All of these housewives drink way too much, I bet it is the minority that DON'T actually drink (only Kandi and maybe Carole come to mind). Many people have different views of what an alcoholic is and isn't, many think that they might have a drinking problem but are not alcoholic per se. To me it doesn't matter, it is their business, but what I can't understand is why are you drinking excessively to the point where you don't know what you're doing? And why don't you pick an uber instead? If you're grieving, blaming your marital status, you're stressed... You know what? Drink it up woman! It's your choice, but, what amount are you drinking that you can't decide to take an uber instead? Call me stupid and of course I know I'm wrong, but if she had to drive less than a mile in a deserted street, maybe... Okay? But why choose to drive long distances? Even if it was within the vicinity. I don't know how it works in the States, but in my country, I have an aunt that is a college professor and some semesters she is given 3 to 4 classes and some semesters she has none, probably like a substitute teacher. She wasn't doing it for the money but because of her affiliation to the university her children were given full scholarships, that's the only reason why she kept at it. I don't know Wendy's situation but it seems from the show that she lives a comfortable life (she can afford her children's education, again, that's what it appears from the show...) and it seems like her being a college professor was more of her mother's dream rather than hers, I see Wendy much more interested in becoming a news anchor or having her own talk show.

I think they tried to do that with Dayna and... Totally forgot who they were, but weren't they all cancelled due to racist tweets that resurfaced? (not Dayna, though) Don't remember well to be honest, it seems like a million years ago.

I don't get it, Stacey is a beautiful and smart woman, I mean, ok yeah, she's divorcing and has a child, there's baggage there, but, can't she get someone who... Actually wants her? I'm not saying TJ isn't attracted to women, but I don't see him being attracted to her, plus he's an asshole. I get Wendy's celebration is taking a lot of airtime, however, last year I felt they spent half the season in Austin, so, I won't be complaining as much this time.

I sort of want this show to continue because, no joke, sometimes I have insomnia and this really helps me to sleep. The only way this show isn't cancelled is because Andy won't want to admit this was a complete fail, I doubt these women are getting paid within the scale of LuAnn or Ramona but I can't see it making much profit, I do think they spent a considerable amount on advertising and marketing. I didn't hate the prank as much but, when you base your entire trailer on some big secret about someone being pregnant and it turned out to be a joke? Well, that pretty much tells you no one had anything going on. And if Dubai was "put on pause" for an okay season... Love Racquel and Mel, I sort of want to see Jenna working on fashion and the rest are meh.

Such a missed opportunity, and maybe Sonja could add that she slept/partied with Tom Cruise and John Travolta in the 90's.

I hate to be that guy but I do miss the OG's because, sure, Ramona is despicable and Sonja's a drunk, but I miss the days when nothing was off limits, or at least most of it. We don't (and probably never will) know Jenna's girlfriend (and is she married? I think I saw on IG where she alluded to that), we don't know Ubah's boyfriend, Sai's "healing journey" is always a tired storyline, Jessel's pretty harmless but she adds almost nothing to anything and Brynn is a poor man's Sonja Morgan and that bar was already set too low. Oh, and I hate that the real disagreements happened off camera or through messages and I barely understand what they're talking about. Every single one of the OG's would've been all over Rebecca Minkoff being a Scientologist, I prefer Blue Stone Manor to Erin's house (and while LuAnn's house is smaller, that was my favorite real state porn out of all franchises, save Jenna's apartment...) This crop barely had the energy to play 10 minutes of tennis, while LuAnn would've been sexing up the tennis instructor and would've played an entire match with Ramona just to prove she was better at it. Didn't Erin say that she spent her childhood playing tennis? She was barely able to hit the ball. I appreciate that Jenna's trying to get more in the mix and Racquel oozes coolness, but that's not enough to keep me interested.

I think it was at the beginning of 2024 that I started to watch several things on TikTok so I didn't see anything new on this documentary, I think it was too soon to make this especially if the trial's still ongoing. I also would've liked to see more info about the cult sans the dancing trope, I mean, is the "church" that big to begin with? I thought the story about the Korean sisters was compelling and sad, it made me wonder how many people are/were in their position within the "church". The thing about the dancers... Listen, of course I feel bad for their families, but truth be told, I don't know if there's much of a case regarding them specifically. I felt that Melanie (the sister with long, brown hair) was pretty much over her sister, not that she didn't care, but she was more ready to accept that her sister might not come back from the cult, and I don't think I blame her.

Agree with this, at worst, I think Melissa is legit thankful to have Joe Gorga in her life, I think if she didn't love/care for him she would've left while trying to remain on the show. Teresa keeps blaming Melissa for the Gorgas joining the show behind her back, but, isn't Joe her actual brother? I'd be more upset with my blood relative than their spouse, at the end of the day "loyalty" should be enforced by her actual family. Plus, I believe that when Teresa went to jail the Gorgas only visited her daughters when cameras were there (I actually believe the daughters on this one), wouldn't that be more of a Joey Gorga issue than Melissa? Needless to say, Teresa has also been awful to the Gorgas so, at the end of the day, both factions suck.

I just want to be clear that I am NOT defending Pauly but, to me this is more of a Dolores's problem more than Pauly's. We all saw how Dolores was treated by David, including Pauly, so maybe in Pauly's mind, the fact that he's actually willing to go with Dolores to all of these taped events is more than enough. Dolores needs to stop pretending she's a "cool girl" and be upfront with the fact that she wants a ring and she wants marriage. For once, I agree with Joe Gorga that Dolores wants to be a stay-at-home wife and there's nothing wrong with that.

Exactly, I think even Melissa understands this, and that's pretty much why I think Jackie is befriending Teresa, once she saw that Marge took Danielle's side on not inviting Jackie to Danielle's event, that friendship went 'kadooz' (taking this from RHONY Ramona in the most wrong way). Jackie realized they were about to change her for Danielle. Or, I keep thinking Jackie doesn't want to be friends with Marge anymore after Marge's ex best friend spilled the beans about what they were saying about Jackie, but they don't want to bring it to the show. While I think Teresa can be and pretty much is a terrible person, I also believe she's pretty mellow IF and only IF you don't set her off, but let's face it, Teresa can hold five minutes of screen time without talking about anybody else, and this season, the rest of the women are demonstrating that they cannot do the same. I'm surprised Melissa and Margaret (not counting Rachel as she is pretty new) haven't figured out that when you want to ice someone, you have to really stop talking about the person AND create story about their own lives, all they've done so far (and this is a short season, isn't?) is talk about Teresa behind her back and simultaneously refuse to film with her. Teresa and Jen going to the blogs will most definitely affect them with production, however, it's pretty clear that without Teresa (not so much Jen, at least this season) they don't have a show.

Legit, I think Candiace saw the writing on the wall, whether I agree with her or not (many times I don't) I do believe she was 100% authentic to her feelings (again, many times I disagreed with her) she legit thought Robyn was her friend on and off the show, and she knew things weren't going to change unless Gizelle left the show, which I'm sure she knows wasn't happening. Plus, after the Deborah debacle, I'm certain she either was going to get jumped and/or her marriage was going to be attacked again. I'm sure she will miss the money, but while I don't believe she's rich by any means I don't think she will be hurting. Do I think her singing and acting career equals what she was earning on the show? Absolutely not, but she's not going to be in any trouble financially like, say, Robyn and Ashley.

I'm only on the first episode of the second season and, regarding Alex Hall and Tyler, I think the implication is that it was at least rumored that they've been hooking up before Brittany Snow filed for divorce, or at least that's what was rumored. I don't believe Brandi's pressed because of her client ranted to her for 30 minutes, I think since she is or was friends with Alex Hall she cared about her friend's reputation. Since Austin was making jokes about it (it appears for some time) and Polly was wondering what would happen if they ended up together, it seems the entire office had an inkling those two (Tyler and Alex) were more than friendly. One thing is for sure, had it been Jarvis or Rose instead of Alex Hall, all the women would've called them all the types of bitches and whores.

I think it's safe to say they're the break-out pairing of the season. At the end of this episode I was like "is everyone at least somewhat part of the LGBT+ spectrum in this school? Maybe Nick's blonde former friend isn't, but of course there's always next season". I think Tori deserves better next year, I mean, sure, she had her scenes when playing the protecting sister, but I wish she had something else besides that and sipping her drink. I don't need her paired up with someone else, just have another storyline other than "lonely girl that loves her brother". I don't mind in the least that Isaac is asexual, but, can we drop it with the books? I get it, boy likes to read. I don't doubt that he is asexual or at least he's trying to find and/or figure himself out, but I'd ask myself why I'm so attached to physically holding a book the entire time. Sure, it's okay to not be interested in sex or finding a partner (especially if they're just turning 15, isn't that Charlie's age?), but, can you at least, you know, leave your book at home while you're going to prom? Do you mind NOT reading while we're in a group with friends? As I write this I'm realizing how annoyed I was with this. I didn't notice in the first season but he was more of a background character, but since they decided to give him more screentime it's all I could see this time around. I wasn't surprised Charlie's still dealing with the aftermath of the year he was bullied and I'm glad the show is addressing this, he can be extremely happy being with Nick but he can still have PTSD from his past, it won't be easy to get over it especially since he's a teenager. That's about the only think I could think of, but I mean, I love true crime, so my mind immediately goes to "why is he walking by himself after midnight? He's practically begging to be kidnapped", but then I remember this is a kids' show. Had it been me? I would've been running in zigzag until I came home, and THEN I would've texted the "I love you".

As of right now they're all giving me "Friend of" energy, except for maybe Jenna but not because she's a "star", it's because she sticks out like a sore thumb among this group of influencers. I now know everyone's name but, to me, they're all interchangeable. I thought Sai was going to give me a fashion show with her three suitcases but I still find her quite ordinary, considering her profession. I actually do like/know a few influencers but I've said it before and I'll say it again: influencers belong in social media, you need a different set of skills and background if you want to be on television and/or movies.

Do they even have houses in the Hamptons? Just asking. I feel like we were supposed to believe that these women are much wealthier than the OG's, and maybe they are but I don't think there's much of a difference. Maybe Jenna might be the wealthiest of them all, but I don't see much of a difference between the rest and say, Ramona, Dorinda or LuAnn. I know Bravo wanted to go back to the roots of RHONY but these women are all falling flat for me, I just don't think the new girls are nowhere near as funny and/or delusional, I'm still missing someone saying "I wanted to order a pizza, my name? It's Countess De Lesseps".
