting better with every new addition to the cast.

I like Luann.
NY was a fave of mine but without The Zarin it's not as good. Still got crazy eyes though, so as long as she's back, I'll continue watching.

My point was, people are complaining because they aren't getting their daily fix of BH anymore and wanted the new episodes - which wouldn't have been possible.

I totally get the frustration though. You get into a show and watch all the episodes back-to-back and then have to make do with watching at normal broadcasting pace once you've caught up. I had that last year when I first began watching New Jersey online. I then seeked out other cities to get hooked on in between the waiting.

I do agree with previous points made, however. ITV2 could air brand new episodes of RH days after the US in a primetime slot. Bravo usually have 2 RH seasons running at the same time. That's only 2 hours a week which they promote as a RH night or something. At least fans would get to see these episodes unedited instead of having to trawl the internet to find a poor quality video. The current daytime slot could stay as it is for repeats.

I loved NY until they replaced the cast. Last season was good but below par compared to previous seasons. I like Luann but since Jill left she hasn't really seemed into the show at all. In my eyes Jill Zarin was RHONY so I'll always be biased where she's concerned. I like Ramona, not Sonja though, I want her gone. I'll watch the next season no doubt but if it doesn't get better then I'm out. I really hope they bring Jill back for the next season though.

The UK Channels can get shows from the U.S and air them a week after the U.S i mean look at the Walking Dead.

If ITV put these shows on at 9pm i think it would get decent ratings for them. people love car crash Realty TV and RH is one of them

Btw i am loving New jersey its now my 2nd favourite out of the RH franchises after BH.

'Is B*tch better'

I could never see Andy Cohen admitting he was wrong and bringing her back. Here's a video of Andy's interview with Jill from a few months ago - http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/p...d=4kezi75wuud6 They discuss her getting fired from the show and her opinions on Season 5. It's quite interesting, even if she does come across as an overbearing narcissist.


'That's e-f***ing-nough!'

One my favourite moments from the last NJ reunion was this:
Jacqueline: ''Kiss my ass!''
Teresa: ''... kiss my t*tties.''
Jacqueline: ''What, your big hard old fake ones?''

Yeah I know, I seen it and she recorded it as well which didnt go down well. Was all a bit suspicious that hers was pre-recorded and no one else's was/is. However If the powers above Andy tell him to get her back he'll have to.

I remember that! That was hilarious! New Jersey certainly know how to go there, it's comical when they do too! However the top two from the franchise for me has to be kim Richards 'your a slut pig' LOL! And Teresa's 'prostitution whore'
