The Real Housewives of Orange County (S18)

I was slightly worried about how they were going to follow up last season especially with that post-reunion scene with the 5 veterans having a kumbaya moment, but I trust these women to deliver another stellar season. Jenn and Gretchen vs. Tamra will carry the first half of the season, and it’s only a matter of time until some new misfortune falls upon Shannon which will inevitably carry the back half of the season. As long as the supporting players can bring some cute individual storylines, we are in good shape.
 
Finally at cyst and disease and my thoughts on season six are largely that Alexis, Gretchen and especially Jeana are all huge losers. Gretchen questioning if Vicki is faking her hospitalization to take away from Alexis’ ugly dress event?!

“Do you think it’s ironic at all?”
“That she’s bleeding out of her asshole on the day of Alexis’ event?” lfjabgxbd, this was the season Tamra became a star.

I just finished season 16 for the first time, and after reading this thread back, I think you were all way too harsh on it at the time. Sure, the cast was frakensteined together and barely meshed, but it was still a light and easy watch, all thanks to Noella's charisma and Emily having her best season yet. Heather absolutely does not work as an anchor but I enjoyed having her back on the show, if only to watch her get riled up by every word that came out of Noella’s mouth.

I assume Heather gave Bravo an ultimatum and threatened to quit if they brought Noella back because I really don't understand why they'd sack her after she carried the entire season. The way Heather can't deal with strong personalities, in the same way she ran after Kelly Dodd joined the cast, makes her look like such a loser. I would have loved to see Tamra play (and argue) with Noella!
 
He/Him
The new season 17 title cards and transition screens are so ugly and cheap. The editors deserve the guillotine!!! Banished to the little family van!!!
I think this statement can be used for Orange County, Potomac and Beverly Hills - they all got hideous new opening/transition graphics. I think it's the only good thing I can say about PHONY, I liked their new take on the opening/transition graphics... at least compared to these ones.
 
Obsessed with Tamra vs. Vicki in the season 7 finale. It’s so obvious that Brooks is garbage and it’s hilarious to watch Vicki be in such denial. She’s down bad.

If Jeana and her awful daughter pop up without warning one more time…
