April 21, 20232 yr Author So, lots of nothing going on at the moment. RHUGT3: oh dear what a flop. This season was terrible if I'm being honest. It just came across as they wanted to continue the drama from their individual franchises. This group never jelled, but that was kind-of expected given the group we got. RHONJ: I've decided to drop the franchise this year, Danielle being a big deciding factor with this. I think my problem with this franchise is I don't really LOVE anyone. Jennifer is really the only one I liked left. I'm done with Teresa and Melissa's drama. I'll come back when it's just Teresa, Jacqueline (or Dina), Jennifer and perhaps Staub with a few others. RHOC: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. Why is this not airing? Why is there only 1 Housewives Franchise at the moment? This was filmed AGES ago. Miami is definitely the standout franchise now.
April 21, 20232 yr I agree with you Aaron that RHUGT3 was a total flop. Especially following on from the elite season that was Dorinder’s hellish getaway. I think Whitney came across pretty well and that was it. Leah came across terrible but I kind of enjoyed how rude and unimpressed she was. Gizelle was fun in places too. The rest were either irritating or never really showed up/did much. As you said, no one gelled so it became a chore to watch. Shame because the UGT franchise has been top-tier so far.
April 22, 20232 yr Love your post Aaron, lots to dissect. RHUGT3: it was certainly the weakest of the girls trips so far. I still watched them all but yeah I didn't watch it with glee like I did the first two seasons. I'd prefer ex-wives instead of wives we already have on existing franchise. That's why I was happy to see Porsha because she's been off tv for a while, not the Potomac/SLC/Miami girls who we've just seen all after the other!! I wish they didn't bring couples on too, but a single wife from each franchise. They bring the problems from their franchise into girls trip and it ruins it. RHONJ: I've actually enjoyed this year, a lot more than last year. I think it's time to let Melissa go, I'm so so so over this drama. I would demote Dolores too. What does she actually bring? I just need shake up with this cast because I'm only watching for Teresa, Jen, Jackie and Margaret. RHOC: To think this time last year the OC season 16 reunion was airing and now we haven't even got a release date is insane. I think Dubrow is definitely behind this, just like she was getting Noella fired. RHOA: Excited for Atlanta though, only two weeks away now! I wish it was less of a wait though. The RHOA and RHOC casts are both filming an episode of Family Fortunes today so OC can't be that far away as I'm guessing Bravo want to capitalise on their franchises airing/about to air.
May 16, 20232 yr Author Alright so the revamp of New York actually looks really good. I’ll be watching. RHUGT5 is just Legacy New York with Kelly, Luann, Dorinda, Sonja, Ramona and Kristen. Jill apparently really fumbled her spot. Bethenny was asked and declined. It also came out Carole is still pissed at Andy :lol:
June 9, 20232 yr Author @1666582801205055488 Impressive, but still couldn’t stomach this season and gave it a pass. Same with Atlanta. Great to have OC back finally!
June 30, 20232 yr Author Alright OC kinda slaps this season. I just wish Gina still had COVID. Taylor vs Heather feels like old school OC. Just great!!
July 4, 20232 yr Loving this season of OC, feels like a proper return to form after a few failed attempts. Having Tamra, Shannon, Heather and Vicki all on the same cast feels right. I must say though, I wish Noella stayed - yes she was over the top, but she went toe to toe with Heather last year and deserved returning much more than Gina and Emily imo. Would've loved to see how Noella would've fared with Taylor and Tamra also!!
July 12, 20232 yr @1675972505146900481 Wow. I’m quite shocked about this! Of all the couples them and the Vanderpumps seemed quite strong.
July 25, 20231 yr Author @1683847970448621569 Carlos King is doing a 2-Part Podcast with Nene. I won’t pretend to know what’s going on with Nene, Bravo, RHOA etc. Honestly, I only watched RHOA as a bulk view a few years back and removed RHOA from my PVR a few seasons back. It’s clear she’s done with Bravo, Andy and would never go back. But I do think Nene is Reality TV gold. Not sure if I agree with Season 5 really being the changing point for RHOA. By this point, Bravo has flipped the script on all franchises and housewives they bring in (think Brandi on RHOBH). I also think Nene is full of it, that Greg divorce storyline felt forced from my recollection. I felt after she came back from Hollywood (Celeb Apprentice, Glee) we never really got the true Nene back.
August 2, 20231 yr Author Soooo… RHUGT4 (Brandi, Caroline ect. filmed in Morocco) is going to air after RHUGT 5 (RHONY Legacy) Real Housewives of New York Legacy will air in December. Edited August 2, 20231 yr by Aaron.
August 3, 20231 yr Nene burnt her bridges with Bravo and Bravo/NBCUniversal are stubborn as hell. If they forgive her, they'll make her pay for it by giving her shady edits anyway. I think it's better for both parties to move on. Saying that, the Carlos interview was GREAT although her constant dismal of Kandi and Sheree feels unfair. For Season 16, I'd like to see: 1. Kandi 2. Kenya 3. Drew 4. Sheree 5. Porsha 6. Kim Z 7. Latoya Friends: Monyetta & Courtney Guests: Lisa Wu & Cynthia
August 30, 20231 yr Author Alright, what is going on with Atlanta?! Bravo just released a statement to basically stop the fans from attacking the Producers, who have been receiving death threats. I’m hearing they’re trying desperately to get Porsha back. It sounds like Kenya is on the outs as well. But I’m also hearing they may get rid of everyone but Kandi, Kenya and Sheree. God can you imagine if they fire Sheree AGAIN.
September 7, 20231 yr I really wouldn't be mad if they got rid of all the atlanta girls and started over like they did with New York.
September 8, 20231 yr Author There’s just so much going on in the Bravoverse right now. RHOA: yeah I haven’t watched this since they promoted Marlo. She’s vile - I will have nothing to do with this franchise if they keep paying her. I do think they are too heavily invested in Kandi to let everyone go, and clearly Bravo is done giving Kandi more spinoffs. They really fumbled this franchise. RHOC: they aren’t at their peak, but this season has been great in my opinion. They just need to fire Gina and Shannon and we will be GOLDEN. Emily should be the new Pseduo-OG replacing Shannon - she has been on fire this season. Jennifer was a good find, but I wish she would leave this loser. I wouldn’t even bring in anyone new next season. This group is great (minus Gina). RHONY: let’s be honest OG-RHONY is dead. No way they give us a season as good as this. It’s so odd seeing a group of, pretty much, strangers jell so well together (unlike RHOSLC). Ubah should have been a Friend Of. Erin is killing it, she isn’t my favourite but I see her as the main focal point this season. Jessel I do love, but less of her husband please. Jenna I don’t see mixing with this group at all - she seems way too reserved and private to be a Housewife. Out of everyone here I think Jenna will be the first to leave (likely, on her own accord). Sai should eat before she goes anywhere. Jury still out on Sai. Brynn - good, I can see she will bring a lot of fun and energy to this franchise. The only former Housewife from NYC that would even work on this reboot would be Tinsley. RHOSLC: giving them 3 episodes this season before I decide whether I want to continue watching or not. Last season was. Just. Awful. This season seems to be the same shit again (Lisa v Meredith, Whitney v Heather). I’m so tired. Unlike RHONY these girls are supposed to BE FRIENDS. I think we were all sold a bill of goods that have soiled. Bravocon: I’m literally in Vegas the week AFTER Bravocon. I looked at moving things around to go, but - the prices are ridiculous! Looks like Mauricio is doing Dancing With The Stars as well??
September 27, 20231 yr Author Alright, not gonna lie. I kinda like RHOSLC? Mary: horrible housewife, but amazing Friend-Of and this is where she needs to stay. Slurry Meredith: wħæńt më tew go therë wiǐ hüsbańd? and her immediately accosting the gay waiter. I’m glad we are finally done with Meredith v Lisa WOOOO!!! Monica: I honestly thought I was going to hate her and she was the one that was going to get me off this franchise, but I actually really like her. Angie Que: I don’t like Angie. WHERE IS DANNA?!? Heather: I’ll never get over Black Eye Gate. She should have been fired. She’s absolutely full of shit. She’s doing alright this season I guess. Lisa: she’s been my #1 for a while now, I was disappointed she didn’t embrace the Drag challenge, she just seems to want to stay in her own lane sometimes which is getting a little boring. Whitney: I loved Whitney season 1 and it’s been a fall from the top ever since. Her coming for Meredith last episode was… ???? Just why. I agree Meredith is infamous for “disengaging” but Jesus Christ did you have to bring in a dying child for her to engage?! Clown behaviour. That wasn’t really a ranking, just thoughts as they popped into my head. Jen was fake AF and I’m glad she’s off the show.
September 29, 20231 yr Author RHOC is done (minus the reunion). Overall, it was an alright season, definitely better than the last few seasons. It was interesting to see Heather and Tamra going for that top spot. I do still think however Bravo needs to do a bit more tweaking with this cast. In no particular order: Heather: she’s a rich bitch and that’s why I like Heather. Stuck up? Absolutely. Controlling the narrative and self serving? Absolutely. Almost every other season Heather gets away with having her nose in the air and this was one of the first seasons I feel people successfully challenged Heather. So the question now is, does she stay on RHOC? Does she move to RHOBH? I see Nicky is helping as an agent to find another house in the OC. You can likely retire on that 1 commission cheque alone. Tamra: sometimes I want Tamra to be the template for a great housewife, but sometimes Tamra has bad seasons. This wasn’t a great season for her, it’s the same ol stuff that got her fired (circulating rumours, this person said this ect) and I’m tired. She does get points for bringing in a good housewife and immediately turning on her. I’m glad she’s back, but she needs her own storyline next season (and no Ryan PLEASE!!!!) Jennifer: best newbie they’ve found in a while! Twitter seems to LOVE her. I can’t stand her Ryan and I hope they split before the next season. She held her own this season, but I also want something more outside of her relationship for next season. I think she does well in this group tho. Emily: she’s quickly becoming my favourite. I like her, I like Shane and I love her kids. Emily is great because she doesn’t harbour grudges, she can apologize or accept an apology and move on. I think a lot of people put Gina and Emily in the same bucket because they started at the same time, but I’m finally starting to see Emily rise to the top. Gina: can’t stand Gina get rid of her and her bad posture puh-LEEZ. Shannon: I’m also done with Season after Season of Gina saying Shannon doesn’t put in the effort. Shannon has NEVER made an effort with any of these woman at any point in time. I do need fun-time Shannon back however. I’m so confused on what’s happening with her and John as well, but I hope they’re splitsville and we get fun Shannon next season (however, she may be on pause maybe???) Taylor: I think the Friend Of role was perfect for her, I don’t know if I need a promotion for her next season, let’s just keep this status quo, but I do love our Bi-Queen! Vicki: kinda ate Jennifer on that trip oop. This was actually the best we’ve seen Vicki in a long time. I however have no interest in her being full time again, for now.
