  1. I always saw Blanche as the most attractive due to how she was dressed. Nothing to do with her being "easy". That and her outgoing personality.

    The show really did a good job with the wardrobes of the women with regards to how they were perceived. Blanche wore bright colors and tending to be the most stylish. Rose was a bit frumpy and conservative. Dorothy was a walking disaster. And they all overdressed for Miami (yes I realize that had more to do with the studio more than anything, but still).

    I loved Joyce on the show! She seems like one of the sweetest and smartest housewives. She's got the looks, the lifestyle, wasn't afraid to engage in the drama. She didn't turn into a shrinking violet even when she was outnumbered by the other women. Big mistake to let her go imo.

    I liked her too. I wish she had stayed.

    Since she is apparently friends with LVP, she could always come back as a "Friend of"/ally of hers.

    I don't think for one second that Lisa Rinna was being concerned for Kim.  Lisa Rinna hates Kim's guts for what she tried to insinuate about Harry and will never let it go.  If you ask me, she said what she did out of meanness and revenge and nothing more.  I just think she wasn't aware that Eden would take the information and run with it and make it her storyline.  It pretty much came back and bit Rinna in her non existent ass!

    I think she was aware, LisaR saw that Eden was trying to engage Kyle regarding Kim at various times(most noticeably at Lisa's own BBQ), and should have tried to shut Eden down. Or at the very least, pull Eden and maybe suggest to her she should discuss it with Kyle one on one, as opposed to doing it in front of the group. And wasn't Eden already asking Kyle some very personal questions about Kim and their family history before LisaR made the death/enabler comments? LisaR knew what she was doing, she just played it very, very badly.

    I really don't want to see Kim or hear about her anymore on this show, but sadly, looks like she will be back. Please, Kyle, Mauricio is making tons of money now, you have your store expansion and your upcoming TV show...you guys can afford to pay her to not come back to this show just so she can cash a paycheck.

    All of these different characterizations make me feel like the writers fell into the trap of "Hey, that characteristic was funny once! Let's exaggerate it constantly til it isn't funny at all!"  It's a common problem in sitcoms, I think.

    That happens on many shows (see The Golden Girls or Seinfeld as two examples) where the characters become something of exaggerated caricatures of themselves later on in the shows run. Lazy writing more than anything else.

    With that said...I still love this show. Seasons 3 to 6, and probably 8, are still my favorites. Loved it then, love it now.

    And I don't see Ross too differently today because I always thought he could be kind of a jerk during the original run of the show (of course, he was a nice guy and was there for his friends when it counted, so he has that going for him at least).
