So Andy has said Danielle wont be returning to NJ for s5

http://allthingsrh.com/andy-cohen-ta...turn-to-rhonj/

It annoys me that she wont be in this season, i actually miss her drama im sick of the Teresa vs the whole cast! At least with Danielle is was sometimes stupid petty arguing but she really brought in the drama.

But i think it could also be Caroline have the power with the producers cause i heard somewhere that she would of quit if Danielle returns. I personally do not care for caroline and would rather see her go. S5 sounds great but i think for sure at least half of the season will be bashing Teresa *yawn*

But i think also Andy clearly has his favourites its so obvious when the reunions happen on who's side he is on. Which is wrong for a presenter i know it must be hard to keep neutral but with him now you can tell he makes sure they know he does not like that person, you can tell with the way he talks to certain housewives i.e Teresa NJ, Kim ATL etc.

The last few episodes of Atlanta season 3 were great! I know I say this every time I post on this thread, but I actually despise Kim so much I never felt this strongly about her in season 1 and 2, I think since Tardy For The Party she's just become really up herself and horrible. Things like her bringing her own wine to the wedding because Cynthia's won't be up to her standard, and saying how she predicts Cynthia and Peter's marriage will be over in a year as they walk down the aisle. The fact that she leads such a ridiculous life and her career as a 'popstar' is pathetic makes it all even worse. It's annoying that she's got such a great life nowadays, as I really don't think she deserves it I do love watching NeNe and Kim's relationship however, I love the way they're the best of friends for ages, and then one tiny thing sets them off and they have a massive fall out. It seems like they're usually great friends for the former part of the season, and then they have a massive fall out towards the end I don't understand how they can ever become friends again after the fights they have, but somehow they always do Overall I thought season 3 was amazing, I've always enjoyed Atlanta but it definitely seems like this was the season where it really reached its peak. Looking forward to the reunion now, hopefully it's better than the S2 reunion

I agree with all you have said NiallDEE. Whilst Kim may be good telly, I do wish she could be challenged more about her awful behaviour. She is aways taking shots about the others and being quite horrible. Taking wine to the wedding and seeming to want to parade Kroy there was typical of her wanting it to all be about her and not seeming to care about others feelings. The "too cool for school" attitude she had when people asked about her relationship with Tracy showed me how bad she was. She had discussed the relationship in a magazine yet when others asked she acted as though they were being so tiresome and reactionary even though the questions were not intrusive.

I am not always sure about NeNe, but when it comes to a fight between her and Kim, I am Team NeNe. If (as Kandi pointed out) NeNe had physically harmed Kim then why go back to being friends. Kim is a user, imo, but sadly good telly and so gains from her selfish nasty ways.

I still think she'll be back for a cameo. I think he is trying to throw everyone off sent to get a big OMG moment when she returns.

I agree about Andy being unprofessional. It's so obvious who his faves are/were (Bethenny NY, Nene ATL, Lisa BH) and who he didn't like. (Jill NY, Kyle BH, and the two you mentioned.) It's funny because the ones he doesn't like are always the ones at odds with his faves...he just lets his personal opinions get in the way too much. His favoritism was definitely most notable at the Season 3 Reunion of NY when he went in on Jill hard, there was just no need...even Bethenny stepped in to stop him! He is irritating as hell though.

To be honest I've always got the feeling that secretly his real favourite is Phaedra.

But he doesn't need to stroke her ego in the same way the likes of his cashcows Nene, Bethenny and Lisa need

Possibly of ATL, but overall? Definitely not. He ranks Bethenny the highest by a country mile and then it's Lisa.

Apparently Taylor has been downgraded to a friend on BH but who knows what's true. There are so many stories flying around. It's irritating that Bravo don't just say who's in, out or demoted.

A lot of people on other sites reckon we will get the NJ promo between now and May 2nd... I can't wait!

Hmmm maybe.

I still think the favourable treatment they get is because they're the cash cows who play the game and are motivated by upping their brand and passing the 10% over to Bravo.

Where the love for Phaedra is pure camp icon adoration.

Also I don't think he's that impressed by Kenya and her borderline homophobic behaviour.

The Walter thing was bad enough but to then start throwing AIDS around in her insults?!

Also I think next weeks show shows clips of her suggesting that Porsha has been going round saying Cynthia and Nene are lesbians.

Yeah, I read that it is the ones who bring the most drama and who are definitely safe for next season. However one of them are always his faves and his hates. I've emboldened his hates from your list. (or who I think they were), I'm not sure about the OC cast though.

I tend to find in OC Andy definitely sides with Tamra on everything: she's never called out despite being the biggest b#tch on the show!

The biggest shock of RHOA S3 reunion had to be that Cynthia is 43 I genuinely thought she was about 30! She looks amazingly well for her age, especially when you compare her to Kim who is 11 years younger I loved Phaedra at the reunion as well, starting to see why everyone loves her now

I've just discovered the first 4 seasons of NY are on Netflix now. Hopefully the other franchises will be added over time.

I'm really quite pleased that so many are beginning to really like Atlanta.
I know Sassy, myself and other RHoWives junkies have been wittering on for ages how good it gets, but I was afraid you would think we were nuts, especially as the first season wasn't anything special. It really does get better each year,

There's an episode on on Wednesday which I've never seen - entitled "Before They Were Stars" about the Atlanta women back in the day.
So we get to see mini Phaedra, mini Nene and mini Kim before their egos exploded. Cant wait! I don't think Sheree will have changed at all. She is the most talentless, delusional shrew who is always singing her own praises, and I reckon that's built into her DNA. I really cant stand her.

Season 4 starts airing on Friday ( I'm enjoying watching them again, not something I could say about many of them). The only fly in the ointment is the debut of Marlo *shudder*. She is absolutely awful and I'm glad they brought in "Gone With The Wind Fabulicious Kenya to replace her in Season 5. She brings CRAZY to a new level and, hopefully that'll air straight after S4.

Enjoy.

Just seen the new episode of Miami.
I am loving this series more and more as it goes on and to think I almost gave up on it.

Quoted for truth! Im so glad people are really getting into Atlanta and enjoying it. It really is the best of the franchise by a country mile. As tally says, if anything it gets better and better.

Im a bit miffed I missed the Season 3 reunion on ITV2. I quite fancied watching it again, thats the one they filmed at the Aquarium, and I remember being totally distracted by the whales, etc that were swimming along behind them in the tank!

Definately going to catch the "Before they were stars" ep aswell. I dont remember watching that. Season 4 is a good season, but just wait till you meet Marlo. There are no words to describe the woman, horrendous wont cover it! If ever there was a woman desperate to get a spot on the show its her. Thank God they didnt bring her back for Season 5, thats when we get the totally loony, but absolutely brilliant Kenya She is dynmaite, and (Gone with the Wind) fabulous to watch

Just seen the new episode of Miami.

Glad your enjoying it. I think I may have been in the minority on this, but Season 2 Miami for me was brilliant. I really found myself loving it aswell. It was 1000x better than season 1, and Im so glad its coming back for round 3! Im more interested in the new season of Miami than I am in NJ, and that starts in a month! and to think, Once upon a time NJ was my fave!

RHOA Reunion-Part Two, Kandi having a crush on Kim...that's new. Andy shouldn't have mentioned AJ, he knew how Kandi would react. Kim and the Kandi's song royalties. I think Kim's lying when she says she doesn't know how much the song made. She spends a lot of money and has to keep track of her finances. Or she pays someone to do it. Agree about Kroy's NFL salary that's not going to be enough.

As soon as Kim was told by her lawyer than she didn't have to pay Kandi, Kim chose not to. Can't believe Kim could make excuses about keeping the money. How can Kim say it's not about the money. She took Kandi's cheque back from her and has kept every dollar. Kim said: "I'm looking like I didn't pay Kandi, and I hated the ring didn't mean a thing" Kim, you didn't pay her and you did hate the song. If Kim feels like she deserves to have the money she should just admit it. It's obvious that she wants Kandi to work for her for free because they're friends. Poor Pheadra having to talk about Apollo's conviction. With Pheadra by his side Apollo's safe from gossip and critics.

So the new girl in OC, Lydia, has publicly stated Alexis can't possibly call her treatment bullying because she signed up for it! What a twisted logic - if a battered wife goes back to her husband would she refuse to call it abuse? That's an extreme example I know but think about it.

I don't know if it's bullying or not, all I know is their behaviour towards her is atrocious. Funny how a word becomes the focus in all this rather than the behaviour.

Hopefully for Lydia, she won't live to regret a comment like that when she's the target. She might see things a little differently then.

NJ's Teresa has filmed a one-on-one interview with Andy Cohen. I can't wait to see that!

I can't either. Lets hope he's not an asshole to her like he is at the reunions.


Well guys, I know I said I was going to watch Atlanta, and I went to but......I watched Miami Season 2!

I loved it. It has such a different feel compared to the other shows. I like them all except for Lea and that drag queen, ugh. He was horrible to Marysol but her other friend (Lordes maybe?) who defended at her Lisa Pliners shoe party was fabulous! So posh and disgusted by everything. I like Joanna but there is something that doesn't make her fit in with the show, not sure what though. I have a soft spot for Marysol, she's lovely and Mama Elsa is something else! What a hoot!

I will defo watch Atlanta at some point though. Will, probably leave my opinions later if I get round to the OC which just seems unbearable at the moment. For the ones who claim Alexis isn't being bullied because she 'signed up for it' and is being paid, well...you sign a work contract and are paid for it does that mean it's correct for your boss and other colleagues to bully you? of course not. It's the same thing. She is an employee of Bravo and is there because she needs the money, the same reason everyone else goes to work.

RHOA- Before they were famous. Interesting seeing Cynthia and Kandi's rise to fame. Shame they didn't show Sheree and Pheadra's and although Lisa's not on the show, her back-story seems interesting as well. Interesting to hear Nene talking about her parents. Nene's more like Kim than she thinks she is. In her own words Nene was a single parent working as a stripper. Then she met Gregg, who called himself "Big Daddy" at the time. Gregg at the beginning treated Nene the same way Big poppa treated Kim. The only difference was Kim had a happier upbringing than her and Gregg was [assuming] he was single and married Nene instead of stringing her along.

Nene said to Gregg in an argument that she met Gregg when "he had nothing" but going by what her friends said on the show, Gregg was the breadwinner as he said on the radio "interview" It's strange that someone who's been working all her life like Cynthia would get involved with Peter and get into financial trouble trying to help him out. Maybe when they first met Peter was quite well off, or he could have been pretending to be.

I thought that the recession eroded much of their wealth and lifestyle for some of them. Althought still haven't figured out what happened to Cynthia's money??
