While I am waiting for new BH, I got an appetite for housewives content... so I thought I'd check out Sydney (never watched it) Chile I'm only 1 episode IN and asking myself what the hell is this... There is so much venom and unhinged energy in this cast... I think I'll binge this tonight. I'm already little scared by both Athena and Victoria. TELL ME IT'S CONSISTENLY GOOD throughout please.

I really hope you enjoy it... like I did. 😊 If you get a chance, please let me know what you think!

Hasn't this clown been giving them 24 hours ultimatums to do whatever he tells them to do... For like... weeks now.

Chile I'm watching the news... and...

I didn't know there was Rhode Island or maybe I forgot... I'll check it out when I'm up to date with BH. I have 3 more episodes. I was just at the "READ THE ROOM AND KNOW YOUR PLACE" moment. 😁

"I make in a month what he makes in a year" BITCH how many times will you repeat this. WE GOT IT. Your poor husband.

OK. I'm taking what I said about Kyle... back. I'M NOT OKAY with her anymore in this season. It's episode 12 and the way she's trying to present Dorit... like she is some kind of mentally unstable... woman... when she KNOWS what that could do to her... during a divorce and custody dispute... OMG... JUST WHEN I was beginning to think we are getting a different Kyle this season. Disgusting.

OH MY GOD.... I'm watching now again... AMANDA is an absolute sociopath. Please put her in one room with Jody Claman and lock the door. Every word out of this woman's mouth is either a lie or... an exaggeration... AND SHE IS OBSESSED WITH painting herself as the victim... I was raised by this type of monster... she literally makes me relive childhood trauma just listening to her voice. THANK GOD I don't have people like this in my life anymore... I'm literally crossing myself and saying Thank God... this is not in my house and it's just someone on TV. Maybe that's one of the reasons this season is hitting me so much... I'm literally happy that I cut a person like this out of my life... and making me see it in action... makes me so happy I DID.

I'm waiting for Friday so I can binge the entire week. I CAN'T WAIT. @janea4old - thanks.

I binge-watched the first 9 episodes of the new Beverly Hills season... And I have some things to say. First off... I honest to God have no clue how fans are reacting to this season, since I've completely ditched Housewives forums and media for the last few months. Honestly, I just haven't had the time... so I'm totally in the dark about whether people are loving or hating this season. I think I caught a TikTok clip of Sarah Michelle Gellar calling this season "boring". That's literally the only hint I've got about the audience's reaction... And I'm still behind on all your comments... but I'll catch up once I binge the next episodes and get up to speed with the latest one. So... I might be saying something that won't be popular, who knows... but for me... this is hands down THE BEST season of any Housewives franchise... that I've ever seen in my whole life. And I'm saying this knowing pretty well how subjective this is. This is my personal favorite. I can't believe I'm actually saying this. In fact this is the first season where I'm watching episodes and sobbing like a baby every single time... And I really don't like admitting that... hahaha. I'm not a fan of Andy at all and honestly thought BH would be done by now. So... it's definitely a slow-burn type of drama... but it's getting there. Un-masking Amanda aka All About Eve storyline is soooooo interesting to me. WHO IS THIS WOMAN. I am purposefully not googling anything, because I don't want to spoil it for myself. But she gives me the chills - the way she incessantly boasts about how she purchased this and that... and how she bought HER HOUSE... and not her husband... and how HE IS EVERYTHING... except for one thing - he earns less than she does. Why did you have to say this in front of people? Don't you know how demeaning this is for your husband? I honestly feel bad for this guy... I feel pity that he lives with this woman. It's almost like I'm witnessing MY MOTHER, who is a pathological sociopathic narcissist. This woman is so intensely triggering to watch at times... I've never experienced such disgust and aversion towards any other housewife. EVER. That being said - PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE HER FROM THE CAST. She has the potential to become an iconic villain... even Camille in season 1 wasn't that delusional. Regarding Rachel Zoe... Well... I understand she can be a polarizing figure... and over the years, some have criticized her for promoting an anorexic aesthetic... BUT... just listen to me... I ADORE HER. ADORE. ADORE. ADORE HER. Aaaaaaaaaaand her kid is incredibly WISE for his age, it's soooo amusing. I appreciate how genuine and authentic she has been up to this point. She has surprised me so much, I expected nothing but surface level from her, but she is delivering a mature wise woman. Honestly, Kyle - I have to admit, I've never liked her more than I do this season. Watching her revisit old memories at their old house - sure, it was staged and melodramatic... but I F-CKING CRIED with her. I can genuinely relate to her. It takes me back to my early 20s when I was going through a breakup and just passing by his old apartment was enough to BRING ALL THOSE memories back. THAT SAID - she's still two-faced and untrustworthy... the way she threw Jennifer under the bus just to create drama with Sutton... CHILE. But that is Kyle after all, she will never be anything different. She's a mean girl to her bones. As for Sutton - well... I don't know... she seems a bit dull this season, a bit aimless... I can't connect with her like I did in her earlier seasons. THAT'S ALL for Miss Brown. DORIT - well... she's definitely more in the spotlight than even Kyle at this point... and I bet that annoys Kyle a lot. I love that we're finally seeing something GENUINE from her. I'm definitely on her side in the conflict with Kyle... Kyle has no right to dictate what Dorit can or cannot say about her divorce. UNDER THE GUISE of a friendly advice. If Dorit kept quiet, Kyle would be spinning it as if Dorit is hiding something. So really, Dorit can't win. I'm rooting for her in her war with PK. I used to dislike this woman so much years ago... Now she's one of my favorites. Who knew! Talking about changing my mind? Well, THIS SEASON I ABSOLUTELY ADORE BOZ. She brings a refreshing vibe to most scenes, particularly when Amanda is around. I appreciate her sharpness and her ability to pick up on the subtle cues that indicate someone is lying or pretending to be something they’re not. She was the first to sense that something was off with Amanda. When she suggested Amanda give financial advice to Dorit, instead of anything useful or concrete... all we got was Amanda regurgitating clichés and a bunch of meaningless words. AGAIN - WHO IS THIS WOMAN? So far... so good. I absolutely love, love, love this season. I haven’t skipped a single scene... I’ve cried, I’ve laughed... and I’m on edge about what this Amanda psycho is really about. Let’s see how much better the season gets in episodes 10, 11, 12... and so on... I’m diving back into my binge now... but I already know this is my favorite housewives season ever. Maybe it’s because I feel so connected to these women right now. Honestly... I have no clue if this opinion will be unpopular, but I can’t pretend to hate it. It’s definitely not the DRAMA and fights of the classic seasons... and it’s not as campy and intense as some others... But it feels like these women are finally moving forward - nearly ALL are single... and they’re all stepping into a new chapter. It’s almost like a good old season of Sex and the City, minus the sex part. (We have Erica for that)

Not on YouTube, but they are putting out episodes on a streaming platform called https://www.beond.tv/ We've been talking about it a lot in the AMC topic in the Classic soaps section of the forum. All the updates surrounding that project can be read there.
