I cannot with Kristen any more. Kristen, honey, when Ramona looks saner than you do, it's time to step back. WTF with all the damn crying? If you don't want to do a mud run, rappel or anything other than whine and gossip then don't do it. It's really pretty simple. Even Ramona figured it out.
I also agree with the comment already made. Who is the genuis that decided we tune in too RHONY to see Montana? Yes, the place they are staying is lovely and the secnery is beautiful. I got that in the first episode. Time to go back to New York.
I must admit, that while I realize Ramona is a pain in the ass and I rarely agree with her, I woud hate, hate. hate that trip. The outdoors is nice for a walk or two. If there is a beach, excellent I can be quite content. I could probably even handle the Montana trip if they would leave me the hell alone with a good book and I could just take in the scenery. But, city girl born and raised. I love animals but I really don't want to ride them, and you could not pay me enough to risk my life rapelling down some stupid mountain. Although I have never personally been there,. I much prefer the Hamptons. I much prefer them on my TV screen too.
Maybe I have just hit HW overload, but I am not enjoying either New York, my usual favorite, or Orange County, my #2. Since I didn't even make it through the full season of New Jersey last year, things are not boding well for me in Howive land.

Zoeysmom why do you think they have no money? What's the deal with their financial status?
I'm obviously not Zoeysmom, but they rent don't they? People with money do not rent unless it is a temporary situation like the Dubrows from OC who are renting while their hotel .....er I mean house, is being built.
I think Kristen brings nothing. I am sick of her manufactured drama, her husband is a dick and she is a whiner. This was my favorite franchise but as far as I am concerned right now they could sack the entire cast, except the Countess, and start over.
I really wouldn't miss any of them.
This, perhaps at least partly explains the dismal rating.

An hour of 'You gossiped about me!' 'Did not!' Did too!' 'Did not!' 'Did too!' Lying!' 'Am not!' 'Are too!' 'Lying liar!' 'Sez you!' Lying!!!' Oh, dammit, I guess I was bad and lied...she's my friend and now I feel bad (sad face)' ''I know she was lying, dammit, she's supposed to be my friend. (sad face)' "I feel bad.' 'I feel really bad.' 'I feel really really bad.' 'I feel reallyreallyreally very bad.' 'Let's have a baby!!!' ''No.'
So where do they keep that shark tank for everyone to jump over? This show now officially sucks.
Yep, jumped the shark. Wow, Tamra told your secret and then lied about it? What a stunning and surprising development. Not. I really don't care that Shannon is new to the show does BRAVO really think we believe that these "new" women have never watched the old shows? Because if you have seen one or 100 you know Tammy is a bald faced liar, and a horrible, horrible friend and human being.
Oh and just in case it's not stupid enough to share your secret with such a being, maybe doing it on NATIONAL TV isn't all that bright either. I know the ratings aren't what they used to be, but it's probably still going to get out.
Stop insulting our intelligence BRAVO. Yeah, we may watch your stupid shows but that doesn't mean all of our brain cells are dead. Yet.
When I found myself checking the clock for Ladies of London to start, I knew it was the beginning of the end for me and my old friends, the OC Howives.
This has really been a boring season. Where the hell is screeching, crazy Vicki? Instead I have to watch her being all nice and relatively normal (by Vicki Standards) with that sleazeball boyfriend or her lunatic son in law and fat daughter? No. Just no.
The fake baby? Really? Because it just wasn't stupid enough with Kenya? Lizzie makes me want to imitate the Vickster and her fake snoring routiine,
and the epic Shannon/Heather battle? I really wish I could give one damn. But I just don't.

The thing is, asthma is extremely serious. If Veevs really is making it up, she's totally fuckin' crazy. And what is it with these women & throwing things at Kristen? If she threw her fake-ass drugs at me, I'd throw 'em right back at that one-legged nasty piece of shit.
Look, it's not exactly difficult to figure out why the ratings are so awful. It was going downhill, but George & Aviva have absolutely murdered this show. George's misogynist garbage turned a shit-ton of people off. Andy Cohen couldn't tell what a turn off his crap was. He thought it was hilarious.
OK, so George is gone & supposedly won't be back. BFD! Aviva is still there. And there's absolutely nothing to like about this woman. She's a nasty unpleasant asshole to everyone around her. There's no fucking reason anyone would wanna watch her. OK, so she's gonna be gone for the next few eps. Doesn't matter. The damage is done. The ratings are gonna continue to plummet. Interesting how deluded & delusional Andy is about the deep trouble this show is in now.
The programming move to change the time was a sure ratings killer. And the fact that they don't show previous eps before the show is killing the ratings too. Andy's replacement is doing a very, very, very poor job in supporting this show.
I don't. And I get why Carole was upset by it. Sonja was particularly cruel to say this, knowing it was nonsense. She still hasn't denied it. Which annoys me too. But it shows the enormous mean streak Sonja has. Notice what Carole said Russ said about it. He didn't say anything about not being into Sonja. That would be cruel & it doesn't seem like his style.
He said he wouldn't be with Sonja cuz he loved Carole & would definitely not do anything to hurt her. What a sweet thing to say. And I think genuine. The little we saw of Russ, I liked. He seemed like a very nice guy. And not at all the type to sleep with an acquaintance/co-worker of his girlfriend. Sonja was nasty as fuck to make up that lie & feed it to the facialist (which she had to have done).
This is probably some really unfair double standard, but I would think far less of Sonja than I would of Russ if it were true. He's a guy. Although that should say enough, Carole also seems to have dumped him, even if I am sure she did it as kindly as possible.
However, in my world you just never. ever, ever sleep with, date or anything other than converse with, any guy your friend has had a realtionship with.
Ever. I really had no opinion of Denise Richards until she started dating Ritchie Sambora, her BFF's ex husband. Then I instantly decided she was a skank.
Of course, I already consider Sonja a skank, so it really wouldn't suprise me on her partl but it just says so much about her, IMO, that she would even put that out there and then try to make it sound "cute".
But then, I am really done with Sonja this season. For the record, I don't think it happened. But, I don't doubt for one second that if Sonja could have, she would have.

The People's Couch is and was getting awful ratings but it's the sister show to the UK's Goggle Box that recently won a BAFTA TV award, which Bravo were hoping they could replicate here, However its ratings have always been bad and the worst came at 9pm last night when it posted its lowest audience to date. See http://bravoratings.com/2013/10/30/peoples-couch-season-1-ratings/
So that is interesting. It was about ratings, but in trying to booster the ratings on People's Couch, not RHONY? So you take a show with really dismal ratings and switch with a show with pretty bad ratings (RHONY) and that is supposed to help something? Why not switch with OC or some other show that is getting decent ratings? Who is running the programming at BRAVO, Congress?
Makes no sense. I still think they should try this on Monday right after OC or on Sunday after Kandi's Wedding in the Married to Medicine time slot, and at least see what happens.
Edited to add that yes, I am self aware enough to realize it is pathetic that I know all these time slots, probably better than Andy does. Truly sad.

If they run with the pregnancy plot and put Frankie and Maura together I'll probably bail. I've already suffered through Casey, I just can't with these two plots, especially the pregnancy.
This. This show was so good at the beginning, why do they always have to ruin good suspense shows with soap opera? I am especially not going there with the pregnancy. Just nol.

Kristen, if Aviva says she is not going to Montana feel grateful you dodged a bullet. Don't poke the crazy and challenge her. With that level of insanity you just can't win.
Ah but you can. Her BFF, the skank, has taught her well. You can win screen time, which I am convinced Kristen is obsessed with. I am completely over her. They really should get rid of Kristen. The overdone facial expressions are making my face hurt. Does a day go by that this chick isn't utterly shocked by someone?

I am really frustrated. The Peoples Couch is NOT a 9pm show to me. Maybe late night after WWHL. It was cute for maybe a few minutes but this thing is an hour?? What happened to when Bravo showed the previous RH shows before the new episode? Last night, they showed Kandi's show before the new OC, and tonight they showed Kandi's show yet again before what I thought was the NY timeslot. The repeats leading up to a new episode got me in the mood for the new ep. I wonder why they're not doing that anymore?
I do believe this is based on ratings and it certainly does not make things look good for RHONY. I was surprised to find I actually enjoyed People's Couch when it was 1/2 hour, but I agree an hour is a bit much. However, the fact that they made it a full hour proves it was getting good ratings.
Clearly NY is not.
This has always been my favorite franchise, even though I live in the OC (which is my #2). I hate to see it get cancelled, but I have to admit, I am not loving it this year. Also, as someone born and raised in So. California, watching life in New York is really interesting to me, but now they are in Montana? I wish they would keep this in NY. I also think if they hope to save it, they are, unfortunately going to have to have another cast shake up.
The sad thing is, other than the Countess, I don't really much care who they keep. The must rid themselves of Aviva and her disgusting father though
She really brings nothing good.

I guess I should feel bad for Sharron because divorce sucks, but she makes it so fucking hard. She started a fight about a glass of water? She got mad at David when he suggested getting rid of the kids new age massage? After she complained they didn't have enough time together? She's mad that David goes to bed early because she likes to stay up late? Even though he has a work schedule and she doesn't? And then when he husband emailed her about leaving she went to another hypochondriac appointment? I just can't with her. She seems like such a spoiled, vapid, bored, rich housewife who invents problems so she has something to think about. I don't think she's lonely just because her marriage is crap. I think she's also lonely because she doesn't have to do shit all day. She feels neglected because she expects to be entertained 16 hours a day. Grow up. Get a job or get a masters degree or something. Just take responsibility for doing something with your day instead of sitting on your ass expecting your hen pecked husband to make you feel important! Seriously, grow the fuck up.
All of This!
I will make one additional comment. If David does not already have a significant other on the side, I will spend an evening out with Vicki, Tamra
Lizzie and Shannon. Since I would prefer a root canal, without anesthesia, to that you can tell I am convinced.
PS I was going to say bimbo on the side, but I recall some on TwoP thought David might be playing for the home team. I personally don't get the gay vibe from him (Eddie, Oh Yeah, David, no), but just in case I thought I would keep the bet gender neutral.
-
I agree that Tamra is more at fault than Heather on the gossip thing. First of all, Tamra has betrayed Shannon is the worst way. Not only did she share personal information with a third party, she shared it with a third party that Shannon clearly hates. I personally would never forgive a friend for telling someone I disliked ANYTHING personal about me without my express permission (which they would never have).
Also, although I confess that I am seeing that Heather must have really pissed off someone at BRAVO as she is getting the "bitch" edit this year, and yes, she can be a bit much, she is still the only one I would even consider actually spending any time with in real life. I have other rich OC friends, so that part doesn't really bother me. The truth is there are some areas of OC, and Newport is definitely one of them, where what you have, and what you are acquiring is considered normal conversation. I will say though, that none of my rich friends have ever treated me badly or commented on my less than rich lifestyle. At least she could hold her own in an intelligent conversation which is more than I can say for the others. Lizzie might be smart, she claims to be, but I already find her so boring I know I wouldn't want ot hang with her.
However, although I dissed Lizzie earlier an excellent point was made. If she is responsible for sending Tamra running from the room in tears, then I will watch every scene she is in, for fear of missing that season highlight.
For that alone she just may be my new favorite.

I agree with all of this
Maybe Heather is wrong to repeat the gossip about Shannon and her marriage but I blame Tamra moreso. Shannon told Tamra something in confidence and I don't believe for one Botoxed moment that Tamra was sharing the info with Heather out of the goodness of her oh-so-black heart in hopes that Heather and Shannon would make up. I think Tamra is a nasty shit stirrer and she couldn't wait to share someone else's misfortune.
And she is a dumb bitch extraordinnaire to tell Heather on film and then deny it to Shannon. Heather never denied saying what she did to Teefs and apologized.
Sure, Heather is condescending but I still like her. Her wit and brain can run circles around most of the other ladies.

I admit I'm having difficulty following the logic of, "How dare you gossip about my super secret email that was told in confidence to Tamra and the viewing public!"
I get being mad over someone you dislike gossiping about your shitty marriage but I get a little lost over the privacy part. Then again Shannon seems so drunk maybe she just thinks the cameras and production staff are one long drawn out DT hallucination.
This. You just told Tamra on TV about the email. It's not a secret any more.
Tamra is not only an entitled bitch, she is a stupid entitled bitch. Idiot is getting free publicity and bitches about it. It seems like Eddie is getting a bit bored with all the drama his crazy wife brings. Since I have never been convinced he is even attracted to women, maybe Tamra should spend a little time worrying about her own marriage instead of Shannons.
Watching the marriage die is a little too real, but have to admit it's interesting. As someone who could not make it through even 10 minuties of "True Tori" which, IMO, was total BS., I was actually pretty riveted to the story last night and I don't even like Shannon.
Agree with the Lizzie assesment. Boring. If she can't bring anything more interesting than she has so far, she will go the way of the last beauty queen BRAVO brought on. At least Joyce was genuinely pretty and seemed genuinely nice. So far I woudln't say either of those is true of Lizzie. And YES to the end of the "baby" story lines.
I don't give a flying frick it LIzzie has another kid and Tamra's carrying on about another kid is just stupid. She's too old and she's a lousy mother and a horrible person. Find another hobby Tamra.

The reference to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward made me smirk since they also started their fairy tale as an affair.
Yes, but their fairy tale lasted over 50 years until his death. No easy feat for anyone and I am just old enough to remember when every mom in the neighorhood thought Paul was the hottest guy in the world (alhtough I'm sure they probably didn't describe him as hot). George Clooney and Brad Pitt have nothing on him in his heyday.
I wouldn't take any bets on Sleaze bag and his cray cray wife making it another five years.

Saying goodbye to all the former TwoP gang. You guys are hilarious.
I am not a fan of this format. Too many threads for all the shows. I am sure it works for many, not for me, so moving on.
Keep the Snark going, it's good for them!

I am right there with you on this. I was always amazed that so many folks could hate Melissa so much, yet love Teresa. To me they are exactly the same person.
It will be interesting to watch their friendship this season. I always thought that it was amped up for the drama for the most part, and that they really didn't hate each other as much as they portrayed on the show. If they are really close this year, I will know it was all BS. True, people can put their differences aside, but they acted like they had pretty much been sworn enemies for 10 years, and now they are going to be close? Please.
The are exactly the same person. That is the perfect description. I stopped watching 1/2 way through last season. Could take no more of those two bitches. Hated Caroliine too, glad she's gone. Meh on Kathy, hated her husband. I actually didn't mind Dina first time around, so i will probably tune in to see if I can make it through a full season this time.
I made it through Beverly Hills and Atlanta so I will soldier on and see what I can do with this train wreck. Hope the Guidices go to jail. Sorry for the kids, but that is what happens when mommy and daddy are CRIMINALS.

Holy crap.....her father isn't dead? Well fuck a duck, another reality tv con job. Thank you for all your sleuthing, including Dana/Cody's famewhore past.
I think I'm one of the few who didn't think Ramona was wrong or rude with her conversation with that pig of a man. I don't think one can be rude when dealing with a POS like George. He has set the bar lower than I have ever seen before on these shows. And he can leave now take his fake ass fiancé with him.
I am right there with you. I couldn't really care less what crazy Ramona says to him. I don't care if she throws a glass a him either. A real one.

It must be a measure of just how despicable I find George that Ramona's rudeness didn't faze me a bit last night. Yeah, she was awful, but he deserved every second of it. And sorry, don't try to sell me that anyone is marrying that disgusting man for any reason other than money. Particularly when you met him on a site for women looking for sugar daddies. To actually sleep with him? There is not enough money in the world.
More sick of Kristen. WTF was that with her chasing Heather out when she was trying to talk to drunk Sonja, and then she tried the same thing? Is Kristen some kind of expert on talking to drunken lunatics? I would guess not since she hasn't done so well with Ramona. Or is she just learning from her BFF, Brandi the Skank, how to get more screen time. I don't like Kristen. Geat Hair Color though.
I am just not liking most of these women much. But loving the Countess. More Countess. NO MORE GEORGE.

Thank heavens I had not just taken a sip of tea when I read this! Totally LOL perfect!
Anthony Radziwill must be spinning in his grave. UGH! Did she talk that like when she and her husband were hanging out together? He certainly was raised better. I don't see why Carole thinks it's cute to laugh off or along with George's despicable behavior. She's done it before this and it's one of the reasons I don't like her.
I also found that disgusting. Lee must just be bursting with pride. As I mentioned on a previous forum, although both Lee and Jackie were both known to have a pretty bawdy sense of humor in private, they were careful to always maintain their ladylike images in public.
It has seemed to me that Carole has been trying to be gross and offensive this season. Maybe Andy suggested it. I am not sure, but I went from her being my favorite last year to not liking her at all this year. I guess the only saving grace is I really am not sure I like any of these women any more except Heather and the Countess, and I thoroughly detest Aviva.

So I made it through about 6 minutes of this train wreck last night, but it was enough to catch the question about why it was OK to break up Dean's first marriage. The idiot used the soulmate excuse again, and how they just "knew" the minute they meant. So, the obvious follow up question in my mind, if of course this was a real interview with a real journalist, or hell, even Andy Cohen,would have been, "so if Dean said he was "in love" with the chick it would be OK for him to cheat?"
WTF? It's OK if they are your soulmate, but not if it's just a quick lay. I am convinced this was complete, total bullshit. As I said in the beginning there was never any chance of a divorce. Tori is totally nuts. I switched back to the channel at the end, but when they cut to him starting to sing to her, I was off that show so fricken fast. Did not watch it and kept my dinner down. I just cannot.
On the plus side, having actually watched probably a grand total of 15 minutes over all the weeks this show has been on, I am a little bit proud of myself. Sure., I may be BRAVO's bitch but I still have some standards.

I don't believe it myself. I might beleive they would be stupid enough to keep Ramona for the drama, but no way would I believe they are stupid enough to keep Aviva in any capacity. I assume someone from BRAVO checks out these blogs, but maybe not. Maybe they just go by twitter, but I cannot imagine that Aviva is any more well liked there than she is here.
That said, I would be really mad if they get rid of the Countess because she is the only one I have really enjoyed this year. Other than that, I am not really sure I could work up a good give a damn. I used to like Carole, but she has mostly bored or annoyed me this year. I don't hate her, just meh.
Cannot stand Kristen and would be very happy to see her go away. Ditto with Sonja, she is just not even mildly entertaining any more. Aside from appearing pathetic she is clearly a con artist. Having learned the truth of her lawsuit, I want nothing more to do with watching her and I only feel pity for her daughter. Never liked Ramona, still don't.
It is interesting that Heather is finally getting so much heat. Personally, I thought the way she behaved at the party given by the Countess in the Hamptons was so off the wall. Not that she argued with Aviva, who doesn't? However, when she was screechting to the Countess to throw Aviva out of her house she was waaaaaaaaaay over the line. You do not tell a host or hostess to toss their guests. If you have a problem with their guests, you leave. I don't find that Heather is so much trying to act "street". She is street, IMO. White trash with money is still white trash. Yes, I feel bad for her son and his medical issues and yes, she appears to be a good mother, so genuine kudos for that. Otherwise, I am just not feeling it with her either.
I hate to say it, but I don't see a mass firing as a really bad move for this show. They clearly have to do something, the ratings are in RHOM territory, if not worse at this point. It's almost to the point of what can it hurt?
Edited to add that in spite of my Heather rant, I do not blame her at all for being nasty to Kristen. That whining, attention seeking famewhore got on my last nerve with this episode. I cannot tolerate whiny women. I much prefer bitches to criers, and whiners and Kristen is almost as bad as her best friend, Brandi the Skank.
