Generic Real Housewives thread. Comments on any franchise welcome.

[happilybemused]

As there isn't a lot of traction on individual threads I thought I'd create a generic thread as most of us seem fond of a few.

Loving the New Jersey trailer released today. Teresa is back to her table crashing ways. She seemed so chilled on the ultimate girls trip as well !

Ericaaaaaa....talkinggggg...so...slowly.... at...Crystal's ...partyyyyy.....

Whats that all about? So ruddy put on and annoying

And Kathy Hilton pushing her Tequila! I have second hand embarrassment for her 😄

Please tell me someone has seen the latest RHOBH? Lisa Rinna - "if I hold on to this secret I will get cancer and die".

I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT. Surely she is on her way out of the show, what a thing to say, what an insult to anyone suffering with cancer.

this is obvs in reference to the whole Aspen situation with Kathy Hilton.

yes - I watched it this morning & couldn't quite believe what I was hearing!

Seems they have been rumbled & totally think that Erika is aware her publicist has leaked it & Rinna knows it too. Trying to protect Kyle my arse

@gyarados yes, was nice to see common sense prevailing amongst all the others (except EJ) when she said that. Very much looking forward to the reunion now. I don't think any of the other ladies are buying what Rinna or EJ are selling anymore.

I agree, finally some common sense. Also justice for LVP, glad to see her weighing in on Twitter. Don't know how to leak stories my arse !

Just watched it, find Rinna really difficult, comes from a very mean spirited place but uses phrases like 'i hope she thinks, how can I learn, how can I be better?' about other people!!

I have to say Garcelle is far and away my favourite, seems like the only real, grown up person there.

"Haven't watched in years" my arse

That's exactly what I thought 😂

Re. Kathy’s tequila, it was a deal with the show that she could promote it, much like the show allows others to hustles their wares.

Nothing to be embarrassed about imo, it’s savvy business sense and besides, Kathy named her terms to Andy Cohen and the rest of RHOBH producers. Rinna is crazy envious (and angry) about that and others things, mostly that Kathy gets paid the same as her, despite only being a friend of the housewives rather than a full-time housewife/cast member

Rinna is a garbage human being. She learnt very quickly that it’s better to be the manipulator rather than the manipulated. Her faux outrage and fright about Kathy’s meltdown was astonishingly hypocritical. Who remembers her throwing a glass at Kim and lashing out.

A true friend would have dropped the matter after Kathy apologised to Kyle. But no, Rinna kept going on about it even though Kyle asked her not too. I actually think it was her selling stories, not Erika’s publicist. That said, I think Erika was in on it too.

The reunion will be interesting viewing.

I love this thread. Just read the whole thing while I was supposed to be working.
I've completed RHONY and am up to date with BH and just about to start series 9 of NJ.

I'm getting bored of BH now, I used to like Rinna now she is desperate for storylines. Erika is hideous and Diana is equally horrible. The only ones I like are Sutton and Garcelle but they aren't very interesting.
I loved the UGT series, especially the Bluestone Manor one, but Dorinda seemed very unhinged and not in a good place at all, which is sad because her and Sonja were my favourite NY housewives for a while.
I'm getting tired of NJ as every season seems to follow the same pattern, trouble brewing with Melissa, Joe and Teresa, Kim D stirring then it all coming to a head at the Posh fashion show. Yawn!! I'm persevering with it though because I can't stop and I want to finish it all so I can move on to either SLC or Atlanta (any suggestions which one is best?)

@mooshypooshy totally agree about Dorinda, her and Sonja were my faves on NY until Dorinda's obsession with Tinsley.

Atlantic and SLC are both great, I'd do SLC first as there's only been 2 seasons so you could binge then be up to date for the weekly episodes. Then you could watch Atlanta, but there are so many seasons! Potomac is also v v good, would really recommend that.

@mooshypooshy Definitely Atlanta and Potomac.

Atlanta is a lot of seasons so the first seasons seem incredibly dated. I'd suggest starting at season 5 when Kenya and Porsha show up.

Then go back snd appreciate the seasons 1-4 with Kim Z, Ne Ne and Sheree. Kim having a cigarette and a glass of wine whilst driving/ Big Poppa/ Close your legs to married men !

Potomac is also excellent. The first series is a bit slow. I'd start at season 2 and then go back.

I prefer Potomac and Atlanta because they make me laugh. They are shady and horrible but in a funny, upbeat way.

Very unpopular opinion but I find SLC unwatchable because they are so bland and boring.

Still can't tell Meredith and Lisa apart. They are both accusing each other of being unfaithful ho's with boring husbands

Whitney and Heather's entire personality is built around who left being a Mormon more dramatically

It's not for me but most people seem to love it

Trailer for RHOBH out and it looks as if Kathy is not holding back

@marmiteadict that looks really lively!

@MoniJitchell @marmiteadict
Thanks for the tips. I'm seriously addicted to these.

Everyone else in my life thinks I'm batshit crazy watching this nonsense. It's so good to find like minded crazies to talk to!!
Watched RBOH last night. That scene at the end when Erika is squirming is just golden. She totally knew her publicist was leaking, so did Rinna probably.
Looking forward to the reunion when Kathy tells Rinna she's the biggest bully in Hollywood. I've read that Rinna has quit, but I don't think we've seen the last of her, much as I dislike her, she is totally watchable if only for the lips and the outfits!!

Wow @marmiteadict that trailer looks interesting! Kathy looks spot on with her words to Rinna…. Although when Kathy mentions what Rinna did to her sister I assume she means Kim?

@Justfivemoreminutesplease Yes, she means Kim. Not sure if she is referring to Rinna saying Kim was 'close to death', throwing the glass and making as if to grab her, the threatening texts or one of the many other things she did to her over the years - hopefully she lists all of those things to remind everyone what a bitch Rinna is.

I don’t know how Harry Hamlin puts up with her I would love Lisa to come back.

Potomac back on Prime today.

totally agree, I miss LVP

Just watched it. One of my favourite franchises because they are not afraid to call each other out but it doesn't go dark.

Considering Wendy is super intelligent with various degrees, why on earth is she considering going into business with Peter Thomas. Did she ever watch Atlanta? Clearly not.

Peter Thomas popping up is interesting, i'm sure he's popped up in one of the other ones too although can't remember which.

Phaedra keep appearing in other shows as well although I doubt she'd make a return to RHOA

Just watched first episode of new series RHOP. It's such a contrast to BH and SLC. I love the fast paced dialogue, they're so witty, don't beat around the bush. Say it as it is. Would love to see Gizelle face up to Lisa Rinna or Erica. She'd wipe the floor with them!

Anyone seen the RHOBH Reunion yet? Diana doesn't come across well. I just don't buy the whole Dorit house invasion story, something doesn't add up. I laughed when Andy 'swallowed another yawn' while she was rambling on again!!!
Don't really see the point of JLC being on there either, apart from to promote her charity.
