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 !

As an aside, did anyone ever watch Racing Wives? It was only 1 season, but blooming heck, they’re a vile bunch on there!

I totally realise I’m a reverse smug when I watch these shows. I love seeing the gorgeous houses, the amazing holiday locations, the parties, the clothes - but I feel slightly smug that I’m not that materialistic, not that much of a bitch and that my idea of decor is far superior!

Just catching up with the OC lot.
How many tabs and or vitamins does Terry Dubrow take at night???
I was desperately trying to see what other things he had in his cabinet too!

@Getmeoutta1ere

Miami is well worth a binge from series one, not too many to catch up with really, the first reunion is so different, enjoy!
Oh the season 1 reunion when...

SPOILER ALERT

X and y have an actual fight!

END OF SPOILER

Getmeoutta1ere · 08/01/2022 21:23

🤣 yeah 😂

I thought it was miami, but now am not sure - one of the franchise shows had a weird/none sort of reunion but been googling and cannot think why or what or who or where it actually was 🙄 who said tv rots ya brain 😬

Bortles · 08/01/2022 22:25

Sonia and Bethany lover here. Went off the BH and OC ones. Only Rhony for me now.

Bortles · 08/01/2022 22:26

Bethenny!! Stupid phone.

Bortles · 08/01/2022 22:30

Oh god and Tinsley. Can't forget her. She does a good job with her piranha underbite and piranha mother. Sorry, sorry, I do actually love her.

Fan of Atlanta, New Jersey and Beverly Hills. Am watching earlier Atlanta seasons, Cynthia's face looks different now-is it fillers?
The current cast of NJ is great. I think it's cos they've all been friends for so long. Didn't like earlier seasons with all the Guiduice family drama.
Can't really get into RHONY, but I do love Bethenneys one-liners!

Just catching up with OC and is wondering if anyone else has gone a full 180 on Heather and Shannon.

I used to find Shannon unbearable and looked forward to Heather's return.

However in the last episode I was really uncomfortable with how Heather spoke to Shannon and made her apologise to Terry.

Shannon just looked broken and took it all. Even Terry seemed embarrassed. (Even PK finally accepted as a man you don't get involved in the drama as you end up looking awful.)

I get that Shannon got drunk off camera and told Gina and Emily something she shouldn't about Nicole suing Terry.

But it was Gina and Emily who brought it up at the party on camera and wasted 35k of sushi. (There are no words) They got very little flack.

Nicole, a friend for 6 years didn't mention she'd sued your husband in the past got absolutely no flack.

Also loving Miami and may have to watch back to get some context.

Alexia seems to have enough drama for all of them. Thought the scene between herself, her sons and her fiancee was very sad.

The fiancee was telling an ugly truth and it was difficult to take all round.

Loving Julia. Looking at the preview, clearly they've all had enough of terrible Miami men and will use Martina and Julia as a blueprint to explore other options. Can't say I blame them.

Not sure I can tell the difference between Marysol, Lisa and Larsa at this point. Had the same problem with Lisa and Meredith on SLC initially so there is hope !

Yes I've come to the end of current Miami so have gone right back to the beginning.

What is very clear is how much better women look without the fake plastic surgery.

Loving Julia and Martina. I guess Julia isn't trying to attract men so can age more naturally. She is beautiful.

Latest in SLC is that Mary did not attend the reunion.

Not sure if this means she has left and will not be back season 3.

I thought she was quirky and a character in season 1 but not entirely sure about her season 2.

Apparently recently her cousin posted a you tube video about how she was having an affair with the chap who remortgaged his house (Cameron)

Also that her husband was having affairs with various young members of the congregation.

So bailed on the reunion.

The cousin interview is wild! Im not surprised she bailed! But gutted as it dont look like her running a cult will be addressed! Loving SLC at moment, can't get back into OC , find heather so annoying!
Uptoongirl · 10/01/2022 10:18

@happilybemused I totally agree about OC, while I don't like Heather she did make good tv and I thought the first couple of episodes were stronger than last season. However she was clearly looking for an opportunity to jump on shannon, I couldn't watch the "it's not a threat, its a promise" scene. Soo cringe. Genuinely I can't see why shannon wouldn't mention that Heather is hanging round someone who sued her husband and I was waiting for shannon to say that rather than cowering. Also watching Terry and Heather bouncing around at the racing....I feel like I've see their bedroom moves and it was not hot.

It's frustrating Mary is not going to be questioned at the reunion, she has been horrible this season (not even getting into the cult/affairs), she has been so two faced and her comments to Jenny were shocking.

Miami is strong this season, loving alexia. Her life is like a soap opera but she seems to handle it well. I think Todd is really good for her, I think she should listen to him but she is very protective over both her sons and it blinds her. Her eldest is very troubled but she does him no favours by cleaning up his mess. I think they should have kept a smaller cast as some of the ladies just seem to be there but not part of the group. I am not a fan of Adriana, wasn't in the older seasons and she doesn't seem to have changed. Love Marysol. How random is it seeing martina navratilova on a show like rh? I love her but wouldn't have thought she would have wanted to be part of something like this.

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 10/01/2022 13:51

Just coming on to say thank you for the recommendation as I’m loving Miami! I’d previously avoided it as I wasn’t keen on the sound of it (who was the model - Joanna? - that sued Brandi for saying that her “lady parts” smelt of fish Hmm) so I’ve jumped straight into the new series and it’s great! Think Lisa (?) looked so much better in the flashbacks to when she had less obvious work done on her face. And all it’s made me want to do is go out and invest heavily in gold, silver and diamond bracelets!!

Buttons294749 · 10/01/2022 20:04

Awww glad you are enjoying it. And yes cant velieve lisa is only 38!

Joanna is an interesting person with major anger/alcohol issues. Her seasons are worth watching!

Campervan69 · 10/01/2022 20:32

Lisa is only 38! OMG. She looks terrible. Never marry a plastic surgeon is my take from all that.

Firesidefox · 10/01/2022 20:41

I've been bingeing RHOBH but have got to Season 9 and they're all stitching up LVP who I love so I'm going off it.

HATE Lisa Rinna. Erika a cold bitch. Dorit weird although her husband looks fun.

Campervan69 · 10/01/2022 20:45

I love LVP as well. Also went off RHOBH for the same reason. Mean girls ganging up on her as jealous. Her house so beautiful. Erica is cold hard steel. Fascinating what is happening now though so.dragged me back to the series out of pure voyeurism.

Orpheline · 10/01/2022 21:26

As short-lived as it was, DC is worth watching.

theNumbersStation · 10/01/2022 21:32

I went right off the rhobh after the Denise stuff.

Proper mean girls stuff.

I hate the pack mentality stuff (also seen in Jersey) and they went for her with no mercy.

LR acts like she belongs in the underworld. E is not much better. And frankly I am not surprised at the events unfolding in that regard.

They were a pack of bastards to LVP too.

Puts me clean off.

Orpheline · 10/01/2022 21:50

They're steadily losing all the characters from each show. I suppose that they're the ones with real careers. LVP has 2 of her own shows, and her string of restaurants.

theNumbersStation · 10/01/2022 22:50

Margaret is still pushing my F button.

Hard.

Ashley is quickly joining her.

baggies · 12/01/2022 20:15

Just watching episode 3 of Rhonda

@baggies

Just watching episode 3 of Rhonda
Oops rhoj and have deleted it. Maybe it's because I'm binge watching Potomac but it's so slow, staged, contrived and the women are so wooden. The banter in Potomac is non stop. I'm in awe of their put downs, responses and language. Not going to bother with Jersey again. Dull as dishwater. Is Atlanta like Potomac? Think that will be my next binge watch.
