According to TV Guide, Ramona's been demoted-- http://www.tvguide.com/News/Real-Housewives-New-York-Fires-Aviva-Drescher-Demotes-Ramona-Singer-1086668.aspx?rss=breakingnews

I wanted to know what happened to Yasumoto's wife and baby too. I notice he didn't share the eternal goo with them or he wouldn't have that fancy lady being his girlfriend now. So much for true love and family.

WE is promoting an episode of David Tuterra's show featuring Alexis. It looks like she's using her acting classes to good advantage.

I hear this season on Dancing with the Stars, they are going to include some internet celebs, so I think Frankie is a candidate for that show.

I wonder how many times before John realizes he is not first with Molly. Unless her back is up against a wall, she always turns to other people or puts him second and does what she wants. For a smart guy, he doesn't seem to get it. I think the alien baby is projecting some kind of mind control over Molly the way he is with the Sparks. It knows she lost a baby and her baby's father, and it wants a mommy to protect it....so it's kind of sucking her into it's spell. I'm kind of fascinated by the alien baby eating people's life force and giving them the circle rash, and then they are it's slaves and they do whatever it wants.

I love that Gina takes that hair and makeup to court.

I assumed that NBC reached out to the company that makes the device and it was donated--they got a lot of on-air promotion that is worth the cost of one of their devices. I'm glad she got it, and I'm fine with her getting the money too---her daughter is going to need life-long care and if she can get a degree and some kind of career, it will help their family to offset the expense of her daughter's illness. I think the show would be more suspenseful and interesting if they built in some kind of decision on risking the money each time, altho it has consequences if they chose to win a smaller amount and stop--but I think that would have added something to the game aspect--that they could risk the money and lose some if they didn't win. Maybe if they had more of the home chefs on-site so if one decides not to risk and to stop, another one is up. As it is, even if they lose some challenges they would only have to win 1 to make a fair amount of money for one day's filming--there is really not much chance to lose to the game.

Here is some more about the new host test. http://www.celebitchy.com/380617/the_view_tried_out_a_conservative_co-host_against_rosie_whoopi_it_did_not_go_well/

I think Ramona reacted to questions about her relationship just about how I expected her to. I believe she expected softer handling by Andy than she got. He has been much more gentle with several other veteran housewives who have had relationship issues. I think Ramona is not one of the housewives Andy particularly cares for--she falls more into the Teresa Guidice realm--where he knows she brings the crazy and that brings in viewers, but it's not like he actually likes or cares about her.

Whoever did the female casting should be fired. These girls are just seem to have no game whatsoever. And they keep not booting them. They are boring and they are sooooo dull to watch. Zach is exhausting. The hilight of every episode for me is that when he does his DR sessions he usually rants about how smart he is and then they flash his name and "Unemployed" on the screen.

Mel B for Housewife. She made Andy blush. I want her on some housewife reunion. See Ramona? That's how it's done.

Does Marcel have some new thing he's promoting? I've seen him on a lot of talk shows recently. I feel like he is outgrowing his natural tendency to annoy. Most of his food feels like trick food that is there for effect, and it is interesting but I rarely want to eat it. That burger would have been a horrible mess to eat. Andy Cohen is running a gif of Richard making faces on WWHL. I didn't hate it but I do dislike them consistently trying to fake us out about the voting before the break so the winner is a surprise. I have a feeling that there is some agreement that each returning chef wins at least once so they make at least $10,000 for their trouble. Richard won with Pop Rocks?

I remember reading on some site that one of the former interns posted and she did get credit in school for managing Sonja's social media--she does have a website and she does other things online.

I called it in the beginning, I knew they'd get some company to donate the device for her little girl. That part I'm happy about but I just don't get this competition--the judging seems all over the place. I eat, I could be a judge.

I think the books were a good fast moving read. So far the tv show is moving super slow for me compared to how things felt in the books. I liked them enough to read all 3 books--but probably mid-way through the second one I was ready for the ending and the third book seemed a little over-complicated for how things ended.

It's nice of Bravo Andy to keep giving Kim a paycheck for this show. Her new Lucy Ricardo persona is charming if I didn't think she lights up a ciggie and pours a drink the minute the cameras are off. They did make some awfully cute little kids though.

CBS is running commercials for their new show called "Stalker". Hmmmm.....possible job for Caleb?

The View seems to be very kind in letting Sherri exit on her own terms. My DVR for Friday says she is "unveiling her line of wigs for LuxHair Now".

I have been pretty disengaged this season---so far I'm watching but not really paying that much attention to the feeds, but this America's Team provoking fights thing might just suck me in. That was very entertaining to watch and it would be so great if one of AT made it to the final 2. It would be so sweet to see them tell the jury that they've been doing this AND socking away cash for it all along. I can just see their jealous/confused faces.

My favorite moment of this episode was Heather blathering on about Shannon and why Heather is in no way responsible for their issues and she is going on and on and on....and in the background Eddie Judge gets the giggles and has to put his face in his hands.

Here is a good play by play of the Hannibal panels. http://www.vox.com/2014/7/24/5935171/join-us-for-a-hannibal-comic-con-panel-live-blog-sdcc-2014

I found it very interesting that Tuesday night immediately after the finale, Andy had 3 housewives on to essentially talk about bogus on-show stuff from Sonja and Aviva (who were NOT on). I am trying to recall that happening before. Usually that kind of talk is saved for the reunion shows. The only thing like it that I can recall is maybe having Danielle on when the book/table flip went down but I am not sure that happened prior to the reunion airing.

I wish they would somehow do a reverse count-down every day now counting down how many episodes until Sherri and Jenny are gone, like the Roots count the episodes every night on Jimmy Fallon's opening. Why is Jason Biggs on this show so much? Does he have some relationship with Barbara? He might be the worst of the male co-hosts.
