I'm still not sure why people thought Faye would be coming on board or even back at all as a friend. I mean the latter was maybe a possibility I guess but it's irrlevenet. Her blog was removed, she got overwhelming hate and not in a love to hate way, and had her ass handed to her by everyone leaving her looking like a pathetic try hard she is. A baroness on Rhobh? Yes. This could be good. I agree they need diversity but I also wouldn't want them casting anyone just to make it diverse. Find the best women and cast them. Cat, I do agree that where some of the best wives for the series fail at the game at large of making something out of it, but the Bethannys, Lisa's Vs, Nenes are so extremely few and far between. They are mastering the game. People like Kenya, Kim Z, Teresa, Melissa and others have done a good job tho at least cashing in on outside projects. But what I really care about is the show. For example, Gretchen & Tamara sitting down the very start of last season after years of their being vile and toxic and nasty to hash it out, let it go and move on. Was it staged for the show? Absolutely. But not only was it needed and really set the tone for a much light season than those past (from what I have heard and little I've seen) but they sold it. They made it work, it pissed Alexis and Vicki - their BFFs - off to no end. Them clicking ith heather helped solidly it and the three of them were glorious right up until the reunion. The best part? This season G & T can now clash again, have issues, but it not go directly into being vicious because there is a friendship there. A topical one, for the show more than not, but still. They effectively reset their series without it needing a cast overhaul.

I was chatting with a friend and decided that people like Gretchen, Tamra, Nene, Kim Z, Kyle, Brandi are perfect wives for this series because they know what to do. They know wha producers want what fans want and thy are able to sell it without it coming off as fake. Thoughts?

If she was fired or quit is truly just how you see it because I think the moment she told life and style she used a surrogate after have her lawyers force bravo to edit it and nearly any mention to it out, she was done for. They were never going to invite her back after that - and she knew it. So she didn't go to the reunion and says she quit, basically just to do it before she could be humiliated further by being fired. I'd say it was mutual that she wasnt returning. It just wasnt a decided at the same time through conversations mutual decision.

I see maloof is running her mouth again. Saying she couldn't go to the reunion because of a gag order and that she wasnt fired. Funny HW the day she does vague interviews like that rarer online runs a story about bravo having a hard time casting new ladies on the show - I call bullshit. Bitches be desperate to get on that show. I think they may have a harder time as rumors have had it they want someone note worthy but still I doubt it's difficult to find women. Reader is also running a new story slamming Lisa and ken saying he's lying about raising his son.

I'm not surprised at all. Both are smart women and knew what producers and the audience wanted and would react too. And it did both of them very well. I wouldn't be surprised if they've shared a bottle of wine and some laughs in secret over the years.

No, Sami broke into the house late at night and I think Roman shot his gun or something like that. She was stalking john and i think kim at some point before that.

Honestly? While thats really sad, its also kind of amazing.

Yes that is for Samis arrival

It was glorious.

"I almost feel like it would make her happy if she failed" I'm not gonna lie when I saw Brandi say that my jaw dropped. I mean - I think it's the truth and I knew she was going to say it. But still. Shocking. The preview is online.

Um, I think that a Jill/Alex/Luann/Ramona/Sonja return would have been a poor decision. I think that perhaps they made a mistake in keeping Sonja or even Luanne maybe over Jill or Alex, but I def don't think both Jill and Alex should have returned. It seems like Jill had become insufferable BRS and for that she did deserve to be fired. I've said it before and ill say it again, their biggest mistake was not doing a true reboot. Very single one of the old wives should have been fired with a whole new cast coming on and promoting the series as RHONY 2.0. Yeah she's done. She even had a TH on a previous season. Lol. No blog, no talking head, overwhelming hatred from viewers, and no reunion invite? She's more irrelevant to them than Dana was.

Did Faye have talking heads this season and they were just cut back/no longer used or did she never get one?

To bad she didn't study Brandi last season on how to earn a spot. Faye is the new Dana.

Faye doesn't need a diamond. Nobody wants to see her life. She can remain a parched, desperate nobody friend of Viles.

Honestly, I'd say twitter and the bravo comments section is the best judge of who is liked and not. Nene and Lisa seem to be universally loved I'd say. Of course they have their haters - I hate nene - but it seems few and far between.

Brandi has laid off/cut back on the Botox and it looks great

I wonder if Pandora and Brandi have a friendship too.

I just don't see a problem with anyone clarifying it isn't a choice. It can't be said, or new enough.

Yup. She picked shrew to attack to fight for her spot on the show and then Sheree was fired so why would they keep Marlo? She didn't add anything really besides that. I think it was more unresolved anger at Kyle for many things that came out masked at simply what Brandi said about her.

Yeah. People are just going solely off what Marlo states as if she is a reliable, unbiased source.

Where to begin? Lisa's influence on Brandi really was showing tonight when Faye was desperate to get to her she remained calm, cool and collected and shut her down. Lisa of course is the master of this and seriously showed what a desperate, washed up nobody Rancid is. It was hilarious as it tried to say Lisa uses Brandi as her mouthpiece when brandi has been like this from the start of her time on the show. Lisa doesnt use Brandi, she doesnt need to. If anything Lisa tried to calm her down and make her act better, lol. The best part of this was it is a mouthpiece, to her master Adrianne. Loved it when Marissa half heartedly tried to say it was just sticking up for her and then was made to see the truth when it was pointed out that she just came over to attack Brandi. Also, notice how it wasnt around when Adrianne showed up? Speaking of that, what a bitch move. It would actually be a glorious bitch move if it was from anyone but adrianne, lol. She totally hear it was a vow renewal and decided to crash it and try to steal the spotlight,but once again Lisa wasnt playing into desperate bitch moves and just ignored her. Lisa & Brani up in her room pre-renewal was just divine. Love this friendship. The vows were wonderful and i loved the shout out to Brandi at the end, and how we all know a piece of Vile Richards died inside when that happened. I also loved the way Yolanda told David to go say hi to Brody Jenners mom and told Lisa she makes him get along with her, lol. I just love Yolanda and her whole outlook on life. Now here is a wife I want a book from. It would become my lemon scented bible. I get Kims anger, I just dont think she has the ability to communicate what she truly means. I dont think her issue was Brandi and she was let that go and moved on, but the way Vile is so offended and pressed for months and months after what brandi said about it and brings it up as a reason she isnt a good person and just dismisses what she put Kim through, but then at the same time its like... did brandi lie? I honestly kind of feel like this episode, paris, and the reunion kind of leads one to believe the crystal meth comment was spot on, esp with the comparisons to vile outing her drinking the previous season. Taylor? Bye. The reunion was glorious. The wives were all stunned when Andy fired it right there in the opening and basically called her a coward then Brandi just destroyed her and they moved the !@#$%^&*] on. All the wives but Vile were dressed great. I liked the mixed up seating arrangement too. Another great point was Brandi saying you dont get to be on these shows and have secrets and Kim backing that up. Oh, Sisters Richards clearly got together to try and band together to take down the Holy Trinity. They failed, as they always do. Absolutely the best moment was Lisa being on point and calling Vile out on her friendshsip tactics accorirding to what houses the Mr can sell. I foudn it interestiung that Kim tried to defend Kyle after Housegate of season one, lol. I think Lisa has a valid point and Kyle even showed it by stating her and Adrienne are not and never were very close. For someone she wasnt very close too she sure was a strong defender of. Then they try to attack Yolanda? I think its likely that Kim had a slip up or something in Paris and Yolanda knows it and they are terrified of her outing that. She is also the weakest of the trinity due to her health issues and still having a bit of a language barrier. I absolutely loved Kyle twisting what she said in Paris (some of we saw, i think) to make it something it wasnt and Lisa not buying it. Taylor? Again, bye.

Im not sure why age or location matters, but ok...

Marlo's use of the word is the positivity of why it's such a vile word to use even when not saying it to a gay person as an insult.

I liked that he was clarified it wasn't a choice but I don't think she meant it like that at the same time
