I'm shocked they'd kick out a NY episode over a piddling Below Deck! I mean, apples and oranges here. I'll admit here that I do watch BD and this season has been horrific to watch. Boring, boring, boring. No way in reality would Bravo pick BD over a NY episode unless it was an emergency in my opinion. I think it must be the awful reviews NY is getting and hopefully they're retooling some episodes to give us way less Leah and a more fun Eboni. Please Bravo!

I like the outside of Rinna's house,too. And like the back garden. But the inside looks like someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing tried to do 'Tuscan'. The first season she was on and was inside the house didn't she mention that it was Harry's house and he didnt want her to change things? And to the ones of you who know law-- if Erika has hidden assets and divorces Tom, would she be able to keep those assets as long as no one rats her out? And could she then turn on him and give evidence against him to get herself off in a deal? (I've heard just enough to know I don't know enough)

Me,too! What a boring immature cast. I've never fast forwarded so much in any season of the Below Deck franchise. I can't believe they couldn't find someone more interesting and better looking than Gary and JL to be the love interests. And even though the guests seemed to really love Natasha's meals, they always looked so unappealing to me. Sydney so desperate for attention or affection was sad to watch. Just a bad season.

How did Leah get cast with this group when she so clearly does not fit? I think it's because she's friends with Madonna's daughter Lourdes. (which tells me all I need to know about Lourdes...) Andy must be salivating at the thought of a Lourdes sighting on the show-- and especially a MADONNA! I'm afraid we may never get rid of Leah.

I just rewatched all the seasons from 1 up to the last one. I couldn't make myself rewatch the last one because of Leah. I was praying she'd insult Andy or do something that would get her fired from the show and not be on this season but instead we have The Leah Show again. The other seasons were watchable but not this season. And I'm a hardcore Housewives fan. But I won't watch this mess of a season. I never thought I'd say it after she was so over the top mean to Tinsley, but I miss Dorinda. Heck, I'd take any past housewife over Leah-- even what's her name with the one leg and she was a piece of work!

Sorry about this post. After thinking it over, I didn't want to quote the disgusting thing Leah of The Real Housewives of NY had to say-- even though I think she'd fit right in with some of this yacht crew. So I deleted it. Sorry again!

I don't think Natasha can up her game-- I think what we've seen is her best, sadly. She is not entertaining to watch at all and never learns from her mistakes. She just puts a wall up of ''No, I'm right!" and wont listen. Frustrating! Also, that proud face she puts on as she's creating one of her dessert masterpieces on the table is just head shakeable. J.L. is gross to me. It's not his height (I have a son who's 6'5" who the girls seem to like very well) It's his personality and he looks like a monkey or something. (am I being awful?!) I'll never understand how Dani, who I originally liked, can stand him. Then when she was kissing and loving on him after hearing they 'think' it's just chafing made me sick. How could the captain allow JL to slide across that table and let the woman lick on JL not knowing for sure he didnt have an STD?! Bleeeeech! The whole show is making me ill.

Wow the voices in this group! For the first time I couldn't immediately tell when Daisy was talking. It sounded like Marge Simpson's sisters with their super ciggie voices yakking away.🤣

He was!🤣 I didn't realize who was speaking at first when the camera showed him-- he WAS Prince at one point with his lips pursed and looking out from under those cascading forehead curls, lol! Production missed their chance to feature Bill and Jennifer at that party since he was drunk and trying to play Prince up. He's actually funny and not destructive when drunk! I'd rather see more of them and less of the Joe/Melissa acting drama. This might have spiced up an otherwise boring finale.

The new season is boring with Leah dominating every scene so I'm rewatching some of the older seasons and began watching Season 7 when Dorinda first came on as a regular. I miss this Dorinda!! What happened to her? How sad. I ended up hating her by her last season when she became so fixated on tormenting Tinsley. But with this years cast I'd take a coked up Dorinda with her sweaty gansta boyfriend and a little something white on her bottom lip any day over dull Leah who is a try hard cool girl. I miss the past seasons! 😭

Not impressed. So far she seems to want to be offended. She's probably nervous since she's new to the show. Maybe she'll loosen up as the season continues. I will say that she's pretty and yet I'm sure she's one of the sharpest tools in the shed. 😉

From people I've seen or known, someone with very serious eyes to where they even have a permanent frown crease is usually a bad tempered person. Andy's probably drooling at the thought of what hijinks this guy will bring in the future shows. I also thought he looked similar to Juicy. I have to wonder if he was attracted to her because of her 'fame' or not. He didn't look younger than Theresa to me-- why wouldn't he go for a younger woman? It seems most men do. I hope for the best for her but in my opinion it looks like she has a type. :( I can't believe production didn't make Joe dress up as a caveman for the Halloween party! I mean, the whole Joe-Melissa fight is so scripted and they think we're so dumb-- why not go all the way and have him dress the part?

I'm Ramona's age. Believe me after 60 your brain does odd things. I suddenly can't spell worth a hoot and can't remember names. Especially if I don't see the same people all the time. If Ramona was using 'help' that she hadn't used before and was just introduced to them, then I can totally understand her frustration at not remembering their names at that moment. On camera it would be embarrassing. I think people are getting a little too judgemental over every little thing. I'm afraid I've just hacked people off by using the word 'help' now but that's what they do for me. They're my help for the time I'm paying them. I'm sure Ramona tips well and they didn't look offended by her. In other news, I'm SICK of Leah and Andy letting her turn this show into the Leah Show. I guess he doesn't watch it or he'd be as bored by her little bad girl act as most of us are. I swear, if I hadn't seen her teenaged daughter I'd have thought SHE was still around 19 with the way she speaks, acts, and dresses. She is just so blah. I began to fast forward her scenes again like last week. My favorite show gone down the drain!!😭

Just finished Season 5 and can't believe I forgot just how absolutely irritating Aviva (of the one leg) was! Gah was she revolting. So loud and needing so much attention. And that perverted old father of hers! When Sonja's turned off by a wealthy man's attentions you know something's off about him. 🤮 I'm about to watch the reunion and I'm not sure I'll be able to get through even part 1 with Aviva's self righteous braying that I'm sure is about to commence.

I agree-- she considered herself to be the star, she's not capable of being a co-star. When Bethenny suddenly became the breakout very successful star it drove her nuts. I believe what Bethenny said about Jill asking,''Why not me?!" and "Why can't I host Good Morning America?!" (or whatever morning show Beth was asked to sit in on one morning as guest host). If I'm remembering right, she thought it was going to be her who was also starring on Bethenny Gets Married and probably thought she'd be the housewife featured on Skating With the Stars. I can hear her seriously asking,'' Why not MEEeeeee?!" about everything anyone else got to do. (well.. maybe with the exception of Alex's nude poses in the hotel hall! There's not enough bleach to get that image out of my mind years later!) 😵

Ya Ha BeeBee! (groan) Luann thought she was the sh#t in this season! I realized what the Countess and Kelly have in common as I watched them both talking-- they overtalk whoever they're talking to. It would be MADDENING to have a conversation with either one of them- especially if they didn't agree with you. And watching Alex try to explain anything to them was extremely frustrating-- they just won't let her get a full sentence out. Don't get me wrong-- Alex drove me crazy with her 'missions to defend' whoever she was defending in her own mind. I mean, when the ladies were getting their henna tattoos on and she came clattering down the stairs all red and out of breath to announce Ramona was upset-- it was too odd. I can see why it upset Luann. I mean, who in Luann's world IS Alex? It was all too weird. I'm glad I'm through with Season 4 and now on to Season 5. Ya Ha Bee Bee! 🐫🐫(last time I want to hear those words 🤪) PS-- Jill really proved she hasn't changed from last season. Whether you like her or hate her-- she claims she's nicer but she's not and just can't hide her jealousy at anyone getting either attention or success. She's no better or worse than Ramona or Luann but she hasn't changed.

I'm on to Season 4 now where Cindy the hair removal queen has been added and Luann has kicked up her 'Countessness' into HIGH gear on their trip to Morocco! That was hard to watch with her sachaying around going," Daaaahling we don't do that!" and "Daaaahling we don't do this!" at everything imaginable. Especially when we've seen how low she falls in later seasons. I rewound and watched that camel trying to buck her off over and over! I'm almost wondering if the producers picked the youngest barely broken in camel for her-- to take her down a peg. 🤣

I guess the guests they have lined up to be on the trips have been pretty boring when filming, so we get penalized with all this 16 yr old sex activity.... YAWN! I watch this on Amazon Prime so I can fast forward through almost all of the Gary and his girls scenes. The few I saw it looked like he was chasing Sydney around the boat and positioning himself and Allie right in her face to smooch and coo at each other. He keeps glancing at Sydney to get her reaction. Gary is just so thrilled he actually has two women fighting over him. I'm sure this would never happen in real life since there would be no cameras or confined quarters. And a world of other better looking guys to pick from.

This show just recycles things that have already happened on other housewives shows. NY did the Murder Mystery and NJ did the trip to Oklahoma. Of course the New Jersey women thought Oklahoma was a foreign place (and that the folks would be stunned into stupidity by their NJ sophistication🤣 ) but I was disappointed to see the Dallas girls act like they were in the wilderness when they went there. Comeon girls--- it's just over the border from where you live!

What has this show become-- the boyfriend/girlfriend show?! I feel like I'm watching a show made to attract 9th graders! I don't care one bit about who Gary (ugh) flirts with or which girl is prettier or that JL and what's her name 'do it' all giggly in one of the guest cabins. I want vacation porn! I want food that looks like what you'd get on an expensive chartered yacht! I want fancy clothed guests and also how about interesting guests! I want them to go somewhere safe on land so I can see the beauty that is Croatia! I'll tell you, this is the very first time in all of my watching every show of every season of Below Deck, Below Deck Med, and Below Deck Sailing Yacht that I've fast forwarded most of the scenes and skipped 3/4 of the way in to the end. That makes me so sad because I love these shows. Life is dreary enough, give us something other than grownups giggling together over who kissed who or who's sleeping with who or who is being rude on the dinner by smoking too long. Bored with this. And don't like Glen-- he's too weak to keep all these losers in line.

I've never understood why people think Even is so hot. I guess there's not much to pick from among the husbands on all the HW shows! Evan has a weird shaped head and one if not both of the boys seemed to have inherited it. And Jackie is very, very generic looking so, to me, that is one generic family. I totally agree with your comment about Bill, though. The first season I couldn't figure him out-- was he handsome, was he skeevy, was he feeling above being on the show.... The second season when he got drunk and had to be carried to bed, he showed a different side and I felt we were seeing the real Bill. I'm liking him and Jennifer,too. She just puts it out there. Now by next season I may hate her guts because I tend to be doing that,like I really liked Margeret her first seasons but this season I'm not on Team Marge at all. I'll never forget her meeting up with Siggy in that diner to talk and them both arguing while ordering the most delicious and huge breakfasts! Then Siggy crying (naturally) and Margeret calmly finishing her meal while apologizing to Siggy and saying,'' I'm sorry I made you cry. I never want to take a girl down." And shoveling more food in her mouth. 🤣 That's the Marge I like, this season's Marge-- not so much. I think I wandered off topic, but to sum it up, now I like Bill, next season who knows?! lol

Table for one I realize, but I've really enjoyed these shows where they were on the Jersey 'shore'(?). I love the scenery having never been there, and all the sun, boats, clothes and jewelry. It felt like one of the trips the housewives take on the different francises when they are able to travel. I put up with the nonsense of the housewives and husbands-- totally saw through Melissa and Joe's acting 🙄-- but I enjoyed the show this week. My father in law was Sicilian and a little bit gruff. I found out it was because he was actually shy and learned how to act around him. Nono has been a part of this show for a while now and I didn't mind them showing his memorial. (since he agreed to be on the show so much, even when he was grieving, I don't think he'd have cared that his kids televised it. Those two apples didn't fall far from the tree.)

DEAD! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I saw this was coming back on May fourth I got all giddy, then watching the trailer and seeing what looks like a repeat of last season the giddy turned to disappointment... Leah gets drunk, Leah calls the OG's 'old', Leah makes crass remarks, etc. I know I said I wouldn't watch this season if Leah is in the cast but desperation drives me back to this once again. (I don't know for how long) There's something about Leah I just don't like. She seems like a spoiled 16 yr old who is always acting out to get attention. (is acting out the right term? That doesn't sound right for some reason) I don't understand the new woman's problem with the use of 'help'. You hire people to help you, right? This sounds like someone's 'trying to be offended' for camera time. Other than the obvious ones, I have no idea what's wrong to say and what's right in today's world! (and I never want to hurt anyone's feelings or offend them)

Not if you thought I was disrespecting a military man! 😉 My dad and cousins were military and I have upmost respect.
