    The Housewives evolve. Yes, watch what happens, if only for the richer plot lines, smarter dialogue and more pressing matters of the day.

    The Salahis are the attraction here. Judging from the season teaser, the show will spend the entire season building up to the infamous dinner-crashing scene, to which the Bravo cameras appear to had access. Remember, a fame whore needs your attention to survive. Look away now.

    Yes, I'm a reality TV fiend - it's good to have on the TV when doing mindless tasks. You hear the yapping without having to look at the TV much. But this series? Extremely thin.

They saved the backbiting for the private camera moments. So is that cowardice? Tact? Probably a bit of each. OK, maybe there is a bit more to this than I at first suggested. But not as "juicy" as Orange County, NY, or NJ - not that I watched those!! (much)… Expand
