If it weren't for Ramona and Lu, I'd have already stopped watching. If they get rid of Ramona and keep Eboni and Leah, I'm out.

I agree that Blue Stone Manor was really the draw with Dorinda and I bet she thought Bravo would never risk losing out on the cray Bezerkshire episodes. This was one decision by Bravo I can get b

Unless whoever is running NBC and Bravo is a complete moron they should be able to figure out how to fix this show. Didn't the OC get rid of the two newest members and the one big liability? And they

Ok so this is old, but I came across it and it's one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It's a parody of Luanne's video and it is awesome-

There are a few parody videos from the same group on YouTube, hilarious.

That dude is hilarious! And go figure that he ended up on a season of "Big Brother"---I didn't watch him on there but I recognized him from his YouTube Real Housewife parodies. His Kim Zolziak/"Don't Be Tardy" video is also brilliantly spot-on.

I posted this in the Sonja thread, but there is some explanation of how they're paid (sorta)-

 

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/sonja-morgan-rhony-pals-skip-party-article-1.2440853

 

How most of 'em are being paid is confusing.  Very confusing.  But the one the thing I get, is there was only one who got the certain dough in Satan-Andy-land -- and that was Bethenny.  The rest of 'em had to scramble.  Carole was shrewd here.  She cozied up to Bethenny & has positioned herself as her best bud.  For now, that's a good position to be.  We'll see how long that lasts & if it works out for her.  And Dorinda is snuggling up to B too.  Smart move -- for now.

 

The article says Moaner got paid per scene last season & did OK.  Maybe she's got the same deal this season.  Same for Lu.  And Sonja?  Idk if she's doing drugs, but she doesn't look right & she's acting really wacky -- but is it any different from how she's been the last few years (seasons)?

This could be gold.  Tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on LMN, Radzi stars in "The Haunting of..." 

 

Here's a synopsis:

 

On the TV show The Haunting Of…, the Happy Medium Kim Russo meets Carole at her Hamptons estate where Radziwill says she “once encountered a ghostly presence.” The ghost of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is scheduled to appear, portrayed by actress Kelly Wray. The Haunting Of…Carole Radziwill will air December 3 at 9pm on LMN.

 

Epic.  I hope we get to see Carole's "Hamptons estate" on the next season of RHONY. When did she get a place there?  Perhaps she sold her imaginary house in L.A. to finance it. Because you know her writing career didn't do it.

 

Carole should stay away from any project that has the word 'ghost' in the description.

Glad to see Carole's not attempting to profit off the tragedy that took her best friend and her sister and husband's cousin and best friend.  That would be very low brow if Carole were to say do a TV show at a Hampton's estate and claim she feels a friendly ghost in the house.  Wonder if she will take the urn with her?

Oh great I can just see it the next season.  Sonja will be claiming she just partied with the ghosts of 'John John' and Madonna.  To which Dorinda can with tired wry amusement reply "well Madonna's not dead".

I am sorry if this is old news, but I have looked in both Sonja and Bethenny's threads and did not see it mentioned anywhere: Bethenny and Sonja are in a brand war. A lot of people online are making it out like Bethenny is ruthless in business, but I think Sonja is the real underhanded one here. Launching an alcohol line called Tipsy Girl? Really?

I just can't imagine why Sonja would be so stupidly sneaky to even attempt using any type of "---y Girl" title in her own cocktail brand, especially knowing just how ruthlessly protective Bethenny is of her own branding.

Why couldn't she have been a little *less* obvious and simply aimed more for her own age group by naming her brand "Tipsy Gal" or "Boozy Lady" or something?!

I tell ya, Sonja-With-A-J is her own professional enemy.

She really could've had something cool going on with her original designer toaster oven idea, which she could've branded into a housewares and cookbook and kitchen accessories line even!

I honestly think she's just greedy and wants all the glam accolades and high-end "lifestyle brand" fame without putting all the hard work into it that such entrepreneurship requires.

Say what you will about Bethenny, but the gal hustled and worked her ass off((literally!)) to get where she is today.

All we've seen Sonja do is sloppily present/embarrass herself at many futile business meetings and model casting calls and photoshoots. Poor thing doesn't know one thing about business, despite how much she prides herself on her long forgotten "hostessing" skills at the high end restaurant she worked for before she landed paydirt with her Morgan marriage.

I was so impressed with the way Luann handled herself (also that she gets invited to parties with ambassadors and Martha Stewart).  Luann read Martha fricken Stewart, and that is saying something.

Frankel and Leftfield, led by CEO Brent Montgomery, are also collaborating on unscripted series Closet Porn and Cocktail Porn in addition to Food Porn. The latter, which hails from Leftfield Entertainment's Loud TV and is executive produced by Frankel, debuts Thursday on FYI.

A show glorifying food indulgence, produced by a person who doesn't eat. Sounds like a winner.

Bravo has the first trailer of S8 up:

 

http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/real-housewives-of-new-york-city-season-8-premiere-date

 

It definitely feels different without Heather and Kristen there to stand up to Bethenny. And Ramona and Lu getting along.

 

And we get a look at the new HW, Julianne Wainstein, who is Jewish and half Japanese. Page Six said she was a recommendation from/friend of Dorinda's. And speaking of Dorinda, it looks like B gets into it with John.

Was a little bit on the fence about watching anymore with Heather gone, but this actually looks pretty good. Wasn't expecting it to be starting up again so soon, but it gives me a good excuse to pass on RH of Dallas. ATL & BH should be over or winding down by the time this starts.  I hate how the 3 i follow always seem to overlap.

Thanks for posting!  I am excited that they'll be back so soon!

 

Lu, Ramona, Carole and - god help me - Bethenny look pretty good.  Beth's shorter hair is definitely more flattering. 

 

Dorinda looks terrible and seems as deranged as ever.

 

Sonja's delusions have not faded over the last year, apparently.

Bethenny is unbelievable.  I still don't know why she can never have enough. I think she looks terrible and insane.  Will I still watch? Absolutely.

I loved Kristen. Well, enjoyed.

I also enjoy Bethenny, which sucks because so many here don't and the conversation is less fun for me. I totally get the dislike, though.

As long as nobody has or claims to have an illness I think this will be good. Unless the Sonja stuff gets all serious and sad. I need clean, stupid housewives fun.

Scoobie, all the shows are retreads. Lol at LuLu saying that 'they are all trying to take her down'. Remember the convo between Jill, Kelly and LuLu plotting someone's demise. Bethenny's I think. I can still see pictures of them putting their brain cell together.

Hopefully instead of 'repeating word for word' what their decided storyline is they'll live it out. Or here's a novel approach .... just be themselves so we can pick on them naturally. :D

I'm hoping I can get interested again so I can enjoy getting to know everyone here and post more often. I'm hoping.

And B has a medical scare? I hope it's not the lyme.

Looks like she's still dressing like a teenager. Or maybe she accidentally put on Brynn's skirt that morning.

Ugh.

It will be very difficult to watch the Bethy adderalled steamroller.

Awww, I enjoy Bethenny. At times. But I also think her return did her public image more harm than good, and it revealed her unrelenting, judgmental and downright bitchy side. I don't think these qualities magically appeared overnight, but before the power dynamic was different so there was more of a balance there. Now it's harder to watch her because you can tell most everyone is afraid of pissing her off because of her standing at Bravo, so her bad behavior goes unchecked more often. Whereas before, I think she had to own up to her mistakes more frequently because she knew she wasn't always going to get away with it. 

 

But I still enjoy having her on the cast even though she annoys me a lot more than she used to. She's still a quick wit, and that goes a long way on these HW shows.

'You feel the need to be selling John to us,' Bethenny tells her.

That's rich, coming from someone who felt the need to relentlessly market her Anorexics 'R' Us crap and woe-is-me storyline all last season.

So Kells & Veevs are actually hoping (as misguided & deluded as that is) to be asked back?  Seriously, really, Kells & Veevs?  They're both doing EXACTLY what Satan Andy hates most.  They both say how phony & fake the show is.  Um, not gonna happen, nutbags.  Also, seemed to me Bethenny has absolutely no patience for Kells.  Still, I suspect Bethenny wouldn't mind making Kells look stupid & foolish if she's dumb enough to put herself up for it.  And Veevs?  Nah.  She was too much of a PITA.  Producers (not just Satan Andy) clearly couldn't stand her.

 

The NY Post seems gleeful in pointing out the phoniness of the show.  Is it a scoop?  Eh, not really.  I don't think most viewers care.  Besides, it just makes it more entertaining to watch them rip each other apart, while revealing their lies.  I'm game.  Bring it, Bethenny.  Just don't cry every 2 seconds cuz I'm out if that's what's gonna be.  

 

So Bethenny has a health scare?  Um, OK.  At least she ain't gonna be faking it.  I don't think, at least.  Doesn't seem like her style at all.  Ah, but that's the latest shtick in all of Satan Andy's shows now, so who knows?  I don't even especially care if she does fake a health scare.  As long as she keeps it entertaining & doesn't endlessly cry her freakin' eyes out, I'll watch.

 

Now, this is the kinda stuff I like seeing.  Bring us more of this, NY Post-

But....but.....but where is JillZ?  She wants to get hired back too.  Maybe Cindy Barshop (??) too.   Have a feeling though that Alex's phone will be busy if they try to call. 

 

I can see the wheels turning (ok that might be just a wheel) in Andy's head.  Hire them all.  Yes, yes, Andy will hire them all.   Can't you just see it!  Almost too hard to wait for it!  A new series called the Fired HWs of NY and for short, the FHONYs.

Well, Cindy's "crime" was that she was dull, dull, dull.  Her non-stop eye-rolling was a snooze.  She'll never be asked back.  And Jillzy?  Who knows?  Sounds like Bethenny isn't having it with Jillzy.  I don't blame her.  She's too controlling & unpredictable & manipulative.  Even if B were to permit Jillzy to come back, just to roast & toast her, Jillzy could turn it around on her & make B look bad.  It ain't worth the risk.  I get the impression Satan Andy would give her a shot, but Bethenny is running this thing now, so it ain't gonna happen for Jillzy to come back now.

 

Surprised to see the quote from Alex in the NY Post piece.  I figured Bravo threw dough at 'em to shut 'em up & throw 'em far, far, far away.  I've looked at their Twitters & neither of them seem to have jobs & yet they seem awfully comfy down under in Australia.  Hmmmm, just sayin' . . .

Just saw the intro for the new season on the Bravo website - they have changed the theme music again! I quite like it but just think it's odd to have changed it three times now for this franchise, but never with any others (except Miami). Also, Bethenny and Dorinda have new looks but the others don't.

The new US Weekly has a tidbit on Dorinda and Teresa Guidice being new BFFs. Apparently Dorinda reached out with letters when Teresa "was away," and the two have since spent time together following Tre's release. I wonder what the other HWs think of that.
