Amber, you’re right — I don’t want Alexis booted out. I’m just sick of her being tortured by the ladies AND the editors. I like Lydia except for the mom storyline — I hope they dump it and let us see more of her with the girls…. And Rachael no one should be calling anyone stupid!!
Interesting comment, Amber — I hadn’t thought of Terry that way but you never know…YES, Vicki and all of us need to embrace alone time…
I hate to see it and hate to say it, but you could be right, Cynthia. Now’s the time to check out the gossip sites to see how their real-time activities match up with this, which would have been 6-8 months ago.
Interesting points, Amber…we’ll see what happens!
@Calvin, the subtitle means nothing, that is put in place by the editors. You can tell the difference between hospital scenes that have permission to film and those that don’t. The producers would have put that subtitle on as a CYA move, regardless. You’re welcome to think what you like, but I have been present in hospital scenes where they did not have permission to film and am attempting to explain ways to get around it. Cheers!
Amber, I hear you. Re Yolanda, she had to step up and stir the pot a little, otherwise she won’t stay on the show. It’s gotten to the point where you can’t judge women’s behavior by whether it would be appropriate in a non-reality-show setting. Yolanda needed to bring drama, and she did so in a way that was smarter than Marisa. It’s just that on every HW franchise there wind up being mean girl teams — ie the blondes vs the brunettes, the talls vs the smalls, you name it. It’s cocktail party cage fighting, and Lisa, Brandi and Yolanda are doing a better/funnier job of it. It can be hard to stand by an opinion when other viewers attack you because they love the other personalities so much; stay strong! xo

Nice bullet points…and Giggy is always amusing.
George, I think we’re actually on the same page. As I said throughout the video, Adrienne shocked me with how horribly she behaved. My point was only that it might have been overkill on the producers part, kind of like beating a dead horse. She’s despicable..we get it. That’s where the sympathy could potentially come from, whether people feel it or not.
I feel like Faye is the Housewives stalker, like the Kims in New Jersey…
Nice point re the non-desperate housewives! Guess we’ll see how the casting changes for next season. They have to keep some desperate people (or get new ones;) otherwise there’d be no yin to the yang.
Thanks for the nice words! Yolanda has really grown on me this season; I think she’s come into her own.
Thank you, Cynthia! I have high hopes for Orange County this year; last year they finally broke out of their ratings slump. Wonder whether Tamra and her BF will actually make it to the altar??
Good for Kim — the blogs are the fastest way to do damage control or give a rebuttal about anything that happens in a particular episode. I can only speak for myself to say that blogging wasn’t a specific contractual requirement, but HIGHLY encouraged. The thing is that you don’t upload them yourself — you send them in to an editor. Again speaking for myself, I was pretty annoyed more than a few times to find my blogs bowdlerized. When we started RHONY, twitter and facebook weren’t popular yet so the blogs were really all we had. Would you believe I didn’t join twitter until 2 years after we started?? As social networking has exploded, blogging has probably become less important, but it’s still a worthy stage if you have something to say (as long as the content only makes other cast members mad, not the network, lol!)
Very good point!
Yes, I thought they did a really good job capturing the essence of St. Tropez, and so far, so good with Paris but we’ll see next week.
Thanks, guys!! I love reading your comments!
I know — it’s arguing 101. If you don’t answer a question directly, people are going to assume that either a) you have something to hide, or b) you’re really dense….
Good question — we’ll have to see what happens next season…maybe Kim took a back seat to protect her sobriety?
