The last episode of Imposters was pretty good. I thought Uma would feel like the big star on the wrong show but that scene with her and Maddie sitting at the table was quite fun. How does WhatsHisName know about the doctor???

Uma is a great addition to the cast. Ok I have no clue how he knew about the doctor. Cant believe the blonde lady killed him. The fallout from all that will be fun. The visit to Maddies family was interesting, the dad was funny and sad at the same time. I really really like this show.

Excited Erika is going to be on Dancing with the Stars.

That was fun to see Maddie finally come face to face with the 3 Broken Hearts. I did appreciate the irony of the Hunky One asking how she could be so cold and heartless, as men are typically the ones who can cut a person out of their life without a second thought.
It was a bit silly to have the meeting with Max out in the open in Patrick's basement. And how do the Con People not know that Patrick is in the FBI? Really?


The Hong Kong travel porn was delicious! Those views!
LisaR trying to make a storyline out of her big drug baggie is groan-worthy but at least it gets them to pull each other's pigtails.

I somehow missed your post last week. I also have to wonder how the all knowing 'doctor' doesn't know Patrick is FBI. I think what I was afraid of is happening, its getting way too convoluted. I almost wish they hadnt found her yet. It was more fun watching them trying to figure out the art of the con. So now they are all gonna be a part of the con? They might be losing me on this one. Only 3 more episodes left seems like a short season.

What an episode of Beverly Hills! That was hilarious. Couldn't believe Erika went at Eileen like that...wow (though she did apologize on WWHL with Andy). Loved everyone going at Dorit she bugs me and I love seeing her squirm. Rinna is hysterical, shes a nutjob most of the time but damn she makes me LOL. The scenery is absolutely travel porn, I was sad it rained during the trip to see the Buddha. That view would have been even more stunning in nice weather.

Yes, that was a pretty good episode of ROBH. Gave me fond memories of the dinner with Alison Dubois. Erika's attack on Eileen was a shocker. She wouldn't even listen to reason! LisaR asking Dorit about cocaine was so unnecessary. I really can't stand LisaR at this point but I'll admit that she makes for a good Housewife. Thank god Kyle and her OTT facial expressions. She makes me chuckle.

That Buddha was pretty cool. Probably one of those things you have to see in person to experience the full majesty of it. LVP wanting to add that cow to her collection was amusing.


I'm remaining cautiously optimistic with Imposters for now. I liked that the 3 Broken Hearts were becoming con people to find Maddie but they're pushing it with them becoming a part of the Doctor's crew. I could see it all going off the rails if the show doesn't put a fun spin on it.

I have to wonder why Erikas reaction was so out of control. I know she very rarely talks about her son so I can see why she wouldn't want it brought up but this was clearly something else. I dont know how far out they film so maybe something else was going on at the time with all the recent law enforcement incidents and she was just overly sensitive due to that. Clearly all is well now with her and Eileen though since she is coming back on Y&R and Eileen was in the crowd with Rinna supporting her on DWTS.

Rinna was surely stirring the pot for all it was worth. The coke question was unnecessary but I laughed anyway. Kyles facial expressions are everything!

Are you watching the Beverly Hills reunion episodes, jbrr? I'd had enough of Panty-Gate and LisaR's Xanax "addiction" by the end of the finale but am somewhat curious as to whether anything interesting might come to light. I skipped the first one.

I guess the finale of Impostors was OK but Ezra ending up with the ring seemed pretty silly.

Yeah I am watching the reunions. You didn't miss anything skipping the first it was all rehash mostly about pantygate. It ended with Erika confronting PK. So probably part 2 will pick up with that and go a while longer on pantygate then switch to Kim vs Rinna again. Part 3 will probably be the only one worth watching.

Atlanta reunion strarted tonight its 4 parts and supposed to be totally crazy and possibly led to one or more of the Atl women not being asked back next season.

As a whole I still really liked Imposters but they lost me a bit over the last few episodes. I will check out season 2 if it gets renewed but they need to reel in the silly, convoluted plot twists. I don't know that Bravo can afford Uma full time but they need to find a way. She was fantastic.

Kyle said something about things not going well with Rinna at the Reunion when she was on WWHL, so maybe I'll record Parts 2 and 3 and use them as background noise.

Seemed like Sonja is taking a more active part in stirring the pot on NYC, at least from the first two episodes. Bethenny rudely greeting Tinsley made me chuckle.

The end of Impostors made it look like Uma's character was taking a step up in her importance but that was probably a big tease.

Kim with the bunny giving it back to Rinna was awkward. Not sure how she wanted that to come off but Kim came off looking petty and bitter. She had the higher ground in her argument with Rinna until then. Rinna looked legit stunned and hurt (ok i know shes an actress lol). Funny segments about Eden and her hugs and how all the ladies greet each other. Not much else.

I somehow missed one of the NY episodes. I've only seen one but I dont even know if it was the premier or the 2nd one. It was the one where Bethenny rudely greeted Tinsley so whichever that was, yeah it was funny. Sonja is basically on the outs with everyone and nobody wanted to film with her so thats why shes the stirrer and they brought Tinsley in to be her puppet. I do like Tinsley so far from what I've seen, she could be a fun addition. Carol bores me to tears. I swear they keep her around just because shes close with Bethenny.

I would love for Uma to take over the spot Sally had. That would be fun.

It took me a couple tries to get through Part 2 of the BH reunion, and I skipped over most of the Pantygate discussion. I'm not sure why they gave Kim so much airtime but I agree that giving the bunny back made her look bad. And, of course, Rinna's reaction had to be one of adding more fuel to their feud. I felt kinda bad for Eden, as her segment made her look like the brunt of a joke.

Tinsley stepped right into a mess with being friends with Sonja, then. I didn't realize Sonja was so far on the outs with the other ladies but it makes sense with how her scenes are playing. I don't mind small doses of Carol but I agree that she's only there because of her friendship with Bethenny. She brings nothing else to the table and seems more like a social acquaintance than a friend with the other ladies. There was an interesting discussion at the other place about how Ramona is in a weird place this season because she's in a third-wheel position with how the others have buddy-ed up.

Absolutely nothing interesting on the BH final reunion episode. So disappointing.

NY is a giant mess. I'm very curious to see how it gets edited because there are alot of details out there about filming so its going to be fun to see how that plays out.

Imposters is back for season 2.

The best part about Part 3 of BH's reunion was Max's furnished apartment.

It's weird that Bethenny and Ramona are on the outs like this after they've known each other for so many years. It feels like a "scripted" kind of thing, or maybe Bethenny is more rotten than I've given her credit for. Tinsley is a nice addition. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to live with silly Sonja. Looking forward to when Tinsley feels comfortable enough to start slinging mud with the rest of them.

There is alot of speculation about what is really up with Ramona. Rumors say she ends up on the outs with everyone by the end of the season. So its either her turn as the villain this season courtesy of production or she really has been drinking too much pino grigio and is just spouting off to stir the pot. Bethenny is a real bitch by all accounts but Ramona approaching her about the movie by using Brynn was pretty out of line. I really like Tinsley a lot so far. Is it just me or does Sonja look COMPLETELY different in her talking heads than she does during the actual scenes? Ramona looks a bit different in some of hers to but with Sonja its very jarring.

In other non surprising news Eden is confirmed to be off RHOBH next season and Phaedra is out in Atl. with Kim and probably Nene both back next season.

I liked Eden Sassoon. She's kinda kooky and has her own point of view, and a different connection to the industry. I'd rather they'd gotten rid of Eileen, who comes off as a puppet for LisaR more and more with each passing season. I love Eileen's soap characters but she sucks as a housewife.

Oh well, maybe we'll get an interesting new housewife for next season. Although, Beverly Hills hasn't been very good at integrating new housewives and making them stick.


The only thing I can figure with Bethenny and Ramona is that there is some off-set agreement that the kids aren't to be brought into things in a derogatory manner, which is what Ramona did. I don't think what happened here was worse than LisaR accusing Dorit of doing cocaine with children in her home, though. But then Bethenny is a much bigger bitch than Dorit, so...

Are you enjoying this season of NYC, jbrr? I think it's been better than last season, so far. A little less Bethenny has been a good thing. Carole has been funny and I love it when Dorinda gets sippy and lippy. She made me laugh so many times in the last episode.

They ran some old episodes a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe how much better Ramona looked with short hair. She drives me a little crazy with how ratty her hair looks most of the time.

I am living for Dorinda this season.

Less Bethenny is good for this season but knowing all the crazy stalking stuff with Jason was going on in the middle of filming and all this other stuff makes me sad for her.

Ramonas hair is a mess. Well Ramona is a mess lol.

Ok you reminded me when you mentioned housewives in the other thread...

LuAnn falling in the bushes was hilarious. The Countess would have never done that lol.

Ramona and Sonja are ridiculous. I would want to kill them but they do make me laugh.

I am enjoying Carole more this season.

LuAnn falling in the bushes was so awesome! There were plenty of comments about her being a good travel partner.

Carole has been a great source of humor with her Talking Heads. It's nice that they've used her as this kind of comic relief, as she's not one to get down in the mud like the others.

It did make sense what Sonja(?) was saying about Ramona not being happy but faking that she is happy being the cause of Ramona's bizarre behavior. Ramona has taken her skill at being awful to great heights this season. Occasionally, they squeeze a laugh out of me but usually they just make me cringe.

With the way Bethenny carried on about Ramona being on her best behavior, I thought we were going to meet at least one of her business partners. That tequila dinner made my mouth water, though.


I feel like you don't watch OC. Right?

We dont see sloshed LuAnn enough lol.

Ramona is especially awful this season.

I kept thinking that about Bethenny too when she kept stressing it was partly a business thing.

I watch bits and pieces of OC. I watched the premier but only snippets of episodes since. I like Meghan as a mom, it suits her. I loathe Shannon.

I loathe Shannon.
Ohhhh, I can see how that would make it difficult to watch OC. I think Kelly Dodd is awful but I still find her somewhat amusing when she interacts with the other ladies. Vicki is just a gross human being to me but I can still sit through most of her scenes.

Did you hear about Terry Dubrow having an affair and the mistress had to be paid off? I guess Kelly shouted something about it out of the window of the bus last season but Heather got them to edit it out. There was speculation the real reason Heather didn't come back was because she didn't want it talked about onscreen.

This season may be wonky with Tamra and Shannon not wanting to film with Vicki. I guess Tamra said something about them trying to go back to the early seasons and have them spend more time with their families. If this week's episode was any indication, it may be a boring season. None of them are very interesting on their own.



Lots of comments about this season of NYC being their best. I'd say it's in the Top 3 with seasons 2 and 3.

Holy cow that was quick! I would say the whole thing was a publicity stunt if it would have been a wedding by Bravo, but since it wasn't I just feel bad for LuAnn.

This is easily one of the best seasons of NYC. Each lady brings something to the group and I dont flat out hate any of them even if they are nuts.

I had heard rumors of Terrys affair but not the pay off part but its not surprising. I'm sure that was probably part of why she didnt come back. Also the HOA where they built their new house would not allow filming there so that was a big issue too. I think she also wanted more money.

That party was super awkward and weird for a finale. Glad Tinsley seems to have found a nice guy. Ramona blaming all her antics on being lonely was convenient and annoying but it does make sense. I feel bad for LuAnn, those comments by Tom were way out of line.

The reunion looks intense.

That was an odd finale, especially following the trip to Mexico. I thought the drama between Tinsley and Sonja felt mostly manufactured. Scott seems like a good guy but my gut feeling is that if he doesn't provide Tinsley with enough drama, she'll seek it out somewhere else. When Ramona said she didn't know if she'll find someone, I think that was the first time I felt for her this season. Something other than annoyance, that is. LuAnn can be such a phony at times that it's difficult to tell if there really was a great love for Tom, or she just wanted to see it that way. He didn't seem like a man deeply in love in any of their scenes that I can remember.

Usually, I dread the rehashing of all the past drama during the reunions but I am intrigued by what LuAnn has to say about Tom dissing her on camera. I don't know if I can sit through another round of Bethenny vs. Ramona, lol.

Do you have any thoughts or insight about BRAVO making Bethenny do a softer version of herself for this show before they air her new show with that idiot Fredrik? There's quite a noticeable change, and I wondered if BRAVO wanted to do some damage control.

Tom always seemed off and clearly it wasn't just to the viewers since even those in her circle expressed concerns. I just cant believe she would go through with the wedding knowing what she knew. I dont see what she had to gain from pushing so hard for it to happen. Just to avoid looking like a fool? That seems really silly even for LuAnn.

I'm sure this whole show with Fredrik is an image repair job. I know there was quite a bit of friction between bffs Bethenny and Andy Cohen leading into this season so it wouldn't shock me if there was some sort of deal made to give her a platform to go back to being the kinder gentler Bethenny again. Win-win for Bravo.

There was friction between Andy and Bethenny? I didn't hear about that juicy gossip.

I just can't believe LuAnn gave up her title for some doofus. At least Jacques was kinda sexy and charming. With the way it seems so many women are caught in Tom's orbit, I wonder if there was some thrill of bagging a guy who'd never been married.

Yeah B and Andy were in a spat because she was unhappy with her edit last season and Andy was upset with some of her more public meltdowns during the end of her divorce. He cancelled her Sirius radio show that was on his channel. Thats why early this season she refused to film with certain people (remember the party where she went to pick up Carole and refused to get out of the car?) her way of throwing a temper tantrum. They eventually made up sometime around the holidays and when all the Jason stalking stuff came out. Shortly after is when this new show was announced.

I'm so confused about Tom, maybe the draw is that he had never been married. I hadn't thought of that but it has to be something for all those women to be stuck in his orbit. I definitely dont find him particularly attractive and I'm sure hes not poor but I dont get the impression hes rolling in dough either.
