Well, I guess the reports are true - Beverly Hills did tape their reunion after all. I suppose with so much happening right at the end of the season, they wanted to capitalize on the raw emotions and get it filmed in a reunion before too much time has passed? Hopefully they do an update reunion later this year once the season airs and combine the two? Adrienne decided to attend the reunion at the last minute: http://www.examiner.com/article/real-housewives-of-beverly-hills-reunion-filmed-amidst-separation-drama

Ugh - so wait, Jac doesn't attend this season's reunion either??? WTF? I'm over her if this is true - you can't just skip out two years in a row and expect to still be a housewife that people want to watch. If you can't handle it, then get out of the show. http://global.christianpost.com/news/real-housewives-jacqueline-laurita-skips-reunion-turns-to-kim-g-over-teresa-giudice-feud-79399/

Kelly Bensimon is probably the worst Real Housewife in history. Period.

Last week on WWHL, Andy said something about Brianna being his 'Woman of the Year'... he totally loves her, and I doubt she'd decide to not film because she's been doing it since Season 1 and she hasn't been afraid to call her mother out numerous times on camera. Plus Andy loves Vicki - I think he'll use her until the very end of OC. He wrote about her a lot in his book... and I really think Vicki has more story potential in Season 8 than she had in Seasons 3-5. Vicki and Brianna aren't going anywhere!

Oh! I totally missed that --- now I see it. Sorry about that. Yeah, I'm pretty excited too - looks different from Season 1 and I like how the husbands and mothers are more involved as well. Sure looks like a lot of drama. I also like how Housewives are back on Thursday nights... it's been too long since that's happened. I don't really like it on Sunday or Monday. Tuesday is fine. I wonder what other city they will pair it with --- I guess NYC would be finishing and then BH would take their Monday spot. Atlanta will probably air when Miami is done? I wonder how long Miami is this year (last season was SO short).

For me, it's more that Carole and Bethenny are similar in their funny jabs and call-it-like-they-see it style. They are both cool and funny.

Haha - I guess the Miami preview and reveal doesn't excite many here... that doesn't bode well for them!

Y'all - the new season of Miami has been announced! Looks like Miami is throwing punches! For sure Atlanta will show the fighting now... http://www.bravotv.com/the-real-housewives-of-miami/season-2/videos/everything-goes-on-in-miami Looks fun! Premieres Thursday, Sept. 13th.

More Beverly Hills drama... Adrienne is going to become an outcast if she keeps this up... she'll be the new Alexis! http://www.examiner.com/article/adrienne-maloof-takes-legal-action-against-real-housewives-cast

Wow - just watched the 2 OC reunions - loved it! What a great season for the OC. Heather will be back... I could even see them keeping Alexis (if Jim lets her), just to fuel the Heather/Alexis rivalry. Without Slade, Gretchen barely has a storyline... she better work on that. Vicki has HUGE storyline potential - I can't wait to see her break up with Brooks, become a grandma, etc etc... So much has happened with Briana and Vicki since the finale, they could have done an entire show focused on them (like Kim from ATL).

Oh, that Heather fake smile gif is hilarious! I'm so behind - but I'll catch up this weekend. I read that ratings for NJ this Sunday were huge - over 2.6 million - the 4th highest of the 12 episodes so far this season. The OC's Season 7 average ratings were higher than Season 6 - so that's good news for them.

Speaking of big trips... the Beverly Hills ladies will be going to Paris in Season 3! There are a few other minor spoilers in this: http://entertainment.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981470730 I'm trying to remember - where did they go in their Season 1 and Season 2? I know they went to Hawaii last year, but was that all? It seems like they should have the most lavish trips.

Didn't Ramona slap a producer during filming of Season 4 NYC? It never went to air because it was between her and a producer (crosses the reality line)... but she obvi wasn't fired. http://www.realitytea.com/2010/10/05/report-nyc-housewives-ramona-singer-slaps-a-producer/

Apparently Nene is fired for her fight with both Kandi and a male producer... should be some drama!!! http://global.christianpost.com/news/real-housewives-nene-leakes-fired-reality-star-struck-male-producer-78110/

I was JUST thinking that last night. She reminds me of Season 1 Bethenny. She's hilarious, going on awkward dates and laughing about them... she brings to the table what Bethenny did on S1.

Hahaha I thought a few of you might say that I promise, I'm not that similar to Alexis.

Y'all --- Lisa Vanderpump's former mansion from S1 and S2 of BH is on fire! Check this out - scary! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/real-housewives-beverly-hills-20m-mansion-owned-lisa-vanderpump-burns-firefighter-hurt-blaze-article-1.1105394?localLinksEnabled=false

Man, that OC finale was amazing! Best finale ever (I agree!). Between Heather kicking Sarah out, Jim's random arrival and quick exit, Alexis running after Jim's car and leaving the party without being part of the cast photos at the end, to Vicki vs. Tamra. That [!@#$%^&*] was great! I'm totally team Tamra/Briana - Brooks is so creepy and weird and Vicki is totally brainwashed. I love that both Tamra and Briana stand their ground with Brooks. You could sort of tell that Tamra was scared of Vicki though - she was not screaming back like she would have with Alexis or any other girls. That Vicki can get in your face and be scary! Congrats to the OC girls though - they brought in a great finale that has me wanting more! That's a sure sign of Season 8 with most likely all the ladies, with perhaps Alexis being cut. NYC was great too - love Carole - can't say that enough. She looked gorgeous at Sonja's party! I'm loving the Heather vs. Ramona too --- and y'all are right - Ramona feels like she HAS to go bc of all the potential backstage implications. But Heather is new and powerful/rich, so to her it really means nothing... I wonder if Bravo eventually 'made' her invite Ramona. Should be interesting...

I didn't realize they could drop F bombs in Canada! If that series ever gets picked up in the US, they'll have to do some editing, I suppose. I'd love to watch Vancouver - sounds really good!

I like Heather and her husband seems nice/cute... but she does seem to put on a fake smile a little too much. I'm interested in seeing her progress after she gets used to cameras being around. I think right now she's too aware that she's on TV and her business and reputation could be hurt by drama. We'll see. I think she's really smart, and I really enjoyed the scene with her family and sister remembering her father (from 1st or 2nd episode). Heather's got credentials - Dana is just a pathetic wannabe.

I was amazed by how much Kara and Jeana looked alike in the OC finale! Wow! I'm happy Tamra apologized and they had closure on the wine throwing from last season. That was great. That Sarah chick seriously needs to go. She's not funny, she's obvious with trying to start drama, but has to get drunk first... it's just pathetic and she's not entertaining. I LOVE Carol from NYC - that woman is hilarious and so refreshing. She's the wilder, downtown NYC girl they TRIED to have with Cindy from last season, who as we all know FAILED. Go Carol!

Oh Lord - Gretchen needs to stop... she probably has the worst vocals of any "singing" RH. Her entire storyline this year was her pussing out of singing for anyone because she screamed too loud and it affected her throat for months. AND Andy asked her to sing on WWHL one time and she was totally thrown off and didn't even know the lyrics and refused. Even Luann will sing when asked!

Ah man! Andy Cohen has fooled us! I was expecting a real fight or attack on the upcoming OC reunion (based on his tweets and the news articles out there)... but it was only a bird!!! http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20605619,00.html Funny though - reactions are priceless. I just got Andy Cohen's book in the mail --- I can't wait to read! He and I are so much alike - grew up loving All My Children and Susan Lucci, and having my mom tape the soaps while I was at summer camp! Haha! He has a whole chapter about the Housewives and Reunion shows, so that should be a fun read. I skimmed it and he discusses DC, which is interesting.

Aw, I like Alexis. She's harmless and funny. Yep Cheap, that lady that Heather kicks out of her party is Sarah Winchester --- Gretchen's friend that got owned by Vicki at Heather's bowling party. She's officially a 'Friend of the Housewives' if you look at Bravo's website for the OC ladies, which surprises me because we barely got a glimpse into her life and family, and she barely had any talking head interviews... but I guess because she caused enough drama at a few of the events, she qualified. I doubt she'll ever be back though. She's also an heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune. I love how they are promo'ing the OC finale - as a Part 1 and Part 2, similar to reunions. This is the first time they've ever done that on any series, right? Can't wait!
