I HATE that RHOA is ending. Sorry guys, but I can't get into the OC and I especially found the addition of Quinn and Tamara dull. I don't think they added anything to the show but more silicone. Besides the joy of making fun of Lori (aka man face because I think she looks like one), it was ok.

And the NY season, I didn't even watch that much. Outside of Jill and the Countess, everyone else got on my nerves, especially Bethanny and the the lady married to the French guy (I can't think of her name but she was from Kansas). They use to go on and on and on about how high society they were!

I hope they bring back a season two of RHOA! And I can't WAIT for their reunion show to air either! :D

I love the Real Housewives of Orange County, but couldn't get into NY or ATL. The NY women were so into "society", but all I could think was that no one who was actually in NY society would agree to be on a Bravo TV show. As for ATL, the list goes on and on for why I can't stand them.

I agree with the above poster that the addition of Quinn did nothing for the show in OC. I liked Tamara, mostly because I thought her situation was amusing- she seemed ever so slightly trashy, yet was pretty wealthy. Apparently this season Simon quit his job with Mercedes and is a stay at home dad. Should be interesting!

I love love love the RHOA because it is so ghetto - it's like a cheesy, trashy novel, a soap opera and Jerry Springer all rolled into one. I liked the OC and NY wives, too. With every episode, they prove that money can't buy class.

I actually liked the NY wives, mostly Jill because she's not ashamed to tell you what's on her mind.. But I hated Alex and her husband SImon, they always talked out how much they wanted to move up in society and actually scanned the society pages in the newspaper to see if they were mentioned. I like RHOA because the girls are soo ghetto but they think that they are actually high class, especially NeNe she's a riot. The only housewife of Atlanta that I actually like is Lisa because she actually works for her money and is probably the most normal.

Alex! Yes, that is her name. That couple did get on my LAST nerve. :mad:

^^ Didn't they name one of their kids Francois?? That's just asking for your kid to be picked on, but of course since they are so high society they'll probably send their kids to an elite NY single sex private school where they won't get picked on at all. :p

^^def did.. and i love how when Francois was being evaluated he told the guy "i'm too smart for you" or something to that effect but couldn't even name the country that he lived in.. granted he's only a child but I think that his parents have raised him to be a little pretentious.

May I use that? " I really wish soandso would fall down a flight of stairs." that is great. I could say that about a couple of people right now.

I actually liked Alex and Simon; I thought they were a huge trip. On naming their kid Francois; I think Simon was Belgian or something? Like maybe he was a native French speaker?

Was Jill the single one? I liked her a lot.

Just another brother with a WG

None of them were single, Bethenny was the only one that wasn't married (although she was dating Jason).

Neither Alex nor Simon are native French speakers. Alex had said something about how they LOOOVED France and the French language and that is why they named their children that & why they insist on teaching their children to be bilingual in French.

In one of Alex's blogs she mentioned that both children were named after relatives. That's fine, but as Jill Zarin told her, give the kid a nickname or he will get his butt kicked. Bethenny is divorced and at the time dating Jason. From what I have read, they have since broken up. Bethenny keeps a blog going on the Atlanta women on the Bravo website; reading it is the highlight of my week because she is so honest.

Simon is actually from Australia.

Candidate for Mr. Blackwell's list. May he rest in peace.

Real Housewives of NYC
 

New Cast member added...
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/07...on_to_joi.html

In a brilliant casting move, Bravo! has added Kelly Killoren Bensimon to the cast of the Real Housewives of New York City. The former Elle Accessories editor (and former wife of fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon) will join the show next season the Hartford Courant reports. We love Kelly — not only is she telegenic, but she'll also say the darndest things. And going into the show, she's much more high profile than the other housewives were when they started. She has more than 40 of her own pages on PatrickMcMullan.com!
Now, let's predict how the other housewives will interact with her:
• Bethenny Frankel will be threatened by Kelly. The older woman is definitely going to shoot for Bethenny's role as the cute, sassy, funny one. But we're guessing they'll get along, as they both love a cocktail, and they're both unmarried at the moment. Girls' night out! Don't invite Simon! Oops, your boob just fell out, honey!
• The other person to feel most threatened by Kelly will be LuAnn de Lesseps. They've both got on-camera gigs for PlumTV, and they're relatively socially prominent. Kelly may not be a countess, but her former marriage to Giles Bensimon and her fashion cred combined to make her a coveted guest at benefits and parties. And she's been an Upper East Side mom long enough to be fully entrenched in that society, too. Our guess is that LuAnn will try her coolly superior act with Kelly, and Kelly will just think it's hilarious. ("Oh, you don't hang out at Cakeshop?" "No, I hang out at Maidstone, thanks.")
• Jill Zarin, the mother hen of the show, will probably take Kelly's appearance in stride. She's too busy loathing Alex McCord to bother with anyone else. Plus, we're guessing she and Kelly know people in common — probably through the Upper East Side moms' club. As long as Jill stays invited to all of Kelly's parties, we're in the clear. Maybe Kelly can even talk her out of those bangs!
• Ramona Singer will no doubt be thrilled to become friends with Kelly — because the glamorous socialite is everything Ramona wants to be. She's funny, she's sexy, and she's well connected. We're envisioning this will all go south when Ramona tries to throw Kelly into a pool somewhere, but until then, Kelly will probably humor her.
• Alex McCord will also no doubt be thrilled at Kelly's "connections." After all, Kelly is hooked up in the fashion world ("OMG, do you know Roberto Cavalli!?"). As for Kelly's interactions with the McCords, we expect they will fall into two categories: "minimal" and "hilarious."

More Clues on Big Papa
 

Big Poppa is "separated", in his late 40s, white, not an athlete and not Ted Turner or Dallas Austin.

I also just read that right before the reunion show, Lisa slapped Kim for calling her a crackwhore and Nene/Gregg were evicted from they house they were renting.

http://www.cbs46.com/video/17970812/index.html


GOOD LORD!!! Doesn't Kim look awful in this interview!! KIM ... LAY OFF THE BOTOX AND BUTT-FAT-TO-THE-LIP-INJECTIONS.

She is starting to look vewy vewy scawy :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

here's a link to the Nene Leakes story per MediaTakeout.com: http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/282...her_home_.html

^^^hahahahaa

maybe it's just me but I think that Kim looks alot better when she wears those hats because it hides her hideous hair

Dwight Eubank's Pilot for Bravo
 

Bravo did a pilot for Ne Ne's gay boyfriend, Dwight, on his hair salon. This trailer is hysterical.

http://allthingsbootylicious.com/200...ubanksreality/

"Get the hell out, and don't you come back"

^^ you know what... LMAO

Even worse... it ISN'T her hair!! It's a wig! Did you catch Nene in last week's show? She said that Kim couldn't think right because her wig was too tight & squeezing her brain.

Love that Nene!

I love the clip of Anderson Cooper on Leno talking about how he loves Ne Ne and the woman who claims to have success is only successful in divorcing an NFL player.

^^ hehe I did too. but then again I just love Anderson Cooper. :)

Housewives Reunion Drama
 

I wonder why I can't get anything done. Clips from show.

http://www.bravotv.com/blogs/The_Dis...nion_drama.php

Rumble in Atlanta!
Lisa vs. Kim and Nene vs. Kim

"Dallas Austin is NOT working w/Kim"
 

"THAT WAS 4 TV"

http://www.myspace.com/dallasaustin

Interesting. I wonder who produced her single that is due out in January.

Well yall....Kim is going to mess around and get beat down...lol. Sheree knew what to do.....she was on straight up mute because she knew that ponytail would get snatched up real quick...lol

on the phone-call to Kim, Dallas let it all out didn't he?

^^^ He had no choice. Dude had to keep his reputation intact.

I kept replaying the part where the engineer moved the headphones off one ear b/c it looked like dude couldn't take Kim's noisemaking -- b/c that was not singing.

I can't believe I actually watched all of these episodes, but it's only because it was in Atlanta.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! That was hilarious. If that show becomes reality, I'll be all over it. Thanks for posting this, Benzgirl.

That finale was really kind of anti-climactic. I did love Greg's ability to get them to see that they had all been acting like bickering little children.... not that it seems to have changed changed the behavior of any of the women! Can't wait for the reunion next week.

And what a SLUTTYTRASHY pink dress Kim chose to wear to dinner!

Interesting article posted on Yahoo today:

http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/how-real-ar...housewives--40

Lisa filed for bankruptcy?

I kinda want to see that fight, I know I'm wrong for that.

I seriously laughed the whole way through that conversation. But then of course in typical Kim style, she didn't understand why he was saying that. YES Kim, you do have a "crack in your foundation."

Probably that old man who plays the guitar, the one that has the Summer something song that she supposedly LOOOVES.

I love that Kim wasn't smart enough to catch on to Dallas trying to tell her nicely that she can't sing. And I LOOVE Michael Knight for basically telling Sheree "just because you have money doesn't mean you know what you're doing as far a trying to create a clothing line"

Can't wait for the reunion.. I saw a couple of clips and there was one scene where Lisa tells Kim that she lied about cancer...does anyone know what Lisa's referring to?

I really thought "Don't Be Tardy To The Party" was a catchier tune (surely she wasn't serious about thinking those songs would sell). Although...she did think she could sing, so who knows?

Kim was trying to defend herself saying she had lost weight (25 lbs?) and some hair, so I guess we're supposed to think she was taking chemo or radiation treatments.

At the end of the show it said Kim and Big Poppa have broken up!!!! She better pray she can sell all the things she was thanking big poppa for this season or shell be in the soup kitchen line come next season. . . .

I saw another interesting preview of the Reunion show:

NeNe and Kim are threatening to meet outside the studio to beat each others' asses. NeNe tells Kim to start keeping her legs together and calls her a ho. Lisa is so afraid that NeNe is going to jump Kim right then that she gets into NeNe's lap and at one point is hanging on her when she tries to stand. DeShawn is sitting there through all of this pretending she doesn't notice.

If you thought the series was a trainwreck, the Reunion should be the ultimate.
